When he reached the sulphide zone on the 300 foot level the copper tenor Of the ore Was between and Q per cent, and carried sufficient lime and
 ron in the matrix to enable him tO successfully matte the ore without adding additional fluxing materials thereto. The matte averaged about 70 per cent copper and some copper bullion was also drawn from the fur mace But the company was greatly handicapped by excessive trans pOrta- tioE charges on both the outgoing and incoming material and the stock holders grew tired Of waiting for div idends. As a result they got into quarrels among themselves, and the control of the property was passed over to the Development company of America. just before they got into their financial tangle, and has lain idie for more than a year past.

The Siamese mine, of the Arizol a Southwestern Copper company's group of mines at CopperviIle, is said to have wonderful showing of ore that will average above s2O in gold, silver and lead. The vein IS more than twenty feet wide, the whole width being ore. With the necessary de- Eelopment and the erection of a con- centrdtng plant at the mines the property will soon he making a biz record for itself The company has spent large amount of money in the development of the mines and the building of a wagon road across the mountain from Blue Mary spring. The road is now in use and is found to be d great convenience in the bringing of supplies from the railroaI to the camp. WitE the opening of warm weather it is probable that the new milling plant will be assembled at the mines and the work Of cree tio1 under way.
 C. J. Hutchinson and c. B. VanDe- man are in New York on business connected with the Ruth Gold Mines
 
 the Ruth and Rattan mines in the Silver Creek section, and are develop ing that property into a most invit- ing mining proposition. The shaft is teing sunk below the 200 level, with the intention of sinking to a depth Of s60 feet and opening that part of the mine with levels at each 100 feet On the 100 level of the property splendid ore has been opened up, while the 200 level shows the same general grade of ore The vein in places is very large and the values are very regu- lar throughout
 John Ford, who has been in charge Of the San Francisco mine, while the property has been idle, came to King nan a few days ago to attend to some business affairs He is of the opinion that the mine will soon be put under high state of development MT.

cation which the leading growers of
the State formed several years ago

a large proportion OF the crop of the
State since its formation. 1t is for
the growers themselves to decide
whether the operation of the En-

II is for the growers to say whether
they have benefited by systematic
handling of their product. by the in
