CLIMAX STRIKE RUNS
$500 IN GOLD A TON;
MILL WILL WORK ORE

PRESCOTT, Aug. 8.-News of an i'm
portant strike in the Climax mine has
been confirmed here by w. C. Hanson,
one of the contractors on that prop
erty. He says that an eight-inch
streak of ore was recently uncovered
on that property sampling over $500 in
gold to the ton.
The find was made in No. tunnel,
which is now in about 900 feet, 800 feet
below the apex of the vein. The rich
ore was uncovered by F. f. Yockey
while driving the tunnel ahead by con-
tract The ten stamp mill on the Has
sayampa river Immediately below the
mine is being repaired preparatory to
a run on several hundred tons of ore
now on the dump.
No. tunnel is being driven ahead
under contract by w. c. Hanson and
is now in 400 feet, with a promising
ore showing in the face.
The mine is said to be the oldest
quartz location made by a white man
north of the Gila river. G. B. Genung
located it in the early SOS and recoY-
cred thousands of dollars in gold from
the surface ores, using the barrel of a
shotgun as a retort.
The management of the Climax Min
ing company expects the mint to yield
handsome returns with modern meth
DDS of treatment.
The property is located fourteen
miles southwest of Prescott.

PATRICK CLARK BEGINS
WORK IN coRTEZ DISTRICT

GOLDFIELD, Aug. S.-Patsy Clark
of Montana has begun operations in Ne
vada in the famous Cortez mining dis
trict.
J. ]. Stewart, private secretary for
Patsy Clark in Clark's offices on Wall
street, New York, in speaking or
Clark's investments in Nevada, said:
1.-THE Cortez mining district is one of
the oldest districts in the west, but was
worked for silver when transportation
facilities were very bad and was finally
deserted. The old Cortez mine has a
record for producing more than $30,000,-
900 in silver, and was owned by San
Francisco capitalists. 1t was finally
apparently worked out and was de-
serted. Tho silver belt lies to the west
of the gold belt and the latter was
entirely overlooked by the pioneers of
Cortez when the silver ledges were
being worked. Now this belt has been
opened up and promises to make Cortez
bonanza camp with a large popula-
tion.
PATSY Clark has long been endeavor-
ing to secure a foothold in this section,
and his representatives. have finally
succeeded in locating a new gold belt
in Mill canyon, which is situated in the
Cortez mining district in Eureka
county.
"The new camp is reached by the way
of Beowawe, on the main line of the
Southern Pacific and is about thirty
three miles from that point to the
southeast, The Dean ranch is nine
miles from the canyon and supplies can
be obtained there for the camp.
"Clark's engineer and assayer, with
a crew of thirty-fve men, are now in
the district, and the work of developing
the mines is being rushed"

SECOND BILL WILLIAMS
SALE TOTALS $4,000

WICKENBURG Aug. S.--A deal in
Volving $4,000 has just been completed
whereby e. c. Rogers & Son, cattle and
mining men operating in the Bill Will
liams country, sell a group of claims
lying between the Dixie Queen and
the Rawhide properties, to Lyman &
Co. of Los Angeles, the latter firm rep
resenting eastern people.
This is the second big deal put
through in the Bill Williams country
this month. The first took place in the
early part of the month, in which
Messrs. Cowall and Holden sold the
Dixie Queen to a group of eastern cap
italsts. Messrs. Cowell and Holden
are about to complete another big deal.
this time in the Sunset district, with
the Guggenheim interests.
The property consists of thirty-five
claims containing a large amount Of
ore which is used in the manufacture
of cast iron. IL. p. Wherry of Mich
igan. representing the Guggenheim in
terests, was here to look into the mer-
it's Of the property few days ago. A.
S. Maynard, president of the Lower
California Gold Dredging Extension
company of Los Angeles. is acting as
broker in the deal which, if it goes
through, will involve a large amount
of cash.

