Notice Morenci Citizens.

We have recently passed the greatest disaster in the history of the world, the earthquake at San Francisco, and that disaster taught the world that "the hand of charity was over all'' and when help was needed it came from all corners of the earth
 Our neighbors in Clifton have in a smaller degree, had similar ex- perience to that of San Francisco. Many homes and business houses have been washed away and com pletely demolished, and many are homeless. penniless and in distress. They need help, and they need it at once, What will you give for your part? We will start the ball rolling and anything left at this office or mailed to us will be trans mitted to the proper distributors and accounted for through our columns.

 k. U. Beauchamp, general man ager of the Gold Belt Development and Reduction Company, was in from the company's property the early part of the week and made this office a pleasant call In speaking of the future prospects of his company, Mir. Beauchamp ex- press himself as being most san guine of the outcome. Every day the ore becomes more permanent in character and formation and from every indication this property promises to be one of the biggest things ever opened up to the local investor. Another hoist has been ordered for the copper workings and as soon as received and install ed, systematic sinking will be be- gun on the main ore body. At present they are up-raising in the tunnel which was recently driven into the copper deposits. They will continue to upraise to the surface, after which they will get ready to sink. The first carload of ore which has been shipped went to Guthrie over the Morenci Southern on Monday and from there will be taken to the Shannon smelter This shipment contained in the neigh borhood Of twenty-five tons of ore which will average better than 30 per cent copper. The recent rains have greatly damaged the wagon roads and shipments will be de- layed until the roads can be put in shape again.
 Tony Dreesbach, the blacksmith of the D. c. NJ. G., left thls week for San Francisco where he expects to remain permanently. This was formerly his home but he left there at the time of the disaster His longing for the old place was too much for him and he has decided that his chances there are about as good as any place he has struck yet.

The Evolution of Mining.
Morenci Leader

None of the leading American industries have made greater prog ress than mining There is as much
 difference between the modern stamp mill or the hydraulic giant and the arrastra and rocker of 40 years ago as there is between the modern Pullman car and the old time stage coach. Present indica- tions lead many to believe that America will be known to the world above all things else, as a mining country. Gold is being found in the least expected places, and the Eldorados, Bonanzas and Golcondas are no longer confined to a few favored districts of the west.
 Though little over 50 years of age, the mining industry of Ameri- ca is yet in it's infancy. The un- covering of vast bodies of ore that carry their values in rebellious composition, are making necessary the invention, discovery and man. ufacture of new machines and new methods for the extraction of the metals. And so the process goes on, increasing, enlarging month by month, until the mind is dwarfted in an attempt to comprehend the possibilities of the future.
 Each of the bullion producers of the west had small, a very small beginning. That beginning was patient weather-beaten prospector trailing his burro and pack over the mountain passes, everlastingly searching for "coIors'-colors of a prospect, a prospect of a ledge. The finding of the ledge, the locat- ing of the claim brings to a close the part prospeetor plays Tn the development of mine. The pros pector leaves it a gem in the rough | capital and enterprise fashion it l into jewel.
 The mining capitalist-the man with money and enterprise = is the man who molds a mine out of a prospect. To develop a ledge and 1 shape it to become producer is a slow and expensive business, and hence it can be readily understood why the average prospector, who carries all he owns in his pack, has no inclination to develop a mine. Deep tunnels are driven in, shafts are@sunk, and drifts run following the ledge After ore is blocked out" and found ready to carry values, the property is ready for a stamp mill, cyanide plant or shelter for the treatment of the ore and the extraction of the metal.
 The progress in the methods of placer, that of quartz gold digging, the great hydraulic mines of the

