There is a good deal of mining activ-
ity in different parts of the territory IN
the way of the location Of claims. The
receipts of the office of surveyor gen
eral within a very short time have
amounted to $4,000, there having been
more than 1870 applications. Surveyor
/ General Ingalls, has found his office
/ force to he inadequate and has sent to
/ Washington for two more craftsmen.
Phoenix is to have another cold
storage plant, and big one. 1t is
being built by w. H. Constable, repre-
sentative here of the Cudahy Packing
company, at the corner of Fourth ave-
nue. and jackson street. 1t is situated
on the south side of the Santa Fe main
line and north of the spur which runs
TO several warehouses in the vicinity.
The plant will be 80 feet wide and l2C
feet long and will be equipped with the
latest machinery. The foundation is
already in and the brick work for the
superstructure will be undertaken with
in day or two.
Another case has been provided fol-
the courts of mining litigation that will
be of interest to the public generally
only by reason of the historic character
of the property, which is that of the
old Silver King. The property wa,
jumped some time ago by Messrs. B
Mattieg and DIR. Charles II. Jones, Of
Tempe, and j. p. Welles, of this city
, The owner, or former owner, as the
! courts may determine, is the Silver
King Mining company, the leading spir
its of which are Thos. b. Bishop and f;
Mr.. Pheby, of San Francisco. They
claim that there has been no time wher
! they did not have Waterman employed
, to guard their property and to superin
tend the performance of the annual as
| sessment work. The Silver King is on'
of the famous old mines of the early
, days. 1t was this property that mainly
supported Florence and the towns O
Silver King and Pinal in their days o
prosperity, and it has produced millions
of dollars worth of silver bullion in tn
past, but for the last fifteen years i
has only been worked in a spasmodi
and desultory sort of way.
