Engineers Estimates.

We note in the Iaily press that a certain engineer, after making an ex- tended seven days examination of a property, which he says contains 2OO.- 900, ,000 tons of IS ore, states publicly that he will recommend the installa- tion of 1,O00.ton plant, and so on.
 You may ask what is wrong in this? Ia the first place, assuming the facts to be as stated, an engineer who talks about what his report is to be is cer- ta;nly unethlcal. to say the least. His word would go but little way. But this fact is not the only one which makes the so called report worthless on the face of it. We wonder how many engineers there are who can positively see 2OO.OOO,OOO tons of any kind of ore in seven days, examine and sample it, and then come out with the statement that it will average $ per ton. Surely such man would deserve to be kept busy. Let us analyze the proposition. Two hundred million tons of 7$ ore means the colossal sum of l,400, ,000,000$ in ore values. Think of It! And all shown in seven days Why stop with ,000-ton mill, even for a starter. The mine would only pro. duce at this rate about three-quarters

Espee Forfeits Big Land Tract.

A Portland dispatch says:-"The court orders that decree be entered forfeiting those lands to the govern ment and that the United States re- cover the costs and disbursements of this case"
 By this simple statement. Judge Wolverton in the United States cour, took from the Southern Pacific lands which according to the attorneys sti pulation are worth thirty million and which experts say are worth between forty and sixty millions.
 Involved are two millions, three hun dred thousand acres comprising tracts in California and Oregon. The rail road will appeal immediately to the circuit court at San Francisco and thence to the supreme court no mat ter what the outcome.
 The case has been pending since 1908. In it's ruling the court held the Union Trust Company which owns a seventeen million dollar mortgage on the bonded land could not interpose the plea of innocent purchaser.

Metal Mines Kill Most Men.

A Washington dispatch says: The metal mines of the country kill more men every year than the coal mines, the percentage for the former being over four out of every thousand en- ployed, according to the bureau of mines. Copper mines killed more than five out of every LOGO men en- ployed in 1911, with iron mines close second. The bureau reports the total nu Der of deaths for 1911 in the metal mines of the following states: Mon- tana 62; Nevada 50: Utah 49; Colorado 43: Arizona 70; Idaho 23; California 3S; Michigan l34.
 The death rate in American metal mines is only exceeded by that of three other countries-Mexico, Peru and the Transvaal-while the percent age for Germany is l.29 per 1000 em- pOyes and Great Britain l.6i. Out of l65,97 men employed in metal mines, 695 were killed, 4, l69 seriously injured and 22,40S slightly injured. Widows to the number of 297 were caused by these deaths, and 600 children were made fatherless.

Arousine Interest
 in Mining RegIons.

When activity in mining seems to lag behind what it should normally be the real cause for the condition should be sought before remedy can be ap- piled. This cause once determined, appropriate steps can be taken to pro- vide the necessary stimulus to rejuve- nate the industry. The ultimate cause O. these declines is not always the same in different camps, therefore each backward district must be the subjects of special study. The proxi. mate cause Is usually lack of invest. ment funds with which to carry on de- velopment and production operations The first necessary procedure is then to get capital interested.
 The decadence of any mining camp or section adversely affects all lines of business not only within the section itself but may reach far outside. The mines are heavy purchasers of opera. ting equipment, supplies and pro- visions, important factors in the SUD- port of local mercantile business and surrounding farms. As it is these interests that suffer along with the owners of mining properties when things go badly with the mines, they should be among the first to come to the relief of the mining interests.
 There are probably very few mining camps in which undeveloped prop erties do not exist, which could, un- der proper management and adequate financial support, be made Into profit yielding mines. whose operation would benefit all neighboring communities. No one knows better the latent pos. abilities of mining section, or has greater faith in the final outcome, than dc the men who have lived there and taken an active interest in the busi. ness activities of the region. They have the opportunity to acquire first hand information of the mining prop critics. and to acquire information from men who have learned thelr knowledge of the geology and ore deposits of the region from personal experience in

This Interests Every Woman

A family doctor said recently that women come to him thinking that they have female trouble, but when he treats them for their kidneys and bad- der, they soon recover. This is worth knowing, and also that Foley Kidney Pills are the best and safest medicine at such times. You cannot get better purer medicine for backache. weary dragged out feeling, aching joints, ir- regular kidney and bladder action and nervousness due to kidney troubles. Try them. They are tonic in action, quick in results. H. H. Watkins, Druggist.

Mining Property to be
 Developed in MazatzaIs.

