THE MAMMOTH.
Twenty-Five Stamps Drop
ping and Fifteen More
SOON ARE TO FOLLOW.
Enormous Ore Bodies With an
Enormous Future Be-
fore Them.

Mr.. S, iiin NJ. Franklin has returned
from a business trip to Mammoth
While there he visited the Collins group
of mines which are being worked by
| Captain johnson and Mr.. Barnhart He
stated to the reporter that two distinct
veins have been opened up in the
| Hackney and Aaron mines, each aver
aging from twelve to eighteen feet in
width.
MIR. Andrew Collins, the able foreman
of the mines, has cleaned out and has
ready for extraction sufficient ore to
supply the fifty stamp mill for nine
months, aud is still prosecuting the dew
elopment work with vlgor and remark
able success. The immensity of the
bodies of ore can be appreciated when 1t
is stated that these two claims alone can
easily supply sufficient ore for $50
stamps for an indefinite period.
Messrs johnson and Barnhart have at
great expense and with commendable
energy about repaired all damages done
by the recent flood. The well, which
had been filled with sand, has been
cleaned out and Is being d epened
Since Sunday thirty-fiye stamps have
been making grateful music to the ears
of the good people of Mammoth and in

and were put in operation Tuesday. If
these machines will save eighty per cant
of the gold in the ore, then the Nam
moth camp will soon become the great
est gold producer in Arizona, and great
problem in metallurgy will be success
fully solved. Mr.. Reber, the inven or
of the process, is at the mill personally
perintending the working of his ma
chimes. He is gentleman of intelli-
gence, energy and undoubted ability,
and there is every reason to believe that
both he and his amalgamator will meet
with success.
Mr.. Franklin further states that Mr..
Bailey, superintendent of the Mohawk
company, is tinuinp the development
of the Mohawk mine, an extension OF
the Mammoth, in a careful and conser.
vatve manner that assures success; in
deed the Mohawk is no longer a pros
pect but is a mine. The working shaft
is down 800 feet AID work is being done
in opening up stations and levels. Steam
hoisting works are on the ground and
soon will be in place. The machinery
for he mill will also be soon on the
| ground. Water to supply the mill will
be pumped from the San Pedro river. q
distance of three miles, and the grea
expense of hauling ore will be ebviated
lt all mining claims were as thor
| oughly developed as the Mohawk be
fore putting of machinery thereon, there
would be very few failures in mining
Mining companies would do we'll to fol
low Mr.. Bailey's excellent example.
There are many other valuable min
! ing claims near the Mammoth, Mohawk
and Collins group which belong to 9th
| er parties, but which are undeveloped
These will be opened up in time and
there is every reason to believe that
within the next two years the Nam
moth camp will be one cf the largest
mining camps In Arizona, and one ot
the greatest gold producers in the
world.

THE WHEAT CROP.

Those interested in the conflict now
10 progress between China and Japan
with the 20 sible intervention of other
nations, will also be interested in the
wheat crop, for without wheat there
will be no fighting. Powder will never
burn unless bread be behind 1t, for mep,
as a whole, will not do and dare on
empty stomachs. The following sum
mary is from Clapp & Co., weekly
letter:
The winter wheat belt of the world,
which produces haf the yearly wheat
yield, now appears to report as good or
larger yield than in 1892 or 1893 with
best quality in a decade. The worst
appearance in spring wheat localities
evidently was shown about July 1st,
since then great improvement has been
reported, especially in northwest states
where providence crops" are mostly
grown. Drop conditions, the world
over, especially in those countries i'm
porting the most wheat, will likely gov
ern future values more than any other
factor. For ninety days ending Jaly
1st the worlds visible supplies decreased
about forty-five million bushels. Last
week only 100000 bushels. Stocks of
of wheat in many importing cities of
Europe were the same July 1st as June
lst. Europe's stock OF wheat July 1st
was reported st S6,5G0,000 bushels as
against S8,700000 July 1st, 1893, and
eighty-four million July 1st, 1892. Their
stocks decreased u O6O, 900 in June, 1894

