GEORGE GRAHAM RICE
 Is SUBSTANTIATED BY
 NEWSPAPERS OF UTAH


 George Graham Rice was recently the target for an anonymous attack in the form of circulars sent broadcast throughout the country. It these cir culars it was alleged that the re ported strike of silver-lead ore in the Emma properties at Alta, near Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, was untrue and that no ore had been encountered.
 This attack was promptly met by telegraphic statements from the Salt Lake newspapers and from prominent engineers absolutely confirming all that Mir. Rice had claimed in his pub lication, the Industrial and Mining Age.
 While the circulars at first succeed ed, the final result was a complete vic tory for George Graham Rice. The stock of the Old Emma Leasing Co.,, which hold lease on the property of the Old Emma Mines company, was depressed from 60 cents to AS, but when Rice published his reports from mining engineers and geologists the stock went up to 86 cents on the Curb, everybody rushing to buy to cover their short sales.
 The same result happened to Emma Copper company, which owns a large developed acreage practically sur rounding the preceding property. From $2.5O a share it fell below $2.OO and then went up to S3.40 a share.
 Old Emma Leasing was first sold to the public at 10A cents a share and Emma Copper around 25 cents share, so that original purchasers have al ready realized splendid profits.
 A new company has been organized to take over both the Old Emma and the Emma Copper companies and their entire holdings. The stock of the new company will be placed on the market within a few days.
 In every property which George Graham Rice has taken over, only the best expert advice and the very high est methods of development and ex- ploitation have been employed, as is pointed out by a writer in the New York Morning Telegraph, which ac- counts in the writer's opinion, for the marvellous "come back" staged by that financial genius.
 William Barret Ridgely, who re- gently visited Kingman in his capacity of President of Arizona Copperfelds, Inc, is also President of the Emma Copper company.
 c. s. Herzig, one of the most high ly regarded mining engineers in the country, is in actual charge of the work on Emma Copper, which is real ly a silver and lead property. MT. Herzig is also acting in the same capacity for the Old Emma Leasing company. His able coadjutor in both these properties has been Geologist J. J. Beeson. MT. Beeson is a grad uate of Stanford University and for about one year was with that coterie of brilliant engineers who so thoroughly sampled and worked out the geological and metallurgical prob lems of Jackling's famous Utah Cop per company's holdings in Bingham Canyon, Utah.
 It was entirely under Messrs. Her gigs and Beeson's direction that the continuation of the famous faulted bonanza orebody of Old Emma, lost for over 40 years, was only recently located through diamond drilling directed with such scientific precision that it bordered on the uncanny.
 By a fortunate coincidence MT. Herzig will also direct the affairs of the property of the Arizona Copper fields, Inc, situated in the Mineral Park quadrangle about 20 miles north of Kingman.
 The monumental work in Utah has inadvertently delayed the arrival of Mir. Herzig in Mohave County but it is now about certain that he will be here in early November, It is not unlikely that Geologist Beeson may accompany him and cooperate 1T initial developments of the Arizona Copperfelds, Inc. Both these mer rank among the best practical mining and geological experts of America.
