and of financing it, is not only a
prominent lawyer of Massachusetts
but business man of pronounced
ability and great experience in the
successful promotion of large enter
prises. This experience, as we'll as the
success he has achieved, will enable
him to attract the attention of capital
to the enterprise. He has unwavering
confidence not only in the feasibility
of the enterprise, but of the ultimate
financial success of it when completed
and will therefore be enabled to
present it without any faltering or
doubt on his part of its merits. So
firm are his convictions in this respect
that he cannot fail in its promotion,
as he readily transfers this confidence
to any one with whom he converses.
But in addition to his own judgment
in the matter, he will be backed by
the favorable judgment and opinion of
a score or more of the leading citizens
of this county who have made thor
ough and exhaustive investigation of
the enterprise, and whose enthusiasm
on the subject equals that of Mr..
Fogg.
The mineral possibilities of the
tunnel are practically unlimited cut
ting as it will be in a mountain range
in which some of the greatest prop,
critics in Arizona are located.
Its possibilities for developing water
are equally great as every indication
on the surface points to the existence
of a subterranean stream of water
there which is forced to the surface at
numerous points.
The Importance of the means of
traffic which it will afford by means
of the proposed electric railway, even
under present conditions, can scarce
ly be estimated while with the in
creased population which would result
from its construction and the increase
of industrial enterprises which it
would promote this feature alone
would make of it a paying PROPOSE
tion.
The water which will inevitably be
obtained can be used not only for ir-
rigation purposes but without dImin-
ishing its value for this purpose could
be utilized in the generation of cleo
tricity ON large scale.
In fact the more one investigates
the subject the greater its uses and
benefits grow upon him.

MINING NEWS

The Phoenix Gazette, either on its
own motion or on information OBTAIN
ed from some other source, contains
the following alleged piece of news
concerning the biggest mine in Ari-
IONA. "The United Verde mine and
smelter at Jerome are running full
blast with nearly 1000 men employed.
One 80 ton and two 500 ton jackets
are in constant operation and another
500 ton furnace will soon be put in
commission. For the first six months
of 1904 the United Verde mine has
paid its stockholders 5000, 600, against
1925. 600 for the first six months of
last year. Up to last year the CON-
pany paid regular monthly dividends
of 10 ceuts share, which called for
disbursement of 1925, goo a month
upon the $1,000, 600. capital of the
company. The United Verde is now
paying at the rate of 81, 500, 600 a year
in dividends. besides SIS, 600 a year
upon the S3,uUO, UUO OF debenture
bonds outstanding. The United Verde
has paid as high as $1,000, 600 year,
most of which went to William A.
Clark as owner Of a very large major
ity of the shares. Leading engineers,
however, who are familiar with the
property, say that the United Verde
has seen its best days, that its output
is a declining one, as the higher grade
ore bodies have been pretty we'll ex-
hausted, other than in the burning"
section of the mine, and profits are
now being derived from ore which
few years ago would have been consid-
cred too low to treat. " The state

At meeting last Thursday evening
of the citizens Black Hills tunnel
committee at which all the members,
except Mr.. Herndon were present,
Mr.. Fogg outlined somewhat in detail
his plans in regard to promoting this
gigantic enterprise and general dis
cussion was had of the possibilities
of success as we'll as of some of the
possible obstacles which might be en-
countered. The session of the COM
mittee lasted for about two hours and
at its close Mr.. Fogg authorized j. j.
Fisher, the we'll known civil engineer,
to proceed at as early date as pos
sible and make the preliminary sur
vey and erect the monuments neces-
sary for the legal location of the tun-
mel site in accordance with the laws
of the United States.
This is the first real active, practi-
cal step taken towards the building of
this tunnel, previous efforts being in
the nature of a preliminary reconnois-
ance and investigation. Having de-
cided definitely now on plan of ac-
ton, Mr.. Fogg will prosecute the
work with all the energy and persis-
tence at his command, and he hopes
to be able to commence the real work
of construction by the early spring.
In addition to locating the tunnel
site and designating its location by
the proper monuments and stakes, Mr..
Fisher will take the attitudes of the
various points on the surface along
the line, showing the depth at which
it will cut the formation and will also
make map of the surrounding
country, showing the relative posi-
lions of Prescott ard of jerome and
other mining camps contiguous to it
as we'll as of the Verde valley and the
approximate route for an electric line
connecting Prescott with the west end
of the tunnel and Jerome with the east
end.
The Black Hills tunnel is now a
definite, tangible enterprise, the
building of which will result in
greater benefits to northern Arizona
and Yavapai county in particular,
than ally enterprise ever heretofore
inaugurated and it should receive the
hearty support of all citizens.

this tunnel enterprise and who has

the ores of the veins that will be
opened up. This mill will have a
capacity of between 300 and 400 tons
per day, and the richer of the ores
encountered will be treated first and
the big lower grade propositions will
be handled by mammoth reduction
plant later on.
In substantiation of what the
journal Miner reporter saw person
ally, conversation was had with
Colonel j. F. Wilson, delegate to
congress from Arizona, who has lived
for many years in this county and is
thoroughly familiar with the condi-
tions as they exist in the Crown King
section. Col. Wilson had just return
ed from two days stay at Grown
King during which time he had spent
several hours at the mill watching the
results very closely. When asked for
his opinion as to the results as OBJ
tanned in the mill he said it was
simply marvellous. "Unless l am
badly fooled, which l do not see how
l could be- he said, "the Grown
King mill is a complete success. 1
firmly believe that they can take any
metal on earth out of the ore with that
mill 1t is the most complete and
ingeniously constr ucted plant l have
ever seen in my life for the purposes
for which it has been const ructed.

such a piece of machinery could be
constructed and there can be no mis-
take about what it will do for it shows

tors are the marvel of the age in min
ing. l make no hesitancy in saying
that the mill is an unqualified success
and will do all or more than has been
claimed for it.
GAS to the proposed tunnel pro-
ject of the Grown King Mines COM
pany l think it is one of the greatest
things this county and more especial
ly the Bradshaw Mountain section
could possibly have as there is no
question but what it will open up a
number of wonderful lodges of ore
and will not only make the properties
of that company among the greatest
in Arizona, but will afford a splendid
opportunity for several other valuable
properties to market their ore at big
saving in transportation costs. That
project is one that 1 heartily approve
of and commend. | also think Mr..
Shurtlef and his associates deserve
great credit for the manner in which
they have carried this mammoth
enterprise to an assured success.
