BIC CAPITALISTS BUY
HACKBERRY MINE
Tom Reed and United Eastern Merger
Report Premature-Latter Com
pany Pushes Work on
New Plant.

KINGMAN,, Ariz., f1eb. 3.-Philip
Wiseman and Seeley w. Mudd, two Of
the best known mining men in the
United States and already heavily in
terested in Oatman, are now the own
ers of the old blackberry mine. 1t has
been purchased for them by L. w.
Wicks from w. B. Ridenour, the former
owner. Ridenour discovered the Hack
berry in the 70s and developed large
ore bodies that yielded much bullion.
For several years it has not been oper-
ated and the workings are now filled
with water
Wicks is to be superintendent of the
blackberry under the new ownership.
The work of unwatering the workings
will be undertaken at once. 1t is ex-
pected that before long the old mill
erected by Ridenour and associates will
be replaced with modern plant.
Charles S. Sprague, who is to repre-
sent George Wingfield, the Nevada
mining millionaire has bought the Mer-
ritt group of claims in the north part
of the Tom Reed section. A large in
itial payment has already been made.
The Merritt is regarded as one of the
most promising undeveloped properties
in the Oatman section.
Report of a merger of the Tom Reed
and United Eastern companies, widely
circulated about a month ago, were
premature. Officials of the two COM
talked of but the deal has been defin-
itely dropped. It is possible that the
negotiations delayed the installation of
the United Eastern mill. Now, how
ever, the United Eastern people are
pushing the erection of their plant with
all possible vigor. 1t is to have an in
itial capacity Of 200 tons day. but will
be so constructed that additions can
easily be made.
Three shifts of miners are employed
in sinking the main shaft of the Copper
Giant mine, east of blackberry, which
is owned by the United Verde Copper
company. Progress is being made at
the rate of five feet a day. The shaft
was down $50 feet when the company
decided to sink it to the 900-foot point.
At that level the ore body which shows
so strong and rich at $50 feet will be
systematically developed. The ore at
the 550-foot level shows an average
width of 20 feet; it averages four per
cent copper and runs $40 ton in gold
and silver. For five months, prior to
the resumption of sinking, $50 tons a
day were shipped to the Clarkdale
smelter. The United Verde expects to
erect a concentrator at the Copper
Giant soon.

May Erect Mill for
The Churunibabi Mine

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Feb. 3.-A cyanid-
ing plant for the treatment of low grade
ores of the Churunibabi mine and ad
joining properties owned by the Moe
tezuma Copper company, may be con-
structed within a few months, accord
ing to a report received here. The
management of the company, it is said,
is regarding the proposition favorably.
The Churunibabi is one of the famous
Antigua mines Of Sonora, having been
worked under primitive methods by the
padres in early days. It was not until
Norman Hand secured lease on the
property from the Moctezuma Copper
company that the present rich strike
was made. It is reported that large
tonnage is in sight to guarantee the

BODY Of S1700 ORE IS
DEVELOPED ON TOM REED

OATMAN, AriZ., Feb. "a large
body of ore, samples from which run
over $17OO per ton gold, has been
opened up on the 300 level of the Tom
Reed mine. The vein, which has been
opened in the level west, has hardly
been touched, and it is the intention of
the company to carry developments
to a conclusion along the level and
through other sections of the property.
The Tom Reed mine has already
produced millions of dollars, and in
prospective it has opened to view mil
lions more in the United Eastern and
Big Jim. A number of development
companies have now located on the
outcrop of the Tom Reed lode, and it
is confidently expected that they will
open big shoots of ore. Among the
companies developing properties on the
Tom Reed outcrop are the United
Western, Merry Widow, Oatman Com
bination, Argo, Telluride and others.

that at least twice the amount of wa

president of the university, on his re-
turn from a recent trip to New York
and other eastern cities, during which
he obtained subscriptions amounting
to 100000 for the new buildingA
Following the appropriation of $75,-
900 for mining building by the state
legislature, DR.. Won KleinSmid started
out to raise the largest part of the sum
needed to assure the erection here of
a modern building. In all cases. he de-
clares, he found the aiming companies
most generous in contributions, and
while few made their contributions
contingent on others pelng secured, in
most cases there were no strings to the
gifts. The Inspiration Consolidated
Copper company of Miami refused to
base their contribution on their pro-
duction for the past year, declaring
that they could take out from one hun
dred to one hundred and twenty mil
lion pounds of copper in year, and
that they would prefer to contribute
on the larger basis. President Won
KleinSmid was largely assisted in nis
work by DR.. l.. D. Ricketts, of New
York and Warren.
