SPECIAL STOCKHOLDER'S
MEETING AUGUST 3 TO
ACT ON PROPOSAL TO
TAKE GREAT WESTERN
SMELTER CORPORATION
(From Wednesday's Daily.!
A special meeting of the stock'
holders of the Rig Ledge Copper
Company has been called to be held
Tit the company's offices, Sellwood
brildiiig, Dulnth, August 3, for the
purpose of acting upon a proposal to
take over the Great Western Smel
ters Corporation. This will involve
increasing the capitalization from the
present amount of 1.500,000 shares,
of a par value of 5 each, to 3,000,fxX)
shares.
It is reported that with the pro
posed changes becoming effective
strong financial interests will take
T-art in the affairs of the company.
Unification of the Rig Ledge interests
will be brought about by the pro
posed consolidation, which should
operate to the distinct advantage of
all interests directly affected. The
following letter to stockholders was
rcnt out with the proxies:
"Realizing the fact that a large
proportion of our stockholders live at
a great distance from this city, we
wish to make a brief statement of
the reason for calling this meeting.
It has been the opinion of many that
the connection between the Rig Ledge
Company and the Great Western
Smelters Corporation should be di
rect, and nol merely contractual, as
at present. This has been our 'belief
from the start, but it did not seem a
v se step in the inception of the Rig
1 edge enterprise. We have always
intended that, at some opportune
time and when it could be done with
cut affecting the financial arrangc
ncnts of the Rig Ledge Copper Com
pany to give your company the op
portunity to take over the Great
Western properties. We have con
cluded that the lime is here for this
action.
"The reason for tire proposal to in
crease the capitalization of your com
jinny is for the purpose of taking over
the smelter corporation at a low
valuation, and for further enlarge
ment of the smelter, so that the dc
vclopment of both will be carried
along co-ordinately and more eco
nomically than possible when they
arc separate organizations. A full
discussion of the said proposed pur
chase will be had at the forthcoming
meeting, so that all stockholders will
be informed as to the values and pos
sible benefits of the transaction. It
is contemplated that some suitable ar
rangement be made to include a
treasury reserve for our protection
and for the future acquirements of
properties such as arc now under
consideration.
"The aim of the management has
always been to further the intrinsic
2luc of your stock both by the de
velopment and acquisition of addi
tional properties.
"Owing to labor troubles through-
cut the entire country wc are in the
same position as nearly every "other
operating copper company, having
been confronted with a labor strike
and demands which cannot be grant
ed. Our properties at the present
lime are closed and wc feel this is
an opportune time to make this ad
justment. " t no time have your properties
looked so well, nor have they shown
o great ore reserves as at the mo
1'icnt they were closed by these labor
demands."
DEATH REWARDS
FIRM FRIEND IN LIFE
(From Wednesday's Daily)
Consideration for the afflicted,
tempered with many kindly acts in
'lcviating the sufferings of a young
ia-i before death occurred, is to be
-. rncrously remembered, and Mrs.
'. lara Klopfer of this city is the
beneficiary of a very large inheritance
of the estate of Harry Kathmcycr,
v. hose death took place in Prcscott
'.it December. This young man of
only 26 years was stricken with tuber
culosis in Xew York State, and came
YVe-t later, arriving in Los Angeles,
. i.d stopped at the same hotel as
."irs. Klopfer. The latter noticed his
t mariated form, and with a kindly
lisposition proffered her services
v. i'.hout any remuneration whatever.
Strong and fervent friendship be
ron the two crystallized in time,
.ml under the advice of the deceased
it was suggested that Prcscott, Ari
zona, would be a fitting place for
nurn
niL ULl
SMELTER
him to come for the benefit of a
change of climate. Hither both came, !
?nd Mrs. Klopfer refused to accept
any remuneration in making the trip
or in caring for 'lier patient. She was
unaware of the fct he was well-to-do.
The young man failed to rally,
and with Mrs. Klopfer at his side the
end came. During his last illness
Mr. Kathmcycr revealed his circum
stances, and when nearing the end
was advised that by the death of an
aunt, he was the heir of a very large
fortune, which in addition to a large
amount left by an uncle, made him
very wealthy. His conscientious na
ture was beautifully typified as his
own life was closing, when his will
was drawn, wherein he bequeathed
to his nurse a large portion of his
wealth. The estate is being probated
now in the Superior court of this
county. She left for Xew York on
Monday night, and it is stated is call
ed to the old home of her deceased
friend in order that the estate may
be distributed as the will of Mr.
Kr.lhmeyer ordains.
En route East, Mrs. Klopfer will
visit friends in Chicago. After leav
ing Xew York she will visit her old
home in Pittsburg, and is to return
to Prcscott during the Autumn, en
route to Los Angeles, where she will
reside.

DESERT TRAGEDY IS
NARROWLY AVERTED
(From Thursday's Daily.)
Thomas Gwynnc and S. D. Morgan,
miners of this section who arrived
during the week from a camp near
Searchlight, Xcv., report that a man
named Ren Thompson had been pick

a dying condition for want of water.
He was seen .wandering around by
an auto party, and after being resus
citated, was partially restored to a
normal state.
On his jcrson were found letters
written from Jerome by a woman,
and it is surmised he had been cm-
ployed by the A. & A. Company.
Messrs Morgan and Gwynnc arc re

