over by this organization. Mr. Green |
way advised it when several copper |
authorities had pronounced against it |
or who at least would not take it for |
the same figures as Calumet e Ari- |
IONA secured it for and the price was
certainly low enough for a copper
property of any such extent i'm ores |
as is this. Others who had looked it |
over seemed to be staggered by its
distance from a railway, or else they
feared they could not secure the cop
per at a profit. Mr. Greenway not
only brought the property to the at.
tention of his company but he has
practically developed the process that
is to be applied in winning the miner
al from the rock. He has slept with
this property for the last several
years, and the editor of Iron Ore per
sonally Knows that he has worked
very hard to bring it to its present
stage. There have been innumerable
hard trips over the desert in an kinds
of weather rough, tough trips there
was water to be found and developed;
lands to be secured; titles to be clear
ed many minds to smooth out; pro-
Cess.es TO be looked into; important
features to be invented hundreds of
tests to be made; many sleepless
nights figuring on just how it could
all best be done, and the much that
had to be done to get this vast ore
deposit properly sized up from all its
many angles. Ten cents a ton on
forty million tons, meant sum that
would practically equip the property,
so it was important to give the clos
est attention to the minuest detail It
| has been a big work a real mans
work, and Mr.. Greenway has carried
| it through in a real mans way It's
final entrance into the copper produ-
| cling column and it's success will be
very largely due to his energy and
skill, both of which he possesses in a
wonderful degree. It's no joke taking
an ore deposit in the Ajo mountains
and working it out to the point where
dividends will be earned from it To
bring it into refined copper means
very much more than the average
mortal realizes. We have been at the
mine, have looked the place over,
have appreciated some of the di1icu-
tiles that had to be surrounded, and
we admire those who have brought
the property into activity and who
certainly are going to win i'm its opera
ton, It's "a splendid work, the kind
that adds to the worlds importance
i'm a clean, fine way, but it has had
associated with it many hardships
that the coupon shearer never will
know about
The Minerals Of Aio Mountains.
With the final establishment of New
p Cornelia as a dividend payer, there
= is going to be much looking into tho
rocks of this region. The railway will
be a great incentive as former Ions
and ardous trips viii be dispensed
