"A GREAT ENTERPRISE
The Greene Consolidated Copper Mining Co. aud it's Wonderful Wealth in the
 Canancas.

The observer visiting the great Ca nanea copper mining region of Sonora, in the northern part of the Arizpe district, not far south from the inter- national line near Bisbee. noting the extensive improvements made In the past two or three years in the way of mine development, construction Of heavy machinery aud road building aud the further improvements con- templated aud now in hand in the way of additional and larger macbin- cry, rail way and numerous labor saw ing devices, surveys the wonderful surface indications, on every side for miles of immense copper deposits, inspects the great bOde of high grade ore already developed in the underground workings in numerous mines, and is informed that the Span iards worked these deposits protitably for the crown two hundred years ago, and their richness has ever since been known, wonders that the region remained so long neglected. or late years number of attempts have been made to work these extensive deposits, but for one reason or another they proved failures. Finally the persist ence ard energy Of one man, MT. w. c. Greene, turned the attention of capital to the tremendous oppOrtuni- ties offered, and the result of his work has been the Greene Consolidated Copper Company and the Cananea Consolidated Copper pany-the first an American corporation. the other incorporated under the laws of Mexico tall the stock of the Cananea Consolidated O. is owned by tue American incOrpOration) owning and operating no less than sixty proper ties, extending distance of about eight miles, and including many per tenencias of valuable mining ground In all these claims more or less deyel- opment work has exposed large bodies Of high grade copper ores, with every indication of permanence aud depth. Every visitor is impressed with the extent of the ore bodies and she mag nitude of company's operations.
 At present four of these properties are producing ore which goes to the cOmpany's reduction works at La Ca nanea; but when the extensive addi- tions to the reduction plant now ordered are completed, together with the railway connecting the mines and smelters, the ore bodies now in course of development in all of these mines will be drawn from, aud the output of copper will reach an amount which will make the Cananea region the greatest producer of the red metal anywhere in the known world.
 Beside the Greene Consolidated Copper Co. another company in the region IS producing cOpper-La Demo- crata-and third, the Indiana Sonora Copper and Mining Go. will be doing so by another year. But of the work and properties of those compan- ies, space will be given at another time)
 Recently THE OASIS man spent nearly week looking over the Cana nea mining region, visiting many of the mines and inspecting their ore bodies. Of course the examination was cursory, and but small part of the development was seen. To visit all points of interest would require

 THE EsPERANRA MINE
 was originally opened by two tunnels, ttle lower one of which connects with the workings from the l50 foot level from the shaft, following one gallery directly into the mountain, the face thereof being one thousand feet from { he mouth of the tunnel. and the work of penetration upon this line is still continuing into the mountain, to determine what there may be beyond
 The other tunnel is l35 feet above and cuts the ore body ll5 feet below the croppings. In that tunnel the ore body cut is of the same width, nature and quality as that cut in the the workings below, run from the shaft.
 The Gsperanza shaft is 250 in depth, with two levels-the first l50 feet from the top, the other 250 fec. In the first level drift run from the shaft 355 feet cut body of ore which was l46 feet across to the footwall, all the way in good, sulphide copper ore running twenty-five to thirty per cent in metal. This is the working con- meeting with tue lower tunnel, and is being carried on into the mountain. Beyond the footwall ore is found in spots and punches. The heading is now about fifty feet beyond the foot wall. Upon the hanging wall breast fifty-hve feet wide was run distance of l5O feet to the right of the tunnel, and sixty feet to the left, the entire distance in ore of the same kind as that cut in the main tunnel. From the shaft second tunnel, double track, has been run at another angle and cut the same ore body at a dis. tance of l50 feet from the working, of the first, the two tunnels cutting the vein tiansverselY.
 Going down the shaft cut ledge sixty feet wide which was not touched by the workings above, and tunnel from the bottom of the shaft again cut the same ledge, both shaft and tunnel showing good sulphide ore yielding high per centage in copper. This tunnel follows the same line as the double tracked tunnel on the l50 foot level, and in d distance of 2j0 feet has cut another body of good ore more than 100 feet wide, which it is believed will be proved Go be the sane body as that cut by the two tunnels n the 150 foot level.

