Chino Company Most Active.
The Chino Copper company is just
now the most active mining concern
in this section OF the southwest and is
conducting its development OF the
santa Rita properties and its prcpar-
ations FOR the treatment Of its large
future tonnage Of ore upon a larger,
moro conservative scale than any
other company in any of the various
nearby mining districts. The work of
completing its large reservoir, dimen-
sions Of SO by 200 feet, and at con-
siderable depth, nea Apache Tejo, is
progressing rapidly. 1t is also IN
tended to develop the entire water
supply Of the big Central City draw,
a distance of eight or ten miles, and
pump this water into it's central sta
ton and reservoir ut Apache. A
large force of workmen Is now en-
gagged at the new town Of Hurley,
constructing a store building of &C.
ment, additional residences and cot
tages for it's employees and office men
and building the foundation for It's
large concentrating works, which VIII

the beginning and ultimately n daily
capacity OF 10000 tons.
Hallway is Building.
The mile spur of railway is about
completed, and seven locomotives for
the exclusive use of the company
have been purchased. Two of these
we're received some few weeks ago,
three more this week and the remain
inp two are expected daily. At its
mining camp the railway Is being eX-
tended into the main portion of the
camp from its terminal on tho west
side. -.
This has necessitated q number OF
changes in the own of SANTA Rita. A
number of residences had TO be
moved, the large building occupied
for years as the only saloon in camp
has been converted into a railway
station. and considerable other
changes and grading down hills ana
dumps for the spur made. \ large

The pcrmancncy of the Santa RITA
camp IS positively assured n IT'S eX-
ceodingly large and rich bodies OF ore,
together with its huge tonnage OF low
grade ore, makes it one OF ms most
interesting in the entire country. n

Of the best informed mining men who
heretofore endeavored to calcu-
