and four cars came in on Tuesday. It is expected that four cars will arrive today, making a total of twelve cars for the week. These cars run from thirty to forty tons to the car.
 D. S. Richards, local representative of the White interests in this county, has taken over the mines of Tom Graves and others, in Alum Wash,
 west of Mineral Park, and will at once put force of men to work developing them. The mines are said to carry nice values in copper and the precious metals. MT. Richards is also working force of men on the Midnight and this week entered good body of high grade copper ore. Work on this prop erty will be prosecuted with vigor.
 The entire big milling plant of the Tom Reed company was placed in com mission this week and is working like a charm. Everything in and about the plant is automatic and the decreased cost of milling will be quite noticeable The plant is capable of handling at least 120 tons of ore daily through the stamp mill, tube mill and cyanide tanks and filter presses. The ore that Is now extracted and treated in this plant is high in grade and the recovery is very close.
 L. Hoffman, general manager of the Arizona Southwestern Copper con- pany, reports the uncovering of fine body of lead-silver ore in a cross country drift on one of the company's properties, at Copperville. The vein is very large and shows considerable lead ore all through, but two feet of solid ore was cut that runs high in lead and over one hundred ounces silver. Work is progressing rapidly on this vein and the other wall is expected to be cut soon.
 The wagon road has been repaired to the c. O. D. mine and work is to be commenced on a new shaft on that property as soon as the hoisting plant can be removed to the new location. Mir. Mclaughlin and associates will drive this work ahead as fast as men and money can do it. The new shaft will enter the ore body some distance from the old workings and will be two or three compartment in size. With this large new shaft below the old works all the ore now opened can readily be reached and milled. Miners who worked in the property when the long drift was driven claim that there is an immense body of gold ore on that level that has never been touched. Even if this is not true there is enough ore in the old stopes to keep a big mill running for long period of time.
 The ore now being extracted from the 800 and 700 levels of the Goldroad mine is said to be far richer than that heretofore taken from the property. and the bullion output will be in- creased by many thousands of dollars during the month of February. Those who are in position to judge say that the property is getting bigger and richer with every months work, and that it is destined to be one of the largest producers of gold in the United States. The average of the ore taken from the old works was low compared with the present values, yet the com- pany was enabled to pay dividends | from the profits. In the old mill the cost of extraction was very high, while | in the new plant the cost has been re- duced to a minimum.
 The Tom Reed Annex Gold Mines company, a close corporation, is operating the Rose, Boundary Cone and other properties iL San Francisco district. A shaft has been sunk on Rose claim, with excellent results. This mine is situated north of the Carter claim and on the same lode. and lying to the west of the large dike lying between the Tom Reed and Carter mines. The outcrop of the vein shows we'll and the work so far done on it shows good values in gold. The company is to press work on all
