INCORPORATION OF THE
 ARIZONA-NEVADA COMPNY
From Thursdays DanyD

Articles of incorporation were filed
 yesterday in the county recorder s
 office of the Arizona Nevada Copper
 company, and attending the creation
 of that enterprise there is the be- ginning of one of the greatest min ing projects in this county. The
 company above alluded to is that
 which has heretofore been develop ing certain copper mines on Copper creek, near Hillside. and this doeu- ment but crystallizes the interests of
 the new corporation and initiates the
 work on heavy lines of production
 for the immediate future. For near
 Iy four years the ground taken over recently firm John Lawler. F. W.
 Wells and W. F.. Hazeltine has been
 under development, ad but few
 weeks ago the final payment was
 made, which runs close to $lOO,OOO.
 The aggregate sum paid for the group
 will total to over a quarter of a
 million of dollars. This is one of the best indications of the existence of a new copper belt. and that it is to be regarded as of permanency is judged by the extensive work given in the time it has been operated un- der bond. and the closing of the deal in making the final payment The instrument recorded comes from Del aware. having that legal construction, and the men behind it are J. l.. Cir oux. formerly of the United Verde. W. T. Hook. Elmer M. Bray and Loren NJ. Hart. Mir GirOux, while in the employ of Senator Clark. at .Jer- ome, visited the property. and later placed it with his friends, retaining heavy interest. The work of pros pecting the field was immediately un- dertaken. and in addition to the To- cations held by the Arizona people, additional ground was taken in, which totals at the present time over 1000 acres.
 Following the creation yesterday of this new company, the purpose is given out to begin extraction. The wagon road from Hillside to the mines. distance of about twenty five miles, is to be practically re- built and placed in condition to per init of the transportation of heavy machinery which is to be placed on the ground. The company will build this road, and it is possible that a portion of the county funds will be applied to it to maintain a thorough | fare on the established route for a ] distance The character | of the machinery is said to be of the best and the heaviest ever introduced l in this section. and ii is desired to have road that will permit of the most rapid and feasible means of ] communication
 This company is also considering lif lflllAlLR bl d ldllodl lb lutlI | interests. Seligman is spoken of as q point to start from, affording an easy grade and having timber along its route Hillside. on the <. F., P. X F.. is also n line, but the topog- raphy of the country will entail a heavier expense than the northern route. For the present. however, wagon communication will prevail, and that. too. for some time.
 The opening of this field to pro lUction brings into the mineral life of the country a splendid regard, and as it does. practical effort ifter so long time in opening up, the general belief that mining Inducements in this field are ,f ,he highest rating when afforded in opportunity to demonstrate their merit, as is evident in this partic- ar instance.
