 Judge :. H. Snider. superintendent and general manager of the Central Mining and Development company,
 operating the Two Queens mine. was a Phoenix visitor yesterday and brought good news concerning both the Two Queens and the Mansfield mine in Santa Cruz county. Some of the men interested in one of the companies are also interested in the other. and among them is Frank H. Horn of Kansas City, fiscal agent of the Two Queens and large stOckhOlder in the Mans field. When the panic struck the east
 both the Two Queens and the Mans field mines were crippled by the tying up of their money in the Kansas City banks. Both properties were forced to close down temporarily. The Two Queens resumed operations again in December with one shift of men and added another shift later so the prop erty is now being systematically work cd again. The Mansfield company has not yet resumed operations but will very soon. probably next week

The company having some what adjusted it's fiscal affairs is now ready tO begin operations and proposes to erect a thirty ton smelter at &ce. Though the property is not sufficiently opened for q large smelter and when it is it may be desirable to locate it nearer the railroad. it has been de- cided to build the thirty ton plant as a first unit atthe property and with it make actual smelting tests of the ore values found in the different work ings on the company's large group of claims. Mir TraylOr is the head of the Traylor Machinery company of Denver and is well known mining engineer. being consulting engineer for several large companies.