The properties of the Greene Con- soli1ated Copper o., are the C0bre Grande, Veta Grande, El Copete. Es- peranza, Nina Grande, La Chvatera, R1nqnillo, Bryan, Linco,n, AIo Nuevo, Ll Suerte, Elisa, Elenita, Alfredina, Puertecitps, and many others, numbering all told some sixty Announcements. The
 COBRE GRANDE
 is one of the "antigua" mines of the region, and it's record is said to extend back to 1898. in which year, and through twenty-JwO su bsequent years. it was worked for the account of the Spanish crown. The old workings were "tajos," or open cuts, and never went to any great depth. These open cuts extend along the ledge for long distance aud were sixty tp eighty i've feet wide, and forty to sixty feet deep The ores were reduced in rude obe furnaces called "vasas," and the ruins from one of these are visible from the shaft house of the present workings. The ores were then worked for silver alone, which ran high in values near the surface and the copper went off h the slag dump, from one of which some eight thousand tons at the shelter site mentioned have been hauled to the reduction works of the Green Consolidated and run through, yielding twenty per cent copper.
 The present workings at the Cobre Grande consist of shaft POS feet in depth, two levels and about 2000 feet of drifts. Some distance away an other shaft is being sunk to cut the vein at depth of 300 feet, and will be used for working the mine in the depths below the present workings.
 Upon the 100 foot level there are 600 feet of drifts, the greater part following the strike Of the vein and opening several large bodies of copper ore of good grades. Upon this level there have been opened five stopes from which ore is daily going to the reduction works In an upraise thirty i've feet above this level there was developed a blanket overflow from the vein 140x5S feet, varying in thick ness up to ten feet, yielding ores which averaged l5 per cent copper and some silver.
 Upon the 200 foot level there are 300 feet of drifts with three cross cuts, thirty to forty feet, all in vein matter carrying more or less copper The ledge is wide, cross cut of sixty feet having failed to reach the foot wall. The ore bodies vary from six to forty feet, the narrower parts being lower in grade.
 The predominaJing ores in the Co., bre Grande are oxides and carbonates. Large specimens Of high grade oxide of copper, weighing several hundred pounds each, have been extracted, and there is also found native copper in leaves and sheets of very respectable size.
 A permanent working shaft to cut the ledge at depth of 800 feet is now being sunk and has reached depth of about 200 feet.
 LA vETA CYANIDE
 is now working in temporary shaft ll5 feet in depth, with about 1000 feet in drifts. The vein has been cut 125 feet from the footwall in ore all the way, without finding the hanging wall. In one stope there is breast of ore

cent In copper, and even higher. The writer saw many large specimens of several hundred pounds in weight each, which were of fully as high grade as the matte turned out by the furnaces.
 THE ELISA MINE
 Is about mile from the Esperanza, on the other side of steep ridge. The ores are brought around from the ridge by cars on an ordinary mine track, and sent down a tramway about 600 feet below to ore bins where wagons from the smelter can load.
 At the mine there Is a shaft now down about l75 feet and sinking. At a depth of min ty feet drift has been run on the ledge distance of between 800 and 600 feet, developing two ore bodies, one 225 feet long the other 250, separated by about forty feet Of ledge 1 matter. CrOsscuts show these ore bodies to be twenty to forty feet il width. The ores are sulphides yield. ing twenty-five per cent copper.
 At the upper end of the Elisa is a tunnel, with extensive workings which have opened up large bodies of ore. Taken altogether this mine is considered one of the best of the con- panys properties.
 Beyond the Elisa the properties of tho camnanv ovtand fo Dnartoo;f,a f, distance of five miles. Old workings, tunnels. etc, give evidence of richness that will prove these properties by development nmong the most valu- able of the company's holdings. De- velopment work is in course of vigor- ous prosecution all along the line.
 THE MACHINERY PLANT
 for hoisting, transporting and reduc- ing ores is as yet u embryo, but with al is at the present writing of no small consequence. Upon the various mines are seven hoists, each with capacity of sinking 300 feet. Four new steam hoists have been ordered which will sink 1000 feet each and two with capacity of POGO feet each, The ores are now hauled from the mines to the furnaces by teams, but construction of narrow guage railway is now in hand to connect the various mines and the shelter, aud It will be in opera. tion within six weeks. The railway Ail be about sixteen miles in length including spurs and sidings. The
 REDUCTION WORKS
 now include two Mitchell Econ- omic Hot Blast Furnaces the invention of Mir. George Mitchell, general manager for the Greene Con- soldated Co., each with fire cham. Der of 4Sxl2O inches, and daily ca pacty for treating POO tons of ore l (400 jo'intly). In performing this work the consumption of coke is about sixty tons daily.
 In tue power house are two 100 H.P. engines and one 60 II F. engine, running one No aud two No Con. nersville blowers. Another 50 HIP. engine runs the dynamo which SUD- plies power to the electric railway on the slag dump and light to the cleo. tric lighting system. The ores are fed to the furnaces as they come from the mines, rock breaker not belng requi- site, but one Is used to crush the matte which is sacked and shipped, shipments aggregating about fifty tons daily.

A BREWERY FOR PRESCOTT.
The Proposition Has Finally Been Set
 tied and Will Now Go Ahead.

