ALL THE DISTRICT
NEEDS IS RAILROAD
The Tonto Basin Section Is
Coming Forward As a
Mineral District,

GLOBE, May Isl. c. Mankius of
the Tonic Basin country and one of
the best known prospectors and min
in the city attending court.
Mr.. Mankins is very optimistic re-
garding the future of mining in the
northern part of the country and
thinks with transportation facilities
the section would go on a genuine
boom.
There have been several rich cop
per strikes recently in and around
PaySon, while gold in paying quanti-
ties has been uncovered. Mr. Mankins
mas opened a ledge OF copper going
better than IA per cent and showing
gold and silver values. He has in
terested Los Angeles capital in his ~
claims and is satisfied with proper
development a big mine will be
created.
All we want in the northern part
of the county" said Mr. Mankins, Els
transportation facilities and men
with money We have ore bodies of
sufficient size and richness-gold,
silver and copper-to make the Pay
son county the leading mining sec
ton Of the southwest"
Mr.. Mankins is an old-time Mon
tana miner. He sold Senator Clark
some of the best properties and be
heves that if a proper showing can
be made the former senator would
do something for the Payson district
in the shape OF transportation facili-
ties

GOOD OUTPUT FOR
MONTH OF APRIL
The Big Clifton Companies
Made An xCeIIent Show
ing In Copper,

CLIFTON, May 1S.-The output of
the Arizona Copper company for the
month oS April was 1900 tons of
Bessemer copper, which was indeed a
fiattering record, and gives the COM
pany a good average since the first
of the year. The company is now
doing Al considerable amount of work
in the way of getting ready for the
installation of a new stack on the
hill, which it is claimed will do away
with the f1ue dust and also save CON
siderable loss. Upon the completion
Of the changes planned in the smelt-
ing department the Arizona Copper
company will have a position to in
crease the output. They have also
made extensive improvements at the
various producing mines, increasing
the output and reducing the cost Of
mining and transportation, all Of
which will show up to advantage in
their record for this year.
The output of the Shannon Copper
company for April was 725 tons Of
Bessemer copper, being the normal
monthly average. During April one
Of the big engines was out of commits
sion seyertl days, which cut the out
put somewhat. The big furnace was
also out of commission on account
Of necessary repairs, but the two
smaller ones were in running order,
and practically all of the work was
done by them. The big one is now
in commission again, and chances are
good for an increased output Tia,
month. 1t is reported that the Shan
non has an estimated ore reserve in
the Shannon mine of 100000 tons,
which insures the future of the COM
pany. Ore in sight was estimated at
a much smaller amount several years
ago and it has been increasing with
development work The company has
several other promising mines besides
the Shannon, but the Shannon is one
Of the big mines of the district, and
will be an increasing producer for
many years to come. It has continued
to get better with depth.

EENE-CGNANEA MINE
RESUMPTION PERATIONS
When Duties Come Off 1t Will
Start Up.

Boston, May 1S.-We are informed
that the Greene-Cananea properties
will not resume operations until the
Mexican government allows remis-
sion Of duties upon certain supplies.
This should result in a reduction of
copper costs. Already the Mexican
government has removed the duty on
California crude oil, and it is planned
by the company to use crude oil in
place of coal in Cananea operations
hereafter.
This question of the removal of
duties was elaid before President
Diaz personally by Thomas F. Cole
a recent trip to Mexico. There Is no
proposition to date has been a great
disappointment to the Cole-Ryan
interests, and that could they nave
foreseen a break in the price of cop
per, they would never have consider
ed the purchase at the time they did
or paid the price they did. Both
Messrs. Cole and Ryan were on rec
ord as predicting 25-cent copper for
two years at about the time they pur-
chased the GreeneCananea prop
erty.
The management has made great
improvements at Cananea and has re-
modelled practically its entire surface
plant The capacity Of the reduction
works is now double that of the for
mer equipment, with the same floor
space. The former capacity was 3d.
600 tons of ore per month. The new
plant will be able to handle 100000
tons per month, with about one-half
the number of men necessary two
years ago. This saving in labor alone
amounts to. 100000 per annum.
Our correspondent in the South
west, who recently visited Cananea,
reports that local officials say it will
probably be six months before the
plant is running full capacity, after
the first two furnaces are placed in
commission. About LOCO men are
now employed at Cananea. The ex-
tensiYe repairs which have been under
way for some months are now about
completed. II will not take over a
month and half to complete every
thing, and then the management
hopes to he able 10 produce copper
for IL cents per pound; but to do this
tariff concessions from the Mexican
government must be secured.

TO FLUME CREEK WATER
FROM OLD DOMINION
PinaI Has Seepage Into Mine
at Globe,

Five thousand feet OF fume extend
ing from the White House saloon in
North Globe via the Raurel irrigaIrUI
ditch and tunnel will be employed by
the Old dominion to convey the Piral
creek water over the Old Dominion
property to Steads' ranch. The com
pany is doing this to stop the seep-
age of water from the creek into the
mine.
The water that is pumped from the
Old Dominion will be fumed to the
main. Paul Michaelson and A. L..
Wilmington, who are experimenting
the flume project, state that they
had no instructions as to what the
dimensions of the main will be, but
they intimated that no effort would
be made to cope with the summer
floods.
Mr.. Michaelson has begun work on
the branch fume from the mine, ana
he says that it will be two feet by
twenty inches in the clear and 400
feet in length, and the branch from
the smelter will be two by three
feet.
By the conveyance of all the
water through fumes across the Old
Dominion claims, the seepage q the
water through the creek bed into the
mine will be entirely eliminated.

All the leading copper interests
unite in the statement that the cop
per metal situation shows distinct i'm
provement not only for export, but
for domestic consumption. The for
eign demand not only remains ulIa,
bated, but Is on the increase rather
than otherwise and shows indication
Of a still heavier demand from Ems
land and the continent.
Germany in particular is using q
deal q the metal, as many trolley
line projects are under way in that
country and there are large orders
for locomotives.
Private adyices from Europe re-
ceived this morning state that the
copper consumption in Germany for
the first three months of this year was
II per cent larger than for the cor
responding period last year, and that
in England the increase was fully 40
per cent larger. and in France Is per
cent larger.
The domestic demand, while show
ing improvement, still remains small
and far from satisfactory, but the
conditions are such that the Uv.u-
plete market riviyal, it is thought,
may occur almost any moment Should
