ACTION SAID TO HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS
Tip Given out Judge McPhersOn VIII
Hand DOwn Opinion Monday
Adverse 90 city In Case
Submitted to Him.

While the four members of the city
council special committee on water works
were reticent Friday night as to what
transpired at their meeting. IL leaked out
yesterday that the committee practically
decided to recommend TO the city council
that the proposition submitted by the water
works company be rejected I'm toto and
that steps be taken as soon as possible
looking towards the construction OF
new water works system by the city.
It is said that the committee was unani-
nous in reaching this decision, although
the chairman, Councilman Wallace, a day
before the meeting stated he was fatty
opposed to the city constructing q new
water plant
Although attorneys for the water works
have no advice to the effect, it is said
that the members of the special committee
have received inside information that the
decision Of Judge Smith Mcpherson in the
water works injunction suit will be handed
down Monday One member of the special
Fcomnlittee, it is said. has been advised
that the decision will be adverse to the
! city and will hold that the company's fran
! chise is operative until January, 1908.

works company. when asked as to this
yesterday said: well, as far as I am
concerned this is all news to me. ! have
not been advised, neither have l received
any inside information to the effect that
Judge Mcpherson is expected to hand down
his decision Monday. OF course | shall
be glad to have him do so and doubly SO
If the decision is in our favor

Labor and Big Dividends in
England.

The drastic action of the new liberal
government in England as to Chinese
lbor in the Rand gold district comes
100 late to interfere with the expert
ment of the employment of that class
of labor in the mines. Under licenses
granted before Lord Elgin's prohibi-
tion order about $4,000 coolies will
come to the mines, which, with the
large force already employed, will
sufficiently supply the mines with la
Dor. The increase in the production
of Rand gold has been rapid, and it is
expected that there will be great
further increase this year. The num-
Der of Chinese employed when all have
arrived will be about $4,000. 1t is es-
timated that the savings in wages by
the employment of Chinese is 9e per
month as compared to white labor, or
more than 81, 200, O,OOOs per year.-Phe-

Convention of the Arizona Miners AS
SociatIon.

Arrangements are progressing IA
vorably for the annual convention of
the Arizona Miners association at Bis
bee, commencing April 9th.
All the railroads in the territory
have granted rate of one and one
fifth of the regular fare for round
trip ticket, on the certificate plan.
These tickets will be on sale at all
stations, and it is confidently expected
that this will insure a large attend
ance from every part of the territory.
Arrangements are now being per-
fected for the running of a number of
free excursions from Bisbee during
convention week for the benefit of
members of the association. One trip
will be to Douglas, the greatest smell
ter town in the southwest. Another
will be to Cananea, one of the greatest
mining camps in the world. A third
trip will be to Clifton, over a railroad
remarkable for its engineering fea-
lures and scenic attractions.

Colorado, to turn over to his partner,
James Henshall, the neat fortune Of
10,0O0S. Slater and Henshall had been
partners in a mining claim, near Sill
verton, Colorado, for twenty-five years.
and with the decline in silver several
years ago, the mine was almost worth
less. Recent events, however, in that
section has made the property very
valuable, and an offer of 25,000S was
made for it. Mr.. Slater started for
Clifton to make the necessary trans
actions in such matters with his part
ner, and found that about month ago
Mr.. Henshall had died, and the hand
that would have so willingly taken the
gold was cold and pulseless under the
ground.-Clifton Herald.

1t is the policy of the smelling COM
pany to make the zinc mining and
smelling industries of the state as i'm
portant factors as the lead and silver
mining and smelling. Hitherto the
great bulk of the zinc ores had to be
shipped abroad to Belgium, and more
recently to Kansas. This meant that
only the higher grades of the ore
could be mined, and it also resulted in
the loss to the state of the cost of re-
duction and refining. Now the ores
will be smelted at home.
The new plant will give employment
to 600 hands. Plans are now being
made and we expect to break ground
in the near future. This is of no lit
tie Importance to zinc shippers, as it
will cut the cost of concentrating and
shipping the concentrates to Europe
and Kansas.-Mining Record.

The prospector, and even the mine
manager, however well acquainted
with the common ores of gold, silver,
lead and copper, may often overlook
other material of value. A notable
example of this kind of mining is Civ
en- by the Hidden Fortune mine, which
was put into the hands of a receiver
because it would not pay. Since his
incumbency, the receiver has obtain d
money enough for current expenses
from the safe OF rock from an old
dump pile, which averages over zoos a
ton in wolfram. 1t pays to go to the
laboratory sOmetimes.-Exchange.

Discovery of the comstock.

