time a by-product Of zinc manufacture,
but it will be made feature in itself,
with a special, big plant for the pur-
pose of making it.
The West has been so far the sole
market for zinc dust. Now, however,
manufacturing concerns of various
kinds in the East has discovered uses
for the metal in this form, and orders
have been placed from New Jersey,
Cleveland, Ohio and Griselli, Ind.
Orders which the selling company re-
ceived from Arizona, California, Utah,
Nevada, Idaho and Colorado are now
waiting to be filed.
A telegram ordering 1000 pounds of
zinc dust, TO be delivered ''at once"
was received Tuesday from the Gold
field Consolidated Mining company at
Goldfeld, New. The Nevada people
were informed they could have an
SOO-pound barrel now, and a similar
consignment every four days. The
Mining company of Lead,
S. D., is also negotiating for dust, so
that it appears to the selling company
that a plant four times as large as the
present one would not be too big.
Heretofore the German product has
had a practical monopoly in the United
States, and it is only recently that the
Pueblo concern, which is an adjunct
of the American Smelling and Rein
ing company, has been able to perfect
its processes to compete on even

Rich Placer Strikes Excite La Paz
Region.

o. L. Grimsley, president of the New
La Paz Gold Mining company, with
headquarters IN the o. T. johnson
building, received a letter from his su-
perintendent at the mines near Ehren-
burg, Arlz., that several strikes had
been made on the La Paz and adjOin-
ing properties. The strikes which
were made in prospect work run from
8 5 to zoos a yard, says Mr.. Guernsey,
the superintendent. People working
on bedrock are picking up nuggets
every day. he says.
There is large number of persons
entering the district now, but owing
to the heat at this time of the year the
big rush is not expected until about
October l.
1t is reported that w. E. Scott, oper-
ating a quartz mine near Quartzite,
adjoining the New La Paz property,
has struck l4-inch vein, going to 50OS
to the ton. On the Bently property,
near Quartzite, a strike was recently
made, going zoos a ton in free milling
gold. These two mines are located in
The foothills adjoining the New La Paz
property.
In his letter yesterday Guersney said
there was an auto service being in
stalled between Parker and Ehren-
burg and that big excitement was
expected on both sides of the Colorado
river as soon as the weather cooled off.
The New La Paz people are con-
structing trench from the property
to a reservoir in the hills. Workmen
while digging this trench have, it is
reported by Guersney, encountered
goldbearing sands running all the way
from so cents TO IS yard.
From all reports this is one of the
richest placer countries IN the world,
and as people are beginning TO enter
for the purpose of operating on ground
that has not been located a period of
general activity is looked forward to
this fall and winter.-Los Angeles

For Zinc Ore in Leadville
Mines.

A Leadville, Colo, dispatch says:
The hunt for carbonate of zinc con-
tinues vigorously throughout the dis
trict, and large force of men is at
present employed in raking over tine
old dumps in the neighborhood where
! the remarkable discoveries have been
made. A number of old shafts on
Fryer, Yankee and Carbonate hills are
being prospected, as well as several on
Iron and Rock hills.
Early in the summer Frank Zaitz
and associates secured a lease on the
Robert Emmett, Stray Horse gulch, at
one time large producer, and after
spending considerable money in retim-
bering the shaft and drifts and clean
ing out the latter, work was directed
to find the ore bodies which were be-
lieved to exist in the property. In the
drifts several streaks of zinc ore found
and they were persistently followed
until the main body was reached, and
later it turned out that not one but
several ore bodies of zinc sulphides
were opened. Through the bodies are
numerous streaks of high-grade ma
terial which are saved separately. AS
the ore bodies are developed the ton
mage increases, and today the mine is
said to be sending out 1000 tons a
month. As there is no railroad switch
to the mine, all of the ore is hauled by
wagon TO the cars at the railroad de-
pots, and the string of ore teams that
are daily seen going up and down East
Sixth street reminds one of the olden
days when all of the ore in the camp
was hauled by wagon. The largest
bodies of zinc sulphide ore found in the
lower workings of the mines.
For several weeks lately Manager
Stewart of the St. Louis has been di-
recting his attention to the finding of
a low-grade ore body that he thought
should be within the lines of the prop
erty. and last week was successful in
tapping it. So far it is a good-sized
body and of sufficient value to make il
profitable mining. The ore carries
gold, with but little silver.

Contract is Let For Power Line.

The Arizona Power company yes
terday made announcement that the
big contract for constructing the new
low elevation line up the Verde Valley
had been awarded to Ed. Kurmier and
William Neagle of this city. The
work will commence Immediately on
this big enterprise and the expecta-
tions are to finish it in at least three
months.
The line begins at the power house
on Fossil Greek and terminates at the
United Verde mine at Jerome, forty
miles distant. The project will entail
an expenditure of over lO0,OO0S, and was
decided upon recently by the company
as an emergency line in view of the
troubles experienced last summer and
winter on the original route. The
new service is located out of range of
either snow or rain storms, having
less exposed zone of danger than the

Installation of Equipment Begins.

