NEW MOVEMENT
 WILL ASSIST MINING
(From Sundays DAily.)

(From Sundays DAily.)
 Several business men of Prescott are in receipt of circular from Butte, Montana, which outlines a clever and commendable system of the cooperative spirit by which prop critics may be worked to the advant- age of the owner and at a small risk to each individual shareholder who may be a subscriber to the capital stock. Excerpts from the letter out line the plan of organization, which briefly is as follows;
 Our industry is mining, and natur- ally we desire to see 1t promoted. There arc hundreds of thousands of dollars waiting for the opportune time to develop certain properties at present inactive, and all that is nee essary to induce this inflow of capital is encouragement. By this we mean there are many prospective investors who are anxiously waiting to sec whether we, as citizens of Butte, have sufficient confidence in these properties to invest some of our cap ita1 by taking the initiative in devel- opment. Appreciative of this condi- ton several of our citizens got to- gether and decided to look for a property of merit, and in which own CTS of the ground would have suih- cient confidence to accept stock in a corporation instead of eXacting large cash payment under lease and bond. 1 This latter method would prove a handicap to the investor, as a large number of people are willing to invest their money for the purpose of de ve1oping a property if they know a company owns the ground. About this time the mining fraternity learn ed of a good strike of ore on the Bonanza claim, four miles north of the city, and after careful inspection we decided to develop this property. Our new organization of business men immediately got the owners to- gethcr and they agreed to permit us to organize our company with the un- derstanding they are to take stock | for their interests, covering four claims, of approximately 75 acres. We proceeded to incorporate the com panv for 500,000 shares, par value Sl each. under the title of The Bonanza Butte Mining Co.,, with the following conditions agreed to: First-That the subscription will be limited tc 100000 shares and this stock is to be placed on the market to pay for de ve1opment. Second-The owners arc to receive 27O0SO shares for payment of the property with this stock to be placed in a pool for one year or more. We also are to give every subscriber an option on an equal amount of stock subscribed for at the same rate of so cents per share, good until January 1, 19l6. The success oi the Bonanza Butte means hundred; of thousands of dollars for resident; of this city"
 So favorably has this matter beer received in Prescott that 1t will be presented before future meeting o the Chamber of Commerce, wher definite action is to be taken to in itiate such a worthy movement tol this mining field, where are scores O properties waiting for just such ar opportunity to start developing. Witt the support and endorsement of busi ness men the investor can be drawr from the merchant as well as tho wage earncr, with all on an equa footing and their holdings securely protected by cooperative manage ment.

 Mayor Timcrhoff who was present, answered Dr. Finn with the follow ing: "I believe at the present time that it is absolutely necessary for you fellows to act immediately and make one big move for the establishment of the sanatorium in this city and if we all don't get in and work for the big project it will be between but two cities. Two of the doctors are willing to go and l can't see why we should not send 20 or 30 of us and make good. Go down to San Diego and show them a hot time in the old town to- night"
 Attorney Robt. E. Morrison spoke of his work in connection with having the Knights of Columbus sanatorium built in Prescott, saying that it was still under consideration. He finish ed by declaring that he would be among those to go to the convention and boost for Prescott.