II was some ten years after the dis
covery of gold in California that the
mineral wealth in Nevada began to at
tract attention, writes Sam Davis, in
Sunset Magazine for February. Re
ports foated back from Old Washoe,
as the country was known at that
time, and many a miner who had not
met with good luck in the golden state
drifted across the mountains and went
into the scramble for wealth on the
other side. The men who struck the
first trail which led them eventually
to the Comstock, encountered gold
near the Carson river at the foot of the
ravine where Dayton now stands. They
followed up the gulch for miles and
panned out the ''punkin-seed' gold
which had been washed down from the
mother lode, since known the world
over as the Comstock. The silver end
of the game was not then in evidence,
except as sort of black refuse which
congested the sluice boxes. Finally,
the Grosh brothers, who were skilful
assayist and metallurgists, reached the
scene of action and made an assay,

A Colorado Springs dispatch says:
Practically all officers and directors
were reelected at the annual meeting
in this city of the Animas Power and
Water Company, which owns the big
lockwood dam, located in the San
Juan valley, between Durango and
Silverton. The company on April l
will start operations on the big power
plant. The lockwood dam conserves
an immense body of water which gen.
crates 5000 horse power. The dam is
80 feet in height and the present water
head is 1000 feet. The dam now con-
serves water from Cascade creek, but
it is planned to store the water from
Lime creek, to increase the height of
the dam to 10 feet, and thus double
the storage capacity. 1t is ultimately
expected to increase the equipment so
as TO generate from 10000 to 10000
horse power. To that end a seven
mile tunnel costing approximately l.
600, ,000S will be driven to divert the
water from its natural course, after
which it will be returned to its origi-
nal channel. According to President
Jameson the company plans ultimately
to furnish the power to all the mines
in the district. The country is under
laid with immense bodies of low grade
ore, which cannot now be handled at a
profit, because of the heavy power ex-
pense. Mr.. Jameson declares that the
Animas company plant will be able to
furnish power at one-half to one-thir1
the present cost, and conditions will
prevail similar to those in British Col
umbia, where at the Treadwell mine
ore running only % per ton can be
mined at profit.

Schwab's Opinion of Tonopah.

The Daily Journal of Commerce of
San Francisco, recently published an
interview with c. NJ. Schwab, the
millionaire mine owner. In answer to
questions about his mining interests at
Tonopah, he said:
81 have invested many millions and
1 have made some good buys, thanks
to John McKane. 1 bought the Tono-
pah Extension mine for 75,0OOS, and
wouldn't take 2O,O0O,OOOS for it today.
II don't want to discourage any one
else's mine, but l think we have in the
Tonopah Extension one of the worlds
greatest producers. 1t is wonderful
the way the ore is taken out of there.
We are taking out from 100 to 80 tons
a day all in good values. We are down
only 700 feet and the stuff is getting
better all the time and there seems to
be no end to il.
II have made a personal contract
with the smelters to handle the output
of my mines for The next twenty years,
no matter how much ore 1 take out. -
A New York special to the Denver
Mining Record says: AS showing the
value of one of the many propert es
belonging to the group of the Greene
Gold-Silver Mining Company, the gen
eral superintendent of the property,
w. w. Allen, writes to Colonel w. c..
Greene, president of the Company, re-
garding one ore shoot, as follows: Il
have thought it desirable to make a
computation to show what might be
expected from mining the Navidad
claim alone and milling the product
on the ground. In making this COM
putation l have planned to leave all of
the ore above our No. l tunnel undis-
turbed, as a measure for protecting
the mine from surface water, having
reached the conclusion from my in
spection of the Concheno company's
mine, that the vein is quite dry at
depth, and that we can very well af-
ford to leave from 100 to 200 feet of
ore in the outcrop, and take it out
years hence, when the mine is ready
to be abandoned. In making this es-
innate. l have assumed that 80 per
cent only of the vein matter within
the Navidad claim will yield ore worth
15S, United States currency, a ton,
and that it will cost los a ton to mine
and mill it, leaving IS ton profit. To
arrive at these figures l have taken
the Concheno company's costs and
added somewhat to them to cover the
increase in the cost to us of furnishing
a water supply, as well as to cover the
cost of extensive installation, which
will be required on the surface. Fur
ther, have assumed the width of the
vein to be eight feet, which is the
narrowest we have found it. After
figuring the various blocks separately,

A telegram received today from
Casa Grlnde confirmed the correctness
of geological calculations made nearly
two years ago by Prof. ]. w. Prout,
as to the location of the true assure in
the Christmas Gift mine, which is 10
Gated % miles south of Casa Grande.
There is considerable tradition about
this mine. Nearly quarter of a cen
tury ago a rich deposit of gold ore was
discovered in the mine. 1t was lost
however and could not again be found.
The mine came into possession of Col.
William Griffith and E. P. Drew, who
sold it two years ago to Denver par
ties. Prof. Prout, who examined
carefully the geolo gical condition, de-
cided that the lode would he found at
a depth of 80 feet and at point 80
feet to the south of the bottom of the
shaft. Acting on this report the Den
yer people sank their shaft and began
prosecuting. They met with many
discoura renents AMI reports were
made from time to time that work had
been abandoned. Today, however, a
telegram came from Supt. George T.
Graves stating that the dyke had been
found within two feet of where Prof.
Prout stated it was located.-Tucson
