MINE INVESTMENTS

As mining is the principal industry of the state, it should be considered and studied by every business man and business organization. Most ev- cry one knows there is such an in- dustry as mining farther than that few have investigated.
 There are in the state 25 listed mines that SO far have paid $136,- 7S9,127 in dividends.
 Eleven mines in the state paid dur ing the first six months of this year $13,363, ,533 and what should vitally interest the people of this state is how much of these enormous profits are staying in the state. There is but one way to keep the profits of any industry in the state. and that Is to have those industries owned by citizens of the state.
 Most people have sometime or other
 bought few shares of mining stock
 only to be disappointed and set min- ing down as strictly a gamble. and I good thing to let alone. Hence i would be well to make a comparison between mine investments and in. vestments in other lines.
 Real estate is probably the lint
 that receives the most attention. On' | often hears the remark There i
 more money lost in mining than il | made" but would not this term b.
 just as fitting for real estate as min | ing investments?"
 For instance wouldn't you like t | have in cash the difference betweel what has been paid for Maricopi | ounty real estate, both city am county and what you can buy 1t fO l today?

veloped yet and hardly scratched cov-- ering an area several miles wide and extending from Tan Pass to Cunning ham Pass, the naturalization appear ing to center in the basin between Tank Pass and Cottonwood Pass and also extending westward three miles to the Glory Hole and Griffin proper ties. Even the Glory Hole itself is pre- dicted by many to make a big copper mine with depth, on account of it's im- mense iron and quartz surface show ings, similar in character to those on the Cobrita but mary times larger; the Glory Hole ledge also occurring on the contact of an immense diabase or andesite dike, the largest in the dis trict, and already showing some cop per strain and carbonate ores in the iron capping. The Griffin property also has an immense iron outcrop, | similar to the one showing on the Big | Black Bonanza where the limestone is 1 cut by one of the iron lodges parallel i ing the Cobrita ledge.
 | Now that the Cobrita has proven the existence of high grade shipping ores at shallow depths beneath the iron and quartz croppings, it is probable that the coming months will see a great deal of prospecting and development work done on the many parallel lodges of the district, which is a veritable network
 of dikes and ledges, practically all of
 them having the same general north
 west southeast strike and dipping | nearly vertical and most of them
 showing the same surface indications
 and conditions. A great many new
 claims have already been located ana
 probably all the open ground on these
 dikes will be taken up in the nex
 thirty days, now that their value anC naturalization has been shown. Nearly
 all the copper ores of the district carry good gold values. ranging from a few
 dollars to over hundred, with som,

YAvAPAl PROPERTIES By William p. De Wolf

PRESCOTT, Aug. 26.-W. S. Hum- bert, general manager of the Green Monster Mining company, is authority for the statement that the corporation is owner of the largest mineral bearing estate in the famous Jerome copper district. This agreeable state of af- fairs has been brought about by dis counting the payments on the thirty two patented claims held under option and their taking over in fee simple. The deal for the acreage was closed few days ago and, with the thirty eight claims hitherto owned, gives the Green Monster company absolute title to sixty eight claims situated in the richest copper bearing section of Va vapai county, and adjoining the we'll known Copper Chief mine In setting forth the details of the transaction to your representative, MT. Humbert said:
 "The taking over of the thirty-two claims formerly controlled by the Green Monster company under options which provided for payments extend ing over period of four years, was the outcome of careful consideration on the part Of the directorate and is in line with our plans for the future develop ment of the property. The optioned ground is worth much more than the price paid. and by adding it to our other acreage the company has been greatly strengthened as title to all of our holdings is now intact and under absolute control of the corporation Then, again, the exercising of our right to take up the options in advance of the due-date will work no hard ship on the management of the com pany has additional funds sufficient to carry out the development work planned.
 Paid About $1oo,ooO
 The management of the company is composed of able business men several of whom are miners and bankers of wide experience, and it is inconceivable that the amount of money necessary to take up the options-approxima $100,0 ,000-would have been paid out un- less the claims were worth consider ably more than the purchase price; which was, of course much less than 1t would have been had the payments been strung out over a term of four years. The stockholders of the com pany are to be congratulated upon this action of the directors, and also upon the probability of valuable develop ments on the optioned ground recently bought and on other portions of the estate.
 Several units of the machinery plant which is to be installed at the collar of the deep-working shaft on the Green Monster property have arrived and the remainder are on the way Tn,

you would have to wait for change of times or conditions.
 In the line of new industries what percentage can you point to that have proven success. Cement works, tile factories, irrigating propo sitions and etc? Industries of this kind are not usually one man propo- sitions and are promoted by corporal tions and you say they are poorly organized or misrnanaged. The land was there, the water is there, and if the scheme was carried out it would be q success and some day it will be completed So also will many of the mines that have been mismanaged be eventually developed into paying properties.
 There is no foundation for the statement that mining is a gamble more than any other line.
 i There are too many men who have 1 trained themselves in the profession i that Nre making success and min l ing requires as great degree of in 1 telligence, experience and executive ability as any othr line. It is true ] that there has been much wild cat ing" and it became necessary for cor.

the time has come when much local brains and capital will be directed to this line of investment. It will be the same old story, there will be few payers developed and few fortunes made.
 There will be work done on worth less claims and the money expended
 lost There will be a start made on
 some good properties which for some
 eason or other will not be finished
 by the company or parties handling them.
 The investor must use his own judg- ment on the property-the manage ment-and the plans upon which they are working.
 For large capital tnat can afford a thorough investigation it is simple and few mistakes are made, but with the small investor it is different. We have our business organizations | they know what it would mean to have a few paying mines in the county owned in whole, or even in part, by | citizens of the county. It would mear | more business blocks, more homes an( l greater real estate values. It would 1 mean a great impetus to many othe | lines. If these business institutions would create a mining department the. | could greatly foster and encourage tn
 mining industry and to a large exten guide and protect the small investo
 many of whom will be members o those organizations.

This department is under the di- rsction of Mir. w. E. Deity, the we'll known mining engineer, who will carefully serutinize all mat tsrs relating to mining in order that only reliable information re- sardins legitimate enterprises shall find a place here.
 The Republican would be pleas. cd to receive information from any part of the state regarding the development of the mining in- dusrry. All communications should Do addressed: Mining Department Arizona Republican.
