SILVER ZONE MINE
SHIPS TO FL PASO

GLOBE, Arlz., May 16.-Already this
month one car of thirty-eight tons OF
silver and copper ore has been shipped
to El Paso from the Copper and Silver
Zone mine, and before the end of the
month another carload of about forty
tons will be shipped.
A shipment will be made to the Old
Dominion smelter today. AS this ore
represents relatively small amount
of labor, c. Taylor and w. r. Martin,
owners of the property, are highly
pleased with developments.
BY the sinking of four shafts, a part
of which are being operated on lease,
an ore body 100 feet in length and of
an average thickness of four feet has
been demonstrated.
In each one of the development shafts
ore of sufficient richness in silver and
copper to make its reduction worth
While has been encountered. In fact,
the recent shipment OF FL Paso came
from one of the new shafts. The deep
est working is 10 feet.
Taylor and Martin have twenty-five
claims near the Old Dominion. and
eight claims adjoining that property.
The old Black Prince mine is located
on the property, and from the outcome
of recent developments the claims will
soon become a very valuable PROPOSE
tiOn.

S, MINING AND PROSPECTS in GREAT SOUTHWEST REGION
ROAD TO HUMBUG MAY
BE BUILT THIS YEAR

PRESCOTT, May 16.-Embracing IN
it's confines many gold properties as
promising as any section of the South-
west, the Humbug district is stlll yield
ing its golden treasures by the crude
arrastra process, much the same as
forty years ago, due to its isolation
from railroad communication and lack
of wagon roads connecting 1t with IN
dustral centers.
Many of it's claim owners have re-
sided in its mountains the last thirty
years, content on developing their pros
poets and recovering the gold by the
old Mexican method, awaiting the con-
struction of a wagon road into the dis
trict which will induce the investment
of capital and the building of mills
]. b. Young, one of the largest claim
owners in this promising section of the
Bradshaw mountains, who was here
last week on business. says the miners
are doing well developing their claims,
all, however, deploring the fact that
outside capital cannot be induced to
invest in the district on account of its
lack of transportation facilities, which
practically doubles the cost of opera
tions compared with more favored Sec
tions of the territory.
The building of wagon road from
Harrington through the district to
Castle hot springs, projected last year.
is again being agitated. The mine own
ers and stockmen hope that the high
way will be constructed this year.

WINGFIELD & BROWN
CONTROL GOLD HILLS

GOLDFIELD, May 16-The Gold
Hills Mining company has passed into
the hands of D. R. c. Brown of Aspen,
Colo, and George Wingf1eld of this
city. This company owns the Conserv-
atiye claim, within whose boundaries
is the great deposit of ore now being
worked by the Pioneer Leasing COM
pany under its lease of the Bi-Metalllc
No. claim.
The new owners for a fortnight past
have been receiving reports and pre-
pairing for such action as may be nee
essary to protect their property. They,
OF course. contend that the ore body is
theirs, and it is equally a matter Of
course that this contention Will be
challenged by the Bullfrog Pioneer
company, hence litigation of an ex-
tensiVe character seems to be most
imminent.
The Gold Hills company will force
the fighting by the immediate tnstitu-
ton of proceedings against the Pioneer
company so that the usual processes
of injunctions, etc, may be looked for
The alliance of Brown and Wingfield
and their entrance into the field means
that the new camp of Pioneer has
mines worth purchasing, and that
abundant capital is behind the Con-
servative claim for the enforcement of
its demands and the protection of its
rights.
The company is represented legally
by c. s. Thomas of Denver and Bry-
ant & O'Brien of Goldfeld. Mr.. Thom-
as is here at present in consultation
with his associates.

