The Recent Gold Strikes.

Shortly before any of the recent gold strikes were made a mining man from New York stated to me that 1t was about time for Arizona tc have a new gold strike. It would stir up interest in prospecting and create an interest in that metal for there had been nothing but copper talked of late. A few weeks follow ing these remarks the much heralded strike in Yuma county was made and the property did produce some beau tiful gold -flaked ore. More recent is the strike in Pinal county near Ray and the discovery really appears tC be an important one. The latest is fl om Cochise, where it is reported some phenomenally rich ore has been found. We hope that all of them will develop into gold mines ot some permanent value, and probably if they get into the right mining hands they may. but we must bear in mind that one swallow does not mkae a summer, nor a gold specimen a mine.

THE MINES OF ARIZONA

these columns as being highly meri torious and having the earmarks of a future mine. It has also been es pecially referred 10 in connection with it's continuous shipment of high grade ores. The old owners are now shipping a car load of very rich ore, high in copper and silver contents, and the last wagon load of ore will arrive in a few days, after which the property is taken over by the new regime and the above names in con- nectiOn with it is a sufficient guar antee that everything in connection with the property will be conducted on a thorough business and practical basis. w.

 Mir. De GeX has been connected with the ownership of the Red Rover for thirteen years. He has had the firmest faith in it from the beginning and as work proceeded to a depth of 370 feet his faith has been justi fled. It is a copper and silver pro- perty The ore now being shipped runs 5 per cent copper. There is. of course. not a great deal of that value, but there is a large ore body that runs well up in copper content.
 The company has kept the mine running simply through the returns received rom the s'r'l ment of ore taken out during prospecting development. They exercised great faith, expended brawn and muscle, and used good judgment with the hard knocks. They are to be con- graduated on their tenacity. In the taking over of the property we are sure that great benefit will rebound to both organizations, for undoubt- edly the property is one of excep- tional merit and future possibilities.

An Important Mininq Question.

The following is news of interest to everyone connected in any way with the mining industry:
 Under the decision rendered by the interior department, dated De cember 29, ban which has been on the mining industry for several years is removed.
 "A number of years ago a rule was promulgated by the interior de- partment to the effect that a min ing claim could not pass patent un- less a sufficient amount of mineral was discovered to practically make 1t d paying business proposition Under the strict construction of this rule, it was next to impossible to obtain a patent, unless the claim had been fully developed and demon strated it's ability to remunerate its owner for working it.
 ''The late decision reve:ses the above rule, which has always beer considered absurd and detrimental to the mining interests, and gives capital an opportunity to explore mineralized land for the purpose oi developing a mine"
Arizona republican., 1914-02-22

This department is under the di reetion of Mr. w. E. Deity, the well known mining engineer, who will carefully scrutinize all mat ters relating to mining in order that only reliable information re- garding legitimate enterprises shall find place here.
 The Republican would be pleas ed to receive information from any part of the state regarding the development of the mining in- dustry. All communication should be addressed: Mining De- partment, Arizona Republican.

Colorado's Radium.


 The radium imbroglio seems now to be in a fair way of settlement. Out of the volumes of nonsense that have been talked, some things stand out clearly. If radium be inde- structibe Gin practical considera- tiOn), bountiful in supply in Colo rado (which is doubtfuD, and of in calculable value to humanity (which is still questionable). its conservation in the earth is manfestly undesir- able. On the contrary, the sooner all of COlorados radium can be eX- tracted the better off shall we be. However, the department of the in terior never had any serious idea of withdrawing the radium lands. It wants simply to go into the radium business, build a factory, buy ores, treat them, regulate prices, etc. This is to be the first step in the gov ernmental operation of metallurgical works and is in line with the talk of the governmental ownership ami operation of railways, telegraphs and all the rest.
 The fact that the government op- crates it's own great mOnOpoliStic en- terprise, the post office, in an ad- mittedly inefficient manner, does not Geter the advocates of governmental operation of all things.
 Of course, the proposal to with draw any mineral lands from loca- ton in Colorado was like waving a | red flag before a bull, which nc doubt Secretary Lane knew as well as anybody. Having got in the first shot, however, he was able gracefully | to offer a compromise, leaving the public lands open to prospecting ana location, but reserving to-tlte goY- ernment a call upon the product in solar as such product is wanted fol | the government works that congress | apparently is going to finance. Al of this is now going through con- gress on greased ways, just like z successful ship launching.
 | Incidentally, the affair precipitatet l in Colorado a rush to the radiun l fields that was reminiscent of th' rush to Cripple Creek. or shall W, more accurately find our analogy il the Mt. Pisgah excitement? From the radium fields there will, nC doubt, return a collection of sad, bu wiser prospectors.

