Salt River Valley Canning Company, With Offices in Mesa, Incorporated Yes terday Buildings Start Soon

One of the most important occur rences to the residents of Arizona, since the celebration of the Roosevelt dam, was that of yesterday when the news emenated from the offices of the Salt River Valley Canning company of this city to the effect that the incorpora- tion had been perfected and that the stock had all been subscribed for The following statement was issued by the company yesterday:
 The incorporation of The Salt River Valley Canning company, with offices at Mesa, Arizona, has been practically effected, the stock has been all sub scribed for, and the first meeting of the stockholders will be held next week. when officers will be elected
 Tt is the purpose of the company to install an up-tO-date cannery, fully equipped to turn out canned food -stuffs under sanitary conditions, economically and efficiently The company is de- sirous of entering into contract with the various fruit and vegetable grow CTS of the valley, and will utilize the following: Cabbage. sweet potatoes squash, pumpkin, poultry, peas, beans. apricots, peaches, tomatoes, peppers, Pi"iii9' AuNuAiiDSi 9' NrNA"' Sldpc9T pcaAS' corn, chow -chow, pickles, catsup, as paragus figs, dates, marmalades, etc.
 Probably no industry will be of more direct benefit to the farmers of this valley than the canning industry.
 The entire capacity of the plant which Is contemplated-whic is some thing over 75,00O cases (two dozen each) per year-it is firmly believed will be demanded this season, when additional equipment will be installed as needed. With the soil and climate of the Salt River Valley. there should he no shortage of vegetables or fruit for canning.

MINING ACTIVITY

There is a noticeable mining ac-
tivity in the vicinity of Nina Ore
shipments from this station are also
showing an increase. The past few
days Mark Matthews and Phil Smith
made a shipment of high-grade cop
per ore from their property northeast
of Nina, to the smelter at Kennett,
California. In the same section SUI

vada Standard Copper Company. is
reconstructing the roads to the prop
erty which were destroyed short
time ago by a cloudburst, prepara-
tory to a campaign OF development OF
the company's holdings. Near by
Matt Hansen is driving long tunnel
under contract on the SmokedUp
copper property, owned by Arthur
Merrill and associates OF Seattle,
Washington. The formation is TAX
ing on the charcter of ledge matter
and the indications are that the big
contact vein for which the bore is
being driven will be cut in the near
future. This will give a considerable
vertical depth and if the ore cross
cut by the tunnel holds up to the val

Chas. ~ Johnson, who is operat-
ing a copper property three miles
east of Nina formerly known as the
Jackson property, is making ship
ment of copper ore to the smelter.
He has been carrying on steady devel-
opment for quite a while and has
opened up considerable body OF
good commercial ore. Adjoining this
property and just across the canyon,
Floyd Richards is running a tunnel
on his property to cut copper ledge

face The drive is now in ledge mat

new LIFE ON THE COMSTOCK LODE

The reports from the mines of
the Comstock show no change
in the general situation in the
deep levels, except that there is a
steady forging ahead of the work of
prospecting and development, and
conditions everywhere continue to re-
main of very encouraging nature.
The Ophir and Con. Virginia are at
work nthe 200 level winze, repairing
and placing the winze in good condi-
ton from the $500 to the 200 level,
and it will soon be possible to place
the prospecting under way on the
200 level, where important Develop
ments are confidently looked forward
to. The Ophir is exploring the vein in
the southwest drift on the 25G0 level,
and with conditions remaining about
the same as last reported. At the
Central tunnel, repairing the 25O-foot
level continues, and excellent head
ay is being made. Sampling con-
tinues, and the results bear out the
old reports as to the location of ore
bodies, and the assays are favorable.

of the deposits known to exist on this
