ing District The Colorado river is
about two miles northwest of the
mines, and a half-century or more
ago provided the pioneer miners with
their only means Of transporting ore.
Flat boats Or crude barges were con-
structed at Needles, fioated down the
river to landing near the property,
loaded with ore sacks packed down
from the hills on burros, and the voy-
age continued to Yuma, where the
barges were sold or abandoned and
the ore reshipped on "wind-jam-
mers" to smelters at San Francisco
or in Europe
The old-time miners took in all
several thousand tons Of h-grade
ore from the Eagles Nest and Grey
Eagle workings, and the narrow tun-
nels and irregular shafts they left
are perhaps first among the points
of interest to the laymaE visiting the
property. No authentic data has
been found as to the date of the ear
liest work on the property. The ruins
of several old stone buildings were
on the ground in 1S49, when the
first white man of which there is rec
ord stumbled upon the Eagles Nest
lode. 1t has been stated that the old
padres Jesuit priests who fin
ally settled in California and built
their missions there-discovered and
worked the property. But a few
weeks ago superintendent Suther-
land climbed to a ledge high up in
one Of the old Slopes in what is re-
garded as the original workings and
there found a rusted sledge, a crude
drill or two and a crumbling black

EMPIRE ARIZONA CONSOLIDATED COPPER COMPANY
Work Proving Empire Be One Of the Big Mines of Western Arizona

With more than 10000 feet of de
velopment work all showing
ore; with a vertical shaft
being sunk to 1000 feet on
the rich Eagles Nest lode as rap
idly as power drills, dynamite and
human energy can accomplish it; with
more than $4,000 worth of good
roads, and new machinery aggregat-
ing like sum enroute to or on the
property, stockholders of the Empire
Arizona Consolidated Copper COM
pany have every reason to be satisfied
with the prospects for a rosy-hued
future.
The Empire property, worked in
termittantly for decades by leasOrs
and "chloriders" who were content
to sack and ship a few thousand dol
lars worth of high-grade ore occa-
sionaly, has at last come into it's own.
Through a consolidation of interests
recently effected between the owners
of the property and the directors Of
a company which secured the mine
on lease and bond about thirteen
months ago, a reorganization, which
has made available more than suffi-
cient capital for development and
mining purposes, has been accom-
plished.
With this money Superintendent
Sutherland is developing the
Empire in d manner calculated to
put the property on dividend
paying basis within a year. In
highgrade, miners working on
the property are Systematically de-
veloping the first big mine in the dis
trict
Through the reorganization and
the additional capital made available
it will no longer be necessary to re-
ly to a considerable extent on the re-
ceipts from ore shipments to carry
on mining operations. Consequently
it is the plan Of the management to
concentrate activities on developing
a tonnage and blocking out ore suffi-
cient to warrant the construction of
a railroad to the property before at
tempting any large shipments.
That the company has been assured
of railroad to the property as soon
as developments warrant has long
been known. A survey made some
time ago proved that with compare
lively little difficulty a railroad could
be built to the property considerably
shorter than the present twelve miles

byproduct are gold and silver, and
as a result of the increased copper
output the production of gold from
copper ores in most counties was
naturally greater and increased from
$4,166,025 in 1915 to approximately
$4,427, 900 in 1915, an increase of
over per cent.
The production of silver from the
mines increased from 5,649,020
ounces in 1915 to record output Of
about 6,S23,O0O ounces in 1916. AS
the market price was much higher
the value increased from $2,S64,05
to nearly $4,490,00O, an increase of
nearly 81 per cent in value. There
was no great change in the prOduc-
tiOn from the Commonwealth prop
erty which is principally a silver
producer, so the increase is to be
credited largely to the remarkable
output Of copper ore.
Arizona's nearest competitor was
Montana with a production of 353,-
547,696 pounds of copper, while
Michigan is third with 269,SS8,710
pounds, consequently Arizona pro-
duced more copper in 1916 than
Montana and Michigan combined
which is taking quite a hike when it
is remembered that the latter states
formerly each held the lead.

gold ore The new two-compart-
ment shaft on the Eagles
Nest is down more than 100 feet with
men working in two shifts sinking
at the rate of more than 100 feet per
month, Notwithstanding the delay in
the arrival of the 6O-h p. hoist
and the air-compressor equipment.
Three large parallel veins and nu-
merous smaller ones occur on the
property. Approaching from the riv-
er the first ore encountered is the
Grey Eagle vein. AS in the other
large veins this is characterized by
outcrops of irregularly shaped bodies
of iron oxide with copper values free
ly showing. This ore is readily trace.
able for several thousand feet on the
Grey Eagle group by following the
outcrops.
An adit has been driven on this
vein for about $50 feet showing
copper-gold ore. The iron is heavy
hematite, carrying from 50 to So in
gold. The copper occurs in the form
of oxides and carbonates. One fea-
ture OF the veins on the Empire is
the tendency of the ore to make into
big chambers.
North of the mouth of the tunnel
a shaft has been sunk on the same
vein, and at depth of about 100 feet
there is feet Of ore assaying about
Is per cent copper. The whole hill
is a network of tunnels and shallow
shafts with perhaps more than 5000
feet of underground workings.
East of the Grey Eagle is the Dou-
BILE Eagle vein, which outcrops at
the foot of a hill and can be traced
1000 feet, by various surface out
crops. A tunnel about 100 feet in
length has been driven on this vein,
which carries fair gold values and
large quantities of commercial grade
copper ore. Several other tunnels,
shafts and cuts have opened this vein
in other places and some high-grade
ore has been shipped from it.
The most extensively mined vein
of the three is the Eagles Nest. An
adit 375 feet in length is driven on
the ore and three big swells, or en-
riched chambers have been stopped to
the surface, and in one, a 40-foot
winze has been sunk. Most of this
work was done in a crude manner by
early-day miners, and one 60-foot
incline shaft sunk by them on 8
foot streak Of 80 per cent copper ore
has caved in. Mr.. Sutherland, from
the 1OO-foot level in the new shaft

