SILVER BOW ENCOUNTERS
HIGH GRADE MILLING ORE

TONOPAH, Jan. 31.-Silver Bow, not
to be outdone by her sister camps on
the Kawich range, has come to the
front with a strike of high grade mill
ing ore that goes TO show that Silver
Bow has the ores that will make that
a camp that will be on the map for
many years to come on account OF its
many lodges of large size and uniform
high milling values.
Messrs. Halstead and Larsen of Gold
field, who have a long term lease on
the property known as the Silver Bow
Mizpah Mining company, owning the
Jennie K. claim in the heart of the dis
trict, have sunk a vertical shaft on the
west side of the vein, where 1T cropped,
to a depth Of 102 feet They then ran
an east cross-cut forty-five feet.
In the last ten feet they cut through
both walls, which are well defined. An
average sample across the ten feet
gave the following result at the assay
office in this city, and to say that they
were both astonished and pleased when
they received the assay certificate
would state it mildly. The returns We're
55.7 ounces in silver and .6S ounce in
gold a total of $41.45 ton.
Assays on the vein, which showed a
width of three and a half feet at sur
face, went high in gold values. Picked
samples run we'll up into-the thousands
and also carry high values in silver.
Nearly all the properties in the district
are showing up well with depth.

PIONEER LEASE SHIPS
TWO CARS TO SMELTER
Total Output for January Amounts 20
$23, acknowledgement Prepares to
Install Hosting Plant

RHYOLITE, Jan. 31.-Two more
carloads of ore from the Pioneer lease
are being loaded at Beatty, en- route
to Salt Lake. Superintendent Bryan
says that the two shipments will ag-
gregate about eighty tons and average
perhaps $100 a ton in gold, or $4,000
for the two cars. The leasing company
has shipped four carloads during jan
uary, the first car having a value Of
$11, 900 and the second $4,000. This
weeks shipments bring the January
output up to $4,000.
The production for the month is
only One-half what it might have been
had stopping been continued from the
sub-winze, as planned. Mr.. Bryan de-
cided to discontinue stopping until the
crosscut on the 210-foOt level reaches
the ore, as the ore may be handled
with much less cost from that level.
The crosscut is now in sixty feet
and apparently is entering the foot
wall of the vein, as the formation is
carrying gold values. Mr.. Bryan es-
Inmates that it will require twenty feet
of work to reach the pay ore.
Arrangements have been made for
the installation of a large electric
hoisting plant to be installed as soon
as the Nevada California Power COM
pany extends it's lines into the Pioneer
section. It is likely that a large COM
pressor will also be installed. These
matters will be fully closed up per-
haps within two weeks.

JOHN w. GATES MAY
INVEST In COPPER
+ PROPERTY AT BOUSE

BOUSE, Ariz., Jan. 31.-A number
Of prominent mining men from Los
Angeles have been carefully inspecting
the mining country around Bouse for
several days and have just taken a
flying trip to Los Angeles apparently
to fix up a deal. The party consisted
of George Kislingberry, G. A. Londs
berry, Bill Oches and H. E. Wood of
the Woods Investment company. The
Woods properties south of Bouse con-
sist of twenty-seven claims and the
development work shows great bodies
of ore. Kislingberry, Londsberry and
Oches have been in the district for
some time and met Mr.. Woods at
Bouse and after a careful examination
of the Woods property left for Los
Angeles.
They went out via Parker and the
automobile line to the Needles and the
Santa Fe and announced that they
would return to Bouse within ten days
and would probably begin operations
at once.
1t is claimed that these parties are
representing John w. Gates! who is
endeavoring to get hold of some of the
good properties in this district. Sew
eral good properties are now owned by
Chicago, Pittsburg and Boston parties
and it is claimed that Gates and his
friends are going into the copper min
ing business in this district, which
bids fair to excel any other copper
mining belt in the country inside or
outside of Arizona.

