The Weeks Mining News as Re-
 ported by the Miner


 Work on the German American group of mines is progressing nice y and 1t is now probable that milling plant will soon be installed on the property.
 T. R. Garnier has taken over the St. Louis group of 'mines at Cerbat from John Barry. The mines are situated on the southl side of the town and have been producers of rich lead ores A force of men is to be put to work on the mines at once.
 o. F. Kuencer, representing large interests in the German-American mines, was in Kingman this week on mining business. It is reported that the German A merican people contem- plate large improvements at their property the coming year, among which will be the installation of a large milling plant.
 Good ore is being taken from the Lookout mine south of Kingman, where force of men is at work. On the Withers mine assessment work is being done and some good ore is showing up. To the south of the Lookout Denison and Smith have a fine showing of gold ore. The vein is somewhat broken but the ore body when found carries high values.
 Charles Gracey came in from Los Angeles Thursday last and departed the following.day for Eldorado Can yon. While in the city he purchased hoisting engine for the Tchaticup mine, besides ore wagons and a large amount of mining supplies. He will have fitted up big team and will haul direct from Kingman, believing that he can save money by not await ing the repair of the Arizona & Utah railroad. It is his intention to for ward all machinery to the mines at the Canyon and then begin active de- yelopment operations. A deep well will at once be sunk at the mine.
 R. J. Holmes arrived in Kingman Wednesday last from his mines in the Silver Creek country and departed yesterday for his old home in Phoe- nix. MT. Holmes has just given 60- day option on his homestake mines in the San Francisco mining district to Charles D. Lane, the California mil lionaire mining operator. The deal was made by Charles Tozer, who is known to all our people. The min ing properties contain large veins of gold bearing quartz spar and are sit uated in the most accessible part of the Blue Ridge mountains. It IS probable that extensive work will be commenced on the mines after the first of the year.

Supt. w. B. Twitchell Of the Big Lead Mining & Smelling company passed Christmas in Florence return ing to Kelvin Monday. He says that it looks as though the times of old would be registered on the surface of the Globe mining claim, as all the houses and even the tunnels are occu. pied by miners doing assessment work. The Big Lead camp occupies promi- nent position on the town site and is called West Ray. Mir Twitchell in- forms the Blade that the Big Lead company is now taking out per cent copper ore, not one bucket hoisted running less than 1 per cent. and some of the ore running as high as 50 per cent.

Timing News Reported by the Arl-
 Zcna Blade

The Superior company will ship another carload of their high grade copper-gold ore this week from their north Florence warehouse. Supt. Champion shipped another car load of high grade lead-silver ore from the Columbia mine this week, over the Phoenix X Eastern.
 Eight hundred mining loca tion notices have been recorded by Re- corder Peyton for the year 1904, yet Pinal county has not been prospected. It is the greatest mineral field on the face of the earth.
 Henry W. Reynolds and Wm. Coats sold the Tip Top mining claim Mon. day to Chas. A. Mariner of San Francisco for consideration of 5000, This claim adjoins the Mar tinez mine in Belle canyon. The purchaser is interested with Joseph Champion in the bond and lease on the Belle, Columbia and Martinez mines.
 John North brings in the report, says the Tempe News, that J. A. San dal, master mechanic of the Superior mine, has recently discovered what is now thought will turn out to be one of the biggest mines ever found in The new discovery is lo- cated about four miles south of Stu perior, and the ore is of such char acter that it will pay to ship from the grass roots. MT. North says thatnext week men and teams will be put to work getting out the ore and h aul ing it to the railroad.

FROM TIE ERA:
 The Chase Creek company have continued work steadily during the entire year, with good results, hay ing cut through large bodies of low grade ore.
 The POlaris company did a consid- erable amount of development work early in the year with good results, and it is now stated by the manage ment that work will soon be resumed with ample means to push work with greater rapidity than in the past.
 The Standard and the Standard Consolidated companies have done a considerable amount of development work during the past year. employing an average of from 65 to 75 men. The Standard has maintained regu. lar shipments, its output being suf- ficient to more than pay all expenses, including development work. The Consolidated company only recently commenced the development of its property, which, it is understood, will be pushed with greater vigor during the coming year.
 The Coronado Copper company, after period of idleness of many months resumed work in September, and having ample funds on hand to continue the work fo year or more. The company is now under the man. agement of the shannon Copper company which have contracted to spend s30,0O0 in development work. Recently large body of low grade ore was struck in the mine, which is most encouraging to the manage ment.
 The Clifton Morenci district made DO remarkable gain during the year but no doubt it holds second place in the territory, being next to Bsbee in output. The Arizona Copper com pany produced about 29,OOO, 900 pounds, the Detroit Copper Mining company (estimated) about lS,00O, GOO and the shannon Copper company about 100000, or perhaps little more. The Detroit Copper company are arranging to nearly double their concentrating capacity, which will materially increase their output for next year. The Shannon com. pany also have many improvements in view, and doubtless will increase their output next year fully 50 per cent. The Arizona Copper company, which has always been known for it's conservative management, has been gradually increasing it's output, aud with the introduction of new machIn cry wbiah is being added to it's con centrating plant, it will also show marked increase next year.

