four feet. A Smal! SIfeak III Iho foih' from which shipping ore was taken gave over 800 ounces silver to the ton. The vein is an excellent one. the ore showing we'll in the outcrop.
 We would impress upon the voters of the state the necessity of voting NO on the proposition ot saddling a mine under lease or option with the debts of the leassee or contractor. Remem- Der that this proposition is numbered 3O2 Yes, and 303 No. Vote in the square after 3O3. The passage of this law would do the working miner no good, while at the same time it would make the bonding or leasing of mines impossible, the owners fearing that such action would result ln the loss of the property. Arizona needs no arbi trary laws of this character.
 The Gold Reed Mining and Milling company, composed of H. H. Shuck. of Oatman, and Bisbee, Arizona, people, has installed gasoline holster on the Jupiter group of mines. near the Tom Reed property, and are sinking below the IA level, expecting to continue to the $50 fcot level. The big ledge that on the surface showed vein pitch of 80 degrees south is now pitching S5 degrees to the north aud is showing every indication of becoming great producer. Mir. Shuck is in charge of the property for the company and is making big headway in it's develop ment.
 Ross D. McCauseland has taken an option on the Metallic Accident mine, at Mineral Park, from Thomas Me Nicely, and will soon have a number of men at work developing the property. The Metallic Accident is one of the old rich properties of the district, it hav- ing been discovered by the late Thomas J. Christy in the latter part of the seventies. The ore found in the outcrop ran as high as eight dollars in silver to the pound. A drift cuts large veln on the property at depth of about 200 feet, where good grade of copper was found. It is this ore that Mir. Causeland will open up.
 Anson H. Smith. O B. Stanton and Philip Smith this week visited the moly bdenlte mines owned by Smith, Sawyer and Company These mines are situated in Copper Canyon and Deluge Wash, five miles north of Cedar, and are among the greatest veins in the state. The dump ores, from which recent sample was taken, gave an average of more than 24 per cent moly bdenite, besides three per cent copper. About 300 tons of the ore is now on the dump, the drifts having been run in on the veins more than l40 feet. taking out width of about six feet in places. Mir. Stanton was greatly surprised with the show ing in this property and believes it one of the big things of the state.
 Many of the mining papers of the country are raising their voices in protest against the rule of the Copper Queen and Calumet and Arizona pav- ing their muckers four dollars per day, alleging that muckers are the lowest grade of miners. It seems strange that men that are supposed to know enough to run newspaper deal ing with mining topics are so dense on the subject of mine labor. To those that know a mucker is one of the i'm portant factors in mine work, the ex. pert mucker handling more brok en rock in the same space of time than could any other class of labor. To be an expert mucker is just as important as being an expert miner, the two dovetailng in together to make com. petent whole. We have seen a muck CT send to the surface sixty tons O broken rock where men that though
 they knew could barely send out fort, tons, and this is the reason why min Ing companies are beginning t, recognize the importance of trained shovel men in the underground work ing of the mines. A man may fail al a miner. but as mucker he may mak,
 good, and vice versa.
