PARKER CONS. MINING CO.

Few properties in the Parker dis
trict are more favorably located and
contain greater showing of miner
aliZation than that of the Parker
Consolidated Mining company. This
property adjoins the Empire-A -Arizo-
ma Consolidated Copper company on
the south and the Billie Mack Min

two of the largest and most impor-
ant mines in the district
The company was organized a few
months ago by a number of Parker
people, and preparations are now
under way to equip the property
with the necessary machinery for

CHURN DRILL To

PROPERTY

At the present time it is the only
bad road in the vicinity.
There is considerable talk at pres
ent among the Mammor officials. Of
erecting teaching plart or finding
some method to treat their ores on
the ground Present indications are
that very little ore will be shipped
from the Mammon until the result
of the churn drilling has definitely
determined the character of the
deeper and more permanent ore
bodies.
If it is found the ore can be
handled by teaching plant or by
some similar method not too expen-
sive, according to Presidnet Osborne,
there is probability that toe Install
alton of such a plant will be started
in October. The Mammon treasury
is in excellent shape and can With
stand almost any reasonable demand
made upon it for the purchase Of
machinery and equipment for a
plant Of that kind.

FULLY FINANCED,
MAMMON MINE
TO SHIP

One of the most promising mines
in the district, and one that is be-
ing developed as rapidly as brain
and Drawn, money and machinery
can accomplish it, is the we'll known
Mammon property. Developments
of the past few weeks mark the
Mammon as one of the future big

erty have been recently thoroughly
surveyed and a map of the probable

ment vertical shaft will be sunk as
soon as the proper location for it
can be determined by the churn
drill.
A sytematic plan for mining oper-
ations on a large scale is being

ship. However, the Parker Consoli-
dated company intends to explore
the ore bodies at depth, and an ideal
location has been selected for the
sinking of it's first shaft, at an inter-
section of two strong contacts, where
trenching has disclosed a large body
of ore at the surface.
One of the noticeable features in
mine development in the Parker dis
trict is that considerable local capi-
tai is going into the mines. Parker
business men and investors are ever
ready to take a chance in mining
and no better evidence of the legi-
timacy of the mining industry in
the Great Parker Country can be
pointed out than that the men who
are on the ground have full conf
dence in the mines which are located
here.
The officers and directors of the
Parker Consolidated company all re-
side in Parker. The property of the
company was originally owned
largely by M. E. Graham, the we'll
known mining man and rancher.
Mr.. Graham has mined in about all
the principal mining regions of the
world. He came to Parker about
five years ago, and was so enthused
over it's great mineral possibilities
that he decided to stay. He pur-
chased a ranch on the Colorado
river, about six miles above town,
and then started out to look for
some good mining ground.
Officers of the Cons.
At the time the price of copper
was low, and there was little activi-
ty in the mines of the district After
carefully prospecting the country in
this locality he located some of the
ground now owned by the Parker
Consolidated company, and purchas-
ed two claims outright by trading
some valuable farm lands in south
ern California for the property.
A few months ago Mr.. Graham and
several local business men organized
the Parker Consolidated company
and it is the firm conviction of those
who are interested in the company
| that a good producing mine will be
developed on the property.
Very little treasury stock of the

negotiations are now pending for
the financing of the company. The
officers of the company are: o. NJ

other contacts running easterly and
westerly. Wherever the intersec-

prospected high-grade copper ore has
been found.
Practically the same geological
conditions are noticeable on this
property as evidenced on the estates
of the Empire and Billie Mack. Gold
and copper ore occur together in all
of the ore bodies so far found, the
ratio being about one-third of the
total value in gold, the balance be-
ing in copper.

