refuse and waste which does not come

This refuse must be removed by the

 IN BONANZA BELT

CFrom Wednesdays DailyO
 John L. Munds, former sheriff or this county, was a visitor during the week from Oatman. After retiring from the range business not long since he entered the Oatman field as a mine operator. He is now general manager of the Carter Gold Mining Co.,, as well as the heaviest share holder thereof He stated develop ment goes ahead, and this property Is situated in the center of the gold field, and parallels the United East end, where the big strike occurred to start the boom that is growing daily. Munds says his holdings are making a good showing, while that belt IS at taining a bona idc rating from the splendid results being attained as depth is given. He is enthusiastic over the outlook of that region.

NELSON STRIKE CON-
 TINUES TO HOLD OUT
(From Thursdays Daiiy.)


 Returning Tuesday night from his Fairview camp near Crown King, Ed. Block stated that big operations were going ahead at the Nelson in prepar- ing to begin shipping of ores from the strike zone, and the property contia- ued to make wonderful showing.
 Mir. Block said: There is no dis putting the fact that the Nelson is de veloping into remarkable proposi- tion General Manager Harrington is cnergetically directing operations and has placed in action a second ma chine drill, as well has the mine force been increased. The lower tunnel where the big strike occurred, is be- ing driven ahead, and an upraise start ed to the upper tunnel, that also is being extended north. From this point winze is being sunk to con meet both tunnels, and there is an un- broken ore body in all workings From this splendid showing some idea of the immense ore bodies open ed may be formed. The lower tunnel will be used for tramming the yield to the electric railroad of the company, and thence to Crown King station for shipping over the Bradshaw Mountain railroad to market.
 Another Important movement of the company is the rebuilding of its electric line. Heavy standard steel rails are to take the place of the light rails, while an electrically operated dumping car also will be used. The ore bins and ore shoots are being built and will be large. In all the heavy outlay for first class improve ments and mine work is warranted from the splendid mineral showing in evidence, and which continues to attract scores of mining engineers who are coming into that country. The Bradshaw situation, in short IS healthy, and general upward move ment has started on basis that indi cates permanency and large invest ment in the future"

ANOTHER MINING CAMP
 FOR OLD PROPERTY
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The Maticopa Queen Oil Company of California which recently purchas- ed the old Connecticut gold mine Of Hassayampa district, which had lain idle for over a third of century, has completed the unwatering and retim- bcring of the workings, and will go ahead energetically in carrying out extensive development, was the state ment made yesterday by w. s. Will helm, the manager
 Sufficient determinations have been made in sinking to warrant heavy outlay of capital, hve-foot ore body being developed in the old shaft that averages $15 per ton in gold, while streaks exist that run to as high as S15O per ton. A new hoist is to be erected at once, and a compressor will drive drills.
 The original shaft had reached d depth of about sixty feet and will be sunk to 200 feet before drifting be- gins. The Connecticut was purchas- cd from military officer at St. Louis, who mad annually for over thirty-five years performed his title work, pay ing therefor the legal sum of S100 with regularity of clock work. He was formerly on duty at Ft. Whipple
 Mir. Wilhelm stated yesterday there is no question but what this property las an attractive showing, and is open for inspection, but is not for sale.

SITUATION CHANGES
 IN THE BRADSHAWS
(From Thursday's DaiIy.)

Arrivals from Crown King on Tues day stated that for the first time known in many years there was not an idle miner in the Bradshaw region. This unusual situation is due to many properties being active, and not talk ing into consideration the pcrfoTm- ance of annual title work, ill which there is more interest shown this year than heretofore. A dozen prop critics are operating on a small scale and as development goes ahead the different camps are placing additional men at work Another vital matter to face that country is the absence Of pack train facilities, and several prop critics ready to ship are held up until contracts are fulfilled by those engag- ed in this line of traffic. Agitation has started for wagon road building into Crown King, that freight teams may relieve the congested ore busi- ness.

FIRE HAS BURNED IN
 MINE FOR 13 YEARS
(From Tllursdayis Daiiy.) (By Prof. Chas. F. Willis)

