ASSAY OFFICE WILL BE FEATURE OF THE ARIZONA STATE FAIR
University Of Arizona Will Offer , Special Attraction In Shape Of
 Exhibit Illustrating Model Of
 What Assay Office Should Be

A most novel exhibition is to be staged at the Arizona State Fair dur ing tho week of November 9th by the Bureau of Mines and the College of Mines of the University of Arizona.
 Tho exhibit is to be in the form of a model assay office, completely equipped in every detail. fitting in to completely furnished room 1lx22. The Cffice will have the very latest type of crushers, pulverizers, balances, furnace and in fact everything de. signed to simplify. make more accur- ate anc expedite assaying.
 During the week O fthe fair all sam ples sent in will be assayed free of charge for gold, silver or copper. It is preferable that samples be brought in person and 1t is anticipated that assays will be made at once and re- suits given out If samples are sent by mail or express they should be ad- dressed to the University of Arizona exhibit, Care State Fair Commission.
 This exhibit will prove most instruc- tive, and will give the mining men of the State an opportunity of learning what the Bureau of Mines and the College of Mines can do fer them All persons, whether interested in min ing or not, are cordially invited to visit this exhibit

CHEMEHUEVIS MAKES
 PROMISES OF MINES

One of the most promising fields in Arizona at the present time is the Chemehuevis district The rich gold region is about IA miles south of Franconia, on the Santa Fe railroad and a good wagon road on into the mines.
 Some wonderfully rich gold ore has been found in this section and recent reports go to show that depth only is necessary to open up immensely rich gold-bearing veins. Those who have been operating there for several years have every reason to feel en- couraged for the general showing in the district was never so good as at present
 T. II. Brobant and M R. Ruiz are interested in a good property which they call the Yellow Jacket group. This claim is opened up by a 6O-foot tunnel and a shaft l6 feet The quartz streak is from 10 inches to 8 feet wide and carries SIS per ton in gold.
 The Los Angeles, owned Dy the same men has a 35-foot tunnel and a 45-foot shaft and this work shows a vein IA feet wide which carries S37 to $40 in gold per ton.
 In the same field Fred Brown. M. R.R liz and Bill Yee have a gold prop erty which is worthy of special men tion. lt is called the Constitution and the vein is 12 feet wide and the ore runs from SIS to S2O in gold per ton
 Mir Ruiz is interested in zinc property which goes from S2 to Ss in gold and 45 per cent zinc and per cent lead This lead can be traced 4,OO0 feet on the surface and is 100 feet wide.

WAR HALTS MINING
 IN NITRATE FIELD
 OF SOUTH AMERICA
Travellers Report That Activities
 On West Coast Are Badly Hit In Sudden Cessation Of Work Caused By War-GoId Scarce

PANAMA, Oct 30.-Travelers reach ing here from the west coast of South America report that the effects of the European war are keenly felt in Peru and Northern Chilli Mining in the great nitrate fields is practically suspended owing to the loss of the usual European markets, and since the nitrate region is practically a des. ert, incapable of supporting any other industry, the miners face starvation of migration as their alternatives.
 The large import and export houses such as at Lima ana CaIlao are doing very little business.
 Scarcity of gold or other suitable circulating medium has been a diff- culty in Peru and apparently it has been impossible for the government to agree upon an adequate relief measure that would bring better conditions. As a result exchanges have increased in value and 1t has been found necessary to declare a partial moritorium which has been extended from time to time.
 In all the west coast ports of con- sequence there are idle German steamers which previous to the Euro pean conflict played an important part ia the commerce of South America. ' British steamers which have shared with the German companies the car. rying trade of Western South Am erica, still are calling regularly at these ports, but owing to the lack of business are carrying very little l freight and few passengers.

For more than ten years the great Gold Read mine has been worked and 1t has produced an enormous amount of money. While it is a fact that for the first seven years it was worked in 9 more or less desultory manner, it has always had the earmarlJs of a big gold producer
 When it was originally located ex- ceediHgly good values were noted and it has continued up to the present time to show exceptionally good gold content At the time this location was made it was necessary for a mine Co show good values at the surface. otherwise the prospector would pass it up as of no value whatever. He must see a string of gold in the pan or the ore was not entitled to be located
 The old shaft was sunk to a depth of 900 feet and levels opened up every 100 feet and the new and at present main working shaft, was sunk 800 feet and opens up the Billy Bryan Line Road ana Gold Road veins. At every 100 feet drifts were advanced on the vein and in all these workings exceedingly high grade mill ing material is disclosed and a num- ber of very rich shoots have from time to time been cut into
 About three years ago the property was taken over by the United States Refining. Smelling and mining com pany. and since that time has been under the personal management Of D R. Muir. It has been a continuous producer since then and has yielded an average of SSO.OOG per month in gold
 The Gold Road has an enormous tonnage blocked out; sufficient indeed to continue this very large output for several years to come There is more than 13.O0O feet of underground work on the property.
 Famous the world over is the great Tom Reed mine in Northwestern Ari- zona. because for several years it has paid per cent per month on the par value of the stock.
 This Is indeed a wonderful property and it has no equal on the face of the earth It was a numbe rof years and hard work before this result was at- tained but now it is beyond the stage when you can figure out exactly what is it's future for every foot of development discloses strong shoots of gold bearing ores and these ores are uniformly of exceedingly high grade
 Today and for a long time past from 12O to 14O tons per day has been the yield and every month the ship ments have returned a cool $l0O,00t in gold bars
 There is 1900 feet of underground work on the property.
 Something beyond the comprehen sion of the ordinary man is 72 per cent per month interest on the par value of the stock, yet this is what the great Tom Reed mine is doing right along and will continue to do positively for the next six years and probably very many more six years. Ore is blocked out to pay dividends for six years ahead and there is every indication that they can be continued indefinitely, for the ore is better in

