CHAMBER TO AID
 THE MINING CAMPAIGN
(From Thursdays Daily.)

In accordance with the mining pro gram submitted to the Chamber ol Commerce by Chairman LeRoy An derson. through the vice-chairman, A. C. Gilmore. active work is now being commenced on plan for bringing the monied investor and the prospect or and mine owner together.
 The plan. which mad its inception in 1913, is to get a short description of each prospect or property in Iavapai county and print the whole list in catalog form, then advertise in East ern papers of influence, asking that prospective investors send for a copy. Much of the success of the enterprise will depend largely on local CO., operation. When inc circular letters and blanks, containing list of ques- tions to be answered. were mailed out three years ago, a very good list of the mining properties and prospects was secured. But since that time, much development work has been done and it is tne purpose of the chamber to again request that a new outline be sent to the office. The questions desired to ne answered arc: name and address of owner; name Of property; number of claims, patented or unpatented; gold, silver. copper O, other valuable metals; distance from railroad; condition of wagon roads; supply of water; supply of timber; amount of work done; what improve ments; such other information as the party desires to give.
 It is difficult to estimate the amount of good which will come from this mining campaign. Although the Chamber of Commerce did not adver- .ise this mining list in Eastern papers 1ntil few months ago. when a smal! ad was run in one oi the mining jour. nals in Chicago. it is definitely known IS shown by the records in the cham 6er's office, that at least three men visited this field as result.
 When the list is completed, it will be published in pamphlet form, to- gether with a shorI description of mining conditions in Yavapai county, md possibly map of the county, showing the various mining districts. This is absolutely inc most unique plan of it's kind in .ne United States. n view Of the fact that there is no commission or expense connectec herewith. which calls for an expendi-
 ure from the mining prospector oi owner The estimated cost of this work. together with the advertising n the Eastern journals that such a list is available for :hc asking. is $500. The Chamber of Commerce has no axe to grind, no profit to seek, but il hopes by insistent application and by !he hearty and prompt cooperation i the prospectors and miners, to help Yavapai's principal industry. Neither las it any idea of lieing up properties IT otherwise effecting their possible ale through personal channels and ii lsks that if at any time hereafter
 when the owner thinks it desirable,
 notify them to remove his proper from the list.
 It is a known fact that now, wnen
 he investing public IS ripe and wid wake looking for opportunities, i,
 he time to press this campaign. Much attention is being give1 to Yavapai in the mining journals by articles sent hem by w. P De Wolf. and it is in inc with the mining campaign pro posed at the beginning of the new ear that this work is being done. All hose interested in this movement are -equested 10 see to it that they fill out the blank as outlined above and nail to Secretary, lavapai County { Chamber of Commerce. Prescott, Arizona, without delay. Extra blanks
 yill be given or mailed upon request.
