Stockholders of Amalgamated Now Know
 How They SiA1d.

At last the Ama1gamated stock holder has some adequate conception of what he owns. He has always had the impression that he had an equity in certain shares of the Anaconda, Boston & Montana, Butte & Boston and other Montana properties but just how many he has never known and has never been able to find it out.
 Under pressure of the New York Stock Exchange and the proposed abolishment of the unlisted depart ment, Amalgamated has presented in great detail a statement of its assets and has now shown the exact owner ship which the company has in its various subsidiary properties.
 Of the 100000 shares of Anaconda, the Amalgamated Copper Co. owns a very small fraction over one-half or 62O,OOO shares. In the case of the Parrot Mining Co.,, the company also owns but bare majority and perhaps it is just as well for the Amalgamated stockholders that the percentage owned is no larger.
 Previous to the publication of the listing notice of the Amalgamated Copper Co.,, no one ever had the slight est inEling that the company was the owner of 100000 shares of the Greene Cananea Copper Co.,, although the impression has existed that the con- pany had a substantial interest in the Butte Coalition Mining Co. This is shown to amount to 50,OOO shares of the latter company's 100000 shares.
 One of the most impressive features of the report is the statement of the Big Blackfoot Milling Co. showing that that company had an ownership in l,095, ,5l3 acres of timber land con- taining 55,63l, ,O3O,OOO feet of timber This property has been capitalized at 25,000,0O0S in a new company, all the securities of which will be in the treasury of the Amalgamated Copper Co. It is quite possible that some time in the future the company will make distribution of these treasury assets to its shareholders.-Copp Era.

No Disturbance In Ray Camp.

Sheriff McGee received a hurry call from Ray, Sunday, for himself and a bunch of deputies. It was presumed here that riot was in progress at the mining camp, but the sheriff found peace and quiet reigning when he reached the town. It seems that one of the mining claims formerly owned by the Kelvin Calumet Copper Co.,, and sold.to the Ray Central company, extends across the fiat upon which the old town of Ray is situated and that while said property of the former con- pany, its managers sold about a dozen lots, situated within the boundaries of purposes, and that said lots have been, from the date of purchase, occupied by business houses. Not many days since the Ray Consolidated Company, which has patents pending for the remainder of the claim covering the fiat, required all temporary occupants to move of the ground and immediately erected wire fences around the premises. The persons removing took legal advice and were informed by their attorneys that patent could not, owing to the previous sale of lots, obtain a title to the surface of the ground, or at least to only so much thereof as may be nec- essary for the convenient work of the mine, and acting upon the further ad- vice of their attorneys the former oc- cupants proceeded to take possession of the surface ground and pitch their tents thereon. But this they proceed ed to do in an orderly manner and there were no indications of a riot. At this writing the matter remains in statue quo and it is quite certain that all parties to the controversy will re- sort only to a legal solution of the problem. That the situation will lead to long and expensive litigation is be- yond question unless an equitable com promise can be reached and we hope, for the good of camp. to see the latter speedily brought about.--Florence Blade Tribune.

Good Find At Sobia.

The new gold discovery at Sobia on the Rio Cedros, a few leagues above its confluence with the Mayo river, is attracting great deal of attention. The principal property is named La Junta," and Is owned by some twenty persons, the chief of whom are Lucio Garcia and Lucas Mendibles of Ala mos. Running through their de- nouncements are several ledges upon one of which has been done all the work-two shafts about l00 feet apart and 100 feet in depth, with some drifting. It is estimated that with that work there has been exposed an ore body worth about half a million dollars. The ores are rich in gold, and average about 250S gold per ton in value. A shipment of a carload made month ago went at that rate With it were a half dozen sacks of picked ore which assayed six kilograms in gold per ton. The second shipment of carload of ore Is coming into Alamos now, and as soon as it is all received it will follow the first to Fl Paso.
 Early last week a party of well known mining engineers went out to Sobia to visit the region, and they returned Tuesday evening well satis- fled that the ledge in which the devel- Opment was made is permanent, and will continue with depth, and that other ledges there will prove of value. -Nogales Oasis.

