FRENCH GULCH PLACER PROPERTIES MAY SOON
 BE OPERATING AGAIN
Dredge Engineers Going to Prescott to Investigate the Possibilities There. Eastern Capital Interested.

PRESCOTT. Feb. 5.-From the re- ceipt of a telegram Saturday by J. K. RIulkey. stating that dredge engineers were on the road from Denver to make a final examination of French Gulch placers. it is inferred that ne- gotiations have been concluded by which this big proposition is to become active at once.
 Eastern investors are to become identified with this movement, previ- ous examination reports haping been favorable. Under a former managed ment sthis proposition had reached a stage Of installing machinery but did not permit of absolute auriferous con ditions being demonstrated, and only a large testing plan was carried out at limited depth This however. gave fIattering returns on a cubic yard has is. French Gulch for many years has been known as a drainage basin for the placer fields embraced in the pla- cerita country, and in some zones of that field the gold dust recovered, as well as rich quartz mines carrying tbe free yield, established it as an at tractive proposition for large exploita- tion.
 MT Mulkey stated Saturday that he came to Arizona from Salt Lake City sRveral months ago on this special placer proposition, which he thorough lyinyestigated, and he is accordingly pleased that definite action is amatur- ing by which it is quite probable the project will go ahead. French Gulch empties into Walnut Grove near the center, and it's area is susceptible to be advantageously handled by the dredgs method of minig..

After being inactive for about a year. the company recently employ ed it's precent force and has since been overhauling it's equipment and placing the underground workings in proper shape for the campaign of de- velopment work soon to be inaugur- ated The Frisco is one of the most widely known mines in northern Ari- zona. In addition to 74-foot vertical three-compartment shaft, apprroXi- mately 10000 feet of tunnel work has been performed. It is the plan of the management to continue the shaft down to the 3OO-foot point and cross cut to the west to the vein which has width of SO feet and averages around $7 per ton. In the working on the various tunnel levels the vein dips to the southwest on an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal while at the shawl. which is 400 feet lower than the lowest tunnel, it has an angle of S6 degrees in the same direc ton from the vertical The property has it's own reduction plant consist ing of three sets of rolls and a gyra- tory crusher for first crushing, two tube mills, two classifiers. two Dorr thickeners, six Pacucas, two 100-ton Kelly filters, 100 zinc shaving practi- oitation boxes and 15O-pound crude oil shelter The plant is capable of treating 150 tons of ore in "A hours. During a period of four years prior to the shutdown about year ago the

 Wa,Iapai Distriet.
 Developments on the new 400-foot level of the Golconda Extension mine in the Wallapai district, about 15 miles north of Kingman. have been highly gratifying of late The north, west drift from the shaft, after being extended about 50 feet. is just now penetrating the rich portion of the main ore body and conditions prevail ing warrant the prediction that on the new level greater torfhage of pay rock will be mined than marked past operations on the upper level. A sample taken from the fact of the drift a few days ago yielded an assay of If ounces gold, 9.44 ounces silver and 34.34 per cent zinc, which gives
 total value of sS994 per ton.

WAR AND SPORT.

The Great European war has had other effects on sport aside from pre- venting the continuation of interna- tionaI contests. Prices for various sports pharaphernalia are beginning to increase, due to a shortage of ma terials from which they are maEufac- tured- Ivory for billiard balls and the green cloth used in covering the billiard tables cost more today than ever before in the histor yof the game. The demand for crude rubber, due to the increased number of auto mobile tires in use and foreign war supplies, has also sent up the price of that commodity. AS a result ivory billiard and rubber bowling balls cost considerably more than they did eigh- teen months ago and dealers state that they look for higher prices in the near future.

was shipped. This is subgested by the disclosure nj the Southwest claim, con corning which General Manager L. C Shattuck reports:
 Tn the Southwest claim we have exposed continuous ore Tense more than 400 feet in length, with an aver age width of 12 feet, assaying better than per cent copper. This new orc body should eventually produce as much tonnage as we shipped from the min during the past year"
 And the foregoing strike, while the most important find of the year as To- cated in one continuous ore deposit does not begin to represent the large tonnage of new ore exposed during the year. On nearly every level from the 900 lepel up, new ore has been opened, not only of copper, but of lead. golc and silver and panadium.
 The silicious gold and silver ores have developed new importance. botl. sto tonnage and value during the year, and there has been opened UT and blocked out good .tonnages of leao ores. Good tonnages of in the vana- dium bearing territory have veen cx- posed, fn addition to the earlier report ed shoots of high grade material as saying 10 per cent vanadium. Cross cut on the 400 level is being driven to intersect the Powell fault, which, 1, has been proven, dips into Shattuc,; territory. A continuous ore bearing zone along the Contention fault, fol' 500 feet, showing irregular lenses oi good ore, has been proven. Readers are familiar with the development of high grade ores in the Shattuck from the 100 level down to 700 levels, anj now important ore developments ir sem-ioxide and sulphides on the sec and 900 levels are being made.
 Thomas Bardon, president, in hii statement, observes that it is estima ted that only about one-fourth Of the Shattuck property has thus far been prospected, and their is a large orc tonnage prospective in the virgin ter ritory Shattuck is making an env.' able record and, and physically, frori all indications, has not yet reachec the peak of it's prospective importance The Shattuck company. with good business foresight purchased, orsmado contract for, large amounts of mine supplies. before the high price whicll have prevailed for some time. were e. tablished.

A sinking pump was in stalled few days ago and a station pump will soon be placed in position on the 400-foot level to, handle the water. which should not prove a seri- GUS hindrance in future operations It is believed that the flow is merely temporary and that the volume wifi steadily decrease.

production and wealth for us, we bow to in profound gratitude"
 Shattuck mine produced no copper from January 1, 1915, until March 30, when shipment were resumed on a basis of 250 tons per day. which later, with the advancing prices of metals, were increased before the end of the year to $50 tons, which is the present basis. Shattuck is now producing on a basis of 100000 pounds of copper per month, with gold, silver and lead in addition. Shattuck production dur ing the year 1915 actually consisted of only nine months, for development work only was done for the first three months, and for a considerable period after beginning production, the ship ments were of a moderate volume. The average gross price received by Shat tuck for 1915 copper was 1S.5 cents per pound. Net cost per pound of refined copper was SAG cents. The general average price at which copper sold in the United States in 1915 was 17.3 cents
 Total Shattuck production for the year was as follows:
