for the plant has been ordered. The work of erecting the buildings and of putting in place the machinery should be completed by the first of next year. The concentrates will be treated at a customs smelter.
 It has already been demonstrated that the Miami ore can be concentrated at the ratio of sixteen tons into one, and that an extraction of 80 per cent can be made on the average grade ore. Thus twenty-four pounds of copper ton can be saved. It is estiamted that the ore treated during the first year will aver age three per cent in copper.
 The excellent financial condition of the Miami Copper company at the pres ent time is shown by the fact that be- tween $l,l00,000 and $l,200,OO0 is now on hand ready for use in the future de velopment of the huge ore bodies on the company's claims.
 The few facts embodied in this ar. ticle shown, beyond the possibility ot doubt, that with the completion of the new railroad for which the rails arc now being laid, Miami district will be come a very potent factor in the 1Sin ing world and that the town which l' now growing up at the foot of the hll on which lies the Miami mine, will soor take rank as one of the most thriving camps in the southwest.

ness of the little town in Ishikawa, in northern Japan, gradually disappear ed from the encroachment of newer methods of metal art productions; the skillful fingers and patient days, weeks, months and years of constant toll given to the production of the beant ful objects were slowly relegated to the past In the course of time the art was forgotten; it passed with steel like enamel of the Samauri sword scab- bard and was practically forgotten.
 Of all men on earth today, an ob- scure and almost unknown artist, Yam ada Chosaburo, descendant of the original makers of the art, is the only person whose artistice hand is capable of bringing forth the old effect from the crude sheets of cold irion.

There are several other ex- amples exhibited, and all show the horse is valued at $600 the puppies are worth S75 and smiling iron mon

 how can they be made at all.

INSPIRATION

Among the mines which have grown from the status of being prospects to become properties of assured futures and with large ore bodies developed, IS the Inspiration, one of the most favor ably regarded mines in northern Ari- zona The holdings of this mine in- clude over forty claims in the heart of the Miami district.
 Eighty men are now employed there under the direction of Superintendent Mike Shovlin, to whom the manage ment of the mine is entrusted by the Inspiration Copper company That MT Shovlin is one of the most experienced and expert mining men in the south west is evident from the way in which the work at the Inspiration mine goes forward under his guidance. Drifting, and sinking is being done on large scale in several shafts and tunnels. Chief among these workings is the Joe Bush shaft which is now down to a depth of 330 feet, and sinking at the rate of about twenty feet week. From this shaft, good concentrating ore IS being taken, and the average specl- mems show assay returns of about 3 per cent copper. Many of the samples picked up on the ore dump are of much higher grade, but practically none of them run less than 2l2 per cent, the grade of the ore being very uniform throughout. As an illustration of this, representative of the Silver Belt went to the bottom of the Joe Bush shaft recently and in comparative darkness picked up the first specimen that came to hand. This sample was later found to contain fully 2l2 per cent copper. The copper occurs in gray schist, much as it does at the Miami mine.
 Within the last few weeks the force working on the Inspiration mine has put down four or five holes with a churn drill and in every case, at depth of between 250 and $50 feet has found the same grade of ore that is now being taken tom the Joe Bush shaft. In this way it has been con clusively shown that the Inspiration Copper company has an entire noun tain. of concentrating copper ore.
 The Bulldog shaft of the Inspiration property is, now down 3l3 feet. At a depth of 275 feet drift has been run for about 65 feet and is being contin ued. The Taylor tunnel has been driv en for about $50 feet and the Columbia tunnel is now 600 feet long, and al that distance drift is being carried southward. The Merci tunnel is be tween eight and nine hundred feet long. From this brief review, it car he readily seen that some of the mos' active and profitable mining in Miam district is being done on the lnspira tion property, and that at no distant date, the Inspiration Copper compan! is going to be numbered among tho big producers of that region.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-07-25

TN THESE days when the Miami dis
 trict is coming so rapidly to the
 front as great copper producing
 section, and when the amount of building being done there gives prom ise of large and growing population for the region within the next few months, the development of every mine in the district is watched with great interest by people connected with mining in the territory, and by every one who is endeavoring to promote Arizona s rise to position second to none among the states.
 The mines of Miami district are numerous, and practically all of the better known ones are either working in ore now or are assured of striking it by sinking, drifting or crosscutting in the near future, and probably, be- fore the end of the coming fall. As the large bodies of ore in Miami dis trict have been shown to lie within two or three hundred feet of the sur face as at Miami, Cordova, Inspiration and other properties, the amount of work necessary to reach the ore bodies can readily be realized. While the great Miami mineral ledge consisting of gray schist thickly shot with cop per is believed by many experienced mining men to cut the entire country there for miles, it is also certain that on this ledge the nature of the mineral deposits differ somewhat in their oc currence and in their grade. For eX ample, at the Inspiration mine, which is within few minutes ride ot the Miami Copper company property, different kind of ore is being eneoun tered than that which is held to con stitute the great Miami mineral body And again, at the Live Oak shaft ; few hundred yards away from the Jo' Bush shaft of the Inspiration, stil different mineral deposit is found Faulting, which is said by some to hav' occurred in this region, may be re sponsible in some measure for the diff ferent ways in which the ore occurs though it does not materially alter tn grade of mineral deposits found in tn various shafts.

BLACK WARRIOR

A mine which is already shipping ore in large quantities is that of the Warrior Copper company, situated about five miles northwest of Globe. From this property 80 tons of high high grade ore is being shipped daily, showing an increase in production of go tons day within the last month The working force there has been in. creased from 30 to 70 men during that time. Work is now being done on the 300 level and a skip and pump have been installed recently in the winze between the second and third levels President F. NJ.

