Jumpers We're Active.

Arrivals from the Rich Hill coun-
try near Prescott, say that on New
Years Eve and just at that hour
when claim jun oers stealthily mean
der to any hole in the ground that
was sized up as supporting fine indi-
cations, the side hills on both sides of
the long gulch in that zone were
more like a gorgeous electrical dis
play than anything else they could
compare the scene to.
The flicker of the moving lanterns
was like the glare of the electric
hillside for miles was practically
alive with the tiny lights as they
cleaned out of the dark and stilly
night. One energetic concern in
that field had, it is said, twenty-five
men "staked out" to plaster a GER
tain zone, while the individual was
likewise onto his job to pick up a
derelict or two.
The occasion of the stampede to
that particular locality was due to
the strike on the Golden Ridge and
the Rincon mines, and the ambition
of the locators was to get as close to
these mines as possible, and as quiet
ly as he could. The big array of
lighted lanterns was such as has
never before been seen in that coun
try, this being the first time such
decided and animated interest to get
in on the ground floor was shown.
Hundreds of locations were made
and the monument building con-
tinued until the new year crept up
over the eastern horizon under a full
head of sunshine. This is the first
time something like the olden day of
stampeding to a favored locality was
witnessed and each locator like
"Colouel Sellars and His Millions In
It, is imbued with the same senti-
ment, that he is fixed for the rest of
his natural life and has the best
ground there is in sight.

Inspiration Makes Preparation for big
Plant.

The preliminary excavating and
grading work for the installation OF
the machinery to be employed in the
tunnel work at the Keystone Gulch by
the Inspiration Copper company is
rapidly nearing completion. A large
force of men is employed. in the con
struction of a wagon road from the
Joe Bush shaft, where the old road
ended, to the tunnel site location,
about one-half mile to the southwark.
At the Joe Bush shaft the four cross
cuts are being continued past the two
hundred and fifty foot points, and are
developing ore which had been located
by the churn drill work during the
summer and fall.
The Scorpion shaft, from which
crosscutting will be Idone to explore
the ore body which this shaft passed
through during the summer, is being
put in condition for the level work.
The station work is about completed
at the two hundred and seventy-five
foot level, from which this crosscut-
ting will begin. The churn drills are
prospecting the territory to the west
ward of the Joe Bush shaft, ahead of
the crosscutting in this direction
from this shaft.-Globe Belt.

Arizona Loses the Lead as Copper Pro.
ducer.

All Arizonans are deeply interested
in the mineral resources of the
United States, since this virgin terri
tory is beginning to take her place
among the richest of all mineral sec
tions in the whole world. The figure:
just published by the geological de-
partnent of the United States fol-
the year just ended are not only pub
lished earlier than usual but furnish
ed at least one surprise. Arizona
was budged out of her pride place in
the production of copper for the year
1908, being topped again by Montana
according to the advance figures
Montana leads by small margins.
however, and when the Globe district
enters the field heavily during this
year it is freely predicted that Ari-
zona will take the lead and keep it
from that time on. Montana is a set
tied copper district, while Arizona is
only so in spots. There are many
districts which will come to the front
during this year, with the opening up
of the money market, and this will
materially increase the output OF
copper for this territory. The re-
port follows:
statistics and estimates received
by the United States geological sur
vey from all plants known to produce
blister copper from domestic ores and
from all lake mines indicate that the
copper output from mines in the
United States in 1909 surpassed all
previous records
"According to the statistics and
estimates received the output of
blister and lake copper was LILY $780,
600 pounds, as against 942,570, ,720
pounds in 1908, an increase of over
Is per cent. This not only exceeds
the increase of any previous year
but it is considerably greater than
the total pearly increase since 1904.
montana shows a large increase,
again taking first rank, place lost
to Arizona in 1907. The production
in Montana will yearly equal or will
possibly exceed the states previous
record output, 3l4, 100000 pounds,
made in 1905. Arizona holds second
place, with slight increase over the
SO 1923, 900 pounds produced in 1908.
Michigan alse exceeded the 1908 pro-
duction of DDS, ,2S9, 900 pounds. Large
gains were made by Utah and Ne
vada, and California also increased
its output considerably"

"The TaiIineS.

