 superior" he explained, is sixty three miles south of Phoenix. on branch of the Arizona Eastern railway in pinal county. There were but fifty people there two months ago. Today there is d population of over 500 and more are going there continuously. at tracted by the magnificent probabil- ities that it is going to make the greatest camp in the state. The ore occurs in d continuous shoot in DOT phyry- filled cross Assures from the 800 to the 1900 level and probably deeper.
 Salt Lakers and former Salt Lakers are in there largely for surpassingly big money. Among these are Fred Flindt, who operated in Utah conspic uously several years ago. and il is due to his sagacious. discriminating min ing ability. furthermore. that the world sees Superiors camps hercu- lean copper resources now developing rapidly
 Until Superior came into the spot light. because of the gigantic magni- tude of its discoveries. Miami Globe, BiShee Chloride and other less known districts had each respectively enjoyed the glory of being the big noise in . that commonwealth Previously the world had supposed that all the cop per and other mining wealVhh in the world had supposed that all the cop per and other mining wealth in the mountains of Arizona existed in Jerome camp.
 And Jerome was the big noise in i Arizona for years only because of mis- conceptions entertained by q lot of ! people Everybody thought that form | CT Senator Clark had all the copper , in or around Jerome in his United 1 Verde mine. and engineers had turned down everything else in that vicinity
 Soon after Jim Douglas took hold : of the United Verde Extension he re- moved the publics Illusions on this i subject United Verde Extension shares had been floated at 25 cents l and dropped to 10 cents and weren' [ much thought of even at this low valu ation Douglas sunk the shaft from the 900 to the HOO level and uncov- cred the largest body of high grade copper ore ever encountered in Jerome or anywhere else. Then United Verde Extension stock jumped to s45 and k now selling at S42.
 Then Fred Flindt directed the at tcntion of the late George Gum of
 
 to the Magma group. where the camp of Superior is now the big noise Gum took it over 1t has been de veloped. and a month ago on the 15e0- foot level there was opened on this property thirty five feet of II per cent copper for length of ninety seven feet The stock jumped suddenly in New York to S60 share and reached to s45
 Mine values had increased from per cent over width of six feet on the 900 level G0d per cent on a
 width of fifteen feet oH the 1O0O-foot level.
 Maemas magnificent showing is what started the stampede for Su- perior
 The Interloper group of patented i claims there in which 1 am interested lies between and adjacent to the hold ings of the Magma Copper company and the Dagss group. which has beer purchased by Jim Douglas. who made that tremendous strike in United Verde Extension. The Queen Copper company. controlled by q Scotch syn dicate. has property adjoining and or both sides of the InterlOper group. Drilling with churn drills and work by shaft is now being pushed on all the properties adjoining the Inter loper group. and Arizona people are buying the stocks of companies in this camp in big blocks IL is truly the veritable big noise in that stat, now"
