LAND IS TO Be FILLED
DRAIN FOR THE ROAD
Petition From the Farmers On
Eagle Lake Highway to
County Board
From Thursdays Daily.

- 6dttSs
Farm ars living on the Eagle Lake
road have started project to have
the land in that vicinity tiled out,
and a petition is now being cir
culated asking the county board to
take the necessary steps to have a
drainage system put in, from the city
limits to the Dancer farm. All of the
territory covered by the petition is
very fiat, and practically under water
now and too wet to be tiled. 1t is
proposed to drain the land into the
ravine to the north. 1t is hoped that
the farmers will all sign the petition
as it seems about the only hope for
the Eagle Lake road, and will add
value to the farms.
George NJ. Palmer, chairman of the
Commercial club good roads commit
tee, who has the supervision of the
Eagle Lake road for the committee,
has received many complaints about
the road. 1t is not possible to put
the road into good condition under
the present circumstances. Last year
the road froze while water soaked
and since spring the heavy rains
have added to its poor condition.
Money spent for repairs on the road
this side of Eagle LAKE Is largely
thrown away, and it is useless I'M
der the present conditions to spend
more. The only hope is to wait until
the water drains away, when some
work may be done. If the drainage
project goes through it will mean
that the road will be permanently
improved, and will be as good as
any leading into Mankato. The farm
ers are at last beginning to realize
the benefit of drainage, and it is
hoped that the project will be car
ried out this summer and the road
put into good condition.

ZINC IS COMING ID FRONT IN
 ARIZONA
FAITH OF PEOPLE HELPS PRESENT DEVELOPMENT OF MINING PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT STATE.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The faith of Arizona people in Ari zona mining is shown by the intense excitement in stock quotation reports in almost every mining city in the State. The first thing the miners and shelter men do when they get of shift IS to hurry away to learn the latest fluctuations in the stock mar ket. for they have their money invest ed there. Fortunate is the office clerk who can steal away for a few minutes now and then to obtain the latest quotation and compute his earn ings.
 Since the magical boom that sent the price of copper skyward, there has been an intense rush in the de velopment of properties and the min CTS of Arizona have been putting their savings into Arizona stocks Nothing speaks better for the perman- ent prosperity of the State than the absolute faith of Arizona miners in Arizona mining.
 Because of the fact that tEe greatest zinc smelling centers of the world outside of the United States are To- cated in the war zone of Europe, the effect of the war on the spelter mar ket has been most pronounced. The European smelters have either been forced to suspend operations. of, il able to operate. their product has not been able to reach the outside world Owing to this, both the zinc smelting and the zinc mining industries of the United States have enjoyed a year of unparalleled prosperity in 1915 According to the latest information, the recoverable zinc content of zinc ores mined in the United States in 1915 was over 56O000 short tons. com pared with 407, 900 tons in 1914 and 4lS,0O0 tons in 1913. With a contin- uance of high prices of spelter dur ing 1916. the output will be greatly augmented, for the very high prices did not begin until April and May and it was naturally some time be- fore additional zinc mining could get under way.
 The mining of zinc has become of premier importance in the State of Arizona. With zinc blende running 60 per cent bringing as high as S1lo. 50 per ton. and with the average selling price of all grades of zinc ores run ming Sl07.52 per ton, zinc is of real importance. Many of the ores Of zinc are easily identified. and smith sonite. for instance, ii often passed by. although pure mineral contains 52 per cent zinc Arizona has had. and will have. considerable import ance as producer of zinc. and is en- titled to still more importance
 Information relative to zinc in Ari- zona may be had by obtaining Bulle- tin No. 20 of the State Bureau of Mines. by P. F. Joseph. which may be had by writing Charles F. Willis, Director. Arizona State Bureau or Mines. Tucson. Arizona.

ASTOUNDING IS MAGNITUDE OF
 LITTLE DAISY
PROSECUTING AT DEEP EST POINT ENDS WITH
 OVER 200 FEET OF ORE,
 AVERAGING 15 PER CENT
(From Tuesdays Oaily.)

