A Heavy Increase In Copper Pro-
ducti0n OF Lake Superior Mines

Irlmountaln .....................
These SO stamps have each a maximum
capacity of 500 tons daily. In 800 days
they will be able to stamp 1850, 10000 tons
of rock. and if 1t averages to contain
l per cent copper the aggregate increase
in the output of the Lake Superior dis
tricts will amount to 99.000,000 pounds
annually. This would provide for an
increase Of over sc per cent over last
years production.
OF course allowance must be made for
disappointments and delays. 1t is quite
generally believed that in the case of
at least two of these new mines the his
tory of Arnold. Arcadian and Delaware
will be repeated. 1t would seem. there
fore. that it is conservative to figure
that the output Of the Lake Superior
district in 1902 will be at least 50,000 900
pounds greater than it was in the year
1900. This will be an increase of about
II per cent each for the years 1901 and
1902.
Statisticians have figured that the
worlds output of copper increases on
an average of about 10 per cent yearly.
In the past three years the increase has
not been greater than per cent an
nually. The increase from 1890 to 1900
was approximately 100000 tons. an av-
the same ten years the output of the
Lake Superior district averaged an in
crease of less than 5 per cent annually

A rich ore shoot in the east drift of
the Amador, on Iron mountain, is -.
ported. Some of the ore is far ahead Of
level of the claim.
Superintendent McCurdy expects to
get out and ship three cars of it before
the end of the month. With that in
view little stopping has been done. 1t
Is the first that has ever been done in
the property. One carload of shipping
ore was taken out in development work.
William Mitchell. who has come from
the property, says that a tunnel was ruin

OF the creek. From that winze wa

Where the creek crosses the.g ledge
there is an abundance of ore on the SUI
face. There has never been any, doubt
in the minds of, the stockholders who
have seen the property that when the
lower level reached the creek they would
have plenty of ore. The face of the
drift at the present, however, is 100 feet
short of being under the creek, and great
things are hoped for in running that dis

James A. Murray Has Some Specimens
That Promise Great Future
for Mine,

The shaft on the Gem mine. north of
the .,peculator. has reached depth of
700 feet and is still going down. The
property is being worked by James A.
Murray and Henry L. Frank, who have
spent about $4,000 in it's Development
In view of the fact that the ore bodies
of that section are deep. it is the in
tention to keep the work going until the
value of the mine is determined.
Last evening Mr.. Murray exhibited
two chunks of solid copper glance which
came from the Mountain Chief mine near
Meaderville. The property has been
worked in desultory way for many
years and some very rich ore mas been
takn from it. Mr.. Murray has an i'm

WORKING THE CABINET QUEEN

The Cabinet Queen Mining company
has resumed work on it's property on
Grouse mountain, IA miles, from Troy,
FIathead county, this state. The Cabinet
Queen was formerly known as the Little
Spokane, but through a consolidation of
interests the name was changed. The
claims of the company are the Little
Spokane, Cabinet Queen and Little
Butte. There are two leads on the Lii tie
Spokane, one of which is from three to
five feet wide; the other is smaller.
About 300 feet Of tunneling has been
done on the Cabinet Queen, and In this
work the lead has been exposed fully 100
feet.
The ore is principally golena. btey

are found in it. The iron carries some
gold. The ore Of the small vein carries
better quality fgalena than that Of

According to the Railway Age, pre- liminary arrangements have been com pleted for the sale of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road to the Atchi- son, Topeka X Santa Fs. The stock holders of the $. F., P. & P. will meet at Prescott, November 2i, for the purpose of considering the proposition of the Santa Fe.
 Just what action will be taken in the matter remains for the future, but it is the general belief that the deal will go through. Nothing, however, is know n at the local offices of the road.
 The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix company, including the Prescott & Eastern, operates 224 miles of road. It earned in the year that ended on June 30 last $956, ,000, as against s087 ,000 in 1900.

Capt. Colbert Says Roosevelt's Boys Could Always Borrow His Money

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 20.-Capt. w. C.. Colbert, deputy sheriff in the Chicka- saw Nation and rough rider with Col. Roosevelt, is here visiting clergyman relative Three years agohe was lying on the field of San Juan Hill, with four bullets holes through his body, one of them through his left lung The surgeons looked at him when he was brought in and passed on. They said attention to him would be merely taking their time from someon whom they might save; that his case was hopeless
 But did live, didu't IF" said the ex-captain last night, and the big six foot man laughed AS he told how it all happened. You bet think whole lot of Roosevelt" said he. "The doctors had done nothing at all for me when he came along and asked me what was doing there. suggested that he pall down the sheet and see He did so, and five minutes later you ought to have heard the picturesque language with which he addressed those surgeons. They visited me twice day after that"
 Colbert laughs when hespeaks about the army discipline that existed il Roosevelt's regiment. "I guess ther, wasn't much, " said he. "The men had come in to fight and it was hard tt make them take kindly to anything else. Manyis the time have seen tn, enlisted men come into the colonel tent and tell Teddy, as they callet him, that they were going uptown ant ask to borrow some money, and the, always got it, too"

THE Mining Reporter mentions a matter of much importance to prospect ors when it says:
 Assessment work must be performed on an unpatented claim. It is no ex- cuse for the owner to say that he paid some one else to do the work and that the latter failed so to do, even although he made an affidavit that the assessment work had been done, The claim is subject to relocation and the new locator cannot be deprived of his possessory rights acquired through valid location and the negligence of the former owner. The letter's sole remedy is against the dishonest employee. As rule, the man employed to do assessment work has no re- sources, so that practically speaking the de- frauded employer has no remedy.

IT can be said to the credit of the big railroad magnates that they all favor a national system of irrigation, and that they have some influence no one can deny. While in Salt Lake the ottier day George J Gould gave 1t as his opinion that what IS most urgently needed, not only in Utah but through out the arid States of the West. is tue estab ishnent of immense reservoirs for storing water to be used in reclaim ing great areas in the valleys aud deserts. This, he said, would solve the question of irrigation, and to ae- complish this end all the arid States should work together.
The Florence tribune., 1901-10-26

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos. in Arizona. because this im- provement would not only bring under cul- tivation large area of arid land for the use of white settlers. but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in a starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of ofirriga- tion sn large scale, but also an act of mercy and justice.-ILos Angeles Times Editorial. Feb. 12, 1901.

President William Garland of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway, as1 Mr. l. McAvoy, Southern Pacific engineer. from Tucson, left Solomon vile Sunday on horseback, accom- panied by Charles F Solomon, to go over the proposed route for new rail- road from Solomonville to Clifton, say s the Bisbee Review Mir. Garland has already gathered sufficient information concerning the possibility of fsuch line, and there is little doubt about the road being built, which will make of Solo monville an important railroad center. Itis believed that the local traffic alone between this valley and the mining country in the east part of the county would justify the building of this road, which would be less than forty miles in length.

ALL the big mines of Tombstone are united under the name of the Tomb stone Consolidated Mining Company, Limited, with Mir. Frank M. Murphy as president and Mir. E. E Gage as general manager The four-compart- rnent shaft has nearly reached water level and the big pumps are on the ground. Arrangements have been made for railroad from Fairbank, and reduction works will be at the mines The TRIBUNE predicts that Tombstone will be the most important mining camp in the territory within three years.

The evident intention of the Santa Fe and Rock Island, and rivalry be- tween those companies, to build through Florence and up the Gila, thus tapping the mineral region about Riverside and on lower Mineral Creek
 have spurred Mr. Garland and his com pany to action. At any rate there is a good prospect for the G. ", G. & N
