QUEEN CREEK COPPER
 WOULD DUPLICATE MAGMA'S SUCCESS
Two Great Fissure Veins Like Those in Recently Proven Big Mine Run Through Their Property.

PHOENIX, Nov. 25.-One day dur ing the year 1902 William Windsor, an old time prospector of the Pioneer district, located four claims on the great limestone bed which runs to the north and south in that region, faulted through with great intrusions of DOT phyry carrying wonderful values in copper, gold and silver ores. These claims of Windsor's were located across the deep canyon on Queen creek which cut through the vast heights of Apache Leap at that point, and were close to the already proven mine of the Lake Superior and Ari- zona Mining company. The country thereabout was in an undeveloped state, the great Magma ore deposits had not been discovered, but the old pioneer had faith in his property and year by year went steadily ahead with his assessment work and the slow de- velopment of bis claims.
 Later in the year 1905. Jim Neary, at that time foreman of the L. s. and A. mine, also located a number of claims, six and one-half in all, imme- diately along side of the holdings of Windsor. Neary, who was also an ol0 timer in the district and who knows the country thereabout foot by foot, also had faith in the future of the dis trict, and secure in his faith held tenaciously onto his prospects, also ac- 1af ,I, ,a claims from one Ruben Harkey.
 These twelve and one-half claims lying directly on the great bed of limestone which runs through the dis trict now comprise the holdings of the newly formed Queen Creek Copper company, which under the able direc , ton of Jim Neary, original locator, former foreman of the L. $. & A. mine and the man whose faith, as superin- tendent of the Magma mine later, made possible the existence of that great property today, is expected to rank in the near future as one of the great mines of the district.
 Running through these claims at an angle of forty-fve degrees to the pitch of the limestone, quartsite and liabege are two of the great Assure veins of the same character on which the Mag ma mine has developed its present great body. These veins, which lie adjacent to one another at distance of about sixty feet apart are to be at once developed by the company and by the man who made the Magma mine what it is today.
 James Weary, in the face of obsta- cles and Encouragement, firm in his belief in the country, as superintend- ent of the Manga continued the task of determining a real body of com mercial ore along that great Assure vein until, at a depth of $50 feet, ore in paying quantities was struck The results are now, history. James Neary says he has every reason to expect the same results from other Assure veins running through the great north and south deposits as occurred in the 1 Magma. The men behind Neary have i the same faith and hope, and in the i future the Queen Copper company
 may be as famous by word as the
 name of Magma is today, spelling sue
 cess and the tale of a wonderful body
 of high grade ore
 The Magma has proved that the cop
 per ores lie at great depth in the Pfo-
 neer district. It will be necessary to
 sink shafts on the Assure veins in the | district to a depth of over 500 feet be i fore results may be obtained. The | Queen Creek Copper company with [ their two great Assure veins are pre-
 pairing to do this and Neary, with his
 wide experience in the district is the
 man who may be relied upon to carry
 the project to success, if success there
 will be.
 Behind the new company are men of
 reputation and standing in the mining | world. Men who will back their faith
