ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
MR.. CATION DENIES RUMOR RE-
GARDING RACE FOR LIEUT.. GOV.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence or The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, April 8, 1905
Mr.. James r. Cation. when seen at his
office in this city yesterday. positively de-
MED the rumors that he would withdraw
from the race for lieutenant governor of
Virginia. He said that nothing had oc-
Cured In the canvass up to this time to
lead him to entertain the idea of giving
up the fight. On the other hand, he stated.
he had received much to encourage him in
the vigorous prosecution of his candidacy.
He has not abated in the least the active
measures which he adopted several weeks
ago for getting into favorable touch with
the voters in every part of the state. Mr..
Cation said he would leave next week for
a tour through the Piedmont and tide
water regions of Virginia, extending his
trip to some of the southern counties He
will be gone a week or ten days and will
probably address the voters at several
places.
Referring to the candidacy of Mr.. J. Tay-
Tor Ellyson of Richmond. Mr.. Cation said he
had an immense advantage over the other
candidates for the office by reason of his
having the party machinery at his fingers
end, as the Alexandria candidate express
ed it. He pointed out that Mr.. Ellyson,
by retaining his position of state chairman,
had insured for himself the most favorable
access to the various branches of the party
organization In the state to the discontinue
of the other asDirantS for the lieutenant
gOvernorship.

Mohave County miner., 1905-10-07

J. w. Jackson arrived in Kingman Wednesday evening, from the Big San dy, with another shipment of tungsten ore. The combined weight of the two shipments is over 1000 pounds, valued at $120O. The owners of the property now have an arastra and jig in opera tion, and are getting out a great deal of ore. The main work is on the big quartz dike on the summit of the range and the best ore is found embedded in mica. The metal has to be freed from this matrix before shipping and it is for this purpose that the arastra is used. Should the mines open up as big as surface outcrop indicates, mill will probably be put in and the ores that now have to go over the dump will be handled. The boys have better thing than a gold mine.

GREENE CONSOLIDATED.

A local news service quotes Col. w. c. Greene, president of the Greene Con- solidated Copper company, as follows:
 ''I have just returned from visit to the Greene Copper and the Greene Sill ver-Gold properties.
 "I never saw the copper property looking better than it does at the present time. At Cananea we are open ing up new ore bodies all the time, and we now have six times the ore in sight we had two years ago notwithstanding the fact that we have taken out 5000 tons of ore every day for the past two years.
 "The value of the ore we are now treating averages 3.51 per cent. copper.
 'It will be recalled that Expert Far ish reported, as result of his ex- animation of the property, that he did not take into consideration any ore running less than per cent, as ore be- low that value could not be treated by the Greene company at a profit. Yet, on ore averaging 3.51 per cent. we are now making $27O,OOO net per month.
 "The fourth section of our concen- trating mill will go into commission Oct. l, which will increase our ore treatment 500 tons per day. This ad- dition to our concentrating mill will permit the operation of 72 additional frue vanners, and, of course, will in crease our production of refined cop per somewhat. We are now making an extraction of 81 per cent. from our ore, and with the additional vanners we should save 6 per cent. more at comparatively no additional cost.
 "Our production for September, I expect will reach about 5,800,000 pounds, and we have received for our September copper an average of 16as cents per pound. We will continue to produce in the neighborhood of 6,000,- 900 pounds of copper per month, grad ually increasing it. We are doing everything possible to reduce costs. We are putting in reverberatory fur naces now at our shelter.
 
 "I have been looking carefully into the copper situation and I think l can truthfully say that there has never been a time in the history of the coun- try when stocks of copper were so light as they are today.'

MINING ASSOCIATION REORGAN-
 FEED.

Fl Paso, Texas, Sept. 30.-The In ternational Miners Association, whose membership includes mining men from all over the Great Southwest, particu- larly the territories of New Mexico and Arizona, the State of Texas and the Mexican States of Sonora and Chi huahua, has been reorganlzed, and the membership is now at work to help make the coming gathering of the American Mining congress in this city, November 14-1S, a big success. This association alone will send a large delegation and the display which it will have of the great mines in the southwest will be instructive and in- teresting to the visitors.

