PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 3.-Genera
Manager Oman of the Humboldt
smelter gave out the following state
ment last Tuesday concerning the plan'
for publications:
"I am in receipt of advices from New
York to the effect that the copper mar
ket situation is improving steadily anc
has become more hopeful in the past
few days. My instructions are to keeI
my organization intact, If possible.
"All of the office force, superintend-
ents of departments and foremen are
still at work. I expect that matters
will be arranged in very short time
and that work will soon be resumed al
the plant"
The Pittsburg and Arizona company
whose properties are in the Santa Rita
range, are at present operating ac-
lively the Burro mine, and as far as
known there is no intention of letting
up on the development work. The ore
was stopped down from an old tunnel
when the company entered into pos
session of the mine last spring, and the
force of twenty men now employed In
running a tunnel 100 feet lower to give
! fresh stopping ground on the same vein
| At the present time the tunnel VIII De
cut in $50 feet.
| Mr. Cox, the general manager, says
he has instructions to at once prepare
| plans for a concentrating mill on the
proposition, and that in preparation fol
| that end he will soon go to Joplin tt
investigate the various systems Of
handling leady ores in that section, and
that after attending the mining con-
gress there on November II he will
proceed to Denver to consult with
builders of concentrating plants as to
the best kind of plant to erect to
handle an ore that carries not only sill
yer and lead, but about per cent cop
per. 1t will naturally have to be wet
concentration primarily. with an elec-
tro-magnetic process later to extract
the copper values. They assure him
at the Hunt Smelling works at Dem
ing that this can be done, and that is
what will be done.
Secures an Option
The Pittsburg and Arizona company
has recently secured an option on the
Victor property near the Burro, and
when other plans materialize expect
to open it up. When that time arrives
the company expects to spend $4,000
on a new eight mile road to Patagonia
At present everything goes in and out
of the camp on bur-os.
The Arichise Mining, company, op-
Grating a group of claims north of
Stafford, is about to commence an ex-
tensive line of development work
The properties are under the manage
ment of ]. E. Carpenter.
Hon. A. ]. Doran has assembled a
group of gold properties near Prescott
for the purpose of raising funds to
work and develop them. The proper
ties include the Independence mine, the
Smith group and the Railroad mine
The Independence has Lane mill
upon it. All of the properties have
made a good output of surface ores.
Final payment of $4,000 was made
last week on the property of the Chan
cellor Gold Mining company by
H. w. Flentl1e, who assumed control oi
the property under bond, until April Is
for the Spec Mining company.
The property consists of $50 acrer
of land in the Lower Lynx creek sec
ton, near Tucson. The land is hel6
under United States patent and covers

rights Tt is generally known as the

matter was cut. The shaft is now TO-
