MINING NEWS.

DlsDee mlneTs lt lS eSbllndteu the total production of copper in Ari- zona during the year 1904 will be 210, 100000 pounds. Of this, the Copper Queen is the largest pro- ducer, while the c. X A. and United Verde share honors for sec- ond place.
 News Herald: A conservative man would be safe in prophesying that there will be 1000 stamps dropping in the country imme diately contiguous to Quarzite be- fore January 1, 1906. On the Mo- have side of the Bill Williams fork probably one-half that number will making music" by the same date.
 Silver Belt: I'll Tro a. novich and Cramer group of mining claims, situated on the west side of Pinal creek and ad- joining on the south claims of the Old Dominion company, was sold last week to Adolph Land of Chi- cago representing eastern parties of large means. The price named in the deed (placed in escrow in one of the local banks), is $50,000, of which 10 per cent was paid down. Another payment Is to be made next May and the final pay ment in one year from that time.
 Saturday Review: The Lincoln mill in Yavapai county is to have twenty stamp quartz of the most modern make and equipment. The grade is now being established for the new plant and the machinery is on the way. The Lincoln mine has been largely developed and shows a large amount of high grade ore, the vein in places being over eight feet wide and assaying more than $25 10 the ton. Charles J. George and Elmer c. Chapman are the owners of the Lincoln and are enthusiastic over the prospects.
 Saturday Review: The Burling- ton Gold Mining Company is in- stalling a big hoisting plant with capacity of 800 feet on their properties in Yavapai county, neaf the McCabe mine in the Big Bug district. A new air compressor that will run four drills has also been added to the camps equip ment. This company is now plan- ming to pump water from the Big Bug creek, and machinery for such plant is now on the way. With an adequate water supply these claims will soon be numbered among the first rate gold producers of the territory.
 Saturday Review: Calumet and Hecla capital is already seeking other mining nuts to crack. They have now moved camp into Yava- pal county, acquiring six claims adjoining the property of Mount Union Consolidated Company in the Hassayampa mining district. Considerable work has been done upon these claims during the last year, sufficient at least to show that they contain very promising copper ore bodies. After their suc- cess with the copper mines of the Arizona and Michigan the Calumet and Hecla people seem indisposed to try to develop properties bear ing any other metal.
