MINING APPARATUS IS
SCHEDULED FOR SHYLoCK
From Thursdays Daily)

Plans for a new and complete cleo
trical equipment and the prosecution
of development of the Shylock mine
were discussed and adopted at the an
nual meetings of the stockholders and
directors of the Arizona Central Cop
per Company held in the company's of
fees here yesterday. An electric hoist
and pumping plant will be erected as
well as machinery for electric drills
and other modern mining apparatus
operated by the subtle fluid. The pow
er for the new plants will he furnished
by the Arizona Power Company. The
power eompany's transmission line
from its Fossil Creek plant to Jerome
passes within a short distance of the
ShylOck mine.
With the new machinery ready for
operation the main shaft will be push
ed down as rapidly as possible to a
depth of 1000 feet. From the 1000
foot station the ore bodies will be
opened by an extensive system of lat
erals. The management expects that
the shaft will he a fair distance in
the sulphide one at this depth. The
shaft is now go feet deep. Perma-
nent water level is still deeper.
Stockholders and directors of the
company expressed themselves as well
pleased with the management of Gen
eral Manager J. B. Cleveland last year,
the directors voieing their confidence
in his executive ability and economic
of the company's affairs
by his unanimous reelection. The
work accomplished last year under his
was at a remarkably low
cost, compared with the development !
of other mining companies operating
under similar if not better conditions. !
He is an advocate of deep mining. In
this ne is supported by the board of
all of whom are anxious to |
push the development of the mine to
greater depth as rapidly as possible.

PAY LAST PAYMENT
ON DIVIDEND GROUP
(From Wednesdays Daily.l

Final payment on the purchase price
of the Dividend group of mines has
been paid by tne Mount Elliott Con
sOlidated Mines Company to the Div
idend Consolidated Gold Mining Com
pany and the title of the property
passed into the purchasing company.
The deal for the transfer of the Divi-
dend group was closed April 10, 1906.
The purchase price was 100000, pay
able in installments. The property,
which comprises eleven patented
claims, is now known as the Mount
Elliott group.
F. E. Biles, general manager, and I.
d. L. Williams, director of the Mount
Elliott Consolidated Mines Company,
who arrived here last night from the
company's camp in the Chaparral see
ton, confirmed the report that final
payment of the purchase price had
been made recently and the passing of
the title to their company. They adj
nit that larger plan of development
of the mines is under way and the en-
larging of the mill capacity later this
wear under consideration. 4 new air
compressor plant will also be install
ed and other surface Improvements
made.
General Manager Biles said that he
was compelled to shut down the ten
stamp mill temporarily on account of
the failure of delivery of fuel oil at
the camp regularly since the last snow
storm. He expects to resume opera
tions in the mill at the end of the
present week when a large oil storage
will insure a fuel supply for a eonsid-
cradle time. He has over 100 tons of
high grade milling ore stored in the
mill bins.
Sinking is in progress in the main
shaft of the Dividend mine. 1t IS
now down 400 feet Sinking will be
resumed in a short time N the Galena
mine shaft The Dividend and Galena
mines are among the oldest locations
in the Big Bug district Both have
good records as gold producers al
though not opened TO any considerable
depths, the deepest opening being the
main shaft of the Dividend.
the property is located Immediately
north of and adjoining the Lelan
group of mines and west of and ada
cent to the Jessie mine, which has a
record of gold production of over
100000.

BOND OF MILLIKEN
GROUP TOTALS $4,000

After several weeks negotiations,
the title to the Milliken group of
mines passed uuder bond yesterday
from J. J. Milliken to a Boston and
New York syndicate represented by O..
J. O'COnneI. The deal is among the
most important negotiated here for
some time. The consideration mention
ed is $4,000 payable in installments
covering a period of twelve months.
The transfer includes besides the Mil
liken group of four claims on the east
slope of the divide between Walker
and Groom Creek, the Homestead mine
adjacent to the town of Walker, one
of the Oldest and most promising par
TALLY developed lode locations in the
district
Arrangements for the commence
ment of development of the properties
is now under way.
The Homestead mine is opened by a
shaft 200 feet deep and several shall
lower openings. Ore from the mine
was treated in local mills many years
ago at a handsome profit.
The other claims are developed by
tunnels, the principal ones being $50
feet, 200 feet and $50 feet in length.
Ore bodies carrying good values in
gold are exposed in all the openings.
The topography of the group is such
that the principal vein can he tapped
by tunnel at a depth of 500 feet.
NH experts claim that the ores of
the claims are admirable for treatment
by the cyanide process, there being no
copper values.
An ample supply of timber and wat
er for all purposes is on the ground,
reducing these features of operating
expense to a minimum.

