THE KROHN MORTUARY.

A city is often known and judged
by the achievements of its business
man. and If this is true anywhere, 1t
is especially so in this city.
Taking n retrospective view of the
last | o years, during which time city
has made rapid growth, Mr.. Krohn' $
ever growing business iustifies the
erection of this handsome edifice
the fourth to be built in the state,
and the first outside of Denver de-
signed exclusively for this profession.
The building is colonial in design.
being built of dark red tapestry
brick with ivory terra Gotta trim
mings. The entrance TO the building
is a colonial arch doorway with an
oralescent electric globe on either
side. On entering the building one
is struck with the home-like appear
ance, there being nothing suggestive
of n business institution.
In the reception hall the flooring
is of quartered oak, covered with
beautiful rugs. The oaken idea is
carried out from floor, up the large
supporting columns, running to the
beam ceiling, giving a quiet, cathe-
dral effect. The wainseoating and al
follows the oak design. and the chap
el is sectioned off with an oaken
railing surmounted by dark green
draperies, which harmonize wei with
the carpet in the chapel. giving dig
nitv and beauty to the room.
The room to be used by the family
at the time of services is to the
right of the reception hall and beau
tifully furnished. A colonial fire
place and living plants and restful
couch make this the most homeile
room in the building. The slumber
room is finished in white, and is n
splendid addition to the establish
ment.
The seating capacity of the chapel
is 100, with room for an additional
so in the family room and reception
hall.
The display room is on the second
floor, being reached by easy stairs
from the reception hall Every de-
partment in the working rooms is the
most complete, modern and sanitary
yet devised by architectural and med
ical skill
BUSINESS Growing.
From the beginning Mr.. Krohn's
business has been steadily growing
in popular favor with those it has
served. as well as in public esteem,
until at the present time it has OBJ
tanned distinction second to none
in western Colorado. In an ordina-
ry business. where merchandise alone
is offered the public may not be par
ticularly Interested in the personal
ity of the proprietor, but in this
business, where personal services at
a very critical time is especially
needed. it is very important to know
who carries on the activities of the
work.

Arizona Southwestern
 Copper Company.

Last week the MINER editor accom- panied l.. Hoffman, general manager of the Arizona Southwestern Copper company to the mining camp of that corporation, at Copperville, and look ed over the new milling plant and the outlook of the big vein from proCuc tion standpoint.
 The mill is really one of the most substantial plants we have seen in the state, the floors, ore bunkers, retain. ing walls and foundations being re inforced concrete, while the roof and walls of the building was structural steel and corrugated iron. The build, ing is large one. containing the rock breakers, grizzlies, bunkers, crushing floors, launders and nest ( f fourteen concentratOrs. Each of the machines is to be operated by individ- ual motors, the power coming from a direct connected MeetZ and Weiss oil burning engine. The crushers Of ca pdCltN Ol lco IOuS udtis diS lO Dc uSou to put the raw ores in shape for the concentrators. The whole plant when put in commission will be one of the most economical ever erected in Ari- ma and should be success from the start. Mr. Hoffman is to be congrat- ulated on the substantial work that has gone into this big plant.
 At the mine the number shaft has reached depth of over 200 feet, from which point connection has been made with number 1 shaft, a drift hay ing been carried about 900 feet along the veln between the two openings. Number one shaft is 300 feet in depth, being at an elevation of 100 feet above numb two shaft. Along the course of this drift great bodies of low grade ores have been cut, the vein In places showing width in excess of forty feet. Many places in the vein show ore running close to 100$ to the ton, while crosscuts have shown from twelve to twenty feet of fine grade of concentrating ores.

Mineral Park Brevities.

The Kingman Copper Mining & Milling company has it's first drilling rig on the ground and the work of drilling the first hole into the DOT. phyry is under way. While the work is going slowly it is expected that later good time will be made. The company is also expecting another machine, when the work of drilling the tl quoise ground will be carried on with rush. Walter Brown and w. w. Gates have the contract to drive 5000 feet of holes.
 L. E. Cookery and Ross D. McCause, land have conferred on plans for the development of the mining ground be- tween Mineral Park and Chloride, up- on which options have been secured. It is understood that Mr. McCauseland has 75.00OS in the treasury for use in the development of the mines. Work on all the claims will not be con- menced until intervening ground is secured, so it is said.
 Options on some of the most desir- a le ground in Mineral Park have lately been secured by operators from the south part of the state.
 A number of people were out locat- ing abandoned mining ground late Tuesday night.

Producing Mines to
 Report Profits.

The Arizona Tax Cont mission has asked all producing mines In Arizona t. submit at once reports of the gross and net production of their properties for the year 1912, so that a bill may be drafted at the forthcoming session of the legislature in accordance with the proposed measure adopted some time ago, and which was submitted by the mining corporations. The pro. posed bill makes the net product the subject of taxation, together with l2 l.2 per cent of the gross. If a mine produced l0O,00OS and had no net profit it would have to pay on 12,500S, together with all improvements on the property. If it produced net of 5O,- OOOS it would pay on 62,50OS
 The proposed measure has the sanc- tion of the mining corporations and was put forwarded by D. R. Muir, of the Gold Roads Mines company, as a compromise measure and one that was absolutely fair to both the state and the corporations.