NEW RATES ON ORES AND MINING
 SUPPLIES.

Superintendent F. H. Griffith, of the Minnesota -Connor mines, was in King man Sunday last and met by appoint ment Traffic Manager Chambers, of the Santa Fe. MT. Chambers agreed to put in effect the Kingman rate on oil, lumber, hay, grain and machinery to Chloride. A rate of $6 per ton on ore to San Francisco went into effect last Sunday, to be followed by rate of $2 per ton to Humboldt. This latter rate was not fully agreed on, but it is un- derstood that it will be made. The rates on ores are for values under $35 per ton. Telegraph tolls to Chloride have also been reduced to 25 cents and 2, instead of 40 cents and 3. This general sealing down of rates is due entirely to MT. Griffith s efforts, and he should receive the thanks of all ship pers. At the same time the Santa Fe railroad has shown itself to be in favor of aiding the development of the county by giving rates on ore here tofore too low grade to handle.

Mines of the County
The Chloride Gold Mining Company

The Chloride Gold Mining Company has two cars of ore piled up at the Chloride depot awaiting shipment to the shelter. Now, that better treat ment and freight rate is in effect the ore will be sent forward at once. Heretofore MT. Hoffman had to pay a freight and treatment rate on his ore of $21 per ton. It is probable that the same ore will now be handled for about $S per ton. The ore is desirable, carrying both lead and iron in excess of silica. The Samoan mine, from which the ore is taken, is showing nice bodies of rich ore in all the openings.

The P. & A. company has struck the old Connor ore shoot on the 500 level. The ore is rich and the vein at this point is fully four feet in width of solid ore. No ore had ever been found in the Connor ground on this level and the opening up of this body is caus- ing great joy among the shareholders of the corporation. The ore from the Connor mine was milled at the Cerbat mill and gave results of nearly $700 to the ton.

The rates which the Mammoth Cop per Co.,, at Kennel, Cal, has established for the treatment of siliceous ores are as follows: Ore from $3 to $15 ton assay value will be smelted free, and 75 per cent. of the value returned to the shipper. On ore between $15 and $25 in assay value, 771a per cent. of the value will be returned to the ship per and there is no smelting charge. On ore from $25 to $50 ton, 90 per cent. of the assay value will be re- turned and a charge of $2.50 ton will be made for smelting. On ore from $50 to $75 ton, 95 per cent. will be returned and charge of $5 ton will be made for smelting; on that assaying from $75 to $lOO ton, 95 per cent. will be returned and smelting charge of $7 ton will be made. On ore from $1O0 to $20O ton, 95 per cent. will be returned and a smelting charge of $10 added. In addition to the above percentages of gold, 90 per cent. of all silver values will be returned on ores assaying above five ounces to the ton. No return will be made on less values. Only siliceous ores as high as 90 per cent. in silica will be subject to a smelting charge; gold will be paid for at the rate of $20 per ounce and silver at current New York quotations. No lots of less than ten tons will be re- ceived at the shelter.

Victor 0. Heikes, of the mineral di- vision geological survey, has been in this county the greater part of this week in the interest of bulletin, which he, is preparing on mineral statistics of this section. The bulletin will be of great interest to people inter ested in minerals, as it will show the various metals produced by our mines, as well as many valuable gem stones from all parts of the county. It will be accompanied by map of the coun- ty showing the mining districts and the locations of minerals.

c. D. Pickering arrived in King man Thursday last and departed the same day to Gold Road, where he will make. an examination of the big com pressor plant at the Gold Road mine. It is the intention of MT. Pickering to install large compressor plant at the San Francisco mine, to take the place of the electric plant now in use. The mine is opening up wonderfully and the ore taken from the lower workings is the best ever produced by the prop erty.

Mineral

At the Keystone mine, Mineral Park, a large tonnage of ore is on the dump awaiting shipment to the smelt- CT. This ore is the richest ever taken from the mine, being almost solid ruby silver, carrying good values in gold. The streak is about 6 inches in width, but very regular. It is probable that the ore body will be tapped from the lower level and larger force of men put to work.