work count in the ultimate develop
ment of the. property. Sufficient
money has been placed in the treas
ury of the company to enable the
president and general manager, Z.
S. Osborne, to carry out these plans
and either prove or disprove the
opinion Of mining engineers that
there is a large body OF disseminated
copper sulphides beneath the rich
carbonate and oxide ores in the up
per levels.
The Mammon mine is owned by
the Mammon Gold and Copper COM
pany, of which E. S. Osborne is pres
ident; John M. Patterson of Pitts
burg, a successful oil operator and
widely known mining man, is vice
president; Charles Bowman of Los
Angeles, is secretary, and DR.. H. H.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter fRv Campbell's Wire)

The week in the cotton market closed with a very steady tone in evidence. although the session had it's periods of depression owing to liquidation of long cotton over the triple holidays which begin tomorrow. This liquidation was the main influence against values with the market was the cold weather still lingering over the belt, prospects of another cold wave, the holidays and reports of strong spot demand, both in the eastern and western belt, which was being met by only limited offerings
 In the early trading prices improved 24 to 27 points, but the rise brought out heavy realizing, combined with some lit tie short selling, and the market fell orr until it stood 2 to ' points under the last quotations The underlying steadlness of the market gradually asserted itself and prices recovered. Around the mid- dle Of the day the spot reports com menced to be felt and in the early art ernoon the market was at its best where it stood at a net gain over yes terday's close of 51 to 5S points.
 We believe the new week will bring reports of extensive crop damage as the result of the cold weather this week and 1t looks as if the better spot de- mand is due to the filling of end or October commitments, which means that it Is likely to last during the remainder 10 the month. These things speak for a higher range of values.

VIDE SWINGS IN
 CORN AND MEATS
Market Affected by Govern ment Edict, Which Will
 Prevent HOarding

Chicago. October T-Reports that the government license regulations for the handling of foodstuffs would not apply to dealings on the board of trade helped to rally the corn and provision markets to- day from acute weakness. Corn closed nervous. at the same as yesterdays fin- ish to 13sc higher, with December $l14q 114s and May Sl.097sQ110. Oats gained %Qzc. Provisions after a collapse that reached an extreme of s2.55 ended the day at net losses of soc to $i.30.
 Corn showed hesitancy at the opening and then quickly plunged down grade, influenced by talk of $1 bushel as the aim of the food administration by asser- tions that the corn crop was much larger than official returns had yet made evil dent Besides, peace talk had acquired decided force, and was accompanied by heavy selling ascribed to important for eign sources. The market, though re- bounding during the last half of the ses- sion, aided by evening up for the holiday tomorrow, as we'll as by abatement of anxiety in regard to chances of radical government measures touching corn
 Big export purchases had strength ening effect on oats. Drastic liquidation on the part of the holders broke provi- sions severely for the third day in suc- cession. The furry about increased gov ernment control appeared later, however, to have subsded in the main.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, October 1.-The appearance of killing temperatures in part of the western belt has caused a further re- duction of crop estimates and g further sharp advance in the cotton market dur ton ginned prior to September 25 had emphasized the lateness of the yield and increased the sensitiveness of the mar ket to the reports of early frost.
 The forecast for frost caused an ad- vance of practically cent pound on Monday and the news received on Tues day sent prices up to 2710c for December and 26.95c for January contracts, mak- ing an advance of approximately 71hc per pound from the low level of last September. The upward movement was then checked by realizing and the ap- pearance of increased southern hedge selling, but reactions of 130 to 150 points were followed by renewed firmness to- day.
 Both foreign and domestic trade in terests have been active buyers on the advance, with the demand accompanied by reports that spinners were fixing prices and buying contracts against for ward requirements. Comparatively few of the reports received here have att tempted any definite estimate to the extent of frost damage, but one au- thority with headquarters at Dallas. has placed the reduction in crop prospects at not less than 100000 bales. In local cir- cles there has been disposition to scale down crop estimates to about 1i500.000 or Il, 600 bales excluding linters. compared with the official indication of approxi- mately 100000 as of September 25 and IF. 500.00O aH of August 25. No further official statement of the crop will be issued until the final forecast Is published on December Il.