ME MARKET
hABULOUS PRICE
FORJMDOL
BUYERS OFFER 5G CENTS

WITHOUT WEIGHT QR
QUALITY INVESTIGATED
(From Thursday's Daily)
Range supremacy is now centered
to the sheep growing industry, and
this distinction is generally admitted
in livestock circles from the remark
able leap in wool prices during the
short period of less than one year.
The price a year ago was "below 35
cents and has advanced to the present
market quotation of 56 cents a pound.
This high price has proved astound
ing to the grower, and to substantiate
what is actually prevailing in pur
chasing centers, G. II. Daggs, a visi
tor yesterday from Williams, stated
he had refused the above sum for his
wool, and would hold for a higher
price. Mr. Daggs also stated that he
had sold a bunch of 150 bucks, -for
which he had been paid 25 per head,
or in the aggregate 3,750. "Wc" are
playing the game, and the cards arc
coming our way; when the break
takes place is not material, it cannot
be very soon; the tide is carrying our
industry on a high wave that is far
beyond our expectations,"' was his
manner of expressing the situation
that has developed since the Euro
pcan war broke out.
In line with the market conditions
at present, and of much interest lo
cally, was the transaction made yes
terday by A. A. Johns of the Aubrey
Investment Co., one of the big sheep
outfits of the State, who described a
sale which was startling from a bus
iness standpoint. His firm had en
route to a Roston commission house
a large shipment of wool, and while
on the cars negotiations for the pur
chase were closed on a basis of over
50 cents a pound. After wiring his
acceptance, and without the buvcr
being aware of the quality of the
article, a certified check for 1S,750
was mailed to Mr. Johns, and by him
exhibited yesterday. The wool prob
ably has reached Roston by this time,
and the buyer is in possession. Said
MY. Johns: "This market game is a
revelation, and brings back recollec
tions of the time when the venture
some bucked the game of chance by
putting his money on a card. Wc
sheepmen arc doing the dealing and
the 'game is very popular from the
number of high-class players. The
price received for wool is not only
startling, but from present indications
is to go higher, if conditions can be
accurately judged from supply sources
that have been drained recently. Who
ever believed that wool would reach
such a fabulous price? It is reason
able to expect a mining boom from a
strike made or an ore content running
into the millions in value. Rut this
sheep stunt dwarfs any expectations
even the wildest of dreamers ever
advanced."
POULTRY SHOULD BE
CHEAPER IN AMERICA
WASIIIXGTOX, July IS. A prcs-
cnt congestion in the frozen poultry
market, shown by figures of the
United States department of agricul
ture, can be relieved if the retail
dealers will handle the goods at a
reasonable advance over wholesale
prices. This action would make
poultry available at prices comparing
favorably with other meats according
to the findings of a conference just
held here between wholesale poultrj
distributors and officials of the de
partment of agriculture. Roth par
ties to the conference say that more
poultry should be eaten when the
facts are understood by the consum
er; an -increased use of poultry now,
in the opinion of the department, will
tend to conserve other meats which
arc of more importance to Americans
and their Allies in Europe. The re
tailers, as well as wholesalers, it is
poiuicu out, sitouiu am m relieving
the congestion.
Rroiling chickens arc especially
abundant and those of prime quality
sold in June on the wholesale market
in Xew York at an average price of
22 cents a pound. A year before tin
average price was 27 cents during the
same month. There arc unusually
heavy holdings of dressed poultry in
cold storage. Unless these stocks are
moved quickly, farmers who have in
creased this year's flocks iii response
to a patriotic appeal will not have
normal marketing conditions when
their surplus comes on the market.
'I'lii. mrttHC 4 ! -T.f.. .

.b.vm ..... t...Kv.- aui.imi.-s u.
poultry in the Summer of 1916 were
unusually low because of small orig-
inal holdings and large export dc
mands. This resulted in unusual!
high prices to producers during the
Fall and Winter of 1916. The supply
was unexpectedly heavy and large
stocks were stored at high cost
Then export demands fell off, th
wave of economy affected the home
demand, and the storage stocks mov
ed slowly. The net results, accord
ing to the department, is that almost
everybody ought to enjoy chicken
dinners now at decidedly reduced
prices, and without a feeling that
they are using up needed meat sup
plies. In short, it is said to depend
on the retailers whether cheaper
chickens will be available.
SILVER LANE IS IN
RUBY ORE AT 300 FEET
(From Thursday's Uaily.)
The, tunnel on the 400-foot adit now
being driven by the Silver Lane Min
ing Company whose property is locat
cd eight miles south of Crown King,
is in 300 feet and has encountered
ruby silver in the breast. This tun
ncl is being driven on the vein to get-
under the shoot which was stoped
from the 200 adit in the early "SOs,
The vein is four feet wide, a fissure
in granite, and is one of the famous
early-day producers of Yavapai conn
ty. The tunnel will be run to the 700-
foot point. The main ore shoot
should be encountered at 650 feet.
The presence of high grade silver
at this stage of development lead
the management to believe that they
arc close to a shoot of ore. Th
Lane ore averages better than 200
ounces silver. The company is full
financed, principally by Ttisbcc ant'
Douglas capital, although a" few
this section arc fortunate to be
stockholders. Xo stock is offered for
sale. i
The Rose Marie Mine.
A recent strike of high grade gob:
ore has been made on the Rose
Marie. The ore runs well over 2,000
per ton in gold, and the lucky owners
have taken out over 50 sacks of thi
grade" of ore during the past week.
The Rose Marie has produced quite
a bit of bullion in the past the best
grade ore being run through an ar-
rastra. The Rose Marie is located
within two miles of the Silver Lan
mine, and is in a proven high grad
district. The vein is from 2xi to four
feet wide and is a good milling propo
sition.
The Green Gulch Company.
Preparations arc being made to in
stall a drill on the holdings of th
Green Gulch Mining Company. Thi
company owns 40 claims in the same
district and adjoining the Silver Lane
mine. They have a good copper show
ing over a large area ami arc pre
paring to prove up the ground.
