RED METAL DEPOSITS
 OF CENTRAL ARIZONA
Two Great Copper BOnanzas Tributary to
 the Capital City
They Are In the LOndOn-Kelvin District and Will
 Soon Rank Among ArizOnas Greatest Producers

process of concentration-alway 2j to 40 per cent-appals them, and the necessity for enlisting very large cap ital for the extensive and expensive plant required to do the $usiness on large enough scale to show an at tractive porfit, appals them some more. The milling of gold and silver ores has spoiled them for the milling of low grade copper ores-filled their minds with the ineradicable bigOtries of the quicksilver milling craft-al- ways try to make too high a saving.
 You can make just as high a say ing milling copper as milling gold butt it will not pay. A pound of gold is worth 2.34O times as much as a pound of copper; consequently you can afford to spend a good deal more money to recover it.
 McNeilrs great Arizona proposition is in many points strikingly like his great Utah proposition, but it appears to be a good deal bigger in volume three or four times as big-and a little richer in the average tenor of the output. It is distinctly a very lowg grade sulphide ore, but it aver ages six pounds more of copper to the ton, but probably from 10 to 15 cents less in gold and silver per ton than the Utah property. I would es- innate that it is worth about 75 cents a ton more than his Utah ore.
 NEEDS BIG CAPITAL.
 It chances that I had examined and reported on this great Ray property for a client myself before the Me Neill crowd took it over and so I am able to speak closely as to its merits. I advised my client to take it at the price asked. but I advised him also that it would be a hopeless enterprise without a working capital Gncluding cost of operating planD of three millions He was a wealthy man, of good mining experience and plenty of courage, and he wanted it, but it got past him somehow and fell to McNeill and his followers.
 GREAT ACREAGE.
 I am confident that it is destined to rank ultimately as one of the greatest producers in Arizona-and Arizona leads the world. It has now-proved up by shafts. drifts, tunnels and drill holes over four times the acreage of the Utah Copper cOmpany-S25 acres as against 200 acres. And it has a great acreage undevelOped, but be- lieved to be valuable.
 McNeill took over the property, I think. on the advice of Mudd & Wiseman. and these naturally drew in their own Los Angeles following, just as McNeill drew in his Salt Lake and Colorado Springs following, as ground floor people" Mudd is now consult ing engineer. and Wiseman engineer in charge, with his residence at the property. Sherwood Aldrich of Colo rado Springs is president of the com pany-probably representing McNeill, but himself a man of wide mining experience and of proven ability. They have been prospecting the ground with about forty miners and two churn drills for a year and a half. and are now almost ready to break out on a systematic scheme of vast development.

WICKENBURG
 THE VICINITY
An Increase of Capacity of
 the Monarch Mill
Some Later Facts Regard ing the New Railroad Survey.
(By Tom Shultz.)

Wickenburg, Oct 3.-(Special cor rospondence of The Republican)- Dr. James O. Ross and family of Macon, Ga, have been visiting in Wickenburg for the past week, the guests of MT. and Mrs. c. w. PIatt NIT. Ross is the president of the Monarch, Mining and Milling company which property is being operated ten miles east of Wickenburg
 This property was formerly known as the Frank Ryland property and is noted for its large deposit of sul- phide ores which, for the past four weeks, have been subjected to thorough test by the concentrating process. The plant was erected at small expense and as it has fulfilled its mission to the entire satisfaction of those interested, it is now the in tention of the company to increase the same to 100 tons daily capacity. This will only require the replacing of the five-foot Chilean mill by the installation of stamps. of which. thirty of 1000 pounds each have been de cided upon.
 Scarcely any of the material or machinery in the mill will be lost. as it all can be utilized in the enlarged equipment
 The reduction of this ore has been observed with a great deal of interest by those acquainted with the prop erty and that now, as the process has proven a success. credit is due Superintendent C. W. Platt for hay ing determined the correct solution for the profitable reduction of the

RAILROAD SURVEY.

