United States circuit court of appeals

the commission, upon rehearing, adhere
to its first position and insist on the

Shawnee county may possibly adopt
some plan similar to the one talked

many more seasons pass.
The 154 acres in our poor farm,
said Commissioner Edwin E. O'Neil

and worth a lot Of money to the cOun-
ty. But We already need new buildings
and we must make up our minds 20
spend a large sum on new structures
CT else adopt a different plan of man
acement. The institution might be
moved nearer to the city on smaller
grounds for the old people whom the
county cares for are unable to do the
work OIL the farm"

The Consolidated Pioche Mines.

In commenting upon the order to start up work in the development and operation of the Consolidated Pioche mines, the Record, of that place, says:
 The Consolidated Pioche company owns the Ohio-Kentucky properties, consisting of the Susan, Duster and Greenwood mines, and the famous Raymond x Ely mine, which already has large record of production to its credit and with such wealth of ore exposed that it promises to outdo all previous efforts. The Consolidated Pioche mines contain the so-called "black ledge," an enormous body of ore which is capable of keeping a res pectable sized mill going for a genera tion.
 This ledge was discovered as far back as 1874 or 1875, and it was devel- oped to a good depth. The ore was found to contain an average of about IS to 5? gold, 3 per cent copper, 10 per cent Irau. fifty ounces silver and 20 per cent C nc. Repeated efforts were made hy the original owners to properly treat this ore for the market, and a mill was installed. Shipments were made to Swansea and other points. but no successful method of treatment had been evolved up to the time when the Pioche district was abandoned.
 This ledge. prospected to below the l ,2OO-foot level, therefore, is absolute ly virgin ore-it has never been stopped in any place and it extends clear to the surface. The Consolidated Pioche company for several months has had numerous experimental runs made at various protesting plants of the coun- try, and it has been fully demonstrat- ed that this ore can be brought down to a commercial basis, and that its metallic contents are not so intimately associated but what a separation can be made and the various necessary products secured for the smelters.
 It is the plan to reach this black ledge immediately, and to get it in shape for large production. By the time this development work is ID hand the plans for the big mill will be ready and immediate installation of the mill can be looked for.-Salt Lake Mining Review.
Mohave County miner., 1910-06-25

ded innumerable tons to the ore re- serves of the company. A year ago the ore reserves were equal in gross value to tax I6S per share, and today the tonnage is such that it's gross value will greatly exceed l6S per share. The company is capitalized at three mill ion shares. The Clara Consolidated has good chance of at least equaling the largest copper camps in the ter ritory.
 This increased capacity will insure ample water for the camp purposes and fire protection.
 This strike has created wide spread interest and will have a far reaching effect, since it demonstrated the im- mensity of the ore body. This big cop per bearing dyke cuts through the country for distance of three and a half miles and is practically covered by the Clara Consolidated locations Wickenburg Miner.
