GREAT RAILROAD.

CORDOVA, Alaska, Aug. -Four thousand men, working night and day, are making rapid progress in the construction of the Copper River and Northwestern railroad, ninety five miles of which is already in op- ,aration. When completed it will be leo miles long and will have cost twenty millions.
 The road now extends from Cor lova to the Copper River, and fer ries convey passengers to the road -on the other side, leading at the present time almost to the mouth of the Tasnuna river.
 Across the Copper river the com pany is building huge cantilever bridge, 1900 feet long, to cost a million dollars. Huge glaciers made zhe eantilever necessary.

COMMISSIONER BUY
 GRADING MACHINE
(From Wednesdays Daily )

Yesterday the board of supervisors purchased the road grading machine now at work on the Norris driveway near Prescott This was done after an inspection of its work on the grade in the foothills south of the city, where the ground was inspected by the board. and so favorably i'm pressed were these officials that it was finally decided to utilize tIe machine at several points in the county where read improvement on an extensive scale is to be made.
 The machine is equipped with at taehments that will permit of eco nomical road work, and is adapted generally to the road system of the county. It will dig a ditch, throw up crown, level the grade, or clear it as rapidly as any cOntrivanee in use. It is equipped with a shovel, will blow or penetrate any soil with a long blade. The machine can be handled at any angle desired by the operator on the wagon. From six to ten horses are required, the char acter of the earth to be handled reg ulating the horse power necessary.
 Large boulders cannot be readily removed. but ordinary ones give way to the implements used for this Pur- pose.
 It is the intention of the board to place the machine at work at near by points leading into the city. The hill, as it is commonly known, will probably be the first place selected for the working of the new grader. It is one of the most frequently travelled routes to the town. and ever since it was built has been com plained of more than any other high way.
 The rains of the past few weeks have materially damaged roads 70 the south of Prescott. and espeei- ally along Banning creek, where practically a new highway will be built. The machine will probably be used here and a higher route selected instead of traversing the creek bed, as formerly.
 At many other points near Pres colt the machine will be used, and when these necessary repairs are made, the more distant places will be reached and bad conditions improved.

NEW RAILROAD WILL OPEN LARGE
 DISTRICT
Coming of |Choo Choos' Eagerly Awaited
 By All
(From Saturdays Daiiy}

Notwithstanding the warm weather prevailing on the desert, where the Bouse and Swansea railroad is being built, grading continues uninterrupt- edly. Over nine miles of the grade
 is finished, and the same endeavOr to rush the work to completion prevails as in the beginning. Ten miles of steel is en route and in few days it is the purpose of the constructors to begin laying track. This will ma terially facilitate work at the front, where over 100 men and sixty head of animals are engaged.
 Aside from the Clara interests other companies adjacent to the bon anza company are anxiously awaiting the advent of the road, so as to re- eeive tde most economical freight facilities for the extensive operations that are outlined this fall. Follow ing the completion of this road, the general opinion of those conversant with the mineral life of that zone is that the greatest rush in the history of that region will begin. Several capitalists who are anxious to view the surrounding country. are al ready coming in, and express their willingness later to carefully inves- tigate.
 The Clara people have determined to install additional smelting capaei- ties at their plant at once, and will add a 5OO-ton furnace, giving them d a total capacity of 900 tons of ore daily. This move is due to the mag nifeent mineral conditions prevailing at depth on their ground, and when the railroad reaches Swansea the cost of installing the new mechan- ical addition will be greatly lessen ed. The force of miners employed at Swansea is maintained at 16O, but when the road reaches the place more will be put to work, it being the intention of the company to keep every department under a full head of steam, after this place is connected with the main line at Bouse.
 At surrounding points for many miles from Swansea the coming of the railroad is eagerly awaited, and extensive work is accordingly sus- pended until cheaper rates and mod ern methods of handling the yield is established

NORRIS DRIVE WILL
 BE OPENED SOON

Speaking in behalf of his efforts to construct and maintain the new highway around the hills to the south of this city, Hon. T. G. Nor ris. promoter and builder of this ex, eellent enterprise, states that after it is thrown open to the public, eer- tain rules and regulations will gov ern its use. While nothing definite as yet has been outlined, it is prob able that the automobile traffic will be confined to two days each week, and the other days given over to vehicle use. This determination is due to the possibility of avoiding ae- eidents, through the appearance of the autos at a time when this thor oughfare is being used by horses
 The highway is nearing compile tion, and those who have visited it recently commend the project and the spirit of the promoter. A fine pano- rama of the surrounding country is seen at all points as it winds arounl the hills for distance of six pr more miles, reaching in its serpen- tine course the most elevated points The road is now nearing completion. and much interest is shown by the public as to the date of its open ing

