Mesa Men in Mininu

The Shill Mining company's group of
mining claims are known in the district
where situated as the Mesa group of
in Yavapai county about one mile from
the Humboldt smelter
Al the money that has been expended
on the enterprise for development has
been furnished h. Mesa residents and
business men. There are no paid of
ficers of the company, and all money
subscribed has been put into actual
work upon the claims.
The surface groupings are quartz
with copper carbonates and iron OK
;des, but at shallow depth copper sui
phldeG make their appearance. and at
log feet in depth the ore turns into
solid sulphiGes.
There are two shafts on the property
about 800 feet apart one to depth of
200 feet and one to rs feet These
workings prove the vein to be from
to 20 feet in width and all the ore
carries very substantial values in gold.
silver and copper In the bottom OF
the 200 foot shaft is a 10 foot cross
crt. and is said to aggregate in values
SIS per ton. The general formation
is schist and quartzlte
There are several claims near this
property that have produced rich bod =
les of ore, the nearest ore being the
Lone Pine.
The property is most advantageously
situated near a railroad and smelter
and with sufficient water supply for
NJ. purposes
The Mesa men have great faith in
their holdings and if grit and vigor
counts Tor anything there is every ev-
!dence that they will be successful in
their legitimate undertaking.

ment at Ottawa. Canada. March 25

come to be the slogan of many prouuc-
ers and metal specialists, Las not, per-
haps, much significance. Nevertheless
the advance in silver. which has contin-
ued for weeks is of extreme importance
in that it is highly probable that great
and FAR reaching changes in the mon
etary world will result. Authorities
say that silver will replace gold as the
MONETARY standard of Europe for %
wears after the war. Aside from this
il IS very evident that an immediate re-
suit will be a strong movement in the
stocks Of silver producing mines in
this country.
The causes for this advance in price
of the white metal are very evident and
can al be summed up in the law of
supply and demand. When the war
| first broke out the hostile nations i'm
| mediately began to hoard gold and
within 4 very short time the enormous
| gold coinage Of Europe had heen prac-
J tically withdrawn from circulation.
Most of the warning nations merely APP
pealed to the patriotism of the people
pose law enforcing the people to give
up thcir gold for paper. Gold was
needed in enormous quantities both to
stabilize exchange ami for purchases
, in neutral countries European gold
was soon tied up and the mines have
since been working industriously turn
ing ont silver coins and even Japan has
| assisted by coming silver for Russia
These who predict dollar an ounce
silver are not talking wildly for thu
price will PROBABLY continue upwards
The worlds supply is not increasing t.
a sufficient extent to meet this Geman'
and, although the mines in this ant
otter neutral countries are working a
capacity to take advantage of the de
mand ard the prevailing high price.
there will probably be a scarcity an,
incidental high prices for many year!
to come.

Copper

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturdays
Boston Commercial will say:
There is rothng in this situation
that should lead anyone to expect that
the price OF copper will decline. The
general business activity that makes
for the full employment of labor calls
fer large consumption of copper. and
TIC activities at Nerdun and along
other fronts in Europe furnish conclus
i've proof that the consumption of this
metal in war Uses IS being maintained
at least, and probably is increasing.
\ while back the opinion was held
quite generally that the price of copper
would decline precipitately after the
termination of the European war. The
leading authorities are now viewing the
outlook frcm q different standpoint.
They have become impressed with the
belief that a big market will exist for
all raw materials for a considerable
period following the termination of the
/ war and that copper will sell at rela
lively high prices for several years to
come.

, publican office. A Want Ad. will see

FLAGSTAFF, (AriZ.) June 3.-lm-
portant mining development is to be
started soon in a new field, northeast
of Flagstaff, near the junction of the
Colorado and Little Colorado CANYONS.
where it is believed there exists a great
deposit of copper ore. AS little work
has been done. drilling is to be resorted
to, an easy task in the limestone and
sandstone Gaping of the canyon re-
gion.
The property now under considera-
ticn is known as the White Mesa ana
consists of thirty claims, held for five
years by company headed by the
Rabbit Brothers of Flagstaff with
whom also is associated Harry Jacoby'
Of Los Angeles
Robert Mitchell, the well-known Los
Angeles mining man, now manager OF
the Cobriza mines in Sonora, near No
gales, lately led an investigating party
to the mines, which are said to have
been taken over under a 5000, 900 bond.