Kelvin District.

The Troy Arizona property near Kelvin and formerly known as the Troy Manhattan is at present being developed under the management of Leo Von Rosenburg. great deal of money was spent on this property, but without any practical guidance, and most of it was absolutely thrown away. There was only one place where work was done that opened up any favorable condition for an ere body. To illustrate the intelli gence displayed: A car load of ore was hauled down to Casa Grande, 50 miles distant, for shipment to Fl Paso. Then they talked of building a smelter on the property and hauled the ore back again. This process cost considerable more than it was worth, of course, but it is sufficient to illustrate how things were man. aged. Mir. Rosenburg has now taken an option on the Renfro property, adjoining the Troy Arizona, consist ing of about 40 claims, on which there are some good contact crop pings.

Some Natural Resources.

The natural resources of Colorado have not been appreciated before, if one believes one of our contemporar-
 ies: Another natural product of Colorado is carbonundum This is a
 substance as hard as 8 diamond and will cut glass just as if it were cheese. The material sells for $100 per ton and there is a mountain of it down in Castilla county" Evi- dently the county nas passed through the electric furnace and has had a little coke and sawdust mixed with it. This reminds me of a conversa-

amount or acid is added, to decrease the tendency of the silicieous gangue to float with the ore. This was the general method followed in the ex- periments which follow, the variants being the kind of oil used, the amount of acid, the duration of agi- tation, the speed of the agitator, and the temperature of the solution
 This process is now being tried out on the Inspiration ores at Globe.

 The Copper Queen Mine Model.
 A noteworthy feature of the forth coming meeting of the A. I. M. E. will be the exhibition of the model of the Copper Queen mine in the American Museum of Natural His tory, which is now nearly completed. This model is one of the finest illus trations of a mine that has ever been made, perhaps it is the finest. It is due to the munificence of pr. Douglas. The work has been exc cGted under the direction of pr. Hovey of the museum.
 This model is about 12hx12 feet in horizontal dimensions and about , feet high, this representing a block of ground about one mile by two thirds mile in area. The vertical face shows a section through the country rock. exhibiting the geolog- ical formation, the occurrence of the ore bodies and the stopes of the mine. In the case of the greatest stope the observer is able to look clear through it and perceive its whole extent, stretching under the town of Bisbee, the timbering, posi- of ho ing accurately represented.
 Upon the surface every mining plant and every building of the dis trict. even the shanties of the most inferior character. are represented in precise form, appearance and color: so with the railway lines and all other features both natural and con- structional. The scale of the mode is A feet to the inch So faithful is the representation that in the case of the buildings covered with cor luedted iron the cOrrugatiOns of the sheets are to scale. Back of the model proper, which sits in a corner the walls are painted to show the distant view. So cleverly has the whole work been done that it is not easy to tell where the model leave off and the mural painting begins The big model above described ir brief way is the main feature of the exhibit. but there are two other models. One of these is a reproduc- tion of one of the famous stalactitie caves of the Copper Queen-a won- derful piece of work The other is | a model of the Sacramento shaft and the mine workings adjacent thereto on the scale of 6 feet to the inch l This model is designated to illustrate the methods of mining Both upor the surface and underground every | thing is a faithful reproduction ever 1 as to minute details In the shaf
 house the hoisting engine is not only 1 reproduced in form, but also it i, reproduced as piece of Workin: mechanism, and during exhibition
 hours it will continuously operat
 the two skips of the shaft, one go
 ing up and the other going down.
 These models stand in one of tn,
 rooms of the geological division 0 the museum. One of the sessions O
 the institute meeting will be held il 1 this room. Several papers will b.
 read at this session. including one b! 1 Dr. Hovey, who will describe tn | Copper Queen mine and will incl
 dentally tell something about th, | construction of this wonderful model which the museum has secured | through the generosity and publi | spirit of Dr. Douglas.

The ores main ly be taken from the Sacramento Hill although there are other areas which carry low grade ore and also amenabie to concentration. Bisbee is a wonderful district. Its great ore bodies have continued far beyond where there was any anticipation of finding ore. In fact, to present ap- pearances and demonstrations in the various properties, the district is only in its infancy, not only as re- gards it's ore deposits, but it's dis seminated areas as well. and it is difficult to contemplate the point where this naturalization will cease
