ARIZONA MINES


since they began operation, says the Bisbee Review.
 The production at the Queen for July, 1908, was only half a million, pounds less than the total for July 1907, though a year ago more fur neces were in operation. It is be- lieved that the Copper Queen has produced more bullion during the first seven months of 1908 from its own ores than it did during the seven corresponding months in 1907. This is explained by several causes. One is the almost total loss of GUS tom ore which was coming from the various districts during the first half of 1907 and amounted to an import ant per cent of the total charge fed into the furnaces. Another cause for the light production of bullion in 1907 was the large amount of low grade ore utilized and still another was the smelting of the slag from the old dumps in BIsDee. The low grade ores and slag kept more fur naces in commission without materi- ally increasing the output. A year ago the Copper Queen was smelting the ore rom the Snattuck-A Arizona and also from the Imperial mine in Pima county. both important produc- CTS at the time, besides dozens of small properties in southern Arizona. southern New Mexico and in Sonora were shipping regularly.
 Seven furnaces are now ins com mission at the Queen against nine a year ago. The varying quality of ore may be Illustrated by the fact that the Queen smelter is now only using 150 tons of lime, daily as Aux, where as a year ago 500 tons of lime were required to temper the ore in the furnaces.
 The present force at the Queen amounts probably to about 76 per cent of what it was when operations were at the maximum. It will De a year the first of September since the financial slump hit the country, caus- ing a rapid decline in the price of copper and production was curtailel at the Queen, as was tha case with cnppe, compcny in the west.

NINETEENTH YEAR
HULL SHELTER READY IN SEP
 TEMBER.
Hundreds of Tons of Ore On the
 Dumps for Treatment.

Jerome will have another smelter running by September 1, according to the statement of c. W. Hull, presi- dent of the Hull Copper company, who was one of the representatives of the Copper City at the demooSatic county convention here yesterday.
 In conversation with a Journal Miner representative during a recess of the convention Delegate Hull said: 'I expect to have the Hull Copper companys smelter in operation on ores from the Cleopatra mine the first of the month. The smelter. tracks and otI~ar machinery are now being placed in shape to start the plant. Four hundred tons of ore are already on the dump ready for treatment. The ore w;ts mi led from the Cleopatra mine in the Dillon tunnel. It samples from $l0 to $25 a ton. carrying copper values from ten to eighteen per cent. The Dillon tun- nel is now in 3,20O feet. The drift from the 1888 shaft being run to connect with the tunnel is in $50 feet Connection will be made with the drift and tunnel by running 55O feet The tunnel will be 4.G0O feet in length when it reaches the 1SSS shaft. The tunnel taps six lodges. in all of which there is a good ore show ing. Three lenses of ore are now being developed in the tunnel. The first lens is in the Cleopatra mine, through which the tunnel passes HOO feet. Power drills were started in operation today on the Cleopatra ore body which is being mined 1.200 feet from the mouth Of the tunnel The ore body is tapped at a depth of 900 feet below the apex of the ledge. Good ore is exposed on the surface indicating that the snoot is continu- oUs from the tunnel level tn the sur face When the connections are made with the 1888 shaft the de velopment of the other lodges tapped by the tunnel will be pushed"
 The mouth of the Dillon tunnel is in Deception gulch, immediately southeast of the town of Jerome. It runs through the mountain south of Jerome and the United Verde mines in the direction of the 1888 shaft, To- eated immediately west of the Un- tied Verde companys smeiters. It taps the sir lodges at depths ranging from 900 to 1000 feet.-JournalMner.

CANANEA PROGRESS.

There are now four smelters in Op- eration at the Greene Cananea smelt- CT, two additional stacks being blown in late Monday afternoon and the re duction plant is now running at half capacity. The resumption of opera tions at two more furnaces came rather sooner than anticipated and it is generally accepted as an in- dication that the entire smelter will be operating at fuh capacity in the near future.
 Six cars of oil from the Texas oil fields, the first shipment under the $2, COG, 900 oil contract made by Dr Ricketts and the Southwestern Oil company. has arrived at Cananea. The shipment consists of 50,0OO gal Ions of fuel oil.
 In addition to the four blast fur naces now in operation. the rever- beratory furnace has been fired up, for the treatment of fine dust that it made by blast furnaces. but it will take a week for the reverbera- tory furnace to get worked mp to its full capacity, on account of more careful handling being required, be- cause of it's being made of brick.
 With the four blast and one rever- beratory furnace running, Greene Cananea is outputting about 4,O00, coo pounds of copper per month at a cost which is reported to be 10 cents per pound.
 All of the new appliances at the smelter are working to perfection, according to Superintendent Shelby of the reduction division of the company. Most of these devices have been introduced with the view of achieving greater efficiency rather than increased capacity, but both re- suits are being obtained in a measure that was not even contemplated by the management, as the present rate of production demonstrates.