Four copper companies of Arizona paid to their shareholders during 1912 1885. 763$, while twenty-five copper companies paid total dividends of 34,- O23, 3,2l9S, as against 25, 737, ,S64S in 1911. When the complete years returns are in it is expected that there will be still larger increase in dividends paid. Other corporations in Arlzona. operat- ing gold, silver, lead and zinc will show still larger percentage of divi- dend. It will also be noted that in the above list of dividend payers the Cop per Queen, United Verde, Detroit Cop per company and other of the big un- listed corporations is missing, the only mines listed as dividend payers being the Calumet and Arizona, Miami, Old Dominion and Shannon.

A Big Copper Property.

In doing the assessment work on the group of mines, known as the Copper Canyon group, owned by w. J. Connor, l. J. Lassell and Smith X Sawyer, situated about twenty i've miles east of Yucca, in the high Wal lapais, great strike of copper ore was made the past week. A shaft had been sunk to a depth of thirty feet on the moly bdenite bearing part of the great Whale vein, but the miners were compelled to dlssist when great flow of water was encountered and turn their attention to crosscutting the big vein S5 feet from the portal. Ten feet of the vein had been cut last week Friday, and a great body of cop per shown up. Samples of the solid ore taken from this crosscut gave re- suits of lhirty-fve per cent copper and five ounces silver to the ton, and it i, the opinion that the whole ten feet will average better than ten per cent
 
 vein will be found more than twenty feet wide. all carrying excellent cop per ore. The Whale vein is more than twenty feet idle and is one of the best mineralized properties in the country. The ore outcrOps along the strike more than 800 feet and the vein shows an outcrop more than 5000 feet n length. At the junction of the Whale and Leviathan locations the outcrop is massive quartz, rising per- pendicularly sixty feet above the can- yon, benching back a short distance and then rising forty feet more above
 he floor of the canyon. From this canyon level a drift has been run off on the vein more than 100 feet to the south. On the north side of the can- Non drift has been run in on the vein twenty-five feet and shaft sunk below the floor of the drift. The shaft has drained the drifts, leaving them perfectly dry. The ore found in the puth drift Is b)rnite. the showing of tle peacock being very beautiful Two men are still at work driving the crosscut to the hanging wall. where It is expected solid body of ore will pe encountered, the showing on the surface leading to this belief.
 There are nine claims in the group, every vein in the group showing the same general characteristic copper and moly ybdenite. Some of the larg, CT veins nave no. been opened to any extent, but copper indications are present in the outcrops. Every miner who has looked the property over is enthusiastic over the possibilities of the group and predicts for it great future.

Suitable buildings have been erected on the mine and the camp has con- fortable appearance. With the com. petion of the mill, that IS setting up the machines and erecting the neces- sary water tanks, opening stopes in the mine and placing the whole in con- mission. this property should be one of the big successes of the year 1913.

One of the deepest oil wells in the world is now being drilled at Derrick City, Pennsylvania, some distance from Bradford. The well is now down more than 5000 feet and has just passed through great belt of salt. similar to the Warsaw, N. Y., salt deposits. It is thought that the pre- cambrian rocks will not be entered before 10000 feet is reached, although the silurian rocks are now being en- tered. The men back of the project are demonstrating the scientific value of the well. as well as the ascertain ment of oil possibilities below the rec ognized oil sands of that region.

Joe Martinez and J. D. Brown came few days ago bringing with them some very rich gold ore from the recent strike made by them ol the mines ar the old School Ma'am property. They have taken out several tons of the ore and have also opened up quite a tonnage The mine is said to have some wonderful ore in its new open- ilys, the average value of which is above COOS to the ton in gold.
 Hundreds of mining claims in this county on which work was not done during the year Just passed were re- located by men that believed they might be made over into mines. Many of the clalnis were possibly abandoned years ago, but owing to the conditions surrounding them the To- cators preferred to take no chances and awaited the first day of the year to make the location. Over in Min eral Park country quite a lot of locat- ing was done, as was also the case in he Union Pass section. Around Gold Road and Tom Reed few mines were allowed to go by default.
 This week Charles Gracey presente us with several pieces of ore from the big strike on the Reeves lease. at Chloride. The ore shows big values in lead carbonate and galena, and also carries high values in gold and silver. The lessee is working a force of men on the property and taking big ton mage of ore from the shaft and open cuts. It appears to be the intention tc sink the shaft below the depth of the old workings, probably below the water level, where more continuous ore bodies may be expected. The whole of Silver Hill, in which this vein exists. is well mineralized and i,
 is to be expected that great ore bodies will eventually be opened up.
