rate takes effect, which will be the early part of December. MT. Bacon is interested with one of the Camp bell brothers in gold claim in the vicinity of the silver claims, and en- couraging assays are being obtained. Three tunnels are being driven, the lower one being at a depth of 12O feet. All of them are in good ore, the lower one giving the best returns, and several crosscuts are being run to prove up the ground prospected. In each instance the grade of the ore has remained good and it now seems that they have made good strike. Average samples run high iD values, but picked specimens can be obtained that will go into the thous- ands. These grntlemen are spend- ing a good deal of money on the property and will not attempt to ship for some time. What ore is taken out is being piled on the dump. The ERA hopes to be able to report, in this property, one Of the best gold producers in the district.

MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis.
 trict and Surrounding Camps.

Harry White, formerly connected
 with the New England and Clifton company, is now doing some contract assessment work on the Weaver
 claims on the Frisco, above Clifton. Local parties acquired the Weaver
 group of claims by debt and are now doing assessment work by driving a
 proposed to do the required amount of work in one place to hold all of the claims. Some excellent grade of ore has been Crosscut, which so far
 has been of rather small width. People who are familiar with that section are ot the opinion that the
 Weaver claims will some day be a good proposition. The tunnel now being driven will develop the prop erty at depth, but is not yet far enough in to show any rich values in either gold, silver or copper.
 J. Lezinsky, of New York, spent a few days Of the past week in Clifton looking after his assessment work on claims which he owns in the Clifton Morenci district. After going over the claims and measuring the work which was done under the supervision of his old time friend, I. N. Stevens, he departed Monuay for his home in the east. MT. Lezinsky is known by all old-time residents of this section having been quite extensively inter- ested in this district since the early sos. His first visit to Clifton was in 1881, when the country was practical ly in its infancy, and he became in- | terested in d number of good mining claims, many of which he has disposed of long ago. But he has retained an extensive interest. He has been in- terested in mines in this section ever since his first visit here. He usually gets around about once a year and stated that each visit shows many improvements in the Clifton camp. MT. Lezinsky and his associates are now, and have always been, of the opinion that this is the best copper belt in the southwest.
 Not more than a month ago the first material was shipped from the Stafford depot to the mines of the Bonita Copper company, in the Lone Star district. This consisted of all necessary machinery for a steam hoist, timber TOT the shaft, tents, cooking utensils, supplies, et". A week later they began sinking shaft. 4 windless was used at first, but this was soon supplanted by whim. Before the Guardian is issued again a steam hoist will take the place of the whim. During the three weeks the shaft has been sunk eighty feet. The shaft is timbered as it is sunk. It is 5x9 feet inside the timber and is made double compartment. MT. Woodward, who is having the work done, went to the mines last week and expressed himself as being very much pleased with the progress made. The indications in the ground thus far broken fully come up to his expectations. All connected with the work are very much encouraged. About twenty-five men are being kept constantly at work and more will be put on just as fast as places can be found for them. Good tents have been put up and everything arranged for the comfort of the men. During the past week R. J. Young, who is the mining engineer on the works, has had active charge of all york; Guardian.

 was greatly surprised at the many new and substantial improvements made since his last visit here. In speaking of the valley, he stated that the farmers were in excellent
 shape having made good crops, which they disposed of at profitable prices.

Walter Chesser, an expert liquid engineer of worldwide fame, whose headquarters have until recently been at Cananea, arrived in Clifton last week and will spend some time here giving exhibitions of his ''liquid air. of which he is supplied with an unlimited quantity. Before coming to Clifton he visited all the big camps in the territory, and like many others, is of the opinion that Clifton is by far the best camp of them all. His report of Cananea reveals the fact that people of that camp have had much difficulty in raising enough money to get out of town. Walter resided in Clifton about five years ago and is we'll known here among old timers.

Senator Stephen w. Dorsey, who spent a couple of weeks here in the interest of the Copper Company of Arizona, finished up and departed for Los Angeles the latter part of last week. He succeeded in securing an extension of time on nearly all of the property formerly bonded by the Arizona Amalgamated company Now that he has succeeded in get ting the extension local parties will watch, with interest, his progress in development and other work. On account of the present financial situ- ation no extraordinary results are expected, but the senator will have plenty of time to consummate ar engagements and be ready for rapid work when conditions clear up. Among the properties bonded by the Copper Company of Arizona are some of the best prospects in this district and if sufficient capital is forthcoming to properly develop them the fature of the company is bright one. The people who have bonded their claims cannot lose any, thing, as failure on the part of the company to complete contract, prop erty will revert back to owners. The ERA is pleased to see d new company start in this district as it realizes that every scccessful mining enter prise in this district means more business for the camp. The Shannon company has been a great benefactor to the district, but it has grown so gradually that many people have failed to realize it. Other companies would be of similar benefit.
