duties.
The new place selected is the alcove

providing a space about 20x30 feet,
which will give ample accommodations
and prove more convenient than the

he Tennessee.

The Tennessee mine, at Chloride, is also owned by the Needles Mining & Smelling co ppany. It now has a shaft on the property at depth of 700 feet, at whic point all exploration is being carried O.. t is on this level that the big re b y is reported to have been opened and from which it is prob able large future shipments will be made. The company is also cutting toward the Great Lead, parallel vein to that of the Tennessee, and from which it is expected great ore bodies will be taken. The mine has been pro- ducing only a short time, although some ore has been shipped from the old tailings pits and from the dumps. During the past two months regular shipments have been made from the mine, the monthly average being about fourteen cars of 40 tons each. This ore is high in lead and carries gold and silver. It is estimated that the values will run about 35S to the ton, making it most desirable smelling Ora

The Tom Reed.
America.

The Tom Reed mine was among the biggest of the gold producers of the county during 1911, the mine sending to the mill 3l, 725 tons of ore of a value of approximately 25S per ton. The total bullion extracted was 747, 7,6S0S, the percentage of extraction being above 90 per cent. The mine has been opened to the 600 and the ore body shows great width and uniform value throughout that level. The company has done much active development on the property during the year and has big ore reserves. Owing to the lack of an adequate water supply during part of the year 1t was found impossi ble to operate part of the thirty stamps of the mill, but now sufficient water is obtainable and the company will be in position to handle greater tonnage of ore and possibly extract some of the lower grades in the upper levels of the property. It is well known fact that on the 240 level the mine has ore bodies sixteen feet in width that will average above l4$, but this has been left practically intact owing to the fact that the milling fla cllities at the time that the work was being carried on in that part of the mine was very limited. Later when the new mill was put in commission the water supply precluded the hand. ling Of the lower grade ore bodies, the high grade furnishing the neces- sary quantity.
 Since the mine came under the con- trol of the Tom Reed Gold Mines con- pany s. $. Jones has been in the active management of the mine and mill and Charles Grimes has been president and acting director of the company at the property. These two men have practically made the mine what it is today, bringing it from non producer to one of the great gold mines of the world. B. L. Lunceford has been one of Mr. Jones' able lieutenants in the mill and has made manyimprovements in the cyanidation of the ores. At a later date we will go more fully into the history and workings of this prop erty. .as.-

The Grand GuIch.

During 1910 the Grand Gulch mine produced 4,5OO pounds of copper, also some gold and silver, but the year 1911 sbow ed wonderful increase in the tonnage on account of the fac, that the haulage of the ores could be made to Moapa, instead of the long haul to the railroad northwest of St. George. The company has been piling up it's ore at St. Thomas, await ing the completion of the branch line to that place, which has reduced the haulage to 40 miles, During the year the production of copper is estimated at 10000 pounds, valued at l23,000$ and 3,5oOS in gold and silver, a total of about l26,5OOs. The company also

The Banner Mines.

The Banner group of mines. at Stockton Hill has received many bet terments d ring the year, notably that of an aerial tramway from the mines to the foot of the hill, dis tance of more than two miles, where the ores are delivered into the big bins. From this point the ores are either hauled to the railroad at Berry siding or to Kinyman. Shipments have been made from the mines only part of the year, the tonnage being ap. proximately 4,500 tons of ore carrying gold, silver and lead to the value of about 4O$, and giving total value of about 1SO.O00$. The, mine has been under he engagement of Supt. Hoff. man since i was taken over by the corporation. D. R. Muir, is the mana ger of the company, which is another of the U. s. S., R. x M. comDany's auxiliaries. It has smelling plant at Needles and big concentrating plant, at wlich all the ores from the mines is treated. The mines have been opened to depth of 500 feet and the ore showing is said to be good. The body on the adit level is reported to be more than 20O0 feet in length, and while small in places, is of good workable width practically the whole distance. The mine is capable of pro- ducing daily tonnage of .. about 40 tons. '..C
 With the New Year the mine will undoubtedly begin the shipment of a larger tonnage and better grade of ore.
 The same company also shipped several thousand tons of ore of a splendid grade from the Champion mine, near Cerbat. The ores of the Champion were high in gold, silver and lead, the lead running better than 35 per cent. No work is now being done on this property, the company concentrating its energies on the Ten nessee and Banner mines.

ing below the Golconda. is another of the great zinc bodies, the vein being the largest of the group. Combining all the properties there is enough ore in sight at the present time to make the property producer for years to come. At the present time the mines are in position to make an immense production for the year 1912 and it ap. pears to be the intention of the management to make this a record year. The big mill is capable of treat
 ing the lower grades of ore at a profit. and together with the great bodies of clean ore the railroad to Kingman ought to be kept busy hauling the product for shipment to the smelters.
 John Boyle, jr., took over the prop, erty when it was mere prospect, has made this mine one of the greatest in the territory, giving it a value at the prrseut time of more than 1000, ,00O$.

