carried but traces of gold. Naturally
my suspicion was directed to sailing
TO account for the previous high
value of the samples obtained by
the other engineers. To confirm this
Il procured some parts of the
samples which had been previously
salted and found by micrOscopical
examination that the gold was I'm the
form of gold filings. Just how the
sailing was done is a matter Of spec
ulation: and | do not think it would
be possible to prove case against
the parties interested and responsi-
bic for the sailing. There is not the
Sigh est doubt i'm my mind. however
that the sailing had been done, aud
in this opinion l am supported by
several other first class engineers.
do not think that this. however, re-
fleets al al upon the integrity OF the
mining men Of Arizona. especially
since IL is he first case that has
occurred in all my many years Of eX-
perience in the examination of Ar
iona mines. But that there are some
black sheep in the mining business
of Arizona as in every other part Of
the country is undoubtedly true.
Such men, while they may discredit
In a degree the coed name of the Ter
Tory, are fortunately unable to over
come the unquestiOnable evidence
on all hands that Arizona is one Of the
great mining states of the west and
one in which there are exceptional
opportunities for the investment OF
mining capital There is one thing
quite eel. ain. and that is that all the
dishonest promoters in the country
could not by any conspiracy affect the
very high opinion ] have of the value
of Arizona mineral deposits, or of
the integrity Of the people of the ter
ritory.
In looking over the editorial COM
ment in he Prescott Journal Miner
Of February 25. note that ! am
reported to have said. MARK well the
mine" This is a mistake aud was
probably put in for sensational effect.
But il would not have been very diff
ficult for a Sherlock Holmes to have
ascertained which mine was referred
to. although ! visited several mines.
by looking up my itenerary during
my western trip
Unfortunately I have no connection
with this property and cannot per-
sonally take any acton without the
permission Of the parties for whom
I made the examination of the mine
in question. l do not know what
action they would be willing to take.

GOOD PROGRESS AT MIAMI NINE.

The work OF blocking out the ore
on the sub-levels of the Miami mine,
above the first extraction level. 420
feet from the surface; is nearly com
pleted. 1t is estimated that he min
eralized body above this level con-
tains 100000 tons of ore of an av-
erage grade of 2.25 per cent. copper.
At present tracks are being laid on
the 420-foot level for the motor cars
which viii eventually convey the ore
% the shaft The are cars. already in
use on that level are now being
hauled by mules. Preparations are
also being made on this extraction
level To construct ore pockets.
At the concentrator site. the steel
framework of the sides of the mill is
being cree ed. The foundation for the
new hosting plant at shaft No. 4 is
practically completed and it is posi-
bic that the hosting and cage engines
will be installed within two or three
months.
Thus far the Star chun drills at
work on he Captain claim. at the
northwest end OF the Miami Copper
companys property have sunk FIVE
holes. all Of which have encountered
ore OF commercial grade.
J. Parke Claiming. consulting en-
gineer for the Miami Copper company,

by the method of the Producers in
counting as exports all copper that

The consensus OF opinion is that
the consumption OF copper in this
country at the present time is as
grea. If not greater than at any pre-
vious time notwithstanding the wire
mills are not yet running to their full
capacity. Disregarding the academic
conclusions to be drawn from the sta

basis for the belief tha- at the some
what reduced rate OF output at which
the Tefineries are now working, the
world is at the moment consuming az
much copper as is being refined.
AT the present time there is no
likelihood OF any large amount OF new
production coming into sight dur
ing the year 19i0.but during 1911 and
