EXPECTED SALE AT Ell VAN
FOR $5oo,ooo FALLS DOWN

BISBEE, June 27.-The expected
sale of Ell Van, the siX-month- old
property adjacent to the rich Pilares,
Is off, for the present at least, If not
definitely,
1t was firmly believed that this sale
would go through, for the expert sent
by the agents or representatives of the
proposed purchasers turned in glow
ing report on the property. The con-
sideration was to have been 100000 in
gold,
r. L. Van Dusen, chief owner Of the
property, was in the city yesterday and
gave the facts. He said that Fritz
Kohlmeyer, his partner, wrote him
from San Francisco that the sale
seemed certain, but that it later de-
veloped that a further extension of
two months on the option was wanted,
and this he refused to grant without a
substantial payment on account. This
not being forthcoming, Van Dusen
wired Kohlmeyer to return home and
drop further negotiations. The pro-
posed purchasers were said to be par
ties to a French syndicate represented
by San Francisco individual.

YUMA, June 27-Specimens taken
from various depths, ranging from 60
foot level to 300-foot level of the North

declared by a practical expert, whose
experience embraces mining operations
from Alaska to South Africa, to be the
richest pieces of ore ever taken from

six TO thirty feet in width. From TINS
body there are ore shoots ranging from
$50 to 200 feet in length, three such
shoots having been followed up to the
present. The shaft is down 300 feet

MINES, MINING AND PROSPECTS IN GREAT SOUTHWEST REGION
Discovery in Crook Canyon
Receives Experts s Approval

fore. Handsome bar of gold bullion tne
result of a recent cleanup by the Ola
reliable Poland Mining company, was
received last week at the Prescott Ma
tional bank, consigned to the mint at
san Francisco II topped the scales at
nearly $4,000, and is a fine looking piece
of mineral IT is from the Accidental
vein of the group being operated.
With the same receipt a shipment
of iron concentrates passed through
from that property 1t goes to the
Sasco smelter. in southern Arizona.
Another car of lead concentrates from
the same mine went through the hands
of r. IL. Hetherington to the El Paso
plant.
An average of two cars of concen-
trates is yielded every week. From
this some idea may be had of the pro-
duction from a single mining enter
prise adjacent to Prescott. The bar
on exhibition at the bank showed the
result of perfect milling. Its grade
was of very high percentage.

contemplate from the point of view oil
the consumer, for if any disaster should
visit one of the great fields and the
pumps be stopped for month or So a
vast number of industries depending
upon oil or the products from oil,
would be paralyzed. The fact is, that
the oil producers of California have
pursued a hand-to-mOuth policy that
would make old time oil men of the
eastern states. where they have mil
lions and millions of barrels above
ground as a reserve, stand aghast.
Before. however, the oil industry OF
California can be featured by a storage
reserve commensurate with its proper
tions, there will have to be a tremen-
dous increase in production, for the
consumption continues to gain by leaps
and bounds 1t is generally conceded
that the consumption for 1909 will be
in excess of 50,000 900 barrels. This addi-
tional production must of necessity
come from new development, particu-
larly of extensions of present produc-
ing fields or of promising prospective
territory, for OF course no increase of
production can be hoped for from the
older territory that has already pro-
duced so many millions of barrels of
oil

TWENTY PER CENT
COPPER OCCURS IN
BLACK HAWK LEDGE

GLOBE. Ariz., June 27.-The Ma
tional Mining and Exploration com
pany has sunk the new Williams shaft
fifty feet in iabase A hoist equipped
for 1900 feet will steam up today and
remain in operation until the shaft is
600 feet.
The new shaft is $50 feet southwest
of the Arizona Commercial Eureka
shaft and the outcrop extends to both
properties.
The compact on the ledge of the Ari-
zona Commercial on the 606-fOot level
proves the vein to trend thirty de-
grees north of east and the same south
of west, which proves that it was the
Black Hawk ledge encountered in the
old National shaft in the crosscut 500
feet north from the shaft.
The ledge drifted on at that point
proved the vein uniform fourteen feet
wide.
A car of ore taken as a test ship
ment averaged 12 per cent in copper.
The crosscut at that point being center
northeast and south that would in
dicate that the National has $500 feet
of the Black Hawk ledge. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars has
been expended on the 1000 feet of work
superintendent T. A. Woodward says
the working shaft will go down 100
feet a month, and the 600 feet cost