LUNING PROPERTY
PREPARES TO SHIP
AFTER NEXT MONTH
Prospects That Held Titles Through
Panic and Did Assessment Work
Are Now Being Substantially
Rewarded

GOLDFTELD, Jan. 91-It is almost
a year since the Luning mining dis
trict in northern Esmeralda county
posed before the spot light, but in that
time plenty Of work has been per-
formed and number of mines opened.
Right after the panic of 1907 a great
many of the claim owners of the dis
trict were forced to suspend opera-
tions which they never resumed. Those
who remained in the field or were able
to raise funds to do the necessary as
sessment work kept their titles intact.
and IN doing so many of them ran into
good ore bodies that soon placed them
in the shipping list. 1t is predicted
that within a month or sixty DAYS
Luning will disclose the names of at
least six properties making regular
shipments.
Among the most promising proper
ties is the group of eight claims owned
by the Luning Gold Mines syndicate.
of which r. B. Todd is manager and
one of the largest stockholders. The
claims lie six miles northeast of the
railroad station and have been under
constant development for four years.
They are opened by tunnel that has
been driven 400 feet to a point where
the face attains depth Of $50 feet
beneath the surface. The tunnel was
driven between two lodges that are
rich in gold, silver and lead. When
the bore reached a distance of 200 feet
from the portal a crosscut was driven
on the north vein and a winze sunk to
a depth of eighty feet, with the result
that the company was rewarded with
a two-fOot vein that carried good
shipping values. From this ledge a
carload has been secured for shipment
that will average for the forty tons
in the neighborhood of $50. 1t is hoped
that the mine will have been developed
so as to permit regular shipments
after next month. Then it is proposed
to send out one carload a week. The
miners are now employed prosecuting
to the south ledge and are within fifty
feet Of the point where, if the dip is
correct, the vein will be found On
the drift assays as high as 5000 a ton
have been taken, and there is every
reason to believe that the southern
| ledge is far richer than it's twin to
| the north.

c. AND S. PEOPLE PURCHASE
THE MITCHELL PROPERTIES

CANANEA, Mexico, Jan. 91.-A deal
has been consummated here that will
likely mean the addition of another
strong company tributary to this place.
The South Cananea, lying about three
miles directly south of the Oversight
mine of the -Four c company and
owned principally by the Mitchell
brothers Of Los Angeles, has been
bought by people who have a heavy in
terest in the Calumet and Sonora, and
new company is being formed One
of the men Of the last named company
is the prime mover in the deal, and he
is expected here in a few days to pass
upon the papers in the transfer and
launch the receiving company. The
purchasers have held considerable
ground adjacent to the South Cananea
for quite n while, and these holdings
will be included in the proposed cor
poration, which will be known as the
Duluth and Sonora.

Reports Of Rich Strikes at New Camp
Pioneer Inspire Remarkable Activity

NOLDFIELD, Jan. S1.-Reports Of
VT number of sensational strikes
VI in the district surrouding the
new camp of Pioneer, in which ore
carrying immense values has been
found, have reached Goldfield.
According to the information, the
strikes are not confined to the imme-
diate vicinity Of the mine for whicn
the camp is named, but have been
made in the outlying territory.
So rich is the ore said to be that a
number of cases Of highgrading have
been discovered, and detectives are
being brought in for the purpose of
locating the culprits and putting a
stop to this character of crime at
once.
People are going into the new
camp at the rate of fifty or sixty a
day, and buildings are being erected
as rapidly as material can be placed
upon the ground.
A syndicate composed of Dave Hol-
land of Tonopah, Ed Bevis of Rhyolite
and others is reported to have bought
the old Montgomery hotel of Beatty
and intend to remove it to Pioneer at
once.

chased two lots in the camp and has
secured a lease on one of the largest

JOHNSON DISTRICT
APPROACHES MECCA
PREPARES TO SHIP 100 TONS
A DAY
Railroad Work Progresses-Empire
Mine Pushes Beyond 500 Feet
to Greater Depth-Other
Mines Active

