HOME OF FAMOUS MONTE
CHRITO ATTRACTING
CAPITAL; MANY MINES
TO BE OPENED UP

1T is simply impossible for any
one be he trained engineer, or
/ practical miner, to forecast the pos
sibilities of the wonderful Monte
Christie mine" said Judge P. S
Wren yesterday, who arrived from
Constellation.
Continuing on that subject he
said: 1T should be the aim of cv-
cry man in Arizona interested or
identified with mines or mining to
so to the camp and make an in
spection of underground conditions
to behold one of the mineral mar
wells OF the age: the property is al
ways open, and the management
does not seem to be inclined to
withhold from the public the privi-
legc to see the silver treasures
stored below. Many engineers have
been on the ground in recent
months and not one has lett the
camp without expressing himself as
astounded with the property at cv-
cry point. examined"
In giving a review of that Sec
ton, the visitor says that the Ari-
iona Copper Belt people are very
active at the present time. The
new hoist is installed, and a large
line OF miscellaneous work is be-
ing performed. Development is to
begin at once, and the indications
for big producing copper and
gold property seem to be assered.
The old keystone, after laying
idle for several years, situated one
and one-half miles from Constella-
ton has been revived, in which Col
orado capitalists have started de-
velopmcnt. The same syndicate has
acquired the Hitc holdings, better
known as the King Solomon group
originally located by Jack Ellis,
and both properties are to be opcr
atcd Jointly with a large amouu'
IF capital being disburscd.
Following the big strike on the
Black Rock Limited. the manage
ment has let 4 contract in shaft
sinking that further exploration to
depth may be given before exten
sive operations are decided upon.
This property is attracting very
much attention as a future producer
OF copper and gold and has stimulat-
ed the country Tor miles around.
At the Monte Christie information
is given out that Mr.. Thaycr, the
mainstay Of the property, has de-
cided to sink to the 100 foot level
from the 700, before any definite
plan will be announced as to what
disposition IS to be made OF the i'm,
mcnse tonnage Of high grade silver
ore that is exposed i'll ovcry open
ing TO a depth OF 700 feet. The
main shaft IS now nearing the 500
foot level, and every foot OF de-
velopment subStantiates d wonder
Jul property OF the future
Judge Wren states the movement
OF the Copper Belt TO install a
smeltcr OF the Gamm invention, is
creating a vast amount OF interest
among the scores OF individual mine
owners. Accordingly more work is
going on among this class than
ever known, in anticipation OF hav-
ing market on the ground. The
entire Constellation field, he says,
IS assuming more interest as to
possibilities that at any time Since
it was founded, and he anticipates
