OLD TIP TOP TO
SHIP BEFORE FALL.

Silver and tungsten concentrates
from the old Tip Top mine of Yava-
PAL county, Arizona, will be shipped
before fall The Tip Top Heath Min
ing and Milling company has made ar
engagements to place a concentrating
plant at this property and expects to
have it in operation by July Is.
Part of the machinery for the plant
and mill is already on the ground. F.
r. Wager, president of the company,
and his brother, E. G. Wager, are the
organizers and principal members of
the Tip Top Heath company. In prose-
cutting development it was learned that
the Tip Top ore runs high in tungsten
and the property Immediately became
valuable.
In the old days when Tip Top pro-
duced thousands upon thousands of
dollars worth Of silver, no use was
known for tungsten, and it had no
commercial value. Immense quanti-
ties of it were run off with the tailings,
and the rock that was richest IN tung-
stem was carefully avoided. Ore carry
ing more than $4,000 worth of silver
is on the dump today. This is the ore
that will be worked first with the new
mill.

MASCOT MINE is READY
TO SHIP ORE TO SHELTER

George Ames of San Francisco, pres
ident of the Mascot mine in the Dos
CabeZas district, Pima county, Arizona,
is in Douglas for the purpose of con
ferring with the managers Of the Cop
per Queen smelter regarding the ship
ring of copper ore from that mine
which is now nearing the production
period, after two years of active de-
velopment. A 100 ton mill and a devel-
opment plant including compressor
plant, hoists, etc, is the present equip
ment at the Mascot and Mr.. Ames said
that within a short time the work of
mining the enormous bodies of ore
which have been blocked out will be-
gin.
Mr.. Ames was for a great many
years the western representative Of
the Union Iron works of San Francisco
and during the early days of Tombstone
he installed several mills in that dis
trict, the old Grand Central. Conten-
ton and others. He was also well ac-
quainted with the Warren district in
the early days of Bisbee and installed
the first furnaces there.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN
COCH|SE MINING
DISTRICTS
Daily Shipments Made From
Tombstone Field-Royal
Guard to Resume.

Tombstone, Ariz, May 26.-Mining
activities throughout the southern Sec
tfons Of Cochise county are reported to
be taking on new life, and much is ex-
pected in mining circles within the
next few months.
In the Tombstone district the chic
riders and operators of the properties
company are shipping ore daily to the
shelters of both Ell Paso- and Douglas
Encouraging reports are received
from CORTLAND, where, it is said. the
many mine owners and operators are
getting in readiness for extensive
prospecting and development work.
The Great Western Mining company
is shipping at the rate of car of cop
per ore TO Douglas each day, and is
employing in the nelghborhood of so
men.
The Royal Guard mine, in the Tomb
stone district, which has been closed
down for the past three months, ex-
poets to resume operations by the first
of August This mine is one of the
steady producers of the old camp, and
carries high values in both gold and
silver, the latter metal predominating.
This property adJoins the HershaI Min
ing & Milling company's mines, which
is also an old producer and is owned
principally by FL Paso people.
The Commonwealth Extension Min
ing company, new corporation re-
Gently formed, is getting in readiness
to develop its many claims in the
Pearce district. This property adjoins
the famous Commonwealth mine, which
has produced since its discovery over
5.000.000 and was located by John
]. Pearce, who is also a director and
heavy stakeholder in the new com
pany. This mine produces rock aver
aging 81 per pound in silver and gold.
1t is rumored that the Tombstone
Silver, Gold and Copper company is
about to resume work on its group in
this district in the very near future
This property adJoins the old Conten-
ton mine, which also produced many
millions in the early days.
The Middlemarch Mining company in
the Dragon mining district was re-
Gently visited by several directors Of
the organization and it is believed
will shortly put everything in shape
to resume work at moments notice.

WEEKS YIELD rs
BAR WORTH $18,5N

J. F. Council has brought in to
Kingman from the Gold Road mine,
Mohave county, Arizona, bar of bull
lion worth $1S,5OO, the result of the
last eight days cleanup Of the mill
Owing to lack Of power some of the
regrinding machinery has been out of
commission, but it is expected that be-
fore long arrangements will be made
to get all necessary power to drive
every piece of machinery at the mill
and mine
At the mine work is going on at a
rapid rate, the drifts on the 500 and
700 levels being carried into new ground
The 500 level has reached a point 500
feet east of the No. shaft on the Billy
Bryan, and is said to be in the richest
ore ever discovered in the property,
samples running as high as $4,000 to
the ton. None of this ore is milled,
that part OF the mine not having been
as yet put in shape to send its output
to the mill.

ELECTRIC HOSTING
IS SUCCESS IN
RAY MINE
Possible to Handle 1900
Tons Without Crowd
ing 1t.

