Assessment Work Pointer.


 Under the above caption the Pros pect has this valuable fact to sub- init:
 The requisite assessment work for a group of contiguous or adjoining claims can be done on any one of them if the work on the claims thus associated can be shown to be bene- ficial to all-that is it must mani festly tend to the development of all the claims in the group. The aggre- gate amount of the expenditure or money or labor on one claim for thls annual assessment must equal in val ue that which mould be required on all the claims if they were not adJolnlnS or if under separate ownership.
 Supplementary to this, another nice question arises. It is understood that if you begin your assessment work on the last day of Ihe year and fo!iow It up continuously until completed you do not forfeit your location rights. Now if you are doing assessment work on a group, a subscriber of the Review wants to know if you can work one claim one day, another the next and then go back to the hrst claim until all the assessment work IS done. There is no question, but what ne can do this, but it is equally appar- ent that he forfeits his rights in the group while doing it as the work IS not continuous on any one claim and the government has no assurance that he will resume work on the first claim. On the other hand if he continues work

TERRITORIAL MINING.

Daniel Doherty who. with Martin Anderson and Leon Walz. own and are operating the COmstOck group of claims between the east brancl of the Hassayampa and Ash creek, three miles from Palace station, was in Pres colt on Wednesday, having assays made Of samples of his ore. The Con- stock group has been worked but two months. There are four claims on one lead, which has been opened up in places for g distance of 5000 feet, ex- posing a continuous ore shoot between pOrphyry and granite. Ore from a To- foot hole shows values of S49.S0 per ton. From 14-foot hole on the same ledge a sample assays S15.64. Aver age samples taken clear across the 3k foot vein give values to the amount of S12.34. MT. Doherty is nat urally well pleased with the result of these last assays and will seek to in terest eastern capital in his property. with view to development on a large sca'e.
 The White Cap group of twelve claims, in the Vulture district. and less than two miles west of the Angel property. are making a bid for notice from a section that has been pretty quiet since the shutting down of the famous Vulture mine. The White Cap is being worked by the newly or ganiZed Illinois Copper company. The company was fortunate in striking pay ore at grass roots. and the first five feet of shaft produced over two tons of high grade silver-copper ore If de velopment proves the continuity of such ore. ether reighborhood mines will have no mean rival.
 The Pay Rock mine. Green Valley mining district. is making good it's name. A shaft has been sunk 200 feet with drifts each way fifty feet The vein is three and ole-haif feet wide. the pay streak varying from six inches to the width of the vein. Ore tested when the property was bonded milled S3S in gold The mine is situ- ated about three miles from Payson, adjoining the we'll known Golden Wonder.
 Work .4as again commenced on the Lincoln mine of the Hudson group The, north shaft is down twenty feet showing three feet of ore. The vein is over five feet in width and crops out for sxty or seventy feet, showing ore. A large porphyry dyke crosses the north side of the shaft, running easterly and westerly, and showing copper pyrities with a considerable sprinkling of chlorides. This ore on the surface assays from fourteen to sixteen ounces of silver; and $4 to SIP in gold. The ore also has good show ing in galena and zinc.
 The Lincoln mine shows good sized veins of ore in three places. In shaft No. 2, south 300 feet from the tunnel is body of ore eighteen inches in thickness from the surface, with the vein averaging five feet in width. An other vein has just been opened 400

