WELL AND THIS YEAR IS FIX
 pEcTED TO BE A GOOD ONE.
 A. ". Clifford the local mining ex- pert. returned last evening from weeks trip to Arizona mining camps, in the interest of the Southwestern Mining association says an Fl Paso ex- change
 He visited the Shakespears group in the Drsgoon mountain, Fair banks. Benson, Douglas and Wilcox i1 his rounds.
 Some very interesting and impor- tant- experiments" said Mir. Clifford this morning. "are being carried on at the Shakespeare mines by ". J. Sapp a metallurgist of wide experience and reputation, sent out to examine these mines by the United Gold and Copper company of Ohio, which has owned the Atwood mine for some time and which recently purchased the Miser's Chest group of claims. He is to examine and report especially as to the feasi- bility and proper methods of teaching the copper from the ores of these mines.
 MT. Sapp is already confident that teaching is the best way to handle the ores and is very emphatic in his as- sertion that they are of sufficient val ue to permit their being leaehed at a cost that will leave a good profit for the miner. The company's plan will be to manufacture all the chemicals right on the ground necessary for the process, and Mir. Snapp estimates that the cost will not exceen cents per pound for all the copper produced in the camp,
 This proposition solved. the mines of the Shakespeare district would soon be put into regular and profitable pro- duction. as there is no question about the tonnage.
 At Benson I found some dittle ac- tiyity. resulting chiefly from the start ing up of the shelter at that point. which has been closed down for some time past The citizens subscribed a sufficient amount of money to buy the S4N pant anu S4kNs anu Adft a proposition to some experienced smeiter people to donate the same u them if they will open it up again. The latter are nov in San Francisco to raise the money necessary to oper- ate the plant successfully.
 The people generally, and miners particularly, about Wilcox and Tomb stone are very iubilant over the com pletion Of the branch Of the Bisbee road to Tombstone. and are arranging to hold g big celebration over the event on April 12
 At Douglas. all is hustle and bus u, as usual The Calumet & Arizona company's new. shelter has blown in one stack. with capacity of a carload of blister copper per day, working on ore running 14 per cent. The compa- ny wil blow in a second stack in about ten days. doubling it's capacity Three more stacks have been ordered and will be added just as soon as ma, chinery and material can arrive
 The Copper Queen smeIter, the biggest and best in the southwest. consisting of five big stacks with a daily capacity each of 300 tons. is nearing completion and will doubtless blow in within the next four or five months,
 Tn addition to the big capacity. the building will be so arranged and machinery ordered which will enable the smelter to add five more stacks as needed. The company is also con. structing big machine shops and fouu- dry. with intention of manufacturing at home all the machinery and other materials necessary to work the plant.
 The mining industry in all the places I visited is in a very active, prosperous condition, and Arizona's fame as great ore producer will be largely added to in the coming year"
 Henry C. Beumler, yice-president of the Atlas Exploration & Mining com pany returned home Tuesday from an exended trip 10 Sonora where he went to look after some new properties for his company. MrBeumler made a de. nouncement of 600 pertenanclas of very rich strip of mineral land lying rear the Pavo Rico and work has be- gun by his company to open the prop erty on an extensive scale. Mr Beumler brought with him some sam pies of ore taken from the new ground ana assays are now being made. The ore is healthy looking quartz and carries considerable gold MT. Beum- Ter states that there is large number of western mining men entering So nora and they all seem to be pleased with the country A large number are making trips to the Fl Tigre mine and after visiting this property take look at others in that vicinity.
 E. c. Morrison who has been asso- ciated in several mining deals in So- nora at Montezuma is making a de- nouncement for a party of Douglas people. and will open some rich prop critics near the Fl Globe Mr Morri; son is very enthusiastic about the new
