ed that this train will probably be able to carry 50 tons of freight at one car go, and at an expense of only two dol lars per ton against $25 per ton under present conditions. The initial cost of the motor train is estimated at ST. 500.
 An engine, boiler and air compressor are being placed on the property of the Coronado Gold Mining company, near Martinez. It will take about a month to complete the placing of the new ma chinery.
 Work has beec rapidly pushed since April on the property of the Goddard Mining company, a mile and a half from the Orc Grande. in the Wicken. burg district. Since that time a shaft has been sunk 135 feet. and sinking continues The shaft has been tim. :bered for 100 feet and a crosseut run Ss feet at the 100-foot level. The workings are said to be all in ore. | Report from the Orc Grande mine is that the mill is treating daily 50 tons of ore that will average $1O per ton.
 Charles Platt. who is working the Ryland mine in the Wickenburg dis trict, is preparing to put in a concen f trator.
 The president and number of the larger stockholders of the Iron King mine, east of Prescott, recently visited the property for the purpose of inspect ing the ore bodies and deciding upon a site for the erection of 1,00O-ton smel ter. The Iron King has been system atically developed under the superin tendency of Ben Blanchard till. there is now about a mile. and one-half oi underground workings, the deepest be ing about 400 feet A stamp mill was put in last year and considerable ore worked to a good profit, though the mill was at first handicapped by a lack of water. and later by too much water The ore milled from s15 to s25 per ton but it is believed that the greatest val ues in the mine are copper, and it is ex pected that a shelter will be built 1T the near future. Nearly a half mil lion dollars have already been spent ir the development of this property, ant the little town of Iron King has grow1 up around it. 1 Prescott people are still moving ir the enterprise of encouraging the dig i ging of the monster tunnel through tn, Black Hills range, near Jerome, con meeting Lonesome valley on the Pres colt side with the Verde valley on tn. Jerome side of the mountains. Tn, proposition is still speculative, as de scTibed in these columns some tim, ago, but it is believed to be entirely feasible if the project can be financed The tunnel will be over six miles long however, instead of five. as previousl- estimated Its greatest depth below the surface will be about 1900 feet. | The Worlds Fair mine. near Pata gonia, in Southern Arizona. is one O | the territory's most noted m:nes. Fo years the locator and owner, FranI Powers, has worked it only when h. l needed money, then cutting out a fev carloads of precious silver ore tha would net him enough to live on for year or more.

 Powers gave a working bond on tn
 property for something like a half mi
