erty, which involves the installation Of . large hoisting plant, the erection of 6 bunk house for the accommodation or 2 larger force of miners and the lay ing of about 2,O0O feet of water pipe connecting a spring with the camp and the new hoisting plant.
 The new hoisting plant will be in' stalled at shaft which is now down to depth of l27 feet, and which con. meets with q tunnel s2O feet in length. The plan of development involves the sinking of the shaft to depth of 1000 feet, and the exploring of the vein by series of latcrals run from each lOd foot level as depth is gained.
 Work on the new improvement will begin when the machinery, lumber, etc. is delivered at the Eugenie siding on the Poland branch of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, which is situate in the immediate vicinity of the camp, reducing the heavy transportation charges involved in the delivery of machinery and supplies in localities re. mote from railroad communication.
 Seven of the eleven claims compos ing the Kinney group are held under UI itcd States patent, while all of the others have enough work and improve. ments performed on them to warrant the application of patent.
 These claims cover n series of veins and large porphyry dykes, which are developed in many places by shallow shafts, as well as by the tunnel se0 feet in length, connecting with the shaft, which is to be the scene of the principal operations. The ores in the mine carry good values in gold, sil. yer, lead and copper, the paystreak being continuous and strong through. out the entire workings.
 The camp IS situate in the heart of the Big Bug district, which ia one of the richest producing gold sections in the entire territory.

in metal prices to 13 cents or 14 cents. Speculative commitments in the cop pers are not large, and there are few, if any, undigested mining securities on the market.
 As pointed ont previously, copper occupies the strongest spot in the in' dustrial situation. While business reaction will undoubtedly 1cprcss the prices of all commodities, it would seem that copper must fare relatively better under adverse conditions, than any other. Those companies that make their product at lower cost and are in shape to both reduce and increase pro- duction. are sure to continue the pay ment of liberal dividends, and the stocks of such companies cannot fail to he among the best investments that one can secure at the present time.
 do not believe that the average price of copper during the coming five years will be lower than 15 cents per pound. On such level of prices the copper producers of the United States will secure an average profit of q cents per pound, and dividend pay. mcnts resulting will warrant higher values for copper stocks than those at present quoted. l believe that such stocks as Utah Consolidated, Copper Range, Greene, Granby, Amalgamated, Anaconda, Butte Coalition, Boston Consolidated, Utah Copper, Allouez and Bingham should he bought for investment every time they arc offered down.

COPPER CREEK MAY BE A GREAT
 CAMP.

In the opinion of John II. Hise, n mining engineer of many years cx- perienre in many of the principal min. ing camps of the west. the Copper tined within the next few years to D" among the leading copper producing camps of the entire territory.
 Speaking of the future prospects of that locality yesterday to a Journal.

UNPATENrED MINES ARE SUI
 JECT TO TAXATION.

That unpatented mines are subject to taxation on the same basis as pat. entcd mines and other classes of prop. erty within the territory appears to be conceded by attorney Eugene s. Ives, who represented Frank Powers, the owner of the Worlds Fair mine in Santa Cruz county, in an injunction suit against the sheriff and ex-of6cio assessor of that county to restrain that officer from the collection of taxes on the mine on the basis of q $500, 1000 va. luation. The matter was heard on Monday last in the district court at Nogales, when Mir. Ives agreed that the contention of Attorney General Clark, who was representing the inter. ests of the territory, was correct.
 After admitting the legality of the assessment, except as to the valua- tion placed upon the property and the right of the assessor 10 advertise and sell the property for taxes after five days notice, attorney Ives entered into n stipulation with the attorney. general that the injunction be dis. solved, on the condition that the board of supervisors of the county, sitting as n board of equalization, be allowed to pass upon the valuation, both sides to be bound by the valuation fixed by the board. The only question now at issue in the matter of the assessment is the valuation of the mine.
 The taxing of the unpatented mines in the territory will mean large ad- vance in the valuations of the different mining counties in the territory.
 Speaking of the joint statehood situ. alton in the southern part of the terri. tory, Mir. Clark, who returned yester- lays from Nogales, said; "Thc sensa. ton of the south and Santa Cruz county in particular, is the recent change of opinion of Con o 'Keefe, trea- snrer of Santa Cruz county, who was until recently one of the most ardent advocates of joint statehood, and one of the most influential ones.
 He is now working with more than his accustomed vim in the interest of the defeat of the joint statehood mea sure, and his change of front has prac' tically broken the backbone of the op position in the border county. l had talk with O'Keefe during my visit, and know from his own lips that he is now heart and soul with us, and ] believe that his recent action will be the cause of changing the opinions of many who now favor the measure be- fore the vote will be taken next No vember. Many assertions are reported from the cause of joint statehood in the south, so that it is certain that it will meet with overwhelming defeat in ev' cry county in the territ0ry.'