Where Mining, the Chief Industry,
 Is very Active

J. L. Bachelder, mining man of Dos Cabezas, is spending few days in town this week, says the Wilcox Range News. MT. Bachelder has a promising group of copper claims and from recent shipment netted some- thing like s53 per ton shelter returns.
 The plant of the Southwestern Smelling X Refining company, at Ben son, has been completed. It is modern in every respect. A sufficient ore ton has already been secured for the con. stant operation of the present plant, and steps will be taken for the imme. diate installation of another 25O.ton water jacket for copper ores In erect ing this plant the company looked to the future and builded their fiue dust chambers, smokeways and 75.foot stack of such size as would permit of lOOOtons capacity per day. At the present time the company is receiving only copper ores, but will be ready to handle lead-silver ores at m early date. The shelter will be running by January b.
 It was expected that the Calumet X Arizona Mining Company would close the years operations with cash surplus of about $l,500,O00 The en- tire cost of production scarcely ex- ceeded SIX cents per pound. The ore being treated yields close to ten per cent. blister copper. The company, however, has a large tom. ge of ore that will run about 3 per cent. and when additional smeltiDg capacity is available, 1t is expected that this sup. ply will be drawn upon. By mixing the rich and the low grade ores a monthly production of about 1900 tons is anticipated, with three furnaces in commission.

She had surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, b ut it was quite sore and pained her very much Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver- tised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle of it, which he did.

 A correspondent at Jerome says: It is announced that new furnace Is soon to be built at the United Verde shelter which will exceed in size anything of the same kind in the United States. The last furnace put in was an enormous concern and equal to the largest then in use in the west. Plans for the new furnace pro- vide for still larger heating sur face, and it is said have been favora- bly passed upon at headquarters.
 A strike rivaling Nevada's Gold field was made recently by James Chambers in his Good Hope mine on the Hassayampa, twelve miles south of Prescott, says the Enterprise. A sample of the ore showed projecting llecks of pure gold bristling all over the outer surface of the rock, and the weight of the ore was proof conclu- siye that gold was just as plenty be- heath the surface. A piece weigh ing less than pound contained over s60 in gold. The ore came from vein about three inches wide which was encountered near the surface in an open cut. Mir. Chambers beat up a painful of the ore and washed there from 5000 in gold. The exact amount of the ore body cannot be determ- ined as no work has been done on the lead, but it will not require much of such ore to prove bonanza.
 The importance Of the Val Verde smelter to the mining industry of this section was never fully appreciated until 1t bdrned down.

Quaint Bath Character.

w. D. Howells in Harper's Magazine for
 November.
 I myself used often to meet in Bath a little queer p1inth of a man, whose na- fionality I could not make out, but every inch of whose five feet was suggestive of Dickens. His face, topped by frowsy cap. was twisted in a sort of fixed grin. and his eyes looked different ways, per haps to prevent any attempt of mine to escape him. He carried at his side a small wicker box which he kept his hand on; and as he drew near and halted, l heard a series of plaintive squeaks com ing from it. Make you perform the guinea pig?" he always asked, and before ] could answer he dragged a remonstrat- sng guinea pig from it's warm berth within and stretched 1t out on the cage, holding 1t down with both hands. John ny die queek!' he commanded. and lifted his hands for the instant in which John ny was motionlessy gathering his forces for resuscitation. Then he called, "Bob- by's comingi'' and before the policeman was upon him Johnny was hustled back Into his warm box, wofully murmuring to it's comfort of his hardship The sight of the brief drama always cost me a penny; perhaps I could have had it for less; but did not think penny was too much.
