3t is to be observed that the HCa- chucas. which once upon time were excusable for magnifying the import anec of every discovery in the district as the only means of counteractinS the deadly reaction occurring after the failure of the Mitchell Develop ment. are now working like beavers, investing their energies in breaking rock rather than in ink and permitting the favorable facts to ooZe through inc iptercises of recent success at helr own free VIII. There ha sbeen more activity and success in the Huacnu- GAS this summer fro what little mas been said about it, perhaps. than In any other district in our category. The old Hamburg properties at the head of Ramsey conyon especially have sone far to redeem the Huachucas and put them on an enyiabe footing.
 The Butte Arizona has done per haps more work than any other devel- opnent proposition in the district This company was organized under the Hoatson school, and shows no dis- position to animate the sale of stock, being amply prepared to carry out their development plans without any assistance.
 Several hundred feet of develop ment on the level plan has brought good ore bodies to light and the pros poets for final results are better than were expected in the beginning. Con sndence has reappeaTed all over the district as the work on the Butte Arizona has progressed, until, where a year ago you could get half in terest nearly anywhere for an annual assessment work, today stiff offers are daily declined and the complexion Of the situation altogether changed for the good

 McCord, which he pronounces the most remarkable surface proposition which he has ever observed. Some twenty-five holes have been sunk, none
 of them more than five feet deep but
 every one of them uncovering high
 grade copper. principally in form of
 native or glance. Such a proposition has heretofore been unheard of in this or any other copl CT field. The big , thirty nine pound nugget, which is to be seen at the store of Powers and
 McCord in Portal, came from the sur face on the property of Powers, Mo Cord, Smith and Moore, close to the
 Rabbit. A rare abundance of glance
 is found in this property, running as
 high as 65 per cent Just why work
 is not commenced on this property
 has not been explained.
 Chamberlain and Morrow have talk
 en a new move in regard to their ex- celient property. They are down 125 feet with whim and the property has
 doubled to the good in appearance in i the last few weeks. Denver parties
 were expected on at any time when Mir. B7ockman left, when it is practi- calIy certain that deal will be closed, in which event the contracting par ties will put up $50,o00 for the pur-
 pose of thoroughly developing the phy and other conditions are such that that sum will practically list it as a failure or a success, the former
 result not being feared in the least
 by it's owners and promoters.
 The Savage, according to our source of information, is looking better than ever and shipping will continue until the company decides upon some def nite plan of reduction for their ores.

 Superintendent Musgrave of the Fl Tigre is authority for the state i ment that operations in their camp have been appreciably retarded by the fact that the fiesta season is on in Sonora, and the swollen condition of the Yaqui river renders transportation dangerous and difficult, if not impos- sible Steady labor cannot be com- manded while the fiestas are in pro ] gress, but these unfayorable condi- tions are strictly temporary and as a general proposition the Tigre is en- tering grandly onto the successful ca reer which the final and favorable ter imitation of recent litigation rendered i certain.

Perhaps the finest place in exist ence to study the peculiar geology and practical metallurgy of the broad field by which Douglas is surrounded Is at the Copper Queen custom sam pier. Even a casual observation talk en at that point would be of value as imparting a general idea of the char acter of the ores obtained in a hun dred different camps and from innum- erable propositions, from as far as Globe, Imperial, Paradise and Cum pas.
 The new extension on the sampler was completed and in fun commission almost before the public had discoy. cred that an extension was contem- plated. The broad floor space. heaped with conical piles of ore of nearly every grade. quality and color, is of intense interest, while the crushing screening and quartering of the sam pies give one a sound idea of the in finite care exercised in the prepara' ton of a sample for the assay test A steady increase, amounting almost to a rush has been registered at the sampler since spring, demonstrating the increased development of shipping propositions on the outside, especial iv from northern Sonora

WANTS TO QUIT
Chief Engineer of the Panama
Canal viii Resign If Work
Is Let by Contract.

Washington, Feb. THE admins
tratiOn has been brought face TO face
with the alternative of rejecting all
bids for the construction of the Panama
canal by contract or losing the serv-
ices of Chief Engineer Stevens. This
is the reason for the delay of President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and Chair
man Shonts in acting on the Oliver
bid. An effort has been made to get
Mr.. Stevens to change his mind, but
he has continued obdUrate and the in
dications are that the administration
will accede to his request and that the
construction will be continued by the
government.
Change of Front.
This information caused some sur
prise. as MIR. Stevens testified before
the senate canal commission that he
favored building the canal by contract.
He now expressed the belief that the
canal can be constructed by the gov
eminent within ten years.
Following a conference of the presi-
dent with Secretary Taft, Secretary
Loeb gave out a formal statement that
the secretary OF war and the canal
commission will thoroughly examine
into the qualifications. experience, bust
ne SIS standing ard achievements of Mr..
oliver and his associates. and into the
responsibility of the sureties."
Secretary Taft later informed Mr.
Oliver that the president was very
much inclined to give the contract to
Mr.. Oliver and his associates. but that
he would not surrender his rights to
reject all bids.