YUMA COMPANY EXPECTS

feet, showing ore from the footwall,

just how much sulphate ore there is.
There has been no change in the ore,

ing OF the carbonate ore, and it seems
it will make in the vein in the foot,
but will have to work couple of days

will be found in that drift in few
feet more.

Visible Copper Supply Abroad
Increases for Past Two Weeks

which can point to a working surplus
of less than this amount of material"
The increase in actual consumption
however. on this side, already effected
and further widely indicated warrants
the belief that no change has occurred
in the ultimate trend.
Amalgamated Copper has declined
with the rest of the market aided by
the added impulse of the overspecula-
ton in the metal market at London.
The report of the company also, for
the past year, showed reduced profits,
because of the relatively low price for
copper, and the expenses caused by
the flood at the Boston and Montana
smelter, which curtailed it's output for
five or six months, and reduced the net
earnings probably $1,000,000. For the
year Amalgamated shows only about
S2.S1 a share; the present net earnings
indicate probable net profit of S4 a
share. The gradual approach towards
the normal consumption of copper
which will take place as prosperity is
resumed, and the wider uses in cleo
trical equipment for railroads, VIII un-
doubtedly increase this estimate from
month to month.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-28

Hl HE foreign visible supply of copper
amounts now to over 139, 600 900
Il pounds, which is an increase of
100000 pounds in the supply during
the past two weeks. Many new copper
warrants have been issued on the other
side, and have entered into specula-
tion, the extra supply producing a
downward tendency; and on the
strength Of this prices of copper metal
have been shaded a little. The wis
ible" stocks in warehouses on the 1st
of June were 127 600 900 pounds, which
is the largest visible supply for many
years. There is estimated to be about
an equal amount in the hands of deal
ers abroad, so that the actual supply
on the other side of the water amounts
in the aggregate to 250,000,000 pounds.
This added to the nearly 100000, 900
pounds held in this country, would
give a worlds supply of 420, 900
pounds-equal to about 30 per cent of
the present annual American output.

Large as seems this total, it repre-
sents but fourteen weeks production,

GOLDFlELD MEN MAY START

NEVADA CITY, June 27.-M. e. Ish

field stock brokers, who arrived here
few days ago, will look over the min

establishing a stock exchange here for

and will carefully investigate con-

There are but few stock exchanges
in the west that have been a COM
plete success of late years." says Mr.
Ish. The Tonopah exchange was not a
success, and conditions must be right
to make it go. 1t is a big thing for
community, but before such an in

be sufficient demand for it, We are

NEVADA CITY, June 27.-According
to a message received over the tele-

employed in Allegheny $50 miners, re-
ceiving the regular wages paid ef-
ficient men at that camp. This is in
direct contradiction to statements that
have been made that the place is not
altogether profitable one for miners
The message said further that there
are few idle miners around Allegheny
at the present time, but that those
miners given employment must in adj
dition to being efficient, be known tc
be men of probity and strict integrity
before they can get employment in
the rich specimen-produeing properties

about 1900. Although there were
one or two little stoppages during the

SALISBURY WASH CLAIMS
ORE GOES 100000 A TON

GOLDFIELD, June 27.-An uncon-

cut being driven into the east side of
Mount Ellen, in the Salisbury Wash
district to cut the rich ledge, had al
ready disclosed the rich stuff, which,
so the story goes, pans 100000 to the
ton.
While these figures are not confirmed
yet it is not probable that the values
disclosed on the surface may be ex-
pected to hold out with depth.
Definite information concerning the
outlook is expected to reach the city
some time today.
