Two shifts are being worked under direction of Charley Miller.
 The work of driving the two drifts on the Haynes property is being con- tinued without interruption, but this came mighty near not being the case when the hoist cable parted a few days ago letting the immense new bucket bailer plunge down into the sump, where it took out two sets of timber. Superintendent Campbell nap pened to be at the mine when the accident occurred, and he got busy and soon had a pump on the ground and at work in time to keep the wat. CT from flooding the drifts and drlv- ing out the miners. Drifts are beIng run to diamond drill holes Nos 1 ald 9. One of these holes is 300 and the other 600 feet from the shaft.

ASSAYS SHOW THAT
 ORE IS QUITE GOOD

Assay returns have been received
 from the Quartz Reef claim of the Zero group of the late strike made on that property by John Queleco and associates, and the values given are decidedly satisfactory. From one pom. in the tunnel across two and one-haif feet of ore $70 per ton was given, with silver at 50 cents an ounce.
 In this ore body another sample WIS cut from four to twelve inches across that went to s170 per ton. These averages were taken from practically the surface workings on the ground, where the ore shoot was first stIucE, and the top of the zone was cut into, forming a wedge, with the small end up.
 MT. Quebec says that the returns were unexpected, and surprise was shown that such values should he iE existence at especially that point. tt in his belief that when this tunnel is run into the mountain further and gretater depth is reached on the veln, the showing will be a surprise. He will continue his work on plans out lined when he first started the work, and will not for the present endeavor to work the veing, desiring to ex- tensively develop the property be1Ors extensive production follows. Thus vein carries the ruby type of silver ore, and he has several sacks really for shipment,f some of the sssort- ment running to as high as $2O per sack.

BULLION RECEIPTS
 WERE VERY HEAVY
Trom Thursdays Daily,


 Yesterdays receipts in gold bullion in this city were heavy, and for a single day reached the maximum in amount for some weeks past. The first consignment was a fine bar that went in value to over $700 to the Bank of Arizona, and it will go to the mint. It was deposited by A. b. Barnhart, the assayer. The property that produced it was not given.
 At the Prescott National bank on shipment of a single bar that weighed 23O ounces from the Congress mine, was received, and another that regis tered 175 ounces from the Poland was also placed in the care of that bank ing house. With the Congress bar was a carload of high grade concentrates that was sent to thre Fl Paso smelter.
 In another line of gold receipts was the clean up of several placer miners, some of the shipments of this yield passing through mercantile channels, while the banking housese and the express company handled the remain der.
 A farmer coming into the city yes terday picked up a nugget on Lynx Creek that weight SIS. It was wash ed up from the bedrock by the ter rife rush of water in the recent storm that swept that section. The finder stated that he saw it lying on the bank, and was agreeably sur prised at his good fortune.
 Reports from the Arizona city field on Big Bug state that considerable aust is being taken from that new discovery, and several men are engag- ed in the work of plaeering. Up and down that old time stream several men are at work sluieing and rock ing, an abundance of water being available.
 Along the Hassayampa and at the Placerita guleh more men are at work placer mining at the present time than in years past, and some big nuggets are being found at the latter place.
 It is eonservatively estimated at the present time that the total receipts per month in this city of gold bull lion ana placer dust will run close to s75,0OO, several small shippers send ing in various sums, while the Con gress, Poland, the Griffin, and other mines, together with the tseady stream in auriferous methods will easily reach the above sum.

 The date now set for the arrival of all southern Arizona companies is Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock and the estimated strength of the com mand is over 800 men. They will break their camp Sunday afternoon, returning to their respective stations this evening. This will give them but eight days in the city.
 Colonel McClintock and staff will arrive Sunday morning, and with them will be several prominent resi- dents of the Capital City.
 Governor Sloan and many officials of the territory will also be in the city during the encampment week, which will make the coming mobiliza- tion of the militia one of the most noteworthy events ever to take place in that line.
 It is planned to have the entire gar rison bivouac one night in the pines near this city and Eugene Neuman has rendered the Idylwild tract as the site for this exercise.
 It is said to be the purpose of several citizens to ask the board of to donate the use of their new grading machine to level and i'm prove the grounds in the Tritle tfaet to be occupied by the eneampment, in order that some bad strips may be made easy of access to vehicles and automobiles, as well as for pedestrian uses. Recent rains have cut this tract considerably, while the roads leading to it are in need of repairs for wagons to pass over.

