VISIT PARKER
AN EXCURSION GIVEN BY B. L.
VAUGHN, A REAL LIVE WIRE.
WAS HUGE SUCCESS-vISIT-
ORS NOW PARKER BOOSTERS.


professional men visited Parker last
Sunday in a special Pullman car,
and after visiting the property of the
Arizona-McGinnis Copper company
and seeing the thousands of acres of
rich agricultural land in Parker val
ley, every man in the party went
away with the firm conviction that
Parker was the coming metropolis
of western Arizona.
Hon. D. c. Reed, ex-mayor of San
Diego, made the statement that with
in a few years Parker and vicinity
would undoubtedly boast of a pOpu-
lation of over 10000 people, basing
his judgment and prediction upon
the uneQualed mineral and agricul-
tural resources of the Great Parker
Country.
Quite a number of the party are
stockholders in the Arizona -McGin-
mis-, and the excursion to visit the
property was given by B. L. Vaughn,
president and general manager of
the company, in celebration of his
birthday anniversary and his sue
cessful financing of the property.
About $3.50 Sunday morning
eight autos were ready to take the
party to the company's property. ac-
companied by number of local busi-
ness men. Arriving at the mine the
city visitors climbed the steep trail
leading to the top of the mountain,
where extensive trenching has ex-
posed large quantities of high-grade
ore.
The showing made at this point
far surpassed anything expected by
the visitors. An aerial tramWay is
now being completed which is de-
signed to transport the ore from the
mountain top down to the road, a
distance of about 1000 feet. Three
trucks will arrive this week from
the coast to haul ore from the COM
pany's GLORY Hole"
After the Glory Hole was given a
thorough examination by the party
the new shaft and tunnel were Wis
tied The tunnel is now in a dis
tance of over 100 feet, and will cut
the big ore bodies exposed on the top
of the hill at a considerable depth

in about thirty feet.
The new working shaft rs down
about 70 feet. and good progress is
being made in sinking When it is
considered that everything accom-
plished at the Arizona McGinnis has
been done during the past four
months, visitor to the property will
marvel at the record of achievement
made in that short period of time.
B. l.. Vaughn, the president and
