S. & P. WILL BREAK
PRODUCTION RECORD
SHIPMENTS INCREASE FROM
VARIOUS MINES
Strike Is Made In Shattuck on 600.
Foot LeveI-Lone Star Shaft
Approaches Ore Body
Is Report

BISBEE, Oct. 1S.-The Superior and
Pittsburg will this month break all
records for production, according to the
statement of General Manager Powell.
Shipments have been augmented from
the various Superior and Pittsburg
mines since the beginning of the pres
ent month, and 1t is expected that the
Superior and Pittsburg returns will
show a good net earning for October.
The total production for the Calumet
and Arizona smelter for the month of
September was something over 4,2O0,OOO
pounds of blister copper.
At the Junction mine of the Superior
and Pittsburg the new 1500-foot station
will soon be completed, after which a
drift will be driven to the Briggs shaft
on that level. At the station a new
25O0- gallon crank and flywheel pump
will be installed. On the 1400 level or
the Junction driving is in progress TO
cut the ore bodies which were devel-
oped on the 1900 level.
At the Shattuck mine, where force
of only about twenty-five has been kept
busy in exploration work, strike or
ore was made last week in hitherto un-
touched ground on the 600-foot level.
The strike was made in croSscut NO. 3,
and while consisting of only a few feet
of low grade ore it has an important
bearing on future developments in that
section of the company's ground, ac-
cording to Manager Shattuck.
The Lone Star shaft of the warren
company has passed the S00-foot mark.
and although seams of iron and sulphur
have been encountered no strike of ore
ia exnected until lateral work is begun
a after a water level is reached.

ACTIVE OPERATIONS
ARE RESUMED ON THE
RED MAN AT BIG BUG

PRESCOTT, Oct 18.-Active opera
tions have been resumed in the Red
man mine in the Big Bug district un-
der the management of j. E. Taylor.
The shaft, now down 22O feet, is being
pushed to the 300-foot level. where a
station will be cut and the ledge opened
by drifts and cross-cuts. High grade
sulphide ore was struck last week in
the bottom of the shaft. General Man
ager Taylor says that the values show
an increase as depth is gained.
A force of miners is employed stopping
in the upper levels The ore is being
stored in the mill, five stamps of which
will be started dropping as soon as the
ore supply is large enough to warrant
continuous operation.
The property, which is owned by the
Redman Mining. Milling and Smelling
company, comprises ten claims, located
a mile northwest of the MCCabe Glad
stone mine. and in the same mineral
belt as the Jessie, Leland and Dividend
all proven mines of merit.

KLONDYKE LEASERS
SACK SHIPPING ORE;
AVERAGE $1OO A TON

TONOPAH, Oct 1S.-Joe Kendall,
who is leasing at Klondyke, is in from
that camp and reports all the leasers
operating there as sacking ore for
shipping. Kendall says that he made
a twenty-five ton shipment last Sun
day to the Utah smelters, the ore av-
eraging $100 a ton.
1t is his intention to make at least
two shipments monthly, but in the
near future this will probably be
doubled. The leases are only about
three miles fro mthe Klondyke Wells
railway station and the ore can be
hauled there for a nominal sum.
There are five other leases being op-
Grated and all of them are extracting
high grade ore.
Kendall is associated with J. P. Ken
nison, F. B. Smith and George clark,

.SKIDOO SHIPS LARGE
GOLD BRICK TO MINT
REPORTED VALUE is CLOSE
TO $4,000
Richness in Osborne Lease Causes
Excitement in the Panamints.
Big Tonnage Ready for
Custom Plant