GoIconda Mines.

While the past year has been one of exploitation rather than production the Golconda mine has been covering all betterments with its output. The property is one of the greatest of the zinc mines of the southwest, having the most ideal of all western zinc ores. The betterments at the mine during the year has been the con- pletion of the new mill, the building of a long tram from the mill to the level country west of the mine, and the driving of an adit drift through the Prosperity vein to point some hundreds of feet below the present Golconda shaft level. The driving of this drift has taken both time and money, but it was found to be neces- sity for the un watering of the lower workings of the mine, which some time ago were flooded when large volume of water was encountered in driving the drifts on the 335 level.
 The mine during the year outputted raw ore and concentrates to the total tonnage of 6758 tons, which was ship ped to the zinc shelter at Chlckasha, Oklahoma, returning 4,53s,000 pounds of zinc. This ore carries values in gold and silver and the return from the smelters was ll6, 1928, somewhat below the returns for the year 1910.
 The main shaft of the mine, having been unwatered by the near approach of the adit drift, has been sunk 80 feet below the level to depth of 4l5 feet, and drifts are now being carried off on the vein. The shaft was sunk in solid shipping ore. To show the quality of the ore we refer to the fact that last week B tons of fifty per cent zinc ore was broken in the shaft and sent to the surface in one day.
 The drifts are now being run on this heavy zinc ore, not one pound of waste coming from the openings. It is ex- pedted that the same quality of ore will be opened that the drifts above show, where the body of zinc in places opens out to a width of eleven feet.
 The mines are the most remarkable in the territory, and for that matter, probably the greatest ever discovered in the United States. They comprise group that show massive ore bodies wherever opened. In driving the Prosperity drift an almost unbroken ore body was found throughout its en- tire length, much of it being very high grade zinc. The Tub mine, ly-

Miscellaneous Production.

Aside from the product ion of gold and silver by the Tom Reed and Gold Road the production of the metals by the other mines shows an exceptionally good increase. The Ruth. CycloDic. Frisco Mines & Power, the placers and many small mines will have made a production that will total fully O.O00$ The Frisco Mines & Power company in the latter days of the year became regular bullion producer, the last bar from that mill being valued at 5,5 OS, and the month of December showing production of better than HOODS. The Ruth has been a regular shipper of bullion for some months and gives promise of being among the big things of the San Francisco district Many of the small mines have either pro- duced by arastra or by the shipment of ores to the outside plants. Quite a large number of mines have made pro- duction in this way, some shipping as high as 200 tons of very good ore. The estimate of lOO,oOQS from this source from the information at hand is very conservative.

Compared with production from all sources last year of l,l56,279 gain of approximately 900,O00$.
 While the increase shows healthy condition of mining it is small com pared with the predicted increase dur ing the year 1912. With the extension of the Frisco mill, the increased pro- duction of the Banner and Tennessee. the enlargement of the Gold Road mlll, the increased production of the Ruth and the opening of many other mines. the year 1912 promises to be the banner for the county.

Statewide Prohibition Notes
(seal)

Little Rock, March 27.-Now
that the initiation of the state wide
prohibition bill is a certainty, plans
are already being laid for the cam
paign that is to be prosecuted until
the September election for its adop-
tion. Among the plans proposed
is the division of the state into five
districts, with a superintendent in
charge of each, for the thorough
Canvassing of the state. The peti-
tions are now being circulated syste
matlcally in every county of the
state, under the direction of chair
man, who is devoted to the cause.
W. ID. Reaves of Helena has join
ed the 500 club of the statewide
prohibition campaign, having CON
tributed that amount toward the
S25, 900 fund. At the mass meeting
held in Pine Bluff, Dr. &. q. Cline
was appointed chairman for Jeffer-
son county, and 1915 was contrib.
uted to the fund, placing Pine Bluff
second on the list. Helena leads,
with $500, Newport is third, Stutt.
CART fourth and Prescott fifth.
Wherever the workers 60 they ex-
perience no difficulty in securing
sufficient funds.
Supt. Frank Barrett of the state
wide campaign has fled since the
last report 250O more names on the
initiation petition, making a total Of
64oO, or just half enough. But it
is tbe purpose of the league to Sc
cure three or four times as many
signatures as required by law, so
that there may be no doubt what
ever Of 1t. Reports Me coming in
by every mail. Rev. 9. f. Hiveley
of Sulphur Rock still leads in the
number of names secured, having
turned in over one thousand, from
Independence county alone. There
are now over four thousand blank
petitions in circulation over the
state, and more going out daily.
Since the last report meetings
have been held by the prohibition
workers at Warren, Earle, PHkin,
