CONCENTRATOR OF NEW
 TYPE FOR STRATTON
(From Fridays Daily.)

TUCSON, Nov. g. - That a new concentrator will be erected in the course of the next few weeks at the mine of the Stratton Copper Com pany near Mount Lennon, was the announcement yesterday of C. \. Wilson, president Of the company. The new concentrator will operate ac- cording to a new damp process re- gently patented by an Fastener, which is said to be very effective. It will be the second of its kind to be erected in the United States, the oth- CT plant being located in Virginia. It will be constructed on the unit sys- tenn, and will have capacity of 50O tons daily when it begins operations. Should the new process prove the success which Mir. Wilson anticipates, other units will be added to the plant, increasing the capacity to thousands of tons.
 According to Mir. Wilson, the mine will be able to ship % per cent con centrates to Tucson when the new plant is in operation.
 At the present time, the mine is sending in only the F per cent ore, a car of which is now on its way to Tucson; and dumping the lower grade ere, which runs s per cent, into Rat tlesnake canyon. When the new Mount Lennon road is completed, the company will connect its private highway to tine road by a four-mile extension, and will then establish an automobile truck line to laul the ore to Tucson

LIVELY DOINGS IN
 HUBNERITE FIELD
(From Fridays Dai!~.)

Chief of Police Robert Robbins, again leaves today for the hubnerite field of Eureka district, and will be accompanied by Orville Bozartn, his associate in a group of these mines, having been granted a two weeks leave of absence by Mayor Timerhoif Robbins & Bozarth have established a camp, and six miners are developing
 Two other camps are operating in that belt. Lawler. Wood & Connors, and the Colorado syndicate, headed by E. J. Temple, which is now estaj- fishing itself and plans to go ahead for the winter. If weather conditions permit shipping will begin during December from all three properties that adjoin. A telegram received yesterday by Chief Robbins stated that Henry Ford's representative was en route from Detroit and would ar rive in Prescott this week to make an of these mines, with the object of closing deal

TIPTOP REVIVAL RECALLS
 DAYS OF LONG AGO
(From Wednesdays Dailyl


 In reviewing operations during the rast month of the new syndicate which has recently taken over and re viSed the famously known old Tiptop silver mines, for the wolframite values carried in the immense tonnage that was piled up on different dumps as long ago as thirty years, General Manager w. W. Elliott, who is in the city, made the following interesting statement yesterday:
 'Tnc sampling has been concluded of different dumps, containing approx imately 10000 tons, and test runs put through the mill of from 650 to 2,250 pounds each, have given returns in tungsten that are decidedly gratify- ing. The percentage of this metal carried is withheld, but is entirely satisfactory. Concentration for tung- sten and cyanidation for silver was the process of determining these re- coveries. This work was carefully conducted by F. A. Muter, principal Of the operating company, who Is an experienced chemist, and there is no question whatever Of the future of the property being an attractive one. My trip to Prescott at this time IS 10 pur- chase additional machinery to be add ed to the present equipment, and large operations are to begin forthwith. The plan Is to go into the mine and begin production, leaving the dumps untouched for the present. The ton mage of tungsten exposed in all old workings from the surface to the S00- foot level is so huge as to be incal- culable. We have already opened the Z00-foot level to the face for a dis tance of HOO feet, and an old stope between the first and second levels is also opened, as well is the original shaft cleared from the surface to the 200-foot level. In all of these work ings is exposed fine grade of tung- sten, and the resources of the prop erty in this metallic asset as well as silver, are beyond speculation and de- cidedly gratifying
 This old camp resuming, has oc- casioned a rush to that silver field, where many mines are known to car ry tungsten ores that were assorted from the silver and thrown aside dur ing the lively days of the sos when Tiptop was booming, with the white metal quoted at $l.29 per ounce. It is admitted, however, by mining men conversant with actual conditions of that belt, that Tiptop holds the key to that immense vault of tungsten, which is due to its vast exploration in carly days, and the economical out | lay that will be required to make the heavy production that is assured. The | prospcctor, however, is again on the scene as in other days, and reports | from the district show many locations are being made

