SunfIowcr Cinnebar Mines Soon to Place Arizona Definitely on the Mer- culy Map of the World Large Deposit

Reference to any encyclopedia un- der the subject "quicksilver" will dis
 close that all the mines of the world
 where this product may be found, the output of the mines in each dis tIict and the value of the product of
 each country Before now Arizona
 has not been on the quicksilver map ot the world California has put out
 the majority of the product of the
 United tSates. And in Europe, Aus a-Hungaty, Russia and Italy have fer long time afforded most of the mercury since the mines of Spain played out to a great degree. But there is new tune coming and
 Arizona will be on the map of the quicksilver world in the largest of letters as soon as the works of the SuuroWcr Cinnabar Mining company, whose property is located G miles northeast of Phoenix, get into full sway.
 There is the Roosevelt dam, the great mines of this section, and the Salt river agricultural sections of them great and far-rcaching adver- s will fade into the distance as this new industry gains in renoWn. The uses for the product quicksilver arc many and far-rcaching. The product is used for the cnamcIing of the backs If mirrors, for the coating of the bottoms of ships, for protecting met als rom rust in the manufacture Of paints, and in the compoundins of drugs, as well as in many other ways. Since there is not enough of the product taken from the mines of the world to supply the demand, and since the mines of Arizona will add materially to the output of the prod uct, beinE the biggest and the rich est in the United States they will serve to advertise this section as the greatest quicksilver section in the United States if not in the world.
 The property of the Cinnabar com Iany is the only steam shovel quick silver propositi in the world. Nd ture has entered the game here and helped out the miners Shc has made a valley on each side of d mountain of the ore from which the finished product will bc taken, and has cX- posed this ore so that shovel may be employed as in the great copper mines of Utah, thus cutting the cost of mining tho ore to the minimum. 'TLe holdings of the company are 5000 feet in length and 1000 feet in width, all in the shape Of d solid ledge, and slowing outcroppings of tlFc mineral bearing rock at all points in it's length and breadth To show the richness of the property samples from the Packover drift, taken at q grab,
 s ~
 mercury: on the number two drift at the opposite side of the hill the samples ran at 6.30 per cent and tho lowest sample obtained when all the rock which showed signs or coloratior Of ore was thrown out and when the
 mineral was eliminated from the rock as much as possible before the assay was taken, ran 141 per cent.
 Friday two loads of fire brick were shipped out to the camp for the lin ing of the new rctort furnace which is being installed on the property. Inside the next few days there will | be sent the third and the last load l Then inside few weeks the plant | will start the concentration of the 1 better grade rock, some five hundred | tons being blocked out for work aI- l ready, in two different places on the | ledge. This plant which will start tfe work will be q tWelve-pipe re- | tort furnace. Later the chances are 1 that a Scott shaft furnace will be in l stailcd-onc of the many inventions | cf the most famous of all quicksilver
 mines experts inventions-with a 5O- l ten capacity.
 Arrangements are already complct-
 ed for the marketing Of the product. 1 IL will be handled by d San Francisco 1 firm who state that they can use i from 1000 to 20o0 flasks of the Ari- zcna output monthly, assuring to the company an income of thirty-five to | seventy thousand dollars a month
