Other Copper Properties
Other copper properties in Yavapai
county which are finding more than
passing favor with practical mining
men are the Commercial, the Iona
Prieta and the Copper Hill, a trio of
high grade producers of the Copper
Basin section. The Commercial mine
is outputting an average of 100 tons of
ore per day without drawing appre-
ciably on it's ore reserves, but is expert
encing considerable difficulty in mar
keting it's product, owing to the over
crowded condition of all the copper
sme1ters in Arizona
A very promising body of chalcopy-
rite ore is being developed in the Iona
Prieta mine. 1t presents unmistakable
indications of permanency and carries
higher copper content. Reports are
current that Iona Prieta shares are
soon to be listed on the New York and
Boston curbs.
Several shipments of copper oxides
have of late been made to local smelter
from the Copper Hill mine. The ore
body is quite extensive and appears to
be becoming more so as DEVELOPMENT
work progresses. Mr.. E. S. Clark of
Prescott, former states attorney, and
John j. Jackson of Prescott are the
owners of the property The Copper
Hill is one of the most promising par
TALLY developed copper mines in va
vapai county.
Local investors Pleased
In connection with local mines and
mining affairs it is not amiss to state
that Prescott holders of the shares of
the United Western Mines company of
Oatman are jubilant over the recent
discovery of seven feet of ore at
depth of 500 feet in that property. Lo-
cal holders of United Western have
held on to their stock throughout the
periods of it's price fluctuations and are
now about to reap the reward due to
their confidence in the property.
