 Wm. Rley returned home from Ray
 Monday He had been at work on
 the high trestle work extending across Copper canyon to connect the concen
 tratsng plant of the old Kelvin Re tuction company with with the Mada
 line shaft of the Kelvin Calumet Cop
 per company. This trestle was com
 pleted .ass week and the mill will be placed in commission at once. Il will treat 9 tons of ore per 24 hours and as the other mll of the company also treats 60 tons of ore per 24 hours The company will be treating 120 tons of ore per day by the end of this week
 s. D. Gardom, accompanied by J. c. Kstton. Nevada mining man. was visitor at The Blade sauctum Mon day. They came in from Phoenix and went out to the Gardom gold property situated near the base of the south Butte 12 miles east of Florence. Mir GaTdom has a crew Of men at work on the property. A few days since a body Of copper ore was uncovered on the east end of the vein and samples of the ore assay 20 per cent copper. but no gold or silver. The latter fact is somewhat surprising in as much as -g,T1 in gold.
 The Saddle Mountain Mining com pany has the site fer their new smelter at Christmas graded and will begin installation of the plant within few weeks. The new smelter will be located at the Phoenix & Eastern railroad track. about one and one-half miles from their mines at Christmas. The new management has planned a tunnel that will be about enc mile i7 length and connect with their main working shaft The tunnel will be started on level with the new smelt- CT site and will connect with the shaft at the eight hundred foot level. The shaft is now down over three hundred feet and the work of sinking it to the 800 foot level will be started, at the same time work is started on the tuu- mel. The tunnel will be made large enough for adouble car track and all ore will be delivered from the mines to the new smelter through this tun- mel. A water way will be made :n the bottom of the tunnel for the pur- pose Of draining the mines to a depth of 500 feet. This tunnel will cross cut mineral ground all the way in and it is quite probable that numbers of large ore bodies will be cut along its course. While it will be an expen. sive piece of work the saving it will make. when completed. on operating expenses, will soon pay for it.
 A man by the name of Hansen and a partner whose name we could not obtain. have been quietly at work in the Gila river canyon. a few miles above Christmas camp. sinking a shaft in shale and sandstone in the belief that they would develop coal in commercial quantity. Their eXpec- tations Were realized last week. At depth of SD feet their shaft opened a seven foot vein of good blacksmith coal. The entire vein is not coal of that quality. but it carries sufficient uantity of such coal to make the strike very important and valuable one. The quantity of this high-grade coal increases as they go in on the vein and there is but little doubt that the entire vein will become pay coal when they get further in on it This coal find is about eight miles from the old coal fields developed by the Saddle Mountain Mining company but the vein seems to trend in that direction and probably passes through said company's ground. at a consider able depth below the vein opened by General Manager Chittenden. The vein opened by the latter is a splen- did gas coal but not good for black sSn1ithin2= or -staan- fnel .-LZha- -Saddle- Mountain company WNl Nrobably drill down to the level of Me newly dis covered vein and if they find 1t under their ground their fuel and coke prob lem will be solved. According to rumor the s. P. company is behind the discoveries of this new coal vein and will promptly extend the Phoenix & Eastern track up to the find. The natural resources of Pinal county seem to be without limit as to variety. It has now been demonstrated that she has n commercial quantity. al most every variety of useful mineral known to man and natural gas here is only question of time. Ard she is as great as an agricultural. horti- cultural and stock growing region as she is peerless as mineral area.