LAND DEPARTMENT MAY DETERMINE
 LOCATIONS
Officers to Have Full Authority to Pass
 Discoveries

From San Francisco comes the news that after four years of inves- tigation the interior department has decided that the officers of the United States land department have full authority to determine whether mining locations are based upon a bona fide discovery of mineral before the locator has applied for a patent.
 In 1905 State Mineralogist Au- brey received one hundred or more letters from mining men in Butte and Plumas counties, stating that H. H. Yard of the Western Pacific Rail road company had been filing blank ct locations over their claims and asking how they could protect them selves. Aubrey learned that Yard had covered with placer locations more than 265,OOO acres of the best timber land in the Plumas national forest along the line of the Western Pacific.
 Aubrey became suspicious that Yards purpose was to make a big haul of timber when the railroad was completed. He at once notified the land office.
 Although Yards locations were made to get the timber without re gard to the mineral or nOn-mineral character of the land, they in fact include some mineralized sections, and interfered with the operations of many legitimate miners whose un- patented claims were clouded by Yards 265.OOO acres of blankets.
 When the United States land of flee began to sit up and take notice of Yards locations. his attorneys contended that the government agents were without authority to de- termine the validity of these lOca- tions. Yard had not made appliea- tiOns for patents. Had this cOnten- tion been upheld doubtless all the timber would have been cut before this

COPPER OUTLOOK HAS
 A VERY ROSY HUE

Discussing, conditions in the copper market in New York the other day, John Stanton expressed with much positiveness the opinion that an early advance in the price of inc red metal is coming. He said:
 "The copper market at present ryi- dences greater strength than at any time I can recall during the last four months. There has been con siderable purchasing by domestic con sumers, but as the speculative el9- ment has been conspicuous by its ab- sence the buying has been quiet. l should say that an estimate of 50,- 100000 pounds sold to users of cop per within ten day would be con servative.
 Undoubtedly the better demand for the metal comes from an imprOv- ed business situation. Consumers who purchased 450,OOO pounds at a time six months ago are now buying in some instances as much as twice the amount. and manufacturers who bought 75O,OOO pounds three months ago are now buying on a 100000 pound basis. Even at that the metal sold will not carry them beyond Sep tember, and in another month they will be in the market again. The quieting down of the situation abroad stiffened the market considerably, and there are indications that there are deliveries into consumption of considerable volume on the other side, which, of course, will be re- ieeted in diminished foreign stocks.
 "Here the improvement comes from the better demand of the brass and electric companies, automobile manu- facturers and the building trades. Copper is bound to follow the inn provement in the steel industry, which inclines me to the opinion that we will see the metal al l5 cents before January l. Quotations at below 131a cents for lake at the present time come from sellers with odd lots. A demand for a pound lot would be extremely hard to fill at even a share under that quotation, and the prospects for better prices in the near future are extremely good.

BIG COMPANIES TO
 ELIMINATE FOREIGNERS

Joseph B. Morrison, well known Bisbee attorney and prominent in Republican politics in Cochise coun- ty, gave out an important statement in Tucson, involving the financial sit nation at Bisbee and the prospects for the future in the prosperous camp of the Copper Queen and C. & 4. company. Mir. Morrison said:
 "A tangible solution to what, in comparison to several years ago, was considered a depression in the inan- cial situation at Bisbee is at hand. It is the elimination of a great per cent of foreign labor. The big com panies in the district are increas- ing their forces gradually and in some instances quite rapidly and the rank and file of the miners, muck CTS and other mine employees is to a great extent American.
 "When the panic struck us many months ago, it was necessary for the company to curtail operations in conformity with the demands of rhe metal market. At that time, large numbers of foreigners were dismissed from the employ of the companies. These man are now being replaced as the companies increase operations and American labor. in the main, is being hired.
 "As a result of this move on the part of the companies, a decided change in financial conditions is all ready noticeable. The large payrolls of the companies are increasing monthly, and this great volume of money. with American workers in the camp, will be invested at home. With the camp filled with foreign labor. many thousands of dollars are sent to the old country every month. In fact the foreigner keeps barely enough money in this country to get along on- This condition is rapidly being changed and Bisbee is gradually climbing to the pinnacle of prosperity.''