BISBEE, Jan. 31.-Steve Roemer of
Benson was here last week en- route
from the Johnson mining district He
inspected the various properties and
became enthused at the prospects un-
folding in the Dragon country.
''The johnson district is destined to
become one of the important producers
in Cochise county," said Mr.. Roemer.
1T has already produced more than
S3,0O0,O00 in ore shipped from the dis
trict.
when the panic came in 1907 there
were fully zoo men employed in the
district doing development work and
mining ore for shipment. Of course
scarcity of money since the panic has
caused many of the companies to stop
work entirely and others to go very
slow, and after the drop in the price
OF copper shipments were discontinued
because of the cost of hauling the ore
to the railroad, a distance of more than
ten miles. But it is known that at
least five companies will resume ore
shipments just as soon as they can load
the ore on the cars.
THE Empire Copper and Gold Mining
company is sinking a shaft which is
now down more than 500 feet. This
company has a well equipped hoist and
is pushing for greater depth.
Tine ArizOna-M Michigan company is
working two shifts on an inclined shaft
This shaft is now 460 feet deep, and in
the bottom is a vein of good grade cop
per ore. Besides the incline they have
a shaft of $50 feet deep which will con-
meet with the incline. The company has
complete equipment, including a gaso-
line hoist of S5-horse power. The total
amount of development work on this
property amounts to more than 1000
feet. AS soon as the railroad is ready
this company expects to ship ore at the
rate of fifty tons daily.
At the Black Prince
''The Black Prince company has now
reached the depth of 300 feet with a
shaft. The last thirty feet of this shaft
has been in good copper ore, and the
size of the body has not yet been de-
termined but it may be said that this
property will soon be ready to send ore
to the smelters.
1.-The Johnson Copper company is also
sinking a shaft. The keystone has a
valuable holding and is continuing at
work. The old Peabody company at
the present time is only doing develop
ment work, but this company has i'm
portant ore bodies already developed
from which it could easily ship fifty
tons of copper ore daily. 1t is known
that the owners of the Republic mine
intend beginning shipment of ore as
soon as the railroad is completed
II feel quite sure" said Mr.. Roemer.
"that the day of renewed activity and
prosperity is near at hand for the John
son district and that the new railroad
will begin operations with an ore tom
mage of not less than 100 tons daily"

NEW ERA FOR

SHIPPERS TO HAVE TIDEWATER

Rich Region, ThrottIed for Years by
Remote Location, Reioices at
Prospects with Coming of
Steam Horse

BIG PINE, Cal, Jan. 31.-Mining con-
ditions in this section Of Inyo county
are beginning to take on brighter hue
and it is expected that by the time
the Southern Pacific railroad completes
it's line from Mojave to Keeler, thus
giving the ore shipprs short and quick
transportation to tidwater at San Pc
dro, the territory tributary will see
some very extensive development work
well in hand. The western range Of
the White mountains has long been
known to be rich in lead and silver
ores, while the range farther east con-
ta1ns some large bodies of copper ores
and is also rich in gold, silver and lead.
The main reason why this section has
not been brought extensively before
the notice of the mining world sooner
mas been on account of the poor trans
portat1on facilities. All supplies and
ores have had to be shipped by way
OF Nevada, first on the narrow gauge
railway and then transferred to a.
broad gauge railroad. This has made
operations very expensive. But upon
the completion of this line from the
south this great drawback will be
eliminated and the mining public and
Los angeles may confidently look for
ward to some great surprises in mine
development from this section
A company of Los Angeles capital
lists are making a number of extensive
tests of the graphite and iron deposit
IN Mazuka canyon. 1t is their pur-
pose in case this deposit meets their
requirements to erect a large plant and
Degln the manufacture of a mineral
paint, using graphite and iron as the
base.
At Mcpherson Property
George w. Mcpherson and associates
are contemplating extensive opera
tions at the Mcpherson gold property
| on the eastern slope of the White
mountains in the near future. After
careful sampling and testing it has
been found that this property con
tains a large amount of very high
grade ore. An average sample from
the bottom of the 10O-foot shaft runs
as high as $724 in gold. This ore also
runs very well in lead values
j. w. Wright has leased and bonded
two valuable lead properties east IF
Wauloba mountain to A. A Stanton
and associates, who have started work
drilling crosscut. 1t is their inten-
ton to thoroughly develop this prop
erty. A few years ago there was n
| great deal of ore shipped from this
mine, which averaged so per cent in
lead and from 80 to 40 ounces in silver
An engineer from Denver for Messrs.
- L. Oduy anu " H. ReeQ Is expected
here in a few days to make a thor
ough examination Of their copper prop
erty adjoining the Lauretta copper
mine in Eureka valley, preparatory to
their beginning some extensive deveI-
opment work.
The DR.. Gordon Cane company has
begun work on a group of gold. silver
and lead properties south of Soldiers
pass in the Deep Spring valley cour-
try. They expect to begin making
shipments to the smelter in the near
future.
Big Pine now has a chamber Of
mines, which is organized to aid in the
building up Of the mining industry gf

