struction work at the new site and ir- structions are to hurry the work with all speed. The morning train out of Clifton is loaded with workmen bound fer Shelter and at five o'clock in the evening stub train leaves Clifton to bring the force to town.
 The contract for the steel work has been let in the east and is expected to be in course of construction before the first of May.
 It is estimated that before the re- duction plant shall have been con- pleted more than two million dollars will have been expended by the Al Co.,
 The news that ground has been broken at the new shelter site was hailed with delight by the public in general. The f-al location of the shelter at the stockyards appears to have been satisfactory all around. The effect of beginning the new work has already been felt in business cir. cles and the general opinion is that the year 1912 will be the best year in business way in the history of Clifton.

Conger Mine is
 Surprise to Owners.

J. H. Tribby, general manager of the Cactus Gold Mining company, who arrived yesterday from his camp on Cherry creek, announces that con- tract has been awarded to Eugene Cox & Co., for large amount of sinking and drifting, and that the work will start today. Embraced in the Cactus interests is the old and famous Conger mine, which in early days produced heavily, and which was recently pur- chased by the above syndicate.
 Ths old levels have been cleaned out, and in speaking of the outlook MT. Tribby expressed himself as confident of making profitable producer, in fact he stated the property shows up better than was represented, and his associates feel elated. The work now going on on the Conger is the first practical development done there in many years.-Journal Miner.

Another Deal in Miami Mines.

Another biz mining deal was made in this district last week. This deal was bond and lease taken by L. D. Mcclure and II. E. Dunn on the Schulze brothers mining claims, six teen in all, about five miles from Mia. mi. The property adjoins the South western Miami
 The option price is stated to be in the neighborhood of 25O.OOOs.
 Considerable development has been done by the Schulz brothers, it being estimated that there is more than 2000 feet of work. Good showings have been made in number of the work lngs; silicates, carbonates, native cop- per and chalcocites having been en- countered.
 A two.compartment shaft was start ed by the Schulzes some time ago and is now down to hundred feet. There is another shaft l60 feet. In this shaft drifting has been done on the 100 and l6O foot levels. From these latter workings car of assorted ore was shipped which assayed 20 per cent cop- per.
 In the judgment af those versed in mining conditions of this district, the Schulze claims are among the best In this locality.
 Messrs. Dunn and Mcclure have taken the option in the interests of eastern parties and expect to leave to- day or Monday for New York to con- suit with their people. They will be absent about thirty days. On their trip east they will be accompanied by Attorney c. C. Faires of Miami who has handled the deal for both parties.
 Mr. Mcclure is assayer and chemist at the Live Oak and MT. Dunn is a mining engineer and holding re- sponsible position with the Live Oak; in fact, he was a resident srperinten- dent of the Live Oak property during the tune the company was working the Black Warrior property.
 While no definite information could be given as to the plans for he future, was stated that churn drilling of the property would hegin in the near future, the machines to be used to be of different type than used here be- fore and much larger, enabling great CT depth to be made.-Globe Silver Belt.

It has been noted, in connection with the course of the silver market for several months past, that the rev. olutionary movement in the Chinese empire seemed to create a demand from that country for the metal and constituted a sustaining factor in con- nection with silver quotations. In an annual review by one of the largest London firms dealing in bullion, which covers the course of the silver market for 1911. there is an interesting discus sion of the present agitation in China in respect to it's possible effects upon the silver market. While disclaiming any attempt to dogmatize about the outcome of the existing situation, it nevertheless dwells upon the effects on the trade of a revolutionized China
 which might readily proceed from the establishment of constitutional and popular government. A hastened mat erial development of the Celestial Empire is one of the most apparent features which would follow, leading to consequent demand for silver. With an enlarged business activity an additional tael of circulation for the 400, ,OOO, 900 of inhabitants would absorb fully 25O,000, ,000S of silver. The re- view in question argues that whether the addition to the currency called for by increased wealth be imported by

Ground is Eroke1, New
 Shelter Under Way.

A new station was placed upon the map of the A X N. M. Railway last Monday morning. Its name is "Smelt. CT" and will be more familiarly known to Cliftonites as the Stockyards. It is the site chosen for the new reduction plant of the Arizona Copper Company, Ltd, ana the actual construction work was begun last Monday morning and at present not less than one hundred and fifty men are employed and ad- ditional working men are being added to the working force daily.
 On Saturday last o. J. Cotey, con- tractor, who has been engaged In do. ing some railroad work in the vicinity of Longfellow, received notice to move his outfit to the stockyards below Cliff. ton and be ready to break ground on the following Monday. The notice was rather short but the contractor, with force of men, was on the ground at the appointed time. The first work begun by MT. Cotey was the moving of the main line of the A. x N. M, at the new site, forty feet farther east. This work requires blasting and will probably take thirty days to complete. At the same time the railroad work was started, James Kilsby with force of company men, appeared upon the ground and commenced the grading work for the new smelter. Temporary buildings are being erected for office headquarters, repair shop and tempor- ary power house for rock crushing etc. Work also has been commenced on the depot at Shelter and trains now make regular stops at the new station.

The work of sinking from the 100- foot level at the Coan mine was start ed this morning and from this time on there will be continuous operations until the shaft is deeper by 25O feet. The mine has just been cleared of water for the second time this season. Just after the pump had cleared the lower levels this fall the water for power purposes b ecame scarce and they were obliged to let the mine fill up again until more power could be se- cured It is the intention to erect a new mill during the coming spring. = Nevada City Transcript.