RANGEMEN MAKE MINERAL
 FIND BY ACCIDENT
(From Thnrsdav's Daily.l


 Arriving in Prescott yesterday, Clifford Koontz and Lester Johnson, two well-knOwn young rangemen of the Camp Wood country, gave out information relative to their locating a new tungsten property, .and sub stantiated the discovery by exhibiting several pounds of this valuable min eral. For several days after their acci- dental discovery of the mineral, they made limited exploration of the out cropping, cutting dozens Of samples, and all they stated were of uniform grade. The place where the strike was made IS about twelve miles west Of Williamson valley, near Pine Flat, and only two claims were located. Mir. Koontz stated yesterday that the discovery was purely an accident He said:
 Johnson and myself were branding calves, and as peculiar as it may seem, we built fire on the ledge that outcrops quite prominently at that point. After we were through John son picked up piece of dull looking metal and said it was heavy. This was the float from the dyke, and we were curiously inclined to ascertain from whence it came The big out crop was examined and we dug a small hole therein, only to be sur prised. From that point we proceed ed along the dyke for fully half mile, and from several small holes we secured samples. We then conclud ed to observe secrecy until locations were made so that our title would not be disturbed This has been done, and some little work has been per. formed. The vein is about eighteen inches wide, and is continuous for the length of the two claims. The grade is high which the samples will verify and several pounds have been shipped to Denver for analysis. Another mat ter in competition with this strike, IS that since the hubneritc discovery in that region, all rangcmen have been on the lookout for indications in the formation similar to that belt, which has been run over by cowboys for many years, in ignorance of what was being trampled upon. Johnson and myself took the cue and the future will decide what we have. At any rate it looks good"
 This strike illustrates what at the present time is prevailing in this field in the lively rush of prospectors noted from many localities to secure tung- sten locations, and metals of kindred nature. The Tiptop resuming mas again brought that belt into favor, and strikes are reported of this min eral Turkey creek also has many seekers for tungsten, while the hub nerite belt to the west continues to attract investors as well as prospect ors. The situation, accordingly is quite interesting. The high price of this mineral is the inducement to at tract the many.

SETTLE DOWN TO
 ALL-WINTER SIEGE

PHOENIX, Nov. 25. - Adjutant (. w. Harris, head of the Arizona military forces, who mas spent much time in the Clifton district since the beginning of the strike and who is oi course, very familiar with the situa- ton in that section. in speaking of the matter yesterday evening, said:
 "The last reports which I have re- ceived from Clifton indicate that everything is very quiet there, but notwithstanding this fact, I shall te- turn to that place in a few days. But one thing is certain. and that is the miners are never going to give in to the operators. A fund of about $20,- GOO month has been raised by the various trade organizations for the aid of the striking miners, and backed by this money, they have signifed their intentions of holding out till a certain hot place freezes over.
 "The Federal investigation which IS now being conducted there by Com missioners Davies and Myers, is ono of the best things that ever happened to the copper industry in the State of Arizona, and particularly the Clifton district. For number of years past the companies have been pulling off some very raw deals on the miners in their employ, carrying things with high hand, and woe to the miner who dared to raise his voice in protest.
 "One of the most fragrant cases ot injustice to the workers was the meth ods by which the Arizona Copper Company conducted the store. The miners were compelled to pay tire company profit of from one to two hundred per cent on all their pur chases. l am glad to see the Federal authorities Investigating that store
 The strikers have apparently giy- On up all thought of starting riots or any kind of disorders, and have set tied down for an all-winter siege, with plenty of money to insure success. ful holdout"

 John Anderson arrived from Crown King on Tuesday and yesterday clos cd up another contract for driving the tunnel on the Fairview gold mines, owned by Ed. Block, making the sixth time he mas figured in develop ing this property.
 He stated the present tunnel has been run for 171 feet, and from start to finish a continuous ore shoot had been determined. The face of the tunnel shows a 36-inch ore body, he says, and two parallel veins arc proven.
 There is no doubt of the. Fairview being a very desirable proposition, and the fact of it being the first north extension of the Nelson, all the more gives it at this time future of splen did possibilities" he said. MT. An derson speaks of the Nelson as ab- sorbing more attention in that field than has ever been known in Brad shaw mining, and the ore from the new strike is richer than from the tunnel workings, to add all the more to its wonderful resources.