At the camp of the Arkansas and
Arizona Mining company, near Jer-
ONE, the installing of one of the larg-
est and most complete mechanical
equipments in the county is now under
way, preparatory to the resumption of
the work on a scale that gives that
property very much interest and con-
sideration in practical mine operating
circles. A few days ago the last ship
ment from Jerome reached the works,
and beginning tomorrow the INSTALL
ing of the vast equipment will be COM
menced, the Elliott-Radley Construc-
tion company having the contract with

A Promising Properly.

The old York mine, near Congress
Junction, is attracting attention on
account of the high grade ores which
are being taken out in the process of
development. Work on the property
has been proceeding quietly but per-
sistently for some years, and depth
of 400 feet has been attained in the
main shaft. The property is owned by
Z. L. Bartholomew and James Reese.
These gentlemen have developed their
property to its present stage by their
own efforts, and no attempt has ever
been made to gain publicity or to in
terest outside capital. They are now
drifting on the 4OO-foot level, and ex-

Big Strike in Mayflower District.

For the past five years the Twin
Peaks Mining company has been pros
pecting in the Mayfower district,
about thirty-five miles south of Clifton
and near the New Mexico line. They
have had in use the most improved
methods to work Systematically. spar
ing no expense as the people on the
ground, the Frazer boys, had faith in
the district and their hackers had
faith in them.
Several shafts from l0O.to 200 feet
have been sunk on what is known as
the Gold Lead with good results, but
as work progressed a large amout of
water had to be handled.
A short time ago a shaft started on
a porphyry contact and the result is
that as depth was attained the values
increased, and last week the ore taken
at depth of 90 feet fairly bristles
with gold and wire silver.
The writer has not seen a piece of
the clear rock, but was shown a piece
that had been furnaced and it was
covered with globules of gold and sill

cess of the Fraser boys as they have
worked and boosted this

Holt Syndicate Sells its lands.

A Calexico, Cal, dispatch says: AS
intimated in the Chronicle several
months ago the California Land
company, which is the Holt syndicate
engaged in developing the $4,000 acre
colony at Cocopah, l6 miles from Cal
exico on the Inter-California railroad,
has sold out complete to the Cudahy
Packing company. The price is said
to be a million and quarter.
Published accounts of the sale give
some of the plans of the new owners
and foremost among them is the plant
ing of Is, 900 acres of cotton for next
year. The ranch will be highly de-
veloped and will no doubt become ore
of the finest in the world.
The deal is a masterpiece of w. F.
aolt's planning. He organized the n
ter-California company ant purchased
the land over year ago, having sur
veys made at once for watering the
entire tract. Then he interested the
Cudahys and their friends; the result
is a neat cleanup for the Holt syndi-
cate.
The plans for developing the ranch
will mean much for Calexico as this
city will no doubt be the base of sup
plies and it will have to be the port of
entry for all stuff taken into Mexico.

Denver Will Control zinc Dust Output

The United States Zinc company of
Pueblo and the Denver Fire Clay COM
pany of Denver seemed to have gained
control of the zinc dust manufacturing
industry in this country, and may
force Germany, the only competitor,
from the market in this country com
pletely.
This industry, according to officers
of the Fire Clay company, the sole
selling agent, will bring 3OO,OOOs an
nually in this city. The company has
long time contract with the zinc
company to handle its zinc dust pro-
duct, and the demand has become so
great that the Pueblo plant will be
greatly increased in size.
Zinc dust is essential in the reduc-
tion of gold ore by the cyanide process.
Every reduction plant using cyanida-
tion uses it in the handling of low
grade ores. Mining has resolved it.
self into a business of getting the
money out of the mountains of low
grade ores that abound in Colorado
and other western states, in contra
diction to the old-time method of look
ing only for high-grade or smelling
ores.
The Pueblo plant is manufacturing
and the Denver company is distribut
ing at present 500 pounds a day, re-
ceiving an average of 6 1-2 cents per
pound. The dust has been up to this

Revival of Old Properties.

