Mines and Minin0


{ time" We hope to be a hep, rather ! than detrinent, to every honest min ! CT we can reach. We will talk no mine
 up save on merit, nor shall we talk any
 mine down. We simply will try to let
 every man interested in mines or min ing enterprises, have all the news that i We can possibly furnish, as to what other miners are doing, either in Ari-
 zona or elsewhere.
 With this preface, we think it need ful to take some notice of the platinum excitement that is now attracting the
 attention of so many miners in Arizona and elsewhere. The facts, as thus far reported by some of the territorial pa pers, are as follows: A gentleman by the name of Sharpneck has discovered, ! somewhere on Cataract creek in Coco nino county, a wonderful and extensive deposit of porphyry, carrying fabu- lous amount of platinum. Now, no citizen of Arizona could possibly ob- ] ject to such a discovery It would be too good.
 Platinum is ranked among the royal
 metals, and the mines in the Ural mountains. that have heretofore pro duced at least three-fourths of the worlds supply, are said to be playing out. The increasing demand for this metal, on account of it's adaptability to electrical purposes, will cause and is already causing an advance in it's price. Also the diminishing supply from the Urals will surely accelerate it's upward movement.
 But it is necessary to have an article before we can sell it; and, after a most careful consideration Of the subject the Prospect feels compelled to state that so far nothing has been found to bear out the assertions of the Cataract platinum boomers.
 Every assayer in Prescott has tried his hand at it; the ore buyers at Fl Paso, Pueblo and Silver City have tested it; and none of them have sue ceeded in discovering even Q trace of the much coveted metal
 On the other hand it has been report ed and widely published that a certain man has written to certain man, tell ing him that another man had assayed the rock and found in it some $500 worth of platinum, S15 in gold and 9 per cent of aluminium to the ton of ore. Now, even if the other assertions were plausible. the claim of 20 per cent alU- mirum to the ton would prove it's fa's- ity for no assayer would take notice of 20 per cent of aluminium. The very ground we walk on everywhere is said to contain from 15 to 20 per cent of aluminium.
 While we are not prepared to say that there is no platinum in the Cata- ract region, this we will say, that Mir. Sharpneck is the only man that has claimed to have obtained a platinum assay, and. we have not yet seen that statement over his ignature.-Prescott Prospect.

THINKS IT A FAKE.
It is Clairaed That not a Trace of Pat inVJn has Been Found in Assays.

mum has Been Found in ASSay3.
 A writer in the Prescott Prospect who signs himself "One of the Fools" has the following to say regarding the platinum discovery in northern Ari- Zona:
 Arizona is always ready to furnish some new entertainment for the ga 'ety Of the states-if not of the nations. She is original. if nothing else, and does things her own way. She save the world diamond excitement cnce. with the diamonds left out; or, rather, the diamonds that had been left out were very quickly gathered in. Now she furnishes platinum exciter ent, with the platinum left out.
 They tell us that a new city has been started somewhere on Cataract c-sek, and that hundreds of people who were Overlooked by the fool killer are fall ing over themselves and each ether trying to buy acres and miles of i.me- stone, thinking it to contain platinum; yet no one has seen even a penny weight of that metal produced from the region.
 If a man buys horse, he is reason ably certain that he gets a horse and not a COW; but, it seems. when men buy platinum they do not ask to see it; they will take any old rock you choose to give them. All you have to do to get a purchaser is to print a letter in 2 newspaper. unsigned, but purporting to come from somebody to somebody -+G ole T $500 or s400 worth of platinum in the rock, and there you are.
 Prescott miners. who are generally as quick as any in catching on to a new thing. have visited the supposed platinum deposit and have brought back quantities of what was represent cd to be the very best ore, and have had it carefully tested by three well known home assayers, besides by Bur lingame, of Denver. also by the Silver City. Pueblo and Fl Paso smelters. yet none of these have found so much as a trace of platinum, but we are told that stock in these mines is being sold at $50 a share, and the excitement has already spread to Chicago, Ne" York and Boston.
 This would be Imaginable if it were not so pathetic, fer when one thinks of the poor man or, perhaps, the poor widow, who. led by false representa- tions. invests the savings Of yeaTs in this swindle, hoping to secure a com petence and reaching the poor house instead, it is not so much of a laughing matter.
 How easy it would be to hove some tests made before buying. But, no, the tests would cost $1O or so: and you would have that much less money with which to buy stock.
 I write this to save others, if possible, from my own experience.

two Apaches. This will be followed by the realistic fight between Pimas and Apaches, bows and arrows being used. There will also be running races between the Pimas, Maricopas and Apaches, followed by an Apache Indian tug-of-war on horseback. Music will be furnished by the colored min strels. the wild Indian band and the Phoenix Indian school band.
 Don't forget the programme tonight at Lightburne plaza. It is music car nival night, participated in by all the bands under the directorship of Prof. Coke. The spectacular repre- sentatiOn of the attack on Sutter's cabin vii be something worth seeing. The on- slaUght of the Indians. the capture of the whites and the narrow escape of the settler after being bound to the stake after the heaped up fa3gots had been lighted, will give an object lesson, teaching the people of today the price at which this country was rescued from it's primitive condition.
 The race at the race track this after noon will begin promptly at o'clock. The committee having the race in charge issued a notice last night to the effect that all horse owners having horses entered must be in readiness promptly at 12:3O o'clock. so that there may be no excuse for delay.