 The sinking, drifting and raising checked the drilling accurately. The channel samples of the test pits in carbonate averaged COOS per cent lower than the corresponding diamond drill samples; the test pits and raises in sulphide averaged 0.05 per cent lower than the diamond drill sam ples: and the drifts in sulphide av- eraged 0.26 per cent higher than the assay value of the blocks through which they were run, as indicated by the brill holes at the corners of the blocks. In calculating the ore, drill samples were used wherever drilling was dCne, and channel samples of ! test pits were used where sinking was dcne in advance of drilling. The estimate of the ore developed is as | follows:

 The gold and silver content is low, generally amounting to less than 10 cents per ton. In computing the ton mage, no material running under l per cent in copper was included. The estimate of ore available for steam shovcling depends on the assumed maximum grade of track in approach es and pits, and on amount of lean rock in the sides and bottom of the pit which it will pay Co remove in or der to get access to the ore, It is likely that the proportion removed by steam shovel will be greater than that indicated in the table. Not only will there be no stripping expense, but the absence of overburden precludes the possibility of lowering grades by the edmixture of barren material. Both tonnage and content of copper, therefore, should come out closely to the estimate.
 Three problems will arise in com nection with the exploitation of the New Cornelia copper property These are the questions of treatment, water supply and railroad communication. The question of treatment has been pretty we'll worked out.
 As for water, two deep wells were drilled in the large valley northeasv of Aio, and water was found in both at a depth ranging from $50 to 75O feet By means of a boiler plant and compressor. the water was raised from one of these drill holes with an air lift having a capacity Of about l75 gal. Ter min. Pumping at this rate did not exhaust the water in two weeks In view of such a flow from an Sin. drill hole. it seems reasonably sure that a shaft with a little drifting will furnish an ample supply and such a shaft has been started.
 As for the railroad, preliminary sur veys have been made both from Gila Bend on the Southern Pacific and from Tucson, the junction point of the Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso & systems. The respective distances are A and 130 miles Both lines would lead through a gently slopiag desert country and should be at a cost of less than $2O- GOO per mile The route has not yet been selected
 The ore body already developed will supply a 4.0OO-ton mill for over 26 years. Indications are that the life Of the mine will be greatly heightened by the development of a large ton mage or deep ore along the fracture zone ir the center of the ore body. For the next quarter of a century, the Ajo will be one of the greatest copper of the Southwest

have been repulsed.
AS was expected, the Germans made
an attempt to cross the Vistula in an

artillery and the seizure of the pontoon
bridges.
Still Against cracow
Despite the desperate work facing
them in North Poland, the Russians
continue their operations in East
Prussia and against Cracow, while in
Western Galicia they are taking up
positions along the Dounaictz river in
an attempt to stop the flow Of the
Austro-German forces.

An English mine sweeper was sunk
Off Scarborough, supposedly by mines
scattered by the German raiders. Two
~other vessels are reported destroyed.
1t is indicated by the German War
Office statement that the offensive in
the west now rests with the Allies.
The Berlin communication speaks Of
a series of hostile attacks. which. It is
said, were repulsed. The French state
hent asserts that further important
advantages have been won by the
Allies.
At Albert it is said that the Allies,
under heavy fire, pushed through to
the entanglements in front of the sec
ond line of intrenchments.
The days official reports. fail to clear
up the situation in the east The Ger
man announcement was as indefinite
as before, merely stating that in
Poland the pursuit of the Russians
was continuing and that a Russian
cavalry attack on the East Prussian
frcr -ser had been defeated.
One OF the most significant develop
ments of the day is the apparent CO
ordination of the English, French and
Russian Armies. They seem to be
working in such harmony that the
Germans are not able to follow up ad-
vantages in the east with removal of
troops to the western theatre.
British and French military writer's
say that the doubts expressed by them
OF the correctness Of the German an
nouncement that historic victory had
been won over the Russian hosts in
Poland are borne out by the apparent
lessening of enthusiasm at Berlin.

the Germans have suffered in the
region of Mlawa, near the East Prus-

the Germans have evacuated Lodz,
