Four car loads OF machinery are on
the ground and more is expected in
the near future. A hoist for sinking
the shaft deeper is on the ground and
sinking will be rushed after the ore
bins are completed to hold the ore
taken out in sinking. This will be be-
gun in a few days. The shaft is down
200 feet and it will be sunk to the 500
foot level as soon as possible in order
to give more room for the employ
ment of a large force of miners.
So much has been said from time to
time of the richness of tbs Black Rock
ore that it is scarcely necessary to
that at the 2O0-foot level there
is q well defined vein full thirty in
ches in width. The quartz is literally
specked with sulphides and runs very
rich in gold, as well as carrying con
values in galena and silver.
Considering the high values and coed
for a continuation of the
vein, as well as the careful manage
ment of Mr.. Bellinger, the Black
Rock mine ought to be among divIuenu
payers by the end of the year just be-

BLACK ROCK MINE.
Good Work Has Been Done, More Is
Now in Progress.

The Black Rcck Mining company,
operating near Castellation, Ariz.. is
attracting a great deal of attention
in the Wickenburg section. says the
News Herald of Martinez. Mr. Ballin-
ger, the president and general mana
ger, Is a man of considerable expert
ence and has had the proper training
to know how to operate a mine eco
nomically and successfully.
J. K. Murphy has had charge of the
work for a long while, and has sue
ceeded in opening up a good locking
thing. Mr.. Bellinger has been on the
ground in person for the last two
months and is seeing that everything
is properly done. A good force of prac-
teal mechanics is at work at the
mine. They have erected cottages for
the families of the employees and have
charge OF their own boarding house
and Conunissary. Excavations for the
mill have been completed and the cree
ton Of stock bins is being pushed. In
fact appearances around the camp
are beginning to look like a big mine
would soon be in operation there. Ev-
erything has a businesslike appearance
and, unless some accident happens, the
mine viii soon be in successful opera
tior.

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL.
Twenty Claims Near Center of Globe
Copper Belt Bonded.

| One Of the largest transactions in
mining property in Globe district in
| years was closed last Thursday night,
says the Globe Silver Belt, when the
deeds to two important groups of
claims were placed in escrow in the
First National Bank of Globe and the
first payment of $4,000 was made on be-
half of Burden Gaylord of Les Ange-
les and Boston. to the fortunate own
ers of the claims. The total considera-
ton named in the deeds is 100000 and
the remaining payments are to be
made in installments in four, six and
twelve months.
Included in this deal is the group of
twelve claims owned by Chas. E. Tay-
lor and others, situated on the top
and north side of Buffalo hill and run
ming northeast, and adjoining some of
the best mines CT the United Globe.
and not far from the Old Dominion.
The development Of the Taylor
group consists of a crosscut tunnel on
the Bobby Burns, which has cut two
different veins at a shallow depth,
from which several small shipments of
ore assaying up to 80 per cent cop
per have been made; a shaft 100 feet
deep on the Tip Top claim sunk on the
vein, which shows in the bottom
strong iron ledge, with an indication of
an ore bcdy at greater depth; a 120-
foot shaft on the Tip Top No. 2, the
last thirty feet being in ore varying
from one to four feet wide. OF which
about 20 tens have been mined, and
which assayed 70 psr cent copper in
carloa' lots.
The Bird group Of eight claims al
so figure in the transaction. They are
owned by William Stevenson, Henry
Shoap, Winthrop House and Mrs.
Lizzie House. The group is bounded on
the northeast by the Big Johnny mine
Of the United Globe. on the east by
the Iron Cap group and the Copper
Hill property. and on the south and
southeast by the Taylor group.
The development OF the Bird group
consists of several prospect shafts on
the different claims, showing a num-
Der of well-decned veins, and shaft
1S5 feet in depth on the Bird claim
which shows a good pay streak from
the surface. increasing in width and
improving in the percentage of cop
per in the ore as depth is attained,
the ere being a copper and iron oxide,
very desirable for smelling, although
this ore is expected to change to sui
phide within the next 100 feet.
Burden Gaylord, who has bonded this
fine property, is largely interested in
mining elsewhere, controlling several
mines in different parts o. the west
and in Mexico. ard he has been very
successful in all of his mining ven
lures.

THE FlLlPlNos COUNTED.
Census Figures Show Just What We
Got for Our Investment.

