General Whining Rews.


Douglas is president, owns the San
Carlos group Of eighteen or twenty
copper claims. The company is also
negotiating for the O'Brien claims, ad.
joining, and has money deposited 10 a
Tucson bank to complete the purchase
whenever O'Brien can give a clear title
to the property. On the CON pauy's
claims are hundreds Of thousands of
tons OF low grade ore and some of
higher quality. The O'Brien property
consists OF mountain Of ore that will
run 6 to 7 per cent. copper.-Silver
Belt.
A miner who came 10 from Troy this
week Informs the Blade that "a gold
vein eight feet wide and sam pling las
per ton in gold across the entire width
OF the vein, has been encountered In
the second west level of the Alice.
This Is no surprise, "a the great miu-
eral belt 10 which the Troy group lies
is about equally charged with copper,
gold, silver and lead, aud 30 per cent
of the mines 50 far developed in this
section have yielded all four of the
metals in paying quantities, either in
combination or from separate chutes,
eith,r in or independent of their main
veIas. 1t is this advantageous condi-
tion that greatly red uces, il it does not
in truth, entirely eliminate the ele.
ment nj chance from mining here
Arizona Blade.
The work of taking out ore at the
Calumet and Arizona and shipping il
to the smelter at Douglas still con-
tinues aud the ore is just as rich as
ever, going from II to Is per cent cop.
per. This is something phenomenal
and places the Calumet & Arizona in
the front rank a. the richest copper
mine In the world. Every pound OF
ore that goes to the smelter, and none
OF it selected, goes l2Ia per cent. This
Is one OF the few mines where there Is
no waste. The mine Is just simply ore
and 1t IL being blocked out ia all di.
rections. The production of last
month was over 100000 pounds Of
copper-not a very small amount for a
mine just little over two years old.
When the new smelter belonging to
this CONF pany at Douglas Is finished,
the output Of this company will be
more thso doubled, As then it will have
capacity of Goo tons daily.-Bisbee
Miner.
1t is generally understood in Butte
now that United States Senator w. A.
Clark has disposed of his mining in
terests in this city to the Amalga-
mated Copper Company, and that the
latter IL already in possession of the
Clark msnes--the Stewart and Origi-
nal--upon which a number of expen-
sive improvements have been made,
in keeping with the methods and poll.
cy OF the Amalgamated company.
Confirmation seems to be given the re-
port by the announcement that Clark's
Butte reduction works are to be aban-
doned about May and that all the ore
from the Clark mines will be shipped
to the new Washoe smelter OF the
Amalgamated company at Anaconda
for treatment. The Butte works are
antiquated, aud their use has been
further hampered by diminishing
water supply. The rumor is also per-
sistent that the other Butte smelters
OF the Amalgamated company are to
be abando oned and all ores treated at
the new works in Anaconda and the
old smelters at Carroll, near Anaconda.
The latter are being refitted.-Butte

The Miner of Tonopah, New, dis
cussing the recent development In the
properties Of the Montana -Tonopah, In
which Salt Lakers have many thou
sands invested, says: The discovery
Of last Thursday night, at depth OF
450 feet, however, puts into the shade
all former Hnds, and has opened up a
body of ore that for extent and rich
ness promises to equal, II not exceed
anything yet developed In the Tono'
pah district, outside OF Mizpah. on
the hanging wall Is streak OF suiphide
ore from fifteen to eighteen inches
wide highly charged with ruby, brittle
and horn silver, and carrying substan'
tial values in gold. A similar streak