ent. The Era has repeatedly called the attention of the prospectors to the gold leads of the camp, but they most ly have the Cooper eye" and they pass up everything else. The gold is here all right, and after few strikes such as the above, prospectors will be flocking in by dozens, and gold hunt ing and gold mining will again become profitable in this district.-Copper Era.
 The Dean Bros. & Taylor, who have been running a tunnel on a prospect located about one-fourth mile south- west of the Fortuna mine, at Silver King, this county, have been rewarded for their industry by striking an ore chute three feet in width. They drove the tunnel in 235 feet before this ore chute was reached. Some of the ore runs $50 ounces silver and los gold per ton.-Globe Silver Belt.
 The mines of Goldfeld, Nevada, have produced a total of ', ,191, ,OOOS dur ing a period of two years ending De- cember 30, 1905. The Combination mine led the procession with a produc- tion of l,SOO,OOOS, and the Florence was second with I,500,O ,OO0S to its cred it. The other notable producers were the Jumbo, with 93O,OOOS; the January, 55l, ,000S; the Sandstorm, 300, ,000S the Kendall, 3OO,OOOS; the Diamondfield, 300, ,OOOs, and the Red Top, 300, O,OOOs.
 The future of Copper Mountain as a copper producer appears to be assured. All reports and samples coming from that district warrant us in expecting great results in the near future. The Hecla and California-Arizona compan- ies are pushing their development with great activity. A sample of ore from the Hecla was on exhibition here this week, one solid. piece that weigh ed 95 pounds and was fully 40 per cent copper. All the ores out there carry high gold values. This piece gave un- mistakable evidence of coming from a strong, permanent vein. The develop ment has attained such proportions that regular and permanent shipments will soon be inaugurated. The work is being done with a view to the fu- ture handling of large tonnage at the minimum of expense; a telephone line is under course of construction which will connect the Hecla and California-Arizona mines with We'll ton, a station on the s. P. railroad 3S miles east of here. Mr. w. A. Bowles, who is interested in some mining prop erty in Copper Mountain, made a trip out there last week. He not only wis tied his own, but also the above men, tioned mines, and is loud in his praise of what he saw, and predicts a great future for the district. He says that

Press dispatches from New York an- nounce that another issue of 15O,OOO shares of Green Consolidated stock will soon be made, which will be placed on the market at 25S per share. This will make a total capitalization of 10, 140, ,OOOS. The money derived from the sale of the stock will be put into improvements at the plant. The cap italization of the Greene is certainly running into big figures, but it is a big property and stands among the largest producers in the world.
 David Miller was in town yesterday from his mines in the Thumb Butte neighborhood. He owns two claims, which are extensions of s. H. Ander- sons rich silver claims, and says the surface showing of his claims is better than that of Anderson's. Anderson is in fair way to make a big cleanup out of those properties of his. The ore is heavy with silver and carries some gold. There is three inches of this very high grade ore and several feet of ore which carries very good values. Prescott Courier.
 Messrs. Scott and Allen who are working several gold claims at the Rock House in Chase Creek have now over 90 tons of ore in sacks ready for shipment, and they expect to realize about 1908 per ton on the shipment. This property is adjoining that held by Dick Marshall and his associates. and was sold to the present owners by Mr. Marshall. This is one of the best finds of the past year, and the pros poets for a continuance of the vein is very bright indeed. There are now employed at the claims force of four teen men, and two shifts are being wOrked.-Morenci Leader.

A Millionaire Indian Boy.

Nowata, I. T. Jan. 31.-The trans. action of an Indian boy from a penni- less son of nature to a prospective millionaire has been accomplished in Indian territory in day. Recently, in Nowata, before the master in chanc- cry of the northern judicial district, oil and gas leases on minor Indians land were sold, and among them was the land of Ben Byrd. Ben owned 110 acres of river bottom land, valued at los per acre. The land was allotted to him by the government in return for thousands of acres deeded by his fath- CTS to the United States many years ago. Ben Byrd still owns the land and besides, there is to his credit in the bank 10,OOOS.
 When Byrd's land was offered, bid ding became lively. The amount of bonus per acre climbed steadily up- ward until it reached 92S. This even ing Ben's guardian signed the lease and the bonus was paid over.
 Tomorrow morning the lessee of the Indian boys land will let a contract for drilling twenty oil wells. The wells will have an average production of 100 barrels per day, and of this amount Ben will receive 10 per cent. At the prevailing price of oil the Standard company will pay to the lessee 1,0OOS per day, and Ben's share will be 1OOs per day.
 By the time he shall reach his ma turity, the Indian lad, now 12 years old, will be immensely wealthy.
