JEROME AND VICINITY.
Review of the Present Activities on
 Various Properties.

The following review of present op- erations in the vicinity of Jerome Is from the last issue of the Mining News
 The development shafts on the North Verde and Black Hills properties are getting down to where they are be- coming interesting. and the diamond drill on the Harryhousen group. which is being developed by the Jerome Mines Development company, has also reach ed depth from where the cores are looked for with interest by the local stockholders.
 The Pittsburg- Jerome will have started work Monday on it's 1OO0-foot shaft, with its new and powerful ma chinery, which it now has in place. The new plant on this property is one of the heaviest and best ever brought into Yavapai county for development pur- poses
 At the Cleopatra, Genera Mana-"r Hull continues to expose ore in the south drift, and the mine is improving with each shift. United States Deputy Mineral Surveyor SimingtOn is now at work surveying all of the workings on this property. Continued bad weather has very much delayed the work of putting the shelter now on this mine together.
 At the North Verde the shaft is down to depth of about 120 feet and a great deal of iron and some quartz being ta- ken out. The change is very favora. ble for ore. The development on this property to date has greatly increased | it's value in the estimation Of local stockholders.
 At the HarryhOusen Contractor Nit chell has the diamond drill down in the neighborhOod of 175 feet The rock has been very hard during the last 30 feet but is good from which to get cores. This rock, however. carries gold values, fire assay of it giving returns of between $4 and 8 in gold. At the Owen-AllisOn claims. south O. Jerome. which the United Verde has under bond, grading for the placing of a diamond drill thereon has been about l completed and the drill will be started | at work during the next week. it IS | expected.
 At the Hickey group, the Dow Real Estate and Mining company is contin . uing to develop by way of the Powers | shaft
 The Jerome-Verde company has
 started men at work on the ZalIanacf,
 property, located south and in close proximity to the Copper Chief on Equa-
 tor hill.
 | At the Black Hills they continue to 1 do things, and with very encouraging
 results. This company has unlimited | means and is spending it in an endeaY-
 or to prove that it has a big mine.

trict has now reached a point where machinery is required for it's further successful development and operation, and Supt. J. c. Erman informs us that a frst-class equipment has been or dered, consisting of a double drum 1OX14 steam hoist. two 100-horse power boilers, Sullivan power drills and com pIessor of $50 cubic feet capacity. and q complete outfit of power pipe cut ters. drill presses and timber framing machines.
 Manager Faull informs us that the 115 foot shaft at the Globe X Pinto mines is now all in ore at the bottom. and that the dump is growing quite perceptibly. Nearly the entire output is a good shipping product in the values of copper. gold and silver. Three men are employed now. and this force will be increas sed when there is room.
 Conditions at the Copper Hill and Black Hawk mines of the Arizona
 Commercial Copper company are high
 ly satisfactory. Shaft sinking is h
 progress at both mines and also con
 siderable development work on the sev- eral levels of the Copper Hill. Ship ments of ore have gradually increased
 and a night shift has been pat on de-
 livering ore to the old Dominion. which company is now taking over loo tons of sulphide ore daily from the Copper Hill mine. Shipments of siliciOus ores to Douglas and Cananea have also been increased and are now at the rate of 45 cars per month.
 The Inspiration Mining company put a force of miners to wO"E today taking
 out ore, and commenced shipping to the | Old Dominion smelter. There are about 500 tons of glance ore on tue dumps and the mine is capable of a consider able production. General Manager J. D. Coplen will leave tomorrow morn i for Kansas City, Mo. to confer with | other officers of the company with the view of providing for the erection at the mine of concentrating and leach great mining properties of the Globe | district
 I An item published in our mining col
 umn week before last contained the 1 statement that the Warrior Copper l company's mine would soon be counted
 among the regular producers of Globe | district This was an obvious mistake l as the Warrior has been regular pro-
 ducer for many months. and it's daily shipments have increased to about 5O tons of ore of excellent grade. Under
 the management of Supt. F.. NJ. White | the Warrior has been placed on a pay ing basis. and plans are being made for the better development of the prop erty. which undoubtedly has high mer- it.-Globe Silver Belt.