The gentlemen who have been ir Prescott for several days from the Los Angeles Brewing company, try ing to arrange for the building of a large brewing plant here, have finally succeeded in all arrangements and have ordered tine machinery for the plant.
 During a former visit here they sampled the Del Rio water and found it to be of the best quality for their purposes, and also interested num- Der of our people in the enterprise, They went from here to St. Louis, where they were offered all the assis- tance they desired to ge aheal with the brewery, but they wished to have Prescott people interested as far as possible and returned here for the purpose of completing their plans.
 The JournalMiner was informed today by Jake Marks, who is largely interested in the new enterprise, that sufficient stock had been subscribed in Prescott alone to insure the brew cry complete success, and plenty of outside capital was waiting and anx- ious to take hand if needed.
 The plant will be large enough to supply the demands of the entire ter ritory if necessary, and will be built so that it can be enlarged just as fast as there is demand for it, and will be strictly modern in every respect, and only the best possible beer will be made and it hopes to supply this en- tire section with that product,
 The brewery will be located near the railroad, in the vicinity of Sam Miller's ranch, just at the edge of town.

Oil Notes.

Every day witnesses the location and incorporation of oil companies many of whom uever expect to drill a well or otherwise improve the claims on which they file.
 While there are a few companies who honestly intend to prospect for oil and improve the land, majority of them only expect to make money out of the scheme without giving any thing in return, and greater numbers expect to hold the claims until they find out whether those already in the field will strike oil and thus profit by the industry and enterprise of others Such people should be drowned upor and finan, ial aid accorded those who show an inclination to develop theil properties and the country.
 Several companies are already al work or have ordered we'll drills anC material with which to proceed.
 The Arizona Standard oil company was the first company in the field anC have already secured 1880 acres oi the most promising land in the val ley, and sunk their well to the capa city of their first drill, having placed heavier machinery with which to pro ceed deeper. This company anC others who show the right kind of en terprise should be encouraged by every resident, for it is well knowr fact that the finding of oil in this vi cinity will make Phenix a manufac turing and smelter point.-Enter prise,

MCKINLEY DECLINES.
Would Not Consider the Proposition of
 Third Term.

z IA dispatch from Washington June II, contains the following statement from President Mckinley regarding a third term:
 q regret that a suggestion for a third term has been made. I doubt whether I am called upon to give it notice. But as there are questions of the gravest importance before the ad- ministration and country their just consideration should not be preju- diced in the public mind by the thought of third term. I will say, therefore, now once and for all time, expressing a long settled conviction, that I not only am not and will not be candidate for third term, but would not accept the nomination for it if it were rendered me

MARKEI CONDITIONS,

The banking firm of Henry B Clews & O., of New York, give the following concerning market and stock conditions at present:
 "The speedy recovery in the stock market since the panic is an exhibit that is unique. The upward impulse received the support of leading local operators and outsiders are now again in the speculative arena. Orders from the interior centres have been or a large scale, but not in proportion tc the city operations. In some of the more active stocks, prices are approxi. mating the highest figures touched before the ante-crisis stage of the boom, and the expectation has appar- ently taken hold of the market that values are destined to still higher level.
 ''Two main causes lie at the root of this extraordinary upward drift of prices-the settlement of the North ern Pacific contest, and the indica- tions that further plans are being matched for alliances between compet- ing systems of railroad.
 "It is hardly necessary to note the hopeful conditions connected with the crop prospects, the prosperous condi- tion of home trade, the abundance of our exports and the closing of war conditions in the Philippines,
 "As matters now stand, it is quite possible that values may rise still higher and may retain the artificial advance for some moderate time to come"

CHEAP DIAMOND AND SEAL SKINS.
Modest Claims Presented by Woman For the Loss of Her valuabIes
 In a Railroad Accident.

The recent burning of a baggage car and all its contents on the Sante Fe Pacific railroad recalls to mind an incident connected with similar oc- currence several years ago, in which a baggage car and its contents were destroyed by fire between Kingman and Needles. After the train had proceeded on its journey representa- tive of the railroad company went through the train and interviewed each passenger, taking their respect i've names and addresses, and request ed each one to make out a list of all the articles in their trunks or other baggage and forward it to the company at Topeka for adjustment. When the various lists arrived at Topeka one of them from lady giving her address in Chicago enumerated a seal skin sacque, a set of diamond earrings and a valuable diamond brooch as having been lost, the remainder of the articles, she stated, not being worth mentioning. She failed to set any price on these articles and the claim agent of the company was sent to Chicago tointerview her. Proceeding to the number indicated in the ad- dress given, he found a woman ans wering to the name given and the claim agent paved the way to the settlement, expecting a claim for sev- eral hundred dollars, by advising her that it was the policy of the company to settle without any litigation and dwelled particularly how much better it would be for her as well as the company if an amicable adjustment of the loss could be arranged between them, and requested her to place a value on the lost articles. After con siderable of a preamble in which she expressed her regret at losing the articles, &c., she said if the company would pay her Sl7.00 she would give receipt in full. The announcement of the price almost produced a serious attack of heart failure on the part of the agent, but he managed to sup press the surprise he felt and inquired if she had been at any personal ex- pense on account of the accident and on an intimation from her that $500 would pay for such incidentals the agent lost no time in paying her the cash, 5000, and taking her receipt therefor, averring afterwards that it was the cheapest bargain he had ever struck in the way of seal skin sacques and diamonds.
