The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-04-18
NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

The Globe-Arizona company has
completed retimbering the shaft and
will soon be ready to begin active
mining. There is about $4,000 worth
of ore in sight and it will be extract
ed and shipped to the Old Dominion
smelter as rapidly as possible.-Belt.
The Central Copper company has
been extremely fortunate the past
week. In addition to having ore in
both cross-cuts, the company now has
good grade of ore in the bottom of
the shaft. There is not great deal
of 1t, but it runs high in copper and
is source of much encouragement
to the management of the company.

The seven Mexicans who were de
ported to their native country by
local immigration officers after their
completely in the incipient revolution
here and at other points along the

lguilty at Hermosillo, and have been

five to eight years. These Mexicans

briel Rubio, Genaro Villareal, Lazaro

The second payment has been made
on the 3-R group of mines in the Pat
agonia district. This property was
owned by Ben Heney and r. R. Rich
ardson of Patagonia and was pur-
chased by Colonel w. g. Greene. 1t
was impossible to learn the exact
amount of the payment but it can. be
stated that the sum runs into five
figures. The property was purchased
originally from Messrs. Heney and
Richardson by Douglas Gray and
Henry Gray who in turn disposed of it
to Colonel Greene. Colonel Greene
has beer developing the property for
several months and several good
strikes have been made. A good body
of ore was struck a short time ago
and the properties give fine indica-
tions of developing into big propo-
sition. The entrance of Col. Greene
into the Patagonia district caused a
general revival there and acted as a
great stimulus to the companies al
ready operating in that district

According to statement of Coun
ty Assessor Howe the owners of real
estate on Brewery avenue and Main
street will find that their property
has been increased in valuation from
the basis of 5000 a front foot on
which it was taxed last year, to $500
front foot, the change being based
on several recent transfers of prop
erty On Main street. Brewery avenue
property, while raised considerably,
will not have to pay nearly so great a
sum. For the first time in the his
tory of the city the Copper Queen
store will be assessed separately from
the mining property. This will be in
accordance with the recent mining
tax law passed by the Legislature
which provides for the assessment of
property of mining companies sepa-
rately from the mines, where it is
used for any other purpose than min
ing. The store will be assessed at a
valuation of $500 front foot. In a
few isolated cases the valuation of
residence property will be increased.
Review.
Gila Valley, Globe & Northern en-
gineers have completed the survey Of
the extension to Pinto Creek as far
as Webster Gulch, beyond Miami fiat,
within few miles of the terminus of
the road. c. D. Reppy, right-of-way
agent for the road, is now engaged in
securing the right of way through
the fiat and is authority for the state
ment that the road will be built as
rapidly d possible to the gulch lead
ing up to the Live Oak mine. Grad
ing is progressing under the direction
of p. Wilson, who has the contract,
and mile of the grade has been
completed. More men will be put on
this week and the work rushed. The
new extension will be great thing
for the mines in that vicinity. Those
which will be most benefited will be
the Warrior company, the Eureka,
Inspiration, Live Oak and Keystone,
and the mines beyond the proposed
terminus will also be greatly benefit
ted in having much shorter haul for
their ores.
The most horrible accident which
has occurred in the city for months,
was met with by William J. Cashin,
Jr., a young man 81 years of age who
entered the employment of the Cop
per Queen store and had his head
caught between the edge ofthe freight
elevator and wall of the shaft at the
store on the third floor, being liter
ally choked to death. All that any,
one knew of the accident was when a
terrible cry was heard in the elevator
shaft. On assistance arriving the
body was found to be dangling with
broken neck, the head being caught
in the elevator, while the purple face
told the story of strangulation.
Young Cashin was a brother-in-law of
