 The bulk Of the ores can be treated by the oil or wet concentration sys- tems already we'll worked out on ores of this character.
 If the teaching. precipitation plan Is success for the carbonate ores there may also be some plan devised to get at the underlying sulphides. It might be possible. where section of the car. bonate structure Is removed. to mine the sulphides SO exposed, concentrat- ing them say twenty to one. then to feed these concentrates after roasting and oxidizing them, into the teaching plant fin mixture with the carbonates. This plan is considered feasible by the expert in. charge of the experimental plant now being prepared at Douglas. Or the concentrates might be popular with smelters needing silicious con. centrates such as this would be. This is matter that will have to be worked out in the course of progress at the mine. It will be very interesting | work. and we are of the opinion that much will be accomplished here that ! will be of value to the miners of cop per ore of similar physical structure. Certainly some of the best brains in this line will be engaged here. and there will be no lack of energy on the part of the operators.
 IL was because of it's thorough knowledge of the amount and quality of the Ajo ores and the belief that 1 it could get the copper out at profit. , that led the company to purchase it.
 It is admitted that no other organiza-
 ton has better judges of mines and ore treatment than this. It has some
 of the very best men in the business
 in all it's departments. At Ajo as as-
 sistant to Superintendent Curley. is

 Drilling for Water Supply
 | The New Cornelia Copper company,
 by which name this subsidiary of Cal. umet & Arizona is known has for
 scme time been engaged in searching
 the plain north and east from mines for water. It has two oil well drilling
 outfits employed and these have churn mately l l,360 feet. the diameter of holes drilled two holes to depth approxi- being Q 5-s inches. One of these holes D ufn tho other is still going down. A third hole ! is soon to be started in new location.
 it being the desire 10 learn as much
 of the water area and supply as pos sibe. It Is thought enough water will
 be developed for the use of the com
 pany which would be about 300 gal. Ions per minute. The rainfall of this section is not very heavy and evapora
 tion is excessive. As in Arizona, rivers generally flow underground Should
 the company be disappointed in find
 ing sufficient water near the mines for
 their needs they could get an abund- . ance at the Gila river. 42 miles away. Tucson Wants the Business Tucson. a most enterprising city, wants the New Cornelia people to
 build its railroad from that city to
 the mines. a distance, by the newest,
 most practical survey. of 132 miles. There would be no grade exceeding
 eighth-tenths of one per cent. and no curvature greater that three per cent
 road could be very quickly and
 cheaply built Ties could be laid on the desert floor, rails spiked on. and
 ballasting done with the waste from the mills as it could be made. the ma
 terial being ideal for the purpose.
 Tucson has two lines of railway. the
 Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso & Southwestern, the latter having its
 present western terminus here.
 The company could reach the South. western Pacific in 42 miles at Gila
 Bend. at which point is also the Gila
 river. The matter of route Is most i'm poitant and many things enter into
 the problem No decision has yet been reached, and many not for several months.
 Prospecting the Amole

 railway route from Tucson, the Calu-