mine was destroyed by fire, few dayg ago. IL was situated on the Agua Frid river, some distance from the mine.
 A two-foot vein of gold. silver and lead was recently struck in the R. A. Nj. mine in the Little Copper Creek district
 A carload of supplies and twelve men have been sent to the lime quarry at Valley siding, which was recently pur- chased by the Arizona Smelling com pany. Buildings will be at once erect ed for the accommodation of a large number of men, and the work of open ing up and facing the immense lime deposit will at once be commenced. A. F.. Ehle of Skull valley recently mado a shipment of ore to the Hum boIdt smelter from the claim he is op- ening up in the Copper basin country, about nine miles from Skull Valley station. that gave returns of II per cent in copper.
 w. l.. Roberts exhibits a large quartz specimen fairly giittering with the yell low metal. which was taken out of claim recently discovered by him on the Skull valley slope of the Copper basin divide, about three miles distant from the Derby. mill After making the discovery ten days ago. he com menced 10 run tunnel on the vein and now has seven tons of ore on the 1 dump, with a twenty inch vein in the face that will mill over S5O to the ton 1 in free gold.
 our new shaft on the Leghorn
 mine is now down 10 q depth Of 241 | feet. with q showing In the bottom of | two and a half feet of ore. ten inches 1 of which are heavy sulphides of very good value" said R. II. Burmister | president of the Gold Lodes Mines company. to a Journal Miner man. Referring to the general conditions
 around his camp. he stated that he | believed that his company would in
 the course. of few days decide to
 erect another mill on the Leghorn mine
 and use the present plant in reducing the ores of other mines which were more convenient to it. The LeghorIi mine is two miles distant from the mill now in operation. and the management believes that this mine is opened up we'll enough to supply a ten stamp
 mill from it's own ores.
 The company's property is ao0ul
 14 miles east of Dewey station on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad. from
 which point all supplies of the camu are now hauled.
 O. B. Marshall. who is developing
 Bug district. states that his shaft is
 now down to depth of 90 feet. and l that the values of the ores now were about twice as large as found on the { surface.

GOOD THINGS IN DEMAND

Though the names of buyer and sell CT were not made public, it was learn ed yesterday that a deal had been con- summated for a section of land in the west end of the valley. the considera- tion for which was somewhere in the neighborhood of $1O.OOO. The interest in the deal lies mainly in the fact that it was case of move quick if you want it." and everybody seemed to want it. The same section was desired not long ago by another investor, and an effort was made to get it. but the deal was closed to another. Day before yesterday it was learned that the first deal had failed to stick for some req son, and the land was again on the market. At least three Phoenix real es- tate agents had clients whose money was burning holes in their pockets, so anxious were they to get hold of this section. One of them had it all ar ranged for his client to come down town yesterday morning at g o'clock and close the matter up. The client came, but was d little too late, for an other agent had already placed it with his client. Incidentally the third man was trying to get hold of it and there were several others who wanted it sometime ago. but did not know yes terday morning that there was a chance to get in. The section did not seem to be big enough for them all

RIGBY REDUCTION
 PLANT RUNNING
The Regular Operation of the Works
 Begun Yesterday.

Yavapai county Thursday made an other entry on her Prosperity diary when the plant Of the Rigby Reduc- ton works was started for regular operation. For several days past the machinery has been running in an ex- perimental sort of a way but it was planned to start Thursday for a regu lar run. R. D. Mead and L. S Neely of Mannington, West Virginia. and Edwin C. Fink of Cleveland. direct ors in the company arrived in Pres colt Wednesday and expected to go in Mayer Thursday to witness tho starting of the new plant
 If the plant operates successfully as there is reason to believe it will it will mean a great deal to that county and to the territory at large for it will add to the production of the county the output of about 25O tons of ore per day. and that means a good deal both in the way of employment of men and in converting ArizOna's natural re- sources into coin.
 Particular interest attaches to this plant by reason of the fact that it is the exploiting of a new. process for the reduction of silicious ores. It is a volatilizing process which it is said has been successfully demonstrated elsewhere though it is yet new in the smelting world. Col T. Johns Rigby. the moving spirit in the project first looked over YaVapai county about five years ago and convinced himself that the character of large part of the ore in the section contiguous to Mayer was such that it is well fitted for re- duction by this process. From that time to the present he has been busily engaged in the construction of the plant and though there have been numerous delays it is finally ready for actual and it is sincerely hoped. successful operation.

