MAY TAKE OVER
CHRISTMAS MINE
Report Says Guggenheim
Interests Will Acquire
Property Soon.

Phoenix, Ariz, April 14.-Seemingly
well authenticated rumOrs are IN cir
Culation TO the effect that the Gug-
Scnheim interests are shortly 70 take
over the old Saddle Mountain copper
mine, at Christmas.
Since 1903 the Saddle Mountain, or
Christmas property. has been held by
the Development Company Of Amer
lea, the corporation which controls the
Congress, Ell Trio and Tombstone Con-
solidated mines and also the Sasco
smelter.
With an examining engineer Of the
Guggenheims, from Denver, Frank IL
Murphy, head OF the Development
Company Of America, recently spent
several days at Christmas. The en-
gineer made a thorough examination
OF the extensive workings and also
Of the surface shOwings. The engi-
neer left the state and now Murphy
has gone east. 1t is generally be-
tc close the deal TO- the sale Of the
Christmas.
Have Reason for Wishing Ii.
There is every reason why the Gug-
genheims should desire the Christmas
group. They own the smelter at Hay
cen, only II miles away. Usually one
OF the shelters two furnaces is SUI
ficient TO handle the concentrates from
the Ray Consolidated mill The
Christmas is the only other available
source OF a regular ore supply YET
developed in that section.
Until recently the Arizona Eastern
operated trains only as far as Win
kelmans a mile east Of Hayden. Now
L runs trains right up to the Christ
mas The problem OF transportation,
therefore, is eliminated. ore can be
shipped 10 Hayden, down grade all
the way, at minimum cost. Only a
little machinery, and practically no
development work is necessary to put
the Christmas mine in shape TO pro-
dGce enough self-fluXiing ore TO Keep
the other furnace Of the smelter busy.
