PERSONAL MENTION
Superintendent J. D. Matthews of
the Arizona-McGinnis Copper com
pany, left for the coast Thursday
night for the purpose of purchasing
supplies for the company.
A. B. Harrison left for Los An
geles Tuesday night to be absent
about ten days.
Joseph P. Downey of Miami, vice
president of the Western Arizona
Copper company, was a visitor here
this week. He was highly elated
over the recent rich strike of copper
ore on the property of his company.
Granville Fuqua, manager of the
Parker Commercial company’s
store at Wenden, spent Sunday in
town. He stated that Wenden is
fast coming to the front as an im
portant mining district, many rich
strikes of copper ore being made in
that vicinity.
Gus Holmes, Jr., of Wickenburg
was a business visitor here Wednes
day and Thursday.
R. W. Waterman, city engineer of
Blythe, was in town this week on
business.
Tom Carrigan, the well-known
Blythe merchant, arrived in Parker
Thursday to look after his mining
interests.
L. V. A. Brown, who is clearing
1,000 acres of land in the valley pre
paratory to planting long staple cot
ton, came in from Riverside Monday.

Another ore shoot, even richer
than that opened last week, was
struck Wednesday night at the Wen
den Copper company’s property just
north of Cunningham pass.
The new shoot, like the one which
startled the district a few days ago.
was opened at a depth of 125 feet.
It is a streak of solid glance from
eighteen to twenty-two inches wide
and averages close to fifty per cent
copper. Its gold content can only
be estimated.
Assays of samples from the first
strike, a shoot of glance four feet
wide, averaged $22.70 a ton gold and
thirty-six per cent copper.
Twenty per cent copper ore has
been struck at a depth of between
500 and 600 feet at'the property of
the Jerome Wenden Copper com-'
pany, south of Wenden in the Har
cuvars. This is the group formerly
known as the Nuevo Mundo.
The face of the crosscut ‘tunnel
which has been driven 400 feet into
the side of the mountain is all in ore.
It is to be continued pcross the
formation, and it is quite possible
that a big body will be opened.
The Cobrita Pay Streak country
comes to the front this week with
another big strike of high grade cop
per sulphide ore, this time almost on
the surface of the ground.
