EASTER SUNDAY LEASE
STRIKES $50 ORE BODY

Fred L. Warburton is authority for
the statement that a three-foot body
of ore has been encountered in the
Easter Sunday lease on the Diamond
Queen that will assay $50 a ton through
out. The ore has been opened at a
depth of about thirty-five feet in cross
cutting from the south drift, about
midway between the shaft and the
winze. Mr.. Warburton says that there
is now a carload of ore in sight and
that a shipment will be assembled as
soon as possible Another shift of min
ers was added last week, and the ore
is being hoisted with energy.
At the Biddlecone & Culver lease
sacking is in progress and another ship
ment will be made about November l.
Good reports continue concerning the
Burch lease, in which ore was found
last week.
Gilbert is down eighty feet or more
and the assays for the past few days
have been running from $50 to 500.
AS soon as the original lease expires,
President E. j. Waugh of the Diamond
Queen company will take personal
charge of the development work.

HELVETIA BEGINS ORE
SHIPMENT TO SHELTER
Output to Old Dominion Will Be Ap-
proximateIy One Hundred Tons
Day-scarcity of
Teams

TUCSON, Oct. 11.-Helvetia has be-
gun shipments of sulphide ores to the
Old Dominion smelters.
This important news was brought to
Tucson by arrivals from the copper
camp to the south of Tucson. The
information is decidedly gratifying, as
with steady market for it's ores there
is every probability that Helvetia Will
add to it's working force.
With the failure of the reverberatory
furnace to give the results expected,
the Helvetia company decided to look
about for a market for its ores in out
side smelters. An arrangement was
entered into with the Old Dominion
company by which sulphide ores from
the Helvetia mine, containing sulphur
and iron, will be shipped to Globe to
aid in smelling the Globe ores.
The shipments from Helvetia will
approximate 100 tons daily The ore
is freighted to Walls station by wagon
and taken from there over the South
ern Pacific to Bowie and thence over
the Gila valley Globe & Northern to
Globe.
Just at present the Helvetia man.
agement is experiencing considerable
difficulty in securing enough teams tc
haul the ore and this is retarding the
ore shipments somewhat.

TONOPAH, Oct. 11.-Charles w.
Reed of Rawhide says that the grad

be completed about October 10 and
that the work of laying rails will be-

1t is believed that twenty-five miles
of railroad from Schurz to Rawh1de
will be in operation by Christmas.
In this connection, word has peen

the effect that money for the compile
ton of the building of the Rawhlde
Western railway had been raised ana
was on deposit in New York. Ihe
initial amount given out as being

LEGITIMATE MINING
WILL BE PROTECTED
AGENCY TO CHECK UP ON
WILDCATS
New Concern Has Record of over
1000 Mining companies-cor-
respondents Keep Con-
slant Watch

Legitimate mining, as represented in
Los Angeles, is receiving every day
new protection against fraud and Wild
eating. The most recent acquisition
is Tomlinson's Mining Commercial
agency, which from all appearances Is
in hot pursuit of the fake promoters.
G. E. Tomlinson of that agency
speaking of the new agency yesterday,
said:
There is in this city an institution
that is doing good in assisting legiti-
mate mining. Anything that tends
along these lines Is not only a help
to the mining industry but Los Angeles
in particular. This city, which has
perhaps more than it's full share of
fake mining companies, is rapidly weed
ing the dishonest promoter from this
section. The mining industry is one or
the largest of this country, and legltl
mate mining should be encouraged,
especially by the people of this section,
as Los Angeles naturally draws an i'm
mense revenue from the benefits of pro y
duction, and the wholesale houses OF
this city are ever increasing their busi-
ness in supplying the mines of the
southwest with necessary plants, etc.
Information of a reliable character is
always eagerly sought by those who
have invested in the many mining COM
panies.
"Tomlinson's Mining Commercial
agency, with offices in the o. 7. john
son building, make a special business
of reporting on all mining companies,
and while their head office is in Los
Angeles they have many branch offices
throughout the country, and a large
staff of correspondents in all of the
principal mining camps. They have
compiled an immense amount of valu-
able data on the mines of Alaska,
Canada, United States and Mexico. but
their reports on any company is secured
through special correspondents.
They have a record of over 1000
mining companies, and are constantly
adding to this from time to time. This
is the largest known list of mining
companies compiled by any firm in the
country and is valuable to them in
locating companies, as there are many
companies doing business in different
parts of the country with the same
name. This agency makes point to
keep thoroughly in touch with the min
ing business and notes the exposes of
all questionable promoters and COM
panies. Their service is certainly filing
long felt want among the investors Of
this country who never have had any
unbiased methods of obtaining reliable
information on their many investments
in mining. The agency is receiving the
hearty support of both the mining eX-
changes of this city, who are always
interested in recognizing legitimate
mining"

