Christmas Property

We are requested to deny that this
property has to be sold at re-
ceiver's sale or any other sale. Such
information has been going the round
OF the press and it appeared in these
columns However, we are given au-
thoritatively to understand that the
property is not in any way included
in the general affairs of the Develop
ment Company of America. But that
the property is held by seperate
corporation called the ella Copper
Sulphide Company, Mr. Frank Muir
ply being an important spirit in both
corporations And it is expected to
open up the property in a thorough
practical manner and ship the higher
grade ores for treatment to one of the
-smeiters. The property already has
received considerable development
and large ore bodies are blocked out,
but not all of it is shipping ore. The
property undoubtedly is valuable
one and some day will be an impor-
tant producer.

Principal Uses Of FeIdspar

The United States Geological Sur
vey issues a Bulletin No. 420 by Ed .
son S. Basin under the title Eco
nomic Geology of the Feldspar De-
Iosits of the United States 1t is
a complete treatise regarding the
composition and occurrence of this
useful mineral.
The principal use of feldspar is in
the manufacture of pottery, enamel
ware, enamel brick and tile and
electrical ware. OF these applica-
tons the most important is its use
in the body and glaze of the various
grades of pottery and vitrified ware
in which it constitutes from 10 to
80 per cent. Its value in pottery is
that it melts at a lower point than
the other ingredients and serves as
flux, binding the clay and quartz
particles together. In glazes the
percentage of feldspar used is higher
than in the body and runs from 30
to so per cent Other uses of fields
par which do not require the high
grade demanded by the pottery trade
are in the manufacture of emery and
| ccrundum wheels, where it serves as
binder; in the manufacture OF
| opalescent glass; as a poultry grit;
as a constituent of roofing mate-'ia

thousands of dollars. But in the
meantime the men cannot mine the
ore to keep the plant running. 1t
is surely serious situation, but We
60 hope now that the worst has
passed.
The retirement Of Huerta and APP
parent success of the revolutionary
arms, undoubtedly means lull in
Mexico's affairs and many idle min
ing properties will be permitted to
resume operations, it will mean life
and succor to a country that is i'm
poverished almost to the point of
despair. However isn't it doubtful
If the United States will retire from
the country that so heartily hates
a gringo? Moreover can we possibly
withdraw? The peon has tasted war
and he has been we'll fed during his
fighting days Will he be content with
anything less ihan war OF some ma E.
ture or another. Won't certain Sec
tiu,.s start rev revolu lens an !
keep the country in unrest and tur-
MOL? Won't it be essential, in fact
imperative for Uncle Sam to step in
with his authority as policeman
and use his baton for the pacifica
ton of the country? We may have
d semblance of quiet, but event .
ually this will have to be done.

and for surface concrete work. Small
quantities of the purest grades Of
potash feldspar are used in the man
Ufacture of artificial teeth. For this
purpose it brings the highest prices,
from So to IS a barrel, of $50 lbs. 1t
is also used in the manufacture of
securing soaps and window wash.
Ground feldspar has been used as d
fertilizer, but with results of doubt
full value. Attempts are being made
to extract from feldspar its content
of potash. Experiments along this
line have not yet developed a COM
mrecial process but it may well be
that some of the efforts will be sue
cessful.

PAPAL DECREE

ROME, Aug. 1.-The pope has is
sued a fresh decree prohibiting priests
from joining workmen's associations
on the ground that these bodies pro-
woke class hatred and consequent di-
visions among Roman Catholics.
The decree, SO far, only applies to
Italy Indeed the "Osservatore Ro-
mano" has practically censured the
bishop Of Como for his pastoral, criti-
cising mixed associations in Germany,
which has been resented by the Ba-

Exceedingly Important

We are very pleased to publish the
following issued by the secretary of
the American Mining Congress. The
topic touched upon is an exceedingly
important one to every one interested
an mining and especially the pros
pector. 1t was particularly in the
Satter's interest, that we have taken
up the cudgels in these columns a
number of times. However, there is
very decidedly more favorable and
reasonable desire of the Forest Ser
vice to work in harmony with the
general public especially since Mr..
Pnchot's time. If all those who
are interested in mineral dis
Co"ery and development will en-
deavor to work in harmony with the
service l am sure that only the best
results will be the outcome. The re-
gulations are all right they only want
to be intelligently' mad justly carried
ont and obeyed.
Robert E Tally, mine superintend-
ent of the United Verde, has recently
been appointed chairman of the COM
mittee on forest relations of the
American Mining Congress.

