VONTRlGGER ELECTRO
CHEMICAL PLANT IS
NEARING COMPLETION

A. H Cram, president of the Califor-
mia Gold and Copper company of Non-
trigger, returned from the mine last
week. He brings back encouraging re-
ports on the progress of the new mill.
There are at present eleven carpen-
tiers at work on the mill, which is being
rushed to completion. and is expected to
be in operation by August l.
Mr.. Cram has ordered another carload
of lumber also another consignment of
cement amounting to $4,000 pounds.
This material will be shipped immedi-
ately to be used in the erection of the
plant.
The main building of the plant is
fifty feet wide and eighty feet long.
This building covers the automatic
mixers and grinders, and the teaching
tanks. The engine room, which joins
the main building, measures 30x50 feet.
This process for treating copper ores
is said to be the most inexpensive
known at the present time. 1t not only
extracts the copper at low cost, but
extracts the copper from the ore chem
ically pure. The process can be made
of any desired capacity. By this meth
cd of extraction all low grade PROPOSE
tons can be worked at a profit.

PLACER STRIKE IN BLACK GAP
CAUSES EXCITEMENT AT Bls6EE

BISBEE. June 20.-There is now
placer gold excitement in Bisbee, the
first one in some time, and as result
a number of men who are wise TO the
situation have gone into the upper san
Pedro valley, southeast of Black Gap
from the Country club house, and
large area of land is being located.
Samples of the placer gold have been
brought to town within the past FEW
days and it has been demonstrated
that in places the ground is going $2O
and better a yard.
Sam Inge and George Pemberton
made the first locations several weeks
ago and since that time have been
prospecting the ground In two gulches
they found pay dirt of great value.
They have been quietly working on
their ground and have demonstrated
that they have discovered what prom
ises to be a wonderfully rich placer
mine.
Inge and his partner have altogether
seventeen claims, four of which are To-
Gated and thirteen bonded from the
original locators, one of these claims
being on Ben Franks ranch and there
is a splendid well of water on 1t that
can be used in working the ground.
Neither Inge nor Pemberton told any
one of the big discovery. but In some
way their secret leaked 80 and num-
Der of those VINO nedTQ T Ine SOlu llHu
quietly slipped out into the country
and took up claims near where Inge
and Pemberton's ground is located.
A number of samples have been taken
and in one pan $50 colors were washed
out. The gold is bright and some of it
coarse and can easily be saved. One
of the parties who has seen the ground
is familiar with placer mining and eX-
poets to get a dry washing machine on
the ground as soon as possible, as he is
confident that he can make big money
by running the gravel through this
machine.
Those who have found out about
this discovery made within short
distance of Bisbee are very much ex-
cited and it is now suspected there will
be rush of locators this week to the
scene of this find There is still con-
siderable ground open for location that
is believed to be gold bearing.
Placer gold is nothing new in this
district Gold gulch has been worked
for many years after every rainy sea-
son and in some instances nuggets
worth as high as S. have been found.
This ground has been worked by the
crudest methods and no organized eff
fort has ever been made in or near
Gold gulch. The discovery of placer
field extending over a large area anG
having bars which are showing high
values to the yard promises to bring
about the greatest mining excitement in
this community's history.

GLOBE, Ariz., June 20.-With nearly
IA 900 900 tons of ore blocked out, pre-
parations are well under way for the
erection of an extensive milling plant on
the property of the Miami Copper COM
pany near this city.
According to the plans of the COM
pany, which have been outlined by
Vice President j. Park Claiming, now
in this city. preliminary preparations
will be made for a 3000-ton mill, al
though machinery capable of handling
only 1000 tons will be installed in the
immediate future. One-half of this
machinery will be put in place within
the next few months, the balance after
the test run of six months.
Active work on the mill will begin in
about two months, by which time an
extension of the ella Valley, Globe &
Northern railway will have been COM
pleted from Globe into the camp Struc-

cry have already been ordered and will
be on hand when needed.

DOS ESTRELLAS PEOPLE
WILL INSTALL TURBINE
Company Expects to Become lnde-
pendent of Outside Interests
by New Venture

MONTEREY, Mexico, June 20.-The
Dos Estrellas Mining company at El
AFRO is contemplating the installment
of an immense steam turbine plant for
the working it's mines. This company
formerly used the power coming from
the hydro-electric plant at Necaxa
dam in shape, it has been deemed ad-
visable by the company to install a
steam turbine plant. The Dos Estrel-
las company expects to install a plant
that will take care of all the workings
for some time to come and 1t is thought
the steam turbine system is most prac-
teal.
1t is said that the machinery for the
new plant will be ordered within the
next thirty days and that the plans
for the plant are practically complet-
ed by the engineers in charge. With
the installation of this plant the Dos
Estrellas people will have one of the
best plants in that section of the
country and Furthermore they will be
entirely independent of any power
company.
The Dos Estrellas mines are among
the best mines in that district and
with the new plant besides some other
changes that will be made in equip
ment this mine will be one of the
most up-to-date mines In the country.
