Conditions Better at Bisbee.

Speaking of Bisbee mining condi- tions to Tucson Star representative. Hoval A. Smith said that Bisbee mines were all running full handed and with gradual increase in the price of copper and the corresponding in- crease in the price of copper shares, the Bisbee district was fast resuming normal conditions.
 Mr. Smith gave it as his opinion that work would soon be commenced on the Shattuck shelter at Douglas It is understood that the plans have been accepted and work will begin shortly. The Shattuck has many tons of high grade ore blocked out in the mine ready for the shelter as soon as it is completed.
 Mr. Smith stated that the important mining news of the Warren district was the strike of ore on the 18th level of the Junction mine of the Superior X Pittsburg company. The ore was encountered at point under the bus mess section of Lowell and in the di- rection of the Denn mine and is fa- vorable indication of what the Denn may expect with greater depth.
 Continuing, he said: q never saw things, after a slump, look more prom ising than they do now I have been watching the business conditions for the past two months and there is every indication of a return of prosperous times. The opening of Cananea was a very tangible boost for this country. and with copper going up, surely, even if gradually, as it is, there is no doubt but that mining activity on an exten. sive scale will soon be apparent.
 "Down at Bisbee the merchants are already beginning to feel the effects of the upward tendency and business there is more lively than it has been at any time during the past year. The slump never did completely cripple Arizona and 1 think what ill effects it produced are now about over."

Big Strike of Zinc Ore.

The Union Basin Mining company this week cut the number three vein in the GolcOnda property, and has been drifting on streak of solid ore averaging 23 inches in width, and car rying sixty-three per cent zinc. This ore was cut depth below one hun dred feet and is the finest body of zinc ore ever opened up in the county Two men in one eight-hour shift each broke down and sent to the surface five tons of clean ore in driving the drift ahead, one day this week. This ore is valued at PTS per ton net. In the other vein there is "A inches of fifty per cent zinc ore, from which large shipments have been made the past month. Another vein is yet to be cut in the property, which, on the surface, carries values in gold. silver and copper. This vein will soon be cut and worked. Mr. Boyle, who is managing the property for the com pany, is jubilant over the showing made. Since it was acquired by the company the property has paid for all development and left a good mar gin of profit besides. Mr. Boyle is rushing work on the mines and will begin the development of the contig- uous properties, which were recently taken over by the company.

Bi-Metal Mines

Richard Kilvert, well known Salt Lake mining man, is at the Mcguire mines, three miles south of Kingman, arranging for their active development A ten stamp mill is being loaded on the cars in the GunnisOn, Colorado, country for shipment to the mines. This mill is to be used to test the ores of the Bi-Metal for the purpose of as- pertaining the best method of working them. As soon as the method of ex- tracting the gold from the ores has been established it is the intention of the company to erect milling plant with capacity of at least 800 tons daily, while at the same time dili- gent and comprehensive development of the mine will be carried on.
 There is no doubt that the mine is one of the largest properties in the territory, and being situated so admir- ably for economic work it is possible to handle extremely low grade ore. carload samples or the ores nave glV- en results of above five dollars per ton, much higher than either the Home- stake of Dakota, or the Treadwell, of Douglas Island, Alaska. The average of the Treadwell for 1907 was only 2.20S, and the Homestake 390$. And yet these two properties paid hun dreds of thousands of dollars in divi- dends. The Bi-Metal vein is hundreds of feet in width and can be worked by the caving system, which brought such big results to the Treadwell people.
 Last Sunday number of the con- pany came in from Colorado and are now at the property.

Judge Blakely has been a resi- dent of Mohave county the past thirty five years and during that time has been honored by the people with of- flee the greater part of the time, which official positions he has filled with honor and credit. Here the best years of his life have been spent in blazing the way for the generation of empire builders that are to make of this part of Arizona the Eden of the west. He is old in years and knowl- edge and has friends in all parties that will help him to the goal of his ambition.
