This increase taken with the increase of mine valuation under the Doran bullion tax bill will certainly put the ter ritory on easy street. so far as assessed values are concerned this year. The railroad assessment for 1907 in Arizona will be practically double what it was three years ago. It is expected that the assessed value of of mines will double the valua- tion of last year. .-Bisb .e Review.
 One of the curiosities of mining is to be seen at the San Francisco mine Cedar, where in running a drill ahead in one of the drifts on the 500 level a body of water was encountered that has been drifted by pipe to the surface. where it is flowing into a large tank and is supplying the mill with suffici mt water for all purposes. The pr ,s- sure at the lower level is POO pounds to the square inch. .--Mohave Miner.
 The output of the Arizona Copper Company. Clifton. Arizona. for the month of April is reported to have been 2.047, $40 pounds. The plant is again in good running order so that the output of May is likely to have been greater than that for April. In view of the many diff culties that have been encountered and trials from cold bursts and other causes. the properties of the company are the most successfully operated in Arizona.
