PAYS BOND AND ACQUIRES
MORE BUNKER HILL CLAIMS
Option on TayIor-keigeI Group lndi-
Gates Greater Activity for Cop
per Creek People

TUCSON. Ariz., Aug. 22.-That S.
Roy Sibley has faith in the future of
the Bunker Hill district is clearly dem
onstrated, it is pointed out. by his ac-
tlon last week, when he came to this
city and paid up in full the amount of
his bond for the purchase of the six
claims he recently acquired from John
Scanlan, and this in spite of the fact
that his next payment on the mines
was not due for six months yet.
Still more significant, even, is the
additional fact that Sibley took op-
tions on five other claims owned by
Ed Taylor and August Keigel in the
same district Taylor and Keigel were
here to close the deal with him.
The payment made by Mr.. Sibley
wipes out the original purchase price
of $780, 900 for the Seaman claim, six in
number, in the Bunker Hill district,
which Sibley declares is destined to be-
come one of the best propositions IN
this section of the country.
1t is further pointed out that Sib-
ley's acquisition of options on five
other claims in that district tends to
show that he feels perfectly assured
of his ground, and that he intends to
operate on a still more extensive scale
the properties of the Copper Creek
mining company.

LEAD.SlLVER
VEIN CUT IN D. & c. MINE

PRESCOTT, Aug. 22.-Eight or ten
inches of lead-silver ore, running high
in silver was encountered a few days
ago in the 200-foot tunnel on the Doran
& Gallagher at a vertical depth Of
about forty feet.
The tunnel is an old one that takes
southerly direction, and its face
in which the strike was made-is fifty
or sixty feet east of the 120-foot shaft
What appeared to be a wall had cut
off the ore in this tunnel and work
there had been abandoned by the own
ers a long time ago. Last week Cross
& Larrieu concluded that they would
put a few shots in the wall and see
what was behind it. Their curiosity
was rewarded in the foregoing manner.
The work of driving the north cross
cut from the bottom of the 120-foot
shaft is also proceeding, and it is now
about eight feet in length. Lime spar
and white iron, with occasional values
of perhaps 2 or 8 per cent in copper
sulphides, appear in thin seams in the
formation, which is porphyry Else
where the porphyry is like that encoun-
tered in the shaft-mineralized slightly.
1t is expected that the east-west ledge
will be broken into in few days, and
then good ore is expected.
Work is now proceeding in both tun-
nels, and the groups future seems
brighter at the present time than ever
before

COLORADO CAPITALISTS
BUY IN COPPER CANYON

SEARCHLIGHT, Aug. 22.-William
Family, representing a clique of Col
orado capitalists, purchased the Copper
Prince group of mines last week The
purchase price was $4,000, of which
$4,000 was paid over at the time of sign
ing the papers, the balance of $1,000 to
be forthcoming ninety days from date.
The former owners of the property
were D. j. Callahan and Clark Alvord
and one of them will probably be re-
tanned to take charge of the operations
The Copper Prince, comprising two
claims. is located in Copper canyon,
Eldorado a short distance above Nell
son. Being directly on the main road,
the property is familiar to all who have
ever visited the district. The more so
as the showing is somewhat spectacu-
lar. Cut by the canyon, the minerali-
zation is the better part of hundred
feet in width, being a fissure in syenite.
All through the ledge are countless
gaudy colored seams and stringers Of
copper. Values vary but one late sam
pling is reported to have returned 26
per cent copper, Is ounces in silver and
$40 in gold.

BISBEE-SONORA EXPECTS
TO CUT LEDGE AT DEPTH

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 22.-Interest-
ing news is expected most any day con-
cerning the operations of the Bisbee-
Sonora Mining company's property, one
of the promising holdings in the
Chiricahuas, looked upon as future
rich district for the production of cop
per in Arizona by some, and with en-
tire disfavor by others.
Some time ago the miners in the Bis
bee-Sonora mine cut ledge of ore
breaking rock. The mine is located
high upon the mountain, and it was be-
lieved that running expenses could be
largely reduced by tunneling from a
point 1000 feet down the mountain side,
this tunnel to be driven so that 1t
would crosscut the ledge already dis
covered. This tunnel is now driving
and it is thought that before long the
discovered ledge will be run into, While
at the same time there are indications
that other bodies may be cut through
on the way. Little has been heard of
the property or it's development work
of late.
The ore struck so far is peacock, and
some pretty samples have been eX-
tracted. The property is parallelled on
one side by the Manhattan group OF
claims and on the other by the group
known as the Sullivan.

OCTAVE MINE SHUTS
DOWN; NEW PLANT
WILL BE INSTALLED

n RESCOTT, Aug. 22.-Work has been
temporarily stopped on the Octave
n mine and also on the plant of the
Central Arizona Power company, sub
sidiary company, due to required alter
ations in machinery and the installing
of new equi ament. The suspension was
decided upon some time ago, when ex-
tensive plans were originally outlined
and which it is desired to carry out
economical operations and on a basis of
permanency when the plant is again
started.
Many important changes are to be
considered in the mechanical depart
ment of both the octave mine and the
Central. Arizona electrical service, af-
fecting the reduction facilities of the
former, and to perfect them is now the
intention of the management. Several
departments of the Octave company
have recently been tested with the cleo
trical power of the Central Arizona
company, and the service has been
proved satisfactory, several drills being
worked as we'll as the hosting appara-
tus tested.
c. e. Niesse, president, is authority
for the statement that operations will
be resumed as soon as these repairs are
made, and the same will apply to the
electrical end at Wtckenburg, which
gives a defective service.
Mine work is said to have terminated
satisfactorily of late, but owing to the
antiquatted character of the machinery
at many points on the surface, includ-
ing the pipe line that will not carry
water, it has been decided to overhaul
practically all the surface equipment.

