GiSSAYAMPA DISTRICT
ENTERS ACTIVE PERIOD
Billy Boy and Climax Make Prep
arationS for Extensive
Exploitation

PRESCOTT, Aug. s. Returning
Thursday evening from the Billy Boy
mine of the Hassayampa district, Ed
Block says development is progressing
with better results than he anticipated
and says he is well pleased with the
showing. On the footwall side of the
tunnel a five foot body of ore is un-
covered, two feet of which is shipping
ore and the remainder of a milling
grade. The values are principally gold
In past operations the hanging wall
side of the tunnel was the point work
ed. Until the tunnel reaches a greater
distance into the mountain the foot
wall, where the best shaving ever
made in the mine is, will be followed.
Mr.. Block is enthusiastic over what
he has accomplished in the past month,
and freely expresses himself as salts
fled with the purchase of the property.
In speaking of mining affairs gener-
ally in that district, he says the Gil
max Mining company is beginning an
extensive system of development and
that recent exploitation is decidedly
gratifying.
The company is preparing TO install
a new mill, to be propelled by water
power from the Hassayampa river. He
is also contemplating a similar plan to
treat the product of his property.
At other points in the district more
work is going on than in many years,
and he anticipates that the district
will be one of the liveliest in the coun-
try in the next few months.

CLARA CONSOLIDATED
BUYS OLD MUDSPAUGH
Price Paid for Valuable Goldfish
ver-Copper Property Said
to Be $25O,00O

The big Mudespaugh mines have been
taken over by the Clara Consolidated.
The consideration is given at S250,00
The mines purchased are situated about
eleven miles from Bouse in a south
erly direction, and the operating of the
property is already under way by the
purchasing company.
The ores of the Mudespaugn are a
sulphide, carrying gold, silver and cop
per, and a desirable condition asso-
ciated with the product is its adaptable
ity for f1uX for the ores of the Clara.
In addition to this, the values are
also said to be heavy in the above
mineral combination, and during the
many years the property was under
operation several shipments were made
that gave good returns.
The freighting of the ores to Bouse
is to begin at once by Jack Trenberth,
who has the contract, and from that
delivery point the output will be
shipped by rail to the smelter at Swan
sea.
The transaction has attracted consid-
cradle comment on the desert on ac-
count of the prominence of the prop
erty and the large price said to have
been paid.

EXPERT WILL EXAMINE
TREASURE ORE DUMPS

ELY, New, Aug. 8.-With the inten-
tion of sampling the old ore dumps on
Treasure Hill and the failing piles at
Eberhardt and Shermantown, w. G..
Luckhardt, tonnage man for the Ely
and Goldfield railroad, has returned to
Hamilton to complete his work after
a prolonged visit in San Francisco.
The object of the trip to California
was to purchase certain instruments
that are necessary in determining the
most feasible route through the diff
ferent mountain passes near Hamilton
Mr.. Luckhardt had contemplated Wis
iting only a few days on the coast. He
was taken ill shortly after his arrival
and was forced to prolong his stay at
the Golden Gate.
Mr. Luckhardt expects to complete
the sampling of the old-time silver
properties in about three weeks. The
sampling will be accomplished by
means of a churn drill a method
which will economize on time and labor
and give better results.
Following the completion of the task
assigned him Luckhardt will leave at
once for the east to report the result
of his observations to the promoters of
the proposed ly-Goldfeld route. He
is particularly pleased with the ore
tonnage that the Hamilton district is
capable of furnishing the new road,
and will quite likely recommend that
the old silver camp be given the ad-
vantage of adequate railroad facilities.

SHELTER To Be ERECTED
ON SITE NEAR WICKENBURG
Monarch Lets Contract for Con-
struction of 100-Ton
Plant in Arizona

PHOENIX, Aug. 8.-The Monarch
company will build first elias mod
ern smelter on its properties near
Wickenburg this fall. The contract
for the machinery has been awarded
to the United States Sulphide Smelter
Furnace company of Toledo o., the
construction work to be done at El
Paso. The contracting company will
install and start up the smelter. This
news is official, having been conveyed
to General Manager c. w. Platt in a
letter from the secretary Of the Mon
arch company a few days since.
The new smelter is to have capac-
ity of 100 tons a day at the start, but
it will be enlarged from time to time
as the needs Of the Monarch and
nelghboring mines require, 1t being the
purpose to do custom work, and thus
to aid in the development of the min
ing properties Of that particular re-
gion.
one of the significant facts in con-
nection with the placing of this smell
ter contract is that the smelter COM
chase price in stock Of the Monarch
company, stating that thorough eX-
animation of the property had con-
vinced them that the Monarch was
sure to make good and to prove
paying investment. The plant is al
ready in course Of construction and on
its completion it will be shipped and
installed without loss of time.