We note with satisfaction the adop-
ton of the suggestions made by the CIT,
IzEN in the matter of proxy voting, by
the county central committee, at their
meeting on Saturday night last, and
while perhaps the idea was not carried
to the extent desired, still for all practl-
cal purposes the result is the same and
we compliment the committee on their
unselfsh patriotism. Under the rule
adapted there will be no packed conven-
tions through delegates over heavy with
accumulate proxies, as heretofore. An
alternate will be elected with each
delegate and in case of inability of eth
er to attend proxy would be recog-
nized, provided, however, that same was
presented by resident elector or the
district to which the delegate and his
alternate stood accredited. This action
on the part OF the committee provides
for free expression OF party opinion
and removes at once a cause that has
been the object CT heart burnings and
bitter reproaches. Under the provisions
adopted an unscrupulous use of proxies
by designing or misguided men is i'm
possible, and the most popular candl-
date before the convention will carry
off the nomination This should be so.
Its very adoption is an earnest OF good
faith, fair and honest dealing. of clean
politics and united party. We con-
gratulate the republicans OF Pima coun-
ty upon the aHspicious opening of the
campaign aDd predict through the unit
ed efforts of the party, sweeping vic
tory at the polls.

Col. HERRING, Of Tombstone, is
credited, by the Sulphur Valley News,
with having called meeting for the
purpose OF endorsing Mark Smith.
There were but two men on the plat
form and thirty three in the hail b. ac-
tual count. We think there must be a
mistake about the part sscribed to Col.
Herring. We modestly rise to remark
that such endorsements are dangerous
to future aspirations.

THE CUISICHT
Country as Seen by a Cor
respondent.
WOOD, WATER AND GOLD.
A Promising Section in The
Southwestern Part of Pima
County.
WOOD, WATER AND GOLD,
Mining and scientific Pres 5.

, An erroneous impression prevails that
the GunsIght country is an inaccessible
and waterless region, remote from sup
plies and generally a desolste desert
bordering on Sonora, the "Lsnd OF
Manana"
The shortest route is by way Of Gila
Bend, on the S. P. r. r., S5 miles; by
Tucson, 40 miles. A natural roadway
generally hard gravel mesas, packing
under travel until the detrital deposit
of porphyry and granite, blending and
| cemented with volcanic ash and lime,
rivals the best work of man. With good
American mules ton to the animal can
be hauled.
The gold fields are situated in a met
amorphic grey granite basin, in extent
13 miles by four, the greater distance
northe-ly and southerly, and hemmed
in by detached porphyry noun tains; an
exceedingly interesting country to the
mining geologist and an ideal topograp-
phical region for mining camp; ex-
tensive grassed valleys with isolated
patches Of hills, hardly attaining the
the dignity of mountains; the Sonora
Mexico, boundry line Is miles distant
and IS miles to the Gulf of California;
an equitable climate, the heat Of
summer tempered by sea breezes, and
at an elevation above sea level about
5000 feet. The geology of the country
shows this low-lying hillock and higher
granite hills to be much broken up and
distorted; quartzite lodges from a few
inches to two feet wide traverse the
country, generally paralleling the quartz
veins. They cannSt be classed as dikes,
as they are too irregular IN their strike,
at times lntersecting the smaller quartz
veins. In the lower country much COM
mon magnetism limestone of a sedimen-
tsry nature occurs, / think simply as q
surface deposit. Veins of quartz, some
| with blending Of fluor spar, having
gene ally northerly and southly trend,
many with the easterly and westerly
strike exist, also lnterlscing feeders,
and stringers of rich quartz. In places
large blowouts Of white and cream
colored quartz show on the line of veins
and a prodigsl abundance of float, all of
this quartz hornspooning well in gold.
The Indians washed for gold in the bateo
for years. No work of moment was at
tempted until the past year, just sur
face gouging where little poor labor
would accomplish much On those

