FALLS VILLAGE
BUILD POWER PLANT

Surveyors are still at work, along the canal and in other localities, and it seems to be the general impression though the engineers themselves are close mouthed on the subject-that they are preparing for the erection of a power plant, with a dam in the immediate of the falls at Amesyille. the building itself to be at a point on the river about opposite the Arch" The plan, it is understood, is to convey the water through six-foot tube, along the original canal. A contractor was in town last week in search of house for occupancy during the progress of the work of building. The engineers are sent here by the Stone 6 Webster En- gineering Company, of Boston, a concern that has constructed much and extensive work of that character In various parts of the country.

Woman could not be relied upon to exercise good judg- >ment in voting. She changes her mind far too often" The next speaker was a young woman. She arose and cast a plying glance at her opponent.

An electric dynamo from the Ari- zona Mine Supply Company will be shipped to the Tip Top mine next week, it being the last piece of ma- chinery needed to complete the new plant for the reduction of the ores of the old Tip Top---famous in early years as producer of horn, chloride and native silver, but now about to be worked for the tungsten contained in ore abandoned as worthless in those days. The dumps and stopes are full of this class of ore. It has been found that it can be concentrated In an ordinary pan so that it will assay 56 per cent tungstic acid, and that con- centrators will raise this average to 50 per cent. Ore running 60 per cent tungstic acid is today worth about 5OOS per ton---yet this mine was abandoned by the original owners, and was afterward relocated. The early day miners called It black jack, and considered it nuisance, as they had to throw it out when sorting ore for shipment.---Prescott Courier.

Copper Companies
 Seek Power Project

A Phoenix dispatch to the Tucson Citizen says: Negotiations for the sale of surplus electric power develop ed under the Salt Lake River project to the Miam; Copper company and the inspiration Consolidated Copper com 'any have progressed to the point where contract is being drawn. his contract is being prepared by At orney Chas. s. Whitbeck of the Jnited States reclamation service, and soon as it is finished it will be sent Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the interior, for his approval. It will not become effective, however until it is lnally approved by the Water Users association.
 The copper companies are willing to build their own transmission line from Roosevelt to Miami and pay 2.4 of a cent a kilowat for electrical energy, lp to 10000 horse power, when there surplus power available. The farm Sto ol UhC odlO -NlNSi NdiiCyt uo of the project, do not bind themselves to deliver electricity except when there is surplus for which they have no other use.
 If contract with the Miami and Inspiration companies is entered into, and 10000 horsepower is delivered constantly, it will mean an annual in- come to the Water Users association of AS, 0OO$, practically 5$ a horsepower. As the cost of the project is a little over 10000. .O00S, and the farmers are to pay for it in 10 installments, they will be required to pay little over million dollars year. The revenue from the copper companies alone will pay nearly half of each installment, for the contract that is under consider. ation is to run 10 years.

Forty-four feet of sulphide ore of a good commercial grade was penetrat. ed by one of the diamond drills at the property of the Mascot Copper Con- pany the early part of June. The ore was encountered at a depth of about 600 feet on the Consolidated end of the property. Owing to the depth at which the strike was made and the extensive naturalization on this por- tion of the property it cannot be definitely stated which vein has yield. ed this bonanza, but it is very evident that the ore tonnage it will produce will be stupendous. In fact, this one vein in itself would make very fair. sized copper mine. Comb with the other veins heretofore cut on this end of the property it gives the com. pany remarkably good ore showing to date, showing that has seldom been equaled by any other copper mine at the same stage of development.