RHYOLITE, Oct 1S.-Fred c. Davis
and James Cunningham have arrived
from Skidoo with whopper gold brick
from the Skidoo Mines company's mill,
and shipped the bullion to the mine by
Wells-Fargo express. The brick
weighed about 1850 ounces troy, and
with a valuation of $19.45 an ounce, as
announced by Davis, the brick is worth
close to $4,000.
The Skidoo mill is dropping ten
stamps, with the cyanide plant in COM
mission.
The mine is keeping up its excellent
reputation, and with steady grind at
the mill big results are expected for the
future.
Davis said that portion of the ma
chinery has reached Skidoo for the
custom mill, which is being promoted
by e. NJ. Tracey, assayer for the Skidoo
Mines company. The mill will have
five stamps and will be erected below
the company mill. so that the waste
water may be utilized.
Tracey has hundreds of tons of ore
in sight for his custom plant, as the
dumps of the various leases are piled
high with material that is equally as
high grade as that which is being
treated at the company mill and some
of it is even better ore than that from
the original workings.
The Osborne lease Is especially pro-
ductive, and is yielding large quanti-
ties of way-up free gold ore. Shorty
Harris. who came in from the Pana-
mints last week. says that everybody
over Skidoo way is talking about the
richness of the Osborne lease, which is
considered a real bonanza.
There is an excellent field for fair
size custom plant at Skidoo, outside OF
the ore that will be taken out of the
oonnnanv Ieases The Granite Contact
Skidoo Contact, Roses, Queens, Ameri-
can Eagle, the Seller property and
others have considerable ore that will
pay to treat.

Los ANGELES MEN PREPARE
TO WORK WEAVEh PROPERTY

YUMA, Oct. 1S.-Fred N. Chandler,
C. NJ. Mcclure and E. s. Tamon of Los
Angeles, en- route to the Weaver noun
tains, between Parker and Ehrenberg,
stopped in Parker and purchased about
a $4,000 bill of goods from t. M. Dren-
nan of the Colorado River Supply COM
pany, and then went on to the prop
erty. This property consists of about
thirty-two claims. In the early part
Of June Messrs. Hird and Frye located
these claims, and few months later
sold them to the above named men for
a handsome sum.
Mcclure, Chandler and Tamon say
that this prospect is the best they ever
saw, and they have ore ready for ship
ment in the sinking of fourteen-1oot
shaft in the Mount League claim. They
have taken out eight tons of copper
ore that is almost a pure chalcocite
and runs over rs per cent in copper, one
ounce in gold and fifty-five ounces In
silver. The copper ore is on the foot
wall side of the vein and the balance
of the shaft is in a quartz that carries
high gold and silver values.

DAISY SYNDICATE SHIPS
THIRTY TONS EVERY DAY

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 1S.-The Daisy
syndicate is shipping ore at the rate OF
about thirty tons a day from the 3OO
and 400 levels. The grade of the ore
cannot be learned, and the only infor-
nation given out about the conditions
in the mine is that which is vouchsafed
by Assistant Manager Mitchell.
1.-THE mine is looking fine. and the the
reason that we have not been shipping
in the past few days is that it was
found necessary to do a great deal OF
timbering," was his statement last
night.
"The ore body is six feet wide and OF
high grade ore. L do not care at pres
ent to give out any returns from the
shipments, and am not ready yet &c
allow any one underground. This will
be the policy of the company for some
time to come.
"I do not care how the stock f1uctu-
ates. as that makes no difference with
those who own the controlling interest
Our efforts will be continued with the
intention of making big mine and
dividend payer of the Daisy"

To Connect Jumbo and Mohawk

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 1S.-A station is
being cut at a depth of $50 feet on the
Jumbo one Of the Consolidated proper
ties, to connect with the main shaft of
the Mohawk, which is down 600. When
this is done the work of sinking to cut
the main Mohawk vein and ore shoot
will be continued. According to the
dip Of the ledge it should be entered
somewhere between the 925 and 1000
foot levels. This cutting Of the station
gave rise to a story that an immense
ore shoot had been entered, but this is
denied by the management.

