A FINAL COUNTY PROPERTY.
Which a Phoenix Man Hopes Will
 Some Day Make Him Rich.

John ". Read was in Florence, re- cently, from his properties on the Big wash in the Butte district, buying SUD- plies. MT. Wm. Ward, of Phoenix re- gently acquired an interest in the Cop per Chief Nos. 1 and claims in the stains on the rock he struck his pick Blade, and a force of men will be put to work, Monday, to sink a 1OO-foot shaft on the properties. One hundred feet of drifting will be done from that level. While doing the assessment on a claim which he owns at Dripping Springs, MT. Read. a couple of weeks ago, uncovered a vein Of carbonate ore that has caused considerable excite ment in that section. The discovery was made by accident. He had been running a tunnel on the property, and had just fired a round of holes. While waiting for the smoke to clear from the tunnel he was looking over the surface, and noticing some copper foot shaft at this point, and was a five into it and found that he had a fine piece of ore. He has sunk an eight lot shaft at this point. and has a five

District Attorney Benton Dick was full of enthusiasm over his recent trip to the Imperial camp. although the one undertaken this month was not the first made to that camp. He said the officials were very attentive and ex- tended him many cOurtesies. On the last visit MT.

 The Twin Buttes railway grade is within a mile or two of camp, said representative of the operating com pany. Upon the return of President David Stewart Rose, within a month mining operations will be resumed at the Twin Buttes camp. and tracklay- ing on the grade will be rushed.
 The big mill at the Helena mine. in the Santa Rita mountains. after many trial runs of a few hours, has started in earnest now. The shortage of wa ter is such that the mill can only run one shift at present.

Shelter Expansion and New Enterprises Mining News From Various Arizona Districts of Interest Investors Operators and Miners.

J. c. A King, one of the Phoenix as- savers, says that during the last week there has been a very distinct revival of interest in mining, as indicated by his business and the people that ire quent the place. The winter season is naturally the mining season in these parts, and there is more doing. but the contrast between the present and the preceding four months is such as to in spire favorable comment Mr King said he had reference to no particular large enterprise, and knows of nothing just now on the boards, but what he means is the interest of the people generally. the prospectors and the claim owners who always get busy in the fall. The weather never was more fitted for prospecting, as there is no unnatural scarcity of water or feed, and no excess of either heat or cold, all of which is most encOura ging for season of marked mineral develop ment.
 MT. King has in his office some very interesting specimens from the Gibson mine, sixteen miles from Globe. They were merely brought to him through curiosity by a man who chanced to pass the property, but they are of in leISI Dy reason or lne. success or Inelr owners with the property which yet seems to be but partially developed, though something like a couple of hum dred thousand dollars worth of ore has been sold to the Old Dominion smeIt- CT, and the owners of the property are now among the independent men Of Globe. The mine is a monument to either their perseverance or their luck. A stratum of gossan was first passed through in the ledge. A very good grade of copper was next encountered and finally passed through or nearly so, only a little soapstOne stringer re- maining. But they kept following the stringer and eventually it led to a de- pOsit of chalcopyrite that carried a rich covering of cOYelite, the ore going ap- proximately 40 per cent. Still more to their good fortune, it commanded a fancy price at the Old Dominion smelt- CT. for the reason it was just what was needed to aid in the perfection of the mating of the Old Dominion ores.

Cave Creek, Arizona, Oct 2O.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of the Republi- can.) )-Mining men are making pre- parations for development on more properties than ever before.

The machinery is all on the ground. and most of it in place, so that next spring will see that most promising property entering on the productive stage.
 Charley Philes is running either the Fleming, or the small Huntington mill on the crest of the Continental range.
 MT. George w. Fleming also runs for a week or two his little stamp mill to get out a small brick of gold.

 John and William Osborn resume work on the Ben Hur, feeling that the days of anxious rustling are past with them. And why not? The money in the Ben Hur is, in a way, as much ap parent as the gold eagles in a sack found on the highway. It is as much in the ore body as the eagle in the found sack; only some sure but sim pie way of separating it from the gan que. is to be ascertained. The water supply by pipe and gravity is as plain as the nose on Johns face. They will have a fair force of men at work all winter.

 Alvin A.

The Uncle Sam company will build
the pipe line to the Kansas City refinery
as surely as daylight follows darkness.
The management know just what it will
cost. They have measured their re-
sources and KNOW that they will be
able to finish what they have begun in a
great deal quicker time than first CON
templated. You need not be surprised
to see this line completed faster than
any pipe line was ever built. Kansans
are great rustlers and the oil fields have
been slipped up on and left without
market by the trickery of old Standard
highwaymen. But Kansas will pull
through all right; just watch her as she
gets her second wind and toes it in for
the home run. The Uncle Sam refinery
will be the entering wedge that will free
the oil fields, and while it will not be
able TO handle all the production it will
be monument to Kansas pluck and get
up and get there and others will follow.
With storage tanks placed at right
points in the district the whole field can

will run north just as straight as a crow
can fly from our Cherryvale Drum creek

Well, that is just what it will do. This
company is under the management of

they would be Johnny on the spot with

judge the future by the past, when we tell
you that in less than six months you will
see the stock of this company selling at
ten times the present price. We say this

and Haul Fuel OIL to Their Homes.
The Uncle Sam company will be able
to sell large quantities of the fuel oil to
the farmers living within fifteen to
twenty miles of the pipe line. Coal in
the rural districts of Kansas runs from
$5 TO 81 per ton. Three barrels of oil
are equal to one ton of coal. The man
agement know that it is just a question
of time until the farmer who owns land
abutting the pipe line will buy all the
stock offered. Another fact not to be
lost sight of is that all Kansas roads are
open to good work with oil and the time
is coming when a great deal of oil can
be sold this way. This company will
have the oil right at the door of the con
sumer, while others will have TO ship it
by rail or be to other great expense.
