MINE PAYING IS
 ITS OWN WAY
GOOD SHOWING IS MADE HUMBOLDT CONSOLID- ATED AND DIR. BOWEN WELL PLEASED
(From Wednesdays Daily.J

Dr. C. F. Bowen, president of the Humboldt Consolidated mines neat McCabe, has returned to Los An geles, after several weeks at his camp, and expressed himself as de cidedly we'll pleased with the showing made, authorizing development to go ahead with Ben Rybon as super itendent.
 Several shipments have been made to the smelter at Needles, but in the future Fl Paso will treat the ores which are lead-silver character, a car load being ready.
 MT. Rybon in speaking of condf- tions from recent exploration was optimistic over the outlook, men tioning the fact that in Tfcent months the output has reached S1G per day to the man employed, whichi made the property self-sustaining= with the advantage of having the mine explored to depth on its own resources. Now in evidence on the lower levels is a streak of one inchl that goes 900 ounces in silver, while in the same shoot is an eight-inch streak that assays 4O0 ounces in the same mineral The lead values range to 40 per cent
 Sinking and drifting from the .150-foot level is to be carried out indefinitely, and it is probable from indications the property will not aoai1 he idle for several months to come. Dr. Bowen was the first 70 become identified with this holding and organized a close corporation to assist in the opening of the prop erty. devoting considerable of his time and money toward bringing 1T into a paying proposition after three years of diligent effort.

C. C. Stukey, while in the city from Walker, stated that the run of ores from the Eureka mine had been finished at the Poland mill from which a car load of concen- trates had been given. The grade of the yield is gold, and the ton mage values run high.
 From the good showing, develop ment is to be continued more en- ergetically in the future than in the past and the mill will soon again be placed in commission. The con- centrates go to the Copper Queen smelters at Bisbee this week, and further shipments are consigned to the same point also.
 Speaking of the operations on the Ruth mines on Indian creek to the south of Prescott about six miles, MT. Stukey gives good report oi development, his brother, A. Stu key, being in charge. This property is being operated under a lease, and the sinking of a new shaft is the development under headway. The ores are lead, silver and zinc. and regular shipments are also being made to smelters handling this char acter of a mineral.
