AMALGGMATED.

The presence in Bisbee during the past two weeks of the Pohndorfs, 4. J. and sen, A. P. Pohndorf. augurs well for the alacrity with which these gentlemen are about to push work on their Huachuca property recently bonded from Fowler and Mitchell.
 The first payment was made to the latter gentlemen by A. J. Pohndorf at one of the local banks during the early part of last week.
 Pohndorf, senior. arrived in Bisbee from Butte, Montana, last Tuesday, leaving for the property in. the Hua- chucas on Wednesday evening.
 The work on the new road from the San Pedro river to the property has been let out under contract. NegotIa- tions are now pending, and It Is ex- pccted that force of men will DC inaking the dirt fly preparatory to the shipments of heavy machinery.
 AS yet no order has been placed for the machinery that is to be installed at the earliest possible date, dels be, ing under way for purchase at either Butte or Fl Paso. The company, said to be composed of men high in Anal gamated circles, has an option on machinery in Butte, but if prices at Fl Paso re right the purchase will be made there.
 surveying gang from the office of H. W. Joergensen Is making rapid Progress with their lines for the pro posed road. They have been out or the work for the greater part of Jhe last month.
 Thomas Stafford, formerly foreman at the L. s. & P. mine here, has beeI chosen to superintend the development work and it is the opinion of those who know that no better man could have been secured for the place Stafford is well known to his Em. ployers having operated at Butte for years before coming to Arizona. Oi late he has been in charge of the Princeton group, adjoining the prop erty he will now superintend, and his work there has resulted in nego tiations for the sale of the Princeton mines.

are subject to the mineralogical laws of expansion and contraction. A vein may be only five feet wide at one point on a level and 50 feet wide. 90 or 40 feet away from the narrow point. On one level it may show only the walls and be 100 feet wide, 100 feet deeper.
 Several Butte copper mines have more than one vein. Some have four and five, some two and some three. all commercial. In addition, there may be few ranging in width from foot to three feet. In other sections of the West these would be called veins, but in Butte they are known as "stringers,' especially in mines where wide veins prevail.
 The East Butte Extension company. through Frank H. Coonel, it's manager, has bOughC the surface equipment ma cbinery of the Columbus-Butte com paGy and will use it on it's own prop erty. The entire lot, which is said 70 have cost more than S10,0OO was bought for S1,00O by MT. Cooney ar shertff's sale.
 The company has finished it's pre- cipitaing tower and tanks at East Butte Extension shaft No. 3 and is filling them with old iron preparatory to catching the copper in the water that comes from the workings of the mine. This water is thrown up through a siX-inch pipe lined with wood. The new hoisting engine at shaft No. 2 is good for 1000 feet. A 120-horse pow CT boiler has been set up between shafts Nos. and and both engines will operate with power from it. MT. CCOney started East in the interest Of the company Tuesday night and ex- poets to be away about three weeks. He will visit Boston, New York and other cities.
 The company is making regular shipments from shafts and 5. No. is 130 feet deep, No. i is 90 feet and No. 5 is 90 feet, but sinking in the latter has been suspended temporari iy in order 10 permit the setting of the machinery. This work will be finished in few days and sinking will be re- sumed.

in the fact that the directors, neces- sarily widely separated and busy men could not hold frequent meetings and the responsibility of decision of many matters of importance must of neces- sity be left to the secretary.
 These problems have been met by the recent amendments providing for an executive committee with power to act in the interim between meetings of the directors, and for the increase of the annual dues from s2,00 to 5000, which is believed to be sufficient to meet the necessary expenses; not so high as to prohibit the membership of any reputable mining man and yet high enough to keep out unworthy y men.
 The third objection was met by an amendment to the bylaws which linn its the powers of any one state to con trol the organization. Under this clause Colorado with one thousand members would have no greater in- fluence in the selection of the gov erning body than Oregon, Washington and Idaho with thirty members pres cnt at any annual meeting. That this amendment should have been passed by the unanimous vote of the Colorado r embers present at the recent meet ing of members indicates the desire on their part to foster a nationl or ganiZation on broad, comprehensive lines.
 It is believed that the beginning of a new era for tho American Mining Congress- was marked by the recent changes in i;s bylaws, and that the organization is now upon a basis which will commend it to the judg, ment of all mining men who realize the importance of cooperation in at fecting . solution of the many prob, lsms os ore production.

TR ANS SVAhL.