Copper Basin Has
 Big Ore Deposits.

At the outcome of recent develop ment by the Commercial Mining com pany in Copper Basin, which has been attended with the greatest showing ever made since work was resumed nearly two years ago, it is stated that all stockholders in Arizona will arrive at the camp today to make an inspec- tion of the showing, and it is probable will outline a system of exploration that will mean a new era in that cop per belt.
 Included in the personnel of the party are Dr. Douglas, James and Walter Douglas, Cleveland Dodge with several engineers of the Copper Queen and many others interested.
 The important nvestigations to be made on the present trip result from the determinations made in tunnel, drifting and winze exploration, which has demonstrated the existence of a copper deposit that is without count erpart in the history of mining in Northern Arizona so far as copper is to be considered Especially is this true of the showing that has been ac- complished in the winZe sunk from the drift that leads from the main crosscut tunnel.
 While very little publicity has been ,rt, ,,f ,,, ha months at this point, the strike is now expressing the attention of miners in that section and IS being discussed by all who have inspested the develop. ment.
 At the point in the drift where the winze was started on the hanging wall and which has reached depth of 60 feet, solid body of red oxide, cuprite and metallic copper has been develop ed, which extends across this opening, with no determination made as to the extent of this condition. Assays give 70 per cent copper values, and is the greatest showing yet made in the basis.
 Preceding this important determin- ation it is also said that 22-foot ore body was cut in the drift, carrying a red oxide ore, while at other points in the tunnel the showing has been satis. factory, carryiag good grade of ore. It is also stated that the yield from the winze was up to date, with copper at present quotations, will give the pro- duct on the dump a value of at least 5000$. From this estimate some idea of the immensity of the showing made may be formed.
 Miners capable to judge express them selves in the most pronounced manner 'erwhat they state is the most phenom enal discovery of copper ever made in favapai county, if not in the territory. The point where the company has been conducting exploitation since the original shaft work was suspended, is Garbarino Hill, and where an old tun. nel was driven for limited distance.

way of exchange or be purchased b, the Chinese government established under the new state of affairs, the price of silver could hardly fail to be favor. ably influenced. In short, it is argued that the chief interest in the silver market is liable to shift entirely from India to China. whose large population from immemorial usage regulates their trade, both domestic and external, on the basis of silver standard.-Brad- streets

NOW LET US HAVE ACTION.

The Democratic party has won
great victory, and it should not lose
time in giving the country the Dene'
fit of it. The country has voted tor
tariff reduction, and it should not have
to. wait two years before it gets it.
There is no reason why Democratic
tariff should not be enacted before
midsummer. That wound be fifteen
months or more before the Congress
sional elections of 1914. If that tar
iff should scare any persons-and un-
doubtedly there is a good deal OF IT,
mid:ty about that sort of Legislation
there would be plenty of time FOR
them to recover from it.
If no special session of Congress be
Summoned, the Congress elected last
Tuesday, together with the Senators
vino will be elected this winter and
whose terms will begin on March 4th,
will meet year from next month. The
committees will not be appointed until
the holidays, and some time after
New Years, 1914, the work Of pre-
pairing a tariff will begin. 1t VII! en-
counter all the obstacles the Republl-
cans can throw in it's way;the alarmed
tariff benefciaries will insist on being
heard. and some time will have to be
conceded to them. A tariff bill
would be enacted somewhere along
August or September, 1914, and early
in November the Congressiona! cleo
ton would occur Between the enact
ment of the law and the election
there would not be sufficient time foI
the new law to prove its efficiency, bus
there would be plenty for the tarlh
benefciaries to scare the country, and
particularly their employees, with their
wailing. The results might be Sc
rious reverse.
There is very little doubt that tn.
Democrats will control the Senate
after March 4. On March . Pres!-
dent Wilson should summon a special
session of Congress for an early date
The WAYS and Means Committee IS al
ready Democratic, and it might speno
this winter in preparing tariff blf
for consideration by the new commit
tees in the new House. The DINGHY
bill was in process of preparation IL
the winter of 1857. 1t was to be en-
acted by CONGRESS that met IN re
Spouse to the proclamation to Presi
dent Mckinley, in 1857, but much timE
was saved by the work Of the preced
ing winter.
Let US have Democratic tariff b!
early summer of next year, and let u
have such legislation regarding Trust
as the Stanley bills. By mid-Wlnte
the people can have what they vote
for last Tuesday, and all the mlsreP
resentation that the Republicans Ca
advise will exhaust itself long betoT

 Miss Vallecita is recognized today in all parts of~America and Europe as being the foremost trainer of leopards, and her act is the only one booked on the United Booking office and the Orpheum circuits. She was the feature of keiths houses. the Williams houses, and a score of the biggest vaudeville and variety theatres of Europe. She brings a troupe of leopa ds which are said to be the most beautiful in captivity. and to exceed in value and beauty those to be found with any cir GUS or menagerie in the world. She has time after time had the narrowest es- capes from death from her animals. and a constant watch is kept on them to pre- vent bodily injury to Miss vallecita. The Indian leopard is supposed to be the hard est of the cat family to train and the most treacherous when trained.