When the Philippine Islands fell in
to our bosom there were supposed to
be about ten millions of natives there
in though the census statistics were
meager. and, according to the Spanish
methods. based on bad guesses rather
than real enumeration. Every time 4
count or close estimate has been made
the number has decreased. until now.
according TO our esteemed contempor-
airy. the Manila Freedom, the total IS
less than seven millions. This ought to
be a Joy to- the "anti-imperialiSts'
(self-styled). who made so much out
of the statement that we bought ten
millions of natives CT Spain at 81 per
head. They can now figure out that the
price was almost SO per head, thus tho
moral iniquity was so much the great
er, In fact, fifty per cent.
Well we have been in those islands
a little over five years, and the ac-
count of stock shows a good balanc"
to the side of decency and better civ
ilization. The situation was bad when
we got there. and there is now no
claim that the Philippines spell para
disc or that the millennium has been
set up there. That Is what our friends.

do not want il to come near them.
for then their occupation would be
gone What they do want is chance
to growl and be heard. Therefore they
spend their time throwing bricks
through the windows and making a
great stir in the world. In the mean
time the most modest estimates make
the condition of the ,Filipinos so ines
timably in advance of anything they
have ever known before that there is
really no chance for comparison. If
there is any growl at all to be made.

THE MINING INDUSTRY


Chino that 1000 600 tons of ore are in
sight in the mine which is a most re-
markable showing especially consider
ering the fact that the mine has been
drawn on even since the strike for 500
tons daily. Several new ore bodies are
being developed some of w!lich are
high grade.
s. S. Campbell who promoted the
Chase Creek Copper company about
eighteen months ago, arrived in Cliff
ton last week to inspect work on the
company's property which consists of
more than forty claims lying in solid
body between Longfellow and the
claims of the New England company.
A tunnel has been driven in over 400
feet from Chase creek on one of the
claims upon which work has been done
and which will be continued until the
tunnel has been driven several thous-
and feet which viii cut several. large
leads which run through the various
claims. This tunnel is the lowest in
the camp. being 1900 feet lower than
the tunnel driven by the Clifton Con-
solidated. II is pointing directly to-
ward the New England Claims and il
continued beneath them it will give
them an outlet on the Chase creek and
tap their ore bodies at depth of
1000 feet. Mr. Campbell is quite en-
thusiastic over the outlook of the
Chase Creek company. He realizes. as
do the eastern stockholders, that they
have a splendid property most advan-
tageously situated for economical
working through their tunnel which
will cut the first mineral vein in about
400 feet. The tunnel is an ideal piece
of work and it is gaining depth at the
rate of one foot for every foot driven.

Three Part Skirts

The triple skirt is much in favor, and
also skirts trimmed in triple fashion. A
handsome trimming on a cloth skirt is
two folds of cloth bordering a band of
velvet. this repeated three times. Often
the skirt, in three parts, is arranged
20 give a tunic effect.
A handsome gown of cream colore1
cloth has the long skirt arranged in
three parts, the top part shirred at the
waist line. The three skirts are trim
med by broad band of a very yell
low lace edged by q line of ermine. The
bodice is 'bloused' over a narrow err
mine belt. The coat is nearly covered
with deep shawl collar, or ornament
ed with narrow lines or ermine, closes
at the front with outstanding lace tu-
lips holding clusters of ermine tails.

Biggest Mines.

The latest issue of the Clifton Cop
per Era contains the following:
a big strike of rich ore was recently
made by the A. G. company on the
south bank of Chase creek at Longfel
low where they had been quarrying
out silica for converter Innings for
some time past. The property is only
a few hundred feet from the property
of the Chase Creek company, and con-
firms the opinion OF many that the lead
extends through the claims of thai
company.
c. a. Ross, president of the Standard
Consolidated Copper company has ar
rived from the east and will be busy
for a few days explaining the merger
TO the many Standard stockholders.
There is a rumor in circulation to
the effect that the merger of the Stan
dard. San Jose and Coronado compan-
les by which w. H. Thompson was re-
lieved of the responsibility of manag-
ing the affairs of the San Jose and
the Coronado. will cause Mr.. Thomp-
son to seek a new field for his energy.
Mr.. Thompson has been a potent fac
tor in the upbuilding OF this district as
he has been instrumental in bringing
in much capital and while he has been
personally benefited thereby he has
at the same time been q benefit to the
entire community. The Era regrets his
departure from this district and wishes
him well in his future enterprises.
Ernest Frye one of the best prospec-
ors of this district was in this week
from the headwaters of Sardine creek
about eight miles north of Metcalf
where he has been doing some assess
ment work for some Texas people. He
brought in specimen that was as the
miners say lousy with gold" The
specimen came from q tale gouge on
either side Of n Is inch lead of gold
quartz. The specimen would be hard
10 beat in any country. The owners
OF the property have been doing the
assessment work for twelve years and
this is the first free gold found on the
claims. The work heretofore had been
done on the strealIs of rich ore. 1t
takes an old time prospector to find
gold anyway. A sufficient amount of
work has not been done to determine
the value of the strike, but it will not
require very much of the same class
of ore Mr.. Frye brought in TO make the
property very valuable
VIM. Chino, superintendent of the
Shannon mine, managed to find time
TO visit Clifton this week. Mr.. Chino
is a thoroughly practical mining man
having acquired his knowledge through

He has been in charge of the mine
since the Shannon people assumed
