Beaten Fairly.

Il was beaten fairly and by great
wrestler. He found my weak point anu
if gave way. l do not know who er or
not had my knee held it would have
changed the result, Yokel is too strong
IN probably shortened the match ~ MN
rs have no excuses and was beaten
fairly. 1 was in condition and the att
tude, after my training at Helper dld
NOT bother me at all, L would like re-
rurn match. OF course l am disappoint-
ed in the way the match ended, but II Is
an in the game and l can't complain
In until the injury to Ackerman's knee
the match was one of great class. 1t is
true that there were no fancy flying taLS
or head spins with the men UP ana
down on the mat. It was match
where both men used every bit OF science
thew knew and used it carefully. Close
students of the wrestling game SAID that
they had never seen better work on the
mat. How long the match would nave
lasted had Ackermans knee held is hard
to say Both men were in the pest OF
condition, and at the forty-mlnute marx
neither was breathing hard.

They say that a chain Is at strong as
its weakest link. Just so with all attn
letes, even a champion wrestler-they are
as strong as their weakest point. Acker-
man had a weak point and Yokel found
it.
1t was an old bone bruise on the in
side of the right knee. Against an Ordi-
nary wrestler and without having an
equal an opponent, the knee would stand
up under the strain. But 1t did not
against YOkel.
The first fall came with surprising sud-
denness. Just after 10 minutes Of as
skilled wrestling as has been seen on a
local mat-in which YOkel was the ag-
gressor, but had failed to gain any de-
cisive advantage other than keeping back
of his man-YOkel with a toe hold was
standing Alderman on his head, Acker-
man broke the hold with snap and IN
the mixup got on top of Yokel.
Fer a minute he forced the pace and
then tried a toe hold himself, but Yokel
was too strong and too clever. Break
ing loose, he Whirled ACkerman around
and lit on top. In doing so he had put
his weight and strength on Alderman
right leg and the weak point in Acker-
mans "chain" gave way. As YOkel was
forcing the toe hold Alderman signaled
to the referee, Willard Bean, and ad-
mitted the fall
Some may say that instead of a weak
spot Yokel got Ackerman's goat 10
use the slang expression.
Alderman Was Hurt.
But such was not the case. Alderman
was in great pain. his weak knee had
been injured and those who saw him
in his dressing room saw the swelling on
the knee that the injury caused.
In the intermiSsiOn between the TWO
falls Alderman admitted that he was
beaten man. He said that his knee had
gone and that he could not win. To
save himself from a second fall ne was
willing to admit the match, but said that
he would go on and do the best ne
could.
The second fall was over in less than
two minutes. They went at one another
and for a minute the two surged around
the ring, once going into the crowd al
the ringside. At the rough game 10kel
was still the master and he sent Acker-
man to the mat. Instinctively he reached
for the right foot, which he knew was
weak, but then he changed his hold 10
the head wishing to throw the cham-
pion WitOut taking advantage OF the knee
A combination head and leg lock dlu
the business and with Ackerman's shouI-
ders flattened TO the mat there came
the referees tap on YOkels shoulders
which showed that he had won.
Following the fall Alderman stepped 10
the foOtlights. He said;

Start Work In Two-MiIe Tunnel Near
Bingham.

A Bingham dispatch says:-Equip-
ped for performing cheap underground
work.. the Utah Metal Mining CON-
pany has begun work in the face OF
the 3,000-foot tunnel from Middle can
yon, which is to be driven 5000 feet
further, to attain depth of from 1,2OO
feet to more than 1000 feet under the
ore bodies on the Bingham canyon
side of the range.
Performing the work at exceptional
ly low cost is made possible by the
company's owning its own water pow
er, which is utilized to develop
electrical power for driving all of its
machinery. The compressor and the
motors for electric service are driven
by Pelton wheels.
Since the company started active
work last fall its forces have been en-
ployed installing the power plant and
other machinery, building new build
ings and enlarging the old tunnel to
Sxl0 feet. At this time only two shifts
of five men each are being worked in
the tunnel, but with the arrival of the
electric locomotive and the motor to
operate the ventilating fan, three
shifts of seven men each will be en-
ployed upon that work, pushing the
tunnel at the rate of nearly 400 feet a
month.
Making allowance for unexpected
delays, it will take about two years to
complete the tunnel, but it is more
than likely that important ore bodies
will be cut long before the objective
point is reached. 1t is intended that
the tunnel will serve other large Bing-
ham companies than the one building
it, as a means of transporting ores at
low cost to the International COM
pany's smelter in Pine canyon. 1t will
reduce the distance from more than
30 miles to about seven miles, with an
easy down grade all the way.

