four feet of good ore is being work |
ed for distance of 200 feet.
1000-foot level--In the west drift
on the South vein some exceptionally
good values are being received from
the vein which averages about three
feet wide in the face. The ledge has
widened out in the back stope that
was started about 150 feet from the
face OF the drift and is now about
four feet in width. Good progress
Las been made in extending the west
drift on the Occidental vein and
about three feet of good ore shows
up in the face. East drift No. 2 from
the 1856 winze sent down from this
level, is contributing its regular
amount of ore from the ledge which
shows up in the face for about four
feet in width. The south crosscut
from the bottom of this winze that is
being sent ahead to connect with the
north crosscut from the 1854 winze,
continues to pierce porphyry. The
west drift from the winze that was
sent out along the hanging wall con-
Itinues to cut stringers of ore and
from all indications will soon en-
counter a good ore body.
1100-foot level-No 3 north
crosscut from 1854 winze is rapidly
nearing the south crosscut sent out
from winze 1866 and the connection
should be made during the coming
week. The rich stringers recently

MONTANA.

During the past seven days the
mill at the Montana treated 1923
tons of company ore, from which an
extraction of 9O.3 per cent was saw
ed The extraction is rapidly reach
ing the normal point for the run on
the ore that caused the decrease
has nearly been completed. Then
the recent installation Of additional
tanks and settlers has partially over
come the loss. The per cent saved
the previous week amounted to 81,
and this weeks showing is gratify-
ing to the management. The total
amount of development for the week
reached 142 feet.
390-foot level-The west drift on
the Triangle vein advanced thirteen
feet on low grade milling ore. The
face at the present. however, shows
about four feet of fair grade milling
ore. A large improvement in the
values has been noticed In this ledge
and the indications point to the
body looking considerably stronger
by the time the next weeks report is
filed. The stopping on the South
vein is still confined to the central
portion where the vein averages six
feet in width and is of good milling
ore. A discovery of somewhat
sensational nature was made in the
crosscut that was sent into the foot
wall side from the east end of th'
stope. Fully four feet of high grade
ore was encountered in this crosscut
lying on the fault. This is appar
; emily the same fault that was en-
countered in the east drift. Stopinl

ToNOPAH EXTENSION.

The same regular routine work
was conducted in the Extension dur
ing the past week with no new de-
velopments reported. All operations
are confined to the 400 and 770-
foot levels, where the ore bodies are
being blocked out. General Mana
ger ]. G. Kirchen is expected back
from New York the early part Of this
coming week and it is thought he
will have some definite information
concerning the date when the work
will be started on the erection of the
new mill that the directors have de-
cided to build. Until this is COM
pleted no ore will be extracted from
the workings of the mine.

everything about the mine has been
kept in first class condition
The installation Of pump was
necessary on account of the water
encountered at depth of 1860 feet
in sinking the Mizpah shaft. An
Aldrich horizontal quintuplex cleo
trio pump of 200 gallons per min
ute capacity, was installed on the
twelfth level of the Mizpah shaft,
connected with the surface by an
armored cable capable of transmit
ting 200 horsepower, and a six-inch
water column was placed in the SHAFT
i to take the discharge from the pump.
Below the twelfth level, in sinking
the shaft, a sinking pump is used
discharging in a crosscut from the
north side of the pump station. Botr
pumps have been tried and have
worked successfully from the start
The flow of water is so small II
quantity that 1t can be easily HANDLED
by the pump. To have bailed woul'
have interferred with hoisting ore
so that economy suggested the IN
stallation of the pump. which has
surplus capacity sufficient to TAX
care of at least four times the pres
ent flow of water.

LACK CLUES THOUGH
 OFFICERS MAKE SEARCH
NO TRACE OF IDENTITY OF THREE MEN WHO HELD UP MIDWAY SALOON SATURDAY.

So far no clue has been obtained as the whereabouts of the three robbers who held up the Midway saloon at the point of guns Saturday night and made on with $50.
 They also took several bottles of whiskey and one of absinthe. In their hurry to get away they dropped the cartridge case from oLe of the auto matic revolvers they had, however, this being the only clue they left behind.
 Had the roobers happened into The saloon a short time before, there might have been a different story to tell. as J. Nj. Johnson, who is a special deputy sheriff. was there. They evidently knew him and waited until he got cut. as it was only few minutes afterward that the place was held up.
 The officers, who have a good de scrspt.on of the men, have followed uI several clues so far. but without re suit. Deputy Sherif White and Con stable Twomey went out to the Bis bee Extension after three men who started from Bisbee early in the morning. They caught up with theu but found that they were simply or their way to the Extension in search i, of work. They were allowed to pro ceed.

SALVATIOAIsTS TRY
 ID KEEP 'POT BOILING
SOLICIT FUNDS BY UNIQUE METHODS TO GIVE POOR CHRISTMAS CHEER.

