Ray-Arizona Make a Payment.

Within the next few days the Ray
Arizona Copper company, which owns
forty-eight claims that adjoin the Ray
Consolidated for half a mile on the
south, will make a payment of S.OOOS
on the property, leaving but 25,OOOS of
the purchase price of 75,OOOS yet to be
paid. Since April, 1908, when the
property was taken over by the Ray
Arizona company, 5O,OOOS has been
paid TO the owners of eight different
smaller groups which make up the IS
claims. Col. P. T. McGrath. vice
president and general manager, stated
that plans have been practically COM
pleted for the expenditure of a large
sum during 1910 in development work.
Already 2O.OOOS has been expended by
the Ray-Arizona in assessment and
development work. As yet there are
but % stockholders in the Ray-Arizona
company, and with the exception of
Col. McGrath the owners are promi-
nent residents of Milwaukee, who have
full confidence in the future of the
property.
On account of its proximity to the
Ray Consolidated company, which is
erecting a 6OOO-ton concentrating plant
near Winkelman, the Ray-Arizona is
looked upon by mining men as one of
the most promising properties in the
Kelvin-Ray district. The dividing
line between the Ray-Arizona and Ray
Consolidated runs for half a mile along
the center of the bed of the Gila river,
the Ray-Arizona claims lying just to
the south of that stream.-Arizona

Ray Consolidated Ore Bodies Show
Great Thickness.

Increased thickness of the ore bod
les more recently developed by drill
ing in the estate of the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper company is proving an
important factor in adding to the ore
tonnage. A few months ago the aver
age thickness of the commercial ore
tested by drills up to that time was
about So feet. Increased thickness in
the newer ground has brought the
average thickness of the whole area
developed to about III feet. The
Boston Commercial says:
II is understood that the demon
strated ore in the Ray Consolidated
property now apprOximates 6O,0OO,OOO
tons, and the management is very
confident that it will ultimately de-
velop 1OO,OOO,OOO tons and probably
more. This ore will be mined under
ground by caving, which will cost
about 30 or 60 cents a ton more than
steam shoveling. Compared with
Utah Copper, however, Ray Consoli-
dated ores should yield at least six
pounds more copper to the ton on the
average, and they should little more
than pay for the extra cost of mining.
As a result. Ray Consolidated is ex-
pec,ed to make its copper at just about
the same cost a pound as the Utah
Copper company.
The company is financed and being
equipped and put in condition as rap
idly as is possible, for a large produc-
tion. If Ray Consolidated is to de-
velop lOO,O)).OOO tons of ore, which
will yield an average Of 80 pounds of

includes besides the Silver Queen prop
erty of 30 acres, adjoining claims ag-
gregating about 270 acres.
The provisional purchase price is
said to have been fixed at approxi-
mately 25O,OOO$, divided into payments
extending over Is months. The first
payment is to be made in 80 days.
No definite plans for operation on
the Silver Queen property have yet
been made public, but in all probabil-
ity work will be commenced soon.
A shaft several hundred feet deep has
been put down on the Silver
Queen land, but the property has not
been worked recently.
Engineer Flindr, who is connected
with the Gunn-T Thompson interests,
stated the other day that an option
had been taken on the Silver Queen
property and adjoining claims as we'll,
but that he was not in a position to
make public full details of the trans
action as yet.

Arizona Commercial Calls in Half a
Million of Bonds.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Arizona Commercial Copper company,
it was voted TO call in the SOC. COOS six
per cent bonds, convertible into stock
at par, 25S per share, says the Boston
News Bureau. Under the terms of the
deed of trust the company has the
right to call the bonds at los and ac-
crued interest, and must give notice
TO stockholders sixty days before any
interest date. The bondholders have
the privilege in the interim to convert
their bonds into stock on the basis of
25S per share for the stock of forty
shares for every 1,OOOS bond.
These bonds were issued September
l, 1908, to provide funds for the build
ing of a smeIter and for mine develop
ment. Under the present call the
bonds must be presented for payment
on or before March l, or converted in
TO stock previous to that time. After
that date the conversion privilege
ceases and the bonds will not bear in
terest. These bonds have been selling
in the market at around $50.
President n. L. Amster says: ''The
directors decided it was good business
judgment to wipe out the unnecessary
interest charge of 3OOOOS per annum
and also felt that the people who pur-
chased these bonds at par made sub
stantial investment. Inasmuch as
most of the large holdings are held by
people closely identified with the COM
pany, who are willing so convert them
into stock, the directors deem it ad-
visable and the time oDportune, for the
calling in of the bonds.
''The stock which was authorized
a year ago to take care of this con-
version is now in the treasury and
ready to be issued upon presentation.
When this new stock is issued for the
bonds, the total outstanding capital
will be l20.GO0 shares and the company
will still be one of the smallest capital
lied companies among the western
mines.
1.-The Arizona Commercial Copper
company is now producing property
outputting at the rate of between 4OO,-
600 and 100000 pounds per month. and
it could as easily output 100000
pounds per month at a cost of about
nine cents per pound, did we not con-
slider it better business policy to re-
strict our operations until we had
opened the 7OO-foot level.
'The engineers have estimated that
the 7OO-foot level alone should develop |
more high-grade ore than all the |
higher levels together. On account
of the heavy flow of water, however,
it may be slow work opening in the
7th level. My reports from the mine
are that all the Slopes are looking ex-

Satisfactory Trial Run of Big Pumps.

