Resumption at Lucky Cu-s Mine.

The most important news of min
inc nature of this district for the
past week. was that of the fact that
the Tombstone Consolidated company
began the work of preparing to re-
sumo active operations on the Lucky
Cuss property that has been idle
since last Novamber. when the entire
plant burned down. The shaft at
that time was not injured in the
least, those fighting the fire prevent
ing it from reaching the shaft and
burning the timbers. At the time
that the unfortunate accident oc-
Cured there had just been uncovered
in the winze that was being sunk
from the 500 level, one of the richest
bodies of ore that had been struck in
the mine for a number of years. 1t
is for the purpose of opening this ore
body that the company has been
anxious to resume operations on this
property. The Lucky Cuss has been
one of the best producers in the
camp and at all Fimes in the history
of its operations has been made to
pay its way and at all times has paid
extensive dividends to the companies
that have been the owners therhof.
The work of removing the machin-
cry, gallows frame, etc. from the
Toughnut property of the Consoli-
dated company is being rushed under
the supervision of Mart Hoar, and
he expects to have the entire plant
on the grounds at the Lucky Cuss,
boilers up, and everything to begin
the hosting of ore within thirty
days. The outlook for the district is
at present more encouraging than it
has been for some time.-PrOspeCtOr

With four turn ace: already in opera
tiOn and two Others TO be started with
in the next six wees ;, the resumption
of the Greene-CAns nea aud other in
terests in Sonora lay be said to be
pretty well under way according to
DR.. L. d. Ricketts, general manager
of the Greene-Ca1 lenea. who stopped
over in El Paso eI route to the mines,
after a visit Of st veral weeks in the
north and east, 5 ays the Herald
Only two fnru aces were fired up
when the smelt er started after its
shutdown, since then two others have
been started. 4: nd as soon as every
thing is runnin: gsmoothly six furnaces
will be in opera ton. These six fur
naces will do tt e work performed by
eight before the new improvements
were installed. and modern devices in
other branches of the work will in
crease the capacity all around, so
that operations in Sonora will shortly
assume their old time prosperous con-
ditions.
Something more than 20OO men are
now employed in the mines, and when
the two addi tjonal furnaces are start
ed this force will be increased to
about 1000. These 5000 men will be
able to do the work performed by 5000
last year with The old machinery and
appliances, but an enlargement of the
scope of the work is contemplated, so
that additional men will be required
to handle the Increased output plan
ned.
This work is all by the Greene
Cananea people The numerous small
er workings will also be able to re-
sumo. now that there is a smelter
running near them to handle their
ores without the expense of shipping I.
and these, will give employment
when in operation, to a large lumber /
of men.

High Prices of Prime Necessities in
Mexico.

a dispatch from Chihuahua, Mex
ico, says: Everybody is complaining
here of the very high prices at which
all articles of prime necessity are be-
ing sold not only in the city, but all
over the state. Corn, beans, pota-
toes and in general all kinds of arti-
cles with the exception of flour, have
nearly donbled their price within the
past three months. The poor are
suffering considerably. but it is ex-
pected that the situation will change
very soon, as everything seems TO in
dicate that crops will he good this
year and then there will be no reason
to maintain the present high prices
of above mentioned articles.

New British Patent Law went Into
Effect July 28.

Many American and German manu-
facturers are hard hit by the new
British patent law, which became
fully effective July 2S. The law re-
quires foreigners who obtain patents
from the British government to
manufacture their goods on British
soil AS a result of the act, many
German and American firms are
| either opening factories in Great
Britain or are overcoming the diff
Guilty by means of royalty agree
ments with British manufacturers.
The law is hitting the Germans so
hard that the union of industrialists
is now petitioning the German gov
ernment to adopt retaliatory meas
Ires. Several English authorities
are convinced that the law will con-
fer greater commercial and indus
trial benefits on Great Britain than
any law that has been passed in the
last half century. 1t has already re-
suited in the employment of many
Thousand British work people and the
introduction of an enormous amount
of capital from foreign countries.
1t appears not impossible that the
recent prophesy of Sir Alfred Jones
to the effect that the new law will
cause the investment of Sl25, 900, 900
of foreign-largely German-ca pital
in manufactures in England will be
fully realized. Already d large num-
ber of foreign firms have secured
factory sites. Over 10000 British
patents have been granted to for
eigners within the last three years
and not one of the processes for
which the patents were taken out has
been carried on to any great extent
in the United Kingdom.
Though primarily directed against
the manufacturers of Germany and
the United States, it will operate
with the same force against Canada.
1t is believed, however, that the
Canadian companies can satisfy the
requirements of the law by opening
British factories with only nominal
output.

NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

1t is reported on excellent author
ity that Horace E. Pomeroy, mana
ger of the King of Arizona mines,
has accepted the position of manager
of the Black Mountain Mining com
nany's great gold mines at Sierra
Prieto. Sonora, Mexico, vice-manager
Atwater, resigned. Mr.. Pomeroy is

cessful mine managers in the West.
His friends wish him much success in

Stockholders in the defunct Ari-
znna Savings & Investment company
of Tucson have received notice from
the receiver, w. NJ. Griffith, advising
them that he expects to pay a fifth
dividend this fall of approximately
Is per cent. This makes, or will
make, total of sixty-five per cent.
dividends paid by the receiver to the
stockholders. OF the total amount
of original stock at least $50, 900 was
held by Bisbee men. Those who are
in a position to know state that
there is every reason to believe that
eventually all of the claims will be
paid in full. The company failed
three years ago.-Review.
With its shipment last week of
s., 500 in gold bullion and a carload of
high grade concentrates, the Octave
Mining company so far this year is
still entitled to the highest place
among the gold producing concerns
of the county. The bullion was re-
ceived by the Prescott National Bank
last week, and the concentrates were
shipped to the Ell Paso smelters
The gold received at the bank was
in two bars. The SO, 500 bar repre-
sented the cleanup of the cyanide
plant and the other bar of $1,000 the
gold recovered from the plates in
the forty-stamp mill. The ore treat
ed was mined from the l 200 and 1000
level, where the rich deposits opened
several months ago, are still holding
out well and running the battery
samples higher than ever in the his
tory of the camp.-Courier.
Last week Judge Campbell render
ed a decision in the case of Mary
Nelson, administrators, VS.. Albert
Steinfeld. The case was heard in
court several months ago. Mrs. Neil
sou, whose late husband was identi-
fed with mining interests at and
near the Old Boot of the Imperial
Copper company, now operating on
the claims purchased from Steinfeld
& Co., brought the suit to rescind the
transfer of 800 shares of the capital
stock of the Nelson Mining & Smelt-
ing company. The company was
wound up by sale of the property
to the Imperial Copper company and
a dividend of S33, 900 was declared by
the company to Steiufeld as trans
feree of the stock The court held
that the stock was invalid and re-
quired Steinfeld to account for the
S33, 900, less the amount of $4,000
which he had paid Mrs. Nielsen in
January, 1904. The amount due in
the Judgment, with interest and costs
will amount to nearly $50, 0OO.-Citizen

Tucson May Get Wichita.

The Wichita baseball team of the
Western association wants to jump
to Tucson in a body in the fall and
spend the winter there.
This information was given in a
letter received in Tucson from Pitcher
Frank Dick, who is one the leading
jewellers of the Wichita team. He
stated that if there is to be any fall
baseball in Arizona the members of
the Wichita club would like to take
part. He added that they preferred
to play in Tucson to any other city in
the southwest and that they would
like to go there as one team.
Jack Holland, manager of the
Wichita team, is a southwesterner,
having business near Silver City,
N. M,y1f his team is secured for
Tucson he will go with it and play
first base.
Inasmuch as Phoenix intends to i'm
port the Dayton (Ohio1 team, with
Bayless at its head, while Douglas
will have a bunch of Southern lea
guers, with Rube Walters in charge,
and Bisbee one of the Western asso-
citation teams, it behooves Tucson
ball rulers to get busy if that city is
to have as strong a representative
this fall on the diamond as the others.