THE MIAMI MINE.

Park Charming. vice president and consulting engineer of the Miami Cop per Co, is now in Globe making an examination of the property.
 Mir. Charming wires President Adolp Lawishon: Examination shows A. 900 tons actually blocked out Pros poets for many more millions nf tons. Everything perfectly satisfactory"
 Mir. Charming said in a recent inter- view:
 We have now blocked out on three levels of the Miami mine 4,5O0.0 tons of ore. and it is estimated there are 2, 2,250 900 tons additional near the ends of the various drifts and crosscuts, or a total of 6,75O,OOO tons of ore, of which We are reasonably assured
 This ore has been opened 105O feet in length. 700 feet in width and 400 feet vertically"
 Last March 100000 shares of treas ury stock of the Miami Copper com pany were placed with the public at g. per share. Under date of March 12 Mir. Charming reported that he Miami ore deposits contained 10000 of con centrating ore running per cent cop per
 The placing in sight of double the amount of ore since last March has been accomplished by the sinking of the shaft and crosscutting and drifting on the 500-fOot level. The copper is found in the form of sulpide dissem- mated through decompOsed schist.
 The 100000 shares of stock were sold last March to provide the com pany with $1,OOO,OO of which $25O 900 was to equip the mines and $750, 900 to build a 1000tOn concentrathg mill

The miner who is subject to the peculiar policy of certain smelters that are in a position to demand sometimes more than their due for treating ore and generally realize very complex ore, often wonders what are the profits of these metal lurgical works People who have bought the shares of smeltng com panies also occasionally question the philanthropy of the management when dividends are declared out of profits. Even the employees of the smelters will speculate on the re suits of a profitable or unprofitable year, especially when the day ar rives on which a change in the sal ary account usually is made.
 There are other economic factors which make an analytic discussion of smelter profits interesting; these include the dependence-- of the local population (storekeeper, ctc.) upon the successful operation of the met allurgical works The latter group of dependents upon the shelter have experienced some pecuniary incon- veniences as a result of the panic last fall. but there are signs that the situation has improved materially during the last two or three months,

here that came from the bottom of the Verde Grande shaft, and a marked inn provement in the formation is noted with the increase in depth. There seems now to be no reasonable doubt as to the shaft entering the sulphide zone within the next few dozen feet of sinking. The fact that the Cleo patra company, operating in the near vicinity of the United Verde mine, has recently opened up a rich ore body is regarded as of more than ordinary sig nificance among Jerome operators. It is also noted that the property of the Verde Grande company is now brought into very favorable light from the fact that it lies practically in a midway po- sitiOn between the United Verde and the Cleopatra. With enormous ore bodies in evidence on either side, it is believed that the Verde Grande stands a splendid chance of proving up to the best expectations of it's owners.

He has sunk several very deep shafts and has some very fine shipping ore. Last summer he had thirty men en- plOyed opening up his property and will have a few working again soon. only recently he has made several new rich strikes but is not ready to report on them.
 Gus Shade, an enterprising pros pector of this section, has brought to light some very rich ore, carrying considerable gold. He has sunk a shaft some 200 feet and can plainly trace the ledge all the way down. Anyone interested in a good property should address Gus Shade, Kelvin, Arizona.
 Joe Backward, one of Kelvin's best prospectors, has been in town that last few weeks taking a rest from a long siege of development work on his property. Joe. himself. talks very little about his property, but he knows the value of it and feels sure that he will dispose of it soon at a good round sum. He shipped a car load this past summer which netted him a good price. His oTt SOlu anu A9 one of the best properties in this section. The ledge on which his claims are located is practically the same as the famous Dagger Well claims are on, and the large Globe mines.
 Jim Elder is still banning out good gold on the Mohn group one mile from Kelvin on the Phoenix and Easter railroad. Jim finds the gold getting larger as he goes up the gulch and feels sure of finding many large nuggets when he is up further. Owing to the muddy cOndi- tiOn of Gila river he mas been unable to do much banning the last few weeks, but he is kept busy carrying the gold dust to the banks of the river. Jim is an old experienced miner and prospectOr and claims that this group of claims is very valuable.
 R. II. Thielman, an intelligent prOspector, is working on some of his claims below Kelvin. He has good property and has made some fine shOwings. Mir. Friedman has some claims near the Babarosa Gold Mining property, a few miles from Kelvin, and will be soon working there.