The trial runs on the two new large
Prescott pumps of the Tombstone Con.
Mines Co. were made yesterday and
! the machinery found to be in excellent
working order and exceeding the ex-
pectations of the mine management
The pumps will now be pressed into
regular service. Added TO the capac-
ity of these pumps, eight sinkers are
to be installed, four of which will be
operated by compressed air furnished
by the 5000 0-foOt-per-minute compressor
now nearly completed and ready for
test run within a week. The other
sinkers will be operated by steam, an
additional 25O horsepower boiler be-
ing expected daily, to be added to the
present boiler capacity.
These brief facts show the immen-
sity of the task undertaken, which is
being pursued and carried into prac-
tical effect, all part of the policy out
lined, and foreshadowed in these col
umns upon numerous occasions, which
are being pursued with the character
istic determination of the company.
The water problem will be attacted
in earnest, and early in the new year
rapid inroads are expected to be made
in the shaft to overcome the setback
from the recent historic and costly ac-
cident that flooded the lower levels.
Meanwhile. regular shipments to the
smelters are being made, and the T.
G. NJ. Co. and its heroic demonstration
of faith and persistency Is without a
parallel. The obstacles by which this
splendid company has been confronted
are dissolving day by day under con-
ceDtrated judgment and energy, and
but su"elv Tombstone is

year 1910 indeed presents a vista of
glowing promise. se.-Tom bstone Pros

S. P. Extension to Mammoth

Grant Bros. sold to Contractor Sny-
der, this week, forty fine Missouri
mules, to be used by the latter in
finishing the grade of the Ray Con-
solidated Copper company's railroad
spur, extending from Winkleman up
to their mill site. II will take about
three months to complete this work
and then Contractor Snyder will, We
are reliably informed, transfer his en-
tire grading force and equipment to
the San Pedro valley, opposite Win
kelman, and begin gra6ing the S. P.
line up the San Pedro to Mammoth
from which point spur will be con-
structed up to the Copper Creek mines
by the G. & A. and the Sibley Mining
companies. As TO whether or not the
S. z. company will extend the line
from Mammoth on to Benton in the i'm
mediate future is somewhat problemet-
ical at present, but that it will do so at
some time in the future is beyond doubt,
as the valley extending from Mammoth
to Benson is pregnant with agricultur-
al possibilities and the mountains
skirting the valley on either side are
rich in minerals of every kind and
railroad transportation is the only
thing needed to start extensive devel-
opment work in those rich mineral
fields.-Blade Tribune.

Rapid Travelling in Sutro.

\ Virginia City, New, dispatch says:
Two additional velocipede cars have
just arrived for use in the Sutro tun-
mel. making three in all now being
employed for rapid transit purposes
over the miles of trackage in the main
tunnel and the two laterals. They are
proving immensely practical in the
tunnel. allowing track men, foreman,
night watchman and others to cover a
big distance in quick time. 1t is
stated that trips are made regularly
from the c. & G. connecting drift in
the north lateral tunnel TO the portal
of the main tunnel at Sutro in 30 min
utes, a distance of over four miles,
which demonstrates the great value of
these cars in covering ground in short
time
There has been one car in use for
a considerable period and has been so
useful and in such constant demand
that two or more are to be pressed in
to service, two to be located at the
west end of the tunnel and one at
Sutro. The tunnel is also being equip
ped at the present time with the clock
system for the night watchman and
will be in operation very soon, which
means that the tunnel is being patroll-
ed at all points. The new velocipede
cars make this possible and frequent
trips to all locations will be required.

nous amount of assessment work in
order to hold its property. The Key
stone drill which has been working on
the Celtic group the past nine days is
making excellent headway in hard
quartsite and as far as it has proceeded
is giving perfect satisfaction. That
the drill is doing its work well there
is no doubt and after 100 feet depth is
obtained the machine will commence
doing fast work, as there will be more
force to the blows struck by the mas
sive eight-inch drill. Almost from
the surface the drill has been working
in ore, which is also of much satisfac-
tion to the company. II is probable
that the first hole will be continued to
several hundred feet depth before an
other hole will be started. The Key
stone drill so far has proven that it is
the proper thing for developing at
depth and il will be possible for the
Coppermines company to prove its
ground at a depth of more than 500
feet. This is a great advantage as it
will permit the company learning the
value of its property at depth at a
mparatively tride cost. Few of the
mines of the Clifton Morenci district
have been proven at 500 feet depth,
and all those that have shown big ore
bodies of excellent value. The second
drill of the Coppermines company will
be started in operation today on the
Keystone group of claims and from
now on their progress will be watched
with much interest by the mining in
terests of this district. Within the
next six months there will probably 4
be a number of eight-inch holes sunk |
at various places on the Coppermines
Era.
