COPPER WHILE YOU WAIT
Made in Twenty-eight Minutes From
 the Pulp

Frank E. Sharpe, suoe ntendent of the Kelvin Reduction company, is in the city accompanied by Ms. Sharpe. They are attending the Territorial Far and MT. Sha pc IS at the same time looking alter ma Gers in connection with the company. He said that since the opening of the Phoenix & Eastern road there has been steady growth Of activity in mining in that part of the territory.
 He was asked about the operations of his company. He said that it's new teaching plant had been put in oper- ation lately and that the results had gone beyond his expec cation. He said that just before starting to Phoenix a run of copper had been made so quickly that he did not like to give the time for it would not be believed by any one who had not timed it. But he finally said that in 23 minutes from the time the pulp was put into the solution the pure copper appeared.
 The company is using the Mcintosh process, which accomplishes in minu es what the older processes accomplishes in hours. The process is partly secret single ingredient being added to ne sulphuric acid. It is probable, though, that MT. Mcintosh will shortly disclose the secret when all his plans, which are now nearing completion, have been perfected.
 The plant of the Kelvin Reduction company has capacity of 35 tons daily, but it can be easily increased by the addition of other rolls. Only two are employed now. Only ca'bonated ores are now treated by the process, but the sulphides can be treated after a thorough roasting. The company will soon put in large roasting plant, = Phoenix Republican,

 From the Lordsburg Liberal
 John K. Erskine, Jr., formerly secre- tary of the Shannon Copper company, attended the meeting of the ssockhold- CTS of the company, and evidently was accompanied by stenographer. He has issued booklet giving extracts from the stenographer's report, copies of which he has sent to all the Shannon stockholders that he knows. He tells in it many of the facts that the Liberal has already printed about that meeting. The further fact is brought out that the officers of the company gave the stockholders as little information as possible, and absolutely refused to give them such information as some of them wanted, and :erlv refused to let them see the con 'ract the company has with the American Metal company for the sale of the copper. Mir. Hochschild, the treasurer of the American Metal company, and member os the execu- tive committee of the Shannon com pany, in which positions he is able to sell copper to hims selc, was not present and the stockholders were unable 70 find out the pr.ce he goS for copper produced by the company, and the price he reported.

Growing Importance of the Mining in-
 dustry. New Developments

A special telegram from Boston, Mass, to the Arizona Republican says that another effort is to be made to make profitable property out of the United Verde Extension mine at Jer- ome, Arizona, the stock of which was floated there about six years ago at $4 and $5 per share. At that time lS0,- 900 shares out of 900. 900 capital stock were sold. A syndicate has been formed with L. E. Whiche-, c. H. Hutchins and J. F. Farnsworth as trustees, which has an option on the 10000 shares of treasury stock, and will explore the property with diamond drills, N. L. Amster was appointed consulting engineer and is associated with F. H. Probert, of Los Angeles.
 The Jerome Mining News says: F.. H. Probers, the engineer in charge, exported the property last week; going from here to Boston lo report on it. At the present time it is the intention of the company to do the prospecting with diamond drill

 E. DePee, who is interested with Dick Marshall in gold mines near the Rock House, spent few days in town this week. He reports work progress ing favorably in that section and all the claims looking well. Considerable ore is being taken out which will average close to $l00 per ton.
 w. F. Mason, of Colorado, who has been interested in some mining claims on Sardine creek, arrived about two weeks ago, and comes prepared to test his property thoroughly. His surface ores run as high as 30 per cent. copper, 60 ounces silver and $10 gold per ton. Mir. Mason is an old-time miner, and has always had great faith in his hold

It is very probable that the shelter which will be built for the Silver Bell mines will be located at Red Rock. The company has purchased tracS of land there for smel;er site and the hauling of ore from the mines to Red Rock would cost very little. If Red Rock were to receive the shelter it would cause the town to boom con siderably. The capacity of the smelter is to be 300 tors. The combined ship ments of ore from the Silver Bell and Tombstone mines amount to about POO tons per day.

From the Mohave Miner
 In doing assessment work on one Of his mines in the Cerbat section, T. E. Garnier found the granite walls of the vein to carry small sireaks ot molvb- denite. Other mines in the Cerbat range carry kidneys of this rare metal.
 Sheriff Walter Brown brought a S3O,OOO bar of gold bullion from the Gold Road mil, Wednesday nigh. These bars are now coming in weekly and it is quite probable that Christ- mas dividend is in contemplation. The ore is worked up to high per centage by the new grinding process used in the mill
 w. H. Cushing and George Klemp came in from Stockton Hill yesterday and reported that in the west drift of the De la Fountaine mine wonderful body of lead-z.nc ore has been opened up. The drift has just entered the ore zone and it is expected that the body will be far larger than in tte level above. The east drift on the 400 is also in ore. The mire is lool ing spen- did in all the openings.
 The Signal Copper Company, operat- ing the Copper Prince mine in the Bill Williams Fork section, has struck a fine body of ore. The shaft is 100 feet deep in the new ground. This ore was found in section of the property where mining men believed no o.e to exist. J. A. Britton is in charge of the property for the company and is making big success. More men are to be put on and work pushed ahead as rapidly as possible.
 It is reported that the Osborne Wardwell group of mines, near the mouth of Bill Williams Fork, have opened up large bodies of rich gold copper ores. Machinery is to be placed on the mines at once and great deal of work has been mapped out. E. S. Osborne, one of the owners of the group, who was at Yucca few days ago, reported that he would have qu;e an army of men at work soon fer the first of the year. He has gone 70 Pasadena. where he will confer with his associate and will return to the mines about the first of the month.
 A cave on No. level Of the Samoan mine, owned by the Chloride Gold Min ing Company, opened up body of ore carrying big values in native silver. This ore was quite unexpected and has caused considerable excitement at the mine. On the lower level north the ore body continues in width and rich ness as it is driven ahead. At the present time the property never looked better and the low shelter rates and freight tolls gives it advantages neve- before enjoyed.

