Mohave County miner., 1906-02-10

Der of new deals have already been made this year which will put many more miners to work, and in addition to this all mining men are beginning to realize that they now have a good home market for their ores, where they will receive a square deal, with quick returns from their shipments. , This of itself is no small item to the man of limited means but plenty of ambition and who is willing to take chances on this property Copper Era.
 The Mark Twain and S6 mines, To- cated near Prescott, have been taken over by the St. Anthony Mining & Milling Company, composed of eastern capitalists. The property has consid- erable development work, with very good showing of ore and mineral. A large boiler, hoist, and a Cameron pump is to be placed on the property in few days. This company has no stock for sale. but will work the mines with it's own capital. It is predicted that under such favorable conditions, the mines will soon be heard from as considerable producers.-Courier.
 Hon. Isaac T. Stoddard, who is in the east, has just closed one of the largest mining deals in the history of Arizona, according to the Binghamton New York Herald. This mining deal is for the development of the Bing- hampton & Copper Mountain mines, at Stoddard. Mr. Stoddard stated last night that plans have been made for working the properties on a large scale, and within year or less it is expected the output of the mines will be nearly as great as that from any of the mines in the west. A railroad will be constructed from the nearest point on the line of the Santa Fe to the town of Stoddard, and ore mills and smelters are about ready to receive the output of the mines, and some ore is already being taken out.
 The main shaft at Superior is now down about 750 feet below the surface OutcrOp of the vein, and is making wa ter at the rate of about 950 gallons per minute. But the pumps have this inflow under easy control and the shaft will be continued down to a depth of 1000 feet as fast as possible. Large ore reserves have been blocked out at and above the water level, hence work will be confined principally to sinking till the railroad shall have been con- pleted. Then large reduction plant will be installed. There is now sui ficient ore in sight in the property to keep such plant in continuous opera tion for years to come.-Florence Blade.
 The extensive additions to the Dou- glas shelter are nearing completion and the effect is already apparently in an increasing output of copper. The production of copper last year was in excess of S6,OOO, 900 pounds and will be larger for 1906, probably reaching 1OO,- 100000 pounds. The ores smelted at Douglas come chiefly from the Copper Queen mine at Bisbee, which easily maintains its position as the largest producing copper mine in Arizona. Concentrates from the Phelps-Dodge mine at Nacozari, and the ore product of the Imperial Copper company, Pi- nal county, are also smelted at Dou- glas. The United Globe mines are supplying a large tonnage of siliciLus Ores.-Globe Belt.
 The management of the United Verde Copper mine at Jerome, Ari- zona, has just contracted for cross compound condensing two-stage Cor liss air compressor which, when in
