INCORPORATE FOR
 OPERATIONS IN CEDAR COUNTRY

I. M. George and associates have incorporated company under the laws of Arizona with a capitalization of two million one dollar shares for the purpose of exploiting the old Ar hold, General Lee, Hubbard and other claims at Cedar.
 The Arnold group of mines are among the best known properties in the county, having been discovered early in the seventies, prospectors go- ing out from Mineral Park. After their discovery hundreds of tons of the rich ore from the surface workings were milled at Mineral Park in the old mill and later when the ores be- came base shipments were made to Swansea, Wales. A mill was erected on the property and operated for some time but lack of real mill facilities prevented the group from being de- veloped to the extent that their merit demanded. In the later years men who knew nothing of mining took over the properties and spent large sums of money on road work, only a super ficial amount of work being done on the mines. Arastras were used to re- cover the gold and some of the silver in the Queen and Hubbard mines, but the method was not successful in get ting a high recovery of values, al though the men operating the crude affairs made money as long as they were able to work in the oxidized ores. .
 In the latter part of the last cen: tury Baker Bros. of Philadelphia, ac- quired the claims and operated them with indifferent success A fifteer stamp mill was installed at the prop. erty, but financial difficulties inter. vened before real test of the merits of the process could be obtained. The mines have all been opened to some 1 distance below the water level anc every one of them show wonderfully high grade milling values, the ore bodies being important in all the prop, critics. The fact of the matter is, tt our view, there is a wide mineralizee area without anw defined walls, ex cept the walls inclosing the area as a whole, and it is probable that many important lenzes of ore will be founc throughout length of several miles and a width of approximately one half mile. Some of the ore bodies ap bearing in this zone carry wonderful values and are wide and permanent so far as development has been car ried on. In fact there is no like ares in the county having greater ore bear ing features than that in and around Cedar. The ores are gold and silver bearing, there being only smal amount of iron in them, which would indicate that concentration woule make a product amenable to reduction to bullion on the ground, doing ava! with the necessity of shipment to thu smelter and cutting out the haul tt railroad.
 Under company operation and tht work of tributors these mines have shipped hundreds of thousands of dol lars in ores which carried values iron S25O to 5000. And under well di rected campaign of development there is not the least doubt that the mines will be in the producing class shortl! The properties are well equipped, hay ing pumps, hoisting plants and mill i lacking only the necessary compres sors and machine drills to bring then up to date. The men who will have charge of the property are among the best and most influential men of the county, who are out to work the mine to success.
