ARIzoNA-NEvADA WILL
 RESUME IS REPORT

Ii is generally reported that the Arizona-Nevada Copper company, op- ersting until a short time ago onl Copper Creek, in the western part part of this county, will resume work.
 About one month ago they suspend ed operations, and the belief prevail ed that it would be several months before they would again enter the field, awaiting the termination of plans looking to the introduction of big mining and smelting facilities and the building of a railroad from Hill side station on the Santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix railroad.
 If the reports in circulation are true. which it is believed they are from what can be learned, the be- ginning of one of the greatest min ing projects in the West is assured. This is based upon what has been accomplished in the past two years by that syndicate in exploring their immense mineral domain, and cover ing a system of drilling that thor oughly established the existence of the red metal. Diamond drill ex- .ploratiops have been. conducted over an immense area and a depth of over. 800 feet, in many instances, has been reached In addition to this method, ehurn drilling has also been given, likewise terminating in a favorable showing.
 This syndicate has acquired, up to the present time, over 4,000 acres of ground, and practically every claim has received consideration in the range of determining the mineral values. An immense amount of mine machinery is also on the ground, and it would seem from these evidences the resuming of operations is to be attended win practical mine work with view to production, with the treating of the yield a necessary con sideration also.
 Associated with the beginning of work on this gigantic. mine under taking, the belief also prevails that railroad communication is to be es- tsblished with their mines. Survey ors are said to. be looking the eoun- try over at the present time, and from this movement the matter of rapid communication, it is believed, is to be taken up in the near future. Whether Hillside is to be the objec- tive point, or SeEgman, that is much further distant, will be selected, is not known. The latter is said to have the preference, the route of the proposed line running through a well wooded country and on a grade that carries less percentage than on the Hillside line.

coNsoIIDATIoN REGARDED
 AS CUTIE PROBABLE


 PHOENIX, ATiz, June 2.-Many of the best informed people in Bis bee are confident that the eonsolida- ton of the Calumet Arizona and Superior ( Pittsburg properties will soon be announced. The controlling interests in both companies are prae- tieally identical, and a merger of the two would, because of many economies, prove beneficial to each.
 Calumet $ Arizona has the ad- vantage of a large eash reserve and a smelting plant, but the mine has probably not over twelve years' life, while the Superior & Pittsburg has a larger territory and the recent de- velopments in the mine indicate a larger lease of life than in the Cal umet & Arizona.
 The two properties adjoin, and it is said that when the consolidation is effected the capacity of the smelter will be increased to bring up the combined production to 6O,O00,0OO annually.
 | The Calumet & Arizona has re- gently opened up a new body of f per cent sulphide, ore on the l ,45o foot level of the Oliver shaft and at the Superior ( Pittsburg a big body of oxides is being explored on the 1900, foot level of the Junction shaft, and on the 1,50O foot level of the Junction shaft the ore body has thus far been proved to be 50 feet wide and 100 feet long, with it's lim- its still undetermined.
 The Copper Queen company, which furnished electric light for the towns of Bisbee and Douglas, will prob ably supply electric power to Ei Tigre mine in Sonora, which is een- trolled by Kansas City capitalists, but in (which. the Phelps-DOdge com pany holds a large stock interest. Officials of the company have re- gently conferred with the manager of the PhelpsDOdge company in Douglas and should satisfactory terms be arranged the min and all maehin- cry will be operated by electric power and an electric railroad will also be constructed to the mine from Douglas.
 It is stated on good authority that the Phelps-Dodge company has agreed to finance the building of the new railroad from Silver Bell in Pima county to Port Lob0s on the Gulf of California, a, project of F. M. Murphy of Prescott, and this will be in accord with the present in- tention to extend the Fl Paso & Southwestern system by way of Benson, Winkelman and Kelvin to Phoenix, surveys for which are now being made.

JERoAfE REVIEW OF
 THE WEEK IN MINING
(Jerome Copper Belt.)


 Work continues on the United Verde Extension mine, and the body of ore opened up in the drift on the 500 foot level continues as one solid ore body, getting better with each shot. superintendent Cain has returned from Prescott and is busy at the mine. General Manager Fisher is also at the property.
 The work of unwatering thees&aft and drifts of the Jerome Verde is continued with the small pump so as to allow of no accumulation of water during the wait for the larger pump. This pump will arrive, we are inform ed by General Manager Campbell, in about two weeks, when it will be placed. Then no further trouble is an- ticipated The work of sinking the shaft to greater depth will begin.
 A crew in charge of Foreman Smith left here last week and work has o6dAA OHOh db NAC OAohU Island. After unwatering the shaft it is the intention to drift on an ex- posed ledge, cropping out at the bot tom of the shaft.
 At the Haynes Copper company property good progress is being made. The timbering of the cave is about completed. The showings in the main workings are looking exceedingly well, better than ever before. T. E. Camp bell, general manager, was nere today, and gave the above report. From pres ent indications the Haynes Copper company will make good to the share, holders
 The poles of the Arizona Power company are all in place and the man agement is now awaiting the arrival of the machinery at the Arkansas Arizona.
 Two shifts are working at the Hull and Cleopatra properties with Foreman Fender in charge and G ". Hull as superintendent and gen eral manager.

PICACHo MINE IS
 LOOMING UP AGAIN

TUCSON, Ariz., June 2.-After having lain idle SO long that many people in this section of the country had almost forgotten its existence, the once famous PieaehO mine, in the Cobalt Mountains, again loOmed up in the imelight of publicity in the local mining circles yesterday, with the announcement from an authentic source that one of the original rich ore bodies, long since lost, had been uncovered again. and that the prop erty gives every indication of be- coming one of the eOuntry's greatest pordueers.
 The Pieacho mine became famous as silver producer in the early '50s. It is located about sixty-fve miles southeast of Tucson and is we'll known to all old timers. In those days the richness of its ores was proverbial, and its very name was synonymous with wealth. It was ,-- iginally located by Tucson people, but eventually went into the hands of Juan Padres. Padres is well re- membered by the old settlers of the Tucson country as somewhat of a uniuue character. He established forty arastras on the property, and at one time had them all in opera tion, assisting in extracting the rich white metal from the grosser. In those days the ores were brought to the surface on the heads of Indians, who climbed up the shaft on nOtehed poles. The ores were shipped on OK carts and burros to Hermosillo and even to Guaymas, some of it being brought to Tucson and then shipped to San Francisco.
 It is known that the ores taken out of the mine in those days ran as high as 5000 ounces to the ton, and despite the primitive methods re- quired in mining and marketing it, the owner realized handsomely on his investment. Padres in those days was a frequent visitor to t1is city, and it was no uncommon thing for him to come here with many thOus- ands of dollars worth of the metal. He was a high liver, however, and the money was quickly spent after reaching Tucson.
 It was in the early 'S0s that the Apache Indians made a raid upon the property, killed the miners and broke up the workings at the mine. About the same time came the now famous drop in the market value of silver. These two incidents caused the abandonment of the property, and for many years it has been idle 80 long, in fact. that it has almost passed from the recollection of many people who, in the earlier days, were most familiar with it. It finally pass ed into the hands of Frank Hereford of this city, who, in turn, sold it to the Cabibi Mining company, a cor poration, and s. G. McWade of this city was made superintendent with instructions it is understood, to thor oughly explore the property for pos sible values. MT. MeWade has been engaged in this work for several months past, but it was only recent ly that his efforts were rewarded with any degree of success.
