COLONEL WILLIAM c. GREENE.
Talks Interestingly of His Properties What Is Being Done, What Is Plan ned, the Prospects and Market Posi ton of the Shares.

Bos0n-Colonel w. C. Greene hearty. bluff, genial-just fIom the annual fall tour of inspection of his Mexican properties. dropped into Bos- ton yesterday to confer with those who are interested in the properties that bear his name. Speaking con corning conditions at the mines, Colo nel Greene said in answer to ques- tions:
 The Greene properties have never looked as well in their history as al the present time. both as regards sur face and underground workings. At the Greene Consolidated Copper Co.,, the main new work has been done in the Massey ore body, in which we are now cutting a third level. The first level has been driven distance of 1000 feet and the third level $500 feet Neither has reached the limits of the property. As to the width of the lode can not give you definite figures for the reason that we have not yet reached the hanging wall. We have not yet done sufficient work to prove t up. So far as we have gone the ore remains constant in values and seems to be exhaustless in supply.
 Some idea of the amount of ore that is in the Green properties may Le gathered when I say that at the pres ent time we have six times as much ore in sight as we had two years ago. and this too. in spite of the fact that we have been removing ore at the rate of 30G0 tons a day.
 There are in the Greene properties seven miles of ore-bearing lands along the strike of deposits, and in the whole area there are lenses of ores Some of these, m fact the greater part of them, have just been worked enough to prove their existence and their size and value can not be def nitely known until a great deal more development work is done upon them
 What are the milling conditions at Cananea, Colonel2"
 Excellent. but we are planning i'm provements with the purpose of effect ing greater recovery. At the pres ent time we are effcting a saving of S1 per cent. with our concentrator plant aided by a double stand, single stack reverbratory furnace, which is working most efficiently on fines Three sections of the concentrator arc now working, and the fourth section will go into operation soon. We alsc plan to add 72 Frue vanners. This will enable as to handle the ores more clearly and will raise OUT total recov cry to S7 per cent, and this, without

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK.

The Tombstone Consolidated Mines has begun the performance of it's an- nual asesment on nOn-patented claims. The work is being done under the su- pervisiOn of A. L. Grow, part of which is done by contract and the remainder by day labor. Wm. TOmilsOn and Sam Watt secured the contract for doing the work on two claims in the vicinity of the Comet. John Escapule on the company's claims in the vivinity of the State of Maine property, and Chas. Hart on those adjoining the old Stone wall or Oregon. The company has quite a number of claims on which it does the assessment annually, and it will require some time to complete the work on all of them. Until the assessment question is settled there is little proability of the company patent ing any more claims, as it is cheaper to do the annual assessment work than to pay taxes on them. especially when they are rot producing anything whatever.

romance. of which so many mines have been the foundation.
 Briefly, 1t seems that some few miles from Fronteras, a rich discovery was made lby one Cananea man, who immediately took steps to denounce his find in the local office; news of the strike, however. leaked out. and while the discoverer was making for Can anea on horseback the telegraph was being busily worked to reach parties already here. At Fronteras, it is alleged that the horseman's mount was hidden, to cause delay, and it was on ly after a nights wild ride on a pur. chased pony that Cananea was reach ed Other allegations of delay and absence of certain officers are made and legal proceedings are a possibil- ity. The outcome will be watched with considerable interest.

(El Paso HeraldD


 The big rock drilling contest for the American Mining congress in Fl Paso in November is assured.
 This announcement is made as a re- suit of the meeting of the arrangement committeee yesterday.
 The meting was attended by pres- ident M. B. Parker of the Internation- al Miners association, secretary F. R. Dalbey of the association, and W. R. Humphries, a member of the associa- ton, these three forming a special committee on the drilling contest; J. A. Happer, chairman of the executive committee of arrangements for the American Mining congress; U. S. Stewart, chairman finance committee; Felix Martinez, chairman entertain nent committee; H. D. Slater, chair man press committee; and A. W. Gif- ford, third vice president of the Amer ican Mining congress.
 The contest was fully discussed and it was decided that it would be a big feature and must be given by all means. Steps were taken to raise the necessary funds. About s2.50O will be needed and the first prize will possibly be $1 ,0OO.
 The last rock drilling contest was held in this city two years ago last January, and, since such an interven- ing space has elapsed, it is believed that there will be more interest than ever in the coming event, and that it will be a big drawing card not only for driIlers, but for the visitors
 There are few things as exciting as a drilling contest. Men of brawn and muscle are the central figures and their feat of driving sharp. steel drills into a huge block of granite. every stroke as regular as clock work. their great muscles quivering under the strain, precipitation standing out like beads on their forehead, is something to make the blood run quickly. some thing to excite the most easy going, and something to interest everybody.

F. J. Niccolls, a well-known mining man of this district, returned last week from the Mayflower district where he spent several days under the guidance of George Phillips in looking over the district Mir. Mic coils was greatly surprised at the wonderful surface showings of that section. He returned with a large collection of native copper which he picked up from the ground and which was scattered over the surface for a square mile Where they came from or how they got there he does not pretend to know. But they are there just the same. and can be gathered by any one who will take the trouble to hunt them. The most remarkable thing about this district in his opin- ion is the fact that it has been al lowed to lie so long in an undevelOped state, considering the remarkable surface showing. Mir. Niccolls is of the opinion that capitalists are mak- ing mistake by not developing the district-Clifton Era.

The Gold Road mine. on the 800 level, has one of the greatest bodies of ore ever opened up in the Terri tory. From the shaft 800 feet west the ore is unbroken and ranges to nearly twenty-five feet in width In the breast the main ore body is eight feet wide, and samples taken across the entire width give give results of $221 gold to the ton. This width of ore is broken in driving the drift, and crosscuts show the ledge to have enor- nous proportions. On the level above great ore is also being broken down. Eighteen machines are now in use on the property, and the big mill will be kept busy, if more machines have to be put in. The results now ob- tained at the mill are nearly perfect the ore remaining neutral and ideal for amalgamation and cyaniding. The lessees are at work on the Billy Bryan mine, and are getting out con siderable high grade ore, which is handled through the mill. The camp is one of the most prosperous in the Territory.-Kingman Miner.

Colonel L. A. Dunham. a prominent mining man of New York city, and Colonel W A. Parish, a noted mining expert, arrived in Clifton and will spend some time here. Mir. Parish recently spent some weeks in the dis trict, Investigating certain mining properties at Metcalf, and the fact that he has returned, accompanied by MT. Durham, encourages the belief that his report has been favorable tC the property. It is known that Colonel Dunham is now associated with some of the strongest capitalists in the east, and if he decides to again enter the district it will be with ample cap ital to make a success of his under takings. Mir .Dunham spent nearly three years in this district, being in charge of the Clifton Copper Com pany before it was consolidated witl the New England company.-Clifton Era.

 MINING ACTIVITY.

 The great icrease in the activity of the mining developments of the dis trict means much to Morenci and vi- cfnity. Many of the prospects in the outlying claims are rich and the ad- vent of more capital means more to the prospector than any move ever made in the district. Evry day re ports of new strikes are coming in and the time is not. far distant when this district win be second to none in the great se1thwest.
