Epes Randolph is authority for the statement that the protected custom smelter at Mazatlan will be built A concession for a shelter at that Pa cifie port was secured by the W. O.. Greene interests late In l9o6. The location, according to Col Randolph is ideal and plant there will have the advantage of comparatively cheap fuel The ore supplies will be drawn from the mines tributary to the Southern Pacific extension. and he is of the opinion that the Mag atlan smelter will secure the bulk of the ore and concentrates shipped out of the Hostotipaquillo district of Jalisco. and undoubtedly other Jalisco districts will also contribute.
 The electrical equipment necessary for the reduction plant of the Vir- ginia- Mexico Shelter Corporation in tha Hostotfpaquillo district of this state has been ordered from the Westinghouse Co. There will be five motors in all, totaling over 300 horse power. The reduction machinery is now on the way from the railroad to the site of the plant, and the work of erecting it will be started soon.
 It is reported that good progress is being made in the reopening and de. velopmnt of the Aguacro, Las Bolas and other mines in the Guachinango district of Jalisco, owned by the Bolas Mining company. The mines were formerly owned by Edward Viiamin, who is now a stockholder in the company. St. Paul men are princi-

MOST PECULIAR COPPER MINE
 IN THE WORLD
A Concrete Mass of Pebbly Gravel In Which Copper Car bonate Has Been Forced "Vein" Is 125 Feet Wide.

KINGMAN, March 13.-Possibly one of the most peculiar copper mines in the world has heen located and is now being operated by County Re corier Thomas McNeely. It is situ- ated below the old Mineral Park Chloride wagon road, and about three quarters of a mile from the Western Railway of Arizona.
 The mine or deposit is concrete mass of pebbly gravel or sand in which copper carbonate has either been forced up from below or has been percolated through from some flow from above. The mass lies on a slope running down from the west side of old Nigger Head mountain. some distance below the veins of lime. which have in the past been used for the smelters at Chloride. It is the erosion from this lime deposit that has made the concrete filling m the great mass of experiencing ma terial. So far the mass has been un- covered to an extent of from seven ty-five to 150 feet in width and 800 in length and a depth of twenty seven feet. In places the deposit is covered to a superficial depth with debris from the mountain, but wherever this has been sunk through the copper bearing material has been found
 Many holes have been sunk to the ore throughout the main mass of min eral bearing ground and so far no place has been found that does not show the same general character of matter. Assays from all over the mace gives results of from 3.7 per cent. to per cent. copper. With the amount of work now done on the mine it is estimated that there is between 15o, 900 and 100000 tons of ore in sight. which will yield on q conservative estimate 12,150,O0O pounds of pure copper. Should the impression of the owner be correct, and that the concerted mass is but the exudation from a great copper mine, the possibilities of this prop erty are indeed great But taken as a whole. the occurrence Is one of the most peculiar ever found on the Pa cific coast and should interest scien- tific men throughout the land,
 Mir McNeeIy has interested John Boyle, IT,, in the property and exper- iments are now being made as to the best manner of making a recovery of the copper content of the ore. The concreted mass is so finely pulverized that no crushing is required, the mass disintegrating when covered with a suIphuric solution. It is quite proba' ble that a teaching plant will be put in shortly for the recovery of the cop per. there being no other values in the ore

Amalgamated showed strength from the very opening and held 1t during the entire market, closing at s6 IS. North Butte was also in good demand and looks as though there must be short interest in this stock, which has been covered.

Eastern Capitalists Interested In Rich Mine Meet In
 Phoenix

PHoENIX, March 13.--A party of four eastern stockholders Of the Oc- tave Mining company arrived here yesterday afternoon from the mine, eight miles from Congress, and will be joined here this morning by six teen more of the stockholders The purpose of the visit to Phoenix is the holding of the annual meeting at IV o'clock this morning, at which time there will probably be an election as well as the discussion of plans and policies. These gentlemen arriving yesterday are F. A. Lorenz of the Lo- renz Investment company, Chicago, J. s. Crowell of Springfield, Ohio, Dr.F. J. de Gjers of Chicago, and K. Ii. Hum, vice president of the company. E. s. Clark, who is interested as le- gall adviser, is here from Prescott to meet with them. With the party coming this morning, will be Mir Miesse, the presidents of the com pany.
 Vice President Hum is one of the eight men who organized the old Oc- tave company some six or eight years ago, the name being derived from the fact that eight men undertook its pro 1 motion, and history bears out the statement that their work was well done, for the company made good in l every way, bringing an excellent 1 plant into existence and operating the
 mine to a good profit, millions in gold | having been produced. A year ago last December, after the mine was closed down, Mir. Hum secured the interests of the other gentlemen and began the reorganization of the company, an enterprise that bids fail to be even more successful than the 1 former one. Mir Hum has arranged for a little banquet or supper for lhf visiting stockholders, to be acid thi: evening at the Hotel Adams. scst o

widely prevalent that Peru lies far
