SILVER KING MINE
AGAIN OPERATED
Discovered in 1875 by Sol
der; Now Developed for
Copper Deposits.

No mine in Arizona was of greater
Importance in promoting the early well
fare of that territory than the Silver
King, in PinaI county.
When Gen Stoneman, afterwards
governor of California, was in Pinal
county with his troopers in the early
'7Os fighting the Apaches, one of his
soldiers, named Sullivan, was sitting by
a trail amusing himself throwing rocks
at the lizards and noticed the unusual
weight of them, and that they would
not break.
He packed away a few samples. Be
ing discharged soon after he showed
his souvenirs to his employer on
ranch, who recognized that they were
silver Sullivan did not tell where he
foundt hem and suddenly disappeared
lied a party that penetrated the Pfnal
mountains and in skirmish with
Apaches one of the party was killed
One member of the party, named Isaac
Copeland, left the trail. Copeland dis
covered the mine.
The little party the next day has
tened back to the place where Cope
land had found the nuggets.
Nuggets On Ground.
The ground was strewn with nuggets
of solid, furnished silver, and the quartz
outcrop was stained red, brown, black,
green and blue. with carbonates aid
,xides of iron and copper. This was
on Marcn %, 1875. They staked the
Silver King location, forming the Pio-
neer mining district.
The four partners held an equal in
terest in the property, which after
ward became the property of the Silver
King Mining compal4y, organized May
3, 1877.
One day. years afterward, Sullivan.
the original discoverer, came at last
TO see the mine he had never been able
to return till too late. He was given
a job at the mine.
silver King Wen Named.
The Silver King was we'll named, as
1t produced silver by the cord. Besides
the rich chloride and sulphide silver
ore, there were tons OF native metal
IN wires, ropes aid angled masses.
Over $4,000, 600 came from the sin
gle ore body, which extended from the
surface downward for more than 1000
feet.
Worked Continuously.
The Silver King was worked contin-
uously and profitably for years, and
was the loadstone that drew hundreds
of sprospectors to Arizona, among them
the Sheifflin brothers and Dick Grid,
who started from the Silver King for
the Mule mountains and discovered the
great Tombstone silver mines. 1t also
led to the discovery of the Globe mines
Finally, with depth, the silver ore
became low grade and base, and the
price of silver fell until it was not
longer a profitable enterprise under
the then existing conditions. From the
surface outcrop to the lowest level of
the rnine-more than 1900 feet-copper
showed throughout the ore. Finally

CHRONIC ULCERS
INDICATE BAD BLOOD

Where the blood is pure any wound
or 1aceration of the flesh heals "by
first intention" This is true because
nature has provided a constituent TO
the circulation known as Plasma,
which joins and holds the place to-
gether until the fbres and tissues can
permanently knit and Intervene.
Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic
it is because this healing quality of
the blood has been impaired by some
i1npurity in the circulation, and the
place remains open, injecting all sur
rounding flesh, until the character of
the circulation is changed. No sore
can heal where the blood is bad be-
cause the morbid impurities on which
it thrives are constantly deposited
into it by the burdened circulation.
Cleanse the blood and the sore will
heal of its own accord, because then
its very source and foundation will
have been destroyed. S. S. S. cures
Chronic Ulcers of every kind for the
one great reason that it thoroughly
purifies the blood. 1t goes into the
circulation and removes every particle

FLOODS NOT THE CAUSE OF
THE SHELTER SHUT DOWN

Monterey, Mex, Sept. 27.-The report
which has been circulated through the
city, and elsewhere, that smelter No 2
was again seriously damaged by the
recent flood and compelled to shut
down, proves to be entirely erroneous.
The plant suffered no damage from
the flood, the waters reaching to the
floor of the blast furnaces, but not in
juring any of the machinery. Part of
the wall along the river was washed
away, but no other loss was sustained.
In speaking about the shut down,
Chas. Hughes said: I'VE would have
shut down just the same if there had
been no flood, as the majority of our
men would not work during the fies-
tas. And if the flood had come at any
other time we would have been running

LA CORONADO MINES
| SOLD TO CHICAGOANS.

