James G. Cooper, cashier of the Arizona Copper Company and 
one of the most able and trusted men connected with that 
corporation, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1877.  He 
was reared in his native country and acquired his education 
in the common schools, remaining in Scotland until 1899 when 
he came to America and settled immediately in Clifton, where 
he has since resided.  He had received a thorough business 
training across the water and had become proficient in 
stenography, his first position being as stenographer to 
the general manager of the Arizona Copper Company.  Through

of the State Bank of Morenci and he was at one time a director 
in the First National Bank of Clifton.
