Inquiry has recently been made through
Frank J. Wright, of this city, by Denver capi-
talists regarding the present condition of the
famous Santa Rita copper mines located 17
miles northeast of this city, and in former years
when copper was high, such heavy producers.
When copper took such a drop four years ago
the mines were closed down and the under-
ground workings allowed to fill up with water
and go to rack in general, but since the rise in
copper several mining men of experience and
means are endeavoring to lease or purchase
them. They are owned by Boston capitalists,
principal among whom is Joel P. Whitney. Next
to the Clifton mines they have in the past pro-
duced more copper than any properties in the
southwest, and are considered today valuable
mines.