ought to be the rendering CT great

Timber for Arizona Mines

An examination has been made of
the available timber on the Apache
national forest reserve in view of
supplying the demand for trnbe.'
which at present is supplied from
the coast. 1t is the desire of the
forest service to supply all the in
dustries using timber in Arizona
with timber grown within the state.
There is when transportation facil,-
ties are provided, sufficient standing
timbecc on the national forests to do
this.
The above is from an exchange"

Operations at "ChiIito."

Operations at "Chilto."
Perhaps few persons outside of pos
tai clerks in Arizona know where
"Chlito" is. BY its name they would
naturally conclude 1t was in Chile.
Peru or some other South American
state But for their enlightenment l
may state that Chilito is in ella
county, Arizona and was founded by
George 3. Chittenden 1t is situated
In the banner mining district and
history of this district could not be
written without the name of Mr..
Chittenden being given an important
Acknowledgement. He also founded
the mining camp of Christmas and
was on the ground before it had that
name. So were the Phelps Dodge
Company. The latter performed quite
little development work on the
mining claims and later it was dis
covered that the claims were on the
Indian reservation. Efforts were made
and rightly so, to get it opened up
for location and this was successfully
accomplished. However, G. B. Chit
tenden after it's release was a little
ahead of the Phelps Dodge Company
and located the ground of what is
| now known as Christmas. Consider
able development work was accom-
plished and a small smelter erected.
| But several factors tended towards its
closing down. The ores were too low
| grade and refractory to be reduced
at a profit especially when so far away
from transportation and coke having
| to be hauled SO far. The company
operating the property got into finan-
cial difficulties and after a period of
| vissicitudes it eventually was acquired
by the Development Company
| Of America which did some
| work. but the property was
again shut down and is at present
idle The property is unquestionably
meritorious and in the right hands
and the advent of the railroad will no
doubt have a successful future.
Mr. Chittenden being enamored of
| the district in which he had spent so
many active years. took over what is
known as the Schneider group Of
| claims, and he has been actively en-
gagged the last two years in operating
the same and during this time has
continually employed about 30 men.
This camp is known as "Chilito"
and is self sustaining from the opera
tons Of the claims. There are about
100 people in the camp with postoffice
and school. The property has a
steady product of over 200 tons per
month Of 9 per cent copper ore. The
property is now opened by over 1890
| feet of underground work, all in good
shape for inspection and measurement
and is shipping steadily to the Hay
den smelter 10 tons week of bet
ter than 10 per cent ore and has not
missed a weeks shipment in two
p years, the ore taken out having paid
for itself and over 1000 feet of de-
velopment. This is a very good re-
cord and moreover the property has
the appearance of making mine
The property is again under option
and the negotiations were noticed in
these columns couple of weeks ago
The company undertakes to test the
ground with drill holes and three
, of these will at first be put down to
a depth of 500 feet. We trust the
), ella Canyon will prove all that is
claimed for it, for the district is a
good one and there is justification
, for greater activity than there is to-
day. We will watch with interest the
, future developments.

from the johnson district and also
from the Dixie property near Pata-
gonia and the Henderson property in
the same district. Amongst some of
these new finds it is reasonable to
suppose that the.e will be per cent
of permanent merit and with some
future and some may turn out and
be classed amongst our new pro-
ducers. A peculiar fact in connection
with all these new finds is that all Of
them are in or closely adjacent to
copper producing areas. 1t goes very
forcibly to show that little other min
eral is looked for outside of the one
the area is noted for. But these lat
est finds are going to get the pros
pector more closely investigating and
get away from the one idea habit
Probably no better illustration of this
can be given than the recent finds at
Leachville where it was found that
material thrown over the dump and
left in the mine was a valuable ore,
but Of another nature to what they
had mined and been used to.