NO YAvAPAl ORES IN TERRI.
 TORIAL COLLECTION.

In looking over the mineral display in the museum of the territorial uni. versity at Tucson what appears most deeply to impress the visitor from nor. thern Arizona is the almost entire ab. sence from the collection on exhibi- ton of any ores or mineral speci. mems from the mines of Yavapai county, although the number of pat. ented mines in the county number al. most two.ffths of those of the entire territory.
 Crystallized azuritc specimens from thc Copper Queen at Bisbec, chunks of copper ores from Cananea, samples from the great mines at Globe, Gila and Pinal counties can be seen in the show cases in all their wealth and peculiarity of character, but nothing greets the eye of the Yavapai visitor to indicate that such a mine as the United Verde ever existed, that the Crown King, Tiger, Ora Bella, Great Peek, and Lin coin were ever located or that the as. scssment or location work had ever been done on the Congress, Octave. Me. Cabe, Gladstone, Dc Soto, Little Jessie, Lelan, Yaegcr Senator. storm Cloud, Mount Union Crook Davis, Boggs, Blackberry, Iron King, Western Queen, Iron Queen, Triangle. Arizona Gold Lode, and hundreds of others that might be named.
 The mines department of the univer- sity is we'll equipped for all purposes of practical education in the way of assaying. making analyses, and tests of n technical nature. It is annually visit. cd by a large number of people. who view with much interest its mineral ex. hibits, many of whom arc interested in the mining industry of the territory.
 In view of this it appears that some steps should he taken towards placing there some of the mineral products of this county, which are as varied and in tcrcsting, as any in the territory. to the end that the attention of the visitor there may he called to the importance and extent of our principal industry.

(Fyom Wsdnssday Q Daily.)

John Daly arc R. II. Row will leave today for the Treasure Vault group of mines in the Mineral Point district, to resume work there.
 The shaft on the Treasure Vault claim will he retimbered where repairs are necessary near the surface and put in shape for active operations.
 The Treasure Vault is situated about seven miles east of Jerome Junction in the foothills of the Black Hills range, and about eight miles west of Jerome. Some of the richest gold ors ever seen here was taken from the mine in the sinking of the shaft some years ago. and Daily and Rowe, who are now the owners of the property, intend to ex. tend the drifts and crosscuts with . view of developing the large ore body in a more pretentious way than evev before attempted.

GREAT ORE BODY IS DISCOVERED
 AT CANANEA.

What is pronounced by mining ex. perts to bc the most valuable strike in the history of Cananca is now be. ing worked in by the Greene Consoli. dated. The importance of the discov. cry is augmented by the fact that 1t is 500 feet below the surface, and un. der the center of the highest peak south of the Capote. The workings in which the strike occurred is drift H2lJ. It is the extreme southward work on the oversight body, and has bcV for inc last forty feet in ore averaging IS per cent copper. This drift is now in from the portal 6isO feet. and has about s0O feet to go to make connection with tunnel :. which will afford venti. Iation and enable this body of ore to he worked.
 At the Henrietta mine of the Greene splendid headway is being made with development. The property Is now beyond doubt destined to become n great addition to the list of Greene pro. duccrs. By the last of the month it will he among the large shippers of the camp.
 The crosscut on the lower level Is now in I6O feet. and has been connect. ed with the shaft. All of its length it has copper which makes an average of per cent. The great size and value of the ore body is thus apparent. Air eompressors are being installed, and development is to go in the vigorous manner charactcrizing all the work of the company. Preparations for stoping are now under way. Buildings for the accommodation of men employed iu the mine are to he erected, and n store will probably be established there.

