the mines daily. They have vast ore
bodies blocked out, but will leave
them as reserves a present and will
work Only such high grade ore as thev
will be compelled TO take out in pros
ecuting development work. \ larger
plant will be installed when the rail-
road gets in and then these large ore
reserves will be drawn on and the bull
lion output increased u dividend
paying basis. As we have often said
before, the Troy y-Mauhattan is all
right.-Florence Blade.
The bullion teams OF the Troy Man
haitian Copper company passed through
here on Monday on their way TO Casa
Grande with sixty-seyen bars o copper
bullion, containing a good percentage
OF gold. This is the fourth shipment
sent down from the Troy smelter since
the furnace was blown in little over
two weeks ago. 1t is certainly Il good
output for Il thirty-ton jacket, and
gives some idea Of what can be eX-
large plant now under consideration
Florence Blade.
THE Troy 7mclter has since closed
down.
The Boston Transcript figures that
the losses in market value Of copper
shares since the Anal gamatcd com
pany came into the field amount TO
800, 600, 900, these figures covering the
period from June, 1901, to date. Sew
cuty-tivc million dollars of this shrink
age is represented in the dccline from
September, 1902, to September 1903.
There has not been as much excite

since the great gold strike made by
G.. w. Hull in the May Queen claim,
some ten or twelve years ago, AS has /
been created by the extraordinary |
good showing now being made by con-
tinued work on the property Of the |
Eureka Gold and Copper Mining com
Jerome, says the JournalNew The |

All the mines of the San Francisco
district are preparing for tn fall and
winter work and many Of them are al
ready Increasing their fore Of miners.
The Mohavc Gold Mining compan V,
operating tn Leland, j. now work inT
Il larger force than ever, while The
Swiss American, operating the Boa
D1ran, will son have \ considerably
augmented fore, Thi, mine i, look
ing splcnIjI,y InI prom To btcDn;
one cf the biggest producers in the
district. Thc main ore body in this
property i quite .arGc and carries
with it II streak uf ore that l. really
the richest ever found in a mine in
this county. 1t was this find Of rich
ore on the property that brought it
into prominence two years ago and
which caused its sale for Il large sum.
At the Vivian, Col Thomas Ewing aud
Judge Ross, OF Los Angeles, have Il
force OF men carrying on Development.
The mine is showing up splendid
values and gives promise OF becoming
one of the great properties OF the dis
pairing for work and il Is rumorcd that
it was sold to 4 rich syndicate and will
be put in active operations mt once.
The property is equipped with hoist
ing plant and has been opened to a
extent. 1t has been es-
timated that it already has more than
500 900 net in sight. X. j. Holmes
has a force of men at work on his
Homestake group OF mines and has
great showing of ore. The Gold Road
people, in the same district, have
more than two hundred men on their
pay roll and are adding to that number
daily. The mill is running smoothly
and turning out about $4,000 weekly
in fine bullion. New developments in
the mines show up wonderful bodies
of high grade milling ores, while the
slopes now open will furnish the mill
with all its demands for more than two
years. Many of the other properties,
while not actively at work at this time
are getting things in shape to begin
work at once.-Kiugman Miner.
