LIVE OAK STRIKE MAKES
STEAM SHOVEL POSSIBLE
Arizona Company Proposes to
Install Machinery and Ini-
tiate New System

GLOBE. Ariz., Dec 24.--Fspecially
important to the mining industry in
the Miami district is the recent strike
of orc made on the property of the
Live Oak Development company. The
strike tends to show the possibility or
mining in that district by means OF
the steam shovel which will so mate
rally reduce the cost of mining IN
comparison with underground working
that it will greatly enhance the value
of all the mines in the district and
make it necessary to construct concen-
traitors of enormous capacity to handle
the ores.
The recent find of ore was made in
hole No so, which is being drilled on
the Sulphide claim, and ore was dis
closed at a depth of sixty feet from the
surface. and at the present depth of
the hole, 100 feet the drill is in orc
which will assay over 4 per cent cop
per. The average value of the copper
ore for the forty feet already disclosed
is over per cent.
Hole No. 80 is in a section OF the
property heretofore uneXplorcd either
by churn drills or underground work
ings, and the disclosure of ore at this
point means very large extensions to
the already enormous tonnage develop
ed in the Live Oak property.
Probably the most encouraging fea-
turc of this discovery is the shallow
Gaping over the ore body. making 1t
possible. if a sutiici, mt tonnage ia
shown in that section, for the use of
steam shovels in mining the ore. This
will materially reduce the cost of pro-
duction of the ore as in comparison
with the present plans for underground
working.
Taken all in ali this strike is one of
the most important of the many which
have been shown up by the churn-
drills on the companys properties.

on the Gold Bar and Victor claims I
the c. q. D., the c. Q. d. company
working through the Victor shaft ana
two strong leasing companies operat-
ins through the Slls shaft of the cold
Bar. Systematic exploration OF the
Victor is in progress on the 40 level
where the vein has turned very llat
in it's pitch to the northeast The pros
pect is very encouraging, although only
low values are being secured at pres
ent. Other work is being done on the
200 level, where a new streak OF ore
was recently opened.
The Ohio Leasing company, when
is backed by strong financial interests
centered in Cleveland. is drifting east
erly on a vein cut by the Siils shaft
at the 600 level, and the Iowa Leasing
company is cross cutting southwest on
the 600 level to develop the old Kan
sas City lease block.
A considerable body of good ore was
opened in the Kansas City workings
at depth OF about 200 feet three or
four years ago. and the Iowa company
anticipates finding something pretty
good with the work that is now in

OLD ARIZONA TIP TOP

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 2l.-The old Tip
TOP mine, one of the historical silver pro-
ducers in early days, is on the eve Of again

car level was the point where work was
conferred +. G.. Wagner has received advices
that this important undertaking had been fin

ing the face CT the drift where work was
suspended over twenty-four years ago. AS
This work progressed from a point 800 feet in,
there was taken out a good grade of concen-

AUBURY STANDS PAT
IN EARNEST PROTEST

Lewis +. Aubury, state mncTalOgtst,
has sent to every board Of trade, cham
Der of commerce, promotion board and
commercial organizations of all de-
scriptons in California, having for
their purpose the promotion of the well
fare of California, a set of resolutions
in favor of a square deal on the part
of the supervising architect of the
treasury department at Washington,
when public buildings are to be con-
structed in this state by the federal
government. The organizations have
been appealed to by Aubury to put
themselves on record, not only by the
adoption of resolutions, but also by an
expression of their views This will
result in the greatest concerted action
in behalf of Californias home indus
tries that has been taken to date.
This campaign is connected with the
work at washington which was be-
gun with the writing of a letter to
President Taft by Aubury and was fol-
lowed up with letters addressed by
Aubury to the individual members of
the California congressional delegation,
in which they were requested to call
upon the president in a body and talk
to him concerning discrimination
against California, a theme that has
been attracting wide attention and
that has already been made the sub
iect of action by the Home Industry
League of California, California de-
velopment board and other influential
reaniZationS.

RENO CONTEMPLATES AN
IRON SMELLING PLANT
Ore Deposits Near Nevada Town
May Be Turned Into
BeSSemer Steel

Within three miles of Reno is one
OF the most valuable iron ore deposits
in the United States. 1t is not only
matrix containing a high percent
age of the best quality of iron, but
it also carries uniform gold values
of $3.50 to the ton.
This deposit is owned by Henry
Ritter and his claims are cut in the
center by the ada-California-ore-
gon Railway company, affordinS
splendid opportunities for shipment.
The deposit has been opened to a
depth of only sixty-five feet, but above
this level there are 10000 tons of ore
in sight, blocked out on three sides.
Owing to lack of home market,
only about 1000 tons of ore have thus
far been shipped from the property.
Some of it was used by the Ren9
smelter, where it proved a splendid
lux, saving also the gold values, while
other shipments were made to Los
Angeles
Some time ago a quantity of the
ore was sent to Pennsylvania, whore
it was pronounced uneXcelled for the
making of Bessemer steel. The per-
centage of the ore is unVarylng, be
ing about 55 per cent.
At depth the gold values seem to
be growing. and it is the belief OF
mining men who have studied the
property that the iron is only the
Gaping for a big ledge that will run
high in the noble metals, but Mr..
Ritter is satisfied with the iron val
ucs and is now drifting on the sixty
iVe-foot level.
The foundries in this city pay a
heavy price for the pig iron they i'm
port, and this could be supplied at
home at a vastly less price, while the
weld
.ofit.
The development Of the property,
whlic the iron ore is being extracted,
wSuld also prove whether or not the
deposit changes from iron to gold at
depth, in which case Reno would have
another mining excitement greater
than that which took place when the
Wedcknd deposit was opened. The
plans for the development of the
property are still in the air, but they
will take some tangible form before
long

CHICO. Cal, Dec. 24.-There have
been no developments today in the
Whiteline poisoning case. The analysis
of the dead woman's stomach has not

The belief Is growing, however, that
the death of Mrs. Whiteline and the

were caused by poisonous food. Mrs.
Corey is recovering rapidly, though she
remains reticent and has made no sat

which shows the strong character
of the ground. 1t is absolutely

There is one well on the ground
500 feet deep, with S-inch casing in
about IS feet of five separate strata
of oil sands. The neighboring wells
are reckoned as producing 200 bar
rels each per day. r. Baker, Oil
Well Commissioner for the Coalinga
District, says that this well, when
cemented up. will be good for $50
barrels per day at least. The ce-
menting will be finished early in
January and the we'll put on the
pump. Pipe lines and a railroad
are at hand. The oil will be deliv-
cred to Il pipe line and storage
company as fast as pumped, and
under the new storage certificate"
plan the oil produced becomes at
once a cash asset.
There is one complete drilling
Standard rig, with boiler, engines,
tools, etc, and other improvements
on the ground valued at $40 900. all
of which is included in the lease.
The land is patented and is leased
to the company for $3.50 cash per
month until such time as a royalty
of Is net of the oil produced shall
equal the cash rental, which then
gives way to the royalty. The
Company is under contract to drill
four more wells on the ground.
Wells here are less than 5000 feet
deep, and cost about $20,00Q each.
While it is proposed to make the
