Copper Found at LeadviIIe.

A Leadville, Colo, dispatch says: Development at depth in the Sugar Loaf section of the Leadville district indicates the coming transformation of the region into a great copper camp. Placer mining for gold was the first activity in Leadville. Then following the discovery of immense silver-bear- ing lead carbonate deposits in blanket formations. Later some of the mines became producers of high-grade gold ore. Of recent years the production of zinc sulphide ores has been an impor- tant industry, and only last year large deposits of zinc carbonates that hao previously escaped detection were found and have added largely to the yearly output of the district. Within the last few years also, exploration has disclosed huge ore shoots in Assure veins that extend through the overly ing limestone and quartzite down into the granite. Two years ago, J. D. Irv- ing, then with the United States Geo logical Survey, was quoted as saying: ''The Sugar Loaf section will be a second Butte when you have attained the depth. The formation is exactly the same and if you should put Butte man into one of the Sugar Loaf prop ertIes without letting him known

The discovery was made at point some distance from the old workings, and as far as explored the vein shows a width of thirty inches, the values be- ing encountered practically at the grass roots. Six ore shoots are known to be in existence on the system, but this was the first exploration extended that section. AppreciatIng the possibil- ities of the group, Prof. A. s. Rother- nell, mining engineer, recently exam ined ground, and was so favorably impressed with the showing, that be a quired an interest, directing the work to be followed from the point where the strike was made. The pur- pose is to continue the shaft to depth, and later crosscutting will be prosecut- ed to explore other shoots. It is Prof. Rothermell's belief that the point where the strike has been demonstrat- ed is the mother vein of the system.- Journal Miner.

OId Mine Worth Millions.

A Chihuahua dispatch says: The recent discovery of the mines of the Campania Miera de Naica has again aroused eat interest in the mines of that camp. This district, including several of the larger mines, has been working for the past 310 years.
 For many generations the mines pro- duced large quantities of silver and lead with value of about 40S which was reduced in rude adobe smelters near the mines.
 The ore formations occurred in pockets or large caves connected by a series of stringers. As fast as one pocket was cleaned of its ore the stringers were follow ed up to the next. After making the mistake of following up a blind lead tho mines were aban- doned and remained idle for great many years. During the operations it was impossible to block out the ore. More caves were holed into and the stock of the company which at one time went begging at a few dollars per share, bounced to 3,OOOS per share.
 Recently the United States Smelling and Refining company, competitors of the American Smelling and Refining company, took six months lease on the holdings of the company and at the expiration of Sat time made an offer of 4,OOO,OOOS This, however, was refused, the company setting a price of 5000, COOS upon their holdings.
 Recently at the water level in the main working shaft ore running 2,O0OS per ton was broken into and new and expensive machinery is now being in- stalled.

Quinner Machine a Failure.

As soon as the political situation in northwestern Mexico is cleared by the fall elections, it is believed the great developments in the placer fields in the Altar district will begin at once. Among the optimists in thls direction is Oscar G. Rogers, who with his assoc iates, owns between 1900 and 1,40O hectares of placer ground.
 About lOO,OOOS has already been spent on our placers, but we believe we have infinitely larger returns in sight," said Mir. Rogers. "Our claims are situated about 50 miles west of Las Palomas. We will install a dredge soon and begin working the gravel.
 "The Quinner machine has not proven altogether a success. It dis integrates the gravel, but leaves the mineral so it can hardly be handled afterward. Further, the Quirner ma- chine does not handle enough gravel in day for the best results."-Tucson Citizen.

Warrington, Hawthorne and Lucky Boy are deserted today as all who were able have rushed to the Mount Grant district to locate mining claims. The rush was occasioned by the find- ing of a rich ledge on claim located about a mile to the north of the Rovard property. It is claimed that a ledge, some eighteen inches in width, has been found which gives values in free gold of lOOOs a ton. The country has been located for miles around the location and it is believed that other veins will soon be disclosed. It is thought that the vein found is the parent vein of the section and which has supplied the placer ground below. Reno Journal.

Big Merger Planned
 in GoIdfield Mines.