Returning to Douglas on Saturday afternoon, after concluding several days of an inspection of the Little Daisy at Jerome, President James s. Douglas said there had been no ma terial change in ore condition from that formerly determined, with the exception, however, that cross-cut- ting on the l,400-foot level had come to an end, and that the ore tody open ed up was fully 200 feet :n width. This development will end for the present operations in that zone. A wonderful property is now establish cd It is an immense copper propo- sition," he said.
 Mir. Douglas on this trip was ac- companied by the company's consult ing engineer, F. A. Provo, of Bisbee, wno, likewise was free to substantiate the satisfactory showing or develop ment. Mir. Douglas also stated that the matter of considering plans for a smelling plant will be deferred for the present.
 In connection with absolute condi- tions existing underground in the Little Daisy. the Mining and Engin- ecring Journal recently published a synopsis of the report submitted by Walter T. Osborn, the company en- gineer. At the time Mir. Osborn made his examinations, few weeks ago. he said:
 "Crosscuts have been run at inter vals of 50 feet, and so far nave prov cd the orc body to have an average width of about 150 feet without, now ever. having encountered the cast wall of the ore in the southernmost cross cuts. Of the two raises one is now up 70 feet and is still in orc. A winzc in the ore body to go to depth of 200 feet has been started.
 "There is now developed body of copper ore of an average width of l5U feet, the longitudinal extent of the orc is still unknown. but it exceeds 275 feet The ore body is massive siliceous chalcopyrite, enriched with chalcocite, and will average through the entire body about Is per cent cop per. 1H ounces in silver and Sl in gold per ton. This orc body is now suffi- ciently developed to give the United Verde Extension mine the promise of being a producer of great wealth. It is still being developed in a care ful and consecutive manner, and only the future can tell what tn? extent of the orc body will really be. especially in depth. From development work, ore containing about 100000 pounds of copper was shipped, in two grades, of Is per cent and 30 per cent. re- spectively. to the Copper Queen Con solidated Mining Company's smelte: works during the month of March. and this production will probably be increased"

BAUMAN MINES ID RESUME AT
 EARLY DATE
A R R A N G EMENTS BEING PERFECTED BY WHICH BIG COPPERS WILL SOON BE ACTIVE.
(From Sundays daily.)

Word mas been received from Jules Baumann in the East, that the out look for the Baumann Mines Company to become active at an early date, is encouraging. During the panic of 1907 operations were suspended, and only annual assessment work has been per formed since that time. The first move toward resuming is now under headway, in having the load grade changed and rebuilt that leads from Humboldt to Camp Baumann, in the center of the group, in order that costly repairs may in the future be avoided and transportation in and out be carried on regularly. Few copper properties in this field are better known than the Baumann.
 The history of the property dates back to the sos and it first attracted attention of mining men when the late John Lawler made a shipment from his Lawrence mine, (now the Alice. of the Baumann Co.), that returned ll2 ounces in silver, S2.70 ;n gold and g per cent in copper to the ton. The shipment went to Pueblo, Colo, via Murray's OK team to Prescott, mule freight teams to Ash Fork, and thence over the old Atlantic & Pacific rail road to the above shelter works, the total charges for transportation and smelling reaching to S54 per ton.
 Later shipments were made from the Alice and five other claims of the group, giving handsome returns. It is a matter of qualification to know that the Baumann Mines Company. like many other propositions that date back to an early date in first being operated, is again to become active.

O[D STAGE ROAD WILL RESTORE
 COMMERCE
TIPTOP MINING PEOPLE PLEASED WITH REOPEN ING OF BLACK CANYON ROUTE TO TRAFFIC.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

C. w. Davis, identified with mining in Tiptop district, while in the city recently, stated that the reopening of the old Black canyon stage road, was a move that was meeting with ap- proval and would greatly benefit Pres colt in a commercial sense.
 Davis said: Nearly every mine in that section in an active state, has some one interested who is from Prescott, and 1t is but natural there fore, that this city will receive the bulk of the business. Another poten; matter is that the distance from Tip top to Turkey station on the Brad shaw railroad is but B miles, and with a cutoff now under consideration, four miles less than the above can be mad. The road can be repaired as speed way for the auto, also, so you can realize what an advantage the old route will be to that thrifty country that is returning to its own through tungsten mining after so long an idle ness. This road movement is whole somely endorsed, and by it other To- calities to be affected will restore commercial conditions as they pre- vailed so many years ago"

Rushing Road Work
 To Mining Camp
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Mike Mcbride, interested with C. j.
 McNulty on Copper creek, Hassay'
 ampa district, returned to San Diego last week, after shaping up material matters by which these holdings are soon to become among the active shippers of copper ores. He stated
 that the first move toward resuming was in building new wagon road from the saddle of Copper Basin to the main camp. and work was now under heaIway. and would be com pleted in about six weeks. Freight ing out of orc then starts after com munication IS opened, to be main tained steadily, at the rate of about 50 tons per day. An increase in the mine force has been made recently and ton mage ready for developing is sufficient to maintain shipping for months to come. This movement brings into prominence another copper field south of the Commercial. the section that is attracting more interest at the present time than any other in this county, with the possible exception of the Jerome belt.
