 "We have in contemplation no cur tailment of our force or our work. We intend to work the concentrator and shelter up to their full capacity"
 The output of the reduction plant has had little, if any, falling off, being last month 5,7OO,OOO pounds. It is re- ported that the Guggenheims have been offered 4OS per share for their interests in this company by banking interest. It is believed that the merger-opposing faction of these prop critics was behind this offer, but they deny it. The absorption of this by Utah Copper on the basis of PTS is talked of.

him and he told them be was not a miner, but he would take a chance with them, and for the last two years he has financed the assessment work end of it and kept the thing moving. If it proves to. be a mine, his quarter interest will have been easily acquir- ed. If it does not, it will not be the first money he has lost, and the de veloping feature of the contract is more important than the payment feature, for by it he will be able t, better tell whether it is worth spend ing any more money on. A feature O the contract is that he may have Q man o1 the ground at all times to SC, the result of the exploration work Of the churn drill.
 If the sale is finally consummated, the four partners will receive ample return for their time and money spent. and a fine profit beside, while the buyers will probably have millions oi dollars worth of ore in the ground for a comparatively limited sum. And somebody will have chance to make a mine.-Phenix Republican.

Ray District Deal consumated Here

Yesterday a transaction was con- pleted in this city between Dan Me Farland, Los ngeles mining man, and s. J. Tribolet and associates of this city, whereby the former takes a bond on a group of seven mining claims adjoining the Ray Copper con- pany's holdings, for 46,OOOs. Under the terms of the bond, the first pay ment of 10 per cent will be made in July, and the rest of it in year, and within thirty days churn drill must be at work on the property and be kept at work until the sale becomes a finality, or the project is abandoned.
 This is a small deal compared to some mining enterprises that require six or seven figures to talk about, but it means business, and in way indi- cates moI than some larger bargains. The essence of it all is to develop the property, meanwhile giving the poor prospector and the buyer both a chance. If the mine is worth anything the price paid for it will prove to be dirt cheap, though it will give the pros pectors and locators big returns for their small investment and their patience. If it fails to make good, the buyers will not be out a great deal of money. In fact, they will begin work as soon as possible and by the time even the first payment is due they will either be more enthusiastic than to- day, or they will have cold feet, in which case the prospectors will also have better line on the property through the erstwhile development.
 Mir. Tribolet says he is not a mining man but a meat chopper. He sells beef and sells lot of it in the Ray country, and he can only sell it when there is something there to eat it. He believes, therefore, in encouraging the mining industry all he can. Messrs. Wright Bros. and L. Chitsadini found the property and tried to develop it, but lacked capital. They came to

installed, although one erected opposite Eldorado Canyon, on Colorado River, was said to be unsuccessful on account of the fineness of the gold.
 Twelve new reduction plants were completed or in course of construction during the year. In Gila County, west of Globe, the Duquesne Company was erecting a concentrator; in Graham County l0-stamp mill was erected at the Gold Belt property; in Pinal County the Copper Creek Company was erecting a large concentrating plant; in Mohave County the Gold Road POO ton stamp mill was complet- ed and operated, the Tom Reed 20 stamp mill was built, and the new mill at the Bi-Metal mine was in operation; in Yuma County the Golden Star plant was enlarged; and in Yavapai County plants were added at the Sunnyside, EtUa, Monarch, and Arizona Copper Gold Mining Company's properties.
 The Golconda mine, in Mohave  County, became an important shipper of zinc ore, for which there was good price during the year. The most energetic development was carried on at the Courtland camp, in Cochise County Two railroads entered the town and at the end of the year daily shipments were being made by the Germania and Great Western mines.
 There was great activity in develop ing low-grade copper desposits. At Ray, in Pinal County, and at Miami, near Globe, in Gila County, deposits of copper ore of unsual size, containing about 2.5 per cent, have been develop ed by churn drilling. Miami was con- nected with Globe by rail, and initial work was accomplished at both places for extensive concentration plants.
 The Director of the Mint estimated the gold production of Arizona at g. 672, ,3OOs in 1909, against 2,5OO,OO0S in 1908, and the silver output at 3,632, POO fine ounces in 1909, against 2,9OO,OOO fine ounces in 1908.

Cripple Creek Leading Gold Producer


 A Colorado Springs dispatch says: The Cripple Creek district, during the year 1909 maintained its reputation as the worlds greatest gold mining camp" with a production of 34,5I3 tons of a gross bullion value of l5, ,S50.- ll3.6SS. This brings the total produc- tion of the camp since it's discovery in 1891, well past the quarter of billion dollar mark. Compared 10 the pro duction for 1908, as estimated by the State Bureau of Mines, 1909 shows an increase of 2,SlS, 1878. The average value of all ores subjected to treat ment was 2l .46S.
 During the year dividends of record amounting to HOO, ,53l.06S were paid by seventeen companies as against nine in 1908. In addition to dividends of record, profits of the close corpora tions were between 5OO,OOOS and 750,- 000S, while the profits of the leasing companies approximate l,000, ,O00S. Between 3,2OO and $500 miners were continually employed, the pay roll for the year being 4,000,OOOS.
 The main features of the year were the extension of leasing operations, the steady progress of the deep drain age tunnel, rich strikes on the lower levels indicating future possibilities of deep mining, and the discovery and adoption of methods for the treatment of low grade ore, with the consequent increase in the activity of mills within the district.
 The solution of the low grade treat ment may almost be spoken of as an accomplishment of the year 1908, three of the biggest producers, the Strat- tons Independence, Ltd, The Port land and the Golden Cycle taking the lead in perfecting methods. As a re- suit millions of tons of ore heretofore considered of too low value, now lying on the dumps and in abandoned work ings will be converted into gold.
 The drainage tunnel will be con- pleted within the year, according to present indications. It will drain the camp at depth of 700 feet below the present water level, and competent mining men are of the opinion that this big bore will prolong the life of the camp many years and add tens of millions of dollars to the worlds gold supply.
 The production of the entire state of Colorado for the year 1909 in gold, sil- yer, lead, copper and zinc is estimated at 40, liz, ,3l6S. If to this is added the production of the lesser known min erals and the value of the chemicals extracted from the ores, the total is increased to 42,577, ,S7SS. From 1858 to date, the state has contributed in the five minerals named above, 1,O92, 4l5,- 496.36S to the worlds wealth, as fol- lows: Gold 472, l97, ,2S1. .43s, silver 42l,- 542, ,55l. I4S. lead 142, l55, $50 72S, copper 26,562, ,547.92S, zinc 9,96O, ,O45. .42S.

