New Shelter to be Built at
 Douglas.

A Tucson dispatch says: John Greenway, general manager of the Calumet x Arizona Mining company of Arizona, says; eve expect to have the preliminary plaus for the new Cal umet & Arizona smelter ready for sub mission to our board of directors by the first of next month. Of course this does not mean that construction on this plant will begin in the near future. The plans must first be sub- mitted and gone over carefully before the final decision is reached, and if they are approved then much time will be required for placing orders for the manufacture of structural steel and other required machinery"
 The work of making plans for the renovation and reconstruction of the c. & A. shelter at Douglas was start ed month ago.
 It has been understood for some time that this shelter was to be re- modelled, or an entirely new plant constructed, probably on a new loca- tion, though the present location is considered an excellent one. While nothing can be said definitely about what will be decided by the board of directors, the general expectation is that the old plant is to be made the basis of additions and renovations so that the plant will be practically a new One

D. & w. Mining Company
 Makes New Strike.

C.E Wilber of the D. x w. Mining company returned from a visit to the
 property of the company in Whipple
 Mountain this week and left for Los
 Angeles Tuesday evening. He reports the striking of a large body of free
 milling gold ore carrying average val ues of Sl4 in the cross cut at the 700 foot level. This company has been working diligently and intelligently upon their properties for the past four years. Considerable copper ore has been found at various places in the working shaft but it was not until within the past few weeks that work was commenced to cross cut to the foot wall where it was expected that good ore would be found. The judg- ment of the management was well founded as they now have a continuous shoot of ore from the 700 foot level to the surface showing values which will undoubtedly make the mine a dividend paying one in a short period after the installation of reduction machinery.
 It is thought probable that the con- pany will soon commence planning for the installation of plant for handling the ores now in sight. This recent strike at this depth is more than val uable to the district as it not only proves the value of the D. & w. prop erty but prove, the general worth of the district and will encourage the of further development work upon the many properties al- ready located in the Whipple moun- tains. The news comes at this time in a most opportune way for the gen. eral benefit of the mine development of this particular district which the D. & w. company have so diligently preserved in proving.-Needles Eye.

Copper King May Prove Winner.

A report from Bisbee, as yet uncon- frmed, 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 con- sidered of no value because of its situ- ation on the east side of the Dividend fault in the schist zone, heretofore found to be barren in the Warren dis trict.
 However, the property is so close to the ore-bearing Gardner mine that there may be considerable lime in it's confines at depth and the ore may have overhown into the schist to a con- siderable 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 dis trict thoroughly through their exten- sive underground workings-Globe Silver Belt.

The Biggest Locomotive.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway is just completing in it's shops Topeka the largest railway locomotive in the world. It is an articulated. com pound engine and is for use in hauling freight trains over Arizona grades.
 This locomotive is 12l feet long. It will be operated tender foremost, as the great length of the boiler ob- structs the view of the engineer. Oil will he used for fuel, as no man could shovel coal into it fast enough to keep tbe 225 pounds of steam pressure re- quired.
 The boiler is of the sectional, non- explosive type. The engine has dupli- cate, compound air pumps, power re- versing apparatus and two electric headlights, one in front and one at the rear. The locomotive weighs 75O, O,OOO pounds and rests on ten pairs of driv- ing wheels, two leaders under the pilot and two trailers under the cab. making twenty-four wheels under the locomotive itself and twelve under the tender.

lngneous Rocks.

On the geologic map, rocks are dis tinguished as igneous, or of plutonic origin, as sedimentary, and as meta morphic, metamorphic rocks having undergone a chemical or physical metamorphism.
 Igneous rocks are those that have cooled and consolidated from a state of fusion. Molten material or magma from the bowels of the earth has from time to time been forced upward in Assures or channels of various shapes and sizes through rocks of all ages to or nearly to the sur 'ace. Rocks form ed by the consolidation of molten ma- terial, within these channels-that is, below the surface-are called intru- sive. Where inclosed by rock, molten material cools slowly, with the result that intrusive rocks are generally of crystalline texture. Where the chan nels reach the surface the molten ma terial bored out through them is call ed lava, and lavas often bnild up volcanic mountains. Igneous rocks that have solified at the surface are called extrusive or effusive. Lavas generally cool more rapidly than in- trusive rocks, and as a rule contain, especially in their superficial parts, more or less volcanic glass, produced by rapid chilling. The outer parts of lava flows also are usually porous, owing to the expansion of the gases originally present in the magma. Ex- plosive action, due to these gases, often accompanies volcanic eruptions, causing ejections of dust, ash, lapilli, and larger fragments. These mater ials, when consolidated, constitute breccias, agglomerates, and tuffs.

Valdez Has Gold Excitement.

A Tacoma dispatch to the Chronicle says: A Valdez cable says that ore in a five inch vein, some of which is half gold and will average I5,OOOs per ton, part of lead four feet wide, struck at a depth of 1l0 feet on Mineral Creek yesterday, has given Valdez another flush of excitement. The find is of tremendous significance beyond the richness of the ore. The existence of such ore at that depth, experts say, is proof positive of the rich character of quartz bodies that heretofore only have been tapped at the surface. There is a great scramble for interests in the property known as the Valdez Bo- nanza. J. Nj. Hall, a mining engineer, and former partner of ex President Zelaya of Nicaragua, has bought Will ian Gentzler's interest in it, paying OO,OOOS. Since the gold quartz excite ment Valdez has sprung from village of a few hundred to a city of more than 2OOO, majority of whom are still living in tents.

Activity in Tombstone District.

