As soon as the country is open and examinations can be made the rush will begin. The successes being made is the induccment and capital for practical mining is seek ing the opportunity which is so mani fest in this section; the situation can not be overdrawn and conditions can not be exaggerated from the temper of the many to come and make big investments"

 POPULAR IN EAST
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Returning few days ago from
 New York City, on mining and legal business, Attorney T. c. Norris stat ed yesterday that stampede in sem timent was prevailing in investment circles toward Yavapai copper mines, and no other field in the Southwest was attracting as much interest. The reason therefor had as a base the fame of the Little Daisy at Jerome, the Blue Bell coming prominently to the front, and general determinations made in the field at large contiguous to Prescott. "In addition to vast sums poured into this county during 1916, I confidently expect more in 1917: Yavapai is enjoying healthy name in mining circles of the East, and the coming year will see larger operations and more capital coming in than could be reasonably antici- pated,' he concluded.
