MINING BOOM FOR
 MARICOPA COUNTY

The people of Phoenix are just awakening to the fact that MaricoPa county is one on the eve of a big min ing boom; that the Plank property, now known as the Arizona Gold and Copper Hill Mining company, located on Cave creek, nineteen miles north of Phoenix, will prove to be a second United Verde mine is not doubted by those who are acquainted with the sit nation Experts who have examined the property unite in saying that the showing made is fully equal to the best mines in Arizona.
 Development work is being pushed vigorously at the present working shaft, which is down about 60 feet The indications are that water will be found at depth of 80 feet and at that point will enter the zone of sul- phide ore.
 The mines in Maricopa county mean to Phoenix ana will do just what the Rocky mountain mines did for Denver" says Kit Carson, the senior member of the firm of Carson, Holt 6 MoCraig, the mining brokers. They are here to interest outside capital in the development of mineral resources of this county, which are as good as can be found anywhere in the United States, but which, for want of energy and the support of home | people, have been neglected.
 "Tne development of our mines
 means as much for Phoenix as the de. yeIopment Of the water resources of
 Inc Salt river valley.
 Recently several large parties of
 prospective investors have visited the property of the Arizona Gold and Cop iper Hill Mining company, all of whom have been convinced of its worth and several of whom will shortly become heavily interested in what is destined to become one of the greatest copper mines in the world. What We want now is publicity. The board of trade in its publicity series devotes its tims and energy chiefly to the development iof the agricultural possibilities of the Salt River valley without extensive
 mention of the great mineral deposit! | lying at her very door.
 The development of our mine! lmeans the development of the most
 fe' tile valley in the world, and if oul citizens would become public-spiritet
 enough to push the development of tht
 mineral resources of this district Phoenix would indeed be the mos : powerful and conspicuous city in tn, . southwest"

MINE
 AND ITS HISTORY

twenty men were imprisoned.
 Among these men were some who had long worked at the Vulture and knew the works thoroughly. They knew where to dig to strike another drift. and for twenty-four hours the entombed men labored with might and main to dig a passage. They knew that if they stayed where they were they would die for lack of air before they were rescued, though they might survive for some time without water and food.
 After a day and a night of inces- sant labor they made to the other drift. This. too, was closed up at the end by the caye-in, but they got out Of the mine through a stope. Tradition says that not one of these men ever worked in the Yulture again. On top of the ground, at some distance from the main shaft, vas a vast hole, forty feet deep, where the crust of the earth had slid down into the workings.
 A short time after their escape there was another caye-in. This closed up the stope and drift by which they had escaped. The Vulture's rich est ore was hidden in dark recess of the earth with many million tons of rock barring the way.
 No attempt has ever been made to uncover il. It was obviously impos- sible to tunnel through the rock which caved in, as it was broken up ana cracked until it could no more be tunneled than sand To drift around required more money than the own CTS cared to spend.
 The people who sold the mine the other day knew of the hidden rich ness and often thought of drifting eU it, but were afraid that the tales of the extent of the strike might not be strictly true. They told other people of the hidden ore and finally found some who were willing to buy the mine and search for it. It is under stood that the first work of the Pos ton syndicate will be to run a drift into the closed chambers, where, his tory says, the richest rock ever dls- covgred in the Wickenburg section awaits the coming man.

Bisbee daily review., 1908-09-02

The news which came from Wick enbarg of the sale of the old Nulture mine to a syndicate of Boston peopie for half a million dollars has revived the old tales of the nalcyon days of that great bonanza. The Vultuae has produced many millions of dollars. It is known that s16,0ee,0o0 has been taken out, besides much more that are now thousands of tons of ore in sight, but the old-timers aver that the richest lead of all is cut off from the outside world by many tons ef dirt and rocks.
 The ore which is in sight is mostly low grade. When the Yultrre mill closed down. $4 rock was being treat ed. according to tradition Just how rich it is the oid-timers have forgot ten. Though it may not surpass oth7 CT discoveries in the amount of mn eral to the ton, there is so much or ig that it means millions of dollars to the owners when IL is uncovered.
 The date of the great cave-in which hid the rich ore from the outside world has even been forgotten. Near a score of men were entombed. but after more than twenty-four hours or unceasing labor they dug their wa5 into another drift and escaped to free dom by a stope, Another cavern closed this way of access to the treas ure.
 The vulture. though it produced many millions of dollars, was always worked very eheaply The various owners did not timber the underwork- ings as they should. and miners knew them to be dangerous places to work But there are always men reckless enough to work anywhere if they are well paid for it, and the real neces- sity of using timbers was never brought home to the owners.
 Vast rooms were hollowed out un- derground. In many places the roofs of these rooms were ready to fall. One day a roof did fall, and fell so as tc block up that part of the mine in which babulously rich rock had been found a short while before About

COPPER MARKET
 OPENEDSTRONC''
 PROFIT TAKING
The Entire List of Stocks Looks Encouraging, and With Few Exceptions Better Prices Are Expected Before Long.
lBy Frank J. Graf.l

Today's copper market opened strong, with a good demand for better grades of copper securities. The ad- yanees made in Amalgamated. North Butte and Old Dominion could not carry through the entire session and at the close slight profit taking toon place. Stocks, however, held up very well. Greene Cananea sold as high las Il 5-S, but closed at II 1-2. Supe- rior & Pittsburg opened with sales at fl 1-4, but showed much strength at the closing, the last sales being made at 14 3-4
 Shattuck is being offered freely at 15 3-4, with few sales at that figure. Denn Arizona continues to hold strong at 3 7-S to 1, with few sales at the former. The New York market open ed fractionally higher and made good progress during the day, closing high CT than the opening. The entire mar ket looks very encouraging, and IL looks as though we might see better prices all along the line, with few ex- captions. The copper metal market is slightly improving, actual sales of cop per being made at fl cents.

 Gentleman: Both the New York and Chicago headquarters of the Re publican national committee has been opened and the work of the campaign is well advanced. The election of MT. Taft and MT. sherman is essential to the welfare of this country and pe-- feet organization is necessary to elect him. To secure a perfect organiza- ton the national committee must be liberally supplied with funds. Con Tess recently enacted a statute mak- ing it unlawful to soliciU money for political purposes from corporations. All the funds, therefore. for the cam paign must be supplied by individu- | als. You are requested to bring this matter to the attention of your busi- ness associates and ask each to send | a check.
 Please be as liberal as possible as lis will take a large amount of money to pay the expense of organizations the postage. printing, speakers bu- reau and various details that are a-b- solutely necessary to success.

Report comes to Kingman this week that in crosscut on the 9th level of the McCracken mine four feet of ore was cut that gave an average of S102 in gold to tae ton. The result of the first assay on the ere was so much of a surprise that the superintendent had new samples taken and run again. The result was the same, and although many other samples were taken to fniIy verify the results were the same. This is something new in the Me Cracker, which has always been con sidered a silver-lead proposition. The find was made in new territory, west of the old vein and it is possible thas this ere body extends to the surface.
 It is being exploited as rapidly as pos sible The management is highly -elated with the strike. On the 200 level great body of very rich sill
 yer ore has also been opened that gives promise of being one of the greatest bodies of silyer-leaa ore e5< CT opened up in the territory. Work all along the line is being rushed uls the property and before the first of next January the operating company will have enough ore blocked out to justify the building of railroad to
 the property from the main line of the Santa Fe and the erection of a big reduction plant at some central point.