MINES ON THE CANADIAN
SHIP TO EL PASO SMELTER

TUCUMCARI, \. NJ, Aug. 22.-The
rush to the gold fields on the
Canadian continues undated, and
many skeptics are beginning to believe
that there is something in it after all.
Ore is being taken out rapidly, the
owners of the Twin Canyon mines max
ing arrangements to ship the first car
of ore to El Paso in about ten days.
w. D. Forester one of the owners,
says they had taken out enough ore
in one day to pay the expense incurred
by their outfit during the ten days they
were awaiting the shipment of their
tools and machinery from Chicago.
f. Martinez, another of the Twin
Canyon mine owners, refused an offer
of $4,000 for his claim, made by Colo
rado mine owner. Martinez has taken
out several hundred pounds of fine sill
Yer ore, which he has piled up await
ing the coming of the projected spur
of the Rock Island railroad from Logan,
when he win ship it out
A number Of prominent men Of Dal-
hart went out to the mines the latter
part Of the week and staked off min
ing claims. The mining town near the
famous arroyo is growing rapidly;
number of lots have been sold, and
several new business houses erected.
Two new stores have been put in with
in the last few days by Bryan and
Weber & Dietrich. A frst-class eating
house will begin business this week.
An organization to prevent claim jump
ing has been effected,

SEATTLE SYNDICATE
BUYS GOLD BASIS ON
GROOM CREEK, ARIZ.

PRESCOTT, Aug. 22.-Negotiations
pending for some weeks regarding the
taking over of the Gold Basis mining
claims on Groom creek have just been
closed by a first payment of $1,000. This
sum was rendered by Andy Linn, the
representative of a Seattle syndicate,
who will take over the group and ex-
tensively operate it in the near future.
The Gold Basis mines have gone
through a probate settlement, and au-
thority was given the administrator of
Mortimer H. Dodge to dispose of them
under an option of sale. Five patented
mines are included in this deal, and
on the ground is a complete five-stamp
mill.
Mr.. Dodge, the original owner, died
a few years ago in Ohio, and a few
weeks prior TO his death visited this
section with the intention of again
starting the work, saying that the
deepest workings were attractive and
believed that he would make a fine
showing after the extensive develop
ment that was given at all points.
Several hundred feet of work is in
evidence on this group and the Slopes
are said to be full of ore, the property,
in short, being ready for furnishing an
immediate supply for milling purposes.

SO0-foot shaft and on another one to
the depth of eighty feet.
After his discovery of the group IN
1888 Garcia worked the property by the
crudest methods, using an arrastra TO
grind the gold from the rock. Before
he let the property go to others, Car
cia took out $250O0 in gold. Since that
several companies have worked the
property.
In the Garcia group are the Vienna,
Burlington and Big Alexandra claims
The property is fully equipped with
the stamp mill and hosting apparatus,
as well as pumps. Reynolds says less
than $500 will make the repairs neces-
sary to put the machinery in operation.
All of the ore is free milling, and a
large part of it has been found to assay
an average of sos a ton in gold. The
ore carries a small amount of carbon
ates. but not enough to prove of any
value.
REYNOLDS shows a sample of ore
taken from the 2OO-foot level of the
300-foot shaft, where the gold-bearing
ore is twenty-five inches wide. Assays
from some of it run as high as $400 to
the ton in gold.

II OUGLAS, Aug. 22.-The Arizpe dis

the San PHILIPPE mines.
The Washington property, one of the
big holdings of the district, is doing
large amount of development work,
and reports are to the effect that with
the completion of 500 feet of develop

Up the Sonora river there is also a
revival in mining circles. At Ell Car
men, Bavacanora and Las Chispas
good showings have been made, it is
declared. An aerial tramway has just
been built at the last named place, to
convey ore UP from the gulch and
wood on the return trip. This tram
way. it is thought, will reduce oper-
ating expenses one-third.
A survey is now making for a rail-
road from the Seymour concession,
which terminates at Urezz, up the river
to Sinequapa, where, it is rumored, the

South of Tuepac along the east side

going on close to the railroad line

Meeting at Chicago This Week Is Ex-

of Profitable Interest to
Shareholders

There are evidences which point to
an extra dividend for shareholders
of the Goldheld Consolidated, which
will probably come along in time for
Christmas. The directors will meet in
Chicago Thursday. August 26, to pass
the regular quarterly distribution OF
80 cents, which totals 81, ,075,000. The
last quarter ends in November, and as
the treasury will then contain in ex-
cess of $1,500,0O0, an extra dividend of
80 cents is quite probable.
At Thursdays meeting it is an
nounced that General Manager ]. II.
Mackenzie will present plans for the
installation of sixty additional stamps
to the mill, in order to raise the ca
pacity to 1000 tons daily. The big
plant is now treating from 600 to 700
tons every twenty-four hours, and the
combination mill of the same company

work of enlarging the main shaft Is
completed.
The Florence, besides large shoots of