resistance. The robbers admitted that
a third man accompanied them, but
that individual they said was out after
something to eat. The horses they
claimed were their own, notwithstand-
ing great diversity of brands.
Search was made for the third man, /,
but he had probably seen the Capturing
party in the hills, and kept himself be-
hind arroyos and hills.
The whole outfit was started for
Calabasas. The robbers were taken on
to Nogales aud the stock were turned
in Mr.. Atkinson's pasture field, near
his bOuse.
Next morning when George Atkinson
awoke and went to look for his captur-
ed stock he rubbed his eyes. Not a
horse nor mule was to be seen. Only
tracks were there to show they had
ever been in the field. In the wire fence
a gap was found cut, snd the trail of
the band leading therefrom.
The willy thief, the uncaptured man,
had stolen the horses again. The trail
led for Mexico, straight as it could
go.
A second pursuing party was rganiz
ed, this time ID vain. The last seen o..
the trail it was leading far into the
hills of Mexico.
The two men cat tured said the stock
was their own, and that they were taking
it into Arizona to be sold. One brand
was recognized, and the horse in ques-
tion they said they borrowed, from a
Sonora rancher. The rsncher in ques-
ton was called, and admitted that the
party had tried to borrow the horse but
he had refused, the horse being tender
footed. They promised to shoe the
horse and be had gone away without
consentIng to the loan. The next he
knew the horse had been taken anyhow.
The two mules in the band are suppos-
ed to belong in Harshaw. The brands
of the captive stock were not taken
down by the capturing party, so they
cannot place the other horses. All
were doubtless stolen however, ard the
Mexican who got away with the stock
may have another try with the Arizona
ranchers.

HE STOLE THEM BACK
How a Bold Mexican Got Back
His Plunder.
A Band of Stolen Horses Captured
And then Restolen by one
of the Robbers.

A foxy. clever robbery is reported
from Calabasss.
The CITIZEN a few days ago told of
George Atkinson and some OF his neigh
bors starting after a gang of horse
thieves. They got the horses and the
thieves but now they are not much
better off than before. One of the
thieves outwitted them and stole the
captured horses back again.
The capture was made to the queens
taste. Mr.. Atkinson, Joe Wise and two
or three Mexican ranchers thereabouts
followed the trial, and soon found the
horses, four of them, and two mules,
well concealed in heavy growth of
mesquit few miles above Calabasas.
They also surprised the robbers, two
of them, asleep in the underground.
The capture was all made without

ing, but the character of the rock
changing from free milling, which it
now is, to one requiring different treat
ment.
The quartz is friable, in color blush
white, and cream tinted, this latter the
richer, much of it being honeycomb

rich; black and brown hematite imprison

coDcentrators; this class likewise is rich.
Iron pyrites are rarely found, and oc-
casionally patches Of galens occur in
those veins with the fuor spar blend
ings, and copper sparingly ss an oxide
and carbonate.
Water is abundant, and can be Sc
cured in any OF the larger valleys at a
depth from 500 to 800 feet; at other
more favored points, as at the Ajos, in
80 to 80 feet, dug wells.

The wealthiest denomination in the
United States, says III. X. Carroll in the
August Forum, if we estimate denomi-
national wealth according to the aver
age value OF the church edfices aud
81 es, is the Jews. The next Is the Uni
tartan, the third is the Reformed
Dutch, and the fourth the Protestant
Episcopal. The average value of the
churches of Reformed Jews is S3S, ,S39;
of the Unitarian, s24, ,725; of the Reform
ed Dutch, S19.2 .227; and of the Protest
ant Episcopal Sl6,1S2. The Episcopal
church is, however, much more widely
distributed than any of the other bodies
named. The Jews are almost entirely
10 the cities, and the Reformed Jews
also are largely so; but the Episcopal
ians are found not only in al the larger
cities, but are represented in all the
states and territories. This fact adds to
the significance of the high average va

listers, like those of the Presbyterian
church, are we'll cared for. 1t makes nc
