certain restrictions and standards
to receive from the State not less
than 500 and not exceeding $500,
to duplicate such amounts or more
raised by the district or districts, or
county and by private subscription
Properly managed, this measure
will be of additional advantage to
our county, village and town

From the Florence Blade.
 Ben Eaton and Tom Hall have se- cured contract to sink 100-foot shaft on the McSherry properties in the Kelvin district, and commenced work on the shaft the first of the week.
 Manager Frank Sharps says the test run of the Kelvin Reduction company s plant made last week proved success ful, and that the plant will be started on steady run in few days.
 The Southern Bell properties in the Old Hat district have recently been purchased by company that will commence work on a large scale at once. These properties have produced considerable gold in the past, the ore having been run through ten stamp mill located on the ground.
 The Desert Queen is running day and night as it has been for some time, and making regular shipments of gold bull lion every thirty days. An additional five stamps is to be added to the mill, the machinery being on the way also a new boiler While the output is not given to the public at large, it is under stood to be highly satisfactory, as the enlarged mill capacity indicates.
 Gates M. Fowler, of Phoenix, repre- senting the Recommendations Copper company, has secured a working bond on the Wood-Sower group of claims located near Winkleman. These claims have immense iron-capred copper crop pings with copper carbonates and OK ides occurring in few places on the surface, but generally the copper has all leached. Numerous assays for gold have been made from the mass of iron croppings with results ranging from $2 to $5 per ton. This property is well known to mining men of the Kelvin section, and all agree that it is one of unusual promise, as the croppings indi- cate large deposit of copper.

 The New Year was hailed with de- light by local shareholders of the New England and Clifton Copper company, for the reason that shipment of ore was commenced on that date, which means that from now on the company will be on self-supporting basis. Ore is now being hauled by wagons from the mines at the rate of fifteen tons per day, which will be increased to forty or fifty tons per day as soon as the tramway can be completed, which will no doubt be in operation sometime in February. The company is now working forty men in their mines and a small force on the construction of the tramway, which will be increased, besides the men employed in transport ing the ores, making in all quite nice payroll, the benefit of which will be felt in business cirles.
 The Columbus Copper company of New York was recently incorporated for the purpose of developing mining property near Metcalf. Chas. E. Stew ovens, a man of much experience in the district, is in charge of the prop erty, and has already commenced work. Good ore is already being taken out, and it is expected that shipping will soon be commenced.
 On New Years day the local man. agement was informed by wire from the main office in New York that in future all shipments of ore would be made to the Detroit Copper company at Morenci, instead of the Shannon Copper company, which has treated the ore for the past two years. As here tefore, the ore will be delivered at the terminal brns of the company on the Coronado railroad. near Metcalf. The change was a surprise to the people here, as it was the first intimation they have had that the D. C. company was in the market for local ores. This is new departure on the part of the D. C. people. which is of much interest to the district in general, as it means local competition for local ores.

 It is reported that Harvey Hubbs has discovered valuable gold mine in the foot hills near Yucca. Assays from the ore run high and many specimens show free gold. The vein is quite large.
 E. F. Thomson has let a contract to sink the shaft on the Idaho mine, Ger bat, fifty feet deeper. At the bottom of the shaft there is four foot body of ore that averages s25 in goll and silver, and Mir. Thompson proposes to ship couple of carloads to the shelter to ascertain just what can be done with it. The mine is in one of the best gold belts in the county.
 c. D. Pickering, superintendent of the Yucca Cyanide M. X M. company is in Kingman. He reports that every thing is in readiness at the mine for the reception of the big compressor, which is expected at Yucca today. When the compressor IS Tn place work on the deep working shaft will be pushed as fast as possible. It is in- tended to sink this shaft to the depth of 1000 feet. The mine in the new workings looks fine and big bodies of rich ore are in sight.

have county will contribute large part of the tonnage.
 The first shipment of ore from the Banner group of mines to the Needles shelter has been made. About car load was brought in by the big ore teams and will go out to the Needles tomorrow. This ore is from the drift and shaft in the mine and is very rich in gold, silver and lead Hundreds of tons of ore is piled up at the mine and much of it will be dressed up in the mill and shipped with the richer ma terial that the mine produces. In the breast of the drift the ore still shows handsome values in the form of native and ruby silver. Work is progressing on both drift and winze.

From the Courier.
 It is good news to the people of Prescott to know that H, J. Beemer is letting contracts for development work on Storm Cloud group of mines, located about twelve miles south of this city in Hassayampa district. About 1900 feet of sinking, drifting and cross cutting will be done. These are very promising properties from which good deal of ore has been worked with sat isfactory results. Should development work make these properties what sur face showings and present workings indicate, there will be considerable mining camp spring up around the Storm Cloud in the not distant future. The development of that group of mines means a great deal for Prescott.
 Frank Barr brought in some fine looking gold-copper ore from the claims of the Little Brother Gold Mining com pany. The ore IS heavy with mineral, and the free gold visible to the naked eye showed well on some of it. These properties are located near Prescott, in Copper Basin district, and are four miles from Skull Valley and less than three miles from the line of the P. X A. c. railway. There is abundance of water and plenty of wood for all pur- poses near at hand. MT. Barr says the lodges on these mines range from two to six feet wide, while the pay streak ranges from IS to 20 inches in width; that the whole group makes fine showing of gold and copper ore.

Is the United Verde Copper com pany planning to move It's smelting plant, seven miles from it's present location. to the Verde valley. because a railroad is to be built from the Santa Fe main line south through the Verde valley and to Phoenix?
 Senator w. 4. Clark during wis to Jerome 8 few weeks ago gave or ders that a 1oo-foot tunnel be driven into the bottom of the mountain on which the United Verde mil .cated. This tunnel when completed will tap the ore bodies 1000 feet ba- low the surface.
 General Manager Viii l.. Clark is carrying out Senator Clark's orders, and large force of men has begun work at the mouth of the tunnel, which will be several months in building. It will be one of the long est mine tunnels in the west. United Verde officials are reticent regarding the real purpose of this tun nel. their explanation of its building being that it is to carry the water out of the mine instead of having to pump it.

 "The net profits in October were s3S7 GOO. The net extraction Of cop per per ton in that month was 4I pounds, from which the above profits were realized"
 Colonel Greene's cost sheets show that the reduction in costs per ton ol ore in two years has amounted ts about s2 ton In the period Janu ary i. 1905, to July 31, 1905. the cos per ton was $4.259: from August l lSo5, to January 1, 1906. it was low cred to $2.3I3.

But the water in the United Verde is said to be well handled now Some say that the water can be well taken care of through a much shorter tun- mel. ready in operation. which enters the ore bodies 500 feet below the sur face
 The mouth of the 100-foot tunnel Is but a short distance from the edge Of the Verde valley, where there is an abundance of water for smelling pur- poses. With railroad running throsn the valley the United Verde would handle its ores through the IoOO-foot tunnel more economically than any mining company in Arizona.
 Frcm the ore chutes to the smelter the ore would be handled entirely by gravity.
 Those who have been in Jerome re gently and have had an opportunity 10 fully grasp the possibilities of the big tunnel the United Verde has started to build are of the opinion that t means some big change in the melting of the company's ores. which could not be brought about without 6 railroad.
