 involve some subtle factors, such as
 characteristics of the miners and mill
 men, which can be understood only by thorough acquaintance with them; or features of climate which may not be properly appreciated in a brief experience; or misconception of the character of the ores. the nature of the deposits, and the market in too brief a study. Willful disregard of the local conditions. on the other hand, implies no study of them at all. Examples of such mistakes are to be found in almost every mining district. Plants are erected on the designs ani specifications of engineers who have never been in the district, or have gone there only to examine the topog- raphy of the ground. Plants are erect ed to try some new scheme, as, for examples of such mistakes are to bC found in almost every mining district Plants are erected on the designs and specifications of engineers who have never been in the district, or have gone there only to examine the topography of the ground. Plants are erected tC try some new scheme, as, for exam pie. concentrating mill with fine crushing and tables in district where the experience of thirty years had demonstrated the efficiency of coarse crushing and jigging; of the erection of Joplin mills in districts where expe- rience had shown the necessity for closer treatment Of the ore. All of these experiments were. of course, failures.
 Every district in which mining and milling is practiced for a considerable period of time develops a local expert ence in the extraction and treatment of its ores, which is strictly in COZ formity with the conditions, because the conditions themselves. to a large extent, establish the experience. Im- provements gre made as experience is gained, usually as the result of experl- ments tried cautiously and tentatively, always with a path for retreat. The local practice may be defective and capable of immediate improvement; but the engineer who undertakes it must be sure of his ground. He should not disregard the local prac- tice because of its apparent inefficien- cy, but should examine and study the causes which have determined it. These will often be found to be pres enr goodreasons for what has been de. veloped. It is lack of appreciation on the part of the engineer in this re spect that has. caused. the weary in- yestor many a time to turn finally to some local miner as the good, practi- cal man" that he hopes will be his Noses.

SUCCESSFUL MINING
Operation Depends on Knowledge of
 Local Conditions.

Successful mine operation must De grounded on a thorough knowledge oi local conditions. Many costly experi ments might have been avoided by attention to the experiences of others who had tackled the same problem.
 Engineers, as well as investors, will do well to learn all that the history of the district where they are operating has to teach them. Such knowledge is the only sure foundation for prog. reSs and success. The Engineering and Mining Journal says
 Many large losses that have been experienced in mining and metallur- gical enterprises are directly traceable local experience, l. S., the practice that has been evolved in the particular district as the result of gradual, and usually timid and tentative experimen. tation. The practice map appear de. fectiye and backward to the new. conner, experienced in other districts, and he is prone to jump at the con. clusion that it can be improved. This is frequently the case; but also it is frequently the case that the apparent ly defective, and backward practice has reason for its status, and the attempt 10 improve it fails because or unknown or misunderstood condi- tons not taken into account.
 Thus, in the Joplin district. Mis- souri, the mining and milling methods SIX years ago were apparently very crude Their crudity impressed it. self strongly on engineers visiting the district in behalf of outside capitalists who became interested there at about that time Improvements based on experience in other mining distr1cts were promptly determined upon, and were carried out, with unsuccessful results, because of failure to recognize the peculiar conditions and the fact that the local practice had been re. veloped in conformity with them. Since that time many improvements biy insrrnmDta in effecting them. have been cnnsummated in the dis trict, and engineers with experience gained elsewhere have ben considra- Their usefulness has been, however, in applying outside experience to that gained ty practically working in the district itself. affording a thorough knowledge of it's peculiar conditions.
 Errors of this kind are ascrIbable O two causes: 1. Imperfect study of the local conditions; and, 2, will. tul disregard of them. The local con

MINING SUIT.
Debts Of Many Thousand Hang Over Mine That Is Alleged Not to
 Be Very Valuable.

Phoenix. Feb. 23.-An appeal from Pinal county district court in the case Of the Union Iron Works and others against the vekol Mining & Milling O., and others, was filed today in the supreme court. The case Is rather a complicated one and appears to be a squabble among a lot of debtors of a mining company that had a practical ly worthless claim
 The defendants brought suit late In 1900 for the appointment of a receiver over the property. The complaint al legged that the several plaintiffs and several others were owed sums of money by the mining company. Plaiu- tiffs claimed total of about $16,000 and set forth that while the property had been sold in foreclosure to one Daniel Kloss the sale was Illegal be- cause 1t was made on a claim that did not ante date the claim of plaintiffs.
 The complaint also alleged that Kloss had neglected to perform as- sessment work for the year which was then fast fleeting and 1t was alleged that he was neGiect'ne the work 90 that the property could bs lost through said failure and could then bs jumped by him.