 MT A. J. Doran. formerly of Pres colt, but now with the Nighthawk Mining company, was in the city the first of the week enroute to Santa Maria to make an examination of the Waters mine and mill From there he will go to Los Angeles to arrange for milling plant for Nighthawk Al though several hundred thousand dol- lars have been expended on this prop erty whose ore carries pay values, the mill has not turned out successful ly, but the owners look confidently for a change in luck in MT. Doran's hands.
 Minor Notes
 Eleven sacks of mighty rich ore was the record Thursday of the strike at the Model mine. Superintendent Felt was in the city during the week with samples
 There must be something doing down in Eugenia gulch. Last Tuesday the Sam Hill hardware company, Pres colt. shipped to the Alta Mining con- pany one of its up-tO-date hoists. Bakersfield is to have another smeGt- ing works with capital behin0iA of two millions. Oil is to be used as 1 fuel, all modern improvements install ed and bid made for Arizona ores. Thompson and Copp are shipping an average of a car lead of ore a week from their Virginia porperty in the 1 Burro mountains, New Mexico. to the Val Verde smelter. This ore is speci- ally adapted to fluXing purposes.
 The Guaymas Consolidated smelling and Refining company have completed all the preliminary work of obtaining conces ssions and the work of surveys and grading for camps is under way. Two stacks. one for lead and one for copper and each with capacity of 150 tons of ore. will be erected at once
 A remarkable specimen of native copper was taken recently from the Cananea mine of the Green COnsoli dated Copper company. It weighs forty pounds. is about three and one-hali feet long and some eighteen inches wide, thin and irregular in shape. The copper evidently was melted by vol canic heat, the metal running into crevices of native rocks.

Over 120.000 men are engaged in mining. in Mexico. whose daily salar- ies place il circulation at least S300,- 900. The production of the mines of Mexico is reported to be and pays taxes on S130.000.000. part of which is exported in bars and part coined. according to fiscal statistics. Added 10 this the production of coal and iron. and the gold which crosses the frontier without going through the cus- tom houses. it may naturally be pre- sumed that the total production of minerals is not less than S150,000, 900 per annum.-Tampico Owl.
 Acting Governor Manuel RiverO. in his message to the Nuevo Leon state legis- ature. state that S1S.000 900 worth of ore was the product of the mines of the state during the fiscal year which ended June 30. 1902. This ore represents gold. silver and lead. Nuevo Leon is one of the richest in the republic in minerals and it is be- ieved by many that in a short time the output of ore will be doubled. The message also shows that there was an increase of s3.07S in the popula- tiol of the state during the period re- ferred to. making the total popula- tion 3S4,S15.-Sister Republics.

 Sonora Placers
 A Texas company, with Barnett Gibbs of Dallas, as manager, has de- nounced 1.20O pertinencies of placer ground situated twenty-two mics from Magdalena, and only three miles from the Sonora railroad. The deal was made through the brokerage firm of Monte Verde and Gold baum of Her mosilla. and was for S125, 900 gold.

Modern.

Since the mention of the high grade gold ore from the Modern some days ago, the drift has been driven p feet. The only change as shown by a fresh batch of samples at the office yester- day, is that the abundance of silicati which constitutes the body of the first mentioned specimens is giving way to high grade copper Copper and schist being encountered in abund- ance The ore last exhibited at the company's office, carries approximate ly the same values in gold and silver as those described in the Review last week. T he drift is supplied with brisk stream of water which is reliev- ed by the tunnel but when sinking below this level it will be necessary to install pumps. Messrs Harsha and Briggs were in from the property day before yesterday and are very en- thusiastic over the progress of the drift and what it shows up at every step.

SUGGESTIVE
 STATEMENT
COPPER GLANCE HAS FOUND WA.
 TER ONLY THUS FAR
Review Reporter Interviews Mining Man Who Talks About High
 Grade Ores in Mine Around Here

A gentleman for long time in the employment of the Copper Glance, stat ed to Review reporter last night, that the main shaft on that property Is in water, but no ore has as yet shown up, and that it would be no source of disappointment to the Glance people if it did not appear un- der 1000 feet or did not appear at all as it was the object of the con- pany to get the shaft in country ground and reach the ore by drifting. This detail is known to be emineEtly true. yet they are liable to be in ore at any moment The same party as serts what any observer knows to be true that there is mine on top of the ground worth millions, be- ing sufficiently extensive to wear out a dozen smelters. The same party claims to be familiar with the most important features of the three great copper mines on the coast and has this to say regarding them:
 The Copper queen carries the highest grade copper ore in the ter ritory. averaging S5s per cent besides important other values. The united Verde averages 71a. while her extraor- QlnarN EocllIl0S TUT iCdStluS anu i0 duction gives her great advantage of many higher grade properties. The Cananea mines." he claims, crowds 14 per cent with a1 ore belt GOO feet wide. but uncertain below 200.' He claims that. conceding that the Can anea mines run only 200 feet deep, they still constitute the largest and highest grade body of copper ore ever discovered He says $3.50 per day is a slim inducement for American min CTS where a suit of blue duck costs more than a Sunday go to meetin suit does in the United States. Re verting to the Copper Glance district he paid high compliment to the Rails property just south of the Glance, which though slightly developed shows up amazingly on the surface. He pro- poses to do something in the line of placer work down in that section in the near future, placer gold being in evidence in nearly al the gravel on the slopes of those favored hills. We pub fish these opinions for what they are worth but the party never stuttered when he delivered them.

