UPPER GILA RIBBON SHOULD RECEIVE
 ATTENTION
Mining Men All Think District Is Rich
 In Copper

TUCSON, Jan. 29.-There is every reason for believing that another pro ducing mine will be added to the list of those along the upper Gila and its adjacent country during the present year. Reference is made to the prop erty of the Copper Creek Mining Co.,, adjoining the Calumet and Arizona holdings near Mammoth, and of which company R. Roy Sibley is the super intendent. A private letter was re- gently received here from MT. Sibley enclosing photographs of the camp and company buildings and with a short account of the company's operations. Considerable new machinery is being installed and the pictures indicate that the camp is model of neatness and pleasantly situated in a little val surrounded by hills. Concerning the property MT. Sibley says:
 "The Copper Creek Mining COmpa- ny is the pioneer in the field and owns by far the largest and most important mining properties of this new district. We constructed the road into the dis triet at a cost of $21,OOO, practically without the air from any of the other companies.
 "We have in process of eonstrue- tion 800 Kilowatt Corless Central Power station of which the first unit, 200 capacity, has just been completed. We are also constructing a thorough, modern and up-to-date concentrating mill, which will have a capacity of 25O tons daily, when completed. We have a very fine double drum electric hoist at our American Eagle shaft, and the shaft is first class in every re- speet, at present being three eOmpart- ments. timbered with 10x10 timbers. This is one of the best equipped min ing shafts in this section of the eoun- try. On the property are found some of the largest and best ore bodies of this remarkable new district, which is destined to come into very large pro- duction, during the next three to five years.
 "The ore bodies run from 3 per cent to per cent for width of from 40 feet to 15O feet in places, the same being in great porphyry masses, be- tween diorite walls.
 "The Copper Creek Co.'s mill will be completed during the early summer and will produce a considerable amount of concentrates during the last six months of the year. Upon the com pletion of the concentrating mill, work will commence on the first shelter unit of 25O tons daily capacity. Plans and specifications for this are now com pletely in hand.'

HITS SHORE OF
 SPAIN
By Associated Press.

A-CON-oN~N
 LONON, Jan. 29.-A special dis patch from San Sebastian, Spain, says a terrible earthquake mas devastated several towns and villages in south and southeastern Spain.
 A tidal wave practically submerged the coast near Barcelona, and a great landslide at Ceuta buried the village of Komara, and several hundred inhab- itants.
 A dispatch from Tarrass says Car elona is overwhelmed by a tidal wave. The loss of life is unknown.
 Subterranean roars preceded the tidal wave, causing a fearful panic in the promenades and buildings of the city.

HOLY MOSES MILL MAKES EXCELLENT
 TEST RUN
Gold Giant is Reported To Be Interesting
 Investors

KINGMAN, Jan. 29.-This week the Holy Moses mill made a cleanup of a few days run that netted a bar of bullion weighing $500. The mill was run but one hour a day, about a ton of ore being run through in that time, water for the short run coming from the shaft during the day and husband ed in small tanks. A. L. McKesson, owner of the mine and plant, reports that the ores plated up to a high per eentage of their value, the gold being heavy and free. l.. Hoffman has bond ed the property and is sinking the shaft to a depth of 200 feet. While sinking is in progress he intends to run the mill and test out the ores throughout the group of claims and especially the Holy Moses. The vein at a depth of 65 feet was found to be
 five feet in width, having widened rapidly from the surface. The ore milled gave a battery sample of about $35 per ton.
 A few shareholders of the Arizona Gold Mines company arrived in King man a few days ago and have gone to the mines to inspect the property. At the mines the ten-stamp mill has been in operation continuously the past three weeks and appears to be doing good work. The company has install ed a steam drill and two men can easi- ly keep the mill in ore. It is said that the one machine eah break fully two hundred tons of ore daily. The aver age value of the ore is satisfactory, al- though the mill lacks the necessary water supply to insure successful anal gamation. An effort is soon to be made to increase the supply and it is probable that within the next two months enough water will be develop ed to cover all demands of the mill. The company is well pleased with the mine results so far obtained and be- leve they have a great property. Ore averaging three dollars can be worked at a profit in this mill, it is said, and the average so far has been nearly six dollars to the ton. The saving is fair ly good on the plates. less than a dol lar going into the tails.
 Report has it that an exceptionally fattering offer mas been made for the Gold Giant mine, n Cottonwood dis triet, by eastern people. This is the property on which the Tawa Develop ment Company did large amount of work two years ago, and which was later taken over by creditors of the corporation. The mine shows good bodies of copper bearing gold ore, the bottom of the shaft being in shipping grade. The group of mines surround ing this property are said to be among the most promising properties of the county.
 o! T. Smith returned from the vol fram properties of Dudek & Sperl, near Yucca, last Monday and went on to his home in Johnson, Arizona, the following day. MT. Smith was well pleased with the looks of the proper ties and expects to return in a short time to make a more thorough exam ination.

Gradually the camp of Gold Circle
