still at work on the Banner mines, at Stockton Hill, and are said to be making good money. It is prob able that many other tributers will be put to work on other properties in that vicinity and bring to the camp it's old time prosperity. Stockton Hill was at one time the most productive campin the county and today its record of production has not been exceeded by any other of the big mining camps.
 Tucson Citizen: About 20 tons of ore per day are to be shipped from the Gould mine in the Amole district, the unwatering of the mine having now been finished. Ore is being taken from the 250-foot level. It will be packed by burros to the foot of the mountains, down two- mile trail, and will be hauled thence by wagon to Jaynes station for shipment to Tucson and from Tucson to the Pioneer smelter. The mine is under the management of A. w. Beck. The ores are desired at the smelter for use as Aux.
 Globe Belt: The Gibson mine, nine miles west of Miami, is ship ping about three cars of ore per month to Old Dominion smelter at Globe. The ore is reported to average about Is per cent copper, and is all coming from the fourth level on the Pasquale vein. Drifts are being driven south on the fourth and fifth levels and encouraging results are reported. Ten cars of ore have been shipped since the Gibson Copper Company resumed the working of the mine in Feb ruary. About 20 men are en- ployed.
 Bisbee Review: The much talked of semi-monthly payday has now become a law, passed by both houses and signed by the governor. Under the constitution it does not become effective for ninety days but the reports locally are to the effect that the companies here will not wait for those ninety days but will put the measure in operation sooner. These statements are not authoritative but are plausible from the actions of the company relative to the eight-hour collar to collar law. The operation of the new system will be watched with in terest.
 Bisbee Review: Each day there is hoisted from the Copper Queen mines upward of 5000 tons of ore and from the Calumet and Arizona mines over 1900 tons, not hard to comprehend this but a little more figuring shows that this totals up to approximately 90,000 tons from the C,Q mines and 45,000 tons ths c. and A. in all some 135,0O0 tons of ore per month. And re- ducing it to pounds it is seen that the monthly output from the mines of these two companies is 270,000,- 900 and to the layman this means nothing, his comprehension has been passed.
 Globe Belt: The Superior & Boston Copper Co.,, is shipping to the Old Dominion smelter about three cars per week of ore reported to average about 8 per cent, copper. The ore is coming from the stopes below the sixth level on inc Great

cross-cut has also been started south toward the Limestone vein which has been opened up through the Limestone shaft to the third level, there being d considerable amount of shipping ore blocked out on the second and third levels. About 55 men are employed.
 Mohave Miner: o. B. Stanton, who went to Los Angeles on busi ness last week, returned to King man few days ago. Mir. Stanton is getting the Gro Plata mine in in the best possible shape and with another lift of 100 feet below the present depth it is probable that a fine body of the old time ore will be opened up. So far the mine has been proven to be far greater than the old owners ever dreamed, as bodies of ore have been found paral- leling the old ore bodies and carry ing good values. One of the ore bodies recently cross-cut carries 35 per cent zinc and some gold, while other ores have been encountered that run from $20 to $100 to the ton. The mill turns out about a carload of concentrates week, the value running about $100 in gold.
 Mohave Miner: Last Monday general manager s. s. Jones brought in from the Tom Reed mill three bars of bullion weighing APO pounds avoirdopois, and valued at $90,000, result of the May cleanup of the mill. During May the mill had only been running ten stamps of the thirty, which indicates the richness of the ore. The company is getting things in shape to in- crease the tonnage of the mill and necessarily increase the output of gold. At the mine the force of men has been cut to the necessary timbermen and mechanics, while the work of installing the big electric holster is under way. The shaft is also to be straigh rened and the collar reinforced. The new holster is to have double the capa- city of the old steam hoist. When work is again resumed on the mine the output of ore will be doubled. The purchase of the Neglected group of mines make it possible to operate all the stamps, the new property furnishing the necessary water supply. It is expected that it will take at least three weeks to make the changes in the shaft, and during that time the mill will be run on dumps and the tailings nitc of the old mill

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
IN SESSION

The city Board of Equalization has
been in session since the first of last
week at the city hall. The board
'sits" ten days. TO avoid dispute
similar to the one with the state tax
commission of last year the board is
acting upon the ASSUMPTION that they
are governed by the state law requir-
ing oral testimony under oath before
making any alterations in the valuations
set by the assessors. There have been
the usual number of complaints but
few care to take the stand and be
sworn as to actual values. The Seibel
Clothing Co. and the Daily Herald both
appeared and testified that their assess
ments are grossly disproportionat to
others in like lines. The Herald was
reduced from $1,000 to S2236. The gas
and electric companies were given no.
tice that the board is considering rails
ing their assessments, the gas company
$4,000 and the electric company
10000.

luton was introduced by Alderman
Rugowski providing for the submission
to the electors of the question OF pur-
chasing the electric light plant lat the

FIFTYYEARS AGO.

THE FOURTH IN MANITOWoC.-.Th
4th of July-the German population is
entitled to the credit, was celebrated
in Manitowoc in patriotic and becom-
ing manner. Washington Square was
crowded during the day by men, wo-
men and children, who heartily en-.
joyed it as holiday. Chas. Esslinger,
Esq, read the declaration as it should
be read and Adolph Whitman, Esq,
delivered an eloquent GRAFTON. The
brass band discoursed patriotic music,
and the German Singing Society fa-
vored the people with choice songs.
We regret that our crowded columns
forbid us giving particular descrip-
tion of the proceedings, for the mode
and manner of the celebration deserves
much praise. We enjoyed-everyb body
enjoyed it, and when the 4th comes
around again, we know that those who
visited Washington Square last Friday
will wish to visit it again. Our Ger
man fellow citizens have shown their
native-b born brethren an example
which, we hope, will be initiated by
them hereafter.