In 1907 Arizona forged ahead of
Montana as the greatest copper pro-
ducer. Since that time she has been
sending out greater and greater guam
titles OF copper until at present she
is producing about IS per cent of the
copper mined in the United States.
The metal output from mines in
Arizona in 1916 had record total
value of nearly 2O3, 100000 compar-
ed with $90,S06,346 for 1915, ac-
cOrding to the estimate of Victor c.
Heikes, of the United States Geolo-
gicl Survey, Department of the In
terror. The notable output of cop
per and the high prices of metals
both assisted in this increase of 1913
per cent
is copper, the mine output of which
surpassed all previous records and
estimates, as it increased from 49,
972,29 pounds in 1915 to approx
mately 693, 100000 pounds in 1916
The value of the output, on account
OF the unusual market, increased
from $50, ,495,1 to nearly $780,
900, 900. The increase of 1875 per
cent in the value of copper alone
in Arizona was therefore more than
the value of the total output of the
state in the previous year. All of
the smelling plants of the state were
worked at full capacity and made
much greater shipments of copper
bullion.

powder can which bore the date of
1859.
Originally access to the property
was had by poor wagon road which
wended it's tOrtuous way along the
river for about ten miles and then
turned sharply up the canyon, down
which the pioneer miners had fol-
lowed their burros. Water was
hauled to the camp from
the river. The camp consist
ed of a few weather-b beaten, wind
torn tents, a galvanized iron lean-to
and little else.
The record of accomplishment
made by the Empire company in the
year that followed is typical of the
progressive spirit Of present-day
Western Arizona. A road was badly
needed 1t was built The camp was
an imposibility. 1t was replaced with
one that for permanancy, comfort
and ideal location is perhaps without
a pumping plant installed and today
each set of quarters is equipped with
modern lavatories, sheWor baths, hot
and cold water, and the camp has the
only up-to-date sewerage system
within a radius Of a days journey by
automobile. A telephone connection
with Parker has been recently made.
The rich ore bodies underlying the
property had been developed by hand
in more or less of a haphaZard man
ner with numerous shallow shafts,

INVESTOR GETS
BIG PROFITS
IN MINING
MINING STOCKS ARE ENJOYING
GREATER DEMAND THAN
EVER BEFORE IN FINANCIAL
HIST0RY-SMALL INVESTOR
IS BACKING MINES.

A kept financial press did it's ut
most to keep investors away from
mining shares so that their savings
would be used in the purchase of low
interest bearing mortgage bonds.
Every selfish scheme known to the
financial underworld was employed
to blacken mining investments and
keep the small investor satisfied with
the small interest payments of saw
ings banks and bond issues. But
the small investor was not satisfied
with his lot and when he started an
investigation on his own account he
found that the mines were paying
dividends OF 10, 20, and 100 per
cent and even higher
Mining stocks are now enjoying
a greater demand than ever before
in our financial history. Railroad
stocks on the big New York ex-
change have taken a back seat as
compared with the popularity of
ing the gold, silver, copper, lead and
other metal producers of Arizona are
paying such high rate of dividends
that shares of companies in other
lines of endeavor have lost their
charm.
1t should always be remembered
that every mine was once prospect.
But faint heart never won fair lady
nor has the ''piker" ever made a
fortune in mining. Cripple Creek
in 1901 was cow pasture. Many
producing mines in Arizona would
still be undiscovered if few ven
turesome spirits had not called the
attention of investors to these op-
portunities. 1t took several years
work and the expenditure of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to make
the United Verde Extension the bo-
nanza, red metal, millionaire maker
that it is today.
The prospect of today is the divi-
dend payer of tomorrow! A produc-
ing mine makes money faster than
can be made in any other line of en-
deavOr. Investors of the nation
have the worlds greatest riches at
their call. Already bonanza mines
have been developed by the thou
sands in this great western mineral
Empire. These big properties are
now paying hundreds of millions of
dollars each year in dividends. Their
shares are selling at high prices
They are excellent investments. To
get the full measure of profits the
investor must be the ''early Bird in
mining enterprises. Prospect stocks
selling at low figures, while much
more speculative, provide funds for
the development of new mines and
afford the small investor his oppor-
tunity for exceptional profits. Pros
poets developed into mines mean new
wealth for the nation. Let us all
put our shoulders to the wheel and
help the legitimate western promo
ter and operator develop new mines.

