there are to be few disappointments
in dividends the coming month. Cal

closed at 81, a decline of seven dol
lars a share. This is very likely due
to the fact that tomorrow win be the
Gay to decide on the dividends, and
many are under the impression that it

reduced There must be some mixing

NORTH ARIZONA
COAL LANDS

WASHINGTON. d. C. Feb. 1S.-The
United States Geological Survey is
sued today a report on the coal fields
of Southwestern Utah and Northwest
ern Arizona. This coal has been
known since 1854, when the nrst
mine was opened in Utah. The re-
moteness of the field from any large
market has restricted its utilization to
the supply of local demands for wnici,
the officials say it has long been inn
portant. The construction of the san
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad has brought transportation
facilities within thirty-five miles of
the important outcrops. and a branch
line from this road to the principal
mines could easily be built. Such rail-
road lines are said to have been sur
yeyed, but no construction work has
been done.
The structure of the region is such
that some of the coal crops out in
PERCEPTIONS cliffs bordering the
plateau, 500 feet or more above the
plains to the west, and some of 1t is
exposed al the bottoms of the can
yons and near the level of the plains
For this reason a knowledge of the
geography. the stratigraphy, and the
structure of the region is essential to
proper estimate of the value OF Use
coal land With the purpose of gain
ing such knowledge, Willis t. Lee, one
of the biologists OF the United States
Geological Survey, made a reconnais-
sance survey of this Iron County field
two years ago visiting the principal
coal openings, sampling the coal, and
determining the position of the yari-
Gus. coal-bearing rocks. A brief pre-
liminary report on this work has just
been published by the Survey and
contains the results of the Govern
ment investigation of coal, Ignite,
and peat deposits. This report may

.FUMAROLE MINING
COMPANY PROSPERS
Time Record Broken In INSTALL
ing New Hosting MaChin-
cry at Mines,

STAFFORD, Ariz., Feb. 1s.-Tne
Fumarole Mining company, which is
operating a group of seventeen claims
in which Is located the famous Horse
Shoe mine. situated about seven miles
to the north or SANFORD and on the
south side of the ella mountains, is
making great progress with the de-
velopment work on their property.
This company started in with their
development work on October II,
last, by starting new shaft on the
Horse Shoe mine. In the first month
the record for shaft sinking was brok-
en-, depth of 142 feet being reached.
The shaft is two compartments,
each four and one-half feet by four
feet and timbered with fiye-foot sets
of eight by eight timbers. At the 200
foot level a station was cut, ten feet
by seven and one-half feet by thirteen
feet. Three crosscuts from stations
were driven, one east twenty-eignt
feet, one west thirty-eight feet and
one south thirty-three feet.
As depth in the shaft was reached
it became necessary to secure new
hosting machinery. On January 20
an order was placed with the Mine
and Smelter Supply company for a
sixty horsepower boiler and one thirty
horsepower boiler. Another record
was broken in the installation of this
machinery. In eleven days from the
time the machinery was ordered, the
entire hoisting plant had been re-
ceived in Sanford, hauled to the mines
and placed in position and started
in operation.
The hosting plant now consists of
a sixty horsepower steam hoist and
two thirty horsepower boilers.
The other equipment consists of Buff
falo blowers, blacksmith shop and
sawmilI All the machinery is well
housed in fireproof buildings.
The geological features show a for
nation different from that found in
other parts of the mineralized belt Of
the ella mountains. The formation on
the Horse Shoe mine being fumarolic,
or volcanic mud. The vein hes in
the form of an elipse, and carries
gold, silver and copper values.
The present depth of the new shaft
is 1876 feet. The next station and
crosscut work will be at the perma-
nent water level.

to the Director of the Survey in Wash
ington.
But little prospecting has been
done in the Iron County field, partly
because coal has been used only in
the small towns located near the out
crop, and partly because IL is exposed
at the surface at so many points along
the outcrop. The workable coal of
the plateau is probably ali at the
same horizon, though thin seams oc-
cur hsrs and there at several horizons.
Mr.. Lee calls special attention to the
thin bed of limestone. containing
many fossils known as screw sIeirs,
which lies about 100 feet above the
coal and is used by prospectors as q
guide in locating the coal bed. Sew
eral prospects have been located in
this way where the coal was covered
with slide rock.
The first coke ovens in southern
Utah were built near one of the mines
of this region, and early settlers used
the coke for smelling iron, but re-
ports differ as to coking qualities of
the coal from different parts of tae
field
The proximity of this coal field to
deposits of iron ore in the Iron
mountains will doubtless prove invst
important factor in its future develop.
ment The ore is too remote from
existing smelters to be profitably
utilized at the present time, but the
iron properties are rapidly being &C
quired by large operators and will
eventually be productive. 1t is pos
sible that the coal might be used for
smelling the iron ore near the mines
The New Harmony coal. particularly,
which is a semi-anthracite. may prove
satisfactory for this purpose IL 1t can
be obtained sufficiently free from i'm
puritias. This coal differs from the
other Goals of the region in its posi-
ton in the lowlands west of the
plateau in several beds of workable
thickness.

WEEKLY RESUME
In PARADISE
Mine DISTRICT
The Hilltop Is Planning Ship
ment of Lead and Silver Ore.
Twelve inches of Ore at the
hipperS.
paradise Record.)

Hands Bros. are considering max
Ing shipments of lead-silver ore from
the Hilltop. This will be done il the
owners ascertain that shipments can
be made at profit
Recently test made of some dust
on hand gave returns of AZ per cent
lead. and s OF. silver.
Several years ago a shipment of
22js tons netted S635, and another or
1900 pounds netted $40.
Tie high grade ore runs 60 per
cent Cor BETTER lead. and from to
50 OK silver. The low grade ore of
which there are more than 800 tons
on the dump. averages about SIS to
the ton. While the property must -oi
the present be known as a lead-silyer
group. there is loft. shaft showing
copper all the way, some of this ore
carrying IA per cent copper. 50 OF. sill
yer, and 90 cents in gold.
Recently in one of the tunnels a
connection by upraisa was made be-
tween a winze and an old shaft, and
the result is vertical shaft trifle
over zee feet in depth-one of the
deepest in the district. There are
many fine ore showings on the group.
but in this shaft there is such an eX-
cellent demonstration as to suggest
experimental shipments at once.
In the Hilltop there are 81 claims.
More than 25e0 feet of work has been
done, so that not only in showings,
but also as regards extent OF develop
ment work, the Hilltop is one of the
most important properties in the dis
trict The altitude Of the Hilltop Is
about 1000 feet, and the distance to
the nearest railroad point is about
80 miles distant Clearly, therefore,
none but the high-grade ore would
pay to ship. Were the property in
the hands of a rich company able to
erect an concentration on the ground
install machinery, and put on large
force of men, it is believed that the
Hilltop would in a very short time
be dividend payer of the first class.
In the meantime, there is considerable
ore usually considered of high grade.
and it is hoped profitable shipments
will be possible now. Silver and lead
are bringing very good prices at pres
emit, so that there will doubtless be
margin of profit
