A Novel and Ingenious Method to Handle All Character Of Mineral Ores in Yayapai County That Promises to Pave th Way for Permanent Reduction Works.
It k Known as the Railway Ore Re durtion Syndicate and Travels and Works on Wheels-It Wilt
 Arrive ia Prescott In September
 and Start it's stamps Dropping.

Wonderful things arc happening in improved mechanical methods to handle the products of every indus try. hct none are Of mOie interest to the mining men of Yavapai county nor should be moro favorably re- gardsd by the citiz gus of Prescott than the announcement that we are soon to have ia our midst verita ble small sized reduction plant. A striking feature. too, of this new in vention k that ls wall come aud work on wheels, and bears the title of the Railway Ore Reduction Company. lt is Chicago syndicate and was founded by gentleman named Bowman.
 IL seems that while in Chicago q few days ago F. NJ. Murphy had his attention called to this now inven- ton and after inspecting it rec ognizsd that It was an excellent en terprise and just the sort of . one to trmporaniy lill the mining bill and lead to the realization of what this community has been anxiously waiting aud praying for for a gen sraiiOn-reduction works. Accord ingiy correspondence was started with the Prescott Mining Exchange and the S. F. r. X F. Railway Co. On the recommendation of Mir. Mur- phy the Railway Ore company have decided 10 come and have set the date Tor the middle of September.
 In the correspondence to reach Prescott from Mr Bowman he says his plant wal, treat ores by the anal gamating and concentrating pro ces>es now, and later by liXiviation, cyanide, chlorinatiOn and smelting. The inventor has business ring Io his letters and seems to be jealous and sincere, desiring options on mining claIms, and a subsidy in the form uf ores to be milled. He also speaks of the leasing, bonding and purchase of mines.
 From a diagram of the Quartz Mill on Wheels that accompanies the letters there IS shown An ordi- uary passenger coach in design, but of magnitude in its proportions. The gar l. no feet long aHd weighs 7S.O0O pounds. In the front of the same are located the boiler and en- zine, the smokestack running up thrnugh tho roof Then comes the ore breaker and the ore bin on top of thecar, the , stamps and amalyam plate, the yauneT cOncent Tator, office and sleeping apartments. buffet, as- say office. furnace and other fixtures From this brief outline it wall b,. s,-eu that the ear is we'll equipped so far as il goes, but w'' understand this but the initial process Of nth- CT cars more complicated and ad- vauced.
 In conversation today with A. A. Johns. one of the enorg,,iic men ol the Mining Exchang,', he informs us that that body are earnestly cousld- sTing hIs new feature of solving the delicate question of reduction works for Prescott, and that the proposition submitted by Mir. Bow man is considered by thein far one.
 Tue progress in miaiag to follow the building of the railroad, asids from the fact of the ore 1t has handled, has been simply unheani of, aud since it's adVcnt or through it's channels, our mineral resources are being daily grasped ai. Today no room for doubt exists as 10 its future, and within the next few years one of tho greatest reyivals the country has ever seen in ils mining life will be experienced in and around the Mountain City. The sole question that faces the present, as it will the future, IS to convent ently and pro6tably handle the ores, and with Its solution, the more rapid will mines go down and the greater will be theiT product.
 1t may not be improper 10 state here, in justification of the mineral output of this immediate section, the evidence that IS furnished m the value of ore shipments, that no credit is given Arizona for such, but on the other hand, centers like Omaha, Kansas City, Denver, Pueblo and Fl Paso, each swell the annual returns of their state, with that which comes tn them directly from this section. It is abuse which must be tolerated, however, and seems to sting still deeper country that IS unfortunately thTottled in its aims and in its hopes, because it cannot take care of it's mineral product at home.
 Yavapai is tired and aggrieved in it's daily mission of paying tribute to such centers as Kansas City, Pueblo, Denver ard other centers, and II we can find the relief due us, and in which we hope may come through the Bowman or any other enterprise, we say God speed the day.