SHANNON BUYS THE BLUE SLATE AT
 BOUSE
Scott Mines Also A Buyer---Large Sum
 Involved

PHOENIX. Ariz., Aug. 6.-The shannon Copper company has pur- chased the Blue State group at Bouse, formerly owned by Thomas BOuse, and Robert McMahon, paying in the neighborhood of S1OO.O0O for them. There are seven claims. partially de- veloPed, comprising 140 acres, carry ing high values in both gold and copper. A camp will be laid out this week and men put to work. Follow ing their usual custom. the Shannon people will explore this group thor Oughly; the present shaft to be sunk 800 feet, and several others put down the same distance
 Another deal of importance was the purchase of the Heart s Desire of ten claims, twelve miles south of Bouse, by the Scott Mines company of Salt Lake City The consignment was around $15O,OOO, and a large sum will be spent in developing the prop critics. Interested in the Scott are F. Augustus Heinze and T. A. Shy der, the packing magnate.
 A triple compartment shaft will be sunk and a ffty-horse power gaso- line hoist installed to sink 800 feet. Work will be under the direction of c. P. Warden, for years Heinze's sup erintendent at Butte and Bingham.

OLD MINE IS SOON ID BE WORKED
 AGAIN
Company Organized To Developthe Wire Gold
 District

It will be interesting to pioneer miners of this section to learn that the old Wire Gold mine, situated in Verde district. and about twelve miles from Cherry Creek, is to be worked on an extensive scale in tits near future. After an examination of the ground, followed with a test run at the old five stamp mill, Mir. Lamb, representing a strong financial firm in Oklahoma, will form a com pany and take it over. From this run a bar of fine gold. valued at over $2OO. was brought to the Bank of Arizona yesterday. MT. Lamb is very enthusiastic over the property, saying that after he returns from a short trip to the property he will leave for Oklahoma, where an in corporation will be formed, and work started and prosecuted on a perm anent basis.
 This property has practically been abandoned for nearly twenty years, and nothing outside of development work has been done except occasion ally by leasers. It was originally io- cated and worked by the late Alex Harris, who erected an arastra to crush its product. Later when it changed hands a crude mill was placed on it, and from this treating of the ores considerable values were received. From one it went to an other. and not until recently was it reopened and worked. It is a free milling proposition, and no exten- sive depth is shown. In the early days it was regarded as the richest piece of mining ground in this ee- tion. Recent work has demonstrated that it is still an attractive property, and the yield given a few days ago has added materially to its rating. The new company will get it to work at the earliest date possible, and a force of six men will go out at once.

CREEK VERY ACTIVE JUST
 NOW
Work Going on And Many Improvements
 Planned

Groom Creek, but seven miles south of Prescott, is active. and more mine work is going on than for several years past. Noteworthy among the operations are the following:
 At the Gold Basin mine work is progressing under satisfactory eOndi- tiOns, Messrs. Linn and Green hay ing an option on this property. Mir. Green is at present in Seattle, and is due to reach this city early next week with a party of capitalists, who come to take the mine over under purchase, and to extensively develop the ground. This property belongs to the estate of the late NJ. H. Dodge, and is opened by a shaft 300 feet deep. with 800 feet of levels and 15O feet of an ore shoot. A five stamp mill is on the ground, and everything is in readiness to begin development and production.
 At the Mirable mine force of four men are at work and the show ing is said to be the best ever un- covered in the property. A raise made from the $50 foot level to the surface for a distance of 130 feet, cut into two fine ore shoots, one running to $52 per ton in free on the lower level, while a sulphide body was struck higher up. The leasers have about 100 tons of high grade ore on the dump of an Oxidized and sulphide character. They feel en- thusiastie over the recent work.
 It seems to be practically settled that work is to be immediately re stunned on the well known Midnight Test, MT. Allstead, identified with this group, being a recent arrival from the east, for the purpose of starting it up. It is also reported in this connection that negotiations are going on for the purchase of the old Home Run mill, situated further down the creek, which will be util- ized to reduce the product.
 T. J. Laird reached the city yes terday with a large amount of sam pies taken from the claims owned by him and Robert Brow. They were taken from claim that is be- ing worked by MT. Laird, situated near the Pacific group.
 Chas. A. Behm of the Spruce Noun tain Mining company, while in Pres eott, yesterday, gave an interesting account of the conditions prevailing around the many camps. He says that at his property crosseutting work is going on, with good results. He feels very enthusiastic over the gen eral appearance of the work. Mir. Behm has been identified with the | above group for many years.
 The Eekert brothers and Grant | Bennett are reported to be making a good showing on their property, | and are making regular shipments to R. II. Hetherington of this city. | They are also making good wages | in their efforts to develop the mine and will continue to operate to great CT depth, when the placing of ma chinery will be considered.
 The line of the Arizona Power com pany passes down the creek in close | proximity to all claims, and several are awaiting its coming who are equipped with machinery, that will be run by electricity.