Ray, Ariz., May 25-Electric power
has been adjusted at the main shaft,
hosting commenced and ore is now
being drawn from the ore bins at the
mine. The placing in commission of
this main hosting equipment may be
said to mark the beginning OF active
mining operations at the property.
Since the concentrator went into COM
mission. the ore treated has been taken
from development work. being shipped
direct to the mill bins.
At Hayden II is stated that the ton
mage per unit put through the concen-
traitor has reached as high as 100 tons
in a day, and that it will be possible
to handle 1900 tons without crowding.
While the management all along has
believed that the plant OF units
would ultimately handle 10000 tons of
ore per day, allSestimateS which have
been made on Ray Consolidated have
been for production of 5000 tons.
BY raising the capacity Of each section
100 tons a day, the annual production
OF copper will be increased by S,000,-
900 pounds.
With a capacity of 1000 tons per
unit. or a total Of 5000 tons per day,
the production, even allowing for con-
tingencies and delay over and above a
35o-day working year, would amount
to $4,000, 900 pounds per annum. With
100 tons being put through per unit
production should reach nearly co.
600 900 pounds, while at 1850 tons, 100,-
000,0 pounds should be produced an
nually.
The results now being obtained in
the concentration are very gratifying
when one considers the plant has been
in operation but two months. The ex-
traction has been running about 20
percent on ore of average grade. AS
this saving has been made in a new
mill, which has not yet been thor
oughly adjusted, in all probability
when operating smoothly, an ultimate
recovery of 80 pounds should be posi-
bic, allowing for concentration and
Smelter losses.
The recent statement Of Mr. Jack
lings that Rays cost will be less than
9 cents per pound and possibly reach
Utaf's figure of cents, is of far
reaching importance and shows what
may be expected from this property
when operated to capacity.
The first section of the concentration
was put into commission March 10, the
second May 8. and it is expected that
the third will be started before the
end Of this month, and sections follow
thereafter at intervals of about 80
days.

MOGOLLON MINES
HAVE GOOD YIELDS
Second Cleanup For May Is
Completed by Three
Mines.

MogoIlon, N NJ, May 26.-At the
Deadwood mines bullion is being
smelted for the second ten-day period
Of May The weeks tonnage was go,
with 20 sacks of concentrates. Mine
work is being pushed on the first and
second levels; stopping will be started
in the third level as soon as the wa
ter can be lowered. A two-stage du-
pick Rand air compressor is being in
stalled in the engine room and will
be connected By belt to the De La
Verne oil engine. This will reduce the
power cost for mining about two
thirds compared with the gasoline
plant formerly used.
Rich OvershOOt Continues.
At the Ernestine Mining company
the ore milled during the week
amounted to 72e tons, producing 65
sacks of concentrates. The second
cleanup of. precipitates for May is be-
ing smelted. The rich overshoot dis
covered in the main tunnel west con-
tinues in both width and values.
At the Socorro mines II bars of gold
and silver bullion were secured from
operations for the first half of May.
During the same period approximately
$500 tons of ore were crushed, with
concentrate product Of IL tons. To-
tai recovery of values continues at
better than SO percent
In the Gold Dust mines another cross
cut tunnel will be started farther down
the mountain side, designed to inter
sect the vein at some 500 feet below
its apex

ONYX DEPOSIT IS
FOUND NEAR
COLUMBUS
Fine Stone Is Within Three
Miles of a Rail
road.

An important discovery Of onyx de-
nosits has been recently made in the
vicinity Of Columbus, N. NJ. about so
miles west of Ell Paso. The locality,
saws J. w Groshorn, one of the dis
coverers, abounds in lime. from the
carbonate to highly crystalized forms
of what appear to be high grade
marble and onyx, the marble particu-
larIv covring square miles. The Tres
Herranas mountain has been pushed
nm through the plains and is strictly
limerick range of mountains. Marble,
blue granite and similar crystalizations
are also shown in various places in
the range This is particularly true
of the square miles OF ground at the
southern end of the range, where
marble, or what appears to be marble,
of a high grade crops out in almost
undisturbed beds on the flat
The onyx was discovered by A L.
Taylor and Mr.. Groshorn. The onyx
beds are a part of this limestone or
marbleized beds The presence of
light solution Of iron in the water DUR
ing the forming of this onyx gives It
colors of light orange, deep orange
and amber As development proceeds,
other eolors will probably be encoun-
tered, as is commonly the case in
similar deposits in Mexico. The den
sity of the rock is great and the grain
is very fine. giving great weight to the
rock. 1t takes a polish of a very high
order and has been pronounced to be
perfect grade in every respect.
The outcroppings cover nearly 400
acres The heavy and solid mat of
onyx in sight forms the center around
which other claims of 20 acres each
have been located, aggregating $50
acres The form of the outcroppings
seems to be in the nature of veins,
rather than pockets. There is from
six inches to two feet OF wash or
detritus covering the locations and
through this the onyx outcrops. Little
development has been done as yet, but
it has indicated that rock of large
make it of great value for building
purposes as well as ornamental pur-
poses.
The onyx is technically known as
Aragonite, or Mexican onyx, which is
used very extensively in wainscotting
and mantel pieces, table tops and va
rious ornamental purposes. 1t is far
more beautiful than marble. owing to
its finer capitalization and colOring
and will take a far finer polish.
These deposits are only three miles
from the railroad, and if they develop
into extensive deposits, as indicated at
present, will find a ready market in FL
Paso and in the east. The duty on
the same material from Mexico is
cents "a cubic foot almost prohibitive.

MAKES PROGRESS
Sinking SHAFT

Contractor Stallings, who is sinking
the new Copper Queen shaft in the
Warren district, southern Arizona, is
making excellent progress going down
at the rate of about 100 feet month.
The shaft has been sunk about 100
feet to date He has two shifts busy
on the work. The ground formation
gone through so far has been of lime
stone, which makes the work COMPARE
lively easy The shaft is being sunk
primarily for ventilation purposes, To
give air to the other shafts, with which
it will connect. but it is believed that
a valuable deposit will be found on the
flat under the South Bisbee school
house. 1t is said that surface indica-
tions are good for ore underground.
The new gallows frame has been set
up, and a geared double drum hoist
Will be shipped from the factory about
