THE POST OFFICE
POSTMASTER PRATT AND EVERY
EMPLOYEE DOING ALL POSI-
BILE TO ASSIST THE PUBLIC.

The Post Office officials did every
thing in their power this morning to
assist the public in the matter of get
ting mail matter into the mails in the
best possible shape. There was not an
unusually large mail, but there was an
unusual amount of incertitude in the
minds of people concerning mail, be-
cause of the effects of the San Fran
cisco disaster
Scores of people We're sending letters
to friends and relatives in the strick-
en- city. The great destruction there
ana the uncertainty as to what parts
are still standing, and the necessary
result of chaos, perpleXed people as to
how to address their letters.
Many likewise We're sending money
by registered mail, and of course were
anxious that it should get to the loved
ones without delay.
Postmaster Pratt was down at the
office early this morning and both he
and every post Office employee did ev-
erything in their power to assist people
in getting their mail off. Advice was
sought as to the best thing to do IN
der every conceivable circumstances
due to the present disturbance. It was
helpfullly given whenever asked. and
every effort was made to facilitate and
simplify matters.

was in the burned district. Realizing
that it would be useless to try and ca

and sister were to dine on Monday ev-

beyond the destroyed part of tn city,
to see if she knew anything of his

Mr.. Kimball thinks from the reply
received that as soon as possible after
the earthquake his mother and sister
took the train and left for Boston.
They We're to go to Southern California
and the fact that they did not is suf-
ficicnt to cause Mr.. Kimball to believe
that they were in San Francisco at the

railroad for the last few years, with varying results, has struck a large de- nosit of lead and silver ore carrying high values in gold. Mir. Bignon is not saying anything about this valu- able strike. but is taking out ore and piiing 1t up on the dump
 In Yavapai county the Tiger Mining company is projecting a narrow gauge road from the Crown King depot to its property and the building of a hotel and other houses. The Mount Union Consolidated Gold Mining company has begun the building of a tramway to connect the mill with the wagon road on the summit of the mountain. It will be about 2,500 feet long and will enable the teams between the property and the Poland railroad station to make two trips daily instead of one. Other improvements are being made at the mill. Messrs. Bradrick tS McKinnon have leased the old slag dump at the Val Verde smelter and will work over at the Humboldt plant such slag as carries sufficient values. The Triangle Mines company at McCabe has struck some good ore in the bottom of a shaft 100 feet deep. R. c. Houston has struck eighteen inches of shipping ore in the Olden mine twelve miles from Kirkland. He thinks it is a reopening of an old ore shoot worked many years ago and at the time believed to have been worked out.

JuANITA Ii. @ If. Go.
Annual neeting shows FIattering
 Conditions.

The recent meeting of the Juanita Mining and Milling company in this city was characterized by unusual good will end Unanimity of opinion among those present and after the report of the work for the past six months was fully gone over by the president, their feelings of confidence in the manage ment and present board of directors was shown by their reelection to serve for the coming year, the vote being unanimous.
 It was shown in the report that the work had practically proven the com pany had two good mines in the Old Kentuek and the Tom & Dick lodges, in the Hassayampa district of Yavapai county and it only needs further de- velnpment to show how extremely rich they are
 The Tom & Dick ledge is a true fis- sure vein extending from the center Of Mineral Hill claim on the north. cross ing the Tom & Dick claim and ending in the center of the Bessie claim ir all a distance of 25O0 feet with a continu- ous outcropping of an average of eight feet in width. This has been pro- nounced by experts to be the largest gold bearing ledge in the west. Tha surface assays $1O.4O a ton while at T depth Of eighteen feet It assays Sl0.41 a ton. This shaft is Axe and the en- tire shaft IS in ore Of the same value.
 The old Kentuck ledge has also shown by the work done on it that 1t too will make a big paying mine. Tke outcropings while not so continuous as that of the Tom & Dick are strong and average two feet in width, extending the entire length of the claim. The first assay gave values of from four tn six dollars a ton and have increased till at the breast of the tunnels the as says are S39.50 per ton. at a depth of fifty-five feet and the vein here is four feet wide In addition to the many feet of tunnel and shaft work done the company has built a new boarding house. blacksmith shop and barns for the horses. All these buildings are substantial and well built.
 It was the opinion of all those pres ent that the company had done very well during the first six months work and most of those present have en- gagged more stock.
 The officers elected for the ensuing year are D. A. Seaman, president; Curtis Miller, vice president; Joseph Schween, secretary; R. w. Seaman, treasurer. and E. c. Warren. superin- tendent