Torreon, Mex, Sept. 2S.-La Coronado
group of mines in the Mapimi district
consisting of nearly 300 pertenencias,
has been taken over by a party COM
posed of Chicago and Detroit capitalists,
who will commence operations about
the first of October. These properties
were sold to the present owners by
Mitchell and SAVERS.
A large sum will be expended on de-
velopment work and at the same time
it is expected that a large quantity of
ore will be shipped. Considerable work
has already be4 done at different
points in the properties and some good
ore has been encountered.

THE CHINO COMPANY
USING BIG SHOVELS
Novel Methods of Operation
Practiced at the Santa
Rita Property.

Silver City, n. NJ, Sept. 2S.-Steam
shovel mining is now in operation at
Santa Rita, upon portion Of the. prop
erty of the Chino Copper company, and
is the first instance of the use of this
modern method of mining in this sec
tion, and possibly in the southwest.
Last June it was decided to order a
steam shovel equipment and two large
shovels arrived the past week. Shovel
No. , was started last Friday and is
making its own grade from the Santa
Fe station around to Romero hill, a
distance of 400 fet. No l shovel will
be started next Wednesday.
1t is yet a little early to give def
mite figures as to just how much of
the Chino ground is capable of steam
shovel mining, but it is said that fully
40 per cent of the mineralized area
can be reached by this up-to-date
method. As the big Gre deposits are
developed, the present tonnage being
around the 100000 mark, it is quite
likely that an even larger per cent Of
the mineraliZed area can be success
fully mined by the steam shovel equip
ment. Much interest is being mani
tested in the steam shovels and the
company management is elated over
the success which seems assured by
this method.
Two more SnoYeIS have been ordered
and within few weeks the four big
shovels will be working constantly
in stripping the overburden from the
Chino property ores. Ten dump cars
for handling strippings also arrived
the past week, and the company has
80 more on the road. The Aston To-
comotives, five in number, are on the
ground and four more are on the way
The company has also ordered 20 p
yard self-dumping cars and expect
them in short time

THE PRECIADO AT TAPALA
SHOWS GOLD AND SILVER

Three hours ride from the town OF
Tapala. in the state of Jalisco. Mexico,
is the Preciado gold and silver mine
in the mountain range of Tapala- 1t
is in the high part of one of the spurs
of these mountains, in a well timbered
country, $500 feet above sea level
There is an abundance of running, wa
ter all around. The country is practi-
cally virgin and is scanned with rich
tissue veins of high values in gold and
silver.
Depth of Veins.
The Preciado is a fissure in sand
stone. cutting the axis Of the hill, with
a vertical dip showing depth from the
apex to both bases of the hill, so that
it can be developed by tunnels driven
in the vein from both sides of the hill
at a depth of 100 feet below the summit
of the hill.
The vein is exposed in several ore
faces, one of which is opened by a
tunnel 122 feet. long. showing a pay
streak three feet wide running well in
gold and silver. The ore is greenish
in color and well oxidized. On the
opposite side of the hill, however the
ore is sulphide.
In the extension of the Preciado vein
in the bottom of a creek, a Swiss has
sunk a shaft on the same vein which
is a meter wide of solid ore running
$3.50 gold per ton.

MORE MONEY WANTED FOR
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES
Delegation Urges Before Congress
sional Committees Increase in
Annual Appropriations.

Members of the executive committee OF
the Association of Agricultural Colleges
appeared before the Senate and House
committees on agriculture this morning
in advocacy of the passage OF a bill TO
provide for increased annual appropria-
lions for the support of colleges teaching
agriculture.
Before the Senate committee were Prof
c. r. Curtis of Iowa and DR.. W. II. Jor-
dan OF New York city. The House COM
mittee heard the statements Of w. II.
Thompson. president Of the Ohio State
University: Dr. W. f. Stone, president OF
Purdue University, and DR.. j. l.. Snyder
president Of the Michigan Agricultural
College.
The bill proposes to increase the amount
given to agricultural colleges under the
Morrill, land acts. 1t provides $4,000 for
each state and an amount from the
national treasury equal to that appro-
priated from the state treasures. Besides
authorizing the appropriations the bill
also provides that the Department of
Agriculture shall investigate and report
to Congress upon methods OF extension
work.
The increased demand for instruction
along agricultural lines, the speakers
maintained, justifies the added expendi-
ture from the federal treasury for the
agricultural colleges.
