stick is then lifted back upon a swivel
swung around and the other end
brought up to the saws and finished in
the same way. The regulation timbe-s
for drifts are IL inches square, while
the shaft timbers are 12x14.
This mine is connected by a covered
way, partly underground, with the
splendid dry house at the Leonard. The
ore as it comes from this mine is
dumped into bin only a few feet
from the collar of the shaft. From this
bin it is loaded through chutes into
horse cars and hauled through a fine
covered way to the main dump ON the
railroad, a distance of probably $50
feet.
These three mines constitute one Of
the most valuable groups of copper
properties in the world. considering the
quantity of ore to be handled and the
expense OF handling. That is to say,
there is probably no mine or group of
mines producing the same quantity of
ore and employing the same number
of men that can show larger margin
of profit. The three mines produce a
total of about 1000 tons of ore per
diem, which is sent by rail to Great
Falls for treatment

ported in Good Form.
The managers of the Mountain Chief
and Blackwell Consolidated mines at
Homestake are in excellent spirits over
the outlook in these two mines. The
Mountain Chief has been developed to
depth of $50 feet and tine Blackwell 200
feet. The Mountain Chief is said to have
a large body of $40 ore, IL feet wide. In
places where it Is only three feet wide it
is said to run $40 to the ton, and there
are 1S-inch streaks which are reported as
carrying values as high as $53. The Black
well is a smaller mine, but it is said to
carry a higher grade of ore In this
mine the management reports a contin-
uous shoot of ore 300 feet in length aver
aging SIG to the ton, while the shoot
uncovered in the Mountain Chief is said
to be $50 feet in length. The mines come
together, forming a continuous ore body.
The company. Of which H. G Klenze Is
vice president and general manager has
neat and compact 10-stamp mill on the
property and expects to add 10 more
stamps In the spring. The Golden Crown
is another of the company's properties
adjoining the two named. This has not
been developed much yet, but the owners
are confidently expecting to uncover
large body of ore In it before long. The
company claims to have enough ore in
sight to run the mill year. This prop
erty is situated about eight miles south
of Butte. .Homestake, the nearest rail-
road station, is about three and half
miles from the mines.

Crushing Machinery.

Elsewhere herein, says the Mining and
Scientific Press, appears contribution
on THE Progress in Ore-Reducing Ma
chinery," which is a brief resume of adj
vancement in this direction during the
past so years. While all mining engineers
are agreed that the stamp as applied to
the crushing Of ores is not perfection
itself, still it is the most simple machine
in use for this purpose and it is doubtful
If it will be generally supplanted. That
rolls are superior to stamps for the crush
ing of heavily sulphureted ores which are
to be concentrated is generally under
stood, but that any one method of crush
ing ore of all classes will come into uni
versal use is doubtful, for the reason that
ores of various characters require differ
ent treatment. Stamps will probably not
be replaced by other devices for crushing
hard, free-milling gold ores or any ores
which do not slime abnormally and rolls
will come into more general use for
crushing heavily sulphureted ores, while
combination mill, including the ball
mill, will find its field of usefulness as
well.

Arizona, from what ] observed, has a
brighter future than Butte, Mont. 1t is
simply a question of the country, the de-
velopment of which has been neglected.
While a great number of properties are
being opened, the output of the Arizons
copper districts could be increased 10
times over.
1.-The principal mines are working full
time. The Arizona copper company $
mines are some of the active ones, and
will produce in the neighborhood of 20
600. 900 pounds of copper this year. The
Hughes-Shannon mines, which are ada
cent to those of the Arizona Copper COM
pany, will be in operation soon.
1.-The Metca1f mine of the latter COM
pany Is working in open cuts 600 feet
wide. The top has virtually been taken
off the mountain where this mine is lo-
Gated One man does the blasting for 40
shovelers.
'There are only four districts in Arizona
where copper is mined, but the produc-
ton, as compared with the limited area
under development, is immense.
1.-The growth of the copper mining in
dustry in Arizona is shown by compar-
ison of the production of the leading
mines during the years 1893 and 1898.
1.-The Arizona Copper company produced
in 1893 ISL, S19 pounds. and in 1898 $780,
O9G pounds. The production of the Cop
per Queen in 1893 was 10, 795.61S pounds,
and in 1893 80. 749. 800 pounds. The Detroit
produced 4942,72s pounds in 1898 and H.
42S,9e2 in 1888 The production of the
United Verde in 1893 was ,146 pounds,
and in the year 1893 42,32s ,926 pounds.
1.-THE total production of copper during
the period mentioned increased from 43,
1865 pounds to 11OS23,ss4 pounds. This
year the production is expected to reach
140. 900 pounds.

Speaking of the future of copper min

the copper districts of Arizona and says
that the territory has more copper than
