COPPER IS GOOD
Thing TO TIE TO
Enormous Wealth Being Dedi-
Gated to Opening New Dis
tricts of Arizona.
FRED FLINDT LIKES
THIS SORT OF FAITH
Believes the Inspiration Mine
Is One of Greatest Copper
Properties in Land.

factions speak louder than words. /
: do not take half the heed to theories
In regard TO the copper situation, nor
TO the predictions made, that we are
going to enjoy prosperous copper times,
that ] do 10 the actions of some of the
greatest men of money and big affairs
in the world IN the recognized red metal
fields Of the country said Fred
Flindt, the wcll-known mining man who
has been investigating copper proper
ties in Arizona for the past four
months.
''Down IN Arizona continued Mr..
F'lindr, 'men of great wealth, some of
the most noted capitalists of the world,
are spending min;s Of money in develop
ing new copper fields and new copper
prospects. Now | feel sure, when
brought into actual contact with this
great work, that the copper situation
is going to be all we could ask, other
wise these hard headed men of bust
ness affairs would not be spending their
money so freely IN corralling new copper
properties
Mr.. Flindt has spent most OF the
Copper properties in Arizona, He states
that all doubt as to this territory nav"
ing the famous Miami copper resources
has been removed by actual develop
ments. The Inspiration company is do
ing q great work at this time, and il
has demonstrated its merits to the point
of allowing Mr.. Flindt 10 say that it
is one of the great copper mines of tho
land. The company IS developing It's
property by means of shafts and churn
drills
One shaft. the Bush by name, has
reached a depth of 100 feet, getting the
sulphides at depth of seventy feet,
This shaft was started on a knoll, and
it was thought that fully 500 feet of
sulpbides would come in. On either
side of the hill extends a wide area of
level ground throughout which Nj,
Fbndt himself found much copper sui
phides on the surface The overburden
in this part of the property will not be
over thirty feet in thickness, and he
pronounces it one Of the most ideal
stesm~shovel propositions one could
want.
The Bush shaft is 500 feet west of
the Miami lines. Fully 5000 feet still
farther west of the Bush shaft is the
Bulldog shaft, now down 260 feet The |
management has encountered the same |
typical copper sulphides in tins shaft
also. The keystone property on the
west of the Inspiration has developed
the same sulphides as the Inspiration
and the chnrn drills on the latter prop !
erty are both in copper ore west of the |
Bulldog shaft So Mr.. Flindt takes 1t |
definitely determined that this great |
length Of Inspiration territory will con-
tain one unbroken deposit of copper ore, |
and the width Of the zone is enormous, |
and. as vet, undetermined.
The general average of all the Iuspir- |
alton workings at present is B per cent
copper, although Mr. Flindt has seen
much higher values found as the work
progressed. :.
'sThe Inspiration company has big |
mine, there can be no doubt of that
said Mr.. Flindt. "There are greater
risks taken in Arizona than we take
in Utah to find copper ores. know
of propositions which did not show a
copper value OF stain anywhere on the |
surface, vet because big copper inter
ests deemed the situation ripe for re-
suits at depth. they have started deep
shafts, spending an untold amount OF |
wealth developing mere prospects. And |
best of all. splendid results are follow
ing this sort of endeavor. 1t is such
risks as these which assure me. that
copper is good thing TO tie TO.
