INSPIRATION.
Mill Site SeIected-Active Construc

Henry Krumb. consulting engineer fer the Inspiration Consolidated com pany. states that the officials. having site, have placed crews of men at work preparing the mine for produc- tion-
 The mana cement is driving two main working shafts to a depth of 800 feet each, the shafts to he three compartment affairs and equipped with 12-ton skips. There will not be a stick of timber employed in the shafts, everything being reinforced concrete.
 Two main working levels, one 125 feet above the other, are planned, and on the first of these the company is working at Is different places. This number of points of attack shows to what extent the property has been worked.
 Grading for the three miles of rail- road necessary to connect the mine. mill and railroad tracks with the Ari- zona & Eastern road, and grading for inside of two weeks or less. Grading for the pumping plant at the reservoir is now under way.
 The mill will have a daily capacity of 7500 tens of ore, and the plan is to put the same into operation by the unit system. MT. Krumb says that there are approximately 1-2 miles of underground workings in the In- Spiration mine, and this will be add ed to from now on.

OLD DOMINION
Underground Developments Continue
 Favorable.

It is asserted that the Old D0min- ion Mining company's development program-now on a more comprehen. sive scale than ever before-has pro- duced some excellent results, partic- ularly on the 1900 and 400 levels ill the western, or Old Dominion mine, where large quantity of very fine ore is being opened up. A good show ing is also to be noted on the 1900, 1500 and 1900 levels in the Old Do minion mine although it is not as spectacular as on the 1900 and 400 levels.
 At the eastern end, in United Globe ground, levels are being run to the east from the A shaft to connect with the Gray shaft on the 1900 and HOG levels Both of these levels have pass ed through the Gladiator ore body and have shown good results, while the 1900 level is just entering the ore zone.
 The decision of the management to double the milling capacity will make it possible, by the end of the current year, to treat 1000 tons of concentra- ting ore per day in addition to the direct smelting ore. This will give potential productive capacity to the mill of 25,0OO.OOO pounds of copper per annum.

MINER STUNNED BY LIGHTNING IN
 MOCOLLONS
Narrowing Experience in Mountain Storm-Lays Three Days and
 Nights in Soaking Rain.

Lying three days and nights on the rain soaked sides of Black Mountains, in the lofty heights Of the Mogollon range of mountains, unconscious, two days and nights as the result of being stunned by lightning during a fierce mountain storm, is the experience of George L. Whidden a mining man who arrived in Silver City, NM. on Tues day nights auto from Mogollon accom- panied by Mrs. Whidden.
 MT. Whidden had a most narrow es- cape from death by lightning and still narrower escape from death by pneumonia as the result of his hac rowing experience. He had nothing to eat from Sunday afternoon July q until eight o'clock Wednesday night, July "A when he rode into the forest rangers station on Dry Creek, twenty miles below his camp. The rangers had been notified of his disappear ance by Mrs. Whidden who had left the Thursday previous to visit him. She was to have received a telephone message from him Sunday afternoon and failing in same, she waited until the next day and then gave the alarm. The rangers searched the mountains for two days but finally MT. Whidden showed up safe and sound except for badly wrecked set of nerves due to the lightning shock.
 MT. Whidden in recounting his eX- perience says he left his camp on Dry Creek Sunday afternoon to go to the phone station, three miles away in or der to telephone his wife that he was on his way to the ranger station to meet her. His partner, Case, had pre- viouSly gone over to Rain creeE. When about half way up the mountain side, among the heavy timber, a mountain irrh1 the most intense, MT. Whidden says he ever saw. The air was simply blue with electric flame and it seemed to be one continuous volley, so close to- gether were the thunder clapS. That is the last Ic remembers until he came t.. late in inc afternoon of the second cay. He was lying in a puddle of Nater and ne was soaked ron hea to foot by the rain which never caas- ed falling during the three days he was an V0lsIntary prisoner of the clements. When he awoke, he was 90 sore and his limbs ached so. that he could not arise. He tried to light some matches but could not even do that so he lay there until the next morning and then by dint of great eff fort, managed to Timber up his limbs so that he could walk. It took him several hours to climb up to the phone StatlOn ana then 1OunQ IL locKeu- men he staggered back to his camp, reach ing it at three o'clock in the after noon. His partner returned half an hour later and with his assistance they Saddled up and rode to the ranger station twenty miles away, where they received warm welcome, as the en- tire station was uneasy as to his whereabouts, while Mrs. Whidden was on the verge of nervous collapse. Be- yond badly marked thumb, Mr.W hid den does not look any worse for his unusual experience but says he doesn't want to repeat it. The mountain storm he ayers was as near a glimpse into the Inferno as he cares to get.

