THE MIAMI SHELTER

The Oscar Daniels company has a force of forty men at work at the shelter site. Concentrates receiving pocket is completed and steel is being erected on the 12,000 ton bedding bins, also on boiler house of power jlant. There will be over 5000 tons, or nearly as much as required by Inspiration Consolidated mill. Excavations are completed for two oil storage tanks situated on top of hill just to east of power plant site. These tanks will have a combined capacity of 30,000 barrels, or nearly 100000 gallons. An idea of their size may be gained from the fact that a cylindrical tank 20 feet in diameter would have to be 400 feet in height in order to have same ca pacity. Eight carloads of Stirling boilers and accessories have been re- ceived and 13 more are due to arrive soon. These boilers, of which there will be seven units, are to be heated from waste gases from reverberatories. Available power, which will approxi- mate 2,00O horsepower, will be used for various purposes about the plant.

OBITUARY

A genial, kind hearted and intel ligent man of business, a man of high character and sense of honor has just passed from us in the person of Will jam Buckingham. We are among a host of friends to mourn his loss. Life is all the better for having known him. For the last twenty years he rery capably represented the Fairbanks Morse people, and aay one he ever did business with was .his friend. 1 knew him years ago when he was general manager of the San Felix silver mine in Sonora, Mexico, and while travelling around in many diversified localities, it was always a pleasure and enjoyment to greet his smiling face and have his hearty hand shake The end came suddenly while in Clifton on business affairs in con- nection with his company. He leaves a wife and family in Los Angeles where he has resided for a number of years, and the interment will take place in that city.

ground and the concentrator should be ready to start up in another two weeks. The survey across the noun tain division of the proposed new wag- on road between Superior and Ray has been run and estimate on the cost is being prepared. A method of trans porting the product of the Magma mine to the railroad will be decided upon soon. The methods under con- sideration by Manager Browning are a better wagon road to the Ray & Gila Valley road at Ray and aerial trans either to Ray, Miami, or to a point on the prairie where connection may be had with the Arizona & Eastern.
 With the new mill in operation and method of transporting concentrates and ore to the railroad, all preliminary work for the richest and best equipped small mine in Arizona will be done The plant is now supplied with all the power it can use from the Roose- welt line. The mine is equipped with pumps to handle three times the amount of water yet encountered. The mine is kept dry and a good working force is now in the employ of the company and everything is running smooth as clockwork at the Magma.

but let us pray that those poor min- CTS may by some miraculous occur renee still be saved and brought out alive. If the worst is borne out. it will surely be a time which will make the whole world kin, and those that have will generously and willingly pour out to those who have not; and, really, the world is very ready to re- spond. There never has been an in- stance of this nature where the people have fallen short of all that was wanted to relieve the situation.
 We have accidents in our own metal mines in Arizona, and we at once seek to apply a remedy or preventa- tive. But only recently two men lost their lives in different mines and in different ways, and no one could be held responsible but themselves. Their own indiscretion caused it, but these shortcomings will ever last, like lots of other things. But in these in- stances it would be pleasanter if they didn't. However, they do act as a sign of warning, at least for a while.

TERRIBLE MINING ACCIDENTS

We have occasionally referred to the accidents that have occurred in mines,
 many of which seem to be unavoid-
 able, some through causes unexplain- able and others that might have been
 avoided if ordinary care or foresight had been exercised; but still these terrible affairs will h9ppen, notwith-
 standing every ingenuity known to
 men to prevent them.
 Two more of these frightful occur rences have taken place, in widely separated parts of the world, but both on the same date, on the 18th of the present month. Cables announced
 from Liege, Belgium, that e0o coal miners were entombed at the Veille Marihaye colliery and another 200 barely escaped with their lives. The mine caught fire through an eXplc-
 sjCn and the fire was still raging the next day. This means the death of
 these 200 poor fellows entomhe1 in
 the mine unless they have reached some other air opening or are cut off. by

 reach them in event the fire is extin-
 guished, and making it possible for them to work.