DEAL
 CLOSED; WORK TO START
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 The arrival yesterday of three prominently known mining operators of Colorado, ill E. s. Temple of Boulder, Sidney Harris of Silver Plume, and w. C. Herwig of Lake wood, signalizes the beginning of ac tive development at once in the hub nerite field of Eureka district.
 These mining men have closed a leasing deal with Asa Bozartn for his nine claims, and for the two claims of Orville Bozarth. Preceding this transaction, MT. Temple made two trips to that section, remaining for several days to make careful observa, tions of conditions, which he states are decidedly attractive. The operat- ors, it is reported, are considering the closing of other deals in that belt while in the country. Production is guaranteed from previous exploration. The taking out Of large line of supplies, material and the establish ing Of camp will be the first move, and operations are expected to start before the end of this week.

THIRST SHAKING
 EXPEDITION A SUCCESS

TUCSON, Nov. 25.-A measure cf the torturing thirst which has long afflicted the appetites of Tucsonans, was obtained from stories told by per sons returning from the State Fair at Phoenix which indicate that the capi- tai city has had little occasion to worry concerning the arid condition of the rest of the State.
 Tucson has been plenty thirsty, ac- cording to those who should know but not so with the fair capital of Ari- zona, the seat and center of dry Maricopa county, for testimony of eye witnesses to the great State Fair and its aftermath agrees that there was never so much liquor in sight in poor old Tucson even in her palmiest days, as was carried around both inside and outside of the strangers who got within the city gates of Phoenix dur ing the last week
 The men of Northern Arizona, who have been incensed at Maricopa coun ty and Phoenix particularly since prohibition was carried by means of the heavy dry vote there; and who posted signs about Prescott reading Are you going to the State Fair? I'm not" missed one of the largest thirst slaking expeditions that has ever been indulged in by the faithful of this State, it is said. The drinking was not confined to men but was also indulged in by many women visitors from all parts of the State including Tucson.
 Many of the hotel Hobbies looked like crowded harbors in which many lightly ballasted sea-going yachts cruised and bobbled as if caught in long of-shore swell. Several of the more heavily laden, according to re- ports, looked like correct limitations of schooners coming over the bar, and many were flying distress signals before the iollifcation was over.
 According to the testimony of former saloon keeper of Tucson, the booze was flowing more conspicuous ly in Phoenix during the State Fair, than it did when the State was wet, and the Tiger received all of the homage which could be bestowed up on him by the caravans of pilgrims, who had suffered and endured much before arriving at the oasis.
 The fact that Tucson has gained the reputation of being the dryest town in the State since local officials have attacked the liquor supplies at their source by confscating snip ments at the depots, is supposed to have had a direct effect upon the available supply at the capital last week.
 Some whiskey is still obtainable here, it is said, but the price of the fluid, according to old-timers, mas Ieaped to $ quart and is threaten ing daily to go higher

ABANDONED MINE
 SWINGS INTO ACTIVITY
(From Thursdays Daily.l


 Another mining transaction for the Walker field, of quite important rat ing, is the taking over by C. E. Hayes and J. A. Bridge recently of the old Last Chance group of three mines, operated in early days and abandoned by the original owner
 The new operators enter that field equipped with a thorough knowledge Of the business. Mir. Hayes, who is a metallurgist of scientific training, is to be in charge of development. The work of rctimbering and cleaning out the old shaft has been completed, and sufficient development has been per formed in the past month to warrant the outlay of considerable capital. In sinking from the 50-foot level an cight-inch streak of gold ore was cut that gave returns of over 800 to the ton,. and cross-cutting for the main lead has started. Surface showings justify this work, Mir Hayes stated yesterday, and with drifting and sink ing to go ahead from the original workings, a system of thorough ex- ploration is planned. He also stated there IS every favorable indication prevailing to promote this develop ment, and further, Straub ten stamp mill will be erected on the ground in a short time, the ore tonnage exposed warranting this outlay. Additional equipment will be installed to recover the baser metals in the form of con centrate.
 The reviving of the Last Chance is another straw indicating that old mines are again becoming active in the above and other sections of this county, through the advent of min ing men of practical ability, and in also of properties be- coming remunerative when modern methods are employed as against the primitive era of long ago. The Last Chance is close association, and is to be individually handled in the future.

