ACQUIRES CONTROL
OF CENTURION MINE
Mine Near johnson Camp Is
Financed by American
Metals Company.

Douglas, Ariz.. Aug. 2S.-With stock
valued at $4,000 already purchased by
the American Metals company, of New
York, and option taken by the same
concern upon other stock valued at
almost 100000, the future of the Cen
turion mine, near Johnson camp, looks
bright News of the deal reached here
vaguely few Gays and full confirma-
ton was given by J. P Richardson,
president Of the concern, during a
brief visit
Beside putting up $4,000 in cash,
the company has optioned 440, 700
shares of stock. This will give the
american Metals company Al percent
of the capitalization of the company
and, with the treasury stock, control
Of the mine. H L Brown, represent
ing the purchasing company, is now
in charge of development of the Cen
turion as general manager.
1t is the plan Of the purchasers to
determine the extent Of the ore zone
prior to purchasing machinery. For
this purpose drift is being run upon
the 625 foot level This is now in sew
eral hundred feet and has passed
through about 500 feet of shipping ore.
1t then went into barren ground and
a few days ago again came into ore.
The 625 drift is but six feet above
water level and the promise of the
property is for community of ore de-
pOsits to indefinite depth below water
level AS much of the stock is held
in Douglas, this will indeed be good
news to local people.
Another matter of business which
brought Mr.. Richardson here was to
make arrangement for putting Dragon
townsite. the patent Of which belongs
to the company, upon the market. H.
McGin, of Bisbee. has been appointed
general agent and will handle the sale
of the townsite in this county.

Another important move py the COM
many is the beginning Of the sinking
of a new four compartment shaft on

in the camp, it already being proved
for 100 feet in width and extending
from the 800 to the 500 level, and which
in all probability will extend to much
greater depth.