GIGANTIC MINES
MAY Be MERGED
RUMOR UNlTES CANANEA AND
COPPER QUEEN
PHELPsaDODGE WILL BUILD AND
OPERATE RAILROADS
Combination with Rock Island Pro-
poses to Rival Hartman Southern
Lines by Series OF Railroads
to Coast

BISBEE, Ariz, Aug. 8.-According
to rumOr the Copper queen and Can
anea concerns will consolidate and DR..
Ricketts,, present general manager OF
the Cananea company, will become the
head Of the new consolidation. The re-
port, however, lacks any official con-
firmation.
The Phelps-Dodge company, it is
said, will go to the railroading bust
ness exclusively. In combination with
the Rock Island, these two mammoth
interests propose building great rival
system to the Hartman southern lines.
Much comment has been caused by the
recent enlargement of the capital stock
of the Ell Paso & Southwestern from
s17,5O0,00O to $25,O00000, and the gen
eral opinion is that the increase had
much to DO with the eventual extern
sion of the Ell Paso & Southwestern
as the link between the Rock Island
terminal at Tucumcari N. NJ, and the
eastern terminal of the Spreckels line,
now building with all haste from san
Diego.
The James family holds complete
control of the stock of the phelps
Dodge company while the Douglas
family holds about 10 per cent own
ership in the company. 1t is now pay
ing dividends at the rate of $40 share
per. annum in quarterly payments OF
$3.50 a snare, ana earning SeILS maj
gin above that figure
The Phelps-Dodge people have large
interests in mining and railroads IN
the southwest, which are now in the
new company, including the Ell Paso
& Southwestern system of railroads,
which is controlled by the James
family.
Young James pays more attention
to the railroad end of the business
than to the copper end, Professor
James Douglas being the copper man
of the company. Young James Doug
las. who has been in charge of the
Moctezuma property at Nacozari, left
the employ of the Phelps Dodge Co
last May and is now in business for
himself. In addition to an ownership
of 100000 shares of Old Dominion out
of 294,OOO outstanding shares, the
Phelps Dodge people own the Indiana
and Sonora property in Cananea, and
the Commercial property in Phoenix
Ariz., but these two properties nave
never returned profits, though Profess
sor Douglas has great faith that they
will in time develop into lmportan'
producers. Professor Douglas is par
! ticularly strong in his opinion of tn
United Globe which Is a part OF th'
! Old Dominion.
While the reported consolidation o.
the Phelps-Dodge copper properties
with the Cole-Ryan holdings is very
plausible, it may be doubted whether
the transaction has yet advanced very
far. at least, until more authentic In
formation is forthcoming.

HoATSoN SHAFT OF S. &P.
SURPRISES MANAGEMENT

BISBEE, Aug. S.-The excellent re-
suits being obtained at the Superior &
Pittsburg workings, which excited so
much favorable comment the country
over some three weeks ago, are con-
tinuing uninterruptedy and in addi-
tion to this other favorable develop
ments have occurred more recently in
two of the shafts at least
Perhaps the most noticeable deVel-
opment results recently obtained are
those in the Hoatson shaft. Here the
most of the exploration work has been
on the 1900 level and a new country
has been opened up in pushing on to-
ward the Briggs shaft. Working on
this level and pushing in this direc-
ton an ore body was recently encoun-
tered just off the main drift and this
body is now being explored and de-
veloped for the purpose of ascertaining
it's extent.
The encountering of this body here
was especially pleasing to the man
tinuance of good ore in previously un-
explored parts of the property.
At the Junction shaft work is pro-
crossing in exploring the recent finds
of the 1400 and 1900 levels, the deep
workings of the mine From this ex-
plorations good results are being OBJ
tanned, and conditions in the Junction
are highly pleasing to the manage
ment.
One of the most important features
of Superior & Pittsburg development
work for several months past, and the
same may be said of the Calumet &
Arizona and Copper Queen develop
ment work. has been this exploration
for depth in the lower levels, and this
has proven quite satisfactory, show
ing a continuance of good ore bodies
to the greatest depth which has yet
been reached.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-09

n OUGLAS, Aug. S.-There is per-
haps no better indication of the
- proftableness of mining in the
Republic of Mexico than the records
of dividends that have been paid by
its mining companies. For years back,
with the exception of the past two,
profit sharing has been on large
scale. There are a great many prop
critics in Mexico paying large divi-
dends, but which are being operated
as close corporations which will give
no information to the public. The
Mining World, from reports made to
it, is able to show that thirty-seven
companies to date have paid to share
holders $57,307, ,432 in dividends, re-
turn equivalent to sc per cent on their
outstanding capitalization of $S9, 100, 662.
BY far the larger dividends are being
distributed by corporations that are
still doing business under the old Mex
lean custom, namely, of capitalizing
at so many shares, not dollars, their

