l. A dividend paying mine on
Groom Greek would, in the first
place increase the population of
Prescott.
:. In consequence OF this growth
there would be a demand for adj
/ ditional residences which would
mean the investment of money in Il
bungalows and cottages
). This condition OF things would
mean the employment OF mechanics
and the furnishing of material. thus
charging the business of our mer-
camille establishments.
4. The merchants in every line of
business would profit by the realiza-
ton of the proposition, for the in
crease of population would create
demand Tor food and clothing. Only
few days ago. one of our promi-
nent business men remarked that he
would rather sell TO one miner than
to ten farmers.
). The enterprise in question
would necessarily lead to the invest
ment OF thousands OF dollars in the
development OF other mining proper
ties besides the dividend payer. This
would increase the output of gold.
silver. copper, etc. in the vicinity of
ing men coming here to Invest, would
make large bank deposits and with
the hourishing OF the banks, comes
hthe fiourishipg OF the city.
7. Prescott would become a rail-
road center. for the successful work
ing OF the mines would necessitate
extra railroad facilities.
8. Another patent factor would
I be the increase OF legal work.
9. Public thoroughfares would be
improved and hotels erected to &C
commodate the importing of capi-
talists, who would come to invest
and eventually make Prescott their
/ home
10. 1t would mean the increase OF
tax valuation. which would help in
general improvements.
II. Due to the heavy demand for
copper and the conditions OF the met
al market, during the years of 1915
and 1917, Yavapai's principal indus
try showed wonderful increase and
brought prosperity TO hundreds OF
/ citizens as we'll as to fortunate in
vestors throughout the United States
/ With the opening OF that wonder
mine. The United Verde Extension.
better known locally as the Little
Daisy impetus was given the mining
world to the fact that here is locst-
ed one OF the richest, if not the rich
est mining districts in America.
Every inducement is offered by her
citizens for the carrying on OF legiti-
mate mining with excellent railroad
and smelter facilities and the market
/ for supplies. Prescott today offers
the best field for mining to be found
anywhere To capital seeking in
vestment and to prospector alike. she
hold ont promise OF rich rewards.
H. Discouraged mining operators
who. III the past, have used the older
mining methods will look with in
terest upon the new oil iotation pro-
cess and will adopt this modern time
and money saving system OF milling.
IS. This enterprise on Groom
Creek means to Prescott what the
gold mining did to California in the
early sixties.
IA. Yavapai county holds within
its confines a treasure vault, the sur
face OF which has scarcely been
scratched and the opening of which
means untold wealth and prosperity
to everyone.
Is. \ dividend paying mine on
Groom Creek would in a measure
be to Prescott what the United
Verde is to Jerome. what the United
Verde smelter is to Clarkdalc and
the Extension smelter is TO the
Verde, Cottonwood and Verde val
legs.
10. Nothing succeeds like success
and it may be that the future OF
Prescott rests upon the materializing
OF this project in question.