In the center of the south end is the general exhibit of the copper ores of Gila county. This is the particular pride of Mir. Sabourin and above the exhibition case or rack in big copper colored letters is painted "Gila County Monster Copper Dist'ct." The Gila Monster badge here o'ore spoken of is also dis ,ributed there and is surely one that attracts attention. Speaking of his county Mir. Sabourin says thaG Globe and vicinity now has twelve properties all of which are now on paying basis. Some Of them are not ac, ,vely worked just at the present time and some are slipping their ores, but every one of them has pr owed ore bodies hat show them to be prof able mines for the owners. Renamed them as follows: Old Dominion, Big Johnny, Copper Hill, Gibson, Welsh prope .ty, Five Poin 5, Inspiration, Cole & Good win, Keystone, Live Oak, Geneva and Black Warrior, which are now shipping ore. And there are many others un- der development.

Pyramid of Ore

The central SC, ting of the mining building is a pyramid14 feet high made from small pieces of ore from all over the territory. It is the one la.ge piece that was constructed primarily for the purpose of spectacular effect. It re- presents nothing in par icular, bue all Arizona in general. The cap piece is an immense block of green copper ore. Between the pyramid and the east door and also between the pyramid and the west door are found in each case a large block of carbonate copper ore f on Ciia county.
 Forr large show cases surround the pyramid in a circle, one filed with ex- hibivs of the United Verde, one Wi h exhibits from the Shannon Copper com pany, one wi,h exhibits f om the Calu- met & Arizona and the other con:air- ing an exhibis of assay'ng supplies, etc., by J.

Separate Mine Displays

The United Verde display is the largest single exhibit and comprises two long tables and one show case. Copper is shown in eve v possible form, from c:ude ore, -oas ed ore, converter process and finished bullion. There are also converter liniugs, slags and diamond drill cores. In the show case is an exhibit of copper sulphate (natural bluestone) formed b. evapor- at;on of copper water in the stopes of the mine, as well as number of cop per ornamental pieces made at ihe smelter and two ba's of copper bullion aggregating about 700 pounds.
 In show case in ,he north end is the exhibit of the Gro Grande gold mine near Wickenburg. In this every thing is shown from the ore carrying free gold to amalgam, reiorted gold and gold bar. This is beautiful exhibit, the bullion value of which is estimated at 1000, though the cabinet value of the collection is much more.

THE MINERAL EXHIBIT
Building Already Outgrown- Will
 be Built

The Phoenix Republican has the fol- lowing interesting account of the mines exhibit building at the Territorial Fair:
 It has been left until this time to make special mention of the mining building, where are gathered together the exhibits representing the largest individual resource of the territory and the full vaiue of which no man could even begin to guess, for it is likely that hundred years from now there will be more big mines in operation in Arizona than people now living dare to think about. The building of IS ructure to be devoted enti ely to mining exhibits, is an acknowledgement of the import ance of mineral development and the permanenc and expec ed owth of the industry. The building is 40x60 feet in size and i1 is comple civ filled with exhibits. l. is said by those in charge that 95 per cent of the ex"bils will remain on display permanently, for it is the inten ion to keep |his building open the year 'olnd for the education of tou 'ists who come here, concerning the mineral esources of Arizona. The ac; ual receiving and placing of exhibits has been under the direction of Ernest E. Ford of this cigy, assisted by Fred C. Christy. It would be hard to conceive of better arrange ment of the exhibits either from an artistic standpoint or for the purpose of display. The building is full and next year an annex or a second build ing will surely be necessity. Messrs. Ford and Christy have been very ma terially aided in the planning and exe- cution of the display by two gentlemen who are here in special charge of indi- vidual or county exhibits. One of them is H. R. Brown, who brought down and installed the United Verde exhibit, and the other is Joseph Sabourin, whose special charge is the Gila county dis play. Mir. Sabourin is about as enthus-
 iastic as man can be and has good
 reason for being so, but he says his
 interest in mining is not merely for Gila county but the whole territory.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal--stomach and bowels.
A great deal Of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-whlte bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and If we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermentS
ton, Indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,l
and this is changed into acids, soul