A. C. sriquetting Plant.

The new briquetting planG of the Arizona Copper company, which has been erected in the neighborhood of the shelter, is now completed and for the past few weeks test runs have been made. The building of the plant re- quired more time than was necessary on account of delay in the arrival of material and also on account of the fact that the excavation was difficult. The briquetting machine has proven successful, making the briquetts quite
Mohave County miner., 1910-04-02

rapidly and perfectly, but in the drying department some difficulties have been encountered which were not expected. The briquetts are delivered from the machine on an endless belt which travels through intense heat The object of sending the briquetts through the heat is to dry them thoroughly by the time they arrive at the bins in which they are to be dumped.
 On account of the large amount of moisture carried in the briquetts the present heating system is not suffi- cient to dry the bricks after the ma chine is in operation any length of time.
 Outside of the heating department it is understood that the plant works perfectly and the company officials are now working on a way to correct the present difficulties. This is an entirely new proposition and more of an experiment, but the A. c. con- 'pany has it far enough advanced to know that it is going to be a success. It will be a great thing for this con- pany when it is put into steady oper- ation.-Copper Era.

among other contentious has repre- sented that it would cost millions of dollars to make the alterations The attorney general, however, announces that the suit will be prosecuted vigor- ously, unless, as he hopes, the com pany will cooperate to terminate ex- isting conditions.
 At the department of justice the statement is made that the suit was not filed until every possible friendly means were exhausted.
 Efforts to secure a cessation of in- juries from the smelters were under way before the close of President Roosevelt's administration and the mining companies were then notified that suits would be brought unless definite action was taken to stop the wholesale destruction of forests by the distribution of sulphuric and arsenical fumes over a wide area. Instead of at tempting to remedy the situation, the companies, it is declared, represented to Mir. Roosevelt that they could op- crate their plants in no other manner than that in use.
 President Roosevelt ordered a full investigation and took a personal in terest in the hearings. The claims advanced by the Anaconda company. it is declaired, were not new, but were identical with those made in two other suits under which similar injuries were stopped; one case being by the government against the Montana Cop per Company, in California, and the other by the state of Georgia, against the Ducktown, Tenn, company.
 In each of these cases it was claimed adverse action would mean the closing of mines and smelters and the dis charge of thousands of men. Injunc- tions, however, were granted in both instances, but neither mines nor smell ters were closed. Instead, the com panies converted the harmful fumes into a valuable product and many ad- ditional men were given work.
 On behalf of the Montana smelters the contention was made that they could not convert the fumes into acid as had been done in California and Tennessee, because of their wholly different character.
 A full investigation of this claim by leading experts has satisfied the gov ernment of the feasibility of convert ing the fumes at Anaconda into acid and that there are large phosphate deposits near by that may be used with the acid in the manufacture of Fart;li.arS

Work Running On Double Track
 Construction.

The past week has witnessed scenes of great activity at Flagstaff. where are located the camps and outfits of the L. J. Smith contracting company. who will do the grading for the double track between Flagstaff and Williams, says the Flagstaff Gem. The outfits consist of steam shovel, small engines and cars for hauling dirt from the cuts to the fills, some hundred teams of mules, besides scrapers, blows and all that goes to make up we'll ordered railroad construction camp. The con- tract calls for the grade to be com pleted between Flagstaff and Williams in December, 1910. This will call for all the men the contractors will be able to get, which will be some 400 to 800. There are about POO at work now preparing a track for the steam shovel, which will start as soon as possible. From that time the work will go rapidly forward.
 The work between Winslow and a point two and a half miles west of Dennison will be completed in about a month. Lantry-Sharp will do the grading, between Williams and Ash Fork. Their representatives are in Ash Fork now, and the men and out fit will soon be making the dirt fy.- Albuquerque Journal.

