RosALIE HAS ORE SHOOT
 1000 FEET IN LENGTH
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

W. G. Bryant of Joplin, Mo, presi- dent of the Rosalie Copper Company, arrived here late Monday night from his company's camp in the Copper Creek district, after a two weeks wis it of inspection there. He left yester- day afternoon for his home in the east, accompanied by Dr. O. F. Malcolmn of New York, a large shareholder in the company.
 President Bryant is very optimistic over the future of his company's nold- ings. He believes that in less than five years he will develop the proper ties into the greatest producers in the territory. George c. Miese and L. E. Moses of Joplin also returned here from the company's camp with Presi- dent Bryant.
 As a result of the visit of these stockholders in the Rosalie Copper Company to the company's holdings, arrangements for the erection of large reduction plant will be cOnsid- cred by the directors of the company in the near future. Development of the mines will be pushed with renewed energy and new machinery involving an outlay of several thousand dollars will be purchased and added to the equipment now on the ground.
 "Imagine an ore shoot opened by a tunnel 1000 feet in length, showing an average thickness of seven feet and carrying ten per cent copper values, and tell me of more promising prop erty in the entire territory of ArizO- na.' President Bryant said to a Jour- nal-Miner representative.
 E'This is what the Rosalie Copper Company can show to any mining man who cares to visit its camp in the Cop per Creek district on a moments mo- tice.
 ''In a mining experience covering a quarter of century in Colorado, Mex leo and other states I cannot recall seeing a property that can compare with the Rosalie, taking into consider ation the amount expended in its de- velopment.
 Conservative estimates show that there is now $4,5OO,OOO worth of ore in sight over the l,OOO-foot tunnel that follows the vein into the mountain.
 "'The erection of a concentrating plant of large capacity will soon be considered by the directors. There is now more than enough ore in sight to justify the statement that the proper ertv will open into one of the best mines of the territory.
 q do not care to give ont the i'm pression that the mine can be placed in the producing class right away. l. will take at least five years to open it. Some say that it will not pay on account of the great distance from a railroad over which the product can be transported to market. My eXpe- rience in mining is that mines are not found along railroads. The prospector and miner generally gets away as far as he can from a railroad. When rail road investors see a tonnage Tn sight for at least five years they are always ready to build a railroad. The ques- ton of railroad to the company s properties is an. after consideration. am in favor of developing the mine and allowing the railroad people to dis cover that a railroad to it is paying proposition
 President Bryan will return here III a few months to make arrangements for the erection of a large cOncentrat ing plant.
 The Rosalie group is located in tho Copper Creek district in the Black l Hills range. 2S miles east of Mayer the nearest railroad station, on tho
 Bradshaw Mountain railroad.
