EASTERN MONEY
MOVING TOWARD
THIS SECTION

Eastern capitalists are showing a
keen interest in Arizona and the pos
sibilities and opportunities of this
country are rapidly being appreci !
ated, +. G. Beyland, representative
of True Webber and company, in
vestment bankers of Chicago, stated
last week while in Phoenix on n
combined business and pleasure trip.
Boyland, accompanied by his wife
came to Arizona to look over the
properties Of the General Light and
Power company, for which his firm
originated a bond issue for $4,000
600, which is being used for the de-
velorment of the power companys
properties in Arizona. The General
Light and Power company has in re-.
cent months taken over control Of
the power plants at Douglas, Bisbee
and Yuma.
The company had 147 projects
which it carefully studied and finally
selected IL, of which three are To-
Gated in Arizona" he said. "This
was made because of it's belief in
the future Of this country. With the
bond issue of S2OOO,OO0 for Arizona

their salt, lodges where they mined

"The salt was gotten from a series

said Some of the walls and floors
OF these caves are formed IN part
of pure rock salt and here the an

next 20 years.
THE Arizona bonds were placed
on sale one day and oversubscribed
the next. The buyers included many
institutions of the country, showing
the faith which the capitalists of
the country have in this state.
THE Arizona Edison company,
which is he owner of the Bisbee,
Yuma and Douglas systems, is owned
entirely by the General Light and
Power company. The Bisbee system
includes Lowell and Warren, the

SONORA ARIZONA
MINING CO. WILL
BUILD HIGHWAY

Just eleven miles southeast from

Aqua Prieta, "The Sonora-Arizona
Mining company" owns copper
property comprising 20 IL acres
known as the "Cuatro Hermanas
mine which, when developed, VIII
mean much to the city of Douglas,
according to Frank Barton OF 9ZZ
Ninth street, president of the com
pany.
Speaking of the mine Saturday
Barton said; THE property has four
distinct true flssure veins of hard
quartz, carrying values in copper,
silver and gold with high percent
age Of silica.
From the indications and investi-
of country rock, the whole noun
cations it is believed that underly-
ing the cap of country rock, the
whole mountain consists of good
paying ore the officia continued.
Few realize what development of
this wonderful property so close to
Douglas will mean in the improve
ment Of business here when publicity
is given to it in the mining jour
nails of the country.
"The Sonora-Ariznoa Mining COM
pany has given a contract to build a
good road from Aqua Prieta to the
mine. AS soon as this road is com
pleted, ore will be shipped in trucks
to the railroad at Aqua Prieta and
thence by rail to the smelters.
Ernest J. Stanley, well-known
mining engineer of Arizona, in re-
port on this property says in his
conclusions:
From the width and character of
the veins and the arge amount of
ore exposed on the surface, L con-
slider the property to be very val
liable one. Proper development
should expose large tonnage of
high grade ore for shipping, and a
much larger tonnage of good milling
ore.'
application has been made to the
commissioner of corporations for a
permit to sell $4,000 shares of treas
ury stock at % cents a share.
Business men and citizens of
Douglas are invited to investigate
this offering. 1t is our belief that
the value of the shares will undoubt-
edly rise rapidly as soon as it. be-
comes known that large shipments
of ore are being made.
inquiries about the property will
be gladly answered by Captain Hans
G. Johansen, secretary of the COM
pany, or by Frank Barton, president
