OLD VU[TURE MINE
 AGAIN PRODUCING
TEN STAMPS OF THE BIG MILL
 ARE NOW WORKING.
Plans of the New Owenrs Are to De-
 velop the Property on a Large Scale.

l. M. Taylor, of the firm of I. M Taylor & Company of Boston, brok- CTS, was in Phoenix yesterday, coming here from the Vulture mine in which he has become interested, as a lieu tenant for the group of capitalists which recently bought the property He brings most flattering reports from the mine itself and for its future, as the new owners, he says, have bought and paid for the property, have fi- nanced 1t and have ample funds for its proper exploitation. The property he says, was bought from MT. Love and his associates forming the group of Chicago owners, George E. Sanders having failed to make good on the op- ton held by his company or in get ting a title by the legal proceedings that were in the Arizona courts so long. The present situation, he says, is the entire elimination of Sanders and his friends and is a new project designed to work the property on it's merits. Not only that but it is work ing the property now and has been since the first of September in an ex-
 
 mill having been put in commission some time ago. MT. Taylor's mission here was chiefly one of inspection and he goes from here to Los Angeles. where he will buy an automobile for the use of the company officials be- tween the Vulture and Wickenburg, the nearest railroad station.
 The office of the new company is in Boston, though the men who have financed it and are most heavily con- cerned in the property are mainly Canadians. Among them is Hon. Robert Mackay of Montreal, a mem Der of the Dominion senate, director of the Bank of Montreal, the Royal Trust company and the Canadian Pa cific railway, the Canadian Bell Tele- phone company and president of the Shawinigan Power company. Angus Mackay. who accompanied MT. Taylor to Phoenix, is a brother and is the manager of the cOmpany-s interests at Vulture.
 Frederick w. Rockwell of Albany and F. c. F'risbie of Hartford, Conn, are also well known financiers inter ested in the company. A R. Mackay and w. S. Hutchinson are the engi- neers, both practical men and gradu- ates of the best technical schools. The mine superintendent Is Robert Johns, formerly with the King of Arizona
 About forty-five men are now em- ployed at the mine. Ten stamps of the old mill have been put in repair and are being operated regularly, not so much for the actual product of the small plant as to determine the char acter and value of the ores, previous to the construction of a large perma- nent operating plant. The mine is be- ing worked on the lower levels and recently a fine body of ore was ex- posed that has not yet been defined by the walls, though its width is known to be at least thirty feet.
 The plans of the company have been made on a large scale and it is pro- posed to develop a water supply by deep wells if that be feasible. or the building of a pipe line from the Has sayampa river, if it be necessary, that having been the water supply in the palmy days of the old Vulture. At present the water supply is merely that in the bottom of the deeper shafts and though limited 1t seems to be ample for present necessities. The in