THE WHITE TANKS
 MINING DISTRICT
A Party of PhpeniCians to Visit Pro-
 perties There.

s. s. Green had arranged to leave Friday with party of a dozen or more Phoenix people for the White Tanks mining district north of the Buckeye section. The rain, however, interfered with the plans Pnd the expedition has been postponed for a few days.s Those going had the twofold purpose of a rice outing trip and an examInatioa of the Gila Gold Lode mme. with--a possible view to investment.
 The Gila Gold Lode is in the foot hills of the White Tank m1untains. There are nine other properties in this same region in all of which there is considerable development and this district is bound to become in the near future a great mining camp. The GiIa Gold Lcde has 1,475 feet of work done. besides quite a good many improve ments on the surface in the way of buildings. The shaft had been sunk to the depth of 300 feet and drifts every fifty feet ranging from 50 % 3SO feet. Large bodies of ore have been deVelo- ped, increasing with depth. The val ues vary from a few dollars to over $1O0 per ton, the high-grad ore being in smaller bodies and tine low-gTade in proportiOnately larger bodies. The ore bodies are from three tO nine feet in width, the average value of the ore is from $5 % SIP q ton, and is Classed as free milling. The ledge matter shows a width of nine feet and in creases with depth At the bottom of the shaf3 it is over twenty-siX feet in width.
 The property conists of ten full claims and is located near an excellent farming community with no roads to build and with water developed on the property Plenty of wood for fuel for years can be had at $2 a cord. Men who are looking for mining invest ments want large bodies of paying ore rathcr than a few pockets Of high grade ore, and it r. the quantity of the pay ore that decides whether or not it becomes a dividend payer.

THE IDEAL COMPANY.
Has Shipped Over Twenty Carloads of
 Ore to HumIoldt This Year.

Since the first of the year, the Ideal company has shipped twenty car loads of ore to Humboldt taking the ore just as it is shot down from the ore bodies, which range in width from two to five feet, and in places six seven and even eight. Each car holds twenty-five tons, approximately, there fore the ore shipped amounted to 525 tons. In pounds this foots up to the large amount of 100000 pounds. Re liable information at hand justifies the statement that the ore will average S27.50 per ton. The ore in the McCabe is richer than the Gladstone product If the ore were sorted a product aver aging over S60 per ton could be taken out and shipped, leaving a lower grade mill ore. With the Humboldt plant so near at hand it is not necessary to ship any more ore to EI Paso, Denver or other points outside the county. The money thus saved to the company in freight is very large per month"; Journal Miner.

THE WEEK IN
 THE HILLS
A Busy One for the Miners
 and Operators
News Comes From Every Charter of New Strikes, Increased Develop ment and Transfer of Property.

The notable thing in the Arizona mining world during the last week s the fact that the territorial press has been brimming full of news of property sales and better still a myriad of short items about the development of new properties and the rehabilitation of old ones all over Arizona. Many of them are mentioned in succeeding items but in this one reference will be briefly made to others of which extended men ton is impossible for lack of space.
 In the Troy Manhattan pr perty new strike of chalcopyrite ore is re- ported of large size and unusual val ues. The shaft on the Golden Culver mine No. is down 11O feet and is all in ore Work is held up little at the Woolley mine by the non arrival of the new pump. George Sarrick has a group of copper claims within few hundred yards of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad that look well and ought to attract the attention of capi- tai Work or the Lake Superior IS showing up well but is retarded also, waiting for the installation of new pumps.

on the properties of the Western Queen Mines company. unwatering it's shafts and otherwise getting the camp in shape to commence operations there on an extensive scale, says the Journal Miner
 The group consists of six claims, embracing an acerage of over 12O acres. situated about four miles in Q southerly direction from Poland, the present terminus of the Poland branch of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, and connected with that place by a fairly good wagon Boad. Upwards of SS0.C0O worth of development work has been done on the group, and about 10000 tons of second class ore is now on the dumps, a large amount of which will sample s25 to the ton in gold sil- yer and copper, the silver values pre- dominating.
 Dr. J. E. McNally, president and gen eral manager of the company, when interviewed yesterday. stated that as soon as the water was taken out of the shaft a crosscut would be started to the ledge to connect it with the old workings, which were abandoned sev- eral years ago. owing to the great de- cline in the price of silver and made quate transportation facilities. He be- lieves that with very little expense the mines can be placed on a paying basis now that the Arizona Smelling com pany at Humboldt will open a market for the ores mined. which carry a high percentage Of copper and lead, and of a character suitable to reduction by smelting process.