FOREIGNERS ARE PRE-
 TERED IS CLAIM

Clos Angeles Mining Review.)
 It will be generally admitted by the sleek and swollen beneficiary of high protective tariff that the history of the tin-plate industry gives a lumIn- ous example of the national benefits of the system. "American industries for American workingmen" is the slogan by which the banners of the stand-paters have been ruffled in the ballot box breeze, the worn-out bun eombe by which the laborer has been induced to disenfranehise himself with never-failing quadrennil regularity.
 But what are the real facts about tinf Read the following advertise ment, which appeared in the Pitts burg Post some weeks ago, and you may then understand what protection sometimes means to the American Uorkingman:
 Wanted-Tinners, eatchers and help CTS to work in open shops. Syrians, Poles and Roumanians preferred.
 And so, in a protected American industry, a profitable. subsidiary of the United States Steel, foreigners of the lowest intellect and citizenship are boldly openly welcomed to work, at starvation wages, that the benefieiar- ies of protection may grow fatter upon the tribute wrung from the higher priced American citizen who is barred from honest toll. The Syrian, the Pole or the Roumanian works for just enough to keep body and soul to- gether, because he has not yet learned the lesson of liberty and, what is more important still, he may be shot down with impunity when he learns his imperfect lesson and awakes to the realization that he is receiving less than he earns. Such conditions are seen today at MeKees Rocks, on the outskirts of that sordid, uuelean and trustridden black hole of indus trial iniquity and extremes on the banks ot the Aonongahela river.

MAYOR REQUESTED TO
 SELECT DELEGATES
From Thursdays Daily,

| Odllyl
 Mayor Morris Goldwater yesterday received the following letter regard ing the coming meeting of the Am eriean Mining congress:
 The Mayor, Prescott ,Ariz.
 Dear Sir:-The American Mining congress, which is the only organiz&- ton representing the great mining in terests, will hold it's twelfth annual session at Goldfield, New, Sept. 27 to Oct. 2, 1909.
 Mining is now an industry in whiek every section of this country is vitally interested, and its prosperity is the welfare of the nation. But in the production of it's two billions of min eral wealth each year, certain annoy ing problems arise, in the solution of which the American Mining congress is engaged. The loss of life among our wOrkmen is much greater than in other countries: We do not produce our minerals with the most possible economics, and in their utilization we permit enormous waste; in mine in speetion, sanitation, use of safety de vices, metallurgieal and treatment pro- eesses, etc, we rank below many for eign countries, and for assistance in these matters we are making the fed eral government to establish a bureau of mines.
 To assist in the discussion of these questions at our annual session, ths Mining congress invites the appoint ment of delegates by governors of states, commercial organizations, etc, and you are, therefore, cordially in vited to appoint delegates as per au- thority in official call Please per init us to urge the selection of dele gates at the earliest possible time, sending their names and addresses to us in order that they might be sup piled with the necessary advance in formation.
 Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter, we are, Very respectfully yours,
 WALTER A. KOCH,
 Assistant Secretary.

SENTENCE IMPOSED

 Mrs. Eva Mcdonald, who was found guilty last Friday of the demolition of Colonel Rogers home, was yester- day fined by Judge MeLane in the sum of s1sO, which she paid, saying that she expected just sentence of this kind. After the verdict of the jury was rendered last Saturday, she was taken seriously and suddenly i'll, and it was deemed advisable to have medical assistance. Yesterday, how ever, she recovered sufficiently, and appeared before this magistrate, re eeiving the fine as above stated Compared to the sum which the law set on the commission of the deed, and the actual loss in lounges, car pets, lace curtains and other house hold effects, the law is lighted so far as justice is to be considered, but the personal loss of the owner of the premises remains at the figure he placed, namely over s2O0.

RETURNS ARE GOOD
 IN JEROME SECTION

JEROME, Ariz., Sept. 7.-At the property of the Grand Island Cop per company shaft work is being con, tinued. The shaft is now down over 200 feet. Punches of high grade ore carrying the three precious minerals continue to be encountered. This property is located just south of the Iron King and Copper Chief mines, and is in a class with the best pros, poets along the Jerome copper belt. One of the most successfully han dled mining companies organized by Jerome people is the Jerome-Durango, a company organized for the purpose of developing a property located Tn Old Mexico. This company was or ganized only a few weeks ago, and without any brass band parades, of fered a block of 6O,OOO shares for sale to local people, at 10 cents ptr share, and in a few days the buyers had grown to over 100, a large ma jority of whom are Mexicans. The company now has money enough to carry on development work for long time as the mine is located at a point where labor is plentiful and very cheap. In fact the showing is now said to be so good on this gold prospect that it is thought that he present capital will place it where its production will not only pay for future development, but will make a dividend payer of it. The local of fees of the company are at the store of Alex H. Lyons, where samples of the ore can be seen. Following are the officers and directors of the com pany: Jose Maria B. Aros, president; Senolia Estrada, vice president; Frank Abbott, treasurer; Santiago Tesnado, secretary; Mas BarthoTdi and Alex H. Lyons. The capitalization is $1,000,- 900. Par value of shares $1.00 each. President Aros is at the mine where he has full charge, while Vice Presi- dent Estrada has charge of affairs here.
 President Hull continues to keep things moving at the Hull and Cleo patra properties. In the Hull work Tn .ne two drIIts is being continued with both giving indications of ore ahead.
 Stoping of ore and drifting IS be- ing continued. The ore body in the Cleopatra is proving of great size and richness. In fact it is increasing in size to a point far beyond expecta- tions.
 Work at the Little Daisy is being rushed ahead without interruption 'nd with satisfactory results to the own- CTS.

