ATTENTION, BEAN GROWERS !

To OUR PATRONS

Arrangements have been completed
to have DR.. B. J. Howard, Microscopic

ing ton, present, and deliver a talk on

Parties desiring to attend the meet
ing may call up the elevator where full
information will gladly be given.

ANOTHER GOLD MINE
 MAY BE OPENED IN
 THE JEROME DISTRICT

l JEROME. Dec. 16.-Within 90 days the ten-stamp mill at the old Etta mine. nine miles south of Jerome. will be turning out sold bullion, if the new owners, Allen E. Boyce and Bert B. | Bloom, carry out their present plans. The Etta has already yielded over S500.000 in gold and can be easily placed on producing basis once more, i for it has 100000 tons of ore in sight. according to an engineer who was on the ground last year.
 That the Etta has lain idle for years | is due simply to the fact that it is in a copper country. Had it been in a reorganized gold district it would have been revived long ago.
 | But it may be a big copper mine al ] that. It became sleeper" because the gold contents. which averaged s60 ] a ton near the surface had dwindled i down to a mere s20 and copper was coming in. The Etta. like the Copper Chief and other properties in the south end of the district, is a gold mine near the surface but turns to copper at depth.
 Senator W. A. Clark and Joseph L. Circus were the first operators of the Etta They freighted the ore ten miles to the Verde river. They did not mill it on the ground because of a shortage of water. Since then, how ever. plenty of water for milling pur- ;,a o;,, shaft, which is down only 240 feet
 Later the Etta was worked by Joe Clements, and again by Billy Van derbilt and man named Shirley. from Prescott. Vanderbilt and Shirley wore overalls when they took hold of the Etta and did most of the work themselves until they began to market bullion. When they left they went direct to the Waldorf-Astoria and be- gan to float big mining deals on Wall street.
 Reduction processes in those days were not what they are now and the copper was regarded as a menace.
 Eventually the Etta fell into the 1 hands of E. H. Meeks of Prescott. He | has now turned it over to Mir. Bloom and to MT. Boyce. who is president of the Oatman Big Lode. superintendent of the Wickenburg Copper company and an experienced mining engineer. : He is now in Jerome making arrange ment for the organization of the Je- rome-Etta Mining company. The cap italization is to be s2.000.0O with the same number of shares. Only enough stock will be sold to rehabilitate the mill, which is in fair condition, and begin getting out the ore. After that
 the Etta will be on paying basis.
 MT. Boyce has blueprints of all the Etta workings and he is convinced
Bisbee daily review., 1916-12-17

that the possibilities have scarcely been touched. There is an immense quartz ledge through the property and Boyce thinks that a great deal more gold ore remains to be developed near the surface. Tome will tell how much copper lies below. but if the Etta is not a copper mine it still contains sev- eral neat fortunes in gold.
 Three patented and eleven unpatent ed claims are included in the Etta holdings.

LEADING ENGINEER
 FOR VERDE MONSTER

JEROME, Dec. 16.-Several import ant things are scheduled to happen at a meeting of the Verde Monster direc- tors next week and several more may happen.
 For one thing, one of the leading mining engineers of the United States is to be engaged to direct operations at the Verde Monster. At the same time he will be empowered to pur- chase all necessary machinery.
 A. M. Mcclellan, of Burns & Co.,. came to term with the engineer while in San Francisco last week. He has already been assured that the terms are satisfactory to the Verde Monster directors but the name of the engineer is not to be announced until contract is signed.
 It is quite possible that the price of Verde Monster stock will be raised by the directors at their next meeting. When the stock was offered at 25 cents it was with the idea of financing the company for development in hurry. This has now been practically accomplished. Every mail is bringing big orders for shares and most of the directors are opposed to selling any more at p cents. The excellent Dca- ton and indications of the Verde Monster make g cents almost a ridi- culous price.
 Work is progressing steadily at the claims under the direction of J. J. Pearls. A shaft was started this week.