The most important subject that is interesting the citizens out on the A & c. at the present time is where the railroad company will permanently locate the junction for the branch line to the Signal mine. The begin ming of the preliminary survey for the branch railroad into the Bill Will Hams country was started from point about six miles west of Bouse. which brings it within twenty miles of Parker. It is rumored that this survey encountered an enormous amount of sand dunes but that the grade was very satisfactory. As out lined the road will be about twenty t@o miles from the point designated below BOuse to the Planet mine and the distance is the same from Par ker. About midway from either place branch is surveyed onto the Signal. the important property of the Clara Consolidated, which company's prop critics are said to be the principal agents urging the present railroad construction. However, as this may. Parker is not worrying. but is resting easy in the satisfaction that the pre- ponderance of benefits is in her favor. The road leaving Parker would pass near the Quartz King, a few miles farther it would pass within three miles of the O. & W. and a number of other prominent mining proper ties. Of course this is all specula- uon, as the railroad people know their business and will locate the line accordingly. but the causuaI ob- server, absent of any tips, will gamble that Parker wins the junction.

Fitz- Mac in Los Angeles Times.)

(Fitz-A1ac in Los Angeles Times)
 The advent of the Salt Lake crowd. into copper mining in Arizona looks certain to prove an epochal event. Arizona now leads the world in the production of copper-leads Montana and Michigan by a very long lead, the former by 20,000, 900 pounds. the latter by 36. 900, 900 a year. That was for 1907. My judgment is that her lead will be as good as that this year-and probably a little better
 ArizOna's copper output is produced at a lower cost than any other region in the world is able to produce an equal quantity-Observe, I say, an equal quantity. Arizona does not produce her copper at as low a cost as Utah. but Utah does not, and probably never can, produce as much copper as Arizona-hasn't the de- posits
 The most admirable copper mining done in the United States today is that done by the Utah Copper at Bingham Canyon near Salt Lake. Their treatment plant at Garfield Beach. on the shore of Salt Lake. is now handling 5000 tons a day mined by steam shOvels from their Bingham Canyon property and the company is earning 70 per cent a year on its capitalization with copper at 13 cents.
 That tells the story of the cost Of prOducing-for the ore is a very low grade sulphide. averaging slightly less than per cent copper and about 40 cents in gold and silver per ton. It sustains my oft-repeated statement that the Salt Lalers are the cleverest copper miners in the world, when it comes to low-g grade ores.
 The Utah Copper company has planned to increase the capacity of it's treatment plant, unit by unit, till it reaches 12.OOO tons a day. They have a vast ore body or they couldn't produce that much ore. The enter prise is dominated by a great mind or they never would produce it, no mat ter how much ore they might have in the ground.
 CHARLES M. McNEILL,
 Formerly of Philadelphia, later of Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek, but now of Salt Lake. is the genius of the Utah Copper company which is distinctly recognized as the finest though not the largest. copper enter prise in the world of today.
 They acquired the property in the spring of 1907 and a number of Los Angeles business and professional men were taken in as grOund-flOor investors-all followers of Seely w. Mudd and Philip Wiseman, Los An geles mining engineers of high repu- tation. Mudd & Wiseman, I believe, brought the proposition to the atten- ton of McNeill and his Salt Lake Crowd. They knew him from his Cripple Creek days where all were bucking their duck in the same camp. McNeill's genius always ran to the handling Of low grade propositions. It did in Cripple Creek. where he was among the first to work out the diff ferent problems of successfully con- the low-grade tellurium ores of that camp.
 Most operators cannot figure on the handling of very low grade sulphide copper ores. The loss of metal in the

DEATH OF MRS. LOWRY.

It is very seldom that Wickenburg Is called upon to record the passing of any of its citizens. but last Sun day such event occurred in the death of Mrs. Lizzie Lowry, wife of John Lowry. The lady had been a sufferer for some time with tuberculosis, which disease took her off at the untimely age of 35 years, depriving two small children of a mothers care. She was a native of Paola, Kas, and
