 It is certain that in several weeks
 the Ray property will be sold by tine
 present owners, Steinfeld & Zecken-
 d0rf, to the Globe Minerals Explora- ticn company. In the last issue of the
 Engineering and Mining Journal a splendid article reports about the etfi
 cient and prosperous work done by the Globe Minerals Exploration con- pany under the direction of Alexander Hill in California, on the Iron Mclln- tain mines. These mines had been lying idle for years until Mr. Hill tock hold of them and developed one of the best copper mines in the west This IS almost guarantee that the Ray company mines will be just as speed fly developed and turned into big divi- dend payers as the Iron Mountain has done.
 Murray Innes has his shaft down
 
 feet down to 150 feet very high grade concentrating ore, occasionally large punches of pure glance running as high as 70 per cent copper. According to the dip of the ore body his vertical shaft has crossed the ore for oyer sey- enty feet. He intends to sink to the 20O-fOot level and then crosscut for both walls in order to ascertain the entire width of the ore zone Mir lnnes feels confident that it will take 400 feet to cross the ore body according to surface indications. His many friends in Globe hope that it be so. as they wish him the best of luck for the energetic and pushing work he has done so far.-Globe Times.
 SAN CARLOS COAL FIELDS.
 Stanley Butte mining district, which covers the coal fields mineral strip. cut from the San Carlos reservation, contains many promising mines. Per- haps in no other mineral district ill Arizona are the locations so universal Iy making favorable showing. It is believed that the development work new going on there will result within the next year in proving this to be one or the richest copper districts in Ari- zona. Copper seems to be the predom. mating mineral in all the claims which have been cut into, though much siI- yer and gold is also found A ship ment Of sixteen tons from one of the claims recently netted the owners the magnificent sum of $2,2S320 This shipment contained 1856 ounces of silver worth S1,107.22 The ore car rled about B per cent copper, or 523.?s 1 units, which gave a nst return of s. 59z.12 This was the first shipment of ore ever made from the Stanley Butte district and it certainly is a splendid 1 indication Of what may be expected | from that section. This district ..oy- CTS a strip which formerly was a part 1 or the Indian reservation, and the gov ernment would permit no work there !! pIlor to its segregation, which was | only finally ccnsummated last fail l Whoever is seeking meritorious con | pef properties would do we'll to make 1 an examination of the mines of the | Stanley Butte district Develc1ment 1 has only fairly begun here and with | every shct additional proof is given or [ lhe Na-ue of the camp. Among the | prominent owners now at tzwork are ". | J: Parks, JCnes 6 Porter, Knowles & Parish, Joe Bull, James SurreIl E r 1 Jams, Anderson Bros., Albert Warren and others. The district is heated | twelve miles south of San Carlos. from Wnlch place fairly good road leads 10 tAe mln1S. A railroad from San Car Ios to Stanley Butte mining district would encounter no serious obstacles III ding.-SoIcmonvilIe Bulletfns
 MINING NOTES.
 The following is samp.e of several letters received at this office d11rino the past month enquiring about cer- tain mining companies supposed to be Tn operation in this county:
 IT you can give me any information ID regard to the prospects of the Ari zona copper syndicate-as when it will 1 lkeIy get to producing copEer-you will confer a favor.'
 From the above we take it that inc anXicus enquirer has lately become 2 stockholder in the Arizona Conner sy1,- dlcate, which claims to be operaitino near Clifton. Large advertisements in New York papers, especially she Sun. Would leave the impression that the Arizona Copper syndicate was inst atfoot ready to. commence the making oI copper III large quantities. The latts are, however, that there is no plaht ot any kind in course of e-ec- Uion Dy dhe Arizona Copper syndicate III tHe vicinity of Clifton, and no min tAS camp exists by that name 10 Our knowledge. The Arizona Copper syn uicdbe may nave few prospects in Adt sectlon CT the county but they ara uoUhinS more When enough shares have been sold to eastern 'suckeT-s'' de1 work will probably be com with the possibility of event aaily unearthing some good mines Sclomonville Bulletin. Dave Allen, the pioneer of Harsbav and Washington camps, is in the citv as a witness before the land court in me case of the San Rafael land grant MT.
