of a definite statement being made re-
garding the intentions of those consti-
tuting the company, butsit is known that
those in Prescott in closest touch with
the conditions of the company take a
very roseate view of the future.
The Cinebar mine has the unique dis
tinction of being the only quicksilver
mine in Arizona. The Cinebar has a
large force of men employed and is en-
gagged now in installing thirty-ton fur
mace on their property, twelve miles
southwest of Quartzite. for extracting the
quicksilver. The novelty of the metal in
that region and the methods of securing
IT are arousing wide interest among the
prospectors who know of nothing but
placer gold.
The only other mine that is doing
much on the Colorado is the New York
and Plimosa Mining company. The mine
handles coarse gold which lies in a
hard quartz forma ton, and is hard to
liberate for that reason The company Is
laying a pipe line from Quartzite to the
hills in which the mines lie, a distance of
seven miles, for the purpose of furnishing
a reliable water supply.

GOLDFIELD, New, Dec. S.-The situa-
tion here is followed by question mark
as the outside world now knows. Practi-
cally all the mines are closed on account
of the refusal of the miners to accept
scrip. The mine owners are standing
firm on the ground they have taken in
the matter They have notified the miners
that the contract as to wages has been
abrogated by the union itself on account
of a non-referendum vote.
The union men take the position that
they have not violated the contract,
which stipulates that no strike or lock-
out shall be declared without two
thirds referendum vote. At recent
meeting 1t Is said that this referendum
vote was taken and the motion to walk
out was carried with but one dissenting
vote.
Moreover, the miners declare that the
operators themselves violated the agree
ment first by agreeing to pay the men
only in scrip, whereas the agreement was

VAST FIELD OPEN TO LOCAL

Verbatim Copy of Letter from Dealer
In Sendai, Japan, Indicates
the Possibilities in

That there is a vast field Of commercial
endeavor open to Los Angeles manufac-
turers and supply houses is attested in
a letter received by F. w. Braun last
week and which is here reproduced YER
batim. This letter is dated Sendai, Japan,
and is only one of several received by
the same concern in the same mail from
different parts of the world.
One order was from the British gov
ernment containing a requisition for a
large bill of patented laboratory appli-
ances for use in the laboratories con-
Quoted by his Brittanic majestys govern
met in Singapore, British Straits Settle
ments. Another order was for assayer' s
appliances for shipment to Antofagasta,
Chile. All of the appliances ordered are
manufactured in Los Angeles.
In the letter from T. Watanahe it will
be noted that it was but recently that
the Japanese government was aware that
supplies of the nature described could be
purchased in a market so accessible to
their country and where shipments may
be received in from thirty to sixty days
less time than if ordered in the European
markets.
With the remarkable development of the
Asatic countries in all lines of CONNER
cial endeavor and the great prosperity
being enjoyed in those countries it seems
that now is a most propitious time for
our manufacturers to extend their opera
tions in these fields.
The following is a copy of the letter
from I. Watanahe:
sENDAI. Oct Z, 1907.
Dear Sir: Thank you very much for
your kind letter dated August IA, 1907,

specll to The Herald.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. S.-The produc-
ton of both gold and silver in Arizona
cording to the statistics collected by
the United States geological survey.
The gold production amounted to s2,064,-
$685. air increase of s165 469. Somewhat less
than one-half OF. this production came
from Yavapai county, which includes the
Prescott mining region.
Silver was produced to the amount of
9.O26, 49S fine ounces in Arizona, an in
crease of 42O,726 ounces. Cochise county
leads, closely followed by Yavapai, both
approximately 100000 ounces.
1t is reported on good authority that
the management of the Interior mine at
Wickenburg is highly elated over the
showing in that property on the 3O0-foot
level, where drifting is now in progress
and where the ore body is larger and
richer than that found on the lower lew
els. Thousands of tons of ore are said
to be blocked out in the 200-foot level,
enough to keep the mill running for two
or three years.
The Hite property, formerly known as
the King Solomon group. in the same dis
trict, is to be equipped with a mill early
next year.
Work is progressing satisfactorily on
the installation of the new mill at the
Lone Tree group of mines. located about
miles northwest of Prescott in
the Granite mountain district.
Although the recent financial situation
has affected the Jessie Mines company at
Prescott to the extent of causing the
to abandon its intention of
erecting a 1O0-ton mill, it has not pre-
vented the companys plans of erecting
a mill being carried out, and President
John S. Jones of this company announced
that 5O-ton mill would be installed at
once.
SmeIter to Be Reopened
Plans looking to the reorganization of
the Arizona Smelling company whereby
the indebtedness of the company may be
paid of and operations at the Humboldt
plant resumed, are now being worked
out, and it is possible that the Smelter

miners want paper backed by the COM
paries operating properties that have
shipped ore and are known to be of
worth.
Though there have been several acts of
violence in the district nothing of the
kind in general way has appeared up
to the present moment, but the arrival
of the federal troops may precipitate
trouble very suddenly. The men did not
believe that such action would be taken
and were therefore somewhat caught un-
prepared as to policy There Is no deny
ling that there is much suppressed ex-
citement and it may require only the in
famed utterances of an adroit leader to
sweep things to climax. Such a con-
tingency, of course. can be Viewed only
as a calamity in more senses than one.
The smelter trust has become alarmed
over the agitation against the way in
which they have been treating the oper-
a tors. When the chamber of commerce
threatened to carry the war to Washing
ton. and, indeed, had already brought the
matter to the attention of the federal
authorities the trust bestirred itself An
agent was dispatched to the national
capital and another was sent to Gold
field. The first gentleman learned that
the trust was thought to have gone too
far in the protection of its own interests
and thereby to have done an lnexcusable
injury to the mine owners. The emissary
to the camp learned that the operators
were in earnest and would give the trust
the go-by and care for their own product
If different treatment was not accorded
by the outside corporation.
AS the prospects look good for a salts
factory settlement of the difficulty the
chamber of commerce has called off the
announced mass meeting and will not
appeal to Washington.
The Florence Goldfeld has entered the
list of dividend payers of the camp, or,
rather, will do so with. the beginning of

that the stockholders would have a lit