Immense Holdings and Wealth
 of Phelps Dodge Company

BOSTON, July 24.-Since the or ganization of the firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co. into corporation, there have been transactions in but three hundred shares. the last sale being made at s200 and that price is now bid
 The James family hold complete con trol of the stock of this company, while the Douglas family holds about 10 pei cent ownership in the company.
 1t is now paying dividends at the rate of $l0 per share per annum in quarterly payments of $2.50 per share and earning safe margin above that figure with copper at l3 cents and with various miscellaneous ~ourees of in come.
 The Phelps Dodge people have large interests in mining and railroads in the southwest which are not in the new company, including the Fl Paso & Southwestern system of railroads, which is controlled by t.e James fam. fly.
 Young James pays more attention to the railroad end of the business than to the copper end, Professor James Douglas being the copper man of the company. Young James Douglas, who has been in charge or the Moctezuma property at Nacozari, left the employ of the Phelps Dodge company in May and is now in business for himself.
 In addition to an ownership of l60,- 0O0 shares of Old Dominion, out of 294 900 outstanding shares, the Phelps

Dodge people own the Indiana and Sonora property at Cananea, and the Commercial property in Phoenix, Ariz., but these two properties have never re turned profits, though Professor Doug las has great faith that they will in
 Professor Douglas is particularly strong in his opinion of the United Globe, which is part of the Old Do- minion. He believes that in this ter ritory will be found large ore reserves and that in time it will prove the big end of the old Dominion company. 1t has never been developed below few hundred feet under the surface until last year, when drifts were run into the territory through the Old Dominion property at depth of 1000 to 1900 feet, following the main Old Dominion vein in the United Globe ground and finding it rich.
 Opinion is expressed by people hay; ing an acquaintance with the Phelps Dodge affairs that, with the retirement of Professor Douglas who is now so well along in years that he cannot ex- pect to remain in the harness much longer, the present active interests will retire from the copper business, but continue in the railroad business. Such retirement, therefore, might result in the sale of the famous Phelps Dodge properties and other copper interests, though there is no present indication of either retirement on the part of Pres ident Douglas, or sale.

M1AMI coppER COMPANY

Six miles northwest of Globe there is scene of animated industry where the Miami Copper company IS employ ing several hundred men in the work of blocking out the huge mountain of con centrating ore that first revealed the tremendous possibilities of Miami dis trict. The property of this company includes approximately 300 acres of which at least 200 acres are mineral land The holdings are located in the eastern end of belt of altered schist averaging about l,200 feet in width and extending through the whole region in general easterly and westerly direc- tion. The ore in this section IS found to be secondary chalcOcite dissemlnat- ed through the schist and from the ae- tual tests made is shown to be excel lent concentrating material
 The No l shaft on the Miami proper tv is the man one and has developed large ore reserves. This shaft is 120 feet deep and has four levels. As de- veloped so far the ore shoot is in the form of huge cone tilted on one side with the point of it running west to- ward the property of the Cordova Cop per company.
 i The areas of the known ore bodies on the different levels as shown by the No. shaft are as follows;
 Level Area of Ore Body Av. Con. | 270 feet acre 3.l0 per cent copper 27O feet II acres 2.96 per cent copper 40 feet l6 acres 2.75 per cent copper 57O feet l6 acres 2.75 per cent. copper
 To depth of about fifty feet below the 570 foot level, the existence of the ore body has been proven. The ore has been blocked out in fifty foot squares above this level. The company is now sinking new shaft of four compart ments to be known as the No. shaft through which to hoist the ore when ac tual production begins. This shaft vii
 be 570 feet deep and is more than three
 fourths finished at the present time.
 Other shafts than those already men
 toned are the Captain shaft, 220 fee
 deep and the No ? shaft, which is dowl
 to depth of 240 feet. The Captain
 shaft is said to develop more than 100,
 900 tons of ore assaying from l.75 l.
 per cent copper and the No. shaf
 has sulphide ore in the bottom.
 The Miami Copper company still Ina
 large extent of territory where httl or no development work has as yet bee done, and the recent finding of larg ore bodies on the Inspiration property 750 feet west of the Miami line is O
 great importance as showing, beyond
 doubt, that practically all of the Milan claims are richly mineralized.
 Being assured of a heavy produetio of ore lasting over a known period of a { least twenty-five years, the Miami Coz E per company is now making arrange e mrnts for suitable treatment of its ou . lput.

World Shaken By Earthquake.

London, Jan. 23.-The seismo-
graphs Of Europe record severe
earthquake few minutes before
4 clock this morning. In some
instances the intensity was nearly
as great as at the time OF the
Messina disaster.
The estimates of distances vary
from 1000 to 5000 miles to the
eastward of the point of record.
This would place the location of
the disturbance in the Caspian
region or beyond, in Asiatic
Russia, Afghanistan, Northern
India, and swinging more to the
South, the extreme of Arabia and
Central Africa. The disturbance
also could have been in the Indian
ocean.
The seismograph on the Isles
of Wight record severe oscilla-
tions. Professor Milne says that
the disturbance, apparently, is in
the Eastern hemisphere.
AT the Geodetic Institute, Pots
dam, Germany, the earth tremors
were nearly equal to those re-
corded at the time of the Messina
catastrophe. The seismograph
broke under the oscillations.
The disturbance was also re-
corded in Berlin, Stuttgart, Hei-
delberg. Goettingen, and Vienna.
According to the calculations
of the Austrian experts the dis
turbance was about 1000 miles
distant and the visitation must
have been disastrous if in any in
habited district.
The Pulkova observatory. St.
Petersburg, records, indicate the
shock was at distance of 1000
miles east.