The biggest mining deal that has taken place in Goldfeld since the days of the consolidation of the Mohawk, Jumbo, Combination and Red Top, which occurred something like five years ago, is now on the sister camp, and if it goes through, which now seems moro than likely, it means not only the entrance into the camp of men who are at the head of the mining industry in the United States but it means that the power and the control of the camp, which has been vested in the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Co. for so long a time, will in a measure be wrested from them, and Goldfield, instead of re- maining a one company camp, will en- joy the same freedom that obtains in Tonopah and other places where con- trol is divided among several compan- ies. In fact it will be the making of Goldfeld.
 For several weeks past emissaries of ex-Senator William A. Clark of Montana and F. Nj. (Borax) Smith have been in Goldfeld in consultation with the powers that control the Merger Mines Co.,, and after considerable par leying and submission of numerous pro- positions, following the examination of the property by their experts, ar engagements have been concluded whereby the ex-senator and the borax king take over the control of the Mer- ger at price stated to be somewhere near l5 cents per share.
 The Merger Mining Co.,, as will be remembered by many of the old-time readers of the miner, comprises the property formerly owned by the St. Ives, Velvet, Gold Horn and includes about 10 full claims and a little to the south of the Lone Star group northeast of the Atlanta, and almost east and bordering on the old Jumbo and Jumb bo Extension. Surrounded by such pro- perties and in such fertile territory the ground has always been regarded as of the best in Goldfeld district, and in the past few years numerous deals have been on for its sale, but intend ing purchasers, it can be stated with some degree of accuracy, have been scared off by threats of apex suits. In the present instance however, threats have been of no avail. During the leasing system several of the claims included in the deal have produced many thousands of dollars, but for the past three years, with the exception of two leases, little has been done on the ground. though many ledges of milling ore have been opened up.
 As near as can be learned Clark and Smith take over the balance of stock remaining in the treasury, something like l,20O,0 shares, and have been given an option on a slightly larger amount of ownership stock, thus giving them control of the capitalization Tonopah Miner.

S tipping Ore From
 Black Butte Leases.

Shipments of several tons of fair grade ore made this week from the Ginnity lease on the Black Butte. an- other shipment is being prepared by William Lipps, and Campbell 6 Co are taking out and saving ore that will soon amount to a good shipment.
 The Ginnity ore is coming from the old Campbell block of ground that made considerable production about a year ago. and on which Ginnity took a lease soon after Campbell quit Campbell & Co. began operations about two weeks ago on a vein that was cut by the Dortch shaft by depth of about loo feet, and almost immediately broke into pay ore When the shaft passed through this vein in sinking, DO atten- tion was paid to it, but Campbell recent ly got a 'hunch" that he could find some ore there, and secured a lease and went to work. The soundness of his judgment is now being well borne out by the result of development, and he will soon be ready to make a good shipment.

Good Returns.

The Yavapai Metals and Refining company has received net returns amounting to ,, 1858 from a shipment If SO,9S4 pounds of ore to the shelter re- gently. The shipment was the second made from the Yavapai Metals mi-e and four tons of another car load have also been delivered at Humboldt, Ari- zona.
 The Yavapai Metals mine, is one of the few copper mines of the territory that has paid all the expenses of early exploration hy the diScoverer, who started to work on it without any capi- tai. That mines of good value may be opened up and operated without the assistance of outside capital, the suc- cessful operation of this large copper project proves conclusively.-Jerome News.

A New York dispatch of Aug. 3, 1911 says: The Postal Telegraph cable company filed bill in equity in the chancery court of New Jersey early last week to enjoin the anthori- ties of Hudson County from interfer- ing with the Postal company con- structlng its telegraph lines on a high way in that county. The bill sets forth that the company has franchise from Congress under the post road act of July "A, 1886 and that an application to the authorities had been made for the usual permit, but the county off, cials had delayed action from time to time on various pretextes and apparent ly had no intention of acting at all. When the employees of the company started work without a permit or grant from the courts they were stop ped by the Police. ThereupUn the Postal company through Vredenburg, Wall and Cary commenced suit for an injunction. Vice Chancellor Garrison yesterday granted an order which gives the county officials two weeks within which to pass reasonable reg ulations in regard to construction and in case they do not comply within that time the company is authorized to pro- ceed with it's construction without any regulation.

COLOR AND SOUND.
Hues That Are Unseen and Tones That
Are Unheard.

The primary colors shown in the
rainbow vary from red to blue and
violet, and the vibrations or lengths
of the light waves that give us violet
grow shorter and shorter and Mt length
give us red These vibrations can be
measured. One day, quite by chance,
came across the statement that there
were innumerable light waves lohger
than those which give violet. At once
the question sprang. Were these longer
waves represented 10y colors which we
don't see, colors for which we have no
name, colors of which we can form
no conception And was the same
thing true of the waves which, grow
ing shorter and shorter, give us the
sensation of red? There Is room, of
course. for myriads of colors beyond
this other extremity of our vision. A
little study convinced me that my
guess was right, for all the colors
which we see are represented to our
sense of feeling in degrees of heat;
that is, blue shows one reading on the
thermometer and red n higher read
ing, and by means of this new stand
ard | discovered that mans range of
vision is not even placed in the mid
die of the register of heat, but occu-
pies little space far up toward the
warmer extremity of it. There are
thousands of degrees OF cold lower
than blue and hundreds of degrees of
heat above red. All these gradations
are doubtless represented by colors
which no human eye can perceive, no
human mind imagine. Ii Is with sight

there are noises louder than thunder
which we cannot hear, the roar that
