 The Pennsylvania X Arizona con- pany are shipping two carloads of high grade ore this week. They also ship weekly about twenty-five tons of concentrates, worth over S100 per ton. This company is experimenting with different processes of concentration and when they find the one most suit able to their ores they will erect large plant at their mine. Of the tests so far made the Hooper pneumatic concentrator is far ahead of the wet processes. The makers of this ma chine claim a saving capacity of over ninety-five per cent on any ores ex- cept oxides and chlorides. -Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 Superintendent Geo. H. Daily of the Henrietta mine was in Prescott, hay ing brought in a bar of bullion from the above mine. He informed the Journal Miner that the Henrietta is showing up better than ever before in its history. Since taking charge of the property Mir. Daily has sunk a new shaft, and at the l00-foot level he has run drift for 300 feet, open ing up an ore body extending the full length of the drift. There is about twelve inches of this ore body that runs from S70 to sl00 per ton in gold. There is still good ore in the old work ings, but this is all new ground and adds very much to the value of the property. Mir. Daily is running the mill right along, and the Henrietta may now be considered as having set tied down as regular producer of gold.
 Harston's two teams are now en- gagged in hauling ore from the new strike in the old U. $. mine, Cooper Basin. This mine belongs to Mir. Loomis and is being worked under lease by w. B. Moore and Bert Grove. The property is located on the Skull Valley slope, about twenty-two miles from Prescott. The last ore brought in was a lot thrown over the dump under the mistaken impression that it was of little value. It was, however, found to contain tifty.eight per cent lead and s25.2l per ton silver Devel- opment on the claim is said to have reached a depth of forty-tive feet, showing continuous vein of ore ranging in thickness from six inches to two feet. Drifting is now in progress from the bottom of the shaft.-Prescott Courier
 A couple of weeks ago a Mexican in the employ of the Philadelphia Min ing company at Dos Cabezas, discov- cred some ore croppings about one- quarter mile south of town on ground that has been gone over by prospectors for the last twenty years. A shaft being sunk on it unearthed an ore body fifteen inches wide and widen ing as they go down. The ore is rich, assaying as high as 200 ounces Tn sil- yer and some gold. A recent assay of the average value from samples taken across the whole vein showed that it ran about $50 per ton in silver and sl2 in gold. The strike has caused considerable comment and old timers are somewhat chagrined at this ore body having existed under their very feet for these many years without being discovered Range News.
 ''The most costly metal is gold, and silver comes next. That" said a chemist, lis what the average man would say if you should ask him, but he would be very far off the truth in- deed. Gold is worth $40 a pound and silver Sl3, but there are score of metals worth much more Chromium and tellurium cost for instance, S700 pound, and osmium and zirkon, which are used in the making of electric mantels, sl ,420 q pound, and rhodium and niobium are worth almost S2,700 Strontium's market price is S4,500; didymum is sS, 400 pound. Rubldim IS a metal worth sll 200 pound and vanadium is worth Sl3,O00. Above all these, however, gallium stands, 8 metal discovered in 1S45, pound of which, if it were procurable, would be worth s75, 300, or 22S times as much as a pound of gold, and 5,96l times as much as a pound of silver" ."-Ex.
 A mining deal of unusual importance even in this district, where big deals are common, was closed this week, whereby the control of the Smart, Pot ter, Great Western, November and Mansfield groups pass into the hands of an English company. In all there are forty-two claims in the various groups, all situated in the upper end of the Greenlee district near the San Francisco river. Some of the claims, notably those of the Smart group, are well opened up and show large bodies 4 T L.
