One of the most Interest- Ing detail* of the story Ib that the re organized company purposes to erect a smelter on Us properties. The deal Is regarded locally as one of the most Im portant ones that has taken place In mining circles during the present year, as both properties are noted through out the country and are strong financially. It is reported that the deal is a prac tical certainty. Rumors of It have been afloat in local mining circles for the past three or four weeks. . The Calumet and Arizona and the Copper Creek properties are located nearly adjoining each other at the head of the Gallura mountains, about twelve miles east of Mammoth and about seventy miles northeast of Tucson. Col. L. W. Powell Is at the head of the former properties, and Col, Slbley. well known throughout the southwest, is the president of the Copper Creek properties, with headquarters in Los Angeles. While the companies have heretofore been In no wise connected In a financial way, the Copper Creek com pany has for some time past been fur nishing power to the Calumet and Ari zona under a contract. • According to the report received In T.(is Angeles the reorganized company •will take over the stock of present holders at par, exchanging therefor stock at par value in the new company. Copper Creek, It is said, was the first placed on the market at 10 cents a ■bare, which was eventually Increased to 25 cents, then 50 cents. Holders of this stock will bo allowed par for It in each instance, and will be given, in ex chjige, stock in the consolidated com pany at $10 a share, which has been fixed as the price under the new order of things. This sUck will be listed on the market. It is said that the company purposes to erect a 200-ton smelter on Its prop erties on the Copper creek, at some point most suitable for handling the ores of the Calumet and Arizona and the Copper Creek companies. From what is considered a most authentic source it Is learned that orders for the machinery have already been placed, and the company expects to begin work on its erection us soon as the machinery ,an be turned out by the manu facturer*. jwilJiHIM NEW MINISTER AT POST WASHINGTON, April B.— navy department cablegram from Monrovia announces the ar rival i there, yesterday of the scout cruiser Birmingham with Mr. L.yon, American minis ter to Liberia, whose report to th« state de partment on 'conditions In th« negro republic Is expected by cable. ~ ♦ ««• BUYS IN SECTION 20 TAFT, April n.-Phtrl»» W.
