CANANEA MINES.

The Cananea smelters will resume operations July 5, this date having been officially decided upon by the operators, says a correspondent of the Tucson Citizen.
 Last Saturday, on arrival of Gen eral Superintendent Tickets, it was decided not to wait for completion of the three 10000 barrel oil tanks be- fore starting furnaces. Thirty days will be required for oil storage, so 1t was concluded to blow In two furn- aces and use coal for the boilers. No additional furnaces will be added un- til oil tanks are up.
 There are eight furnaces of 300 tons capacity, each built on modern plans, and the mine considered to be one of the best equipped in the country. One section of the concentrating plant will be run. There are two sections, and the combined output Is some 2,400 tons per day, Cananea has done wonderfully well since the shutdown. With many developments under way and a force of 1000 men employed by the c. c. c. Company, business has kept in fairly good shape.
 There are at least 300 of the old employees here waiting for work, and they will receive the preference. The start of the camp will be gradual, and it Is safe to say that not much of an improvement will be percepti- ble for at least four months.

STAMP MILL PROPOSED.
Lively Operations at the Emporia
 Group in Yavapaf Go.

So well pleased is Richard J. Lynch representative of the New York sym dicate that recently purchased the Emporia group of mines, with the de- velopment of that property, that he and his associates in the manage ment have under consideration the installation of ten stamp mill at an early date. The appointments of the plant will be such as to admit of the doubling of it's capacity at a small expense whenever desired. The boil Ter and engine capacity will be dou- ble that required for the ten stamp mill and will also be constructed with Ia view of furnishing power to run a Huntington mill which will be install led in connection with the other plant provided the development of a large vein of low grade ore now being opened. warrants it.
 The new working shaft is now down 45 feet. The ore body has been widening as depth is gained until it is now the full width of the shaft. A hoisting plant is under installation which will be ready to run in a week. It is the intention of the management to push the shaft down several hundred feet and develop the vein by drifts from each hundred foot level
 Tents and houses are being erected at the camp for the accommodation of the miners employed which will be increased from time to time as fast as there is room for economic em- ployment in the development.
 The Emporia group of ten claims is located seven miles south of this city on the Prescott and Senator stage road. The Emporia claim, one of the principal locations of the group, has a good record in gold pro- duction, although it was never opened to any considerable depth. There is a mill site with a never failing wa ter supply covered by the locations of the group, and the development of the ledge to greater depth will also furnish almost enough water to supply a fair sized reduction plant Journal Miner, Prescott.

THE cERRo COLORADO.

According to the opinion of Dan iel J. Sully, at one time the cotton king of the Unitd States. and now engaged in mining in the Arivaco district, there is absoiutely no cause for fear on the part of the public in regard to the business future of the country, and the nation will soon return to it's normally prosperous condition after the presidential cleo tion is disposed of. no matter which way it goes. MT. Sully has just re- turned from his property known as the Cerro Colorado, in the Arivaca district.
 In speaking to Star representa- tive of conditions at the Cerro Colo rado, MT. Sully stated that he was well satisfied with developments and that preparations were being made for the installation of heavy hoisting machinery on the deepest shaft which has now attained a depth of 533 feet. The machinery is now in Tucson and will be hauled to the mine within the next few days. Besides the deepest shaft there are two others which have been sunk more than 300 feet. The property is not producer yet, although good showings have been made at various times.
 The Cerro Colorado comprises more than 2000 acres and is located about 50 miles south of Tucson.-Tucson Star.

