Chino Operations are
 on Large Scale.

The Chino Copper company in its mines at Santa Rita, N. M., and it's mill a few miles below, is operating on an extensive scale. It has 2652 acres of mineral lands together with its mill site and waterworks. Four hundred and eight churn drill holes have deen completed, with a total foot age of 15O,545 feet, the average depth of the several exploratory holes being 382 feet.
 This exploration shows up an ore body of disseminated sulphIdes, con- centrating material of an average thickness of IO7 feet. Capped with an overburden of S2 feet is this ore body, which estimated on a steam shovel basis, that is including the slopes that will follow the operation of steam shovels, there have been developed, partially and fully, 45, 5,25O.OOO tons of ore averaging 2.3 per cent copper, and of this 32,OOO,OOO tons will be mined by steam shovels. Recent ''scout drill ing" has indicated an extension of the ore body of about 15OO feet west ana 100 feet south of the present developed ore reserves.
 Very little underground develop ment has deen done, and none will be necessary for years until the ores from the steam shovel areas are extracted.
 Four 90-ton and one 40-ton steel shovels are in operation. Three hun dred and thirty-four thousand yards of stripping have been moved and 134, ,00O tons of ore mined and stored in stock piles. The ore bodies already uncover ed and prepared for steam shovel min ing will supply tonnage for the mill for at least three years.
 The mill is being built in three sec tions of 1000 tons capacity each, the first section to be completed in July and the other two at intervals 45 days thereafter. The steel building for the main bodies is completed and about all the machinery is on the ground.
 All the ores and concentrates of this company will be shipped over the Santa Fe railroad to the new copper plant now under construction at the El Paso smelter.-El Paso Herald.

Final Payment is
 Made on Mines

Yesterday the final payment of 5, ,0O0s was made by the Tiger Gold Company to P. Kearney, for the latter's interests in the Gray Eagle and Cleveland mines in the Bradshaw Mountains, which aggregates 6O,OOOs paid for these prop critics to date. The original deal dates back to 1905, when the company assumed cnarge. Mir. Eearney was the owner of a one-half interest in each mine, and had been associated with their development for many years prior to their operation by the pur- chasing company. This transaction removes, all pioneer owners and Mir. Kearney is the last to retire from own ership. Both mines are at present un- der development and more attractive than at any time in their history.
 The Gray Eagle lode is among the oldest locations in the Bradshaw re- zion and has always enjoyed high standing in mining circles.-Prescott Journal Miner.

Judging from the number of stone hammers or mauls found in a given bulk of debris, thousands and thousands of the ham, mers must have been used and may be found by clearing out the old workings.

MILITIA WANTS AERoPLANE.
State Military Board is Considering
Addition to Equipment.

Addition 10 Equipment
The Michigan National guard may
have an aeroplane added TO its fight
ing equipment
At least. the state military board Is
considering the proposition TO pur-
chase one for the signal corps.
At the last meeting OF the board at
Lansing, the signal corps asked that
an aeroplane be purchased. The Mich
igan National Guard already has an
aviation squad in connection with the
signal corps, with a licensed aviator
Capt. George Mckay of Ypsilanti, at its
head.
The proposition is that, should tho
state see nt 20 purchase an aeroplane.
the purchase price could soon be
earned by its licensed aviator. Cap
tain Mckay, who would make con
tracts to give exhibitions during the
summer months at amusement parks
and fairs, for which the state would
receive at least $500 a day.
with fair flying il is figured that
Captain Mckay would soon wipe out
the purchase price Of the machine, and
that all additional earnings would
represent just so much profit to the
state.
The state could purchase an aero
plane for $4,000" said Major Earl r.
Stewart, and there is no doubt but
that much can be done with airships in
time of war.
But there are many things 10 be
considered before making any such a
purchase. OF course, it would be a
fine thing II the aviation squad could
have a flying machine, and if Captain
Mckay had good luck he could easily
reimburse the state for the outlay.
But suppose he fell a few thousand
feet with his airship on his first trip
to the clouds. Six thousand dollars
Of the states money would go for
nothing, and we wouldn't even have a
| licensed aviator left
Then there are other things to be
taken into consideration. II we should
| buy a 1912 model this year, next year
it would be out of date. like an auto
mobile We would wish we had 1913
model. And so it would be wise "a
consider this proposition for awhile
longer"

UNREASONABLE RAINFALL.

A total Of go inches Of precipitation
or rainfall was recorded at the local

Sunday morning up to the same hour

ever fallen in December in Houghton
since the bureau was established. In
December, 1902, on the 21st, there was
the same amount of precipitation but
this was part snow and part rain.
Again i'm 1909 there was .55 inches Of
precipitation caused by rain after
wards turning to snow. Large patches
of open water have formed near the
bridge, attracting a large flock of gulls
and giving a spring like aspect.

Fraudulent Use of Mails.
The departments crusade against
the fraudulent use OF the mails, begun
In 1910, has been aggressively con-
tinued. Last year the inspectors as
signed TO this work Investigated a
great variety of cases ranging from
petty schemes for the commitment OF
fraud on a small scale to gigantic prof.
ects involving the sale of worthless
stock i'm imaginary mining companies
and other fictitious concerns. There
were altogether 529 indictments, and
In these cases 1874 convictions have

quittals. Most Of the pending cases will
come TO trial during the current fiscal
year. The swindlers thus indicted ha
frauGulently obtained from the pub
lie many millions of dollars. Reports
from the large cities indicate that
numerous concerns utilizing the mails
in a questionable manner have gone
out of business as the result of the
departments vigorous crusade. The
publicity given the prosecutions
through the daily press all over the
country has been of great value in pre-
venting innocent persons from being
defrauded.
Many inspectors have been employ
cd solely i'm the investigation of cases
involving the fraudulent use of the
mails and thus their attention has
been diverted from the important work
of scrutinizing the routine operations
of the postal service. 1t is believed
that the handling of all such fraud
cases should be assigned to the agents
of the Department of Justice, thus
relieving the postofIice inspectors ot
a responsibility the discharge of which
seriously interferes with their usual
duties.

council today visited the location of
the proposed road which is TO form q
link i'm the county road from Houghton
to Atlantic. and TO which some objec-
tions have been made by residents of
Hurontown. Engineer Martin of the

the officials. The objection of the Hur-
ontown people is that the road planned
will divert traffic from the South
Range towns to Houghton and away
from Hurontown. 1t will be necessary
for Houghton TO build the strip Of
road up TO the village limits, the road
commission having authority to build
only up 10 that point. A report on the
results Of the trip will be made at
