Amsters Buy
 GOlcOnda Mine
Noted Mohave County Zinc Mine Passes Into Hands
 of Big Copper People

Last Thursday representatives of the Amster interests closed their option on the Golconda mine, or rather on ma jority of the stock of the Union Basin Mining company, owner of the big zinc property. John Boyle, who made the property what it is today, and who was the owner of three-fourths of the issued stock, made big cleanup, realizing a net of 15O, ,OOO$. Many others of the small stockholders of the company pool ed their stock and it is also to be taken over by the new people.
 About five years ago MT. Boyle took over the Golconda mine when it was a mere prospect and soon had it shipping big tonnage of ore to the smelters. In the early life of the mine he had a hard struggle to make it possible to ship the ore at profit, but as the years went on people recognized the wonder ful value of the property and funds were realizable on bonds of the com pany. But this all took work to make it possible, and MT. Boyle is to be con- graduated in making a mine out of the property and then bringing in one of the biggest operators in the game to maintain it as great producer. The Amsters, who have taken over control of the property, have large interests in the copper mines of Globe and Morenci. They have made thorough examina- tion of the mine and know its worth. Their option was obtained on the mine when zinc was low and had the purchase not been made MT. Boyle would have made still greater winning. The mine has one of the best contracts ever made with shelter, and this contract has long time to run, assuring revenue of at least 50, 00O$ per month to the prop erty.
 Mr. Boyle has taken over the mines of the Stockton Hill Mining company and will devote his time to the opera tion of the mine and the big milling plant.
 It is expected that the Amsters will enlarge the capacity of the plant at the Golconda and give the mine great CT output with larger machinery, it being possible to handle the big zinc bodies of the Tub mine at profit.

Williams Tungsten Mines Sold.

Yesterday L. L. Stevens, F. M. Townsend and G. L. Cooper came in from Los Angeles and exercised their fiften day option on the Williams tung- sten properties. A payment of 5,0O0$ was made on basis of 50, ,0OO$ for the mines. O. D. M. Gaddis and Ed. Williams were the owners of the prop erty and made the deal. George Roper made the examination of the mine and it was on his report that the property was bought.
 The mines are situated near Oak Springs, in the Aquarius mountains, about 65 miles southeast of Kingman. During the past several years MT. Will Hams has been at work opening the mines and has splendid showing of ore.
 About ten days ago MT. Stevens took an option on the mines and at once got busy with the result that yesterday the first payment was made and today arrangements are being made for ac- tive development of the mines. MT. Stevens will probably have charge of the property during the preliminary stage. A milling plant is to be put or the mine as soon as experiment shows what is needed in the line of concentra- ton.

Importance of Alaska.

Washington, D. Merchandise and treasure to the value of 66, 800, OOO$ moved between Alaska and the United States in 1914, an increase of 4,OOO, OOO$ over 1913. Our shipments to Alaska last year according to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, aggregated 22,5OO,OOO including ap- proximately IA, 1900, 0O0$ worth of manu- factures, 6,2OO,O OOO$ worth of food stuffs and 2,OOO, ,OOO$ worth of gold,
 silver and miscellaneous material, in- cluding foreign merchandise valued at 5OO,OOO$. As market for our products Alaska, having population of only 65,0OO, is of equal importance with China with population of 336, 900, 900.
 Alaska's great purchasing power is natural corollary of it's enormous re- sources, mainly gold, copper, fishery products and hitherto undeveloped beds of coal and other minerals. In the period since 1867 Alaska has given to the world 25O million dollars worth of gold, 183 million dollars worth of fish, 65 million dollars worth of seal and other aquatic fur skins, 20 million dol lars worth of copper, nearly 5 million dollars worth of whale, walrus and fish oils, 2 million dollars worth of sil- yer, and whalebone, coal, gypsum,

Merry Music of Stamps in
 Tombstone First in Long Time.

Today for the first time since the T. c. M. suspended operations in Tomb stone the dropping of stamps was heard. This afternoon for severa minutes test run of the stamps and machinery was made at the Bunker Hill Company's test mill and according to report everything run smoothly. It is expected that the mill be in operation by the first of next month and work is now going on at the pumps in the Boom shaft, preparatory to the pumping of water for the mill This will be accom- plished by electricity. The Boom boil CTS have been put into shape to furnish the power, as well as those at the mill.
 The brief moment of the stamps dropping today in the test run was certainly ''music to the ear' to all Tombstonites who have interests in the Old Camp. mp.-Prospector.

marble, tin and vegetables in sufficient sums to bring her total output to more than 500, 1000, OOO$. This result has been achieved with sparse population and an inadequate system of railway and other transportation facilities. With the new era of government railway construction recently announced by the department of the interior the develop ment of Alaska will be greatly acceler- ated and that territory, which already yields as much gold as the state of California, which produces half the worlds salmon, and which includes a domain as large as our area east of the Mississippi river and an acreage for tillage several times that of those sec tions of Norway, Sweden and Russia of