Strike Of Rich Ore.

Wonderful good fortune seems to be
attending the men who for years have
been trying to develop that most
wonderful of districts, the Weaver.
The latest reports, which are said to
be from reliable sources, are to the
effect that strike of extremely rich
ore has been made in the Devonshire
mine which is being operated by E. L.
Bartholomew and James Rees.
The report says that the pay streak
is about two and half feet in thick
ness and samples COS to the ton, also
that a small streak about an inch and
a half is almost half gold. Messrs.
Bartholomew and Rees own a half
interest in the property and have a
bond and lease on the other half which
belongs to the Gillespie heirs. 1t is
said that Bartholomew and Rees will
ship some of the ore and expect to ship
enough to pay the heirs for their
interest before the purchase price is
due.

Review Of The Copper Handbook,
Vol. TX.

The ninth annual edition of the Cop
per Handbook, edited and published
by Horace J. Stevens, Houghton,
Michigan, is just received. This work,
which has become a standard authority
on the subject, for the entire globe,
has, in its latest edition, 1923 octave
pages, containing considerably more
than million words, and, in addition
, to the miscellaneous chapters, lists and
describes no less than ISL copper
mines and copper mining companies,
in all parts of the world, descriptions
ranging from two or three lines in the
case of companies that have died
recently, to sixteen pages in the case
of the largest mines, a mine, by the
way, that employees some seven thous-
and men, and has paid dividends of
considerably more than a hundred mil
lion dollars. The mine descriptions
are the same as in the preceding vol
ume, except that upwards of eight
hundred new titles have been added,
covering descriptions not contained in
any previous edition. The chapter of
statistics, containing upwards of forty
tables, treating of copper from almost
every conceivable standpoint, has been
fully revised, and brought as nearly as
possible to date.
The miscellaneous chapters of the
book, twenty-four in number, treat of
the subject of copper from a great
variety of viewpoints, including the
history, chemistry, mineralogy, metal
lurgy and uses of the metal, and this
section of the book also has chapters
devoted to substitutes, alloys, brands
and grades, and copious glossary.
The plan on which the book is sold.
remains the same as for seven years
past, the publisher sending the book by
mail, fully prepaid, to any address
ordered, without advance payment of
any sort, and subject to approval after
a weeks inspection. The price is
5.OOS. That this unusually liberal plan
has proven successful is showed by the
statement of the publisher that net
losses through returned copies and de-
faulted payments are less than four
per cent. Anyone interested in the
subject of copper, as producer, consum-
er or investor in shares, should write
to Mr.. Stevens for copy Of the Cop
per Handbook on the unusually liberal
terms noted.

Good Output from Leases.

A lot of so tons was run this week at
the Cyrus Noble for Crowley and Nc
Kay, and yesterday h. E. McCrea be-
gan hauling in from the Chief of the
Hills, a lease on the same mountain
At this latter lease a hoist is to be in
stalled and sinking continued. The
winze connecting the two tunnels fol-
lowed the best showing of ore and it is
proposed to sink so feet, drift, and
then sink an additional 80 feet.
OF the l5O tons coming from the Orc
Belle at Hart some 40 tons have been
received and milled at Knights. The
second consignment has been delayed
on account of no car being available
at Hit.
The first of the week regular ship
ment of a car of ore was sent to the
Needles smelter by the Crittenden De-
velopment Co., leasing on the New
Years Gift. This lease is in excellent
shape and in line for long and steady
production.-Searchlight Bulletin.

Plant Is To Be Rebuilt.

Further particulars of the Common.
wealth company fire at Pearce Thurs.
day night are to the effect that the
mill, engine room, cyanide plant and
six 40-foot tanks of the percolating
cyanide plant were left in ashes.
BY heoric efforts the boiler room,
two hoisting buildings, framing shed
and the machine shop were saved.
The loss is estimated at 160.OOOS, COW
cred by about go, ,OOOs insurance.
The fire is supposed to have started
from defective electric light wires.
The mill had just been completely
remodeled and the capacity increased
to 12O stamps; also cyanide process
added, at cost of 35,OOOs, giving it a
capacity of 200 tons daily.
A. Y. Smith, manager of the plant,
says that they will Immediately begin
the construction of new mill. The
company has over 500, 900 tons of tail
ing besides ores from the mine ready
for treatment, and will push the
completion of the mill with all pos
sible haste.-Prospector.