the center. There is 2 regulation in all mines compelling this, for if a miner was descending in a cage and there was more hair on one side of the parting than the other it would unbalance the cage and set it to rock ing. The hero, or miner, is also shown underground with a spotlessIy clean white shirt with a negligee col lar and bosom. Now it is imperative that all men go on shift in this kind of a reversed shirt. Who ever saw man going on shift with a blue, pink or brown shirt? No, indeed! They are always white and always clean, for they change them each shift and always carry a laundry bag full into the mine with them, to change, should one get sOiled. The man of the hour is also represented with one sleeve rolled up, but in the other is a gold cuff link studded with a diamond. This is to be expected, for all the boys wear gold and dia- mond jeWelry. A breach of the rules and general fashion under ground is having a sleeve rolled up Both gold links should be worn so that they are visible.
 Our man also has on a pair of care fully creased pants; not greased, un- derstand, for such a condition is ab- solutely prohibited in a mine. Should a spot of grease or candied ripping soil his $16 pants, they are immedi- ately sent to the companys tailor to be cleaned and pressed in the com- pressor room. It is only common hoist or surface men that are per mitted to wear OverallS.
 As is expected in any well regulated mine, the miner has descended into the bowels of the earth with a pair of highly polished shoes. Why, of course. this is absolutely essential to prevent any rubbing up against the formation and forming slips. It is also to avoid friction in case he kicks against a bunch of dynamite To insure this rule being thoroughly carried out, the companies provide Italian shoe blacks along the streets like Jerome. Bisbee, Globe, etc, so that each miner can step aside and get his shoes polished before entering the mine The shift boss wouldn't permit him to enter unless he had, and all the foreman does is to see that this is strictly carried out and that the man going on shift is wear ing the right colored socks. The su- perintendent's duties are to see that each man wears the regulation clothes and doesn't go to the breast in an or dinary Ford auto.
 After reflecting upon the pictures more closely, we find how true to nature the subject is. The look of the miner is not caused by the reasons expressed, but We find he is greatly annoyed, he having sent his private secretary on an errand and the sec retary has not returned in the time he ought to have done.
 However, we still cannot overcome that open shirt front. Pearl or gold buttons should have been shown Ill the buttonholes... But let us hope that none of, the boys will get annoyed by being depicted in this careless mode of dress. They must remember the moving picture man did it in ignor- ance. He has never graduated from a powder monkey or through the course of the impressive graveyard

working in the Hillcrest colliory when the explosion occurred, ;.nd 400 of l them escaped, leaving 200 entrapped | in the mine, with little hope that any of this number will be rescued alive. | There seems to be little doubt that | both explosions were caused by fire damp and may be the result of one of natures conditions over which l none of us have any control and will occur as long as men have to mine coal for men to generate heat with At the dates 18th and 18th inst
 there was heavy depression all over the world; we felt it severely right here in Arizona. There were rumb- lings and emissions from volcanoes in different parts of the world also. Dur | ing these depressions warnings are sent out by all the weather observa- tories in countries where collieries are situated, and unquestionably these warnings result in greater care and | caution being exercised around the
 pits; but, irrespective of this, sad af- fairs will happen, and up to the pres ent there appears to be no practical avoidance of them. Man may yet study out some method of avoiding them, but today the weak spot still | exists. See the supposedly unsuitable Titanic, which went down in the open sea with an awful loss of life One would think that such an accident could not happen on an inland river, but .FT in a few minutes with about an equal | loss of life.
 Let us try as we will, it seems inn | possible to prevent these sickening ! affairs. It may be hope against hope,

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN METAL
A Bronze Knife $500 Years Old Is in
 Perfect Condition Today

In a paper read at the recent meet ing of the British Institute of Metals in Ghent, Belgium, the writer de- scribed his investigations into the crystal structure of Egyptian metal objects, all more than two thousand years old, made either of bronze or copper.
 An interesting photograph repro duced in the paper is of a Roman coin which still shows cores.
 The writer described the case of a bronze knife $500 years old, in which the original core structure has endured until the present day and is still per fectly stable at atmospheric tempera lures. The view is held that the knife was hammered cold and so the best cutting edge was obtained. The crys- tai grains are very small, there hay ing been apparently no crystal growth during the ages that have passed since the metal was first worked. This shows either that recryStalliZation does not take place at ordinary tenn peratures or, if it does, then many times 3,500 years is required to effect the change.

LPS-DODGE BUYS
 THE TOMBSTONE

"BISBEE, June 23.-The Phelps Dodge Copper company purchased the Tombstone Consolidated mines for $500,000 at receivers sale. The mines are said to have produced $25, ,000 in the silver days and will now be de- veloped for copper"
 The above appeared under date. The purchase of the property by Phelps Dodge company was anticipated, but not for such small amount. The poor creditors will get little more than a wistful look. But there is one immense satisfaction, that the proper
 ty has fallen into such a big and thorough mining company's hands as the Phelps-Dodge. It means a great deal for Tombstone. The old mine will now be managed and developed in thorough, practical mining manner. It will be exploited for the metal there is in the ground. There will be none, of the frightful mismanagement and incompetency as practiced by the last management, and which resulted in such dismal and distressing failure.
 Shades. of Ed Schefflin! What WOulQ tne diScOVerer or IOmDStOne think of this wonderful bearing area of untold millions being sold for $50,000! The present pumping plant cost more than this. And then, too. at sheriff'S sale, However, there may be as great a future before the property as the past has been. The great wealth extracted from the mine was in silver values. Then, as depth was attained, there was an increase in gold values. But it is generally conceded by all mining authorities that the base of the mine will be prin- cipally copper, and undoubtedly with addition of the two other elements. With the present company in posses
 sion of the property. it unquestion- ably forbodes great future for the old camp of Tombstone. It will not only mean much for that area, but it will mean much for the whole of Ari- zona. For the last closing down of the property hurt mining in Arizona considerably. This company will re suscitate the old camp and breathe new life into it. They will demon strate that the old mine is going down, and she is going down big.