mineral conditions in the world. h. Ioluded among the most eminent au- thorities who have been here is Prof.
 Nm. Bullock Clark, state geologist of Maryland and professor of mineralogy and geology in the Johns Hopkins uni versity at Baltimore; also Prof. John
 W. PrOut, of Denver Colo, who is now a resident of Tucson. The Phoenix
 & Eastern railroad. when completed
 will also cause a great boom here, as capitalists seeking mines will then
 stop over who do not now like to come
 out here on local line from the main artery of travel. A number of Balti
 more capitalists who represent great English syndicates are now arranging
 through agents here for the purchase of properties owned by Fry, Shoe maker, Tillman, Mcintyre, Elder. Mel
 lin. Mulnattan. Williams, Hall. Mel
 other prominent owners, both here and
 in the Dagger Well mining district twelve miles south of here. where
 Williams, Seabran, Devine. Romero have recently made rich strikes. Geo Emmett and Rutlege and Jewell have also made some very rich strikes on the Gila Monster property, about six miles from Kelvin, near the Williams mines.
 Vim. Mill Williams has about twen.y men at work on his mines nine miles southwest of Kelvin, and is shipping rich ore regularly. The whole country which has been kept back considerably | by the failure and mismanagement of
 the Ray Copper Goa few years ago. 1 is now emerging from the blow then received, and with the quiet develop Iment which has been going on sreai i bodies of rich ores have been unearth- | ed as well as small ore bodies, and with the improved facilities for hand ling the ores and the inducement now offered it will not be surprising al any 1 time to have the boom burst forth injo a big mining excitement at Kelvin. 1 Phoenix will greatly profit by all l this. as this great mineral region is now in the heart of it's immense trib- 1 utary commercial territory.
 TwitcheH and Shoemaker are ship ping several cars of ore every week i Frank Shilling is here again, accom-
 panied by Prof. T. H. Award and oth-
 CT mining men. Jake Bates is also |, here. Messrs. Cutting and Kavanaugh i from Troy are here and report great IactiVity at Troy. They have bonded many additional claims near their properties. have erected a new depot
 at their railroad station at Riverside The Saddle Mountain Mining company near Winkelman station. has force of over 300 men at work. Manager Cnittenden. formerly of Washington D. C.. reports it all an immense sue cess. They axe shipping several cars l of copper matte every week and have | struck a big vein of coal also on the old reservation a few miles above them which is pronounced one of the finest coking coals yet discovered ir the west. The entire situation hero is certainly highly encouraging.

exaggerated a bit. Certainly the famous old mine is a worId-beater, and Frank Powers is one of the luckiest men in the country. as well as one of the bes; miners.
 This week Dr. A. Ii. Noon visited the Orc Blanca mining district for the purpose of looking over his splendid mining property, which is being ac- lively operated under his personal su- pervision. The doctor is a veteran mining man of many years practical experience. He mined in the Orc Blanco district twenty or more years ago. Nev- CT once has he lost faith in the dis trict, and believes today that it is one of the best in the uthwest-barrinS none.
 Dennis COughlin, the successful min ing man, has been attending district court this week. from Washington camp. A short time ago Dennis sold a splendid property to the Duquesne Mining company, receiving a handsome price for it. The gentleman is inter ested in other good Santa Cruz coun- ty mines.-Nogales Vidette.

MORSE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY
On and after April |, 1906. the Corpor- ation of the Lyman D. Morse Ad-' vertising Agency Will Be Known as the Morse international
 Agency.