From the Transvaal Copper Cos mines near Cumpas, Sonora, comes the report that production there IS netting daily 175 tons of high grade ere, from which 40 per cent matte is being shipped to the ew ork refineries. The plant of the company on the river has been enlarged and surface i'm proYements to meet the needs of tie output of the mines are under way, many being already completed.
 The Transvaal is situate about twelve miles from the Cumpas river md con5sts of 794 pertenencias, to- sether with 25,O00 ayres of timber and grazing lands, in the Moctezuma dis trict. It is fast becoming one of the big producers of Sonora.
 The shelter site of the Transvaai company is on the river. near Cumpas. Sf Ipments from the mine are made by wagon road at present. but a mar row guage railroad is among the EToiected Improvements.
 Considering the fact that active de veiopment of the ore bodies at the TransVaal WAS begun but four years ago, the production is little short Of wonderful Nature, while she has dealt kindly with the Transyaal in the matter of ore deDosits has been none too kind in the rugged country thrown up about the mines. With steam roads 10 handle the output of the mines, the Transvaal is expected to rank among the biggest producers in Sonora.

AMERICANMINING CONGRESS HAS
 NEW PLANS
Amendments Recently Adopted Mark Beginning of a New
 Era For Congress,

The amendments recently adopted by the American Mining Congress mark the beginning of a new era for that organization. He'eiO'nce it's W"iK has consisted almost entirely of hold :ngs its annual session, at which mat ters of importance were discussed
 and resolutiCrs adopted embodying tGe ccncensus of opinion, through the in have been accomplished. With the creation of permanent headquarters
 at Denver the work of the Congress was enlarged and plans were made for the creation of permanent exhibit of commercial ores of the whole country, a complete mining library, a labora- tory for qualitative analyses, a bu- reau of information OF all subjects connected with mining, and a com pact organization through which the problems of mining might be solved,- all these so planned as to be a practi- caol school Cf mining in which the practial mining man could find a so- lutlon Of particular problems and the novice attracted to the mining busi- ness by the pTincely success of Cam pion, Stratton, Newhouse, Walsh and others could here gain that knowE edge common to all men in close touch with the mining business, the lack of which is responsible for so many failures in the mining world It IS also planned to furnish such informa- tiOn to intending investors as would serve to guard them against palpable frauds, and place mining on an in- yestment rather than a speculative basis q
 These plans could not be carried out without considerable expense, and the provision made for the expense of an annual convention only was found 10 be entirely inadequate. Again it was found that the fixing of perma- nent headquarters aC Denver created the impression that the Mining Con sress was liable to become a Denver organization rather than serve tile broad purpose of national institution with which the mining men from every section of the country could CO., operate and to which all could turn for assistance in the solution of those problems which require united action and which are of general interest.

COPPER MARKET DULL BUT NOT
 WEAKENING
That Is the Opinion Expressed in Boston By Prominent
 Copper Man.

A copper man says: The copper market is dull. but that is no indica- ton of weakness. Most of the copper producers of the country are sold ahead 10 September at from IS 1-2 to 19 cents per pound, and, notwithstand- iLg this. the consumers are not unduiy stocked and within a month 1 predict that they will all be in tho market again for new supplies which will take care of the production of this country up to Jan. l.
 Tt was only a few years ago that the production of copper in this coun- try amounted annually to but 500,- G00,000 pounds and we were wonder iES where all the copper could be placed. Now the production is over the 1,O0O,OOO,0OO pound mark and there is a greater demand for it than when production was only one-half that amount.
 There will not be a reaction ir bus inesss until there is over production. Such is not the case today. There is demand for all the iron, steel, hides, wool and osber raw material that is rlOduced. and the finished products are going into consumption as fast as produced. We are not even ship ping surplus products to foreign coun- tries as has been the case in previous periods of prosperity in this country.
 Business is on healthy basis and everybody in the country is employed at the best salaries and wages ever paid.
 q believe the decline in the se- curity markets is the result of trOu- bIes Tn Wall street rather than in the business of the country. and that this is not true reflex Of business con diIions Sentiment is bearisa i'll the stock market because stocks were .Over-boomed and the rich men re- fused to step in and Duy back stocks from the public at the hign level. There has been 10 incentive for the rich men to relieve Ire public of stocks at the highest level Of pTiGss. ir many cases, in the history of LEs country, when they are under attack by the national and ali the state leg islatures