There is a portion of the United Verde mine at Jerome, Arizona, thar has been on fire for the past thirteen years and has dehed all efforts to put it out. That portion of the mine is bulkheaded off and the rest of the property is working along as though no fire existed. The fire is visible from the surface through the smoke escaping through seams and openings.
 What is actually happening is that the sulphur is burning off from the copper ore and the chemical reaction that takes place produces heat to such an extent that all efforts to put it out have been failures. The copper that is left in this portion of the mine is actually enriched by the loss of the sulphur.
 A few years ago it was desired to get some of this high grade copper ore and a system of mining the burn ing ore was devised and is being sue cessful1y carried out. By means of bulkheads, fredoors, curtains, etc, the fire zone is segregated and air is pumped in under pressure. This not only serves to ventilate the drifts but blows or drives the fumes of the sul' phurous gases back into the ground and the air in next to the fire is not al all uncomfortable True it is hot and the rock that is being worked is so hot many times that it cannot be handled by the bare hands, but the men work in these places very satis' factorily and the ore in being extract ed with a profit.
 The United Verde is a property with one ore body, bought in the sos for $30,000, and it is rumored that $1O0,000,0OO was recently refused for the property. The ore body is mas sive, about 700 feet long by 2,000 feet wide and the depth yet to be deter lililSu. 1llSy pOooSoS l lllONNi tON' Of Clarkda1e and a model shelter. The property has paid in dividends over $37,OOO,OOO, the greater part go ing to one man, the principal stock holder, Ex-Senator w. A. Clark.
 The fact that the mine has many years more to operate is evidenced by the recent expenditures of the com pany for the improvements at Clark dale costing about $6,00000O anI doubling the capacity of their former plant Although all Arizona has q good reputation for its treatment of labor, this property has particularly enviable one, and it is believed that this fact has been largely responsible for its success.

 The tremendous range output Of over $1,0OO,0OO in three months is to the credit of the Seligman country. which places that town as loading point for shipment without parallel in Santa Fe territory.
 F. A. Reid of the Reid-C Cashion Cattle Company, who was in the city yesterday, made this statement, which was based on absolute records kept of the movement of sheep and cattle out Of that section during the above period. A total of 600 cars were used and the livestock went to California and Colorado buyers principally.
 The interesting feature of this big movement was that the shipping sea son was supposed to be far advanced and late summer transactions were regarded as quite improbable to any extent The excellent condition of the animals proved an incentive to buy, and which is given as the reason for these heavy deals to be closed at so late a date Mir. Reid also stated yesterday that .thrce or four more shipments are to follow The highest prices ever known prevailed, and the range supply could not meet the heavy demand of buyers.

 The shocking news was received from Mayer last night that Robert Henderson was a suicide, shooting himself through the head with g. calibre pistol at about 6:30 o'clock and death taking place half an hour later.
 The deed was committed at his home and while his wife was in the yard. Ihe reasnn sttsi,s,,.ss i;. s1ilz; self-destruction was continued ill- health He gave no intimation what ever of his intentions and left nothing to show he premeditated destruction.
 With his Tother-in-1aw, Frank Wilson. a former deputy sheriff of this county, under Sheriff Keeler, both went to Mayer last March and engag- cd in the pool room business, and short time afterward Henderson sub mitted to an operation for appendi- citis. Relief was slow and he contin- ucd in poor health. He returned only few days ago from California where he had spent five or six weeks irt search of health.
 Henderson had resided in this coun- ty for many years, his home being on Lynx creek, where he followed live stock raising and engaged in mining. He was aged 34 years, and enjoyed splendid name in all business deal ings as well was his personality pleas ing. He had many friends who will regret to learn of his tragic death. Judge Wheeler of Mayer conducted ar inquest, and the verdict of the cor oner's jury was in accordance with the above facts.

BAUMANN MAKES
 INITIAL MOVE TO RESUME
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Before leaving for St. Paul, Minn., yesterday, Jules Baumann, president of the Baumann Mines Company, stat ed the first move toward resuming operations was the building of new wagon road of about one mile in length to the point selected where the main camp is to be established. A small force of miners has been placed at work on one of the locations where development was given several years ago, and shipping made to the smelter.
 Mr. Baumann goes to the above city to consult with stockholders, on final matters pertaining to carrying out q large line of exploration, and after his return the mine force is to be ma terially increased and deep develop ment inaugurated at different points on the group. The new road is ex- pected to be ready inside of thirty days, as well will all preliminary work be finished by that time The Bau- mann holdings are situated a few miles east of Humboldt, the Big Ledge adjoining it on the west.

 Arrivals yesterday from Groom creek stated that the reviving of the old Home Run mine by T. J. Laird and A. A. Johns was being attended with success, and the ore dump ac- cumulating indicated a productive property of a high grade gold ore.
 Mir. Laird stated the shipping grade would run to $70 per ton, from the tcn-inch vein, while streaks went as high as $l1O per ton. Shipping is to start at once.
 Where development was selected to be performed, by these owners, was north of the old workings and across the creek, which zone had never been explored by former oper- ators. The old workings had reached a depth of 400 feet, from which ship ping was given years ago, as well was a mill erected. The company col lapsed after the death of one of the original owners, and the group laid unclaimed until recently when Laird & Johns made an examination and started limited exploration. They now propose to go ahead and will begin shipping about ten tons at once. The mill was removed from the prop erty several years ago and was never used on Home Run ores