INSANE MExICANs ARE ORDERED
 DEPoRTED.
From Thursday's Daily.


 For years Arizona has borne the m. pleasant reputation of having the highest percentage in the insanity re. cord of all the subdivisions of the union. It was notable also that al. though the Mexican population is only a sixth of the census total, more than one.half of the inmates of the territorial asylum for the insane have been Mexicans. It has been charged openly that insane and incompetent Mexicans have been smuggled across the border simply for the purpose of securing to them comfort and support in the insane asylum. Yet this mat ter has had intelligent investigation only within the last couple of months. Superintendent Ferguson of the asy. lum has made study of the border conditions. assisted by the United States immigration service.

Recently six Mexican citi- zens were sent from the asylum to Nogales for deportation into Mexico. They will he followed by others as fast as the Mexican government is ready to receive them, and it is ex. pected that at least one.third of the 200 inmates in the asylum will thus cease tO be charge upon the territory. The Mexican government, after repre-. sentations made through diplomatic channels, has SigniRed its entire will. ingness to receive Arizona's unwel come guests, end is acting through its consul al Nogales, Ariz.

 It is understood that the work will be continues into the poorhouses and county hospitals of the territory, whicl are now loaded mp with indigent Mexi cans who are still citizens of the land of their birth. Petty criminals in tho various jails are likely 10 be includ ed under construction of the inmi grafton laws respecting the admission of undesirable aliens. A deportation of the criminal Mexican element would not be unwelcome to the Mexi can government, for many of those now in jail in Arizona arc wanted in Mex leo for serious crimes.

PLAN DEEP WORK AT THE GREAT
 REPUBLIC,
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 That the camp of the Great Republic Copper and Gold Mining company will, within very short time, be the scene of active operations on a more exten' sivc scale than at any time in its past history. is an assured fact, according to the statement of ]. NJ. Sullivan. prcsi. dent and general manager of the com. pany, who returned here the evening before last from an extended business visit in the east.
 "The company's finances are now in better shape than ever." he said. "we have now associated with us men of unlimited wealth who are thoroughly cognizant of the fact that it takes time and capital to properly develop a 1 copper mine, and they have subscribed the necessary finances "a. continue the work in a minerlike and scientific way.
 "As soon as the new lj horse power hoist is installed at the Sullivan shaft the work of sinking it from the 200 to the 300 level will he st once com. menced, and it is our purpose to start laterals and crosscuts at this point and continue to develop the vein there while the shaft will bc pushed tc greater depth.
 "The 700 foot shaft on the Columbia mine will be sunk to the 1000 foot level before any drifting and cross cutting is done from it. We expect tc reach water level at any time, when il IS believed a large ore body will b' encountered, as the ore in the veir keeps getting richer and more solid as depth is reached, a peculiar feature being that wherever water is encount cred the high grade ores have bcer found."
 The company's holdings comprise F claims, which include a smelter sit, and water right. and cover a networl of porphyry and schist dykes, witl a gossan capping for the entire widtl of the mineralized zone. and abou three miles in length. This zone is th center of \ district surrounded b, such well known mines of merit as in Pickaway, the Theising properties, th Parker group, the Silver Chord. Hidde Treasure and a number of others.
 The camp is situate about two mile from the Turkey station on the Brad shaw mountain railroad, with which ' is connected by a good mountai wagon road.
 \ water supply ample for all redu, ton and domestic purposes exists O the ground. the altitude of the plac being such that operations can be cal ricd on at all seasons of the year wiil out my interference from heavy snow falls in the winter time, which are q ' occasional occurrence in the higher po , lions of the Bradshaw range.

SECOND STRIKE IN THE GOLD
 KING.
lFrom wedpesdsy's Daily.)