AR|ZONA'S MINERAL PRODUCTION 1911
 S44,157,253
Output of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc Increased in 1911 By Nearly Million and Half
 Dollars.

The value of the gold, silver, copper lead, and zinc in Arizona in 1911, ac- ording to V. c. Heikes, of the U. $. Geological Survey, was S44, ,15?, ,22S. against $42,731, ,519 in 1910. This in- crease of S1,425,70 was due to Cile erlaraed output of every metal except zi,.c.
 Gold Production Greater.
 lbe production of gold in Arizona in 1911 was valued at $3,430,503, an increase of $2S1, ,137 over 1910. The output consisted of 104,O11.72 ounces from siliceous ore, 51,377.93 ounces from copper ore, 6,65I95 ounces from lead ore, 1,143.63 ounces from placers, and small amounts from zinc ore and mixed ores. Mohave county again led in gold production, Cochise came next, and Yavapai, which was first for many years, had a greatly decreased output. From bullion produced at gold and sii- yer mills 92,622.45 fine ounces of gold were recovered. Concentrates pro- duced 10,939.S9 ounces, and ore ship ped direct to smelters 60,6S9.36 ounces
 Output of Silver Increased.
 The silver production of the State in 1911 was valued at $1, ,5S3, against $1,3S5, 1925 in 1910 This unusual in crease was due largely to the prodnc- tion of lead ore in Cochise County Of  from siliceous ore, 2,136,121 ounces from copper ore, and 635,363 ounces from lead ore. From bullion at gold and silver mills 49,162 ounces of silver was recovered, from concentrates 3SS,173 ounces, and from crude ore shipped to smelters 2,S19,S73 ounces CochiSe and Yavapai counties remain ed the largest producers of silver. The output of Cochise was 1,946,319 ounces of
 Leading Copper Producing State. Arizona remained the leading cop per producing state, increasing the production from 297,491, ,l51 pounds, valued at S37,7S1,376, in 1910, to 30t.- HI ,53S pounds, valued at $3S, ,26I, ,69. in 1911, a gain of S,650,3S7 pounds. la Creases in Pinal and Gila counties more than offset a large decrease in Cochise County.
 Lead Production Increases
 The lead output of Arizona in 1911 was nearly four times as large as that O1 1910, increasing from 2,696 ,99S pounds, valued at $11S,66S, to 10,274, 552 pounds, valued at $462,355-~ Co., chise and Mohave counties were the sources of greatest output and in crease. The Warren district, in Co., chise County, made a record produc- tion-
 Decrease in Zinc Output. The production of zinc in Arizona was 4,562,9 pounds, valued at $260,- 090, in 1911, against 5,4S4,S99 pounds, valued at $296,1S4, in 1910. Cochise, Santa Cruz, and Yavapai counties made small productions, but Mohave County turned out most of the zinc product.
 There were 397 mines producing gold, silver, copper, lead, or zinc, in Arizona in l9ll against 373 in 1910 The total quantity of ore sold or treat ed in 1911 was 4,567 ,139 tons, of which l, ,727 ,451 tons was shipped to smelters without treatment and 2,624,037 tons was concentrated. Over 90 per cent of the total average was copper ore.