The Tonto Basin Prospecting & De- velopment company is being organized to develop and operate inning pro. perty comprising % claims, situated in thv Mazatzal range of mountains, ten miles west of Payson. Included in the company's holdings are Irwin House. 8 eighteen claims, Hurdock's Baltl. more group of claims, Casterson' s United States group and Dan Dennis claims.
 The organizers of the company are c. c. Faires, of Miami Irwin House, of Upper Tonto creek. Roy Kelly, James Hughes and Edward R. Oliver.
 The company's claims are located along the mineral zone, at the foot of North peak, for length of five miles and the trend of the principal ledge is marked by strong croppings. The chief development consists of large tunnel 600 feet in length and some smaller openings on the House claims The tunnel has been driven to within 50 feet of the contact. There are shal- low workiogs on number of other claims, soms showing ore carrying copper, gold and silver. Some very rich silver ore has been taken from the House claims.
 A we'll known geOlogist who visited the property recently, picked up a piece of mineralized rock from the dump and asked one of the men pres- ent what he thought it was. "Specu- laer iron" was the answer. "No," said the geologist, Git is vanadium." " A piece of specuar iron was found and the expert proceeded to demonstrate the difference between the two speci- mems. 'Vanadium will leave a yellow mark when drawn across hard sur face, and specular iron, although al- most identical in appearance, will make reddish mark" and the test showed that he was right. There are several tons of this ore, said to be vanadlum, on the dump at the House mine.
 Edward R. Oliver was in Globe yes terday arranging to have the new company incorporated. He informed the Record that they would begin de- velopment work within sixty days and will use either a diamond drill or churn drill for prospecting. There is fine road leading from the county thoroughfare to the company's prop. erty, built by Mr. House, who has lived in that vicinity for thirty-six years and is one of the most reliable and best known men in that part of Gila county.-Arizona Record.

Deep Prospecting Planned.

Deep prospecting in the Rough and Ready and DeaLman's Flat districts is to be carried forward in the near future, according to advices received here. What may lie beneath the sur. face dlggings, which have yielded mil lions, is matter of conjecture, as no deep prospects have ever been made owing to the lack of water power and poor facilities of transportation. Elec- tric power, which IS now accessa ble, will make deep prospecting practical,
 Of Nevada county's total production of about 240,OO0, 0,000$ in gold from sluices, hydraulic and deep quartz mines is record of working of mil lions of cubic yards of hydraulic gravels, and many thousands of feet of underground working on the veins throughout areas of hundreds of square miles. Rough and Ready and Dead mans Flat, which are em braced with in an area about two and half by five niles in size, have yielded fully r. 500,O00$ from the surface diggings, and from the veins which have as yet been worked to an average of less than 100 feet in depth. The deepest mines of this section are the Kenosha at 400 feet, the California at 250 feet, and the Ironclad at about 240 feet, each of which have only few hundred feet of development at the most in lateral ex- tent on the veins.

Docxyard of Solid Rock.

The New South Wales government
dockyard on Cockatoo island in Sydney
harbor is hewn out Of solid rock. His
torically Cockatoo island is Of much in
terest, as it was the site OF q large
prison in the days when British con-
victs were deported to Australia. The
present offices on the island are in the
old prison buildings the stone walls,
barred windows and iron doored cells
being still in evidence. The formation
of the island was originally quite un-
suitable for dockyard, as the solid
rock rose sheer from the water to a
height of sixty to seventy feet. By
using convict labor, however, the rock
was gradually cut back, first to permit
the building Of craving docks and later
to make room for building slips and
shops near water level. The work has
been continued until at present two
thirds of the total area of thirty-three
acres has been brought to a practically
uniform level OF about fifteen feet above
high tide.-London Globe.

Argentine Meat

The Washington Post says that a
misunderstanding was created by the
dispatches which announced the pur-
pose Of the visit of Dr. A. ID. Melvin,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
to Argentina and other South American
countries. The declaration that DR..
Melvin would try to induce the exporta-
ton Of livestock and beef from Latin
America to the United States has re-
suited in many protests from farmers
and others. Hence, the correction.
Secretary Houston has been replying
to the letters Of DIRECTORS by saying
that the object Of DR.. Melvin's visit is
neither to encourage nor discourage the
export of meat to the United States.
The department of agriculture, he SAYS,
merely wants to make certain that it un-
derstands the conditions under which
meat offered for entry to the United
States is produced, slaughtered, packed
and shipped. The department will
thus be able to cooperate with the
secretary Of the treasury in keeping
out of the country all insanitary meat
This puts the trip Of DIR. Melvin to
Argentina and the sanction Of the de-
partment Of agriculture in quite a diff
ferent Ii hit. The government is not
going to invite the importation Of meat
But why should not the department Of
agriculture openly encourage South
Americans to develop a market for
their meat in this country? The pres
