OLD OWNERS BUY IN
PARKER PROPERTIES

E. S. Osborne and c. w. Wardwell,
representing Los Angeles capital, have
repurchased the WardWell-Osborne
copper properties in the Parker dis
trict, Arizona, at a reported big ad-
vance, after having sold these mines
to the Empire Copper Mines company
Tor 100000
At the time of the sale, more than
year ago, the property was miles
from the railroad and was too far
from smelters and from transporta-
ton to be proftably worked without
the investment of a large amount Of
capital
The building Of the Santa Fe cutoff,
however from Bengal to Parker, with
the completion of the Bouse-SWansea
line, has opened up this part of the
Parker mining district and places the
mine in a position to be cheaply
worked.
At the present time the smelter of
the Clara Consolidated also is nearing
completion and will be blown in with
in the next thirty days. This permits
the reduction of copper ores within fiji
teen miles of the WardWcll-
properties and hence the ore can be
handled very cheaply.
E. S. Osborne has just returned to
Los Angeles from a trip to the Parker
district in preparation for the instala-
tiOn Of a line Of automobile trucks
from the mine to the railroad, a dis
tonce of less than seven miles. These
trucks are seven-ton capacity and per-

reserves of good quality are being de-
veloped well in advance of the mill
requirements.
Company work on the Diamondtield
Black Butte has resulted in opening a
strong ore shoot in a winze from the
original adit on the north side of the
Butte, apparently an extension OF the
vein exposed on the Campbell lease
but believed to be a portion of the
main ore body of this property. The
ore is OF shipping grade, and the vein,
which will be sought at greater depth,
is we'll defined and its course is now
readily traced for a considerable dis
tance from the old workings to the
point where ii has been exposed later.
North of the Black Butte some pay
ore is exposed on the Belmont from
which several shipments have been
made, averaging above $l00 a ton.
Leases on the Daisy are also getting
some ore of commercial quality, and
it is said that work is to be resumed
shortly on the Gold Coin claim of the
Jumbo Extension, near Diamondheld,
which has yielded high grade ore in
the past.

At II o'clock assembly was blown

to town in heavy marching order.
The organization was split into two
sections for transportation purposes.
A train was made up for the compan.

up of baggage car and eight tourist

special left Fargo at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon for St. Paul.
The journey through Minnesota was
replete with many interesting adven.

cities and towns enroute were very
much enthused over the train load of
soldiers. Some miles east of Perham
the train passed through small for

so dense that the boys had to close

through Detroit some of the members
of Company A espied Grant Call on
the station platform and their fare

before Little Falls was reached light
rain began to fall, which cooled of the
atmosphere considerably.
The train pulled into Little Falls at
6 o'clock and remained there for |
thirty minutes. Nearly all of the
guardsmen awaited themselves of the
opportunity to go up town and walk
about for a little exercise. BY way OF
entertainment for the visitors there
was a small fire, which furnished some
diversion during the half hour stay. !
At $50 the special pulled out for

was devoid of excitement. The entire

Captain Murphy and his men are de.

were the recipients of much hearty
applause at the time, and many warm
congratulations from military officials
and citizens who witnessed the cere-

the captain warmly. He said the boys
did themselves proud. AS the CON-

columns of squads the command OF

wheeled in absolute precision into

salute. Thanks, captain" he said.
That was all, but it expressed a world