To Open Mount Pleasant Mine

PLACERVILLE, May 16.-It has been
learned here that the famous Mount
Pleasant mine near Grizzly Flats. In
this county, is soon to be opened again.
From this mine the San Francisco mint
reports show that over $4,000, 900 have
been taken out. On June 7, at a meet
ing which will be held in San Fran
cisco, the stockholders of the property
will ratify the action of the board of
directors of the company. which recon-
mend that the company contract a loan
of $4,000 for the purpose of reopening
the mine, which has been closed down
for some time past. Of the two veins
which have been worked, one has been
worked to the 1000-foot level, and the
other, which is a smaller vein. to the
150-foot level. The failure of the banks
of Nevada caused J. w. Rose a wear
ago to suspend operations on this prop
erty when he was ready to begin taking
out the ore.

LOST MINE en- SYCAMORE
CREEK is FOUND AT LAST

PRESCOTT May 16.-After a search
of fifteen years by many prospectors
and miners, what is believed will de-
velop into a large copper mine was
discovered last week near the cOnflu-
ence of Sycamore creek and the Verde
river. The promising ind was made
by Fred Hawkins. city marshal of Je-
rome, and his associates.
The existence of rich float in the vi
cinity has been known for years
Prospectors, miners, hunters, cowboys
and others have searched for the ledge
in vain until early last week, when the
apex of the vein, believed to be the
source of the rich copper rock, was
found.
Marshal Hawkins left few days
ago for Los Angeles to finance a COM
pany to develop the property. He and
his associates are confident that the
find will develop into very rich cop
per mine.
The rich float was first found by
miner fifteen years ago

AUBURY TRAPS THIEF
OPERATING IN FRANCE
EVIDENCE TO CONVICT GIVEN
BY STATE OFFICIAL
Promoter of Fraudulent Stocks Is Sem
fenced to Two Years lmprison-
ment-FIooded Continent
with Fake Literature

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Statc
Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury is re-
sponsible for the apprehension and
conviction of Charles Woods Cannon,
an American who was found guilty of
swindling the people of France in SELL
ing shares in California mining COM
panies, and was condemned to two
years Imprisonment and to pay a fine
of $500.
Aubury furnished some of the
French stockholders evidence which
was conclusive of the misrepresenta-
tiOns made by Cannon. Aubury says
Cannon had offices in this city and
operated here before going to London,
where he flooded the United Kingdom
with literature containing glittering
tales of the wealth of his mythical
properties Aubury obtained some of
the literature from the Scotland Yard,
and promptly advised the English au
thorities of the fraudulent nature of
the advertisements.
Cannon also operated at Glasgow
and Edinburgh, Scotland, until he
transferred his activities to Paris.
where he found new victims Aubury
says he has been on Gammon's trail
for the past five years, and tried to
expose the fraud through the English
press, but the English press refused
to take any action. Cannon formed
d HuHlpSl u COMPANIES III EHSldllu
and France. and disposed of shares in
fictitious mining properties, represent
ing them to be adjacent to some val
liable and Well-knoWn mining proper
ties, and traded upon the reputation
of legitimate companies operating in
California.
He also disposed of shares in a COM
pany which had for its purpose the
seeking of buried treasure in the
Andes of South America incidentally
he proposed to rob the graves of the
Incas. claiming that much gold, jew
elry and precious stones had been
buried with the natives His opera
tions were extensive and his victims
numerous.

double compartment shaft at a depth
of 430 feet. When he left the entire
bottom of the shaft was in rich ore

getting through The ore is from 20 to
80 per cent copper.
The Centurian is sinking in ore and
at the depth of 100 feet the shaft is all

The Arizona United Mines company

Velopment work on a large scale in
scientific manner with modern machin
cry, the shipping bill of which has just
arrived, and shows that it is routed
over the Johnson, Dragon & Northern
railway line now constructing into
camp. Burley drill and a Fairbanks
Morse engine are among the new items
of equipment.
Two double compartment shafts are
to be sunk, one on the Republican and
the other on the Mammoth. This is one
of the big mining properties which has
been idle ever since the slump in COP

Will Increase Force
Twenty men will go to work at once,
and the force will be increased as de-
velopment progresses. The tanks have
already been filled with water hauled
from RusselVille by Robert Mckay.
New buildings are to be erected, and
considerable timber will be used in the
big shafts.
Timbers are on the ground for the
contractors at the Mayf1ower, adjon-
