After the death of Pedlcy the property passed into the control of T. c.

 The properties transferred yesterday include 5000 acres of placer ground on Lynx creek, covering the bed of the creek a distance of two miles, and the right tn the use of all the water How of the creek.

These Iimproycmcnts are located near the west end of the main property, seven miles east of this city. and are also in. cluded in the transfer.
 Although the property has n record of production in placer gold, unsur' passed by any property of similar size in northern Arizona, it is practically virgin ground. The bed of the creek, proven lately by an eminent mining cxper, to be the riches, of the ground, has not been exploited. Only n few rich bars nave been worked. The directors of the new concern gave ont yesterday that it was the intention ,o install the machinery just ordered in the bed of the creek where the ground has been proven by actual tests to bc very rich Bedrock is found at depths ranging from ten to twenty feet, SD that tho ground can bc mined at n very reason able expense.

GREENE -CANANEA MAY REOPEN
 MAY 1,
,,,- r,u,sdov's Daily)

(IFfOm ThurSdayB DallN.
 The Journal Miner is relaoly h"' formed that production at the urcehe' Cananca will be resumed on or before May 1. when the company will be m positon to supply monthly output of 5,000,O0O pounds.
 During the past three months the cn' crgics of the company have been bent in inc direction of broadening tho de- vclopmcnt at the Cananca Central ana Connncn. Duluth, and improving tho smelling and transportation facilities thanks to which better results may be lookcd forward Co from every depart mont when the orc shipments arc again resumed.
 Tho feature of the recent operations ia ,o bc found in the favorable develop men,s on the Cananca. .Du'uth tract' wbcrc inc new shaft is bottomcd in ore assaying lj per cent copper ana twenty five ounccs of silver per ton. This de- yclopmont in a practically virgin tcrri' tory is of exceptional importance, and tends to confirm the opinion of those who have consistently maintained that better average yield would follow the co,nmcnccmcnt of ore shipments iron; this propcrty and the Cananca Central, both of which are now provided with d. rect rail communications and in every way equipped to supply total of i'ooo tons of ore daily.
 The Capotc shaft is being permitted to Rli with water, the purpose being |" ancnch fire that has been smoldcring in one of the levels the past two years IL is expected that this trouble will bc permanently eliminated by the time tho company resumes production.
 The task of rebuilding the smelling plant will be completed next month when requirements in this direction wil leave nothing to bc desired. Compared with the former plant the new one II expected to be operated at an enormous saving.
 The combined monthly capacity o the eight new furnaces is 100000 tons compared with 5O,OOO tons n year ago If needs be, four additional furnace can bc erected on the shelter side, fo
 which reason, and considering th , marked economies attending the opera ton of the new furnaces, there is n pressing need for the immediate con
 struction of the contemplated man moth shelter. It is more than likely however, that the matter of additions conccntrator capacity will receive earl attention, and also that a central plan , will be installed from which clcctricG power will be transmitted to the var
 ous shafts, snops, etc. With the in 2 provemcnts still contemplated ther , seems excellent reason for the belle f that the cost of this company's pr'
 duction will next year be reduced , 10 cents per pound.
 The Greene Cananca now employ
 about 500 men, which number is 500
 to be gradually increased. The fact ', scarcely appreciated that its patcnte ' mineral lands comprise sixty squal
 miles, in addition to the surface righ of tract of over 600 square mile 7, without doubt the largest holding , any mining company in existence.

will not be used except to exhaust the

has received no orders to fill it, and

the belief being that when the crop is
used up the ice house will be torn
down or removed across the track, be-

Uses Brunsviea Driven by Engine to
Compute Areas of Cross Sections
in Railroad Engineering, Involving
Half a Million Fieures-lce Har

r. d. Stewart, engineer in chief OF
the Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pacific,
who is preparing a set of tables giving
the areas of all cross sections in rail-
road construction. embracing fully half
a million figures in al almost endless
multiplication table, is computing the
matter with a BruDsviga computing
machine driven by an electric motor.
The machine makes the computations
and Mir. Stewart copies the results in
the proper columns of the sheets, the
first time. perhaps, that electricity vas
ever applied in similar work in this
state. When 1t is remembered that
the area of all cross sections must be
computed, and that sometimes there
are 200 of these to the mile, and that
ordinarily not less than four operations
is required to arrive at n answer to
the problem, some idea of the SAVING

when it is stated that the four opera
tions are done at the rate of fifty or
seventy-five to the minute. with nc
other labor than catching and record
