GREATEST MINING YEAR
Opportunities for Profitable Investment
Were Never Before equalled

This promises to be the greatest year
in mining ever witnessed in the United
States, says the Salt Lake Mining Re
view, and any mining man or investor
who fails to get in on something good
before the time arrives TO extend New
Year greeting to his friends, cannot lay
the blame to lack of opportunity or to
the fact that the mining industry has
been dormant or inactive.
In reviewing the condition of mining
affairs during the past two years 1t is
truly surprising to note the widespread
and extended interest that has been
taken. the world over, in the industry
in this western country, and the further
fact that it is not at all difficult TO in
terest capitalists or even men of limited
means in any mining enterprise in which
il is shown that there is an even chance
to win out, and it is truly astonishing
to recall the many who have made for
tunes in mining opportunities and in
vestments within the brief period of a
few months; and what is still more re-
markable is the fact that these glow
ing successes have been made in the
handling and development of prospects,
of mining properties which were un-
known, unheard of, two years ago to
the number of which almost daily addi-
tions are being made by the intrepid
and untiring prospector who continually
scours the hills, the mountain ranges
and the canyons in search for the repos
itaries of Dame Nature.
Unbelief in reported finds does not
rob them of their worth or merit, and
the reason that so many OF them have
been recorded of late does not imply
that any change in formation or geolog
ical conditions have occurred, the an
swer to the skeptical being that when
an army of prospectors invades a min
eral section it is almost morally certain
that many valuable discoveries will be
made. This accounts, in measure, for
many of the great finds, the great min
ing excitements and the wonderful min
ing activity which prevails in and
throughout the many mining camps of
the west.

OUR NElGHB0R PINAL
Mining News Reported by our Arizona
Exchanges

From the Blade
The Anglo-American Copper company
are now working three shifts in theil
experimental tests of the ores from the
Ray mines. So far the results are prov
ing very satisfactory.
Geo. B. Chittenden, manager of the
Saddle Mountain Mining company, was
in Florence this week, accompanied by
Attorney Frank Doan. They were pre-.
pairing an abstract of title to the Sad
die Mountain Mining company's prop
erty. The company's new l50-ton
smelter will soon be ready to be ''blown
in" and Mr.. Chittenden expects to
make a profitable output of copper
from the start.
George and Jim Westfal are doing To-
cation work on group of claims located
by Mr.. Chapton, of Phoenix. The
claims are situated along the Butte
wash on the north side of the Florence
and Kelvin wagon road. We passed
them Tuesday, but examined only one
of the claims. 1t showed strong
body of copper ore in the location tun-
mel and looks as if it would develop
into a productive property.
The Bisbee people who were develop
ing the old Lucien Walker mine, adjoin-
ing the Jack Rabbit mine, in the Casa
Grande district, have sufficient gold ore
blocked out to justify the erection of a
stamp mill, and have decided to install
one at once. They have already COM
pleted the work of grading the millsite
and will lose no time in getting the ma
chinery on the ground. The mill run
they made on their ore at the Turning
Point mill, fully demonstrated the fact
that their ore will yield a good profit.
The OK. Mining company, operating
in the north end of the Picacho range,
nineteen miles south of Florence, has
delivered $50 sacks of copper ore to the
Mcintosh teaching plant for test run.
The plant is ready for operation as soon
as two carloads of chemicals, now in
transit, arrive on the ground. A test
run of the machinery has been made
and it works well. They now have
teams hauling ore from the Red Hills
claims and will have enough on hand
when the chemicals arrive to make
long run.
We made brief call at the Ray mill,
at Kelvin, Monday, and had pleasant
chat with Manager Gordon and Chem
ist Westervelt relative to the teaching
experiment they are now conducting at
the mill. They seem confident of sue
cess and to the uninitiated the process
appeared to be working like charm.
The copper is precipitated from the
teaching solution onto inverted "V''
shaped copper rifles or bars, by cleo
trio currents and the solution leaves
the precipitating tank entirely free
from copper. Mr.. Westerfelt did not.
of course, give us the details of the
process, as he is not yet ready to talk
for publication.

IA new RECEIVER.
Walter Reeves Wilt Represent
Devlin Illinois Creditors.
This Was Agreed Upon in Con-
ference Today.

From information received here this
afternoon by Cyrus Leland, receiver IN
bankruptcy for c. J. Devlin, 1t is I'M
derstood that Walter Reeves of Streator,
Illinois, will be appointed by the proper
court as the receiver of the Illinois prop
critics. This is in accordance with the
wishes of the Illinois creditors. Under
this arrangement, the pay roll of the
miners in Illinois will be taken care of
by Chicago banks. This two weeks pay
roll falling due on Saturday amounts to
about $4,000.
Mr., Leland said: Yesterday after
noon it was suggested to the attorneys
for the receivers that it might be well
to have another receiver appointed from
the fact that when the trustees are
elected there will be either one or three
and in that way it will be better to
have one from Illinois as a third trus-
tee. 1t has been agreed upon in Chi
cago to appoint Walter Reeves of
Streator as third receiver and it is ex-
pected that he will be appointed by the
proper court. The Chicago banks will
take care of the Illinois pay roll"

nothing special to be said against him.
When will you appoint the war;

"Oh, there's lots of time for that
replied Governor Hoch. Things seem

as they are, don't they?"
Governor Hoch has previously
stated that he would appoint the
warden of the penitentiary as soon as

Is Identified.

advices received by the minister of the
interior this afternoon say that the
assassin of Project of Police Shuvalof
of Moscow has been identified as a
former school teacher of st. Peters,
burg named Kulikovsky who is ac-
lively connected with the political agi-

lied to Siberia for six years by the
late Interior Minister Won Plehve but
escaped in 1904 and was supposed to
have gone abroad. Kulikovsky was
next discovered at Moscow in June
last, prowling around the government
buildings, presumably intent on COM
hitting political crime. He was ar
rested and taken to a, police station,
from which he escaped. Upon his
escape Shuvaloff offered reward for
KulikoYsky'S capture.