 Another strike of more than or'lin- aty importance, and the second made within ten weeks, was reported last evening from the Gold King group of mines. in the Bradshaw mountains, when Joe Meyers, superintendent Of the property, arrived iD this city bringing with him several samples of the new find
 The discovery was made on Thurs day last in the face of a tunnel being run on the vein about l2O feet from the mouth. and about 100 feet in depth from the apex of inc ledge. Since then the tunnel has been continued distance of 10 feet. where the new pays,reak shows four feet m width, sampling from % to 2j per cent in copper. so7 in gold. and si0 in silver to the ton.
 In addition to this tunnel the vein is exposed bv several shallow shafts, and a crosscut tunnel is being run into the mountain. which is now in a dis tance of 57j feet from i,s croppings on the surface of the mountain. Thir. teen men are now at work, and the force will be increased to sixty as soon as accommodations are provided.
 The principal stockholders of the Gold King Mining company are Ohio capitalists, who purchased the proper. ties about ten weeks ago from attorney K. NJ. Ling. of this city. and !. C. Martin, former editor of the Journal Miner. and now resident of Los An. gcles Two days after the transfer was made a strike of very rich ore was made in the tunnel. which aroused the new owness tO the necessity of a more extensive plsn I development which has recently been perfeptci. and which includes the installation of an aiy compressor at the erosscut ,uunel, which is now under way, the building of a tramway to switchback No. on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, a short distance from the camp, and the erection of large reduction plant for the concentration of the product. As preliminary to these improvements n large boarding house and two bunk houses for the accommodation of n large force of men will he built as well ps other camp buildings usually found in first class mining camps.
 The management has already made arrangements for the shipment of ten carloads of ore to the plant of the Ari- znna Smelling company at Humboldt about the first of next month.
 The group, which consists of n claims. covers in addition to the net work of veins 'raversing the ground water rights, with sufficient water foi all reduction and domestic purposes three creeks forming junction on the property, in which there is n never fail ing supply of water.
 The point where the new strike wa, made Is within a few feet of wher, the Crown King and Prescott stage road erosses the vein being developed and . short distance north of th' Lincoln mine, which is now in the divi dend paying class. and which ha yielded handsome returns to its own CTS since the first of the present year.
 The group is situated in one of thu best timbered districts of the Brad shaw mountains, and ideally situated for economic mining operations, th topography of the ground being sucl as to admit of the development of th network of veins by a series of tun nels which attain at least one foot il depth for every foot of ground opened

COPPER CONTINUES EXCEED.
 IN0LY QUIET.

Copper continues exceedingly quiet. So far as can be learned, no lake is offered at less than lsh, cents and no electrolytic at less than lS,a cents per pound. Consumers are refraining from making new purchases. and the con stantly declining quotations for stand ard copper in London seems to be en. couraging the belief that prices will be somewhat lower between now and the end of the year, says George L.. Walker in the Boston Commercial.
 It is learned that at least one of the big trunk line railroads is now care fully considering the advisability of adopting electricity as a motive power on between too and zoo miles of double track. The managcmcnts of several important roads are also actively in vestigating relative costs with the same object in view. There is every prospect that the substitution of cleo. triciiy for steam power, borh in America and Europe, will consume a tremendous amount of copper annually for many years to come.
 All of the copper that will he ready for delivery up to about the middle of September has been sold at IS to 10 cents per pound. Producers lave little or no spot copper to offer, and the prospect, therefore, is that current prices will be maintained until the lat ter part of next month at least. There are several large consuming interest, who must buy copper between now and December. Included in this nWmbeI are important European copper con sumers. It is believed in trade circle, that these consumers will be obliged {, pay current prices for their supplies. h view of the extreme strength of th' iron and steel market. there is no pro bability that there will be an early de cline in copper prices.
 The persistent decline of stocl market prices in general has bee, shared by the coppers this week, an, quotations, as a rule, are now yer much below the highest reached in th past six or eight months. Though VI have had an 1872 cent copper marke for more than eight months, the re sultant prosperity has not been at an time fairly reflected in the prices O the stocks of the leading prodncin companies. While there was big ar lift from the low values recorde three or four years ago, there was littl or no wild speculation at any time, st vanees as n rule being far more tha justified by increased earning capacit and dividend payments.
