 George W. Treadwell, who is in the city from California, IS the man who put up the eighty stamp mill ou the NultuTe miue, which in its tune. madc millions for it's owners. NIT. Treadwell says the property Is far from being worked out, and that the only reason that 1t cannot now be worked with profit is the fact that there Is nu wood within thirty miles of the mine. The mine Is
 town but about 2O0 feet, and there Is evidence that there are thousands of tons of high grade ore m the mine. The water problem is another serious draw back, as the mine in it's early days piped water from Bills place, on the Hassayampa, to Seys mour, distance of about nine miles aud from there to the mine, about fifteen miles. With the expenditure of a little money, the wood and water obstacle could bo overcome. About sixteen miles from the mine there is small box canyon in the Hassayampa river. There IS never less than 300 inches of water m the river at any time of the year, and as there IS a fall of about twenty-five feet to the mile at this point, tur- bine wheel could be placed in the river at a convenient point, which would be sufficient to generate enough power to run an electrical dynamo. and the power could easily be transmitted to the mine. There is plrnty Of water on the lower levels of the mine which could be brought to the surface by pump operated by electricity which woult be sufficient to run the stamp mill. No wood in this case would be nee essary. and thus ono of the principal haudicaps to the working the mine would be eliminated. Ii this could be done, aud 1t is entirely practica- hle, the Vulture would soon be ln he front rank of producers, and as about SO men would necessarily he empln, ed in the mine, it Is easy tO see where Phenix would be bone fitted.-Gazette.
 Any one who had business before the land office in the matter of applying for patents during the last year and half, will remember the case of Goudy vs. The Kismet Mining Company. as few patents have been obtained during that period in which the decision in this celebrated case has not been referred to. It has been set up as a rule and guide, a precedent for all other ap- plications to be guided by. During the past week." says the Mining and Scientific Press, Secretary of the Interior Bliss has made final decis- ion in the case of w. H. Goudy vs. The Kismet Mining Company, Grip pie Creek, Colorado, which is of considerable importance. The case involved the publication of aPplica- tions for patent. A great number of such applications had been pub lished in a Cripple Creek paper. Secretary of the Interior Smith de- cided about year ago that certain governmental requirements had not been complied with and that all the applications in question would have to be re-advertised, which, of course, would occasion great expense, delay and the possibility of adverse litiga- ton. Technically, it appears that Secretary Smith was correct, as cer tain exact requirements were not observed in the publication of the applications in question. Upon ex- animation 1t was evident that not only in the Cripple Creek cases, but in a great number of cases all over the country tae same omission had been made, so that if Secretary Smiths decision had been carried into effect, it would have compelled re- advertising of probably 75 per cent of all the mining claims in the United States, for which applica ton for patent had been made, but for which patent had not been issued. There were four separate hearings
