that there was sufficient extra height
above the water TO keep out the tide ana
waves, which are not high in the harbor.
The work Of completing the cofferdam

Inspiration Copper Co.

W. II. Aldridge, managing director
of Inspiration says: 1--WE have decided
that before beginning the construct
ion of the mill of 5000 tons daily cap
acity we will try out in the experiment
tai mill the new flow sheet proposed
by Mr.. Callow. This will be on scale
equivalent to one sixth of section of
the proposed new mill or about $50
tons daily capacity. During this time
work will continue on the plans and
specifications of the large mill and
other surface equipment. The flow
sheet is largely copy of Utah Copper
practice, but carries step farther the
roughing system which has done SO
much in improving the recoveries
from the ores of the 'porDhyry cop
pers.' 1t has not yet been definitely
determined whether the mill will be
so situated that the ore will he hauled
to the water or that the water will be
pumped 10 the ore. An intermediate
course involving haul of less than
three miles may be adopted. Charles
Il. Redpath, who is designing the mill
is also at work on the plans for the
new Cole-Ryan smeltery at Douglas,
and for the new United Verde smelt-
cry at Jerome. The ore now blocked
out at the Inspiration amounts to
approximately 3O,OOO,OOO tons averag-
ing l.95 per cent. copper. Adding to
this tonnage the tonnage reported to
be developed by Miami, Keystone and
Live Oak, the Miami Ins piration ore
body can now be counted upon to yield
over 62,O00,OO0 tons of ere averaging
2.25 per cent. copper and ranks third
among the big porphyry ore bodies.

Anzona Copper.

A report by DR.. Ricketts, on the
general condition of the Arizona Cop
per company's mines and reduction
plants has been forwarded to Scotland
and it is expected that a decision will
be soon reached regarding the location
of the new smelter.
Thare has been a considerable diff
ference of opinion as to the site for
this plant, some interests being
in favor of placing it at Clifton, which
would necessitate building it upon a
plateau above the town, others favor
ing a location below the town near the
Shannon smelter. The latter location
would permit of operations being car
ried on continuously pending the COM
pletion of the new plant.
The Arizona Copper company has
long been in need of a modern and
more efficient smelter, the present
plant having been in operation more
than thirteen years, and it is for the
purpose of making these changes that
the recent inspections of the proper
ties have been made. 1t is estimated
that the necessary construction work
will call for from 1,5OO, ,OOOS to 2,OOO,-
COOS.
The September output of the Ari-
zona Copper company was 2,544, 900
pounds of copper, slight decrease as
compared with the corresponding
month last year, when 2,672, 900 pounds
was produced.

Fifty Years After.

For long life, the mines on the Com
stock Lode must certainly take pre-
cedence oyer any other region in the
country. Today they still maintain
their production, with no limit yet set
as to their ultimate exhaustion. Com
menting thus, the Tribune of Gold
field, pays the following tribute to the
premier mining region of Nevada.
"After a steady production for fifty
years, the Comstock mines surprise
the visitor with their activity. On
every side there is evidence of some
thing doing that promises to rebound
to the advantage of the veteran camp
in the shape of dividends. One of the
greatest surprises is the construction
of the huge Mexican mill, whose pro-
portions begin to loom on the land
scape in a way that convlnces the
average and most superficial observer
that the Comstock has come back into
the dividend class. In the meantime
the old mills identified with pioneer
days continue to pound out their gold
and silver contents with a regularity
that astonishes the impressed spec
tater. And this ore comes from a
depth of $500 feet"

Important Deal is Re-
ported Closed.

Yesterday announcement was made
by Geo. D. Thayer, manager of the
Arizona Land and Irrigation company,
that he had been directed by James E.
Watson, of Indianapolis, Indiana, to
close negotiations for the taking over
of the Wynkoop ranch on Willow
creek by making the final payment.
This transaction, accordingly, will be
concluded in a few days. 1t embraces
900 acres. In the meantime, Mr..
Thayer will establish his headquarters
there, beginning the clearing of the
underbrush at certain points and the
removal of the boulders for construct
ing Golfer dams, preparatory to start
ing work on the large impounding
dam to be built at the mouth of Will
low Creek. Lumber and other ma
terial was taken to the place yester-
day and today mechanics and laborers
will be taken out. This ranch has
been under option TO the company for
several months, and one payment was
made on the purchase price of 20,000S
for the land, which is patented. In
cluded in this acreage is the site for
the main storage reservoir to irrigate
81, 900 acres in Lonesome valley.
F. B. Walker, of Chicago, who will
be ief engineer of the company, will
arrive ana assume charge of dam con-
struction on November 1st. when the
greatest land reclamation project ever
inaugurated IN Central or Northern
Arizona will be sJarted.-JoCrnal-

DISTRICT COURT.

Last Tuesday the October session of
the District Court convened with Judge
E. NJ. Doe presiding.
Tuesday was given to hearing mo-
tions and setting the causes on thh
calendar. Quite a number of causes
were heard and disposed of. Among
them was that of the Territory in the
causes of several convicted in Justices
court on charges of running gambling
games. The causes were returned to
the Justices court because of the fail
ure to perfect appeals on time. The
men had been fined one hundred dol
lars each and now the penalty is made
operative.
Tom Lee against Nevada Arizona G..
NJ. Company, appealed from Justices
court. The appeal was dismissed as i'm
perfect and judgment for plaintiff will
stand.
The grand jury found number of
indictments and were discharged
Thursday afternoon.
In the matter of the Territory of Ari-
zona against Apolonio Flores, the
charge being mayhem, jury found the
defendant guilty of murder in the
second degree. Flores had assaulted
a man named Ryan last May and bit
off part of his nose. Blood poison re-
suited and Ryan died within two weeks.
Flores took his conviction as a matter
of course and smiled when he was lead
from the court room by the officers.
The Territory of Arizona VS.. James
W. Haas, was tried and the court di-
rected verdict of not guilty. Haas
was indicted of the charge of obstruct-
ing public highway by sinking a shaft
therein, but the court held that there
was no public highway under the law.
Haas had located a mining claim in
Mineral Park running across the road
leading to. the Keystone and other
mines in that basin and sunk a shaft in
the center of the highway and then
made threats against any one that
sought Go pass over the claim.
Court will probably be in session the
greater part of next week, there being
a number of personal injury cases that
will be tried before a jury. There are
also several causes to quiet title to
mining property.

One night last week the safe of the

at the time, the robbers overlooking
several hundred dollars that had been
placed in the safe in an envelope the

checks to the value of more than l2OOS
