Joseph C. Erman, in charge of oper- ations at the Keystone Copper Compa- uy's mines, brought to the Silver Belt office a sheet of pure electrolytic- cop per, the result of a laboratory test al the mine plant. Several of these sheets have been made to test the adaptability of the ores to the process, and the results are gratifying indeed. It is calculated that when the test plant ordered is installed sheets of pure copper three-eights of an inch
 thick and of considerable size will be
 produced at a rapid rate. The ore in solution is allowed to flow upon large copper plates on which precipitation takes place, and the sheets are strip ped from the plates 2s soon as this precipitation ceases to be complete. A more extended description will be giv- en in the Silver Belt when the new plant is installed.
 W. A. Thompson and Rayson have taken bond on the gold claims known as the Barnett mine, at Bloody Tanks. The term is eighteen months and a large amount of work will be done, in cluding the erection of machinery for treating ores.
 Frank Thompson has bonded some claims on Pinto Creek to A. W. Syd- Tor, who is associated with Al West and Brother in operating the property. The claims are located about two miles west of the Gibson mine, and sufficient work has been done to dis close a large quantity of excellent ere. The West Brothers are now at work on the further development of the veins, and good progress is being made. The bond and lease runs for a year. and provides for the payment of s10.O00 to Thompson before its ex- plration.
 A. c. Sheldon, of Phoenix, has spent several days in Globe in examination of the Iron Cap mining property, east of Globe. Mir. Sheldon is greatly i'm pressed with the possibilities of the Iron Cap and has succeeded in enlist ing the necessary capital in Salem and Beverly, Mass, to carry out the com pany's plans for putting the mine on a producing basis. Active work will be commenced within thirty days ant MT. Sheldon has formulated plans for the same during his visit. His inter- ests in Arizona are large and varied and for fifteen years he has been act i've in securing the cooperation of eastern capital in developing the re- sources of the territory. His inter- ests in the Iron Cap property will be productive of much good to the corpo- ration now in control
 Jack w. Garden, who has been pros pecting for some months in the Chi ricahua mountains. near Dos Cabezas. was n the city on Monday and left again for his claims. accompanied by his packer and partner, Frank Thomp- son. The occasion of his rush visit was a strike recently made, first re- ported by him in letter dated Aug. (which gives great promise. In his letter he said: T have the biggest strike that has been made here in a long time. The ledge is about five Feet wide, ard you can see the native gold and silver glittering ak over it. The discovery has created quite an ex- citement here. and people are visiting the property daily. There Is a streak about foot wide on the hanging wall that will probably run over 5000 per ton.' It is understood that the own CTS have been approached with a prop osiuon for bonding the property and forming a corporation to handle it.
