construct a reduction works of its
magnitude.
"Almost all the machinery needed
has been delivered since the Arizona
and Swansea railroad from Bouse on
the A. and G. has been completed to
camp. Several hundred men are
employed grading and in construc-
tion and the work of getting the plant
installed is being rushed with all pos
sible rapidity. George Mitchell, the
managing director of the enterprise, is
at Swansea in charge of the work.
"Teams and men are grading for
sidetracks and buildings at the ter
minus of the railroad at the smelter.
A large number of mechanics are also
employed in the erection of buildings
for homes for employees and camp
purposes.
General Manager Mitchell has a
beautiful home in Swansea. The
grounds are being planted in trees and
palms. All classes of seni-tropical
vegetation thrive in Swansea and the
place will in time be not only one of
the most important mining centers of
Arizona, but will as well be a pictur-
esque and desirable place of residence.
IAN important feature of the CON-
pany's policy is that the highest wages
are paid to employees and mechanics.
This is an attraction for the best
citizenship. 1t appears to be the policy
of the management to encourage the
best talent in mining and smelling to
locate there permanently. y."-Prescott

Rich Discovery Reported in Brad.
shaWs

From various arrivals in the city
during the past few days, reports are
brought of an immensely rich strike
having been made several days ago in
the western slope of the Bradshaws,
near the Bodie mine, in silver bearing
ores.
The names of the lucky owners are
said to be Merritt and Duncan, and
the discovery was being carefully con-
cealed by them, both saying that they
did not desire any notoriety, and re-
fused to give any information to the
occasional traveller that passed their
camp.
They are sacking the ore, and
eleven sacks were seen on the ground
where they made the strike. The ore
is said to carry strong resem blance
to the chlorides taken from the Peck,
and was undoubtedly of heavy value.
Nothing could be learned of the ex-
tent of the vein being worked, and the
owners were non-communicative and
desired to operate without any publi-
city whatever. Both are prospectors
and have been in that section for sew
eral weeks, arriving last winter from
Colorado.-Prescott Journal Miner.

Clara Consolidated Make A Big
Showing

That the Clara mines at Swansea
now being opened by the Clara Con-
solidated Gold and Copper Mining
Company will, with development,
prove as great as the United Verde
mines of Jerome, is the opinion of John
Lindell, who arrived home this after
noon from visit to Swansea.
"There is no longer any doubt but
that the Clara properties will prove
in time as rich as any gold and cop
per properties opened in recent years
in Arizona" Mr.. Lindell declared to
a Courier representative. Opera
tions in the mine are confined strict
ly TO development. Five shafts are
being sunk from each of which drifts
are being run, all producing ore. In
fact l was reliably informed there
that the ore tonnage now blocked out
in the mine is sufficient to keep the
smelter now being erected running
day and night the next two years.
"The smelter under construction
will when finished be of the largest
capacity of any similar plant in the
entire territory. The management
expects to have it ready to blow in
soon. All of the machinery is the
latest and most modern in pattern.
The plant, when completed, will be as
nearly automatic as it is possible to

Mexico is the first government to
adopt extensive plans of mineral pros
pecting on federal account. In Mex
leo City there was recently organized
a cooperation which will provide itself
with large equipment of diamond
drilling machinery. With this con-
cern the authorities of the Republic
have contracted for borings all over
the country, it being stipulated that
the diamond drillers shall turn over to
the state department full data as to
every region explored, with detailed
transcripts of their findings of coal,
oil, the various precious metals and
all geological conditions, also submit
ting drill-cores wherever possible.
The result will be a fairly complete
underground map of Mexico, showing
formations to an average depth of
about three-eights of mile, by means
of which the Mexican government will
be able to post prospective investors
and explorers more reliably and thor
oughly than is done by any other
country. Actual work in the dia-
mond-drill tracing of this subterranean
chart will begin in short time.-Min-

United States Smelling Company May
Builj Road In Nevada.

