Sev- eral' years later hesTeturned to the los cality, but was unable to locate the place where he found the nuggets, and his history passed into local tradition. Much sear.h has been made for the lost placers and2it is now believed they have been found At any event the discovery has started small stam pede in that section and the mining public is anxiously waiting authentic news from the scene of operations.-Mining and Scientific Press. .&s :. .s- ss The Worlds Fair mine is perhaps one of the most remarkable properties in Arizona. During period of ten years it has produced more than 5)O, OO0S and there is said to be twice his amount still available for extraction in the mine. The workings aggregate about two miles in shaft and tunnels, the greatest depth on the vein being 55O feet. Porphyry constitutes the
 walls of the developed ore bodies
 which has an average width of four feet. Near the surface the ores were
 mainly carbonates and snlphides of
 lead carrying good silver values. With
 depth the ore runs more to copper
 with bl prod uct of gold. As shipped in car load lots the ore has ranged
 from 250S to 35vS per ton. one car lot
 of twenty tons netting 15,OO0S. The mine is situated in the east end of the
 Salero mountains, in Santa Cruz coun- 1 ty.-Nogales Vidette. n
 The amount of Improvements being
 mad at the Calumet"& Arizona smel
 ter re little realized by those who have
 not paid personal visit to that plant.
 The big smoke stack, 16 feet in diane
 ter and 200 feet high, is completed and
 painted. It is constructed entirely
 of steel and is one of the largest and
 best stacks in the territory and III kes 1 the old stack, which has been doing
 duty for the past two years look like a
 small pipe stem. The Hue dust cham
 Der is also com pleted. It is also built
 of steel and has many Improvements
 over the old one in use. The dozen or
 more Michigan iron workers who are
 engaged in pu?ting up the work ale now building the flue from the dust
 cham Der tt the smelter proper. This flue is 16 feet in diameter and con.
 structed of steel and supported on a
 trestle of bridge steel and iron and is
 a most difficult piece of work. It will
 be several weeks before this work i,
 com leted and several months before
 the Michigan boys get through with all
 of the iron and structural work they
 have ou hand for the c. & A.-Douglas American.