MINING NOTES.

Arthur E. Crepin is still located at the Columbia shelter, on the Sonoita, where he has been in charge since the fall of 1897. There is some prospect of the snelter at Patagonia being oper- ated, possibly by January l. Mir Crepin expects to be in Tucson any day. Star.
 Machinery for the mill at the Hard shell mine has arrived. Everything will be in readiness to start up by the 10th of December, says the Star The mill has a capacity of forty tons every twenty-four hours, making about ten tons high grade ore concentrates, be- sides from five to ten tons straight shipping day. The HardsheH has de- veloped into a bonanza under R. F. Richardson's indomitable pluck and the able management of MT. J. c. Smith Of Tucson, superintendent. For years to come the HardsheH will be one of the greatest producers in the Pata- Fonia mountains and it is safe to say the Pride of the West group will not oXreed in the output as to dollars and ceEta. ZIr. Richardson is owner of Property which had been condemned by q number of so-called mining experts, and he is entitled to much credit for s;a.i .ins with it.
 A. ". Adkins, of Adkins Bros, Cal Win. Pinal county, was here yesterday purchasing goods for their store at that place on the Gila, six miles from the Ray mines, says the Tucson Star. The big smeIter at Calvin will be erected very shortly, said MT. Adkins. He added that there are about $50 men working at the mines and in Calvin. There is a tri-veekly stage running from Tucson to Calvin. Q distance of eighty-twO miles.
 Work on the Cold Cliff mines at Pearce is to be resumed. The company has arranged to do some extensive work and mining superintendent from Coi- orado will arrive in Q few days to take charge Of the development worli.-Pros- pector.

THIS IS A BUSY DAY.
Filled With Interesting Events From
 Morning Till Night.


 Today is one of the big days of car
 nivaI week. It will be filled with en- 1 tertainment for the masses from 10 1 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock ] in the evening. The forenoon events will be held uptown. After the i2 o'clock lunch everybody will go to the
 race track a short distance south of the city limits and witness the horse racing and the cowboy tournament events, such as relay races and flag picking.
 The fire department is rightfIlly the pride of the people of Phoenix. No city in the whole country boasting no | larger population can point to a fire department as well equipped as this. The very latest apparatus drawn by nicely trained horses places the department on a high plane of efficiency. The exhibition given this forenoon by the department will not only be interesting, therefore, because of what is being done but from the element of local pride that enters into it. So hearl5en to the programme here repeated.
 At 10 o'clock this morning an alarm will be turned in from the corner of Fourth street and Jefferson. The ap- paratus used is the Gamewell system. owned by the municipality. The fire engine, hook and ladder and hose wagons. drawn by the fire department horses. will respond. The blaze will, in fact. be started on Lightbdrne plaza, in the middle of the exhibition ground, and the operation of extinguishinG il can be viewed most satisfactorily from the seats of the grand stand. No ad- mission will be charged. Anybody who so desires can secure the seat of his or her choice at pleasure. The guards of the carnival association will be on duty as usual. in order to prevent any confusion or accidents and will aid the flremen in every way possible. The fence irclosing the exhibition grounds on the south will be opened to admit the fire department teams to get to the blaze and the operation of pouring water and chemicals upon the flames will be an interesting sight.
 This sight having been witnessed the crowds will be able to make their way leisurely to the city hall where the balance of the exhibition features will be held. This will include a hose race. in which men will be pitted against horses. and an exhibition of climb ing an adjoining building with fire apparatus. Washington street will be closed to traffic for a distance of sev- eral blocks by means of ropes, 50 that vehicles may not interfere with the programme.
 While the crowd is at Lightburne plaza the Albuquerque band will render some of its choicest music.
 The programme at the race track in the afternoon will be a good one. The three-eighths running race will be an exciting and spirited affair. The en- tries to this race closed at g o'clock last night, some very swift horses hay ing been entered. The entries are as follows: Look Out, My Boy, Easter and Mary Nance.
 The grand society ball at O'NeiH hall Friday night ought not to be forgotten The management of this gorgeous af- fair has been turned over to the social committee by the carnival association
