made is between the Equator smelter
and mine. The workings are now all
in ore, several tons Of which is piled
On the dump ready for shipment. The
ore body is increasing steadily in value
as depth is attained. Indications point
to the opening up of rich sulphide
body at great depth.
Mills to Start
A recent visit through the mining
section near Prescott, Ariz., showed a
wonderful increase in mining activity
over the past year. In the Poland dis
trict, short distance southeast of
Prescott, preparations are. being made
for starting a number of mills that
have lain idle for several years past.
sion mills are undergoing repairs pre-
paratory to steady operations. The
Dixie mill is also undergoing numer-
Gus improvements preparatory to
steady work. The ore from the fam
Gus Shelton mine will be treated by the
Dixie plant George w. Middleton, the
we'll known mining man of Yavapai
county, has charge of the reconstruc-
ton of the Dixie mill and the develop
ment of the Shelton property.
There is a general feeling of ap-
preaching prosperity among the min
ing men of both the Poland and
Walker districts.
The Greenwood mill is in steady
operation turning out a high grade Of
concentrates, of which there is large
accumulation awaiting shipment.
In the Walker district there Is also
some business going on in the way of
mining deals.
The Booker group of claims has been
bonded to Major A. j. Doran, who is
making thorough inspection of them
preparatory to beginning the work of
sinking. IS
The Pine Mountain and Victor, mines
are working steadily, while active
preparations are under way to begin
operations on the Mark Twain property.
The unwatering of the main shaft is
now under way, and sinking will be
resumed as soon as everything is in
shape Work is progressing steadily
in the Senator tunnel, and 1T is rumored
that the famous Mudhole property is to
resume operations in short time.
improvements by Rlchenbar Company
Extensive improvements are being
made on the property of the Richenbar
Mining company, located in the Brad
shaw mountains, south of Prescott.
The capacity of the mill has been
doubled, and the motive power Of the
plant increased to 100 horse power.
When all improvements have been fin-
ished the mill will have capacity OF
about seventy-five tons every twenty
four hours. A fifty-ton cyanide plant
is also to be installed and will be In
operation by the first of October.
The present working force consists
of twenty-five men, but the number
will be greatly increased as soon as
the improvements are all in place.
All the low grade ore is treated at
the mill, while the high grade product
is shipped to the Treadwell smelter at
Mayer for treatment.
Two carloads of ore treated by this
smelter last month netted the owners
in the neighborhood of $500.
The low grade product averages
about $13 per ton. All tailings are
saved and treated by the cyanide
process, netting from 81 to Sc per ton.
The company already has enough ore
blocked out to keep the mill in opera
ton for several years to come. Tbs

Much notoriety was gained for Cal
iente, New. during the building of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad, as being a division point for
two divisions Of the road. The town
at an altitude of 1000 feet is rather
picturesquely situated, surrounded upon
nearly all sides by mountains of var
ious heights. Mammoth springs of hot
and cold water are abundant, the rail-
road using 100000 gallons of water
daily both for local and shipping use
to towns along the route. These wells
are only eleven feet in depth and
never pumped dry.
From general appearances and nu-
merous Investigations. Caliente seems
destined to become an important min
ing center, and at no distant date
railway line will be completed from
here to Phoebe. Ely and northward
along Cherry creek, Spruce mountain,
up Steptoe valley to Wells a point on
the Southern Pacific between Salt Lake
and San Francisco.
A modern depot, a seventeen stall
roundhouse and about twenty-five four
and six-room cottages have been COM
pleted by the railroad company. Within
stones throw of the business por-
ton of the town is located the mining
property of the Caliente Gold Mining
company of which George F. Fetter-
man of Caliente is president and A. r.
Parsons Of Delamar. secretary and
treasurer. There are four claims in
the group developed by tunnels to
about $50 feet below the surface, on a
ledge of porphyritic ore. This prop
erty was lately bonded to Salt Lake
capitalists and development will be ac-
lively pushed. David Cook of Caliente
owns the adjoining group of six
claims, which is good gold PROPOSE
