enty- foot tunnel on the ledge. The shaft was about half full of water Cat present it furnishes enough for five stamps) so we confined our attention to the tunnel. which is of course, all in ore. as no wall has been approached and no crosscutting has been extended to a greater width than twelve feet.
 The ore shows we'll in sides, roof and floor, the sulphide ores coming in strong along the latter. It is very sim liar throughout, only two kinds being found, the free oxide ores and the sul- phides. at and below water level. The free ores consist of a translucent white quartz, very open and cellular with plenty of iron hemetite; while the sul- phide ores show an abundance of three metals, copper. iron and lead.
 MT. John Swigeart. one of the owners. residing on the property, assured us that of two samples taken by cutting down one side, then across the top, up the other side and across the roof. one gave a result by assay of sl4 and the other $14.40.
 The shaft was sunk by Swigeart and his men, and, as before stated, is some what more than seventy feet in depth, with the sulphides as we'll as the water. coming in strong at the bottom.
 MT. Swigeart states that this shaft entirely paid for itself with the ore taken out while sinking; most of the ore being run through the old Clark & Adams five-stamp mill, while part of the concentrating ores were worked at the Silver Flake mill, now known as the Silver Flake mill.

ACTIVITY AT STAGE.

Harry B. Mccoy is in Bisbee from Stage, on the road between here and Tombstone. He is doing some develop ment work on his property, situated eight miles from Bisbee.
 Development work has been in prog ress for a couple of years and over S4,O00 worth of work has been done. This consists of shafts. The deepest is seventytwo feet and shows a contact of porpnyry and lime, carrying some iron. The pay streak is twenty eight inches wide and carries $14 in free milling gold.
 Stage springs is we'll known over the entire section and has for years been a watering place on the Tombstone road. The group is known as the Rock Island group and consists of fourteen claims.
 MT. Mccoy returns this morning ac- companied by a couple of men who will be added to those already at work.
 Water can easily be developed and as a nice body of ore is blocked out it is the intention to erect a mill in the near future and add other machinery.-Bis- bee Review.

PRESCOTT MINING NEWS.

Tn members of the Niagara Copper company held a meeting last Tuesday evening, at which a board of directors and officers were chosen. The board of directors is composed of Herman Voge. F. l.. Wright. Geo. H. Schuer- man. N. Levy. NJ. A. Rothschild. IT,. wine Rosenblatt. J. P. Bauder. The officers are: Herman Voge. president and treasurer; M. A. Rothschild, vice president; J. r. Bauder. secrtary; F. B. Modem, assistant secretary and bookkeeper; Ross & O'Sullivan. attor- neys. The Prescott National bank was made the company's depository. The personnel of the company is splendid and its properties are highly spoken of by all who have seen them.-Courier
 H. A. Clarke and M. H. Clarke and T. Johns Rigby arrived In Prescott yes terday on a special train from Ash Fork. H. A. Clarke is superintendent of the Rigby Mining and Reduction company of Arizona. M. H. Clark is his son. who is spending part of his college vacation in a trip to Arizona. T. Johns Rigby is president of the Rig by Mining and Reduction company of Arizona. The party. accompanied by Joe Mayer. who came in to meet them, will proceed to Mayer today, where they go to break ground for the cree tion of a 10O-ton per day capacity chlor- ination plant, the cost of which will be S100, 900. It is the intention of this com pany to buy ore by sample, and pay for it. just as the smelters do, which will be another very welcome leverage for the development and prosperity of this great mineral belt. MT Rigby. who is a thorough mining man. said to the re- porter that this is the one mineral sec tion which he is perfectly satisfied with. He regarded our mines as among the best in the world: here are found remarkably large bodies of pay ore. He also spoke highly of our city and our people. It is gratifying indeed to hear men of wide travel talk in this way, especially when they back the talk by such large investment in indus trial enterprises among us.-Courier.
 Reports from the Bradshaws are that two-foot vein of fine ore was struck in the Rainbow mine last Friday. in the north tunnel. The ore horns we'll in l free gold. This is the property which is being operated by the Bowman brothers.-Courier.
 The Journal Miner is informed thnt work is progressing in fine shape on
 the well-known Blake property on Groom creek, which is now being worked by the Ideal company. The
 new working shaft is down about 14C feet and station has been cut out al
 a depth of 125 feet from which drifts
 will be run both ways on the vein and
 then cross cut. A new hoist will bC
 run and will be installed at once This Is a double cylinder friction
 hoist with a capacity of sinking 60t
 feet and hoisting 1900 pounds 300 fee
 per minute. A 50-horse power boiler
 will also be taken to the property thi: week.

