BIG Placer Belt viii Soon be Active.

Harry Shumate and Charles Ander-
son have gone to the holdings of the
Rich Hill Placer Company, near STAN
ton, to establish camp, install ma
chinery, and begin exploration on a
comprehensive scale to ascertain auri-
ferrous conditions in that famed placer
gold belt.
This proposition is attracting very
much interest, from the fact of that
field being the source of producing as
high as two and one-half millions of
dust since the first discovery that was
made in the early sixties, and for the
additional reason that the present
movement will be the first wherein
practical consideration has been ex-
ended that zone on broad plane of
operation.
The Stebbins concentration, with a
capacity of handling twelve tons of
gravel per hour by the dry process, is
on the ground, and will be set up at
once. Half dozen large tent houses
are to be erected and the force of men
employed for the initial operations will
be twenty.
The first camp will be located about
one-half mile southwest of Stanton,
on the mesa. After that zone is test
ed, the next move will be toward
Weaver Gulch, and near Octave. The
plant to be installed is of portable con-
struction, and is adapted for soil that
is dry. Wet tests are to be MADE OF
all openings, also the aim of the hold
ers, of the option being to ascertain
absolute conditions as to values carried
in the gravel formation of the large
tract.
Several weeks will elapse before
definite results are known, over 5000
acres being in the group. Mr.. Ander-
son comes from the Cave creek coun-
try, near Qlartzsite, where he is
identified with placer propositions, dry
and wet, and has made a specially of
operating the Schoefer and Stebbins
machines. The latter, he says, is a
marvel of construction, and will revo-
lutionize the placer industry on dry
process if soil conditions are favorable.

Ray.

The Ray Con. Copper Co.'S report
for the second quarter of 1914 shows
that the average monthly production
during that period was 5,997, lis los.
In addition to copper derived from
concentrating ores, there was 314,2l
lbs. contained in ores shipped direct to
the smelter during the quarter. This,
combined with copper contained in con-
centrates, makes total prod lction for
quarter 19,062,555 lbs. Total amount
of ore milled for quarter was 764, 04O
dry tons, averaging 1786 per cent cop
per, as compared with TIA, 0O9 dry tons,
averaging l. 1878 per cent for prev us
quarter. Average mill recovery for
quarter was 1862 per cent, compared
to 67.13 per cent for previous quarter.
Milling costs for quarter were 47.24
cts, as compared with 1915 cts. for
previous quarter. Average mining and
coarse crushing costs of ores milled for
quarter were 65.078 cts. per ton, of
which 1887 cts. was cost of coarse
crushing, leaving net mining cost
81. TAI cts. per ton, a reduction of 3.4
cts. compared with previous quarter.
Underground development for quarter
amounted to 81, SIS feet, making total
development to date 438, 319 f.

To Pump Water From
Black Ledge Wine

A Phoebe, New, dispatch says: On
account of having driven on the four
teenth level Of the Amalgamated Phoebe
so near to the Black Ledge Wine,
superintendent Van Wagenen states
that it has become dangerous to ap-
proach any closer on account of tapping
the great volume of water in and tribu-
tary to the winze, and has stopped
work on the fourteenth level. Mean
while, preparations are being made to
pump the water from the top of the
winze as well as from the fourteenth
level.
Mr.. Van Wagenen says, however,
that work will be resumed on the four
teenth level j lst as soon as the water
situation is cleared. TIE water is now
being raised to the surface instead of
to the 1900 Meadow Valley drift as
heretofore.
Mining of ore from the 1900 level
will go ahead as usual, notwithstand-
ing that the smelters have advised that
settlements will not be made on ores
shipped until metal quotations are re-
sumed.
Returns from shipments made before
the metal exchanges closed on account
of the foreign war were received this
week and showed that the ore con-
tanned better values than any ore ship
ped under the present management of
the property.

Advance in Silver
Cheers Mining Men.

In accordance with telegraphic in
structions received in Denver on Thurs
day from the New York Office, the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany settled with shippers for the sill
yer in their ores at Sc 5-8 cents per
ounce. This quotation covers all silver
received since August II and up to
August 10 when the week was con-
cluded. The quotation was based on
actual sales in New York to American
manufacturers and to foreign govern
ments. The London quotation is SO l-2
cents. 1t is stated that the belief is
general that future quotations on sill
Yer VIII be based on the Asiatic ratio
to gold of 80 to l. This means &c
cents per ol.e for silver in New York,
Denver and San Francisco. San Fran
cisco now handles the silver product of
the states west of Colorado, including
Utah, Nevada and Idaho.
In furtner suppor. OF the silver mar
ket the senate committee on finance
has reported bill authorizing the
government to purchase $1,000, 900
ounces of silver within the next six
months. Senator Smoot of Utah on
Friday asked unanimous consent fvr
it's consideration but Senator Bristow
of Kansas objected. Ii this bill is
passed, it will result in providing a
market for 80, 900, 900 ounces of silver
within six months, inasmuch as Is, 900, =
900 ounces will be taken by the smell
ting companies irrespective of the
government purchase. This means an
assured market for nearly the normal
output. Mining Investor.

Poverty vii! Resume Shipping.

The Poverty mine of D. M. Clark on
Slate creek, that has been developing
for several months under the superin-
tendency of Mark Bradley, will again
begin shipping this week. Several
teams from Ruffners stables left for the
camp yesterday and it is the purpose to
load in this city at least two cars a
week hereafter until the dump of
several hundred tons is removed.
The Poverty started shipping when
the slump in copper and silver took
place and the first carload sent to Hay
den smelters gave satisfactory returns.
The values carried are mainly gold and
this metal is reported to be the induce
ment for shipping to be resumed.
Underground conditions at this prop
erty are said to be attractive since new
development has been given.