NORTH STAR OF POLARIS
BLOCKS OUT NEW WEALTH

B. D. Puckett, engineer of the North
Star mine at Polaris, says the Golden
Star Mines company, operating the
North Star property, has closed down
its mill on account of insufficient power
facilities, and put all its men to work
underground, prospecting and blocking
out ore bodies in the mine, to get some
idea of its possible maximum produc-
tion from the present levels.
This course will be pursued for three
months, and is the first step in plans of
extensive development being mapped
out by the company, chief of these
being the erection of an electrical
power plant on the Colorado river at
Castle Dome Landing, forty miles from
the mine and twenty miles from Yuma.
With the erection Of this plant and the
increased facilities for handling and
milling ore secured thereby, the North
Stars production of gold may be raised
to an extent that will astonish the min
inc world

DOHENY RETURNS PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK IN FIELD
Oil King Visits His Kern County
Properties and InSpeCtS
18,000-Barrel Well
The famous Lakeview gusher has a

The famous Lakeview gusher has a
rival in well No 70 of the American
Oilfelds company of Los Angeles, in
section SO Of the Midway property Of
that company The well is today pro-
ducine at the rate of $4,000 barrels of
oil day, and since July 25 has shown
a continuous increase in its rate of pro-
duction.
E. L. Doheny, president of the com
pany, and the largest independent oil
operator in the country, returned to
Los Angeles yesterday after making
trip of inspection over the property of
the company on which he was accom-
panied by J. C. Anderson, vice presi-
dent of the company. Both men were
enthusiastic over the remarkable rec
ord that well 79 is making, and declared
that there is nothing like the Cali
fornia oil outlook in the entire world.
The company has twenty rigs drilling
and under construction in the Midway
field.
In addition to well No. 79 the COM
pany has eight more producing wells
on its Midway property, four Of which
are capped in and look as If they Will
develop into gushers of great volume
They are being held back while scores
of men and teams are working over
time digging sumpholes, and an earth
en- reservoir of 100000 barrels ca
pacity to receive the product of the
wells when they are uncapped.
II have never seen anything to equal
it." declared Mr.. Anderson yesterday.
1.-The outlook for this company is more
than gratifying. We are rushing
work on our steel storage tanks on the
Midway property as rapidly as pos
sible and our company Is now the best
equipped with steel storage tanks in
the field"
well No. 70 is located near Fellows,
Kern county, and is not new one,
sbut was brought in in May. Since then
1T has steadily increased in its rate OF
production, but beginning July 20 it
began to attract widespread attention.
1t was then producing 300 barrels, but
on the goth it jumped to 5000 barrels.
On the 29th it was producing 10000
barrels, but dropped to $500 on the 3lst
and to 5000 barrels August 2, but Au-
gust it went up to $1,000 barrels,
and August 6 to 10000. Yesterday 1t
was sending UP $4,000 barrels in
stream the entire width of the 121a-
inch casing of the well that reached
the crown block. The oil is of %
gravity. 1t is being pumped into steel
tanks.
The total holdings of the company
amount to about 10000 acres. A sec
ond big well is located on the prop
ertv of the American Oilfields< COM
pany, three quarters of a mile from
the Tal6eyiew gusher. This well came
in at the rate of 10000 barrels a day
and was capped until steel storage can
he completed to take care of its out
put. There are 600 acres in this gusher
nroperty, which is located in sections
81 and 81, township 80, range "a east,
M. d. M.
The sales of the American Oilields
company and the American Petroleum
company, controlled by the same inter
ests, last month amounted to $4,000
barrels, all being sold under long con-
tracts. The American Petroleum com
many has fourteen wells drilling at
coaiinga, six of which are nearing
completion.
