prove one of the best paying mines in the south end of the camp. A few days ago a syndicate of local mining men, representing one of the richest mines here, bought block of 25,00O Big Jim shares.
 Mineral conditions indicate that the Gold Ore mine, located in the Gold Road section of the district, will soon resume shipments of ore. Tn the upper levels of the mine an ore shoot was found and stopped to sur face that yielded considerable ton mage of high grade milling quartz which was treated at the Gold Road mill. An ore body equally as valu- able has now been opened on the 53O-foot level. The drift west of the shaft at that depth shows five feet of ore which sample as high as $100 per ton. The quartz pans gold in quantity and assays pay" To the east of the shaft the drift has not yet entered the shoot, but it is ex- pected the ore will be entered with in the next few days.
 Gold Reed Vein.
 Three and a half feet of ore carry ing high values in gold, and show ing considerable free gold, were re, gently encountered at depth of 360 feet in the incline shaft on the Gold Reed Company's property. The ore lies against the footwall and is simi- lar in character to that cut in the shaft at a depth of 60 feet, where values averaged $50 per ton. Super ntendent Moore has established a level at a depth of 375 feet with the intention of proving up the new orc body. The drive cast in the ore on the 375-foot level has a length of 21 feet and the drive west length # Is feet. Both carry conner ,ial grade quartz. Operations are, however, hampcred by very consid- orable flow of water and to offset his inconvenience pump is being installed.

COPPER CREEK TO BE
 TAPPED BY RAILROAD
(From Sundays Da1IYl

Of the many big mining move nents in this field in recent months, hat which is now assuming what s believed to be final consideration building railroad into Copper :reek district, is by far the most note worthy, and it is believed the crystal zing of plans to this end has at last been reached.
 The arrival in Prescott yesterday f H. T. Cory, the Santa Fe engi- ieer, of San Francisco, and H. A. 1eisendorfer, of Pioche, Nevada, in crested in the Bagdad Copper Com any and the former superintendent, gives healthy coloring to this rail oad situation as maturing after some ears of deliberation. Messrs. Cory nd Geisendorfer admitted they had 1cen in the field south of the Bag lad holdings on a reconnaissance of he country Both left Saturday night or the main line of the Santa Fe to make observations out of Seligman md other points to the south, pre- umably for locating route for this projected railroad.
 Immense Resources.
 Behind this expensive transporta- ion undertaking is the established mineral rating of the Bagdad hold ngs that are of incalculablc possi- hilities. This copper mining syndi cate has developed by drilling ex- oloration at hundreds of points mill ons of tons of the red metal, and this practical consideration given heir large interests an immense sum las been expended. Four years were devoted to this line of ascertainine he mineral possibilities of their do main. which includes 45 patented mines, and over 300 locations. Their country is isolated. and only wagon communication is available, the near st point being Hillside, over 25 miles listant. When railroad building was rnder consideration some time ago, Q the southwest, Bouse was men toned as an outlet, as well as Selig- nan, on the north. Copper declin- ;ng necessitated it is said, not only ! suspension of mine work, but also was abandoned the possibilities of the railroad materializing. Copper mining assuming a permanency for he future, and the unquestioned re- sources of this company being firmly md incontrovertibly proven, revives he communication movement as war ranted by absolute mineral condi- ions, practically determined.
 Untold Resources.
 Aside from the Bagdad holdings that field is attracting attention at other camps. where systematic work has been going on for several years by a score of individual mine own CTS. The railroad to the Bagdad will open the door to a broad copper region, as well will other mineral in terests be supported and become ac- tive What is said to be the biggest zinc mine in the world, is in that region, as well will the Hillside gold zone be brought in a state Of activity again, and which is shut out for no other reason than of transportation facilities. If consummated, this rail road undertaking will be the source to create what engineers state is a division of the nation with out a parallel.

FIGHTING IN SCORE OF
OTHER REGIONS

In q score Of regions there has
been fighting which would have held

Poland.

ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro. the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts Of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses Of about 100000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia In
great force about August 15 and pene-
trated to the Jadar river, where .
great hve-day battle ended in the
rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo, where on November
II the Serbians met . defeat
With their supply Of artillery am

army corps for re-enforcements

Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the serbians, and on
December s they turned on the Aus
trians and cut them to pieces.
The entry Of Turkey into the war
was marked by . brave, but foolhardy