PAY ORE BODIES
ENCOUNTERED
At DEPTH
THOUSANDS OF TONS OF RICH
ORE HAVE BEEN SHIPPED
FROM THIS DIsTRICT-ERA
OF DEEP MINING NOW IN PRO
GRESS.

Northern Yuma county and that
section of California lying west of
the Colorado river, and tributary to
Parker, is doing more solid mining
than ever before in it's history. Ex-
tending from the Harqua Hala
mountains, 65 miles southeast of
Parker, to the extreme end of the
Whipple mountains in California,
probably the greatest and beside
fined mineral belt traversing the
great Southwest.
Throughout this great fan-shaped
area are located number of produc
ing mines and several hundred pros
poets in process of development. The
best mining engineers in the world
have examined at various times
properties located in this great min
eral belt, and the favorable reports
made by these experts indicate this
section will be among the leading
copper r-nroducing districts of the
world in the near future. r.
Up to the present time only the
high-grade copper-gold ores have
been shipped to the smelter, and
these have all come from near the
surface, For the past few months,
however, numerous properties have
begun an era of deeper mining and
the success which they are meeting
with in uncovering numerous bodies
of lower grade ores assures an almost
unlimited production Of the red
metal at depth, when the sulphide
ore-zone is developed.
Mining in the Early Days.
The development of the mineral
resources Of this section of central
western Arizona was begun when the
first party of white men braved the
dangers of the savage Indian tribes
which infested these parts fifty years
and sixty years ago. At that time
gold was the, golconda of the early
day prospector, and there are stories
of vast riches having been washed
from the gravel deposits along the
Colorado river by the intrepid gold
hunters of a half-century ago.
In the sixties and seventies, when
copper companded a high price,
prospectors began the mining of
high-grade copper-gold ores, ship
ping their product down the Colo
rado river as far as the Gulf of Cal
ifornia, where it was loaded onto
steamers bound for Europe.
During these days, with no rail-
roads and vast stretches Of desert
intervening between points of civil
lizatiOn; with hostile Indians roam
ing the hills, and the difficulty of
securing supplies, the life of the
early-day prospector and miner was
indeed fraught with both danger
and hardship

tev PROF. JAMES 9. MoRMAN)
'orner Expert for the United States

Former Expert for the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Few farmers take the interest in
poultry Keeping that they should take.
This is a great mistake. The pros
poets of profits from this branch of
livestock keeping are excellent.
In 1910 there were G,36l, farms in
the United States, Fowls were raised
on 5,5s5,032 of these farms.
The number Of fowls kept on farms
were 29a. $50. 100 Tho production of
eggs, however, was reported for only
4Sa3.59 farms, and the number of
fowls kept on those farms was given
as 273,255, 92i. The eggs produced
numbered 1,s7,3S5,712 dozen. Since
the males were reported in the mum
her of fowls. the estimated average
production of eggs per fowl of farm
flocks in This country was placed ut
about six dozen, or - eggs per fowl. Il
yeaF
The average price received for the
eggs was 1873 cents per dozen The
total income from the sale and use of
eggs on farms was about S1.15 per hen
n year, If the cost of feed should be
estimated and deducted from this in
come it would show a very small bal
ance of profit for the farmer or his
wife.
The figures are equally startling
when the value of the fowls them
selves is considered. In 1909 the total
number of fowls raised was ass. 49,
600, and their value was S202. SOC. 600.
This would give an average value to
farm fowls of 40 cents each which
would Indicate either II very small
type Of fowl or an exceedingly low
price Since the wholesale price that
near ranged from IS to Is cents a
pound for poultry, it would show that
the average farm fowl is not a very
promising product for profit.
Census statistics have been brought
together to show what was being done
by farmers in the line of poultry keep
ing. But the progressive farmer is be-
coming alive to the situation. Free
farm range is an economic advantage
over the confined poultry yard. 1t is
much cheaper to raise poultry on
farms than under city or suburban
conditions. From many years of eX-
periencc in raising poultry, it is my
belief that poultry keeping offers an
opportunity to farmers for a steady
cash income at all seasons of the year
When MANY other lines Of work are
at a standstill on the farm. poultry
keeping offers Il means of profitable
labor, especially during the winter
season. | wish therefore, to give a
brief chapter out of my own expert
ence in raising poultry for eggs and
meat.
Selecting a Standard Breed.
Experts in our agricultural expert
mont stations maintain that the ordi :
nary farmyard fowl is not the most
profitable type of fowl to keep. In
stead they recommend some standard
breed
Ieghorns, Plymouth Rocks and
others have many advantages over tho
mongre fowl which belongs 10 the av-
erage farm flock. Among these adj
NantagcS are: %. better results il
breeding; ca, more opportunities fol
selling matching eggs at Il higher price
