COPPER GLANCE FLOODED
But the Water Taken as an Indication
 of Big Ore Bodies.

The flooding of the Glance mine on Friday night by the opening up of big seams in the bottom of the stump by the miners has been quite thoroughly discussed about town since that time, says the Bisbee Review.
 In general there is a feeling that it is regretGble that sinking has been stopped for time, but there is no dis position to think that it will be fol- lowed by any long period of inactivity.
 In fact the feeling is that the abund- ance Of water may presage the ap- proach of large ore bodies; at any rate the indications are that radical change in the formation is to be ex- pected very soon. The Glance stock is quite heavily held in several of the large mining centers and the present circumstance will be learned with con cern. perhaps, by those not very con versant with the conditions. Much water was expected in the Glance by many students Of the district forma- ton and many of these feel there is every reason to expect that if the water is properly handled and sinking con- tinued it will be but a short time un- til the Glance will turn into a. copper mine in the true sense of the word.
 Throughout Saturday the pumps were kept going steadily and the shaft kept clear of water but for few days no further attempt will be made to con- tinue sinking. It is hoped that a few days pumping full force will so far re- duce the water in the vicinity of the shaft that sinking may be resumed and by that time the officials will be en- abled to decide upon what should be done regarding greater pump capacity. As has been said elsewhere the plan of rcsuming work in the two drifts at the 800 foot level is also under consideration and will doubtless be decided shortly. The fact that the water here is so pois- onous is taken to indicate that it comes rom mineral deposits near by to the

hOHAVE MINES
Brief Mention of Some of the Larger
 Properties.

The Mohave Miner in it's latest issue gives an extended write-up of the mines If that county together with a map of he country between kingman and Chloride including the now more or less f ramous granite reef" the scene of the : late boom. The following excerpts are from that interesting article:
 Some of these mines have installed massive machinery at the mines fer the hoisting Of ores from the deep work lngs and for milling purposes Notably is this the case at the Gold Road. Le- land. Sheeptrail, Gro Plata, Minnesota G'onnor. Elkhart and Tennessee. At the present time the Gold Road and the Orc Plata are the only properties milling ore, but about the fifteenth of the com ing month the Leland mines will have its mill in operation. This mill was built by Denver machinery house and is one of the finest forty samp mills in Arizona It is expected that from 120 to 160 tons of ore will be put through this mill daily. The mine has been otened by tunEel to a great depth ani is capable Of furnishing hundreds of tons of ore daily to this mill. The mill has been installed within .. mile of Spears lake, some distance from the Colorado river and nine miles distant from the mines. A narrow guagc rail
 road, just completed. connects mine ard mill. This railroad has been con- tinued to the bank of the Colorado riV- er, and will be used to convey freight from Needles to the mines of the L. la nd and SnoWball camps. It is one Of the possibilities of the future that this road will b. extended to Gold Road for

the convenience of that camp. In and around the Leland mine are a score of hig ore bearing veins. notably the mines of the German-American Mining com p2ny, the Treadwell and Snowfall. These mines have half q million dollars in sight at the present time and yet de- velopment has been but begun The Leland, operated and owned by the Mo have Gold Mining company, is now em- ploying one hundred men and will soon increase this number.
 Another group C. mines belong to the Swiss American Mining company. an Ohio company. It numbers among it's possessions the famous Ben Doran mine, supposed to be the richest mine in the county. When the mine was dis covered about two years ago it created wonderful furer in miring circles and before it had a fifteen foot hole on it it was sold to the Swiss American company for big sum Of money This company has been developing the mines in a systematic manner anC have a shaft several hundred feet In depth on the Ben Doran and Uncle Sam claims Great ore has been exposed in thise properties and visitors are shown ore that daZZles the eyes. The company will probably install a mill on the prop erty this winter
 At the Gold Read the big mill is turn ing out bullion at the rate of more than S1000C0 per month. The milling plant is capable of handling about 200 tons of ore daily. but owing to the lack of water only l20 tons are passed to the tanks through the rolls every twenty four hours Contracts have been let to te- nS.ti mated that these contracts will cover q period of more than two years, which is indicative of that amount of reserves in the old stOpeS. New ground is now being opened up and it is the intention oI the company to maintain reserve of more than two years ore constantly in sight This ere is said to carry val ues Tn excess of twenty dollars to the ton and the production of bullion would indicate that this is true. The company carries On its payroll 200 men and this number will be increased as soon as the is made possible. Several springs in the neighborhood. will be converged at the mill shortly, which will give all water necessary, but his will take time.
 Other mines of the San Francisco dis trict under development are the Gold Creek, Gold Mountain, PCrtales de Gro, Sheeptrail, New CCnstock. Tyro, and many others.
 The C. o. D. has probably produced more than any other single mine in this county and is rated today as the great est property in the territory, with the sirgle exception of the copper veins. It has T record of I million ounces sil- yer and thousand:; of dollars in gold and lead to it's credit. In the same gulch are the Rico and other mines that arc in a fair way to become large pro ducers.
 Col A J. Doran has selected Charles Metcalfe as local commission, tor the purpose Of getting together a mineral exhibit of the county. No better se- lection could be made. as MT. Mecalfe is minenly fitted for this work He has had years of experience in the mining field coupled with an intimate knowl- edge Cf minerals and their collection, which fact gives Mohave county an ad vantage over her sister counties.

1t is estimated by those who are ia
miliar with stone work that 1t will
take about year and a half to com
plete the elevated railroad through
Wilmington. the work may be com
pleted before that time but it is not
likely. The temporary structure will
be completed and trains will be run
ming upon it in a short time, but the
stone work will require time. No esti-
mate of the cost of the elevated rail
road structure has been made public.
but some idea of the cost can be oh
tanned from the fact that the payroll
for the workmen employed on the rail-
road structure in Wilmington alone is
over $4,000 a week. To this must be
added the cost of the stone which is
heavy on account of the size of the
material used and its quality. Accord
ing to this payroll nearly 200 men
are now employed on the elevated
structure when the railroad improve
ments were commenced it was stated
by the rsilrnsd people that Sc, 900. 900
would be spent in Wilmington and
those who are familiar with the work
done, are confident that it may exceed
rather than fall below that mark.

A small boy and skunk made things
interesting for a time at Friendship
NJ. E. Church Sunday morning. They
were both under the church and the
dog in his vociferous efforts to efface
the intruder, made a great disturbance
and soon another one of the five
senses of the congregation was dis
turbed. At this point the dog was
called ffand sent away, not, however,
without taking a scent with him. The
scent of the skunk being bad was not
accepted in the regular morning con-
tribution.
The protracted meetings are well
attended despite the busy season with
farmers, and there seems to be a spir-
itual awakening in this community.