Wide Dixie OF Fair Quarts

crosscut at the 100-foot level. there was
pay ore in evidence when the drift had
to be abandoned on account of cave
in, but as it was not deep enough any
way we abandoned it. Water is giving
us a little trouble, but it is not a
serious question. A fair-sized pump
that will easily handle the floor flow
will soon be put in.
1.-THE Cactus Range Gold Mining COM
pany is not the only good proposition In
our neighborhood, as the Double Tri-
angle, one mile to the northeast, has
shipping ore at a depth of $50 feet and
the assays on the rock, which l have
seen, run as high as $40 ton in gold
To the east of us some two miles some
very rich ore is being taken out, but
do not know the extent of the ore body
One of the parties interested in the
property came to our camp yesterday
and had with him fifteen pounds of the
richest gold-bearing rock 1 ever saw.
I believe that it will run $50 "a pound

ALLEGED STRIKE IN
GROOM DISTRICT Is
WORTHLESS PROPERTY

RHYOLITE, Oct. 1S.-Fred Hesson
returned the first of last week from
the Groom district and left Thursday
for Ubehebe to do the assessment work
on the Lost spanish mine, owned by
him and Rhyolite associates.
The Groom mine, which is being op-
Grated by the Patricks of Goldfield, un-
der the management of E. H. Whidde-
kind, former superintendent of the Ma
tional bank, Hessons says bids fair to
become a big mine.
The new strike made a short distance
from Groom, which attracted consider
able attention a few weeks ago, has
proved worthless, Hesson declares. He
did not visit the locality, but he had
it on good authority that the discov-
cry amounts to practically nothing.

CLARK ORDERS MEN
TO SINK 1900 FEET

RHYOLITE, Oct. 1S.-The reports
from the Death Valley Mining COM
pany are that twenty-five men are at
work sinking the two shafts on the
Copper Queen vein. One shaft is down
1000 feet and the other 900 feet; SINK
ing and drifting are continuous. Rich
kidneys of ore are being encountered
in the drifts, but no extensive bodies
are expected to be encountered until
the main ledge is struck.
The Furnace Creek company is down
to the S0O-foot level and orders have
been received from Patrick Clark not
to stick a pick in the walls" until the
1500-foo level is reached. The en-
deavor to prove these two properties
is being prosecuted in a very thorough
manner and the stockholders are get
ting a run for their money.

OLD ORE RAILROAD MAY
BE OPERATED INTO NINA

GOLDFIELD, Oct. 1S.-Superinten-
dent Manson, Assistant Superintendent
Rowlands and Resident Engineer Fitz-
gerald left this morning for Nina and
will make a trip over the old road from
Nina to Candelaria for the purpose OF
inspecting it and making an estimate
of the amount of work it will require
to put the road in shape for use once
more. 1t is possible that the road will
be reopened by the company, although
no definite announcement to this effect
has been made by the officials.
The Candelaria road was at one time
used extensively to carry ore from the
famous Candelaria mine. OF late years
the road has been practically aban-
doned, only a few cars being sent over
the road at various times. If the road
is put in shape again it is thought that
the mines around Candelaria will inn
mediately begin shipping ore, as many
of them are now being worked

GOLDFIELD, Oct 1S.-Elmer F.
King, superintendent of the Cactus
Range Gold Mining company's ground,
after a brief visit in Goldfield has re-
turned to what he believes to be the
most promising bonanza in all of that
section of the country.
There is not much to say that has
not already been said" he remarked,
"but a few changes have occurred In
the course of development in the past
week or so. In the crosscut that is
being driven to the south at the 200
foot level one wide dixie of quartz
has been crosscut and fair values
found This is not the one that 1 am
after. as il is some distance away and
will not be entered for a week or two.
'If we open the ore body that is con-
fidently looked for the mine will be

ore can be broken off the ledge for a
distance of over 200 feet and in the

Gold Reef Properties
Sack Ore for Shipping

TONOPAH. Oct. 1S.--A number of
the local railroad men who are in
terested in the lease at Gold Reef, on
which a nine-foot ledge was struck
Wednesday, left today for that district
to examine the strike and make ar
raRgements preparatory to putting a
large force of men at work develop
ing the ledge. The strike has caused
a small sized boom for Gold Reef and
last week several outfits left for the
new camp. Among them was an out
fit of James Haywards, who will erect
a tent house on the townsite.
The ledge in the Toggery lease is
rapidly widening out and the values
are increasing. James Grimes, who
is operating the lease. is sacking ore
and will soon be ready to make the
first shipment to the smelters This
is the pioneer lease of Gold Reef and
is now operating a whim. There is
considerable ore on the dump awaiting