LABOR WANTS A SINGLE
 HOUSE LEGISLATURE

PHOENIX, Nov. 26 - Arizona's State legislature is to be one house affair only, if the Arizona State Fed eration of Labor has its way.
 The first initiative petitions for the 19l6 election nave been filed in the secretary of States office and provide for doing away of the senate, and leaving the house as it is now com posed.
 The plan also provided for limiting the power of the legislature to pass emergency measures.
 Under the plan proposed the 1egis- lature's salary would be subject to the 90 days referendum as other bills are which do not have the emergency clause attached.
 Another amendment gives the legis- lature power to consider anything at special sessions, notwithstanding tine governors specifications.
 Another would exclude national guardsmen from the list of notaries public, postmasters of the fourth class and national guardsmen as the only officials wno can be members of the legislature.
 One amendment does away with the reading of every bill in full three sep arate days. Others tend to do away with many provisions made especially to govern procedure when Arizona became a State.
 Two petitions have been filed. each containing 20 names, by J. NJ. Hall of San Simon, Cochise county, who. it is said, is circulating them for the Ari- zona State Federation of Labor.

 Adolph Steiner, who passed through Prescott yesterday afternoon, from Aspen, Colo, faced the sad duty of meeting a brother, Alfred Steiner, in death. Anticipations of joy in re- union of the two were shattered, as tidings Of death reached the visitor on Tuesday morning as he was speed ing to Blythe Junction, where the two were again to greet each other this Thanksgiving after a separation of over ten years. The deceased was a miner, and the fatal affliction was due to ptomaine poisoning contracted at mining camp in partaking of canned tomatoes. The visitor was employed many years ago at the United Verde mine. He stated the body of his brother will be taken home and laid by the side of wife and his parents.

MOHAVE MINING
 DEAL OF LOCAL INTEREST
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


 From the law offices of Attorney LeRoy Anderson in this city yester day was given publicity to a very i'm portant deal being closed in Mohavc county, whereby the Jerome-Oatman Company acquired the Merritt gold group, which will be merged with the above holdings and operated under one management.
 Negotiations had been pending for several months to take over this de sirable holding, and the final deal was made through J. E. Lceper surrender ing his option thereto, and the Jc- rome-Oatman securing possession. The amount involved is heavy from the desirable location of the Merritt, which adjoins the Tom Reed and is continuation of the United Eastern as well. This deal has local interest, for the reason that q large block oi shares of Jerome-Oatman is held in Prescott and Jerome, in fact, the f. nancial support back of this under. taking comes mainly from this county. The Merritt is separated some dis tancc from the Jerome -Oatman work ings, several locations intervening to the Tom Reed, and for this reason a second operating camp is to be estab lished. Development begins at once, and an energetic system of deep cx- ploration has been decided upon.

BLACK HILLS TO HAVE
 ANOTHER MINE CAMP
(From Fridays DaiIy.)


 The taking over under an option of the old Michigan mining claims, and the location of an additional group or four paralleling and three continuing on the Assure, is another quite i'm portant transaction to be closed ;c- gently, in which Seth and Jas Whemp and George Bright, all of Lansing, Mich, figure as future operators.
 The Michigan was acquired from the heirs of Johnston Stevens, of Baldwin, Mich, some months ago. The Whemp brothers have assumed charge and while in the city during the week announced that after their return from Lansing operations are to begin. Both are practical copper operators, figuring recently in the above State in the lake regions. Pre- ceding the deal being closed, they made observations last spring, and copper again assuming high market price, and with permanency assured, they have concluded to enter this field.
 The holdings of the new company are situated northeast of the old Ari zona Central camp in the Black hills. and nothing but annual assessment work had been performed by the or iginal owner, who passed away sew eral years ago. For the present, they state, windlass shafts will be sunk at different points. to prospect, and later machinery will be introduced. The new operators expect to establish a camp early in December.
