MINING ACTIVITY.

Probably never in the history Of
mining has there been greater activi-
ty on the part of the leading copper
mining interests to secure properties
than at the present.
We recently noted that the Am
erican Smelling & Refining Co, had
a large force of engineers in the field
in an active hunt for properties, and
Thomas II. Leggett. of Leggett Il
Holman, prominent mining engineers
has recently been placed in full charge
of the company's field examinations
with title of Consulting Engineer of
Mines department of the A. s. & r.
Co." The Guggenheim interests have
recently acquired options on large
groups of properties. in Arizona, Ne
vada, Montana and in Canada.
The Phelps-Dodge interests are
active in the field. having recently
purchased control of the Chemung
property in the Burro mountain dis
trict of New Mexico. paying therefor
81, 20O.0 900. They have also purchas-
ed the Giesemann claims in Catalina
mountains, forty miles from Tucson.
In Globe. Arizona. the Calumet &
Arizona Co, have purchased the
Cobre-Verde properties of 81 claims,
the option price being 100000. This
purchase follows the acquisition of a
large number of claims in the Super
Tor camp. 80 miles from Globe, upon
which no work has yet been attempt
ed.
All of the large companies are ac-
tive in the hunt for properties, and
there are apparently millions of dol
lars available for such investments.

an alloy of copper as the percentage
now being experimental with it
would need on our present output
about 1000, 900 pounds annually.
and with each added year showing

If this experiment of putting in
about enc per cent of copper in the
steel makes it tougher, as claimed it
will by those who profess to know, it
will also be employed in other forms
of steel than rails. going into those
shapes where the extra t%oughness is
demanded, and being used in greater
volume than the steel rail business
would indicate. Even 60. 900 900
