TUCSON MINING DEAL.
(Citizen.)


 It became known today that big deal whereby the Paymaster mine. To cated south of Tucson, is taken under bond which is given to the Bostor owners of the property. The new company will be known as the Victor ia Development company. The amount of the bond was not given but it is said to have been g considerable sum. The bond was taken by Capt c. T. Roberts, who is well known local mining man and company composed of a number of local citizens will be organized with. out delay to commence operations al the mine
 It is understood that the organiza- tion of the company will be perfected on Monday at which time board of directors will be elected and the ofi cers formally named.
 It was learned today that a force of men will be put to work on the property at once. Development will be resumed and it is likely that with in a short time ore shipments will again be made.
 The Paymaster in past years has been a producer and has yielded ex. cellent returns. It passed into new hands several years ago but the new company was not successful in oper- ating the mine and it reverted back to it's Boston owners.
 The Paymaster is a silyer-lead pro ducer and the local people who have just acquired it are confident that it will again be a good producer.

.NOIEO MINING MEN
 VISIT GLOBE DISTRICT

GLOBE, April 26.--zhat interest. in Globe mining district is not wan ing was abundantly attested by the presence here during the last week of many mining men of note, repre- senting some of the largest copper interests in the United States, most whom already have important invest ments here. Globe is easily maintain ing it's lead among the mining camps of the southwest for activity in cop Ter mining, and not a single unfayor- able factor is discernable in the local situation. No more conclusive proof of the confidence felt in the future of the camp could be asked for than the recent sales of Broad street property at advanced prices and the several important business structures in course of construction, or to be erected in the near future, and the basis for this confidence in Globe is the steadily growing tonnage of ore that Is being blocked out in the mines of the district.
 The most important developments reported during the week were, a strike of high grade sulphide in the Gibson mine, the increasing richness of the ore being opened in the Black Hawk vein, below water level, by both the Arizona Commercial and Superior & Boston companies, the improvement in the shaft being sunk by the Cactus Development company in which the ore Is changing to sulphide, the cop per being q sseminated through the schist as in the Miami ores, but show ing higher naturalization and the con tinued fine showing in the tunnel of the Live Oak Development company. which is in sulphide ore for distance of over 500 feet Favorable changes have also been noted in the shafts be- ing sunk by the Arizona-Michigan and Superior & Globe Copper conpan- ies, the former having cut a small vein. showing some mineraiIzation, and the later strong ledge of iron.

OCTAVE COMPANY
 WORKS GOOD FORGE

WICkENBURG. April 25.-Forty miners are now employed in the oc- tave mine, majority being engaged in blockngout the large bodies tapped by the Joker shaft, according to the statement of M. W. Ditto. consulting engineer of the Octave Mining Com pany. who passed through here yes terday afternoon on his way to Chi cage.
 Steam hoists at two of the main working shafts will be replaced in a few days with electric hoists. when hoisting by steam will be abandoned. effecting a considerable decrease in the cost of operations.
 Development operations now under way contemplates the centralization of pumping and hoisting, with a fur ther view of economic operation of the mine. which is now entering upon the most prosperous period in it's his tory.
 Consulting Engineer Ditto also said that the new electric generatiD g plant of the Central Arizona Elctric company is finished with the excep- ton of q few finishing touches. The switchboards are almost in place and after few minor scam connections. the plant will be ready for operation.
 He expects to have the Octave mill. with it's increased capacity, ready for operation in less than three months and to have tn mine in shage at that time to produce iargsr tonnage of ore of higher average gra3s than ever before

ENGINEER ON
 NATURE OF ORE
 IN THE VULCAN
E. A. Haggot, Los Angeles Min ing Expert, Makes Thor ough Examination, of This Wei Known Property

