THE WHY AND WHEREFORE.

A correspondent in the Mining Record scores the Prescott papers for not giving more mining news. Pres colt papers are just as anxious to give mining news as outsiders are to get it, but the operators of our very best properties, for some reason known best to themselves, are averse to having newspaper mention and are as dumb as an oyster when the re- porter fmplores them to give him news about their properties. The man with a good prospect generally likes mention, but ehe man with the well developed mine which is making him rich seems to prefer 10 work it on the silent plan. There are a few exceptions to this rule. of course. It is a fact that the edi.or of this paper has several times incurre1 the displeasure of good friends for mentioning the output of their mines. We have mining country second 10 none on earth, and any ming wise man can come here and convince him self of the fact in short time- Courier.
 There is more truth than poetry in the above. The Republican aims to give all good mining news and plenty of it 365 days in the year. Much of this is derived through a personal visit to mining properties.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS

At Cochltd, in Santa Fe county, N. M., the sale of big mines still goes on and preparations for vast milling facilities gre advancing at high V satisfactory rate. Messrs. Posey. Cartan and Cci.,3m of the Cochiti Gold Mining company, which recent- ly purchased nine of the camps best developed mines, are now in Denver selecting machinery for 100 ton mllI to be put up on the Albermarle group. The avidity with which the Boston mine specMaitors are now, paying $S a share fer Albemarle stock Is taken as happy auguw for the future Of Cochiti. Hugh McFarlane Of Chicago, who lately bought the Lone Star group, has also purchased a controlling interest in the Bland mill, which is to be enlarged and im- proved. w. s. McPherson of San FTanclsco continues as general man ager.
 Che Of the special students of min ing and metallurgy in the Arizona school of mines at the university. MT. Robert F. Luce of Yuma, has re- gently been called to take charge of the cyanide plant of one of the gold mines near Yuma. Mr. Luce has been giving special attention to the electrolytic deposftion of metals and in his new position expects to precip- tate the gold from the solution in cv- anade upon quicksilver when made one of the poles of an electric cur rent. This is substantially the meth cd proposed by Siemens.-T Tucson Star.

volved in the mining regions are too extensive and varied, and the trans portation question is too great for any combination of smelters in this coun- try Ito succeed. I don't think a single one of the Montana smelters ecu d possibly be induced to enter such a combination"
 A trust without the establishment mentioned would not be much of a factor in the smelting business.

The Chicago mining company has re- gently undergone a change, having passed from A. J. Pickrell and R. s. Sweet to MT. Morris and MT Elem ming, who hold a majority of the stock. The mill has recently run a 5O- ton lot of custom ore for the Storm Cloud mine, which plated SIS par ton. The Storm Cloud is owned by Fred Williams, and under bond to w. G. Press of Chicago. Scarcity of water will not allow MT. Press to operate his two-stamp prospecting mill on the Storm Cloud properties, which are To- cated F miles south of Prescott.- Courier.

A new hoisting plant, one of the most complete in this part of the country, on the Silver Trail mine, one of the properties of the Sun Dance company, has been completed. It is on the new main working shaft of this mine, which shaft is now down l5O feet from the collar of the shaft. This shaft is double-compartmen timbered and lined, with an tir-tight partition for air circulation. This shaft will be sunk to a depth of 1000 feet, without a cessation of work, levels being run every 100 feet. There is five feet of solid one in the bottom Of the shaft. This ore starts at the top 20 inches wide and gradually widens to five feet; the vein has widened to twelve feet between walls.
 As soon as the weather softens the mill will be started up, when the com pany expect to. crush 12,GC0 to 15,OOO tons of ore. per month. The company has purchased new wagon and tam. a very handsome rig, for hauling ore and concentrates and expects to put two more similar outfits on the road. The Sundance is one of our largest shippers of concentrates, having ship ped as high as 160 tons per month for several mOnths.-Courier.
