The DESERT MINE

The DESERT NINE Is one Of the
early locations In Arizona, and II

and was . producing mine about
the time the Navajo indians had
ceased to roam over the plains In
the desert Of Arizona
It 10 not for the lack Of ore that
the mine did not continue to pro-
duce, rather lack OF transportation,
as all ore In mine no matter how
good q mine II Is, is not OF q grade
sufficiently high to ship to q smell
ter, therefore Il must be treated
on the ground.
Any miner could have found this
mountain Of ore, and any miner

The stock company with capital

the money to hsndle the ore. There

silver values, and there are thou

When Mr.. Delay, an old.ttme

boulder. he found II contained cop
some very rich spots In gold and

In the old workings, he commenc-

grade copper ore, covered with

large copper producing mines Of
Arizona were started as small gold

We can mention a few Of the
WONDERFUL PRODUC ERS OF
Arizona without detracting from
the prospects of the NAVAJO
MINES CORPORATION shares.
Arizona IL a WONDERFUL State,
and the opportunity IL offers TO 10
yestors cannot probably be equal
ed anywhere else. This statement
Is strong, but II 10 truthful and
conservative, as q study OF the hg-
ures below will show.
The COPPER QUEEN. probably
the greatest of all COPPER mines
in Arizona, does not publish Its
dividends. The following list will
tell you what some of the Arizona
Mines have done to INCREASE the
COPPER, GOLD, and SILVER out
