LEGISLATURE TO PROBE
 MINING PROMOTIONS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Arizona mining promotions may be the subject of legislative investiga- ton conducted by joint committee of both houses of the legislature ac- cording to gossip which is current in Phoenix Representatives and senat- ors, from several of the mining fields of the State, have closely questioned members or the corporation commis- sion relative to circumstances sur rounding the issuance of stock-selling permits, and 1t is conceded on all sides that the present Arizona blue sky law will be amended by the pres ent legislature
 Reflecting the legislative sentiment was the action taken by the corpora ton commission, when it adopted a resolution providing that hereafter any investment permit application would not be heard until seven days Lad elapsed after the date of its fl- ing. It should be stated, however, that such action on the part of the commission had been in contempla- ton for some time past.
 The legislative hearing on permits heretofore granted 1t is claimed in some quarters, may prove sensational, although along what lines, the sensa- ton will result, has not been made clear. It will be urged by the corpo- ration commission that they be dele gated with a wider range of authority than the blue sky law in its present form permits them to assume. Ten members of the legislature are stock holders in a concern which was re- gently prohibited from selling stock in California and publicly criticized by the California corporation com mission, and which concern owned properties in the Ray district

OPERATORS TO PL ACE IN ACTION MOD ERIN MACHINERY FOR DEEP DEVELOPMENT.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Uri Embody, general manager of the coast syndicate which recently closed a deal for the holdings of the Iowa Copper Co.,, stated yesterday that the immediate equipment of the property with hoisting plant, air compressor and other facilities had been decided upon. He said
 Now that the sale has been fully consummatcd our company proposes an energetic line of development to depth. We have eight patented claims, which arc situated east of Mayer about 2H miles, and from geo. logical conditions in evidence there is but little doubt the Blue Bell min eralization exists on the Iowa. In fact 1t was this desirable situation so conclusively determined that prompt cd the taking over of the property We will operate on close basis, only a limited number of shareholders be- ing interested. The outlook for mak- ing Q big copper IS encouraging from development given by the retiring company"
 Under former owners the Iowa workings had reached a depth in the main shaft of l70 feet, while at other points were several shafts reaching to 30 feet, the entire system being thor oughly prospected The values are principally copper, but gold and silver
 
 particular deal is another straw to in- dicate the drift of capital to a belt where a copper bonanza has been opened in the Blue Bell, and serves as a parallel to the situation prevail ing in the Jerome field since the Little Daisy set the pace for copper activity in its territory.