THE NAco SHELTER.
The Budget Says Nothing Can Prevent
 It- Building Now.

Whatever doubts may have been felt locally in the minds of some people as to the ultimate construction of the smelter projected at this point by tha Naco Smelling and Refining company should be forever laid to rest in view of the latest developments in the situ- alton, says the Naco Budget.
 Of course, something might happen after all that would defeat the enter prise-the town, for instance, might be destroyed by an earthquake-but noth- ing much less than a cataclysm of this sort could possibly prevent the erec- tiOn of the plant now.
 The plant will cost in the neighbor- hood of $75.000. Its initial capacity will be 250 tons, but the projectorl, realizing that this is insufficient 70 handle the volume of business they will be required to do, will construct 1t with a view to enIargements from time to time as needed. There will be employed at the works from 125 to 175 men-a pay roll that will prove a valu- able and appreciated addition to the towns resources.

THE TRANQUILITY HOIST.
The Machinery Destroyed By Fire to
 Bc Quickly Replaced.

The Tombstone Consolidated com pany has a force of men at work re- moving the debris caused by the burn ing down of the Tranquility hoist last Thursday night, and will soon have another building erected, says the PrOspector. The present plan is to tear down the gallows frame and turn it around, placing the new hoist on the dump, on the west side instead of on the east. where it stood before.
 The hoist engine was totally ruined by the fire, and foundation cracked in several places by the excessive heat The engine now at the Stonewall, or Oregon, as it is now called, will be taken down cnd moved over to the Tranquility. It is expected now that the work of rebuilding will occupy about months time. With good luck the Tranquility will be producing ore again by the middle of February.

THE THEIsINe MINE.
It Is Now Numbered Among the Yava-

Vim. Theising brought to Prescott from his mine on Turkey creek a bar of about thirty ounces of gold cleaned from the plates of his Tremain mill.
 The mt,l ts 1o-T running day and night on ore that will average about S20 per ton gold. On account of the character of the ore, a lead carbonate. only a small percentage of the values are caught on the plate, perhaps be- tween $7 and $S per ton. The tailings run $9 per ton, and the balance of the values are saved in the concentrates.
 In about thirty days Mr. Theising will put in a cyaniding plant to work the tailings. He now has about TOO tons of the latter in the dump back of the mill. He says that when his cya- hiding plant is operating he will make considerable money as that will be velvet"

THE COMMONWEALTH MINE.
Another Cave-in Occurred There Last
 Monday.

News was received in Tombstone of a second big cave-in at the Common wealth mine at Pearce which occurred on Monday. The cave-in was a slide of several acres adjoining the first de- pression and extended from the lower level to the surface. says the Prospec- tor. As the cave-in was in a worked out section of the mine not much dam age resulted. the cave filling in the inn mense underground chambers from which ore lad been extracted. The main sScft WIS not injured and the underground operations will not be af- fected The cave-in, however, left it's mark on the surface, as number of steam feed pipes running to the mill were bent and broken making it nec- essary to close the mill until same were repaired. Operations at full ca pacity in both mine and mill have been rsumed and but little attention given to the caVc-in.

PINE MOUNTAIN MILL.
It Is Expected to Be Regular Pro-
 ducer Hereafter.

J. S. Carmichael superintendent and part owner of the Pine Mountain Min ing company, brought to Prescott a few days ago a fine bar of gold bullion the product of Pine Mountain ores.
 The mill, which has ten stamps. was started in on the night shift a few days ago, and will now run day and night for an indefinite period. The proper ties produce sufficient ore to keep the mill supplied. There are nine miners and six or eight men around the mill.
 The mcEn shaft Of the Pine Noun tain company is now down to a depth of 500 feet and shows a fine body of ore at that depth. When cold weather is over sinking will be resumed and the shaft put down another hundred feet or more, says the Journal Miner.
 Drifts have been run 43O feet from the 500 level end expose a fine body of ore, averaging in width from one to four feet. Tie ore runs at present from $1O to SIP per ton in gold. There the stopes are being carried upwards, and there is no waste material being handled. as the ore body is as wide as the stope. MT. Carmichael states that