BENSON SHELTER.

The Benson Press says: Work at the smelter has steadily progressed during the past week. and a good showing to- ward completion has been made. The boilers are now ready for the fires, as soon as a few minor connections are made. Until the oil tanks are received and put in place, which will be shortly, wood will be used in the furnaces. The shafting is all up and set, and the mud mill is ready for the steam, and the manufacture of fire brick will probably be commenced before the end of the week. All of the other work about the smelter Is rapidly nearing completion. Offers of ore are still being received by the management. and the idications are that the plant will have to be enlarged at very early day. In fact, it looks like the smelter will have to ultimately be built to 1000 tons daily capacity as soon as the mines are thoroughly open ed up in this section.

FINAL COUNTY MINES
Preparing to Ship Ore on Completion
 of the Phoenix Q Eastern.

Samuel E. White. a mining man of Colorado has purchased the interest of J. R. Leonard in the Columi ia May flower, Sometime and Newark, a group of claims which join the Troy Manhat- tan company's mines, and is now talk ing out ore for shipment on the advent of the new railroad, which will come within six miles of the claims. The other partners in this fine group of claims are E. H. Fiske, E. IngrahaIn and J. l. Coleman.
 It is reported that a deal has been consummated on the Cowboy mine in the Dripping Springs district. John Gleason and William Lawrence were the fortunate owners of this valuable property. They received their first payment of $2,0OO last week in Globe and the balance Is forthcoming as de- velopment proceeds. The Cowboy is good property and at one time several thousand dollars worth of coarse gold was taken 'out just under the grass roots. A little development will no doubt make 1t paying proposition.
 A whim has been installed at the Jumbo double compartment shaft on the Del Cobre property twelve miles east of Florence, and the work of sink Ing this Shaft Is now progressing at the rate of five feet per day. Foreman Schilling, who is first-class miner, is driving the work in a systematic and intelligent manner. In timbering the shaft two-inch tagging is used behind four-foot sets of 6x6 timbers. This shaft has reached a depth of 100 feet. We have not visited it since 1t passed the fifty-foot level but the miners in- form us that the bottom of the shaft is now all in low-grade copper ore. As the shaft is vertical it left the vein near the surface because of the dip of the latter, hence the encountering of copper ore at the ten-foot level would indicate that the country rock on this claim is impregnated' with copper at and below the 100-foot level. This would not be surprising, as the general formation here is admirably conditioned for the circulation of solutions charged with mineral salts and that a precipitation of these salts should take place along the numerous fault planes in this coun- try rock is perfectly natural.-Arizona Blade.

THE CLEOPATRA MINE.
Its Development Is Showing Platter
 ing Results.

Jerome now has all her attention cen tered on the development work being carried on by G. w. Hull on the Cleo patra company's property. Results or the work so far done on this group have demonstrated beyond doubt in the minds of the miner and mining man who have visited the property that the Cleopatra company has a mine and a large one. Work of sinking the eX- ploration shaft from the Dillon tunnel continues with two shifts. All Of the dirt being taken from this shaft is pay, and as depth is attained the ore i'm proves in richness, and it now looks as if the shaft were being sunk into an immense body of high grade ore.
 A miner who has worked for years in the Jerome district and Is now em- ployed on this property. expressed the opinion to a Jerome News representa- tive that ninety days hence MT. Hull will have demonstrated beyond any chance TOT doubt that the Cleopatra is q wonderful property, in fact. one of the greatest copper mines yet devel oped. Of this, he says, there can be no doubt.
 Wednesday a News representative visited the Cleopatra group, where he found the men piling ore on the dump, which ore was being taken from the shaft or winZe in the Dillon tunnel. Workmen employed here informed the News man that they were not putting an ounce of waste over the dump from these workings; that while some of the ore being taken out would stand sort ing, it could undoubtedly all be handled profita ply with smelter on the ground.
 In the old Winningham tunnel two drifts are being driven to crosscut the lodges which outcrop from the noun tain above. In company with MT. Hull the News man went over the surface ground above this tunnel and was much surprised at the showing. About 200 feet above the mouth of the tunnel a cut of few feet was made in the ledge from which an extra high grade ore was taken. Four hundred feet up the hin from the tunnel another cut was made with like results. The ledge on .--.s part of the Cleopatra group shows from 400 to 500 feet in width, and in the many places where it has been tested has proven to carry the precious metals in pay quantities. Copper is in evidence over the entire width of the ledge. and experienced mining men and miners claim that there is every indication that there is an immense DOUy of ore below. and development work from 400 to 700 feet below is demonstrating that the surface indi- cations are not misleading. About 800 feet above where the exploration shaft from the Dillon tunnel is being sunk ere is a shaft from which ore was shipped at a profit, and that at a time when Jerome had no railroad

