new WILCOX BRANCH
OF PHOENIX BANK
OPENED TODAY
DepoSitorS Of Old Bank win Be
Paid Seventy-tive Per Cent at
Once on Their Deposits; Cattle
Shipments; Creamery Starts.

Wilcox branch of the Central Bank
of Phoenix, ana the new bank was
opened for business this morning S.
b. Brown. formerly vice-prosident of
the Citizens State bank of Alvin.

stitution
The announcement of the opening
of the Wilcox branch of the Central
bank comes as welcome news to the
Gepositors of the defunct Sulphur
Springs Valley bank, who will receive
as per cent of their deposits at once.
This arrangement was brought about
by the new branch taking over paper
belonging to the old bank, and through
the formation of an adjustment COM
pany by depositors and creditors of
the institution. The plan is similar to
that proposed by Auditor Callaghan
and adopted in Phoenix last year at
the time of the adjustment of the az
fairs of the Valley bank of Phoenix.
BY reason of its strong connections
and the recognized stability of the
men behind the Central band of Phoe-
nix, the new branch is looked upon as
a valuable addition to the financial
institutions OF Cochise county and the
southern part OF the state.

but will take a much needed rest be
fore embarking in any other enter
prise.
Creamery Getting Ready
The Valley Creamery company is in
the market for cream, etc. and will
shortly secure the services Of a relia-
ble butter-maker. At meeting of the
hoard OF directors held recently it was
decided to start work making butter
a, once. Another matter which was
taken up at the meeting was that of
preparing the notes for subscribers OF
stock who are pledged TO support the
creamery with their cream, and it was
also decided TO purchase the necessary
stock certificates so that those who
have subscribed cash can have pos

east. The amount of power obtained
from this source during the wet sea-
son is over 1000 horse power. UP to
1910 the only other power available
was supplied by direct connected
seam, engines which were operated as
alternatives for direct water power.
Ore hosting is done by steam power
only.
In 1910 the policy of electrifying the
power system was inaugurated and as
a result we have the Sheep Creek by
dro-electric plant. flood water plant
having a capacity of $500 kilo-watts,
and the Nugget Creek plant having a
capacity of 5000 kilo-wats. These
plants are situated on the mainland
the Sheep Creek plant being 4 miles
southeast of Juneau and the Nugget
Creek plant, at the foot Of Mendenhall
glacier, II miles northwest OF Juneau,
These two plants are the third source
of wer-hydro-electric power.
The fourth source is steam-gener-
ated electric power, which is gener-
ated at the Central Power Plant at
Treadwell. This plant contains four
generators, each directly connected to
a steam turbine, operating at a speed
of 5000 revolutions per minute. This
plant operates during periods when
the power supply from the hydro-elec-
trio plants fail and has capacity,
when the power is taken at Tread
well, equal to both hydro-electric
plants. The policy pursued at pres.
ent tends to the elimination of d.
rect steam power where possible.
California crude oil is used under
all boilers for generating steam for
power or heat. 1t is brought north in
large tank ships and stored in steel
tanks. The eight oil storage tanks at
Treadwell have a capacity of 100000

and more satisfactory service.
The cost of the improvements to the
telephone system that are underway
will be about $4,000, and it is plan
ned to inaugurate the new service in
the later part of August of the pres
ent year.
A new Universal Multiple switch
board, arranged for 1900 lines is the
principal item in the new equipment.
The order has been placed with the
Kellogg Supply company, the leading
American manufacturers Of telephone
supplies. This board will not only
make it possible for subscribers to get
quicker service, but it will enable one
operator to make as many connections
as three operators could make with

The new switchboard and equip

neau as good service as it is possible

portant changes to the subscribers
will be the automatic ringing system,
which makes it only necessary for
the user to lift the receiver from the

capacity of the plant will be increased
about $50 per cent.

Telephone Go.

