the whole bottom of the shaft, which is 175 feet deep, is entirely in ore without either wall showing. Out of some thirty-ive assays made the ore showed values of from $10 to $700 per ton, while a grab sample from the dump gave sl94 in gold. Thus we have another great mine brought in to swell the list of the River Range, te South Africa of Arizona. Already a tunnel is being driven which will con meet tis shaft at a dept of 400 feet and arrangements will immediately be made for proper milling facilities.
 The great dyke, in which the Ex- pansion property is situated, is about six miles long and is the backbone of the mountain range. It may be plain ly seen from hundred miles distance. It will average 400 feet with and all along its length ore is found in shoots. It will some day be noted the world over as a great gold producer.

A LITTLE BUTTE MINE
 MAKING GOOD SHOWING
tFrom wednesday's Dailyl

Considering the number of feet of development, the ore showing in the Little Butte mine is among the most promising in the land of mineral won ders tributary to the Arizona and Cal ifornia railroad. This is the opinion of Constable J. J. Cavanaugh of Hum boldt, who returned here yesterday morning from a visit to that region.
 Speaking of the property to a Jour Miner representative, Constable Cavanaugh said in part: "At dept of 130 feet in the new snaft drifts are started on the vein. A crosscut shows the ore body fourteen feet in thickness. The lowest sample taken assayed s19 in gold and II per cent in. copper. Regular shipments are being made to the Fl Paso smelters. The ore is hauled by wagon to Bouse, from where it is shipped in carload lots.
 "Drifting is in progress each way from the shaft, which is being pusned down as rapidly as possible. As soon as the drifts are far enough ahead on the vein stoping will commence and the shipment tonnage increased. The mine is considered so promising by mining investors that stoe!; which was selling for 15 cents a few eeks ago now finds a ready sale at 50 cents.
 "The new hoist is in place and the construction of 'fhe camp buildings finished. J. c. Denton, general man ager of the property, is pushing the development and increasing the force as fast as room is made in the mine for the economic employment of min ers."
 Constable Cavanaugh will leave thii morning for Humboldt.

BIG STICK MINES DEVELOPMENT GOING ON
CFrom Thursdays DaiIy)

] Since T. E. Campbell accepted the position of general manager of the Big Stick Gold Mining Company a few months ago remarkable progress haI been made in the development and equipmbent of the property. The con struction of the twenty-stamp mill and cyanide plant is finished, oil tanks with a capacity of five carloads are under construction at Date Creek sta tion and the building of a tramway from shaft numbered g to the mill, 8 distance of 2,6OO feet, is well under way.
 Development is being pushed in the mine with a force of 45 miners. Stop ing is in progress in the drifts between shafts numbered and and a drift is being run to coneet shafts mum. bered 3 and 2 from which an upraise will be run to be used as an air shaft. As soon as the latter work is finished the force in the mine will be increased and development pushed on a larger scale than ever.
 The mill will be started April 15, when General Manager Campbell ex- poets to nave good supply of fuel oil at the plant. Contracts for haul ing oil from Date Creek station on the s. F., P. & P, twenty miles east of camp, have ben let. Other details preliminary to starting the plant on a steady run are being arranged. The mill will be in charge of J H. Morri- son of this city. James o. Morgan, who recently arrived here from Tono- ph, Nevada, has accepted the manage ment of the cyanide pint.
 L. c. Haynes, president of the Man haitian Securities Company, passed through here yesterday afternoon on his way home to New York, after in speeting conditions at the Big Stick. President Haynes company is fnane- ing the Big Stick Gold Company and the Haynes Copper Company. He is well pleased with the progress being made in the development of both prop critics. He was accompanied here by T. E. Campbell, general manager of the two companies. General Manager Campbell will leave this morning for the Haynes camp near Jerome. The new shaft at the Haynes is down 5s5 feet. As soon as the 700-fOot level is reached a erosseut will be started to- wards the ledge in a contact on the west. Twenty-two men are employed at the camp.

PAUL UNBALANCED
 MENTALLY GOES TO ASYLUM
lFrom Thursdays nailyl


 Mentally unbalanced in the delusion that he is being pursued continually by officers who desire to "dope" him, Thomas H. Paul, who was arrested late Tuesday night after brandishing a knife in the Palace Hotel restaurant and shouting, "IU get you," to an imaginary foe, was committed to the territorial asylum for the insane in the probate court yesterday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock. He will be taken to the asylum at Phoenix this morning by Sheriff Smith.
 The demented man insists that he is being continually "dOped" by every one he meets. In his delusion Tuesday night ne threatened to blow the Pal ace Hotel to pieces as soon as he rid ded himself of the imaginary foe. When asked by the examining physi- clans to explain how he was doped, he refused to answer, stating that the question was a foolish one. He an swered other questions intelligently.
 In his recent delusions he threaten ed the lives of his associates with a large knife.
 His right side is partially paralyzed, which affects his sight and hearing. He is 30 years old and very temperate in his habits, seldom indulging in in toxicants.
 Paul came here three years ago from California. Papers found in his pas sesison show that he enlisted in Com pany II of the Ninth Infantry, United States army, November s, 1901. He was granted an honorable discharge from the service March 14, 1903. He draws a pension of $25 month. His discharge was due to paralysis of the right side, due, it is said, to bolo wound in the head received in a bat tie in the Philippine Islands. His dis charge states that his record in the service was very good.