NEW ROAD PLANNED
 TO TOWN OF JEROME
From Wednesdays DanyJ

l From Wednesdays DailyJ
 Two of the most important road
 building projects to receive official
 consideration of late years in this
 county, were practically inaugurated
 yesterday by the board of supervisors
 of this county, and considered from
 the general standpoint of commercial
 advantage to the sections affected,
 will result in stimulating industrial
 development immeasurably.
 It is the purpose of the board to
 open traffic again to Jerome and it's
 immediate vicinity, to this city, and
 accordingly Councy Surveyor Lati-
 mer was authorized to run a line of survey from Prescott to that mining
 city. This he will do in a few days, and will probably start the work
 by next Monday. Practically the old county road line will be followed to where it reaches Yaeger Canyon. From that point onto Jerome, it is the purpose of the board to have the new road traverse the west side of this defle, and where the range of water spouts or heavy rains will not be able to reach it. Ground above the bed of the canyon will be follow ed, and after the saw mill hill is reached turn will be made at right angles, the projected route running to Walnut Springs, and, coming into the city of Jerome below the Mon tana Hotel.
 In selecting this route for the new roadway, one of the most objections ble features prevailing along the old highway will be obliterated, that of the long and steep graS of Smell ter Hill, that leads into the city at the plant of the United Verde. In winter months when wagon traffic prevailed on this thOroughfare, this point was one of the most dangerous and difficult to traverse. The farm CTS of the Upper Verde will find in the new highway a decided relief in their section being made available to find a near market in this city, and by the new route the distance will be reduced to practically one-half in 
 Another important matter that will probably be endorsed by the board is the building of new road from a point on the Crown King line near Goodwin to and through Pine Flat to Mayer. This route will run to sev- eral mines that are under operation, and the distance will be less than five miles. The desire of the promoters of this highway is to reach rapid means of communication, and the railroad is specifically mentioned as an objective point. In winter when the snows are deep in the Seator section, and when the summer rains take place and undermine the old | road bed, difficult conditions have prevailed to reach this city. By the route of the new highway all these features are reduced, | and as the projected road runs on ground, and the cost of building it will be nominal, it is prob able that it will be authorized in a l few days.

CLAIMS ARE BEING
 WORKED IN JEROME
(Jerome News.)

There are many promising mining claims in the Jerome district, and many of them near the city of Jer- ome, of which but little is known even to the oldest residents, end among the best of these are the Greenup and Green Flower claims, patented property owned by MT. A. Whitaker and the Nichols and Olden estates, and located just east of Jer- one, crossing what is known as the hogback at the point where the ceme- tery road joins the main.
 A ten minute walk from the post office will take you onto the claims, and if you have never looked them over you should take the walk, cs- pecially if you are interested in min ing. A News representative with Nr. Whitaker went over the ground nd found it very interesting in a mineral way. The development work to date consists of several cuts and tunneis, one tunnel being run into the hill 2S5 feet, attaining a depth of ilttle over 100 feet. We walked for over 800 feet over a conglomerate of hme, iron and copper ore, that averaged 50 feet in width, all of which, we aye told, averages over two per cent cop per. This deposit or ledge runs nor;h- east and southwest on the south Hde of the hill, about 200 feet from the top. The long tunnel runs for it's en- tire length of 285 feet through rock that carries copper, some of which runs high in that mineral, returns from a sample sent to Denver show ing a value of s27 per ton, s19 of which were copper values. Of curse this was not sample from the entire tunnel, but this grade of ore occurs in places all along the tunnel. At he face of the tunnel a station was cut and a winze sunk to a depth of 10 feet, all showing similar formation ss in the tunnel. All of the other work ings on the claims expose this con glomerate carrying values in copper. The claims were located 20 years ago by the late Prof. Olden and Wm. Nichols, and was, in the judgment of those pioneers, one of the best pieces of ground in the district It certainly looks good, and is certainly well worth prospecting. Besides the mineral snow ing the property is desirable for company because of its having been patented the owners being able to transfer the entire ownership. The property is in shape to be handled now.
 As announced in the News two weeks ago, work was started on the Mescal on Wednesday, September l. The sinking of a winze at the TOO foot station in the tunnel. At this point the tunnel attained a depth of TO feet. The ground here is heavily mineralized, hence the sinking pf the winze will be followed with great interest, there being every indication that it will expose a body of ore.
