VALUATIONS RAISED
On the Mines of COchiSe County Some of the Properties Raised
 MiEI!OES.

The board of equalization of Cochise county are trying to
 raise the property valuations of
 the county from about S3, 900, GOO
 to about 5000, ,OOO. This they
 propose to do by bringing the
 assessments of the mines up to
 somewhere near the rated valua-
 tiOn of the holdings. Hereto fore the mines have been lightly taxed on nothing more than 8 part of their improvements, with something added on patented claims. Every producing mine in the county has been raised. On the Copper Queen at Bisbee, the principal copper producer of Arizona, the raise is S, 900, 900 above its former assessment of less than half a million A much milder raise was beaten by the company last year in the courts on account of the insufficiency of notice given. The Common wealth mine at Pearce,. reputed the best gold producer of the Southwest, has been raised S1, GOO, 900. In hearing before the board Superintendent BrOckman admitted that the mine had pro- duced millions, but stated that at present the ore worked carries only S7.50 a ton in gold; that the cost of mining and milling is S5.50, and that the mill capacity is 175 tons a day, thus giving a margin of only $350 a day. The Calumet and Arizona mine at property that has been sold lately for S550, GOO, and that has just sold $1,OO0, GOO in stock at a premium, has been raised S1 ,O00, coo. The Lowell and Ari- zona mine in the same camp has been, raised S5O0,O00, ard other companies are on the list. It has been reported that the su- pervisors of Yavapai county will adopt the same course. The en- tire assessment roll of the terri tory at the present time is only 'S33, 00r, ,000.

The worlds record for cheap milling of gold ore is held by the Spanish mine near Washington, Neuada county, California. Dur ing one month af the year 1899 it milled $40 tons of ore at a cost of: for labor, 13.3 cents; supplies. 10.6 cents; total, 23.9 cents per ton. At the same place mining cost 34.6 cents per ton. Total, mining and milling, 58.5 cents.

A civil engineer of Tamatipas, Mexico, thus writes of the as phaltam deposits of that district "All along the interior margins of the Laguna Madre, Morales, and along the rich region in the vicinity of Soto La Mariana clear to the port of Tampico, rich beds of chapopote, or asphaltum are encountered. In some beds the asphalt is of @ dark chocolate character and in somewhat liquid form, while at other places it is found of an ebony black color, in a compact, solid form, resem- bling coal. Judging from the sur face appearance of these depos- it's it is to be supposed that they are indicative of deposits of as phalt and petroleum. With a little engineering work the inte- rior course of these deposits could be easily ascertained. Tine visible surface seepages are of such large proportions as to in dicate Shat they are but the out lets of immense deposits of as- phaltum and oil."

Two assayers of Mexico City, while making an analysis of some samples of argentifefous lead sent them from the state of Guerrero, found the samples contained considerable quanti- ties of bismuth. In some of the samples the percentage was as high as 16 per cent. Bismuth, we are certain exists in quite large quantities in Yuma county. It is a metal of a yellOwish or reddish white color, is harder than lead and so brittle as to be reducible to a powder. Bismuth is highly valuable.
