THE SAVER MINE
Property That is Improving as Devel-
 opment Progresses.

One day the latter part Of last week we visited the Sayer property, says the News-Herald. We went over it thor oughly with MT. Saver, the promote and, to express it mildly, We must say that t is undoubtedly q fine showing Tor mine. On making some inquiries we md that this property is one of the oldest in the country. It was located away back in the early eos and has 1 been held ever since 1 Several thousand dollars have been 1 taken out of the rich ore shoot on this property by the primitive arastra. Nu- 1 merous shafts, varying in depth from | a few feet to 190 feet have been sunk by others before this property was taken hold of by MT. Saver all Of Which, with one exception, show up ora in place. the big ledge averaging abour SIX feet in thickness. the thinnest place being four feet and the thickest ten. 1 The ledge is rather flat. having dip of only U degrees from the horizontal. The new working shaft, where Mr Sayer has done most Of his development work. is now down BIO feet and a drift is being started on the ledge to show up the ore body. Frank Anderson. with force Of eleven men, is pushing the
 
 ble. The wori. has been hitherto car rled on by a horse power whinl. but steam hoist is already on the ground and it's installation vii ltake place at once. This will enable the men to pro- ceed much more rapidly with the sink ing. Martinez people are glad to see work going on so nicely. It means great deal for the town.
 According to assays from nine sam pies taken from the face of a five-foot ore body the values are claimed to h.- S9.61. Considering the iInmensity of this ledge. should the values turn out to be only SC per ton. the property could be made to net over s100,000 per year with a forty-stamp mill.
 Mr. Saver is not an eXperimenter without money and trying to promote mine. or rather develop one. on hot air. H has with his own money purchased this famous group of eight and d frac- tion claims on the great ledge that has been called the mother lode of the country. He has, from his pocket, dug up the necessary money to do large amount of development work, and has not gone about footing his horn from the house tops and trying 10 sell stock to develop his property. He has taken all the chance ot the vein plnch- 1 ing out at once himself, and has done work to prove the mine. He will prob- ably, 2s soon as he is fully satisfied, himself. that his property is all right ask a few other men of money to join him in equipping the property and working it. The equipment will be q rather expensive proposition, because 2 ! complete water system will have to be constructed with pipe line of nine miles. But when that is in, this plant will be easily able to supply Martinez with water as well as some other ad- jacent mining properties. The revenue from this source will pay good inter- est on the money invested in the water | plant.

from the men and women engaged on the "Webster's Dictionary and famii- lar with the methods there used, the staff for a new work like the Cen tury' or the Standard" did not exist. but had to be evolved in the course of the process, from the general scholar. ship of the country. In one of these. offices, within the writer's knowledge, literally scores of men who had reputa- tions for scholarship in their various specialties passed through this editorial sieve, proving entirely incompetent to do the work. This is no more than to say that lexiccgraphy, in it's various phases. is distinct business, the work men fer which, so far as this country is concerned. have mostly been educat- cd within the past fifteen years.
 The compiling of a vocabulary might be supposed. offhand, to be a compara- lively simple task. But fifteen years ago no general dictionary existed that had more than one third of the words desirable for use in writing and speak ing the English language. W hile it is true that the average single writer uses but a few thousand words, the great body of English literature in all de partments, including the desirable nuun- Der of technical terms. will be found to amount to at least three hundred and fifty thousand words, and could easily include a half million words that have been at some time used. Any one of these words may be met by a reader in some department, and accordingly he wishes to find it in a dictionary, spell ed. pronounced, and defined by some reliable authority. How, then, are these words to be certainly brought together by compilers? One of the methods us ed. as matter of fact, was about as follows: the collections already brought together in the general dictionaries, and in various special works already existing, furnished the basis for the voca abulary.-From "How Dictionaries Are Made" by W. c. Stiles, in the September Success.

Latest Bulletin of the Consolidated
 Companys Operations.

The york of the Tombstone Consoli- dated Iines company progresses satis- fectorily. On the 100 foot level exca- vation fer the new pump station is in
 progress and the same will shortly be ready to receive the additional station
 pump which has capacity of 1.20G, ,000 gallons daily. The water in the big shaft is still controlled without any trouble and the mammoth pumps kept constantly at work day and night. A large ere bin is being built by the com pany for the convenient handling of the ore to the railroad track, running di- rectly beneath the shutes. A tramway covering some 100 to 125 feet from the level of the shaft is run to the new ore house and the same is elevated d dizzy height from the slope of the hill below. The other work of the company on the outlying groups continues reg ularly and the ore shipments to the shelter go forward daily.-Prospector.