Some Of the Butte copper mines contain wide ore bodies but on ac- count of the fact that the men en- ployed in taking out the ore are ac- cuEtomed to seeing wide ones, very little is said about their width. In the West COlusa, the workings of which are only 1,600 feet deep; there is one vein the width of which is about 400 feet, and it is all commer- cial copper ore, some Of it being high grade. The West Colusa is one of the oldest producing mines in Butte and has yielded an enormous quanti- ty Of ore. The great width of the main vein accounts for the fact thac 1t is not more than 1,60O feet deep. This vein is mined in sections in or der TO insure safety to the men. Eff teen feet at q time is removed be- tween levels, and as soon as the stoping of this area is finished. the space Is filled with waste and the ad- joining area made perfectly secure by bElkheading before there is any fur. ther attempt to remove another area. IL may be said that the extraction of ore from this mammoth vein is a lit tie more expensive than the cost of mining ir smaller veins because of the precautions that must be taken 10 prevent falls of ground.
 !n the AnacoRda mine there is a vein 200 feet wide in places, and the average width between the oxidiZed ore and the lowest point reached in the sulphides iS said to be more than ier feet. The same precautions as those used in the operation of the
 West ColuSa vein are necessary in the Anaconda.
 Tn other large copper mines in Butte he veins vary in width from three to 50 and 80 feet. Some are much wider iH places than at other points; they

REINs COPPER CO.

The Reins Copper Co. at Butte, Mont. has about reached the northern boundary of it's claim with a crosscut in the 1200-foot level without finding any vein. Officers and stockholders are much disappointed. They had been confident that a big vein would be found. as fair ore body was cut on the Se0-Root level. Another cross cut is to be driven at some point far Jher East in the belief that the vein has been cut off by fault and will be found there

Work at the Shattuck during the past week has produced nothing Of startling nature. Drifting on the coo is progressing at the usual rate of speed. Drifting on the 7G0 will be started during the coming week.
 The water has been pumped out on the 800 ana drifting has been start ed again.
 Stoping will soon be started and when the tramway is completed, which wifi be in early August, ship ping to the Douglas smelters will be- gin.

 Drifting on the 1000 finds the Denn still in porphyry. The drift to the southeast of the drill hole has passed through the conglomerate and is now in an altered limestone formation, with oCssional intrusions of ledge matter that give promise of ore.
 Dem is cutting a suDlp at the 1000 station and expects to start sinking there next week. Thus far water has been encountered in such small quan- tity hat there has been no use for the new pumps, but it is expected that the pumps will be started when sink ing is commenced.

BUTTE, Mont, June 3O.-The North Butte company has made splendid progress in tine work of setting up it's new engine and putting in the head frame, and the machinery waa given trial run this week with satisfactory results. It is not the intention of the company 10 begin using the engine until about the first week in July, for there are several odds and ends that must be looked after before the ma chinery is started on its regular run. It will probably be operated about week without cable attachments in or der to get it to going smoothly. Then the new cable will be attached. This work will require q little time.
 The head frame is not so higs as that of the new one at the Leonard but it is strong and substantial, and will stand all of the pressure of the cables and their loads. These loads will be somewhat heavier than those now coming to the surface, for the company intends to use skipo that will hold about four tons each.
 The output of the property is now between 500 and 900 tons a day, but the company believes that an iirtI crease of at lest GOO tons a day will mark the work when the new nG. chinery is operating at its best.
 The company has been recently opening up its ore bodies in goorl shape and soon will be in position to keep the engine busy during the en- tire twenty-four hours of each day. Tonnage is what it is after and ton mage is what it means to secure.
 Results of the settlement of the litigation that existed so many years between F. Augustus Hein2e and the Amalgamated Copper company, can be shown in the May copper output of Butte. The production. according to the figures compiled by an authority, is easily the best Of the year, and marks a record for this city
 The estimated production for May Was 32,8S1.450 pounds of copper which compares with 30,842 400 pounds for April. and is 3,534 ,63O pounds in excess of the average monthly production for the first four months of the year.
 The May production makes a new hign record mark for the Butte camp. the largest output In any single month previous to May having been in June, 1905. when 31, ,290,O00 pounds of copper were produced. The May production, therefore, is nearly 1,6OO,- 0O0 pounds in excess of any previous record.
 The production by months since the first Of the year has been as follows , Gin pounds):

COUNTY CANDIDATES.

No democratic candidate can be elect.
ed in this county except by republican
votes. There is no good reason in the
case Of any candidate why the republi-
can candidate should not receive his
party vote. Without meaning any per-
sonal detraction to the democratic can
didates, yet we assert that they are con-
fronted by republicans of at least equal
ability, and in most cases by republicans
OF more experience in the Offices sought.
While it is true that in the administra-
tion of the duties of most county offices
1t makes but little difference whether
the incumbent is republican or dem.
ocrat, yet it does make a great difference
to the respective parties and their flu.

ed in the success Of his party. A dozen
active politicians like these make poll
tical power, that counts for the party
at large as we'll as for themselves.
When a republican votes for a demo.
crat to fill county Office he is voting to
pay man who will have every personal
and political reason to defeat the repub.
lican party. The only excuse for re-
publican to vote for democratic candi-
date is that the republican candidate is
for some reason inferior in character

the county and legislative officers OF
this county no such reasons apply. In
