Word has been received that the de-
lay attendant upon the arrival of the
new furnaces of the c. & A. smelter
is due to the burning of the concern at
which they We're building. 1t is said
that this fact will put the time at
which the smelter will go on with
doubled capacity back at least two
months.
C. f. Wrenn returned to the city yes
terday from a visit to the Desert Queen
property at Casa Grande No cleanup,
he states, will be made at the mill this
month, it having been decided to wait
until the company's new cyanide plant

to be put up at once. Development at
the property, it is stated, is showing up
constantly improving ground.

William Rayling, of Charleston, who
secured the old dump of tailings at the
old mill in what was once the flourish
ing village of Charleston, reports that
nearly all of the tailings have been
shipped to FL Paso and that the pit is
being rapidly cleared The tailings
have remained in the dump and pit
for twenty years and their removal
means the last trace of the fact that
Charleston was oncea thriving city and
a mining center has been taken away
The shaft of the Mountain View is
now down 75 feet, and still has ore The
latter is improving in quality little all
the time In width the vein has grown
to near feet. 1t is running at the
present time 50 ounces silver, 10 per
cent copper, and from 81. 80 to 50 in gold
Depth in the shaft is being made very
slowly, six inches day being about
the best that can be done, the ground
being extremely hard granite. In tn,
last few days there has been some Sigh
alteration and softer ground is expect
ed before long.