The prediction has been freely made that Tombstone would soon have more men working in the district than any other time in the past few years, and if the plans of Frank M. Murphy are carried out, within three months this prediction will be verified as it ap- pears to be the plan of Mir. Murphy and associates to give leases for the various upper workings of the com pany's properties on what is known as the sliding scale, that is the chloriders are to pay a royalty in proportion to the values of the ores shipped, based on the shelter returns.
 Outside of the different leases grant ed by the company, on some seventy six claims, many independent claims are being worked.
 The Walker claim on which a ledge of silver has been uncovered, running several thousand ounces of horn silver to the ton, is showing up we'll and promises to be a bonanza. The Her shall mine is working a full force of miners and continues to ship its share of ore to the smelters each week.
 The Bisbee Extension people, have taken over the Galvez mines in this district, have five men at work and will shortly increase the number. Shipments are already being made from this property of silver-lead ore.- Tombstone Prospector.

Bagdad Copper Deposits are
 Immense.

Reliable reports are in circulation that the Arizona-NevadaC Copper Com pany, will be superseded by the Bag dad Copper Company. The change in title, however, does not in any manner effect the development of the proper ties and operations will be continued as heretofore. The reason advanced for the change in name, is said to be due to determinations 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 greatest copper de- posits are in existence. It was this group, also, which John Lawler 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 POO feet thick, has been exploited on Bagdad ground by churn drilling operations. It is also claimed that a body of over 5,000,00 tons of per cent copper in the porphyry zone has been established which also carries gold and silver values. Also at other points bored sulphide ore has been developed.

eral Manager P. c. O'Neil. Mir. Will son will leave Saturday morning for Butte, via Los Angeles and Salt Lake.
 While here Mir. Wilson added to his holdings in the district by taking an option on the Dorsey group of claims adjoining the Gold Bar hold ings and will commence development work on this group in addition to the work already being done on the Gold Bar.
 Small payments are being made from month to month to the original owners of the Gold Bar and the first big payment under the option is due June 1. Mir. Wilson expressed him. self as well pleased with the develop ment work already done and in pro gress on the Gold Bar which has been going forward under the direction of Mir. O'Neil for the past eight months.
 ''The showing is very satisfactory" said Mir. Wilson, land we feel justi- fled in taking an option on the adjoin- ing claim" Mir. Wilson intimated that if the development work contin- ued as satisfactory during the succeed ing sixty days that the first payment of consequence to the original owners would be made on June Cooper Era

Resumption At the Occidental.

c. Hunsaker accompanied by Mrs. Hunsaker arrived this morning from Los Angeles, for the purpose of resum- ing operations on the Eldorado- Occi- dental Mining Co. property, Eldorado Canyon. Also in the same party came H. K. Riddall, who will have charge of the assaying and cyaniding and who is regarded as very competent in those and other lines of mining.
 It is about one year ago that this property then under Judge Austin's management-was closed down. At that time, it is recalled, the mill, cya- hide plant and general building equip ment has just been completed and nothing more than trial run made of the working plant.
 It will be a matter of general felici- tation in this section that Mir. Hun saker has resumed active connection with this excellent property with which, in it's early stages, he was so long identified. There is said to be a goodly quantity of milling ore blocked out and that there will soon be steady production. The only change in officers is that John Adams of Buffalo, N. Y., succeeds Judge Austin as director. MT. Hunsaker continues as pre- sident and general manager Searchlight Bulletin.

Harnessing the Colorado.

A proJect which may mean much for this entire section is now well under way at Bulls Head Canyon, some twenty miles below the Riverside Ranch and forty miles above Needles. It is nothing more nor less than the placing of dam 15O feet high across the Colorado River at this point and installing a great plant for the genera tion of electricity to be transmitted to all parts of the surrounding country for the purpose of supplying power and light.
 H. J. Heffron, who is in charge of the work, was in Searchlight this week. This place will be the supply point for the work, which it is expect ed will require three years to con- plete. The distance from here is about forty miles by road, while the distance from Needles is the same, but owing to the fact that it is all up hill from the latter point and bad roads at that, and that it is an all down haul from Searchlight, conditions are in favor of thi, town as a supply point.
 MT. Heffron has at the present time eighteen men employed in preliminary work. Two barges and power boat are in use, and it is the intention of the company to put a large automO- bile on the road between Searchlight and the site of the dam for the pur- pose of hauling supplies. Road build ing is also in progress.
 At the point where the dam is to be placed the river is 500 feet wide. An intrusion of rock harder than the sur rounding country cuts across at this place, making an ideal foundation for the dam.
 The people behind the project are the Chuckawalla Development Co.,, the object of which is to develop by irrigation large tracts of rich agricul- tural land in the Colorado River Val ley, but which are at too great an elevation to permit of the bringing on of water by gravity. The proposition is to pump water from the river by elect ia power.
 Incidental to this work it is also pro- posed to run transmission lines throughout the surrounding country for the purpose of furnishing 'juice'' 10 the various towns and mines.
 Owing to the nearness of Search light to the proposed generating plant it would be necessary to erect a trans mission line of but twenty-five miles in length, which is but a short distance for such work. The line could be | easily run to Eldorado Canyon, as we'll. |
 Cheap electric power would be a great boon to this section. It would | mean the working of mining proper ties at a less cost. besides with the de- velopment of water in the big flat west | of Searchlight, pumps could be install | ed and operated cheaply by means of the new power. Experts have exam ined this land and pronounced it fine | for farming, only needing the appli- | cation of water to make it highly pro- ductive.-Searchligh Bulletin.

The articulated type of locomotive is in reality two separate sets of en- zines with their wheels connected by one long-right boiler of tremendous steam capacity. The rear engine is rigidly attached to this boiler, but the forward engine supports it by a mas sive slide, so as to let the locomotive go around curves.
