shipping ore from the old Buena Vista
mine, a shipment of seventeen tons
having this week been made to the
customs smelter. The Greenwell-Ari-
IONA people just northwest of the
Buena Vista a few miles are busy de-
veloping the old Golden Rose group of
gold mines, and over at Harshaw Frank
Powers great World Fair mine con-
tinues in the lime light as one OF the
big silver bonanzas in the territory.

the Patagonia mountains, the Four

Copper Reef.
The cross-cut from the 500-foot sta
ton in the inclined shaft on the North
Star claim of the Copper Reef Con-
solidated Mines company is now about
twenty-five feet long. The North Star
vein that the cross-cut is being driven
to explore, should be reached in the
near future, for the face of the cross
cut is now showing considerable min
eralization, says the Yuma Sun.
The California tunnel on this prop
erty is 200 feet from the Portal and
has entered the California vein. 1t cut
the vein at TAI feet from the mouth
of the tunnel and went through four
teen feet of vein matter An 1S-inch
chute of ore of fair value was cut and
the entire vein through the width of
the tunnel was shot with mineral
Copper King.
a report from Bisbee, as yet uncon-
firmed, is to the effect that the ground
formerly known as the Copper King is
held under option by the Copper Queen.
The property lies directly east of the
Gardner claims Of the Copper Queen,
but has heretofore been considered of
no value because of it's situation on
the east side of the Dividend fault in
the schist zone, heretofore found to be
barren in the Warren district
However, the property is SO close to
the ore-bearing Gardner mine that
there may be considerable lime in its
confines at depth and the ore may have
overflowed into the schist to a consider
able extent.
The fact that the Phelps Dodge in
terests have purchased it will prove
the presence there of ore, for they have
explored that section of the district
thoroughly through their extensive ,un-
derground workings
Bagdad Copper.
Reliable reports are in circulation
that the Arizona Nevada Copper com
pany will be superseded by the Bagdad
Copper company. The change in title.
however, does not in any manner af-
feet the development of the properties.
and operations will be continued as
heretofore. says the Journal Miner The
reason advanced for the change in
name is said to be due to the determin-
atoms recently made on the vast area.
which show that on the Bagdad group
of eight claims. which form the nucleus
of the holding of 5000 acres, the great
est copper deposits are in existence. 1t
was this group, also, which John Law
Ter sold to the company. and which
comprised the original locations in that
field. Current report is to the effect
also that body of copper ore over 200
feet thick has been exploited on Bag
dad ground by churn drilling opera
tions. 1t is also claimed that a body of
over 100000 tons of per cent copper
in the porphyry zone has been estab-
lished, which also carries gold and sill
yer values. Also at other points bored
a sulphide ore has been developed. Over
5000 feet of drilling has been done,