AN IMPORTANT CENTER.

Where man and his fellowship arc SO well and favorably established in a section of the mining region of Yava- pai, as is the case with Joe Mayer probably it would be better not to throw it in" too hard on him publicly. But where conditions are in evidence that gives to his immediate interests something of prominent rating, as a matter of news solely, it will be per missable to mention some of the future possibilities of the little town of Mayer.
 At this point the great onyx fields are located, the operations of the Treadwe!l company surround it, the Risby Reduction company is putting uI1 a chlorination smeiter. the railroad here finds point to distribute from, the steam-placer shovels are nearby. the manufacture of brick is conducted. the Fossil Creek Electric company here finds a site for a distributing station. while last but not least, there is well established custom that is observed ev- cry Sunday by a generous influx of miners that come to spruce up." Ma yer has lost some of it's old time repu- tation as q free and easy resort, but the sentiment of old still prevails and it holds its own with a flavor that eX- emplifies the personal popularity of the man who has stayed with it for so long The little town is growing steadily, and its future is blessed by becoming an important factor in Yavapai, and is one of the places that the railroad did not wipe off the map, as was so gen orally predicted by the pessimi=tic fra ternity.

 Charley Morrell returned yesterday after week spent at his mine, the Bull Dog, near the Model. He reports that they have a shaft down 52 feet on an incline of 10 degrees and have en- countered a vein of seven feet of ore, but would not make any statement as to its value. The mine is situated twelve miles south of Kirkland and is two and one-half miles northeast of the Buck horn.
 Work progresses on the property of the Pine Mountain Mining company, at Walker. The old shaft. which is 4a0 feet deep and carries water to within So feet of the collar. is being retimbered and will be pumped out. The hoist is being reset and the mill generally over hauled and repaired. It is expected that everything will be in shape to do new work in the mine and start the mill in about a month.-Courier.

YAVAPAI MINING NOTES
 By ORICk JACKSON
TRINITY AFFAIRS.

In the vicinity of Congress Junction the Trinity company of Los Angeles is at present engaged in operating the old and we'll known Leviathan mine. Attending it's work the results are stated to be satisfactory and with what has been done in past years and with what this company has performed in development, over 1900 feet of work is shown. This property is very well known and as long ago as 1871. it was under operation, selling for s10,000 in cash which was paid by Mir. Sexton. then superintendent of the Vulture, who reduced 50 tons of the ore that gave value of S15.15 per ton free. The greatest depth is 300 feet in a shaft at one point and 140 feet at another with levels and other workings, the vein averaging from } to feet and the ore still retaining it's free character. This particular location has been gen. orally regarded with a great deal of favor among mining men, and had i, not been tied up for years with legal matters incidental to the probating Of the estate of it's owner, would have been given steauy development and a prosperous era also. It is now under bond to D. J. Sayre, a Colorado mining millionaire, hut it's present owners con- tinue uninterruptedly the working of it. It lays in. the same zone as the Welcome, and half a mile south.

MINING IN FINAL COUNTY.

w. D. Twitchell, the mining en- gineer, made trip to Tucson, Sunday and returned Tuesday. He went on business connected with the sale of the Zellewager mine, fine copper property situated on the line of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad, twenty miles east of Florence.
 Mrs. Ella G. Clark left for Silver dale. Owl Head district. Tuesday. to join her husband and son, who are enga ged in developing the Inigma mine. a very promising gold property. Mrs. Clark will return home in time to open the Wentworth school, in Sep tember.
 The latest reports from the Superior mines, on Queen Creek, this county, are to the effect that imDense ore bodies have been exposed by the tunnel work and there is no longer any doubt that those properties will soon be list ed among the great producers of Ari- zona.
 Messrs w. T. Henness and L. Citi- dina have discovered a. four-foot iron vein, southeast of Troy, which essays about thirty per cent iron and S66A gold per ton. It is a blanket lead, ly- ing between lime and porphyry, and the boys think they have a bonanza. If the lead holds out they have good grounds for the belief
 At depth of 15O feet the Del Corbe double Accompaniment shaft has an in flow of water. The water was encoun- tered Monday The bottom of the shaft is in low-grade carbonate and silicates of copper. If the true water level has been reached it is fair to expect that sulphide ores will be encountered not far below this level.-Arizona Blade
