The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-05-27

tucson Citizen: Considerable
activity is reported from the South
ern Belle mine in the Catalina
mountains. Work on an extensive
scale will soon be commenced at the
Campo Bonito mine, which was re-
Gently taken over by a company
headed by Col. VIM. F. Cody, Buffalo
Bill"
Tucson Star: In Tellurium mine
No. at sixty feet the working shaft
passed through fine vein of ore and
a Seventy feet encountered another
vein. The entire shaft is now in ore
carrying gold and silver, without any
walls in sight. The extent of this
ore body is not yet determined
There are d series of veins parallel
ing each other, dipping toward the
shaft, two of which have been en-
countered in this shaft. AT the 100
foot level the veins to the south of
the shaft will be reached by cross
cutting.
Yuma Enterprise: The Yuma Mer-
camille company. by its secretary,
Jas Kilgore entered into contract
with the English Brothers to drfye
seventy feet of tunnel tor them on
their recent strike, and the work Is
to be done by August l. This means
that three shifts will be kept busy
during the next ninety days, and
that the men have faith in their
claims Besides opening their own it
will mean extra wealth for all the
mines in that section if they find
ledge matter as good as it appears
on the surface.
Tombstone Prospector: NJ. Nj.
Mills, a pioneer miner of Paradise
who is visiting in Tombstone, discov-
cred a deposit of marble almost
within the city limits near Comstock
hill The mari BILE has pink tint and
susceptible of high polish sample
submitted by Mr.. Mills showing same
to be smooth and fawless. The mar
BILE deposit is thought to be quite ex-
tensive and will at once be developed
by Mr.. Mills. Several samples show
varigated hues and notified designs
and if remarkable quantities are
found to be obtainable the quarry
would be a valuable one, as the mar
BILE would be desirable for decorative e
as well as for building purposes.
Mining Science: An important
case has come up in the court here
in which w. =. Fellows is the plain
tiff and the Tom Reed Co. is the
defendant. The issue involved is to
quiet title to two claims claimed by
the Tom Reed Co., which has made
application for patent to their group.
Mr.. Fellows has filed an adverse to
their purpose, hence the litigation
that is prevailing. The contention
involves a strip of about 500 feet lying
between two claims at the base OF
operations, which Mr.. Fellows con-
tends to open. At the other point
under controversy Mr.. Fellows con
tends that the company made no dis
covery of mineral to warrant the
granting of title under patent.
Mining Science: With 800 men the
Southern Pacific is rushing the build
ing of the railroad from Winkelmar
to Christmas as fast as possible, and
announcement has been made that
this line will be completed in si2
!
mas is about ten miles, and severa
years ago the roadbed for six mile
out of Winkelman was graded, whel
work was stopped by the courts Or
the old -oadbed two miles of rail
have been laid out of Winkelman
Part of the last four miles of thu
road has been graded and larg
force is now at work driving an SOC
foot tunnel. Only so far as Winkel
man the Southern Pacific has no in
tention of doing anything beyon
Christmas toward San Carlos unit
the government settles the Box Car
Won dispute. AT the Christmas min
sinking is in progress, and by tn
time the road is completed the con
pauy will be ready to begin shiT
ments.
Mining Science: AS conserve
tive estimate, the first of January
1911, is set as the date for the begin
ming of production of ore from tn
mine of the Miami Copper company
The concensus of opinion among th
members of the management is the
t within six months from date, or
the first part of November, the col
: ting plant, including the powt
plant and water system, will be cor
: pletely equipped d for handling dai
ore production of ] 900 TONS, whic
output will be increased short
afterward to 1000 tons, the tonnag
, for which the plant was original
designed. Although the constructiC
plans have been changed and tt
