MINES AND MINING.

, Mrs. A. V. Kautz has force of mel employed on the Gopher mine. Sh IS having the property developed under her personal supervision.
 United States District Judge Rine , at Dover, Pennsylvania, has an
 nounced decision sustaining tn,
 Wilfely concentrating mine tabl'
 patent. Suits will now be filed
 against alleged infringers of tht
 patent in Chicago, San Francisco, Lo:
 Angeles, etc.
 The Copper Basin Gold & Copper
 Mining Go. has struck fine body oi
 sulphide and carbonate ore in a ter
 foot winze, sunk from their fifty-fve
 foot tunnel. The company is quite
 encouraged over this discovery, as the
 ore is coming in good and strong
 much sooner than was expected.
 Jules Baumann came in yesterday
 from the Baumann Copper Co. camp.
 He has number of men at work do
 ing assessment work on a humber of
 claims of the group. He says that
 splendid ore has been encountered in
 the shaft of the Arizona claims, al-
 though it is only down about fifty
 feet. In addition to the copper
 values the ore contains, a portion of
 it runs S30.0O in gold.
 The Union Gold Mining Go. which
 recently bought the Union and Lib
 erty mines in the Crowned King
 Basin has ten men at work, develop
 ing the property under the superin-
 tendence of John Luke, one of the
 former owners of the mine. A tunnel is being run on the vein which is in now 700 feet and is in good ore nearl all the way. The mine is very promising looking at the present stage of development. The ore car ries good values in three metals, gold silver and copper.
 When the Henrietta Extension Co. started work developing its property, and had reached a depth of about thirty-fve feet, the railroad survey ors came along and located the line directly over their shaft. On account of this they were compelled to start new shaft and it is now down about the same depth as the first one, and c. B. Snider, secretary of the con- pany, received word yesterday that they had two feet of good sulphurets in the shaft. The indications in the shaft as well as the surface indica- tions are very encouraging and the members of the company are confi- dent that in the Henrietta extension exist possibilities of making a mine equal or greater than the Henrietta mine.
 Capt. W. H. Hardy went out to Gold Road Monday and returned noon. He reports things | very lively out there. About twenty | men are at work. besids the mechan- ics who are installing the machinery. The new hoist is up and running, and | the work of placing the air compress pr which is to run the pump and air drills is being pushed with all possi- ble speed. Buildings for the accom- mediation of the men and for the pro- lection of the machinery are being erected. The main shaft on one of the mines is down 1S0 feet, where a flow of about 35,0OO gallons of water iaily has been encountered. Alto yether the Gold Road is making ,apid strides towards becoming one of he big camps of the county, and this n surprisingly short time, too, as it is only little over a year since the irst discovery was made out there. -Kingman Arrow.
 The eleventh annual report of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Go. ,nce more emphasizes the great value )f a low-grade, free-milling gold when the plant upon it is large to handle the ore in arge quantities. The property of the company is on Douglas island, Alaska, and its report of operations or the year ended May 15, 1901, has ust been made public. During the rear there were 457, SOP tons of ore an average of 1254 tons every twenty-four hours. The aver lge yield of the ore was S1.SS per ton, making the total product SS60, 737. The total working expenses, in- ,luding office expenses, amounted to s545, ,96S, leaving a net profit Of S352,- ,59. The cost per ton of ore, includ- ng every expense of mining, milling, ,ffice, etc, amounted to S1.926. There nave been extracted since operations began, 3,S02, ,133 tons of ore, yielding In aggregate value of Sl0,5Sl ,627, an lverage of S2.7S per ton. The total expenses were S4, ,979, ,961, an average ,f S1.31 per ton, leaving the total net profits S5,600,666.
 When the Shannon Copper com ,any gets to producing copper, the output of the Clifton -Morenci district will be S1 100000 per month, which is nore than the entire output of the Alondike country, says the Copper Era. The Klondike country is ,oomed in the newspapers from one nd of the earth to the other, but the Clifton Morenci district is seldom yer mentioned. The Klondike coun- " is on the decline while the Cliff n-Norenci district is just getting tarted.-Ex.
 The Copper Basin Gold and Cop ,er Mining Co. have two shifts at york developing its property in Cop 'er basin. They broke into the cap ,ing or dyke the other day and ob- aimed ore right on the surface which ave reasonably good values both in opper and gold.
 D. D. Mcdonald received a couple f samples yesterday from the Verde , fling mine at Jerome, which really xcited him and he is generally pretty s Ool on mining matters. One was a ( 'reat big piece weighing possibly wenty pounds, which will run seven , r eight per cent copper, and the 7 ther was smaller piece going be- i ween sixty and seventy per cent in opper. The company has already I un several feet into the same kind of re as the larger piece, while the mailer piece seems to be a small cam imbedded in the ore body. He avs the Verde King has reached a tage of development now where its j alue as mine is no longer in doubt. 7
