KINGMAN, ARIZONA, APRIL Is, 1907

Clerk Tritle of the Supreme Court dur ing the past few days, one of which in- wolves one of the biggest mining prop critics near Globe, in which Hovel A.. Smith, acting for the Calumet & Hecla people of Michigan is interested.
 w. J. Malloy appeals from decis- ion rendered against him by District Judge Kent at Gila and in favor of the Globe-Boston Consolidated Copper Mining company. Rights worth over 1OO,OOO$ are at stake. Malloy in his original complaint alleges that he sold to the Globe-Boston under lease and bond two groups of claims near Globe, one for 62,OOOS and the other for 35,- OOO$, the agreement being large pay ment down and the rest in installments. Subsequently, Malloy alleges, the Globe-Boston company forced him to make new agreement by taking their pumps from the workings of the prop erty and allowing the shafts to be flooded, much to the damage of the property. Malloy alleges that against his will he made a second contract for the sale of the property, as result of which he was to receive 30,00O$ in cash and 75,0O0 shares of the capital stock of the Globe-Boston company. On the ground that he had received neither the money nor the stock, Ma : Joy brought suit to recover his prop erty and annul the contract for the sale, which District Judge Nave re- fused to do.

Silver King Amalgamated.
Doubt as to just what sort of a

Doubt as to just what sort of deal
 requiring a special meeting of the
 stockholders of the Silver King con-
 pany, as announced in this paper last
 week, has been removed by a circular letter issued by President David Keith
 to the stockholders, and made public
 this week. The plan as outlined is to consolidate all of the property under the control of the Silver King and turn them over to (, 6,250, ,0OO$ company, organized under the laws of Nevada and to be known as the Silver King Amalgamated Mines company. That word "amalgamated" by the way sounds very Heinze like, and it is still
 thought by some that that gentleman still has his sights on Park City's big mine. In the new company will be l,25O,O0O shares of the par value of 5$ per share; such shares to be fully paid and non-assessable. Mir. Keith's let ter calls attention to the recent pur- chase of Jas. McGregor's holdings in this camp, amounting to 505 acres, and states that if the proposed consolida- tion is effected the number of acres owned by the new company will az gregate about 1,665 acres. Of the cap- italization of 6,25O,OOO$ it is proposed, states the letter, ''to allot the Silver King company, for it's holdings, apart from the property known as the Mo- Gregor holdings, and which were ac- ,quired from the settlement of the late pending litigation, the sum of 3,75O,- OOOs; or, in other words, to put the l5O,OO shares of the Silver King com- pany into the new organization on the basis of p for each share of the pres-

Fine Mill Going Up.

Rapid progress is being made in the installation of tho twenty additional stamps to the Quartette mill. The heavy timbers are in place and Super intendent Wilson expects, providing there are no delays in the delivery of the engine and other parts, that the two new batteries will go into con- mission within sixty days. Mir. Will son is incorporating many of his own ideas of construction and as a result the mill will be model of perfection. All the sills are set in cement thus adding materially to their rigidity. The six battery posts are beauties. Made of great sticks of Oregon pine they contain in all over 5000 board feet. These have been finely framed and instead of being painted they have been treated to repeated dressings of linseed oil. This seasoning not only benefits the timbers but likewise gives them the effect of hard wood. A 60 h. p. gasoline engine will operate the stamps, but the line shaft will be placed so that it can be coupled to the old one and the entire 40 stamps op- erated by the one eengine.-Searchlight Bulletin.

This district is beginning to attrat much attention in mining way. Bis bee, Globe and many other mining camps in Arizona have been enjoying great mining booms while this district has been grinding along in substan- tial and quiet way and at the same time holding its own in production. Many people have heard of the won- derful mineral deposits in the Clifton Morenci district, but when they got ready to venture into mining prop osition, they gave this section the go- by and located in a more lively camp. Bisbee is now pretty we'll covered and in short time the Globe district will be well supplied with companies. Then will come the steady influx of capital into the Clifton-Morenci district, and then will it be discovered that it is the greatest mineral zone of them all. Many years ago experts of consider able reputation did this section untold injury when they reported that the mines would play out when depth was gained, and in number of in- stances condemned claims which today are the best mines of the district
 Thus it has been proven that they were off in their calculations. Nobody has ever heard of single instance where mine in this section became a non- producer where depth was gained.
 Many of the old mines, which have produced tons upon tons of ore, have now gained considerable depth and they are as good, and even better, mines then they were on the surface. This will apply to the mines owned by the Arizona Copper company and the Shannon Copper company, as well as the Detroit Mining company. Why should it not be true of the balance of

Some of the Great Mines of the World


 Curle considers Mount Morgan the greatest gold mine in the world Those that most nearly approach it are, the HOmestake, in South Dakota, Robin son, Ferreirra Deep, Simmer and Jack in the Transvaal and the Waihi in the North Island or New Sealand. Mount Morgan has paid over $500, OOO9 in dividends. It has an immense ore body, workable for over twenty years to come. The average value of the ore is high; working costs are low. The Homestake and Simmer and Jack treat far more ore, but it is low grade. The Robinson and Ferreira Deep are richer, but they have not the past rec ord and will be worked out while this mine is still producing The Alaska Treadwell can be worked for one-fifth the cost but its ore is eight times as poor. The Golden Horseshoe is twice as rich, but it has only one ton in sight to Mount Morgan's ten. Mount Nor gan is not hill of solid gold-bearing quartz, but the greatest part of it is gold bearing. All the top of the hill, 25O yards long, 400 wide and l5O deep, is being quarried away and more than half is ore.
 The Tasmania mine in New South Wales is regarded as the wettest mine in the world. Every twenty-four hours, 3,OOO,O00 gallons of water are pumped out, and the ground is rendered so loose by the continual flow of water, that the bill for mine timber is as heavy as that for pumping. Water pours in deluge down the old stopes and is foot deep along the drives. A whole regiment of men is kept at work on the pumps.
 The Waihi mine in New Zealand has one of the richest shoots of gold ore in the world. Over million tons of ore are in sight. The ore shoot so far as developed is 2,OOO feet long.
 Whilst Mount Morgan is the greatest gold mine in the world, the Home stake is the largest with its 900 stamps and more. The mother lode of Cali fornia is probably the largest minera! belt in the world. It is over 100 miles long and twenty miles wide. The main Assure runs through the center of the belt and has width of several hundred feet. The immense lode of the Alaska-Treadwell is over 100 feet wide. It has a vast body of ore easy to blast down, crush and treat. The tailings run direct into the sea, thus disposing of difficulty. It has plenty of water power for it's mills and water transit to the mines and a deep water wharf. The 3J)-stamp mill is consid- cred the finest in the world, each stamp crushing four and one-half tons of ore a day for about six pence ton. -Searchlight Bulletin.

Fairbank trail, which has been heav- fly travelled this winter, is in very bad shape, and the road houses are noth- ing to boast of. Lively interest is manifested in the coast towns of Alas ka in regard to copper, with which the islands of Prince William sound and the mountains of the upper Copper river abound.