plant. The Alice mine is l,600 feet in
depth, and during the time that it was
operated for its silver values it was
one of the most important dividend
payers in the camp. The silver values
were worked out, and when it was
found that the zinc ores predominated
operations were suspended several
years ago.
The Emma property, on Colorado
street, which was such a disappoint-
ment TO its stockholders because of
the prevalence of zinc ores, was de-
clared failure many years ago, and
operations were suspended. Recently
it came to the attention of the New
Jersey Zinc company and represen-
tative of the company was sent to
Butte to open up the property on the
200-foot level in order that the ores
at that depth might be sampled for
their zinc content. The work of un-
watering the shaft is now under way.
1t is expected that test of the ores
may be made within the next week or
two.
There are numerous other properties
in the district which were disappoint-
ing to their promoters because of the
prodominance of zinc, and many of
them, especially those located on the
west side, may be taken under con-
sideration by some of the larger zinc
companies, who declare that the grade
of zinc ores in the Butte camp is bet
ter than that found in many other
places.

Copper Queen Is Dividend Leader.

If it were possible to make up a
parade of the great copper mines OF
the United States in the order of their
dividends for 1909, Col. Il. L. Pickett
of Tombstone would place at the lead
the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee,
which last year, over and above
expenses, distributed 5,3O6, 652s among
its stockholders.
I'm the United States the Copper
Queen is the greatest of the dividend
payers, " said Col. Pickett. ''Its near
est competitor is the Anaconda, the
greatest at Butte. Mont, which in
1909 paid 2,4OO, O,OOOs in dividends, or
less than half as much as the Copper
Queen.
''The people of Cochise county just
ly believes that they have the great
est copper county in the United States,
if not in the whole world. Arizona
people would do well to watch the
production of Cochise county copper
mines and the gold and silver output
at Tombstone.
"The new copper camp of Court
land, situated twenty miles northeast
of Tom bstone has entered the list of
shippers. The Great Western and the
Calumet & Arizona are each shipping
100 tons of ore per day, the former to
the Ell Paso smelter and the latter to
its own smelter at Douglas"
Pickett is here to attend the su-
preme court session. He is one of
the attorneys in the famous Copper
Queen tax case to be de; ;ided by the
court Saturday.-Phenix Democrat.

The Devonshire vein is continua-
tion of one of the series of veins cover
ed by the locations of the Golden
Ridge Mining and Milling company,
which is also meeting with splendid
success in its operations. This prop
erty is being developed by long tun-
mel which is now in $50 feet, exposing
a continuous shute Of ore ranging from
six inches to six feet in thickness, the
lowest average sample of which ever
assayed gave returns of S.9Os per ton
in gold. Arrangements are being
made for the installation of a large
compressor plant at the mouth of the
tunnel when air drills will be used
for the rapid development of the

Interest In The Zinc Showinss OF Butte
Grows.

A Butte dispatch says:-The devel-
opment of high-grade zinc ores in the
Butte & Superior properties during
the past few months has caused an in
creased interest in mining for zinc in
the Butte district, and if plans that
are now under way prove successful.
several of the properties which have
been idle for years and which practi-
cally were abandoned because of the
failure to find large bodies of high
grade copper ores, will join the pro-
ducing class.
Within the past few weeks opera
tions have been resumed at the Lex
ington mine, owned by the La France
Copper company, and two shipments
of zinc ores have been made to the
Basin concentrator. II is understood
that the ore is of excellent grade, and
if the values are sufficiently high it is
probable that the Lexington mine will
be operated in an extensive manner.
The Alice mine, owned by the Alice
Mining company, which is to be taken
into the Anaconda merger, is being
opened up for its zinc values, and ore
for four test runs of 10 tons each have
been sent to an Eastern zinc reducing

Ray Con. To Have Immense Plant.


The Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany has started work on the lar gest
working shaft yet planned in the
United States and have ordered an
equipment for it that will surpass in
hosting capacity any plant yet in
stalled. The hoisting engine will be
sufficiently powerful to handle a skip
of twelve and one-half tons capacity,
this being two and half tons in ex-
cess of any mine skip now in use.
This new shaft is situated few hun
dred feet south of the old mill and
machine shop site at the Ray mine
and will connect with the great ore
gathering level which has already
been opened for a length of several
thousand feet and will extend to over
one mile in length. This great level
runs practically through the center of
all the company's ground lying on the
west side of Mineral creek and will be
the discharge center for the caving
system to be followed in mining the
ore between this level and the surface.
At the top Of this level, at regular
intervals will be ore chutes with
automatic discharge gates from which
the level cars will be loaded with ore
and these cars, in transit, will be
hauled to the ore bin at the shaft
station by electric locomotives. The
cars will dump, automatically, their
contents into the ore bin from which
it will be discharged automatically
into the II and one half ton hosting
skip, which, on reaching the surface,
will automatically dump the ore into
the surface bins. From these bins the
ore will be discharged through gates,
that open and close automatically, into
the cars on the standard gauge rail-
road and IN them be conveyed to the
great concentrating plant where it
will again be discharged, automatic
ally, into the ore bins above the
crushing floor of the mill. Sunday
last two of the large Star drills which
have been engaged in putting down
bore-holes on the ore bodies, were
loaded onto fat cars and sent to Hay
den, the new town at the mill and
smelter site, to drill wells with a view
to developing a supply of pure water
for the town, independent of the sup
ply for the milling plant. 1t is hoped
that artesian water will be developed
and there is good ground for believing
that it will.
The work of developing a sufficient
water supply for the great milling
plant has been in progress for some
time. A trench feet wide, II feet
deep and 500 feet long has been ex-
cavated at a point between the mill
site and the river. The bottom of
this large trench is at the water level.
From this level steel tubes, 80 inches
in diameter. will be sunk in the water
stratum to depth of thirty feet, at
short intervals, the entire length of
the trench. These will be pumped
in units and will furnish a river of
water.
Some of the $50 carloads of struc-
tural steel we mentioned last week,
have arrived at the mill site.-Florence

Mammoth Nine To Again Produce

The Mammoth mine which turned
out several millions in gold ore dur
ing the SOS, has been leased by George
.. Young and others. The Mammoth
mine is located in the Goldfiefd dis
trict, and in the days of its large pro-
duction drew many mining men and
mining interests to this section of the
country. At that time the mine was
owned by Hall and Sullivan, and
under this management the golden
stream continued until for some un-
known reason the lead, or ore shoot,
was lost. Whether this was done
purposely or whether the ground
became what is termed faulty and the
vein lost is not definitely known, there
being some who adhere to both sup
positions. However, after an attempt
to relocate the ore body for some time,
the death of the younger Hall and a
short time afterward the death of his
father, put a stop to the further pro-
BIOoS vi GhC uluO. rIOn IndI IluIC
until this there has been no attempt to
again try to relocate the ore body,
although the mine was leased to
Globe parties for some time.
1t is understood that the plans of
the new management WI be first to
pump the mine free from water, clean
ing out the different Slopes and re-
timbering where necessary. This
work will be made somewhat difficult
in the beginning, as the plan of the
former management was to get all
of the ore possible with as little ex-
pense as possible. This method has
naturally made many cave-ins in the
old workings and these will all have
to be retimbered before much can be
accomplished.
The Mammoth is located about
twenty miles east of Mesa on the
Roosevelt road.
At present there is another large
property, the Bulldog, which C. B.
Shattuck has been working for some
time past. While no considerable
force of men has been engaged, the
work has been going steadily forward,
and the ore gotten out will un-
doubtedly yield good returns on the
investment.
In addition, there is the claims of
the Lamb brothers, and those of ].
T. McPharland, all in the same dis
trict, which are reported to be good
prospects. At least, the starting up
of the Mammoth is naturally causing
some little interest and it is surmised
that there is plenty of gold in that
district yet that only needs the right
kind of mining to secure It.-Phenix
Democrat.

RECORD BREAKING
TREES IN PEACH LINE,
Over Seven Bushels Taken
From One Tree.

Fifteen baskets Of peaches from one
tree, over seven bushels in all. Tn It
is probably a record that will be hard
to equal, let alone surpass, even in
this year Of phenomenal yield Of tie
fruit in the orchards round about
Americas.
1t was tree of the Carmen variety
that gave this enormous yield and it
was in the small orchard of Mr.. C.
l.. Ansley
Like all of the other orchards
around Americas, Mr. Ansley's trees
have been burdened with peaches al
most to the breaking down point this
season. The yield has been simply as
founding. Off of two and half acres,
on which there were bearing Carmen
trees to the number of about one hun
dred and fifty, there have been de-
liyered to the cannery nine hundred
baskets, equivalent to nearly five hun
dred bushels. The average yield has
been over three bushels to the tree.
Mr. Robinson, the manager of Mr..
Ansley's farm, would not be surprised
if even a greater average record was
established when some other varieties
of peaches are picked.
1t will doubtless be many a year be-
fore such crop as this is seen again.
1t unquestionably exceeds anything
expected, or anything ever known be-
fore.