RepresentiYe farmers of the valley
met in Judge Coltons Office in Stafford
and the meeting being called to order
with VIM. Gillespie as chairman ant
John Birdno, secretary, the object
of the meeting being stated, viz, thai
it was called at the request of the
Arizona Copper company representa-
tive Mr.. E. M. Williams, of Clifton
who desired to submit an offer from
his company regarding the tailings
suit against his company, that is now
before the Supreme Court of the Ter.
ritory. In brief Mr.. Williams stated
that if the valley farmers would
agree to suspension of judgement
or injunCtions, against his company,
they would agree to haYe the farmers
to appoint a proper person to see
that the Arizona Copper company
kept their shines and tailings from
their works out of the river, and that
the company would bear all expenses
after and see that the company did
comply with their agreement. Mr..
Williams claimed for his company,
that they were now prepared to take
care of all their tailings but that they
did not want to be held responsible
for what other companies operating
in the Clifton-Morenci district might
do with the debris from their works,
and that the reason that his company
wanted this agreement was that in
case OF accident or other unavoidable
causes so they would not be held liza
BILE by the valley farmers for violat-
ing the injunction of the courts.
The consensus of opinion among
those present was for the supreme
court to confirm the decree of the
lower courts and then if the decree
could be modified and still be effective
in case of violation by the Arizona
Copper company the valley farmers
would agree to anything reasonable
as it is not their desire to work un-
necessary hardships on the mining
company.
Following out the first suggestion
the meeting through a subcommittee
appointed by the chairman selected
the following representatives to go
to Phoenix and confer with the at
torney of the valley people as to the
legal points involved in and after
agreement with the Copper company,
and also to consult with the valley
attorney Mr.. Armstrong as to the
best methods to proceed against the
Detroit Copper company of Morenci,
to stop them from depositing the tail
ings from their concentrators in the
river.
The committee appointed to go to
Phoenix are: w. T. Webb, Oscar
Webster, R. G. Layton, w. A. Giles
pie and H. W. Bishop; alternates
Phil C. Merrill of Pima and w. r.
Chambers, of Solomonville.
The offer of the Arizona Copper
company to defray the expenses of
the committee to Phoenix, was de-
clined and each member will bear his
own eXpenses.-Bulletin

Railroad Work Bringing Mining Men to
Sonora,

J. Morgan Clements, of New York,
one of the best known mining en-
giueers of America, reached Bisbee
following a visit during which he In
spected the mining field of the west
coast of Mexico, and upon which he
spent the better part of a month.
Mr.. Clemens pays a visit to this
city semi-annually in order that he
may learn first hand the progress of
the surrounding mines. This is his
second trip within the last twelve
months.
In the portions of Sonora and Sin
aloa which he visited especially in
the territory bordering upon the
Yaqui river and surrounding Mazat-
Ian, mining industry has taken dis
tinct stride toward the front within
the last few months, he states. Min
ing men from every portion of the
world are visiting the districts which
will shortly be afforded ample facili-
ties for shipment of ore and bringing
in mine machinery and other neces-
saries. Each investigator is looking
for properties as near the line of the
proposed Yaqui river extension of
the Cananea, Yaqui & Pacific as
possible. AS Mr.. Clemens expresses
it, they are "trying to get into the
good things as soon as possible and
as cheaply as may be-" Prospecting
is therefore booming.
In speaking of eastern conditions
Mr.. Clements expressed the belief
that the huge dividend distributions
of January would give 1910 an i'm
petus for betterment and general
prosperity which augurs well for the
entire year. Fasteners in every
line of business. are extremely hope
full on that account.
Mr.. Clements refused to state the
exact nature of his business in Mex
leo, further than as quoted above,
nor would lie mention specific in
stances of properties visited. He
intends spending day looking over
the local field, possibly going under
ground at some of the shafts where
recent ore strikes have been made.

MINING LAW.
Legal Definition of A Mining Partner.
ship. Road Building As Assess
ment Work.

| prepared especially for The Mining Review by
Clark Ross Mahan, attorney-at-law. Citizen.
National Bank building, Los Angeles.)
The questson has been freque ntly
asked of the writer, "How is a min.
ing partnership formed" and in what
way does it differ from an ordinary
commercial partnership" Perhaps
no better answer can be given to
these two questions than by quoting
from the recent case of 10y v. AL
ston, 172 Federal Reporter p. 90, as
follows: ''A mining partnership diff
fers in some respects from the ordi-
nary commercial partnership. 1t
may be formed, continued, and dis
solved in either of two methods, (l)
by the usual partnership agreement,
or (2) by the joint ownership of un-
divided parts in a mine or lease and
by the operation of a mine or lease
by some of the joint owners with the
consent or aquiescence of the other
Joint owners. A commercial partner
ship is dissolved when one of the
partners disposes of his interest, but
a mining partnership, which results
from the operation of a mine by
some of the joint own ers with the
consent of the others, is not dis
solved by the conveyance by one of
these owners of his interest in the
mine or the lease to a stranger; but
the grantor then ceases to be a
member of the co-partnership, and
the stranger becomes a partner in
place. The delectus peronae which
is an essential element of an ordi-
nary partnership is not an indispensa-
bic attribute of mining partnership.
ROAD BUILDING AS ASSESSMENT WORK
In Washington a statute provides
that mining district may make the
building of a road to a mining claim
or claims within the district applica-
bic as assessment work upon such
claim or claims, provided that the
district rules pertaining to such road
building shall be made only at pub
lie meeting of the miners of the dis
trict called bv the mining recorder;
and in Sexton V. Washington Mining
and Milling company, reported in
I04 Pacific Reporter, p. GA, it is held
that this statute applies only to or
ganized mining districts; that indie
pendent of any such statute work
done upon miuing claim or outside
of the claim, if done for furthering
the development thereof, is as ayail-
able as assessment work as if done
within the boundaries of the claim
itself; and further, where there is no
organized mining district, as was the
fact in that case, the building of a
road to be used in the general devel-
opment of the mining property is do
ing of assessment work within. the
meaning of the mining law.