SISC0 MURDER CASE
Continued Crowd in Court
Room Searched-Prisoner
Returned to Henderson.

Friday Geo NJ. Sisco, the alleg.
cd murderer of Miss Bertha vii.
Hanson, came To this city to con.
suit with his attorneys. He arri-
we'd on the noon train and return.
ed to Henderson on the afternoon
train. His appearance here crea-
ted some excitement, but no dem.
onstration whatever WAS made. A
large crowd gathered to see the
prisoner as he was taken from the
law Office to the depot. Grover
Brown the murdered girls lover
and escort on the fatal night was
in town. 1t was reported that he
openly declared his intention to
kill Sisco and went to the depot
armed with a shotgun ready TO at.
tack the prisoner These rumors
could not be substantiated, how
ever. Brown made no effort what.
ever to injure Sisco. Perfect or.
der prevailed. Deputy sheriff
Flanary went to Henderson and
brought Sisco to the city and re-
turned with him.
Tuesday Sisco was again
brought to this city to appear in
court. AS expected, the case was
continued by the defendant. The
case attracted widespread atten.
ton and large crowd was in town
The court room was crowded when
the case was called. The Judge
ordered that every person in the
court room should be searched.
After this precaution was taken,
Sisco was brought into the court
room. He appeared nervous and
was evidently afraid that violence
would be attempted. Both sides
have a great number of witnesses
The prisoner was returned to Hen
derson on the afternoon train.
The case was set for the 7th day
Of the March term of court.

THREE RUFFIANS
Took Charge Of tho Press Office
Friday Night.

The manager o: the Press had
somewhat exciting experience
Friday night while at work in his
office. Three drunken ruffians
gained admission under pretenss
of desiring some stationery print.
ed. With the doors locked, the
window curtains drawn, they held
high carnival for over an hour and
a half. Walker was completely at
the mercy of the burly fellows and
was unable to summons assistance
as very few people pass along the
street upon which the PRESS is To-
GATED after night, and he was pre-
vented from telephoning. The
unwelcome visitors said they were
from Blackford and "had come to
take the town"
Walker decided that the best
thing to do was to keep them in a
good humor, as he had no way to
defend himself, and beyond hav-
ing a largo selection of choice "ep-
ithsts" bestowed upon him, and
being the recipient of many blood
curdling threats, he was not injur.
ed. Finally, deciding to continue
their conquest OF the city in
buggy. the newspaper man was re-
leased. They received no invita-
ton to call again. The hour was
late and no complaint was made.
Two of the men were run in that
night for drunkenness; the other
left for Blackford on the early
train Saturday morning. Those
arrested were released before the
were informed of their
carousal at the PRESS office. The
grand jury Immediately returned
indictments against the men. On
ly one has bsen arrested. He is i'm
Jail unable to give bond.
The members of the invading
party were Lee Green and Claude
Hiokison, of Blaokford, and Hull

To attribute everything a public
officer does to a sinister motive; to
charge that every official utterance
or act is but covering which is
intended to hide ambitions cal
lous designs, is to challenge the
patriotism and question that hon.
esty tf purpose of every official.
Such work brings not only men
who live but an hour, but office
which should endure for the pro-
lection of our institutions, under
the tongue of disrepute and weak
ems our faith in, and love for the
country That there may be men
in office who are thus moved, no
one questions; but to claim that
the per centage is greater among
these than among those of other
avocations is to argue that the
most vicious class of people are
office holders.