"When Copper Is Too Rich to Smelt
Break the Truth Gently Fitz-Mac

TN HE stories told of the richness of
copper ore found in the early
Il days of Arizona history would,
SAYS Fitz-Ma put a competent coppre
expert of today ION his suspicious

''Yet 1 believe they were true-and
that was the trouble. 1t is the busi-
ness of prospectors telling too good
a story about their copper discoveries.
If they are true (Which no doubt fre-
quently happens) they cast doubt on
the value of the property.
cit takes a very competent copper
expert to lie successfully to well in

posit. A greenhorn always makes his
story too good.
while rich copper ore at the sur
face casts suspicion upon the value of

Little Florence to Shin

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 31.-Unless tho
predictions Of George Vickers, local
manager for the Little Florence Mining
company, are based upon a misappre-
hension that lease on the Fraction
ground will be regular shipper within
g. few days. The lease has its three
compartment shaft down 900 feet. Lat
eral work is being prosecuted with
three shifts on the 285 and 35O-foot
levels. At the 2S5 eighteen inches Of $50
ore is said to be in evidence at the bot
tom of a 50-foot winze. The company
is getting into the rich ore at the 800
foot level, and then will commence
shipping. The connection once made,
ore would be in sight in three places

near the Fraction line, and in the pres
ent winze.

that point the richer the worse. II

may still have left valuable quanti

500 feet of drifting, and then if your

fools him as often as he fools him

cation-a highly specialized education
in geology and mineralogy-to lie about
copper and make a go of it.

buildings obtainable, and will within
the next few days open a dance hall
and saloon.
Other enterprises are springing up,
and from all appearances Pioneer is
here to stay.
Both the Las Vegas & Tonopah anI
the Tonopah & Tidewater roads have
made preliminary surveys for an ex-
tension track up into the Mayflower-
Pioneer section. The Tonopah & Tide
water people, as stated last week,
were the first in the field at that time,
and route was outlined which left the
main line above SpringdaIe and cir
cled south and west over very pIaus-
ible grade, a distance in all of about
eight miles, up to the mines. The Las
Vegas & Tonopah has been in the field
during the last week, and have also
figured out a route into the place The
line runs up from Beatty, with the
same general direction as that adopted
by the other line.
Plans are now being considered by
the railroad officials, and the one that
seems likely of adoption is to arrange
for the Las Vegas company to use the
Tonopah & Tidewater track to the
junction, and for both roads to unite
on the construction of one track out to
the mines.

Strike on Eiq Dipper

GOLDFIELD. Jan. 31.-A strike Of
more than ordinary Importance was
made the early part Of the week on
the estate of the Big Dipper Mining
company. Work resumed in an open
cut which was made some months ago
has revealed ledge about a foot and a
half wide that averages better than
$50 for it's entire width. Much of tho
rock that is being taken out shows free
gold to the naked eye.
Messrs. Egan and Sweeney Of Vernon,
who are the principal stockholders in
the company, are much encouraged by
the latest discovery and plan to resume
the development of the ground on
large scale in the near future.