ARIZONA MINES

E. G. Stroud and F. A. Stroud, known in Phoenix where they were born and reared to early manhood, as Ernest and Floyd, are lined up for wealth and prosperity. unless they develop a blow hole in their balloon that now seems air tight and war ranted not to rip, ravel, or burst in the winds of fortune. They were erstwhile railroad men holding re- sponsible positions in the train ser vice of the Southern Pacific and liv- ing at Benson, when Dame Fortune appeared to them in the guise of Miss Mining Opportunity and offer ed them here heart and worldly store
 They accepted and the young gentle men are now engaged in an effort to discover if her intentions are honor able and her resources all that they appear to be. To be more practical in statement. with one or two others. they have become interested in a sil- yer and lead prospect near Benson, where they live, that is sufficiently alluring to turn the heads of older men and to this date they feel that they are following the trail to wealth Floyd has deserted the coupling pin and lantern and if things go right Ernest will cut off the air and leave his engine in the near future.
 Ernest was in Phoenix on Thurs day pn private business and brought along with him a few samples of the rock" Two pieces a little larg- CT than Salt River valley spud were about all a man would want to carry without someone to help him and that they were almost pure lead and silver. It is only prospect yet said Mir. Stroud, but we think we have a world of ore. If they only have a little moon full and it is half as good as the samples seen here, they are fixed for life. Their deepest work ing is only a ten foot hole that start ed from a stringer and has now wid- ened to several feet, but the values are unmistakeable and further ex- ploration has developed other and similar deposits on the surface with indications that convince them they are not merely the possessors of a pocket, but are on a well defined vein, and a large one. Their close shipping easy and the values of the ore are well worth heavy freight charges beside a fine profit Their Phoenix friends vii surely wish for them the greatest possible success. Mir. Stroud declined 10 announce his plans for working the property at present, except to say that Floyd is
Arizona republican., 1908-07-05

Their friend was notified immedi- ately and work of sinking a shaft on the find was commenced. Two weeks work has completed a hole about six feet square and seven deep. with pay rock showing on all sides. On the east side of the hole dipping toward the center of the mountain the whole face shows rich values, and on the bottom of the shaft the ledge has widened to about five feet. About foot from this side is a bunch of pure galena ore about eighteen inches long and five inches wide. and on the bottom of the shaft within foot of the above bunch there is another at least a foot long about seven inches wide.
 Last Sunday w. P. White, who was out to see the property, took an av- craze sample of the whole face of this ledge and had it assayed, the returns of which shows over s1OO per ton in values. The face from which the sample was taken covered space of six feet high and five feet wide, so it can be readily seen that the strike is a good one.
 In it's issue of June 26, the Press speaks as follows of a later strike:
 This week Floyd Stroud came from the rich lead-silver strige in which he is interested and reported that they had struck it in a new place on the next claim to the north which is supposed to be an extension of the same ledge. Mir. Stroud said they had sunk two feet in doing the To- cation work when galena ore was uncovered which looks just like the first strike, He thinks it will be Just as rich at the same depth.
 The claims are called Valley View No. 1. Valley View No. 2, and Valley View No. 3, from north to south. The first rich strike was made not far from the south end of No. 8
 and the last strike was made over a little hill on the next claim north being in the direction of the lead claims from which Ben x. Williams recently made a test shipment ot 5000 pounds and for which he re- ceived very satisfactory returns Floyd said they had about 100 sacks of ore ready to ship.

now at the property experimenting its development. Concerning the original discovery, the Benson Press of June 13 says in part:
 Lead and silver ore, the highest grade of galena; assays show an av- craze value of over s100 per ton, and the richest ore going over $500 per ton. in gold. silver and lead.
 Such are the facts about the latest and biggest strike made in the Co., chise mining district in years. The property is located about three and one half miles from Dragon sta tion, in what is known as the Gun nison hills, low range of mountains lying between the Big and Little Dragoon mountains. about two miles on the north side of the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad, and about a mile from the grade of the new Johnson, Dragoon & Northern Railway.
 The strike was made about fifteen days ago and was kept as quiet as possible until it could be ascertained whether the strike was in a vein or only a pocket. Two weeks work has demonstrated that it is a good one and that it grows greater with depth.
 The discovery of the ledge was made by two young men. F. A. Stroud and Pear Adams, who were prospecting. They had gone to look at the property at the instance of a friend who had filed on the claims some two months previous and who was not able to handle the assess ment work. and had offered an in ! terest in the property to anyone who
 would do the necessary work. The Benson men went out and looked over the ground, and had about given up the idea of finding anything of value and had decided to eat their lunch and then leave. After finishing their luncheon they were sitting on a large rock talking the matter over, when Stroud, who was idly picking around him with a min CTS pick discovered a small black shiny streak of galena. He called his companions attention to it, saying Look here; what do you think ot
 that?" His companion expressed him.
 self that it looked pretty good. and ! thought that they had better dig around a little and. see what it would lead to. They did so. and at a depth of two feet the stringer of galena widened to about three in- ches. and the ore and yellow dirt which obtained its color from the lead and silver chlorides, made about ten inches more
