pany, may be gained from the return recently filed at Tombstone by this company, by which it is shown that they shipped during the year of 1911, 2O,703 tons of ore, produc- ing 2,591 ,440 pounds of copper, 104 ounces of gold and 918.6 ounces of silver, the total valuation being $323, ,408 54.
 Wilcox News: Ex-Governor J. N. Gillette, president of the Mascot Copper Company, with F. N Clevenger and A. B. Jackson of Colusa, Cal, were guests at the property for several days this week. They were all we'll pleased and very enthusiastic over the cutting of forty.four feet of sulphide ore recently. Messrs. Gillett and Clevenger have been to the prop erty and inspected the same on several occasions before, but it was MT. Jackson's first trip to the mine and he, as we'll as everyone else, was more than pleased with everything he saw at the camp. Mir. Jackson is a grain broker at Colusa.
 Prescott Journal.Miner: V. A. Smith, we'll known in mining circles of this county as an op- orator and engineer, has returned from Indianapolis, Ind, to make examinations of properties for his firm. He leaves in few days to investigate oil conditions in the Verde Valley, and will also ex- anime mines for eastern investors. Mir Smith was here over one year ago, and his sprediction that artesian water would be developed in that country has been verified by what has been demonstrated at many wells, and practically so at the depth he specified. He is identified with the mining firm of Kirby x Smith in the above eastern city.
 Prescott Journal Miner: Impor- tant developments were made yes- terday affecting the future of the Sun Dance group of mines, in the Hassayampa district, and which adioin the Senator mines on the west lines, by deed being filed for record which transfers that interest from James H. WilkersOn to J. w., F. c. and A. l.. Farwell, of Chicago. The consideration was not given publicity. The property is equip ped with plant, and has many thousand feet of development. The sale is said to indicate the begin ping of immediate development and the new owners are to arrive in a short time to start work. In. cluded in the deal is the old and well known Silver Trail mine which in early days was handsome producer. The group has laid idle for many years owing to litigation
 Jerome News: Thursday, with President Hull and Foreman Fender, the editor of The Newl visited the underground workingl on the Hull and Cleopatra Copper Companies properties. It had beer some months since we had beer through the workings on these properties, and the immense amount of work accomplished since our previous visit was grea surprise.

visit to the different crosscuts and drifts. winzes, shafts and stOpes, the trip is stgsauons one. But it is also a most interesting one. On the Cleopatra dump there is ore piled the value of which MT. Hull estimates at $25,000, and in the stope in the mine what he estimates at about the same figure. This ore is now being shipped to the Swansea Consolidated smelter, Swansea, Arizona, five car loads having been shipped the past week. These shipments will be continued indefinitely.
 Florence Blade: Geo. B. Chit tenden. who developed the great Christmas mines, in the face of the most discouraging circumstances, and was finally "jobbed" out of control of the great property his genius and stocktoitiveness had created, is again in the harness in the Winkelman district. He has obtained control of the old Jack Schneider property, situated short distance northwest of Hayden, and is shipping ore from it. Mir. Chittenden will make another Christmas property out of the Schneider property as it is located on the northwest extension of the great sul phide ore beds that have made the Christmas mine famous. It will afford us a great deal of pleasure to see Mir. Chittenden suc- ceed in his new mining venture as he has earned success by his pion- ger work in the Winkelman dis trict.
 Florence Blade: The Copper Queen Co.,, closed down the Geese man. -Leatherwood property, Sat urday, and will permit it to rest till they can extend a branch of their railroad to it from Tucson. They have demonstrated, to their own satisfaction, that the property Is capable of large and profitable pro- duction, the development work they have been carrying on there for two years past having reveal ed very large and very h.grade sulphide ore bodies in the lower levels of said property. The wagon haul from Tucson. via Oracle to these mines is nearly seventy miles and this makes operating expenses burdensome. In an airline from Oracle, southwest, it is not much over ten, but by the wagon road over ten miles these mines and the road has almost prohibitive grades. The company has surveyed two railroad lines into the mines, one via Oracle and the other up Ga. hada del Orc and both lines are 1 practiCa ble.

also rendered several instrumental
solos and selections. He proved