THE COLE COPPER
 PROPERTIES
Formal Transfer Of Heinze Interest to
 Bonanza Circle Kinq

The tranfer of the Heinze interes' in Butte Montana to Thos. F. Cole the Bonanza Circle leading spirit was made during the week.
 Deeds for all properties of the Mon. tana Ore Purchasing Company, Bel mont Mining Company, Ripper Con, solidated Mining Company, Cora RocE island Company, Minnie Healy Min. ing Company, Guardian Mining Com pany and Hyrocka Mining Company have been filed for record.
 In Butte there is uncertainty and g lack of information as to the purpose of the new owners, though the genera belief is that when the new compan, is completed it will be found to in clude North Butte and other proper ties in the Butte district. Heinze fol lowers profess to know that he will be as active in the Butte field as ever though he will do his mining in future in the ground instead of in the courts.
 He retains not only all of the Lex ington properties on which he had a lease and bond but also the Nora mining claim in the southern part of the city and all his interests in the mining property and real property of the Davis estate, which he acquired some years ago. His ownership in the latter includes the Coram Cornpa, ny, now known as the American Con, solidated Mining Company. Much of the Coram property adjoins the mines of the Amalgamated and North Butte and lies in the, direction of the Tip of the Anaconda, Parrot, Washoe and North Butte veins.
 The transferred Heinze mines are TOW being worked by Arthur c. Car son for Mr. Cole. but there have been no changes of any other character and men who are oheying orders from New York know nothing about the future plans. To many people ir Butte and Montana politics is of great CT interest than is the question oi what the effect will be on the indus trial and copper situation.
 The settlement of the litigation af, fleets the Anaconda and Parrot compa Enies more directly than any other Amalgamatea company. It confirms ARaconda'B absolute ownership in the bonanza vein which has been opened on the 220t foot level of the mine and which will shortly be cut also on the 21O0 foot level and gives to the Par rot the same vein after it enters Par rot ground from the Anaconda. The vein will probably be cut in three weeks Its extent and richness is being demonstrated by drift being run to the east and west on the 220( foot level. The drift has gone far enough in both directions to satisfy the Anaoonda officials that the full width of 40 to 50 feet continues to great lengths.

IGGSHAFT'WILL
 BE NEXT Important Strikes Of Ore During Week Means
 Much 10 BiSbee

The adyisability of having sufficient capital to develop a mine was never better exemplified than in. the case of the Calumet & Pittsburg company, which has put its shaft down to the
 ioo in the face of obstacles that would
 have disheartened a weaker company.
 The pumping proposition presented at
 the Calumet X Pittsburg has been no
 small item of expense during the past two years. The fuel bill alone would scare the ordinary development com. pany. But the Calumet & Pittsbu. .s company knew they were up against long and tedious proposition and pre- pared for it, pinning their faith to the tig success in the end.
 This week is the brightest in the history of Calumet & Pittsburg. It is no longer an uncertainty, and with the drift to be run from the 1000. in the direction of the winZe, where the ore was encountered about TWO weeks ago. Briggs shaft will be in a position to produce something besides water. The entire breadth of the crosscut from the wnze IS in ore, running northeast, and there is no indication of running cut yet. The ore al this depth is lSan, carrying about six per cent.
 but when the same point has been
 reached from the 1000. better assays may be expected. Though the Briggs has always been considered a sure winner in time. it has been very slow. General Manager Powell was sent to bisbee 70 do things with Calumet & P1ftsburg and Junction, and be has peeled off his coat and waded in.
 Over at the Haatson they are mak- Ing nve feet every twenty-four hours in ledge matter and iron, carrying about two per cent, and everybody in the district is willing to bet you that Haatson won't go twenty feet further in this formation hefore it will be send ing on top good paying ore. There is no mistaking the formation. It is the same found at the Lowell, of the Copper Queen. e%erlying the ore bod ies.
 It would be well to take on a few shares Of Calurnef & Pfttsburg. There IS going to be good advance in this stock during the spring, and it would rot surprise us to see it selling for twice it's present market value before July We have heard about the high prices in Bonanza Circle stocks always coming in the winter months, but we believe the high prices for Bonanzas this year will come with the gentle. spring breezes. .. ..
 All of this means greater things for Risbee- It is canning sure. Bisbee will lead all other Arizona cities during 1906 When we commence to emu merate the guaranteed producers al ready known we count the Copper Queen, Calumet & Arizona, Lake Su- perior & Pittsburg. Pittsburg & Du- luth. ShattHck 6 Arizona, and who will argue that the Review is not justi- fled now in numbering Calumet & Pittsburg and Junction in this list also.