MAY BUILD LARGE
REDUCTION PLANT THIS YEAR
From Wednesdays Dailv.l

plans for the erection of a large re-
duetiOn plant on the properties of the
Monarch Mining and Smelling Compa-
ny in the Black Rock district are I'M
der consideration by the directors of
the company, according to advices re-
ceived here yesterday from Macon,
Georgia, where a number of the snare
holders of the company reside.
The financing of the undertaking is
now well under way and the manage
ment expects to have the plant in op-
Grafton during the present year.
The company's holdings, known as
the "Three Black Buttes," are located
nine miles northeast of Wiekenburg.
There is a large tonnage of ore ex-
posed in the various openings on the
ground.
Operations on the property ceased in
1907 after the destruction of the test
mill by fire The mill had been built
only a short time when destroyed. Its
operation, however, proved to the sat
isfactiOn of the management that the
mines can be made to pay handsome
dividends by the building of a plant
of large capacity.

ma Mexican.
Nor must mention of our placers be
omitted, for, from the Pot-Holes of
Yuma county, to the Painted Rock of
Maricopa, there seems to have been a
shower of the precious metal; from
tne summit of Rich Hill to Wicken-
burg. the record of coarse gold would
indicate that in early ages there had
been a cloudburst of the golden grains.
From the top of Rich Hill alone a mil
lion and a half in coarse gold nuggets
was picked up by hand in years gone
by. And only capital is needed nova
days in order 20 work at a profit these
great and almost untouched placers;
for they need the dredge, costly APP
paratus.
That investments in the mountains
of Arizona richly reward the capitalist
is proved by tne results attained by
the Detroit Copper Mining company,
the Calumet &Arizona, the Superior
& Pittsburg, the Shattuek- Arizona, the
Old Dominion. the United Globe, the
Gibson Copper, the Arizona Copper,
the Shannon, the Imperial Copper,
and the Oxide Copper company, to
say nothing of the United Verde and
the Copper Queen. Nor is this nalf
the list, but time forbids an enumera-
ton of the hundreds of paying mines
now in operation.
In the great and growing southwest
is room for every sort of miner. 1t is
not the capitalist alone that finds
fields Of usefulness and profit. To the
skilled laborer and the common miner
Arizona now offers greater oppOrtuni-
ties than ever before. Nor have the
unions obtained the foothold here that
they have in California and other
mining communities. Strikes are al
most unknown. Even during the pan
ic and following the great slump in
copper. the mines of Arizona kept up
activities, employing nearly the usual
number of men. with only slight re-
duction in wages.
That Arizona jealously guards the
interests of those that confide in her
mas been proved over and over again.
from the days when a fearless govern
or published a printed declaration
against fake mining companies. men
tioning in particular one that he be
iieved to be merely a drag net for
small wage earners, down TO the pres
ent laws against the soap bubble min
ing company, as well as the day of the
arrastra and the adobe furnace has
passed away. and with it is passing
that distrust which men of means so
often feel toward the mere territory
the frontier.
Tne total value of the production of
copper, gold and silver in ArizoIa for
the year just passed was in the neigh
borhood of S55,OOO,OOO. Nor are these
the only minerals we produce. The
list is long and includes asbestos, mol
ybdenum. chalcedony, sapphires and
other precious stones, as well as com
mon table salt.

\ Correction.

December p, 1909.
Editor OF The Times:
| have learned since the killing of
Mr. Howell at the Cut on that some
of his friends think | am di-
rectly blameable for that unfortun-
ate affair; and having read in your
paper of last week that | had sent for
Cleve Bell TO arrest him, | desire TO
say that il is mistake.
Mr. Bell was in the store when Hol-
well came in, and quietly took more
abuse from him than most men would
have taken without resentment; as
did Geo. Caldwell also. After threat
ening to Kill negro in the store, Hol-
well went out on the front, and | told
him | would not submit to such con-
duct any longer, and that he had bet
ter get his horse and leave. Then Bell
and Fred Story went with him TO get
his horse, and he became so desperate
that Bell undertook TO arrest him,
which resulted in the killing. | never
asked Bell 10 arrest him, as | felt that
| could take care OF myself
Please give this space in Your col
umns and oblige.