This agency had its beginning over sixty years ago and constituted spe- cial form of business activity in news paper advertising which had but new lv developed through the commercial conditions existing then. IL was found ed by :. NJ. Pettengill, in 1S4S, and met with success from the start. Mir. J. H. Bates was early admitted to partnership and the name of :. M. Pet tengiIl company became prOVerbiaI dS the leading advertising agency in the United States. After many years Of the firms unlimited success, MT. Bates in 1886 bought out the entire interest of Mir Pettengill thus becoming sole owner of this large business; but the firm name continued as J. H. Bates until Jan. l, 1893, when MT. Lyman D. Morse, who had been active with MT. Bates for a number of years, became partner in the concern and caused the firm style to be changed to Bates x Morse.
 After two years of partnership with. Mir Bates MT. Morse became the sole owner of the business and the name of
 the firm changed to the Lyman b. Morse Advertising Agency.
 On March 1. 1898, H. Henry Doug las became the partner of MT Morse and so continued until the latter < death on March 6. 1901.
 On April g. 1901. the firm was incOr- porated under the laws of the state of New York, with the same name.- Lyman b. Morse Advertising Agency. and with the following officers: H. i Henry Douglas. president; Irving NJ. Dewey. vice president and treasurer: G. Howard Harmon. Secretary. The Lyman D. Morse Advertising Agency, therefore. being the oldest l establishment of it's kind in America and having. through Its large clientele and progressivness developed wide in | ternational connections, it is believed ', expedient to adapt it in name to it's | largest sphere of operation by chang ing its business style to the Morse In | ternational Agency, 3S Park Row. New ! York.
 Owing to increase of business, neces- sitating large offices, the corporation will move it's offices on May l. to the Revillon Building, 19 West S4th street. New York

A PIMA COUNTY MINE.
Bonded to D. H. Collins for Two Hun dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Leaving everything in shape for the organization of a big company to ex ploit the property, Attorney Fred Sut. ter has returned to Bisbee. says the Re view. from Tucson, where the final steps were taken that give D. H. Col lins control of a group of mining claims under bond of $250,OOO
 Collins will at once have the com pany organized, get it under way, and raise funds for the development of the group, which was visited a short time ago by s. A. ParneT. former superin- Iendent of the Calumet X Arizona, who made a favorable report.
 The property is located about twen- ty miles from Tucson in what is known as the Olive mining camp. be ing a silver and copper proposition. The values are said to run exception ally high in silver, beside carrying q large percentage of copper. according 10 assays recently made.
 Collins has been negotiating for the property for some time, and before closing up the deal. awaited only an examination by Parnall, which is said to have satisfied hinl that with proper development work the claims will be- come rich producers.
 Since 1886 the group has been in the possession of John Ellis, Mike Irish and John Baxter. old timers in Pima coun- ty, and we'll known throughout south crn Arizona. During the time they have had the property a large amount of development work has been done.

MoHAVE co. MINES.
Brief Items From a Number of Prom
 ising Properties.