JUNCT|ONMAKING GOOD SHOWING
Drift on the goo for $50 feet Has Ore
 All the Way

Junction and Calumet & Pittsburg continue to be the center of interest in the Bonanza Circle. In the No. 1 crosscut of the North drift on the 900, the Junction has been working in rich carbonate ore for the past three weeks. The ore is on exhibition at several of the local brokerage offices, picked up on the dump and brought to town by enthusiastic followers cf Junction who are making it favorite.
 The Review has the information from reliable source that the north drift of the Junction, which is in now for a distance of $50 feet, has been run along an ore body fer more than half of this distance but there has been no disposition to break into it, evidently being satisfied to block out in this manner. The crosscut has en- tered the ore body now for a distance of twenty feet and the lowest assay is g per cent
 On the 1000 loot level another drift has been started which will give the Junction management fairly good idea of the extent of the ore body uncovered un the 300. Junction's permanent hoisting engine is on the ground and will soon be ready for business when development work will be crowded ahead.
 There Is an apparent intention of the BonanZa Circle management to let Cal umet & Pittsburg take the lead This is the oldest company of the two, and is known to be personal favorite of Tom Cole. It would not be good eti- oueJte for Junction to crowd itself in ahead Of Calumet & Pittsburg when it was late conner, and besides, Calu- met & Piftsburg stockholders have been promised something in their Christmas stocking during 1906. But when the showing is 80 good at the Junrtion 1t is evident that there is to be a race for inst place.
 Junction stock is selling for ten dollars csore at this time than at cor responding date of last year, which IS a small advance when we consider the speculative value of this stock then and now.
 At the beginning of 1905 the Juno ton owed the original owners under the options s597, 7,466.5S. Of this ameunt $57,8S3.5S was paid in January of this year. Next January the final payment on the Junction becomes due. amounting to s44e, ,5s3.00, and unless all present indications fail, with .he development work planned for. the present year, Junction will have taken its place as one of the best mines in the district
 With ore In the Junction, and large bodies of it aireafy uncovered on the 800. with ore discovered in the Denn drill holes, further east; with ore in the Briggs shaft and a similar condi- ton promised for Hoatson next week, it's about time the Warren company started something doing down in the direction of the old Calumet & Cochise shaft, which has recently come into their possession

(Jerome News.)

Developments al the Cleopafra eur- ing the past few days has improved the rroperty very much. Cod show ing in the south drift from t1, Dillon tunnel was encountered this week. Ore has been cut in larger or smaller blocks for the whole distance.
 About fifty feet from the face of the cross-cut a drift was started south along one of the widest ore bodies, and this is now in about sixty Or more feet, and the showing in tbe face of thls drift, when examined on Thus day morning, was undoubtedly the best that has yet been made in the Geo patra mine, and has more the aiI earance of permanent body than sny yet exposed on the property. The vh~le face is in high grade oie, and the cores made by the power drill used in tbe work here showed that they were working in solid su1phide ore. The showing is 8 most extraor- djnariiy big one so far as it has been developed.
 Many inquiries are coming to the News. and also to citizens of Jerome, as to what is being done at the Verde King. the property of Chas- J. George f Los Angeles.
 It is almost two years since any thing in the way of development work has been done on the Verde King, and. so far as any preparations for the commencement of work thereon, there are none whatever going on at the present time in Jerome. In 1904 there vas . hoist placed on the shaft on the property, but very little. if any. work has been done with this machinery. While the Verde King touches the Cleopatra group in one place, the workings on that property are some distance from where the Cleopatra company has opened up It's ore body.

 doing work on ii have been asked for those put in have been considered to< high by the company, but experienced miners say that the rock in the shafi at the present time is very hard. and that the bids were considered reason able by those rho understood the con ditions- With all this there is a gooc chance to strike pay ore in the Verde King with proper development, but il will take money and time to make il

 W. W. Thomas, of the Black Hills company, arrived in Jerome wednes- day, and went out to the property the same night. He win only remain for few days this trip. Good progress is being made sinking the deep shaft, and the conditions found are as ex- pected by all concerned. The water conditions, while yet diffcnlt to meet, are improving. The water, as stated in the News before, is mostly surface, and for this reason the company hesi- tates to put in more powerful pumps, expecting that just as soon as the snows are melted the water situation win be relieved. which undoubtedly will be the case. Ths News has had some inside information on this prop erty. from a most reliable source which is of kind to give us conn., dence in the belief that the Black Hills will make 6 great mine.
