THE CITY RUN WAY BEHIND LAST YEAR

The finance committee of the coun-
Gil today began to figure on the prob
able tax levy for this year. City Clerk
Reynolds was instructed by Chairman
Mexican this morning to furnish the
committee with a detailed statement
of the expenditures in the different de-
partments for the year just passed and
on this the committee will estimate
about what will be needed to run the
city next year and pay for the city's
share of street improvements contem-
plated by the council.
City Runs Behind.
With a levy of Is mills on a valua-
ton of about four and one-half mill
lion dollars the city run behind some
thing like $4,000 last year and mem
bers of the council believe that in or
der to make up the deficiency and pro-
vide funds for the increased expenses
of operating municipal affairs and pay
for proposed street improvements, ii
will be necessary to fix the levy at not
less than 13 mills and possibly Is mills
again on the new valuation of $780,
600.
City Clerk Reynolds is working on
his annual statement which will show
to a cent the cost of operating nau-
nicipal affairs last year. 1t is expected
to show that last years revenues from
taxes and other sources were way Shy
in meeting the ordinary expenses, ret
alone paying for the city's share OF
street improvements.
The report will be finished by next
Monday and will be read to the coun-
ell that night. In the meantime the
finance committee will try to figure
ont the amount of the tax levy.

H. H. Richardson, and others, has ac- quired title to some very valuable min ing property situated near Superior, this county Active development work will be commenced there in the near future with every prospect that a pro- ductive property will be developed.
 Jas. Schoemaker, M M. Hickey and others have bonded a group of copper claims, situated on the south side of the Gila river, opposite Kelvin, to Flu gene Carson of Los Angeles, who is a mining man of good standing. The bond is a working bond and runs for two years. Under the terms of the bond the first payment on the property falls due in 12 months from the date of the instrument and the final pay ment at the end of 24 months. In the meantime MT. Carson is to keep a force of men constantly at work, developing the property and he can ship the ore taken out by paying the owners a royalty of 15 per cent, this royalty to apply on the final payment.-Florenc Blade.

THE EXPRESS MINE.

Unquestionably one of the coming properties of Yavapaf county is the Express mine now being developed by the Washington Arizona Mining com pany. Already enough development work has been done by the manage ment to justify the conclusion that 1t is destined ere long to rank high among the many producers of the Big Bug district, in which it is located.
 This will be surprising news to many who are aware of the fact that the Douglas Lacey company, which operated the property under bond, had suspended operations there, and aban- doned the mine before making the final payment on the purchase price.
 Hardly had the new concern extend ed the tunnel a distance of 30 feet until a new shoot of black sulphide ore was uncovered that samples on the average over $50 to the ton. This paystreak has been found to extend a distance of about 30 feet along the footwall, with an average thickness of 16 inches that samples about $2O to the ton. The above statement of facts and conclu- sions are made as the result of per sonal inspection by Journal Miner rep resentatives.

we'll as the other, and regular ship ments of ore will be made in future from both.
 In addition to the work going on in this tunnel, the H. J. Beemer com pany, the owner of the Storm Cloud properties. has a large force of men en- gagged in sinking a large double com partment perpendicular working shaft on an adjoining claim, which covers the Ten Spot vein, which has been tapped by the great Senator tunnel, and in which there is a good showing.
 This shaft is now down to a depth of 140 feet and is being pushed with all possible rapidity. From the 100 foot level a crosscut was run to the vein, which was found to be as large and we'll defined as in the Senator ground, the foOtwall being followed by a two foot paystreak. A new air com pressor was recently installed at the shaft, and power drills are now being used in sinking operations.

THE OLD BUSTER.

Within a week another mining camp in the Bradshaw mountains, which was the scene of great activity many years ago and which has been idle for long time on account of legal compli- cations. will again be the scene of min- ing operations on a pretentious scale, according to the statement of Judge John A. Peacock, general manager of the Worth Mining company, which has lately acquired the Buster group of mines near Hooper to a Prescott paper.
 "The company proposes to commence development work at once" he said, 'and I intend to leave here tomorrow with a large force of men to commence active operations on the ground, ac- cording to the plan outlined by the new company. Prospecting will be carried out to locate the ore bodies through the tunnels now on the ground, and the camp will be equipped for the accom- modation of a large force of men.
