mill and the machinery is all on the
ground and being set up. The mill
building is almost &C npleted-they
have several decD shafts and tunnels
and have been working fo~ eleven
months steady. This looks substantial.

I'VE would dearly like to see any and
everything that helps Arizona and her
| people encouraged, but the people at
the head Of This enterprise can't get Il
title cement from the All
IONA press, the people of Arizona ought
to, and your valuable paper can help
all legitimate mining efprises. OF
! course we admire your policy of kill
ing wildcat schemes, all honest people
will endorse you; but it is on conf
dent belief that the people back of the
Spenazuma company would not bend
| themselves to- any other than Ialr,
legitimate business. We trust for fair
ness sake and for Graham county's
you will not publish anything deroga-
tory to Spenazum9 company without
fair investigation. Tucson Citizen.
NEW COPPER QUEEN SHAFT.
The new three compartment shaft
that IS being sunk by the Copper Queen
company at Bisbse near the old Silver
Bear house is now down to depth OF
forty feet The Orb says it is the in
tention of superintendent Clawscn to
make this shaft a model one. The TIM
bering is to be of the best and the gal
lows frame is to be made entirely OF
steel and viii set on a solid stone foun-
datiCn and will not be connected with
the collar of the shaft in any way. BY
this means the settling of the SHAFT
timber will in no way effect the gal
lows frame and will therefore save con-
siderable trouble. AT present three
eight hour shifts of four men each are
employed in the shaft, and two wind
Iasses are used to, hoist the dirt. Pipe
is now being laid from tie Hol!1roC6
hoist to convey water TO the new shaft.
A small engine and boiler will be put
in next week as soon as the pipe line is
completed, and the fcrce of men in
creased. The collar of the shaft is
nearly 100 feet above that of the Hol-
brook.

Nj. Frank Judson, the correspondent
and special representative of the Min
ing Reporter of Denver, Colo, one of !
the leading mining wseklias of the /
United States, has come to our city to
write UP the copper belts of Tucson
and surrounding districts. He comes
highly recommended as a mining man
and writer, and proposes to under
take his arduous task tc give the many
readers of the Mining Reporter and the
public in general accurate data regard +
ing the copper resources of this terri
tory. This is very necessary work
and Mr.. Juison should have the hearty
cooperation of our mining and bust
ness men. He comes with legitimate
ana business disposition which de-
serves the approval and support of all
the citizens of Tucson. All he asks
is that he secure sufficient slrbscrip.
tons from the people to barely cover
The expense of this work. This is Ger
talnly generous proposition or the
part of the Mining Reporter and we
hope that he may receive the support
in this gcod work. We know thai we
have as rich and as extensive copper
fields within a radius of sixty miles of
Tucson as may be found anywhere N
he United States, only requiring cap
tai to develop and bring them within
easy reach of transportation or the
of Concentrators and smelter3
at the different camrs TO reduce the
>res so that the excessive cost of trans
OCrtation may not wholly consume the
margin of profits which developments
should yisld. There is no way in
which this may be accomplished more
easily than to encourage the careful
and thorough writing UP Of copper
districts as the Mining Reporter pro
poses to do.-Tucson Citizen.