While no extraordinary influence is
apparent, either in the financial or
mining world, there is, nevertheless,
a notable activity in evidence through
out all the mining camps, particularly
in the older ones, in which it seems
that there is a general renewal of
energy and accomplishment.
Camps that a number of years ago
occupied prominent place in public
affairs, but which have been forgotten
of late, are indicating their presence,
not by noisy acclaim, bat by actual re-
suits and the shipment of much ore.
Mining properties long abandoned, but
in which ore is known to have been
found in the early days, are quite as
much in favor for development as new
properties, and one or two instances in
this state alone during the past few
days suggests the wisdom of this pro-
cedure.
In the days when camps were in the
making, when the country was new
and when prospectors were, in the
main, looking for surface riches, much
good ground was undoubtedly over
looked, remaining neglected because
miners and prospectors of today reason
that their predecessors probably de-
termined its value. Ore streaks that
have been exposed in abandoned work.
ings for years are being found to
possess considerable value. Old prop
critics are being more closely investi-
gated than ever, with the result that
camp production is being greatly aug
mented.
In Leadville, for instance, a new
source of wealth is being found in
long-neglected bodies of zinc ore,
which until within recent years were
ignored because of the lack of salts
factory zinc smelling essentials, the
provision and improvement of which is
vesting many Leadville mines with
new Importance. Mines whose activity
is but a vague memory are taking on
prosperous appearances, and the
modern miner is searching old work
ings with gratifying success.
In Ouray, Georgetown, Black Hawk,
and other old Colorado camps, in Ari-
zona, Utah, California, Nevada, and
nearly all mining states, the same re-
newal of activity is evident. Not only
are old shafts and tunnels being ex-
tended, but new surface development
on old properties is being undertaken.
Underground workings which have
long been filled with water and debris
are proving avenues of greater wealth
than when they were the object of eff
fort years ago. Many of these old
workings given up as hopeless and
useless are in reality proving them
selves quite the contrary, and all the
eager hopes they have engendered are
being realized by those who are begin
ming where disgusted ones left off.
This return to the old timers is one |
of the most encouraging aspects of the |
present mining situation and promises !

N. J. Griffin, operating the North
Capital mine at Walker, was an ar
rival in the city yesterday. A recent
run of his output milled at Poland
gave good returns in gold bullion and
concentrates. He will continue de-
velopment, and is preparing to treat
the ore at the mine in his own mill.
Mr.. Griffin speaks highly of the gen
eral mine work in that active region,
and believes it is destined to rank as
the leading mineral division of the
county.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

Lively Times Among Silver City Mines
and Mills.

and Mills.
A Silver City dispatch says: August
was one of the liveliest for many
months in the point of ore crushed and
treated at the two leading stamp mills,
and in the number of claims being
worked by their owners or under lease
in this district. The McTigue mill
put through a good-sized tonnage of
nearly 400 tons, part of which came
from the Occidental dumps, the Un-
derground mine and the Undemuhl
lease. The ore was all of fair grade
and netted the parties interested a
very satisfactory clean up. 1t is also
stated that the McTigue mill is now
running on ore from a Yellow Jacket
mine dump in Gold Hill, located near
the hosting works, and that teams
started in last week hauling ore to the
mill. This will keep the McTigue mill
busily engaged for some time to come,
together with the usual tonnage of
custom rock.
The lS-stamp mill of the Nevada
Mining, Reduction & Power company,
more Familiarity known as the Davis
mill, had big run for the month of
August on custom ore, putting through
nearly 1000 tons, representing ore ex-
traction from a half dozen different
claims in the camp. A large proper
tion of the tonnage was furnished by
the lessee on the Hartford mine, sew
eral hundred tons being taken from
the mine and reserve dump. 1t was
one of the best months yet experienced
by the Hartford lease. Other ore for
this mill came from the Oest and the
Cassidy and johnson leases. II is un-
derstOod that the Ida mine has sus-
pended operations for the present and
that there was no run during August
at the Overland mill, the latter mine
being under lease. The Silver Hill
mine, also now under lease. yielded
an axcellent tonnage of low-grade ore
during the month, most of which was
taken from the slopes above the Hol-
man tunnel. The cyanide plants of
Woodbury., Donovan and Phillips kept
a good sized force of men at work, and
ran to full capacity on tailings from
the mills. The cyanide industry at
Silver City is one of the mainstays of
the camp. of course, the work of
greatest importance at the camp was
the continuation of extensive surface
equipment at the Hayward mine,
which is rapidly being transformed
into modern mining plant, and is
being provided with every labor saw
ing and economical device known to
the business. A large force of men
is being kept on the job, and the
monthly pay roll is large. When the
mine gets into full operation. it will
contribute largely to the prosperity of
the camp. The work is being watched
with a good deal of interest, for it has
been many years since mining on
large scale has been attempted at Sill
yer, although the camp is full of prop
critics of rich promise.

Run Away Car smashes into Depot.


Last Saturday afternoon quite a
wreck occurred at the A. 4 N. M. de-
pot, causing damage to over 1,OOOs.
Two carloads of copper got loose near
the machine shop and started down
the Chase creek cut and at every turn
gained headway, and as they neared
the yards the speed of the heavily
loaded cars was about 30 miles. The
switch was thrown for the freight de-
pot siding, where stood an empty, into
which they plunged, lifting the empty
off the track and on to the platform
and into the end of the depot, smash
ing the whole north end out and jam
ing and cracking the brick structure
from end to end. Bill Patterson,
switchman, rode the cars to the finish,
but on account of deficient brakes
could not check the cars or hinder the
wreck. Ed Parsons, one of the switch
men, was signaled to throw the switch
off the main line, which he did in the
nick of time or the runaways would
have smashed into a train made up to
go out, and thereby averted a more
serious disaster.-Copper Era.

They were seated in the engine house
when two boys came running in and
told of seeing a white deer at Lam
caster avenue and Lincoln streets.
The firemen hastened to the street
and were in time to see the animal
run along Lancaster avenue to a lot
adjoining houses belonging 10 Charles