A Salt Lake City dispatch says
The loss of the Eureka & Palisade
railroad, which gave an outlet to Salt
Lake valley for the ores of the United
States Smelling company at Eureka,
New, is said to have caused this con-
cern TO join in the building of a new
road from Ely to Ward, in White Pine
county, in order TO secure the neces-
sary combination OF ores for its smelt-
er from the mines of the Nevada Unit
ed at Ward. The Eureka & Palisade
line was recently abandoned, leaving
the United States company without a
supply of huxing product from its
Nevada properties.
1t is claimed that the United Mines
company's properties at Ward contain
bodies of low grade lead ore which
rank among the largest in the United
States. The company about four years
ago took over several old minss in the
district which in early days had been
worked as hign-grade silver producers
IL has since been developing them
upon a broad scale, with results olt of
the ordinary. 1t was announced at the
company's annual meeting, held last
January, that the mines were in form
for large production and that the great
need was line of railroad from Ward
to Ely, about IA miles.
No action toward constructing the
railroad was taken so far as the public
knows, however. until within the last
few days, or closely following the an
nouncement of President NJ. L. Requa,
of the Eureka & Palisade Railroad
company. that his line would probably
be not rebuilt.
The United Mines company's prop
critics were examined last winter by
G. Z. Allen and J. Fewson Smith, local
experts of the United States company
The impression prevailed at that time
that the United States people were
negotiating to purchase the properties,
but if they were the deal fell through.
The examination, at any rate, served
to inform the company of an importan.
source of supply of fluxing ore, and it
is likely that the information is now
being taken advantage of.
1t has recently been reported from
Ely that the preliminary survey for a
railroad from the properties of the Ne
vada United Mines company at Ward
to connect with the Nevada Northern
railroad has been completed by R. E.
Cowden, civil engineer in the employ
of that corporation.
When the different levels for the new
road have been ascertained, Mr.. Cow
den will submit an estimate to the di-
rectors of the company as To the actual
cost of constructing the road.
According to the present lines the
road will be II miles long. and an av.
erage grade of per cent has been
obtained for practically the entire dis
tance. The worst stretch of road will
have per cent grade for half
mile.

AT BROADWAY THEATER. Fritzi Scheff in The Prima Donna.

It was Fritzi Scheff and not the play which attracted the large mum bers to Broadway theater on Friday evening for The Prima Donna. by Blossom and Herbert. a comic opera in two acts. has not alone the quail ties of attraction. 1t does not appeal and there is but little singing in com parison with what might be expected. Madame Scheff wears some becoming gowns and her sweet and well trained voice is heard once or twice, but the audience would liked to have heard much more. As Mile. Athenee she was very good and as her fame had out to greet her here, although many had heard her in much more pleasing roles than in The Prima Donna.
 John F. Hazard as Pop" carried out the comedy of the piece and show ed that he has the ability. His work as the musical director of the French cafe was excellent, and he sang sev- eral songs which made a hit. among which was I Was Surprised. and I'd Be Married to the Music of a Military Band. There was a large chorus. but they sang very little. gracing the scenes on most occasions. The sec ond act was much better than the and handsome gowns. while the de- bauch of the first act was eliminated In both acts there was some clever toe dancing by La Noveta, which won a big hand and at the close of the first act several curtain calls were given Fritzi Scheff. There were few encores although Madame Scheff was obliged to repeat her last selection. in which she gave a clever example Of her sing ing abiI$y.

IRA w. JACKSON LEAVES
 BROADWAY THEATER
Management Closed After Perform ance by Fritxi seheff-Had Held it for Fifteen Years.

On Friday evening, with the close of the performance by Fritzi Schen, Manager Ira w. Jackson closed his management of the theater which he has held for the past fifteen years MT. Jackson was here during the eve ming. being greeted by many of his friends. The theater now goes into the hands of s. 2. Poll, who will re- decorate it and make number of changes, it Is expected
 During the fifteen years of MT Jackson's management the theatrical business has undergone big change, for where once it was possible to get the best attractions. it later became so that it was necessary for the man. agers to take what the booking agents felt like sending, whether it was good or bad. MT. Jackson during the last few years, because of ill health, had been obliged to give up much of the personal work he did at his theaters. and decided change has been brought about by the moving picture business and vaudeville.
 Mr. Jackson made many friends during his connection with the city as manager and had their support in his undertakings. The last two at- patrons, Henrietta Crosman in Sham, and Fritzi Schef In The Prima Donna, two of the cleverest stars in the busi- ness, were the kind to make the clos ing week one of the best in the sea- son. For the few years the theater was opened previous to MT. Jackson taking the management. there were several managers. but he mas been lessee for three times as long as all the others combined, a fact which speaks well for his management and shows that he has been successful per sonally, as well as looking after his patrons wants. He still retains ms management of. the Lyceun theater in New London and his new theater in Bridgeport His theatrical career Tn this part of the state has been broad and he has looked well after the pub lie.
