An advertising postcard, c. 1907.
Printing on the front of the card says: "A Mountain of Ore -- Owned by Cobralla Company. "Lime Hill" Claim. Photo taken 1907. Note the great extent and regularity of the formation."
Printing on the back of the card exclaims: "Millions in It!"
"There are Millions of Dollars worth of Gold, Silver and Copper in the mountains owned by the Cobralla Company. Are you going to help us get it out and share in the profits? Or are you going to sit back and do nothing and afterwhile turn Socialist and say that all the wealth of the World ought to be divided? If you want your share you had better help get it out and be sure." - D. W. Hall, Camp Cobralla, Salome, Arizona.
An article in the Arizona Journal-Miner, November 6, 1907, p. 2 said “At the Cobralla property in the Tank Pass section, north of Salome, two shifts are now being worked, sinking a shaft of the Carbonate Hill claim. The shaft is now down about 35 feet on the incline, the entire shaft being in ore of high grade, averaging 12 per cent copper, 15 ounces silver, and $4 to $5 gold, while shots put in the lime-schist footwall show up considerable peacock copper and carbonates.”