PRESCOTT, April 25.-The Vulcan property is only twelve miles from Rouse and the railroad and in a dis trict proven to abound in mineral
 It lies in basin flanked on the east, south and west by the Plomosa mountains. It. Is easy of access and connected with Rouse by an excellent wagon road. The ore is described by F. A. Haggott. E. M., of Los Angeles, and well known throughout Arizona as thoroughly capable engineer, as follows:
 The ore as exposed on the surface and in the openings is an entirely OK tdiZed and leached gossan of lime and iron, containing two to ten per cent carbonate and oxide of copper, and three dollars gold and silver per ton. As al this oxidized ore contains an average Of 2 per cent Of lime and 25 Fer cent of iron oxide, it will be a valuable addition to the local smelling of the copper sulphide ore to be ob- taiued from the deeper levels of the ore zones. The ore is of simple char acter, and will be found practically self-fluXing in smelting, which fact is of great importance in considering cost of reduction. As indicated on the map of the claims, the ore crops lenght of $500 feet oH the west side and from six to twenty feet in width On the Vulcan ? South claim the out crop is POO feet wide. Other outcrops of connecting spur veins are shown on the map. and all show the presence of copper, gold and silver; as before stated. There is no question but that the history of copper ore under simi- lar conditions elsewhere, will be re- peated on the Vulcan mines. That is. an oxidized zone, largely leached of it's former copper contents, succeeded in depth by a sulphide ore zone en- riched by the addition of copper leached from above. The veins are strong and persistent. The outcrops are plain to follow throughout the dis tances marked on the map of the claims. The slope of the formations is westerly on the west side, hence both slopes of the formations are ore bearing and will be referred to here after as the east and west veins The uplifting force forming these slopes or antieiines having an eruption of ande- sitic porphyry The underlying rock. or footwall of the vein, is gneiss but in places reef of quartZite lies be- tween the ore bodies and the gneiss Especially is this the case on the Vul- can and 3 South and the John \. claims. where the ore body is a re- placement deposit in a deep-bedded formation, Of carboniferous limestone. but on the Henry and Hat claims it is andesitic porphyry. However, this is probably only local, being. no doubt, an overflow from the main local erup- ton of that rock"

 BOSTON, April 26.-Feature of the local market today was the sharp break in North Butte. The stock open ed relatively strong this morning al 63 but heavy selling soon came in and the Fs,ice ultimately broke to 33lk. closing on the bottom.
 The decline was steady all day with scarcely a half point rally at any time during the session. Stop orders were caught on each point down and frightened holders on margin were obliged to sell. There was no evi- dence of any support and it certainly looks as if the stock would go lower tomorrow. Balance of the list was quiet and steady until just at the close but We think that the weakness in North Butte must affect others and that the whole list will sell lower temporarily We repeat our advice to sell the New York rails and to tighten all accounts carrying coppers and industrials.

 country are encouraging and some of these stocks are a buy New York stocks held well during the day. but sold off sharply al the close. There was no change in the copper metal.

BENSON GAINING.
(Benson Press ]


 Though those who depend OF tran sient business from the travelling pub lie report dull times. there is a steady growth in Benson.
 Every day the sound Of the saw and hammer are heard in some part of town
 This growth is well founded. for outside of the town, up and down the San Pedro valley, new artesian wells are continually being sunk, a new irrigating canal is being con structed. and new people are coming in to till the soil
 More water means that more land will be farmed and more money re- suit from continually increasing pro duction; more men 10 do the work and mere families to occupy the new areas of land under irrigation from the canal and wells
 Although this agricultural. move ment is steadily increasing, there is so far only a small percent of this valley land. with artesian water un- der 1t, that has been brought into use by having water developeE 80 that the movement in farming has plenty of room to keep on growing for years.

NATIVE COPPER IN
 RINcoN MOUNTAINS

BENSON, April 26.-Specimens of native copper have been taken from the group of claims owned by Lewis Roche in the Rincon mountains, the find being made about 40 feet below the surface. where drifting was in progress on a big contact ledge. The copper is in thin sheets, and so pure that it can be bent as if it were tin. The formation in the contact is said to be loose and can be worked with but little difficulty. The ledge crosses the hill so the tunnel, while following it, is gaining in depth constantly, and it is expected that it will reach g depth of about 200 feet when directly under the highest point Of the ledge.
