HUMbERT MADE MANAGER OF
 COMPANY
BIOLOGIST IS EXPECTED TO FURNISH SURVEY OF GREEN MONSTER PROP ERTY IN 2 WEEKS.
(From Thursdays Daily.l

The geological survey of the big, gest mining gamble in Northern Ari' zona, the Green Monster property, IS well under way and the geologist in charge is expected to submit his final report to the board of directors with in the next two weeks, according to w s. Humbert, of Phoenix, secretary and general manager of the Green Monster company, who arrived in Prescott yesterday.
 Upon this report and the action talk en following its receipt by the mining committee of the company, the eyes of the financial and mining world will be glued, eagerly watching for the wonderful developments that are expected to follow the "milea- minute" financing of the property during the last two weeks.
 Green Monster is nothing but a gamble" said Humbert last night. ''We do not promise that there is a single pound of ore on our claims. To all who have purchased or sought to purchase stock, we have guaranteed only that every dollar received will be used in an honest and intelligent effort to develop the huge copper de posits that we, ourselves, believe to be on our property.
 "The demand for Green Monster stock has been marvellous. I nave seen mines financed in a short time, but I have never seen anything that comes anywhere equalli1g the rapid ity with which the Green Monster stock was taken up. We are over subscribed just 100000 shares. and one of the hardest tasks confronting us is that of cutting down the re- quests for stock, and distributing what we have proportionately among those who nave subscribed. The list will be checked up and we hope to be able to deliver the stock in very short time.
 "As soon as the geologist finishes his work, we will know where to start operations. The first work will be the construction of roads. This will
  stallation of machinery. The geolo- gist has been instructed to take his time. and to spare neither money nor effort to make a complete and reliable survey of the property. We can not say positively what is underneath our ground. For that reason we issued the stock only in blocks of 1000 shares each. We did not want the orphans and widows to invest their life-savings in Green Monster. It is a gamble. and we only ask those who are willing to take chance in gam blc to buy the stock"
 At a meeting of the board of di- rectors Of the Green Monster com pany at Jerome Tuesday night. Lc- Roy Anderson resigned as secretary of the company. He will continue as general counsel and attorney and asI a member of the board of directors. Humbert was elected to fill the posi- ton of secretary and was named gen eral manager Of the company.
 Anderson has been enthusiastic enough over Green Monster for weeks but after his visit to the prop erty Tuesday and his attendance al the meeting of the board of directors. his enthusiasm knew no bounds when he returned to Prescott yesterday.
 "Green Monster has the biggest bunch of orc I have ever secn," hcI said 'T think Green Monster stock will be worth from S4 to S6 within a few months. The stock pool will not be dissolved for 60 or % days, as WIG do not want Green Monster bought only for purposes of speculation. We are going to develop the property with every dollar received.
 "We have the best management and talent of any mining company in Ari- zona. When you consider that such men as Will l.. Clark, Dave Morgan, Neill Bailey, Tally. Hopkins, Taylor, Humbert and Drake are associated with our property. it cal be seen that WIG are going to start out with men in charge of the work who know what they are doing, and are going to do their best.
 "The list of subscribers to Green Monster stock resembles a list of the leading bank directors of the country. From every part of the United States certified checks nave been pouring in ever since the announcement that the stock would be issued. It has been positively the most remarkable sub scription l have ever seen or heard Of and now. that the company is f-I nanced, it is going to go ahead and find out whether or not Green Mon ster has the richest mineral deposits in the northern part of the State"