Utah Con- is Ready to Send Ore to
 Smelter

A Bingham. Utah, dispatch says: General manager J. B. Risque, of the Utah Consolidated Mining company. has gone East to confer with the com pany officials. Previous to his depart ure it was learned that the aerial tramway from the mine in Carr Fork canyon over the mountain to the Inter- national smelling plant was practic- ally completed, and would be ready for operation on schedule time, April 1. While the International smelling plant will not be ready to begin smelt- ing this ore for several months, the receiving bins at the shelter will be ready for receipt of the ores. The smelling company is desirous of get ting a large stock of ores on hand, which will insure the regular opera tion of the furnaces during times when the mines may be hung up by reason of some mishap.
 So far as can be learned the object of Mr. RisquG's visit to the eastern offices at this time is to arrange for the transfer of the ores from the Gar field Smelling company to the Inter- national, and also to wind up the af- fairs between the Utah Consolidated and the Garfield Smelling company. The ores from this Bingham copper property have been going to the Gar field plant for two years, and will be transferred to the new shelter under a contract covering 10 years. By this change it is said that the Utah Con- solidated company can perfect a saving of IS a share each year, and by operat- ing its own tramway from the mine to the shelter a saving in transportation is made of 30 cents a ton. Altogether. it is said that Utah Consolidated can make a saving by these changes that will give the shareholders large pro- fits, which has been lost by a higher

Good Output For steptoe Shelter

During the first days of the present month the Steptoe shelter turned out l,OOO,0O0 pounds of blister copper, which is at the rate of 6,0OO,OOO pounds a month, and this splendid showing was made with only three units of the concentrating plant in operation. If all four units were in operation for the full month the output would be S,OOO,- GOO pounds.

Government Gong After Big SmeIter
 in Montana.

A Washington dispatch says: Satis- fled that the present methods of op- erating its smelters by the Anaconda Copper Mining company are not only destructive of the surrounding natural forests, but unnecessary, Attorney General Wickersham today caused a bill in equity to be filed at Helena. Mont, against the company.
 The bill asks for a permanent in- junction to compel the company to operate it's plant at Anaconda in such a manner as to end the destruction.
 The company has resisted the de- mand of the government, that the methods of smelling be changed, and

Ed. L. Waldron, who has been as sisting for some time past in erecting new shaft heads at the Christmas mines, came down to Florence Mon day to remain some time. Ed says the new development work on the Christmas mines is showing up great ore bodies. The old working shaft has been retimbered and will be driven down to a depth of 800 feet as fast as possible. A tunnel will then be driven from the P. & K. railroad to connect with the SOO-foot level of the shaft. At the portal of this tuDnel large ore bins will be erected with discharge gates high enough to drop the ore from the bins into the cars which will convey it to the Saco shelter. As there is a vast amount of virgin stopping ground above the 800 level the mines can be worked for many years without entailing any ex- pense for either hoisting or pumping, as both ore and water will be taken out through the tunnel, the former dumping automatically into the rail road ore bins and the water flowing into the river.-Florence Blade Tribune.

transportation and treatment charge during the past two years.
 Beginning with April 1, Utah Con- solidated will increase its output from 800 to from 1,OOO to I,2OO tons daily. Another feature which is very much in favor of the company increasing its earnings is the fact that better grade of copper ore is now being mined in the lowest workings.

Buried Arizona Village.

Much excitement is displayed in the discovery of buried village one mile down the Gila river from Dun- can. This was first found by NJ. $. Gonzales who started to dig a cellar on his homestead about two weeks ago. Since Mir. Gonzales reported the discovery, several local people have gone and worked in unearthing these buildings; several houses with three and four rooms have been dug out; in these are found bones, broken pot Jery, arrows and Iomahawks and fragments of various household articles of furniture common to prehistoric races. Some of these rooms are perfectly preserved and show skill in building.
 The village was located on a Mesa, and, yet, it is completely hidden, which goes to show some great dis turbance of the earth has caused the village to be covered. Some very interesting historic material is being gathered.

portunity to put the plant in excellent shape throughout, and as a consequence better work is now being done than ever before. In fact the plant is now running so well that it Is difficult for the mine end to keep up with it, hence the fact that only six sections are in operation. The ore is now coming from the bottom of the big pit, which seems to carry better values than the ore from the sides, where it was i'm possible, especially during the cold weather, to prevent the mixing of some of the Over-burden. In addition to the better grade of ore, the mill is also saving the values closer than heretofore, hence the plant is now run ming out copper at the rate of 6,000,- 900 pounds per month from six sections of the plant and from an average of 6,5OO tons of ore per day, which ex- ceeds all past records.-Searchlight Bulletin.
