COMMITTEE OF DIRECTORS
 FINISHING THEIR LABORS.
A Month Has Been Spent In Going Into Every Detail of Company Affairs and
 Recommendations Now in Order.

The committee on investigation
 from the Board of Directors of the
 Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, the home
 office of which is located in Edinburgh
 Scotland, consistings of Messrs Pent
 land, Miller, Salvesen and Carter
 have about completed their investi
 gations and Messrs Pentland and
 Miller expect to leave next week for
 their homes in scotland. Messrs Salvesen and Carter departed tuo weeks ago.
 The Investigations conducted by
 tue committee have covered wide scope Every detail Of the several departments has been sifted. Visits. of inspe tion have been made to other mining -ceprers in Arizona, and alter more than a month of sightsee- ing and examination, the committee is now in readiness to make it's re- port to the Board in Scotland.
 That these recomme ndations are far reaching in importance is conceded, but the exact nature of the recommendations will not be known until after some conclusion has been reached by the full Board Of Directors based upon the report of the committee.
 A representative of the ERA was granted an interview with Directors Miller and Pentland this morning but the representative did most Of the talking. Mir. Pentland admitted that big plans for improvements and enlargement had been considered by the committee during their stay here; that the different departments had been gone over thoroughly with the heads of those departments; that their reports and recommendations were being compiled, but MT. Pent- land added that it would be impossible for the committee at this time to give out for publication any of their recommendations, prior to their re- presentation to the full Board of Directors.
 One recommendatio of the com mittee. which will be urged before the Board, will be the erection of a club house and part gymnasium MT. Pentland stated that he was quite positive the recommendation of the committee in this matter would be followed by the Board. At present the committee proposes the erection of the club building on the site of the Airdome, aud other buildings in that vicinity, but intimated that before this was made positive other similar plans on an enlarged scale might be adopted. Further than this recom- meudation. MT. Pentland courteously declined to divulge for publication any other matters contained in the report.
 It is a well known fact, however, that the principal mission of the committee to Clifton at this time has been in connection with the pro- posed erection of new reduction plant, either upon the present site, or in some other locality near by. The inspection of other plants in southern Arizona at Globe, Douglas and Cananea has been in connection with this proposition. The develop ment work in the mines of the Ari- zona Copper Co., show apparently ore supplies for many years to come. There is no reason wby the A. C. Co.,, with an enlarged re ductiou plant, should not double its present production.
 At any rate there is every reason to believe that the visit of the com mittee from the Board of Directors means greater things for Clifton in the near future. The outlook for the of the substantial pros perity of the district was never better in it's entire history. The Clifton Morenci district has d record as a steady producer uuequaled by any | other mining district in Arizona and the present outlook is that there is to | be continuation of this record for many years to come.
