ANACONDA COPPER COMPANY.
Developing It's Properties In Every
Direction.

The Butte Miner says: The Ana
conda Copper Mining company is de-
veloping its properties in every direc-
ton. Shafts are deepened, crosscuts
and drifts extended, larger hoists put
in, higher head frames erected, larger
shaft houses built, while the usual
quantity of ore, 5000 TO 5000 tons, is
produced daily. At the Buffalo sink
ing is in progress below the S00-foot
level AT the Green Mountain large
new engine for sinking is in place on
the 1,400-foot level. About 700 tons of
ore is hoisted daily. At the high ore
drifting is in progress to connect with
the Mountain Consolidated, about a
mile west. At the Mountain Consoli-
dated No. shaft is down to the 1900
foot level A new double cylinder hoist
15X36 inches, manufactured by the
Union Iron works of San Francisco, is
ready to be lowered into the mine, to
be placed on the bottom level and used
for sinking and development purposes.
The new hosting engine Aztec, design
ed by the company's employees, has
been in continuous operation about six
months, hosting on some occasions
500 tons of ore from depth of 500 to
LOO feet, besides waste, timber and
men, in eight hours, and could, if
necessary, hoist much more; it is con-
sidered an economical steam user and
will hoist a four deck loaded cage. from
depth of 1,200 feet with less than so
pounds steam pressure. At the st.
Lawrence a new hoist 3Ox72 inches,
high pressure double cylinder, manu-
featured also by the Union Iron
works, is almost completed; the roof
of the shaft house is partly taken off
preparatory to putting up higher
head frame. The vein on the bottom,
1900 TO 1,400 feet deep, of the Ana
conda, Never Sweat and st. Lawrence,
is in places over 100 feet wide, all ore,
with some of it high grade.

THE KING OF ARIZONA.
It Is Declared to Be the Greatest Find
In the West.

Now and then some disgruntled be-
ing for some reason or another starts
the report that the King of Arizona is
playing out-that instead of the ledge
widening, it is growing narrower as
depth is reached. 1t is well known that
there are always some who are ready
and anxious to peddie defamatory re-
ports, and their tales. in the case of the
King Of Arizona, have hardly ever got
ten further than their own tongues.
Late developments show that no
matter what may be said, the King of
Arizona is the greatest find that was
ever made in the territory, the great
est in the. entire west, says the Yuma
Sun.
The ledge has been crosscut at
depth of 20 feet. and the hanging and
foot walls are just is feet apart. For
5000 feet the ledge may be plainly
seen on the surface According to the
numerous assays which have been
made, and according TO the opinion of
superintendent Frank Guerra, one of
the most conservative of mining men,
the entire ledge viii go, at the lowest
reasonable estimate, $50 per ton Many
places it is much higher. A streak from
is to p inches in width goes away up
into the hundreds much of it reaching
the fabulous figures which the rock
was, when first discovered, reported to
carry-S2, 900 per ton.
Speaking of those first reports which
many regarded as unreasonable and
highly colOred, causing the newspapers
of localities where such wonderfully
rich mines are unknown, to publish ed
itorials charging upon the great dam
age which may be done g community
by pverdrawing the reports to the new
discoveries made therein, it might be
well to remark that as regards the
King of Arizona we have as yet failed
to see single report which was over
drawn, fabulous as they have seemed,
and read as they have like fairly tales.
The two mills of the company-a five
stamp and 212-foot Huntington-at
Mohawk, are daily crushing from 10 to
20 tons of ore, and the gold piles up on
the plates in a manner which cannot
be realized in any other way than see
ing it.
Culver & Young, who have the con-
tract for hauling the ore to the mill,
are at present working six teams of L
mules each, and with their continued
Improvement of the roads are now able
to deliver in the neighborhood of 20
tons daily.
Boring for water at the mine is go
ing steadily on. It is thought that
water will be reached in 400 feet, but If
ii is not, the seat of operations will be
changed to a canyon about half a mile
from and across the mountain from the
mine. This canyon drains all the noun
tains around, and it is thought that
water ea1 be found there at a depth
of 100 feet. The idea of piping water
from Castle Dome has been abandoned,
as a careful estimate shows that a
sufficient quantity could not be OBJ
tanned TO operate a 20-stamp mill,
which the company will erect as soon
as the mine has been sufficiently de-
veloped to keep mill of that size
pounding.