TOMBSTONE CONSOLIDATED.
Prospector Resents False Report That
 Miners Are on Strike.

Speaking of a special dispatch to the Tuscon Star saying that all the under ground miners employed by the Tomb stone Consolidated Mines Go. walked out as the result of the eight hour law, the Tombstone Prospector that came yesterday says:
 Tn article is absolutely baseless from beginning to ending.
 There has not been any friction be- tween the miners and the management of the Consolidated Mines O.. nor is any trouble likely to occur. The Con. Mines Go. accepted the conditions of the eight-hour law without equivoca- tion; the miners have no grievance, nor is any strife anticipated.
 It Is strange. Indeed where the cor respondent conceived the idea of such a damaging story. the outgrowth of q diseased brain and distorted imagina- ton.
 Of all the mining camps in the south west, Tombstone is re-eminently freer from artisan strife than all others; top wages are in vogue. the companies have no desire to make a reduction, consequently there is not the least probability of a strike.
 Not man is off duty today at the Consolidated Mines; there is too much doing on Contention hill to dispense with any one of It's numerous content ed miners. who will, in common with the general public, resent the damaging blow aimed al them by the Tucson Star correspondent.

The Iron King company expects to have its pump running by Thursday next. when the mill will commence to operate at once. The company now has 40 men on its pay roll.-Courier.
 A hoisting plant is to be placed upon the Electra mine, the main shaft on which will be sunk to a depth of 1000 feet. It is said that ore from the claim carries $25 per ton gold and from 10 to 12 per cent copper.-Courier.
 The Coarse Gold Mining company is preparing to put a gasoline hoist on It's property. Bunk and cook houses pro- portionate for a large force of men are to be erected. The company last week purchased from Messrs. Reed, Scott and Gonzales eight claims lying lengthwise with company's original holdings. The company's ground now takes in 5000 feet on the main ledge. Rich ore is being taken from the property. It is stated that assorted lots taken in the drift and crosscuts at the 100-foot level go as high as $500 per ton gold; that the general average of ore, the ore de- veloped in the last six months, will sample more than $30 per ton, free mill ing.-Courier.
 Ex-Governor Wolfiey is expected to arrive in Prescott tonight from the east, where he has been in the interest of the Climax Gold company, which has recently started active develop ment on a fine looking property at Quartz mountain, about eighteen miles from Prescott.

 The wonder of wireless telegraphy has now been capped by that of wire less telephony. What are we to think of a statement made by the famous "Simplicissimus" novel. by Hans Jacob Christian von Grimmelshausen, who was born about 1925. and whose work was published some forty years later?
 During the latter part of the Thirty Years war he fought in the ranks of the imperial army of Germany. His death took place in 1867 at Renchen, in the Black Forest, where he had been a magistrate. In his book he speaks of several ingenious inventions, or tricks of his, for the purposes of warfare. Some of them may seem to be fantastic but they assume a different aspect when we remember the many extraor-
 dinary wiles and devices in use at his
 time for deceiving an enemy and ob- literating the tracks of ones own troops.

 distance of three hours journey. l could by means of an instrument, hear l a horse neigh, or dogs bark, at a dis | tance of one hour, which art l kept