REPORT COMMENDS
RAY CONSOLIDATED
EXPERTS BELIEVE IT GREAT
LOW GRADE PROPERTY
Forty Million Tons of Ore Are in Re-
serve on Ground Comprising
1000 Acres Adjoining
Kelvin

PRESCOTT, Aug. 8.-The following
extracts are taken from report on
the property of the Ray Consolidated
by experts representing Trippe, Thomp-
son & Co. of New York, and serve to
show in a meager way the immensity
of probably the most enormous low
grade copper property in the world.
The Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany may be classed as one of the
largest of the low grade so-called por-
phyry copper mines in the United
States. Although the property is not
producing it has long since passed out
of the prospective stage and has at the
present time approximately 40,00O,0OO
tons of ore in the developed and pro-
bable reserves.
The property, which comprises about
1000 acres of mining ground, is situated
at Ray, Aniz. The mine is connected
with the town of Kelvin where the
mill is located, by the company's mar
row gauge railway six miles in length.
The transportation problem is not II
bad one when compared with most of
the large concentrating properties, in
that the haul is short and the slight
gradient is in the direction of the road.
Surveyors at the present time are at
work on a broad gauge location which
is practically identical with the old
route.
Covers Width of Belt
The ground of the Ray Consolidated
is so located as to cover practically the
entire width of belt of altered schist
and granite porphyry. The total length
of the mineralized area along its strike
is approximately two and a half miles
and at it's western boundary, which ad-
at, Io
iver a mile in width. The ore occurs as
chalcocite finally disseminated or in
seams interlacing through the schist
The loaded zone varies from 70 to 40
feet deep and the average is 217 feet.
This grades suddenly into the second
airy ores, which average slightly over
100 feet in thickness.
The present company began active
development about two years ago and
since that time the workings have been
greatly extended, shafts sunk and
vigorous drilling campaign inaugural
ed, which has resulted in developing
large ore reserves. In addition to the
drill holes the property has been opened
by seven tunnels and eight shafts. OF
the latter the Ray and Sharkey are the
most important.
The blocked out ore which amounts
to approximately 100000 tons averag-
ing 2.3 per cent copper, has been di-
vided into six groups, and the average
thickness is 100 feet.
The limits of the ore have not yet
been determined in any of the groups
and the total area Of commercial ore is
being continually increased. In addi-
tion to the 21 900 900 tons of developed
ore Henry Krumb estimates that there
are $4,000 900 tons of partially developed
ore, making a total of 40000,OOO tons

SENSATIONAL STRIKE
ON MANHATTAN DEXTER
PANS $500 TO THE TON

MANHATTAN, Aug. S.-A strike of
sensational proportions has just been
made on the Bath lease on the Union
No. g owned by the Manhattan Dex-
ter company. The shaft is so feet deep
and II feet in the drift from the 30-foot
level a 2-inch streak of ore was en-
countered that will run into the thou
sands a ton. The rock Is "lousy with
gold" and is among the richest ever
struck in the Litigation hill section.
At the 50-foot level what appears to
be a continuation of the rich shoot was
struck 16 feet in from the shaft, where
it has widened to inches and gives
paintings ranging from $3.50 to 5000 a
ton clear across its width.

Ell TEM5LoR PREPARES
TO MAKE SHIPMENT

BISBEE, Aug. 8.-N. D. Shippy, who
with James Taylor owns the Ell Tenn
blor mine in the El Tigre district in
Sonora, says the third shipment of ore
from this property is ready to come
out just as soon as it can be packed
to the railroad. A pack train is now
en- route to the mine. Heavy rains
made the river impossible for time,
but it is expected that the ore can be
crossed by the time it reaches that
stream.
The ore shipped in the past from
the FL Temblor has yielded values of
$3.50 to $400 ton and the present ship
ment of about six tons will average
fully that high. Work has been sus-
pended on the property because of the
flooding of the winze from which the
ore is being extracted. There has been
a deal pending for this property re-
Gently, but experts who went to test
it were unable to perform that duty
because of the flooded condition of the
winze