Yuma Reservation To Open March [.

The delayed opening for settlement of l73 farms of 40 acres each, in the Yuma, Arizona, reclamation district, is now set for March l, and a great rush is expected for this choice land.
 The lower Colorado River valley re- sembles the valley of Egypt in climate, soil and products. With a growing season of approximately 364 days in the year, crops are put on the market at a time when prices are highest. Several crops a year can be raised. The crop returns on we'll cultivated ranches in this section shows an average of sos an acre in forage and grain. The lands devoted to truck and fruit raising show returns of l5OS to 5OOS an acre A branch of the Southern Pacific runs through the reservation, connecting with the main line at Yuma.
 The charges, fixed by the govern ment, are in three parts: The value of the lands before reclamation is fixed at lOS an acre for the total area of each entry. The payments are to be made at the rate of Is year until paid; the building of the irrigation system is taxed against the land at the rate of ) 5OS an acre for ten annual install- ments; for operation and maintainance there is further charge of Is an acre until further notice. This includes ir- rigation.
 All entries must be accompanied by an application for water right and by a payment of not less than 7.5Os an acre for irrigable land, plus Is an acre for nOn-irrigable land. The second in stallment will be due December l, 1910, and each year thereafter until fully paid.

Puts Nevada Output At Over 3S,ooo,-
 OOOS.

A Goldfeld dispatch says:-The officials of the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines Co. have left for Evanston, Wyo., to attend the annual meeting on Mon day. Among those who left were George Wingfeld, Secretary Howie, ormer General Manager Mckenzie, who is now in San Francisco, and J. R. Finlay, who has recently assumed charge of this property. No informa- tion has been given out locally regard ing the contents of the managers re- port, and there is no authority here for the statements published in New York quoting an estimate or reserve. It is understood, however, that these will surely show better than 25,OOO,- OOOS.
 The State bullion tax agent estimat- es the mineral production in Nevada for 1909 at 35,OOO, O,OOOS. He goes so far as to forecast the output for 1910 at 5O,- )OO,OOOs. He places the Goldfeld pro duction at II ,OOO, OOOS for 1909.
 The mill of the Goldfeld Consolidat- ed Mines Co. is now treating 900 tons of ore per day, and the December profits are figures at 4,00OS. The Goldfeld Florence Co. is treating l6O tons per day.
 The years production at the prop erty of the Goldfeld Florence Co. is put at 73l, ,OOOs, with profits at 27O,OOOs The large expense was due largely to mill construction and extensive devel- opment going on underground.
 The report of the Com mbination Traction Co. for the first nine months of the year shows a profit of ll3,0O0S. No ore is being hoisted at present, but conditions are reported more favorable. Charles Wilkinson has assumed the management of the property.
 The property of the Diamonfeld Black Butte Co. will be sold on Janu- ary l5 and reorganized on an assessible basis, the shares of the old company to be exchangeable for those of the new upon the payment of cent additional per share.
 The Gold Bar mine workings have been sampled, most of them showing high grade. The Gold Bar lessees will soon begin the construction of a 50-ton mill.

Old Camps of New Mexico May Be
 RejuVenated.

The Empire and Bonanza group, sit uated near Hillsboro, N. M., embrac- ing the American, the Empire and Bo- nanza mines, near the Old Snake mine, and Opportunity mines, which made HillsbOro famous gold camp in the early days, has recently been acquired by Cripple Creek mining men and is being operated by them.
 These mines in the old days pro- duced 5CO,OOOS and the old workings reached a depth of 300 feet. These workings were old tunnels driven into the mountain, on the vein, one below the other. In the old days when the ores oXidized, they were treated by milling and amalgamated. When the sulphide zone was reached, the old free milling process would not save the values and the mines became idle.
 Subsequently some Missouri farmers acquired them and were persuaded to install concentrating tables. But lack of experience resulted in failure However, the present owners have made a complete success and are sav- ing the free gold by amalgamation and shipping the sulphide concentrates to the shelter.
 This method of treating the ores having proved a success, is expected to resurrect the old camp of Hillsboro There are thousands of tons of low grade ore on scores of old dumps that could not be treated under the old methods that offer an unusual oppor- tunity for the proper experienced min- CTS to install plants of a similar char acter as to one above referred to, it is stated.
 This same method can be applied to the old camp of Kingston, which lies nine miles west of Hillsboro, which has a record of having produced r. GOO, ,0OOS or S,0O0,0 and on whose dumps are thousands of tons of low grade ore.-Denver Mining Record.
