UNITED STATES PATENT.

It is a necessary part of mining de- velopment in the long run that a Unit. ed States patent be procured for the ground. It constitutes the only sure title, and in the case of a proposed sale the purchaser will consider the question Of title next in importance only to the possible value and extent of the ore. True, it costs a goo,i deal; costs more than it should. but 1t is Of iron-clad potency and is a de- terrent to litigation. In case of stock company instances are not wan,. ing where with every intent to be hor. est those in charge while spending considerable money in requisite devel. opment omitted to secure q patent and when the money ran out and trou. ole came, the ground finally became subject to relocation. with .he result that the innocent stockholders, lost the property. It should be borne in mind that no matter if the g!ound has been steadily worked for twenty years. no matter how much in the way of improvements may he there on. failure to put paltry s100 worth Of annual improvement during any of the required time may cause the ground to revert to the government under the letter of the law, and thus be subject to relocation.

tai Show No indications that a

 H. B. Coons, prominent mining pro- moter of New York with extensive holdings in the mining districts sur rounding Prescott and also a heavy holder of Modern stock, is in Bisbee on a visit to this camp in the interest of a company of New York capitalists, of which he is one.
 MT. Coon stated to a review repor- ter that his visit at this time had but little to do with the Modern aside from the interest that he always takes in any of his possessions. In speaking of the conditions that are at present prevailing in Yavapai, MT. Coons deplored that such a state of affairs should exist in a country where general activity is the only course that brings out the best re- sources of the district. Said he. in answer to a question relating 10 the labor troubles in Yavapai; "Thev are bad: deplorable. It is difficult to see why there has been no adjust ment, for the result of the recent trou- ble has been only to cripple the entire district and place several important mines on the idle list. There seems to be 10 disposition on the part of those interested to come to a settle ment of the trouble at this time. The unfortunate occurrences at Poland Tunnel and that immediate vicinity have had the effect of creating much hard feeling between the mine own CTS and the working men
 Everywhere in that district dullness in business and mining circles pre- vails and it is hard to see where the end will be. The men are situated so that they can get out at any time that they see fit, so fail to see where the owners are going to be benefited by not granting their demands.
 ''1n Colorado miners and mvckers receive the same wages three dol lars per day; recently in Yavapai the scale was lowered in the case of the muckers and the miners received oIiespOuulus raise. II seems tO me that this is the right solution of the wage problem that exists there for it takes a man with skill and consider able krownedge to be a comDetent mirer while the mucker needs to know nothing about a mine to make good workman"
 MT. Coon will remain in Bisbee for a few days when he will proceed to Prescott and other points in the northern part of the territory.

IN THE MINING FIELD
Operations of Interest Throughout the County of COchise, Arizona
 and Sonora
ARIZONA COPPER COMPANY
and Sonora


 The report of the Arizona Copper company shows that in the smelling department 50.2s3 tons of ore and l. 647,7S7 pounds of copper from the teaching plant were smelted. resulting in a gross yield of IS ,312. .544 pounds of copper. This does not include 25O5 pounds of copper produced in the form of sulphate. In the concen- tration plant 210,717 tons of ore were treated. yielding 2s.226 tons of con- centrates. This shows a product of l ton to 7.46 tons raw ore. The con- centrating ore was partly sulphide ores from the Humboldt and the Yava- pai and partly oxide ores from Met ralf. The teaching plant treated 41.- 35S tons of tailings. producing 1.661.- 939 pounds of coper an 5.01 tons of copper sulDhate. The acid plant turned out 1920 tons of sulphuric acid. The profits earned during the year from the mines at Clifton amounted to e147 59S, while the com pany's railway nets receipts of e24.- 65s. The railway evnenses and taxes reduced this to e163 .562. Interest and dividends on preferred stock ab- sorbed e27.244. leaving a surplus of e136.31S. From this the directors proposed to pay a dividend of 5s Sd ner share and to carry forward a bal ance of e476S6.

IN THE DRAGONS.

William E. Buckland, mining engi- neer and old time prospector. returne Monday from an extended visit to mining properties in the Dragons and furnishes a number of items, in- teresting from that district which are given herewith:
 J. B. Anguis' property of fifteen claims and a fine stamp mill is practi- cally taken by English and foreign capitalists and a deal may be made very shortly.
 Los Angeles people are interested in Jim Cox Swasie and Ryder proper ties near Stockton ranch. The ore is what is called in miners parlance, low grade" but the continuancy of it. promises abundance, and makes it a very valuable proposition.
 
 George Beach. who was formerly in the employ of the Review as lin otype operator has relocated eight very valuable claims in the district of the "Cochise Stronghold" A great deal of work has been done there in former times, by Indians and later by prospectors. However the records show at the court house It Tombstone that no work has been accomplished on the property for the last three years. Therefore. according to law it elapsed into Uncle Sam's hands af- ter about fiften hundred feet had been done. The ore is composed of eoli copper and silver and there is plenty as can be seen on the dumps.
 
 The Consolidated Mining company at Tombstone is shipping car loads of ore every day. and it is estimated by outsiders that the ore runs from $500 to $1,0O0 a ton. However that may be. it is certainly very good ore. The management is deserving of much praise for reviving the mining camp of Tombstone.
 Dr. Orator, of Tombstone. is en gagged in the development of Cochise county and has some very promising prospects in the Mule mountains specimen of which was left at The Review office. It is of white quartz formation and contains lead. silver and copper. with a small per centage of gold. It is twelve miles from Tombstone and is in the Warren dis. trich belt-leading from Bisbee. It Is intended in the immediate future to put up machinery to operate the ore.
 The Middle Pass Mining company has struck a large body of ore. and capital is being interested. A con- centrator with two tables is now being put up. and if the test of the tables" should prove satisfactory eight more will be added. Superintendent Lor- man has worked assiduously for many years on this property and is a pio- neer of Arizona.
 Superintendent George Hener of the Dragoon Mining and Milling con- pany has made a big strike at $50 feet in their hsaft Some of the ore has assayed as much as $500 per ton. which is very encouraging.