7 An Important Mining Decision


 Salt Lake.-Notice has been re- ceived at the local land office that A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary of the department of the interior, has given decision in the Great Western Gold and Copper Mining company case reversing the decision of a for mer commissioner of the general land office. The old decision refused to give the company patent to claims on value had not been found in place on each claim, and they were held for cancellation.
 When the survey and application for patent were made March 3, 1910, and approved by the local land office, reached Washington, the government contested the application on the re- port of an alleged expert miner in the forest service, who contended that no mineral had been discovered. As off setting this, Assistant Secretary Jones calls attention to the fact that the mining company had introduced testi- mony of a mining engineer, a mining expert and practical miner to show that there had been disclosed vein or lode of mineral bearing rock in place which compared favorably with other disclosures in the same locali ties which had led to paying mines. He cited the testimony that the claims were cut in two Assures which as saved silver, gold and copper. This is the second decision along this line which throws open to patent hun dreds of claims which have been held |up for years. Under the old decision it was impossible to get patent.
 The mineral division of the office of the United States surveyor general has been growing smaller until there is a-serious question of a single man being retained. This is on account of the few claims that have been up for patent. It is probable that there will be an increased number of patents on account of this decision which will allow the mineral division to be con- tinued. Formerly there were nine men busy in this department.

THE MINER AND THE MOVIES

I was looking over some pictures representing the miner in some thrill ing episodes under ground, and surely the originator of the pictures had some great ideas of a miner. One of the pictures represents a man in a mine, working with outstretched arms, leaning forward and looking into the distance. He has an eX- tremely pained, puzzled, and even a distressed look upon his face. Some thing is going to or has happened! What is it? A rattlesnake ap- preaching, collision between a couple of express trains, or the ram ming of a couple of Atlantic liners No, this could not be, for your must remember the miner is in an under ground working. So what is it he is staring at we are left to conjec- ture. But, leaving this for a mo- ment, we find the miner has a clean shaven face, and this he always has, for he is provided with sharp tools and picks to remove the stubborn specks of dirt that may stick to his face He even has a mop rag pro- vided for this express purpose, and as for clean shaven, this is a general condition, for he is always getting close slaves, so that part of his ap- pearance is easily accounted for.
 On second look it is shown he has smooth, glossy hair parted in the middle. Who ever heard of one of the boys going on shift with rough head All of them use some kind of lubricant, hair gloss, renovator or pomade This is used designedly, and in case a rock falls on his head it will slip off easily All miners also Uaar their hair carefully parted down

INSPIRATION coNcENTRAToR

Riveting was started on the concen- trator building May 25, eight gangs of four men each being employed at this work. Hanging of biE plates for concentratOr, ore and pebble bins is completed and riveters will be put to work on them in a few days. An in teresting fact in connection with riv- eting is that 140,000 rivets will have been driven when the American Bridge Go. completes it's contract All columns of concentrator building are wedged to proper elevations preparatory to grouting. Forgeshop at concentrator is nearly finished, forges, hammers, rolls, punching and shearing machines being in place and all in use. A 660- cubic-foot air compressor, which sup plies air for forges, hammers, etc., is also supplying air required by riveters.

COPPER
Buying Demand Continues to Be Very
 Slack

The buying demand for copper con- tinues to be very slack. As a result offerings have been made at 13 7-S cents for electrolytic in round amounts for prompt shipment. Casting copper is quoted at 13 34 cents. Calumet copper is relatively firmer than other brands, the price having been held at 14h cents.
 Copper is still going abroad in large volume and European consumers are still buying in considerable quantity. Exports for June, up to the 17th, az gregated 42.000,000 pounds, indicating rate of sO,O00.OOO pounds for the month.

SHAFT SINKING GOING
 ON AT ARIZONA KING

c. G. Werner an old-time Floren- tine. spent several days in Florence this week. Mir Werner has been en- gagged in mining for several years past, but has leased his property, the Ari- zona King, to an eastern syndicate backed by A. w. Scott of New York, which is working the mine under the company name of Arizona Montana.
 MT. Werner reports that quite a crew of men have been working in the mine and that the new company has already sunk down on the old shaft to depth of 300 feet and will sink down to the water level before cross- cutting. A good body of gold-bearing ore is encountered all the way down. The ore body also shows handsome content in sulphides and native copper.
 The Bulldog, a bearing prop erty near Goldfield, in the northern part of the county, is now being oper- ated by Mesa mining men, and it is understood that a small mill is to be erected and a cyanide plant put in for treating the ore. The Bulldog is about one mile west of Goldfield.
 Frank Benedict recently sold his interest in the bonded lease on the Ajax mine, and this property will be worked quite extensively by the new bonding parties.