SULPHIDE ORE is
STRUCK IN EMPIRE
FIND OCCURS ON 4O0-F00T
LEVEL
over Four Hundred Feet of Drifting
Is Done on This Level and Fifty
Feet of Carbonate
Disclosed

Probably one of the best copper ana
gold mines in the country, according
to its DEVELOPMENT, is the Empire mine,
owned by the Empire Copper and dolu
Mining company, in the Dragon noun
tains, Johnson district, Cocluse county
Arizona. Steadily and carefully the
COMPANY has been at work for a long
time. The main double compartment
shaft is down now to the 4O0-foot Level
and sulphide ore is in sight over 4oO
feet of drifting and cross cutting has
been done on this level ana over hlty
feet of carbonate have been disclosed.
This same body of ore. it seems mas mas
been tapped at the 100, the 25O the 3zo
and the 4OO-foot levels, thus showing
it's permanency Ore seems to be
everywhere on this property in paying
quantities
Included in the fifty feet of ore above
mentioned is a large body of carbonate
| ore sixty feet from the SHAFT IN the
north drift forty-two feet In width.
At 172 feet from the shaft on the
| north drift the management again en-
countered bodies of carbonate ore COM
| ing in from the west. Owing to water
! at this point they have drifted north
| for about 100 feet. Here they encoun-
| tered lime and iron on the contact.
The ore runs strongly In native cop
per and is of high grade. Water Is
getting plentiful and so is native cop
| per and the evidence of Sulphide ores.
Several very fine specimens of lime
| CRYSTALS containing native copper nave
been taken from this level. 1t is the
| intention of the company to continue
| extending the north drift till 1t taps
the sulphide ore exposed by the old
workings of the mine.
Improve with Air Drills
Recently Sullivan air drills have been
installed and the work of mining has
increased and the expense decreased.
In July of this year the Arizona
| Copper company's output was 2,6O0,OOU
pounds of copper Their values ran
about 21a per cent. This mine is located
in the same great carboniferous belt as
the Empire.
Thus far the assay returns of the
Empire mine have run from AZ to III
per cent and the indications are that
when sulphide ore is reached, as II
soon will be, these values will be
greatly increased. 1t is estimated that
the mine has ore enough in sight to
run a smelter for five years and the
best territory of the mine has not yet
been touched. The company is now
figuring on building smelter and has
bids from several concerns.
This property is now the deepest mine
in the johnson camps and is destined
to be one of the richest copper and
gold properties in ARIZONA.
( An expert from Globe, Ariz, re-
Gently visited the property and pro-
nounced it one of the best in the coun-
try. The truth of this statement Is not
in doubt. There is no question that
the Empire copper mine will eventually
become one of the big producers Of Ari-
zona. 1t has the earmarks of a
bonanza copper mine, say the experts.

Ore Body Improves

PRESCOTT, Oct. 1S.-As depth is
gained in the new shaft on the EN-
poria mine the ore body shows improve
Inent in size and values. The shaft is
now 150 feet deep. In the last few
feet one foot of the four-foot pay
streak has changed to sulphide ore of a
high grade. Development is at present
confined to the sinking Of the shaft
which it is the intention to carry down
several hundred feet before any exten-
sive later1a1 work is started.

HURTS GOLDEN DlPPER
LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

SEARCHLIGHT, oct. 1S.-Hurt's
Golden Dipper, between the Boston
Quartette and Red Cliff, is, according
to discoveries the past week, living up
to it's name.
This work was but recently started
under the direction of G. A. DeBerry
and the first of the week he had pros
pected the surface of the main ledge
with numerous short holes for dis
tance of over 100 feet, and in every
case good to choice milling ore was
disclosed.
This plainly proves a continuation of

did not give the exact figures, but said
that the shipment will run about the
same as usual, which means in the
neighbrohood of 100000. The output of