MUlHATI0N'S MINE
 AS II REALLY Is
Other Properties in the Vicinity of Ray and Kelvin.

Kelvin. Aug. S.-CSpecial Cores pondence of The Republican, )-There was an article in Mondays paper about Joseph Mulhatton and the pro- perty that he owned at Dagger Well. The article was a very imaginative one and we would like to state that the property is not twenty-five miles square but is five miles square and shows up very rich. Croppings are to be plainly seen all over the pro- perty Numerous assessment holes and small tunnels and shafts show up very rich ore.
 Only recently another rich strike was made at Dagger Well by MT. Thomas, owner of several claims in this district. The ledge struck was two feet wide and was very fine ore and it grows wider the deeper he goes. This section is without a doubt one of the greatest discoveries in the uniteH< States. The copper runs high grade throughout and the copper .croppings can be plainly seen for an area of five miles square. Dag ger Well is practically level and would make an ideal townsite Small AAiAA' lllAlS sil v lO De seen all over IllE section. The country is such that transportation facilities would be the best in the world. A railroad would no doubt connect this place with Red Rock when a guarantee could be furnished that work would be ade- quate to it; as it is the roads are in such good condition that shipping facilities to Red Rock and other places would be Al. Mir. Mulhatton and several other prospectors have been camped on this property the last ten years and have been develop ing 1t right along. There are at least loo assessment holes as well as num- erous tunnels on this property, show Ing up the immense mineral deposit here. Several deep shafts have en- countered fine sulphide ore. Mir. Mulhatton claims to have the best proposition in Arizona. This is no cock and bull story but plain facts and anyone desiring to pay a visit to Dagger Well can see for them selves and they also will be well taken care of by MT Mulhatton and others always on tbe ground. These men have not been here for ten years for nothing. They know they have a good proposition and are going to stick by it.
 Hank Barton's property in Drip ping Springs wash continues to show up fine. He now has a hoist working and is taking out some very rich ore. MT. Burton is not quite ready to go into details about his property but when everything is in readiness to report on it, he promises to open our eyes as to richness of his ore.
 The calm usually precedes the storm and as we have heard noth- ing from the valuable Renfro proper ty in Dripping Spring wash the last few days. we are prepared for most anything. MT. Sullivan, the hustling owner of this property is away at present on mining business and We expect any day to hear of the sale of the Renfro for several millions. This is a very valuable proposition and should bring this sum. A huge sample of solid ore from this property is on display at the residence of Thomas s. Trook in Kelvin.
 Tom Hall of Wooley has com menced work on his claims again. Mir. Hall has number of claims and has done considerable work on them.

COPPER PRODUCTION.

The production of copper for the month of JHIy-a tire Douglas smelt- CTS was larger than for any previ ous north this year. The total was approximately 12.250.O0O pounds, of which the Copper Queen produced S,O0O.0OO pounds and the Calumet and Arizona produced 4.250,000 This is not very far below the maximum production at these two smclters

GOLD STRIKE.

An ore body which promises to surpass iE eAtent .t1I richness any find in recent years in the Big Bug district was uncovered recently in the Grace claim, an extension of the Jes- sic mine, 700 feet west of the Jessie working shaft. at a depth of 900 feet, says the Journal Miner. The strike will infuse new life into the Jessie mine which has a record in produc- tion of over $SOO,00O in gold. Presi- dent John s. Jones, of the Jessie Mines company, is now arranging to start development operations on a larger scale than at any time since the palmy days of the Jessie, when it's rich mineral treasures were eX- plotted by Frank Wright of this city. meeting him a handsome for tune.