Pauley Brothers and Manha this week shipped lot of ore in forru Gold Basin and will reship it at this point to one of the smelters.
 The east drift on the 3S0 level of the De Ia Fountaine mine is now in nearly 300 feet and the last twenty feet has been in a big body of lead bearing ore.
 Thomas McMahon is working on the Prince George mine, at Stockton Hill. This is one of the largest mines in the county and is showing up good ore near the surface.
 L. w. Page has let the contract to sink a shaft on his mines near Boulder Springs six miles south of Kingman. to Robert Roscoe and others. The shaft is now down nearly fifty feet and the ore body is proving up well. The ore carries values in gold and silver
 Fred Ii. Stuu is getting splendid ore from the Lucky Boy mine, which is now under lease and bond to himself and Thomas Brayil. The recent discov- cry of big ore body in the property makes it one of the most valuable in the Chloride section.
 It is reported in Kingman that Rod gers and Hutchinson have uncovered 9 fine body of ore in their property in ! the Union Pass section. The new ore hody is on a big vein on which is To- cated. the property of F. l.. Todd. re- gently sold to San Diego people. J. H. Hoffman. secretary of the 1 Chloride Gold Mining company, has been visiting that property the past week. He reports that the big work | ing shaft will soon be sunk to a depth | Of 500 feet and that there is plenty 1 of money in the treasury of the com pany to do the work without taking ! cent from the mine.
 John F. Wixford. one of the most 1 eminent chemists of the world. arriv- ed in Kingman last Wednesday morn l ing and departed the same day to l make an examination of the Wander
 bilt and Gro Plata mines in company | Of John Boyle. Jr. Mir. Wixford is ! the discoverer of the process for clari- i flying the muddy waters of the Nissls-
 sippi river. which system was adopted
 by the city of St. Louis and other
 large cities along the Missouri and
 Mississippi rivers.
 At the Tennessee and Elkhart mines work is progressing and concentrates
 are being made and shipped to the
 smelters. The boilers at both places are in bad condition. and it is quite | probable that they will have to be re- placed by new ones before active work ! IS resumed. The people in charge of i the properties know their business and
 are sure to make a success if the ma- chimes do not give out on them. The two mines are capable of outputting q ] large tonnage of ore.
 Gold Road and other sections of this county have difficulty in obtaining miners. This week the Gold Road
 mines were asking for several muekers and machine men, but without obtain ing them. Other sections report a
 scarcity of good men. The dearth oi men is caused by the exodus of miners
 to the gold fields of Nevada during the past year.
 E. J. McNulty, superintendent of the | Aztec Turquoise company, was in l kingman the latter part of least week. He reports the shipment of large Iotg of good turquoise to the company S lapidary in New York City-Ntoaavy Miner.

CHERRY CREEK SECTION.
Blackberry and Other Properties Push
 ing Ahead.

There is no question but that the blowing in of the new smelter a Hum boldt means great future for the mines in the Cherry creek section" said Captain G. Fl. McGhee of Chicago. and a director of the Blackberry Mining & Milling company. who had just return ed from visit to his mining camp in that section. to a Prescott Journal Miner man.
 Miners of that district" he said.
 have commenced to realize that all Of the good ore is not on the surface and are making preparations to sink on Their properties and develop their ore bodies below water level. It is an Ideal spot to live in. The valleys are looking green and wild cherries are in bloom. The mocking birds sing almost all night and t makes man feel like a boy to spend week there"
 Three claims comprise the holdings ol his company. and are situated about ten miles northeast of Humboldt on Ash creek, within a short distance of the survey recently made for the pro. posed Humboldt and Verde Valley rail- road. In the immediate vicinity the Esmeralda and COrnucopia properties are being developed with good results. while within radius of a few miles farther to the east, the Gold Lode and Leghorn mines, now in operation. are turning out better as depth is reached than ever anticipated by their owners.

ALLEN & SCOTT CAMP.
A Rich Gold Mine Under Development
 Near Morenci.

Through the courtesy of the owners of this wonderful little camp, a repre- sentative of the Morenci Leader wa.; enabled to make a trip through one of the most unique mines in the district Perched away up in the hills to the east Of MOrenci canyon, between two tow ering peaks, where no one not acouaiu- ted with the location of the camu would ever think of looking for it. arc located the diggings which first called the attention of the prospectors of the Morenci-Clifton district during the past twelve months to the fact that the vel low metal is to be found in paying quantities without long tedious trip to other fields.
 The writer had the experience of eo- ing down into the ground for over one hundred feet where nothing but the re- taining. walls support iha overhead ground. It was novelty that was not expected within this district but the richness of the ground examined was to him much greater surprise. The mine has been worked only for little over eight months and the progress and development speaks well for the ener- By and enterprise of the owners. 0f whom one is always on the ground di- recting operations. There are two shafts about one hundred feet from thc surface, and from which pay ore is being extracted in such quantities that the work is paying for itself. At the bottom of one of the shafts the men are in pay streak 'Of about two feet across, averaging in value from S3O to $l26 ton, and the vein is gradually widening as the depth is obtained. It Is the intention of the operators to TOraf fr,r, e-f,
 distance, and then to tunnel in to strike the other shaft thus blocking out . body of ore that will eventually make them rich men. Ore running less thaH $SO is being placed on the dump for future treatment, while that of greater value is being stored and sacked for shipment
