PRICES ACTIVE IN YUMA.

YUMA-Charles Anderson, who or arrived in the city yesterday from the placer fields of Ed Shumate and asso- ciates, near Vicksburg, on the A. S c. railroad, reports general revival going on in the quartz as well as placer mining. The SwaneSa Conso- lidated was placing men at work. The outlook for that belt was never so en- coura ging and other mine owners were preparing to resume. In the Quartzite country, Pennsylvania cap- italists had concluded negotiations for taking over the Plomosa placer mines, which embrace an area of over 1000 acres, and a big camp was being built. Operations were to start at once and with the facilities to be introduced to handle the beds he predicted that production will be heavy. The country was being in vestigated by many investors, and an active year should be the out come

 At all events rumors to that ef- feet have been floating round for the past day or two; and while none or the companies have made a direct statement as to the intentions it is known that considerable dissatisfac- ticn exists. And as the state tax commission is the court of last re- sort in this matter, it follows that

 themselves were inclined to be non- commital when questioned about this
 matter yesterday. No formal notice of any intended protest had come to them they said. They did say how ever, that some of the assessors have turned their reports and glance at these reports shows that there {. is quite wide margin between the figures for this and for the proceed LIS veal hdt io, IhCIS sin except in the case of the big Tom bstone Consolidated mines where the property is rated substantially as it was rated last year. This valua- tion is something in excess of $102,- 000
 A few figures, however, taken from those already in, are Illuminating. As an illustration the returns from Yavapai county may be cited. In 1911 the assessor thought that a mat ter of $1,604,0 1000 would be about the right kind of valuation for the pro- ducing hints of that Baliwick This year the man with the lead pencil and the tally sheet made the figures S5, ,260,000, which is something of an increase if anybody happens to ask you or not. Anincrease of approxi- mately $50 per cent is noticeable, to say the least
 And the same thing holds good in Cochise county, whose mines are more valuable than those of Yavapai if the assessors figures stick, and nobody has been found who says they will not-the states eXchequer is in fair way to profit by the policy now in force.

WOODWARD INSPECTING
 IRON CAP COPPER MINE

F. A. Woodward. of Boston, vice president and general manager of the IrCn Cap Copper Co.,, is inspecting the Iron Cap mine at Copper Hill, pre- paratory to resuming development work.
 The mine adjoins the Copper Hill mine of the Arizona Commercial and has been considerably developed but was closed down in 1910 owing to ex- haustion of funds of the National Min ing Exploration company.
 The Iron Cap Copper Co.,, is virtu- ally a reorganization of that company and is capitalized for 100000 shares, par 5000, of which S5,OO0 shares are outstanding, the rest being treasury stock. There is also outstanding a $56, 1000 bond issue
 Mr. Woodward states that there is sufficient money in the treasury to carry on development work during the coming year
 Mir. Woodward has brought lots of money into the district in the past and is one of the men that has done most to make Globe the live mining camp it is today.

 DIAMOND MINE
FINDS CABINETS IN FORMATION THAT MAY LEAD TO DiA-

With some of the rIcnest gold ora
 ever seen in Phoenix. John B. Salp
 rean has returned from his claims in
 the Pike's Peak district, fifty miles north of Phoenix. He has one-foot | ledge of quartz that averages SAG SC to the ton in gold. The ledge has i been traced for three miles.
 This is not all that Sebrean has discovered right in the same district however. He has found fourteen | foot ledge about ten miles nearer Phoenix that runs IT per cent cop per. Nearer his gold ledge he has found an area of SchiSt that carries garnets, and he has alsi located a 1 ledge of magnetic iron.
 Four of MT. Seabrean's gold claims are practically sold. A deal is now to develop his copper property. He also has a number of other claims on the same ledge that he intends to hold and develop at 8. later date.
 The gold ledge is quartz between schist walls. On the surface the quartz is stained red with oxide. MT. Seabrean has sunk a 20 foot shaft, the bottom of which seems to be pretty we'll out of the oxide zone. Values in the bottom and on the sur face are about the same. Some specimens of ore were taken out of the shaft that ran as high as 1000 a ton. The gold is greatly diSSem mat ed through the schist walls: In some places the schist carries gold for sew eral inches on each side of the ledge. All the ore is free milling and in most of it the gold is visible to the naked eye.
 MT. Seabrean has investigated his garnet find very little. Garnets, dia- monds and rubies belong to the same group of gems. That is, their origin is the same, MT. Seabrean hopes that he may find diamonds on his ground
 Beardsley, fourteen miles away, is the nearest railroad point. The cop per discovery is sixteen miles from Beardsley but is more advantageous ly situatd, since it is right on the wagon road that runs to the Morgan mine.
 The fourteen foot copper ledge has been traced for a mile. The ore is lime, Dorihry formation between schist. The copper occurs in silica and red oxide. There are no eviden- ces of sulpnides on the surface, but it is believed that when the level of Morgan creek, which runs only a short distance away, is reached, a heavy sulphide zone will be entered.
 Mir Seabrean has been mining in Arizona for number of years, but he says that he has never found more heavily mineralized district than that around Pike's Peak. He is convinced that his copper prospect will develop into a great mine and as soon as he gets the money for his gold claims he will inaugurate devel- Opment work-Democrat

TITLE TO MINE INVOLV-.
 ED IN BIG SUIT

KINGMAN-A petition in error from the superior court of Mohave county, in which the parties are Fred 6. Peachy, plaintiff and O. D. M. Cad siis, J. II. Rosenberg, administrator G the estate of w. E. Souls, Josh R. Clair, Mrs. R. R. Souls and John L.. Souls are defendants, was filed in the supreme court, The proceeding in. wolves the title to certain mining; property in the county named above, the reputed value of which is $500,- coo
 The allegations contained in the petition are to the effect that the claims which constitute his prop cry were originally located in 1903. Some work, it seems, was done and then, according to the aver ments, the mine was apparently abandoned. Later, in 1907, the claims were relocated, whereupon a suit was brought. In the litigation that followed a motion to dismiss the original suit was granted and it is to obtain a reversal of this finding by the superior court that the case has been taken to the supreme court.