The growth Of the Juneau and
Douglas Telephone company has been
gradual, and from humble begin
ming. It was rs years ago-in 1890
that the service had its beginning. Ed.
Webster has been the controlling spir-
it in the company from the start,
and now he owns every share Of the
company's stock. In 1890 he was the
Pacific Coast Steamship company
sgen! at Juneau. and he and Frank
Bach, at the present time deputy Unit
ed States marshal at Douglas, had a
store at Douglas. They conceived the
idea of having their Offices connected
by q telephone, and the first tele-
phones in this vicinity were those
placed in their Offices at that time.
They used trees for poles on which

There are many activities about

panies on Douglas Island operate
general store, market, boarding
houses, lodging houses, machine shop,
blacksmith shops. boiler shops, sheet
metal works, foundry, pattern shop,
carpenter shop, electrical repair shops
and others. About 20 cottages, have
been built for married employees and

1t is planned to have a mill capable
of crushing 5000 tons of ore in "a
hours. The mine is now undergoing
extensive development to be ready
for production of enough rock to keep
the mill going. Mill construction will
not be attempted until 1916.
The engineers in reporting on the
property, said:
"The company owns on this vein
over a mile in length on the outcrop
with a width between walls of some
900 feet. This length of outcrop and
tremendous width give an enormous
available tonnage Of vein matter above
sea level. The vein consists of slate
carrying gold bearing quartz, irreg-
ularly distributed through it in the
form of veinlets, stringers and mass
es. Dykes of metagabbro have intrud-
ed themselves into the vein and these
dykes in turn carry quartz similarly
distributed. In some places the
quartz is sparingly distributed while
in others it is more or less concen.
trated. 1t seems highly probable that
this quartz can. to considerable
degree, be sorted from the enclosing
vein matter, thus yielding a mater
tally higher mill feed than the aver.
age of the mass.

the following results:

ant superintendent of the Treadwell
mines under Joseph Macdonald, like
so many of the big Alaska miners, is
a graduate of the University of Cali,
fornia. He succeeded Joseph Mac,
donald as superintendent of Tread,
we'll in 1904, and later became super
intendent of the Alaska-Juneau mine
also. He further increased the pro-
ducing capacity of the Treadwell
mines and had charge of the devel-
opment of the Alaska-Juneau until
about a year ago, when he resigned
to enter business for himself as a
mining engineer. He has offices in
San Francisco. He is regarded as
one of the really big men who have
been connected with low-grade lode
gold mining in Alaska.

I'm addition to this we have the past
milling records of the Perseverance,
now part of the Alaska Gold Mines
Company, which adjoins the Alaska
Juneau on the eastern end, all of
which indicate value more or less
closely approximating those above
given.
1.-THE cubic contents of the vein
above the Gold Creek tunnel level
and between the eastern and west
ern ends of the property, totals, ap-
proximately 50O,00O,O0O tons of slate,
metagabbro and quartz. From this
there should be mined, from selected
places, SO,OOO,OOO to 1OO,OO0.OOO tons
hof vein matter and quartz suitable for
milling that should yield net profit
of from: 20 cents to 81 per ton, de-
pending upon conditions Of mining
that cannot at this time be estimated
within close limits of ultimate profit.
Areas will probably be found in which
mining may profitably be conducted
by sorting, leaving two tons in the
slopes for every ton milled. Other
areas will probably be found, all Of
which may be mined without the ne

"The mining chances below the
Gold Creek tunnel level promise an
addition of twice as much tonnage of
the same value as we believe the vein
will yield above the Gold Creek tun-
mel. These mining chances are based
upon the fact that in a parallel vein
two miles away on Douglas island the
ore bodies are now being mined at a
depth of 1000 feet below sea level.
All that depth, the Douglas Island ore
bodies still hold their size and aver
age values.
ut is estimated that with the ex-
penditure of funds realized from the
sale Of the shares of stock for the de-
velopment and equipment Of the prop
erty, the company will be able to earn
at least $1,40O,O00 per annum."