Keep the pot boiling" is the mot to depending from two small iron pots which hang upon tripods on Main street and Brewery Avenue respec- lively. Over them preside two work CTS of the Salvation Army, for. with the money donated by generous citi- zens the army will supply the poor of the city with a merry Christmas.
 The plans entertained by Captain 5. Benningnove, commander of the army in Bisbee, include happy Christmas for every poor person in the district, if sufficient funds can be secured for the purpose. So far the passersby have responded generously to the re- quest for offerings and have kept the pot while not fur.ously boiling, but at least at a simmer.
 A large sum is expected to be col lected in this manner, but probably not enough to carry through the work to completion. An entertainment Tn which number of the army and thelr friends will participate Is planned for Christmas Eve. Friday. December 2f. small admission fee will be charged. the proceeds to be added to the pot fund.
 A Christmas tree for the poor child ren of the city will be held at the Army hall in the Hughes block. where the entertainment already held men toned, Is aiso to take place. the Mon day following Christmas day.

departures has been the establishment of an information department, pre- sided over by widely known mining engineers who are kept in the field to gather accurate information as to mining and smelting properties for general distribution through the Thompson house to the investing pub lie. It is understood that under the new organization, which will be ef fective January 1. this idea will be even further extended. Editor Bar tholomew, for twenty years with the Boston News Bureau and known in this district through several visits in recent years, will doubtless have a strong hand in widening he work of the publicity department of the firm, with which he is to become associated and to which he will bring the best of newspaper training. As in the pres ent firm. J. E. Thompson will be the active directing head in the new or ganization, surrounded by assocIates of long experience and very high standing. both in executive ability and fortune.

DELINQUENT
 LIST LARGE

Although city taxes are coming in rapidly these days. not as much as half of the total sum to be collected between this date and December 20, when delinquency becomes effective, with it's penalties, has been received by City Marshal and ex-oflicio City Tax Collector Stevens
 q think it probable that something less than fifty per cent of the total is represented by the collections up to date" said Mir Stevens yesterday. "The large tax payers of the city have yet to be heard from, however. They will probably come in day or two be- fore the delinuency law become CT fectiye and bring the total away up. Next Monday is the day. however. when the penalty becomes effective.
 After December 20. all persons de linquent in payment of taxes will face penalty of per cent. adiuonai charge. Later their property may go under the hammer after suit for the original sum, and penalties has been passed upon by the district court.
 MT. Stevens expressed the opinion that should taxpayers flock into his office throughout the week as they have for the last few days, there will be very small delinquency list in deed.

FORMER B|SBEE MAN MAKES
 GOODIN GREAT FINANCIAL CENTER

Reports winch have recently been current in eastern financial publica- tons of change approaching in the firm of Trippe, Thompson & Co, are confirmed in a letter received in the city from New York. Local interest in the matter is large because of the fact that J. E. Thompson formerly O. Bisbee and of '.J. E. T." fame, has been the active head of the Trippe, Thompson Co. during the last year. As it's head he has placed the firm at the very front of mining brokerage houses in the east The business of the firm lately is understood to aggregate bet ter than million dollars a day. Its operations extend throughout the country and have been made notable from promptness of execution.
 Mir Thompson, well known here. is big believer in publicity and has carried this feature into his New York work, with result that the firm of Trippe, Thompson & Co. has made some striking departures from the beaten path. Principal among these

COPPER QUEEN PLANS
 LARGE IMPROVEMENT

Plans are being entertained by the Copper Queen company for the pur- chase of a compressor of 1000 cubic feet capacity per minute as supple inentary equipment for the Sacramen- to plant. This would be the largest compressor in the entire Southwest and would supply air for running the Gardner and Lowell -hoists, thus eff fecting a great saving.
 While this is merely contemplated at present, the next few months will see it an actuality is the expectation of Superintendent Woodman. At present the Gardner and Lowell are being run by separate steam plants of their own. The supplying of energy for their hoists from the central plant would effect an immense saving in this item. The compressor would be used also to furnish air for drills.
 The iron rails for the underground trolley system of the Sacramento, which is being run to the Lowell, ar rived during the week and within ten days it is expected that the cars w-ll

RISE IN PRICE
 IS PLEASING

The rise in the bid prices in Warrior and Live Oaks. two of the features of the weeks markets. has not been without interest in Bisbee as a num- Der of local men are interested in the HovlandSmith properties which bid fair soon to be leaders in the Globe district.

 Tive Oaks within recent weeks, saas risea from $S to SIS, sales in large numbers having been made at both prices. Warrior has gone from 3s to Si1 in the same period, of about a mosth. It is confidently expected by local spectators that these issues wih not stop before they have reach ed the nelghborhood of $40.
 Bids were yesterday received by To- caf brokers for several one hundred snare lots of each of these sucks, from Duluth spectators, ordering purchase at market. This is an ez hibition Of the same confidence which inspires local men.

The Salvation Army Is an organiza- tion for poor people. They first get clothes on their bodies and food in their stomaches, then they do taeir best to get them to lead better lives.
