douglas Is president, owns Tue Dan
Carlos group of eighteen or twenty
copper claims. The company is also
negotiating for the O'Brien claims, ad-
joining, and has money deposited in a
Tucson bank to complete the purchase
whenever O'Brien can give clear title
to the property. On the company's
tons OF low grade ore and some of
higher quality. The O'Brien property
consists of a mountain of ore that will
run 6 to Z per cent. copper.-Silver
Belt.
miner who came in from Troy this
week informs the Blade that gold
vein eight feet wide and sampling l4s
per ton in gold across the entire width
of the vein, has been encountered in
the second west level of the Alice.l
This is no surprise, as the great min
eral belt in which the Troy group lies
is about equally charged with copper,
gold, silver and lead, aud 80 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,
eith4r in or independent of their main
veins. 1t is this advantageous condi-
tion that greatly reduces, if it does not
in truth, entirely eliminate the ele.
ment nf chance from mining here
Arizona Blade.
The work of taking out ore at the
Calumet and Arizona and shipping it
to the smelter at Douglas still con-
tinues and the ore is just as rich as
ever, going from u to Is per cent cop
per. This is something phenomenal
and places the Calumet & Arizona in
the front rank as the richest copper
mine in the world. Every pound of
ore that goes to the smelter, and none
of it selected, goes l21a per cent. This
is one of the few mines where there is
no waste. The mine is just simply ore
and it is being blocked out in all di-
rections. The production of last
month was over 100000 pounds of
copper-not very small amount for a
mine just little over two years old.
b When the new smelter belonging to
this comp pany at Douglas is finished,
the output of this company will be
more than doubled, as then it will have
a 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 is already in possession of the
Clark mines-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, and their use has been
further ham pered by a diminishing
water supply. The rumor is also per-
sistent that the other Butte smelters
of the Amalgamated company are to
be abandoned 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 finds, and has opened up a
body of ore that for extent and rich
ness promises to equal, if not exceed,
anything yet developed in the Tono-
pah district, outside of Mizpsh. On
the hanging wall is streak of sulphide
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,
but considerably wider, appears on the
foot wall. This ore, as it is being taken