MILL EQUIPMENT
CRACKERJACK BONANZA GETS
NEAR LEDGE
CUTS SMALL VEINS CARRYING
HANDSOME VALUES
Works Through Hot Season Driving
Tunnel 400 Feet-MIIIlng Ore
from Fifteen Separate
Points

The Crackerjack Bonanza mine in
San BernardIno county is rapidly near
ing the state when it will be ready for
a large mill equipment. Differently
from most desert properties, work on
this mine has been steadily prosecuted
during the summer months.
The principal work since spring con-
sists of a tunnel driven about 400 feet
from the mouth on the mountain side.
This tunnel has as it's objective point
large ledge which outcrops most prom
inently and during its course has cut
several other outcropping ledges ana
several blind lodges, all of which show
from good to handsome values IN the
yellow metal.
me tunnel connects with the main
shaft and is now considerably over 100
feet beyond the present bottom OF the
shaft. In addition there has been drivS
en- a drift starting at the intersection
of the tunnel and shaft and, at latest
advices, running about seventy-seven
feet in a northeasterly direction. This
drift has been in ore showing fine value
almost from the start, something over
a hundred tons of good milling ore nav
ing been taken out from the drift thus
far, or considerably more than one
ton of ore for every foot of drift.
Milling ore can now be furnished from
fifteen or sixteen different points in the
mine.
To Drive Incline Tunnel
The management is preparing to drive
an incline tunnel from point on the
mountain side just below the mouth of
the tunnel now in. with the expectation
of securing a depth of at least 200 feet
from the apex of the property. and thus
opening up the rich gold bearing veins
that are known to characterize the
mine.
The results of the work to date, as
shown by actual pay ore uncovered
amply substantiate the faith which the
company has always had in this prop
erty. In addition to the ore which the
mine can now furnish for milling there
are about 1000 tons of ore, estimated to
run from $40 to $40 ton, on the dump.
1t is understood that work is to be
resumed on the Crackerjack Gold Min
ing company's property In this district.
This is the parent corporation OF the
Crackerjack district, and the property
has given promise of being excxeed-
ingly rich in copper. With the advent
of cool weather there vii be general
resumption of work on mining prop
critics throughout the Crackerjack dis
trict and in the vicinity of Silver Lake.

Kewanee people, is naturally incom-

been left out. However, a glance
shows the Importance of Los Angeles
as a great mining center. At Needles
are smelter facilities. easily reached
from every direction by rail. Machin-
cry can be shipped at the smallest pos
sible cost from Los Angeles by three
great railroad systems and their trib-
utaries. The map shows only very

Work at Golden Arrow

John ]. Hall and ]. ]. Cochrane were
in Tonopah from Golden Arrow a few
days ago, and both are enthusiastic
over the showing that Is being made IN
that camp. and report that more work
is now going on than for many months.
This activity is not confined to Gold
en- Arrow, but the nearby camps OF
Bellehelen, Horseshoe and Silver Bow
are feeling the effects of renewed vigor.
Several properties in these camps are
fast developing into mines. and the
several owners and leasers are very
much encouraged over the showing
made.
The recent sale of the Clifford group,
involving the sum of $35000o, means
much for this section of the country.