Eugene Camp-Important Develop
ments in Ash Creek

A communication from parties in-
terested says that the Ash Creek
Gold Mining and Milling Company's
property is being developed by a
main shaft Work was commenced
about four months ago and it is ex-
pected to sink this shaft to a depth
of 500 feet and driving cross cuts at
each 100 foot level to reach the ore
and then drift upon it.
Already this shaft is down to a
depth of $50 feet and drifts are al
ready started both north and south
on sulphide ore and some high has
been encountered.
Mr. ]. H. Pool general manager and
vice president of the company pro-
poses shipping few carloads of this
ore to the Hayden smelter. But in
the near future it is intended to in
stall reduction plant at the mine.
In an incline on the lead north OF
the main shaft, has been found orc
assaying over Is per cent copper and
500 in gold. This ore it is believed
extends down to the north drift, the
latter being about 225, feet below the
surface outcrop. Arrangements have
been made to mine also the ore from
the incline for shipment to the smell
ter. AS will be observed above this
new camp has been christened Eugene
after the French Empress Eugene
The owners are in anticipation ant
hopes of soon being in the list OF
dividend paying mines. The camp i:
situated about four miles east o.
Winkelman and there are six claims

about 800 feet Of development worl

Cost Of Producing Copper

Probably it will be interesting to
our readers to have the comparative
cost of producing copper at the diff
ferent mines in Arizona. The varia-
ton is not so very great in appear
ance, but 1c per pound lends a con-
siderable importance when the price
of copper is low.
Arizona Copper 1914 production
O,00O.O 900 pounds, cost of production
l91-2c per pound.

ducing a pound of copper, lit is one
of the lowest in the United States),

! highest.
A rattlesnake story that was sent

from San Bernardino is pretty hard to
beat and as it relates to the discov-
| cry of ore We are pleased to reprint
it in these columns:
when w. E. Noble, pioneer desert
teamster took a shot at rattlesnake
coiled up close to the road in the
| Calico district near Sodaville, Nevada,
he fired a shot that made him rich.
Curiosity prompted him to take a
| look at the lock which was broken
by the bullet after it passed through
the snakes head and the assays on
the stuff runs upward of $3.50 per ton
of gold and about 900 ounces of sill
yer.
| George Moore brought the news OF
the strike and samples of the ore into
| the city yesterday. He says that
Noble has about $500 tons of ore IN
\ sight projecting above the surface oil

WASHINGTON, ID. C., September
2.-The Prussian general STAFF great
ly underestimate the military prov
ess- of the United States. judging
from the remarks of Gen. Won Edels-
helm in his memorandum on the
feasibility of an invasion of America.
This was the opening of naval and
military officers interviewed here to-
day. They were slightly amused at
some of Won Edelsheim's ideas.
1t was even suggested that some
of these errors were so gross as to
lead to the doubt that any member
of the Prussian general staff could
have been guilty of them.
According to the printed accounts,
Gen. Won Edelsheim declared: At
present the general army of the
United States amounts to $1,000 men,
of whom about 10000 could be dis
posed Of"
AS a matter of fact there are $4,000
men in the American army, of whom,
outside of contingents in the Philip
pines, Hawaii, China, Porto Rico, the
canal zone and the coast defenses,
about 10000 men, according to an
estimate made today, could be put
into the field The size of the Ameri-
can army can be found in any an
nual report of the secretary of war.
/ Army officers were especially in
clined to laugh over the Prussian
generals idea that of our forces at
4 least 10000 are required for watch
/ ing the Indian territories. Few Ameri-
cans, they said had to be told how
ridiculous this is; in fact, the In
dian tribes would undoubtedly supply
some of the brayest fighters in a
United States volunteer force.
Lastly Won Edelsheim is credit
ed with asserting, the militia is not
efficient; it is partly armed with
muzzle-loaders, and its training is
worse than it's armament" The
American national guardsmen are mo-
armed with ''mu3zle-loaders." They
are armed with Springfield rifles o
the regular army type, and there are
now more than enough Springfelds
of the regular type used by the army
in the reserve supply ready to equiI
an army of 100000 men for the frs
line of defense
