GREAT QUANTITIES
Of TUNGSTEN IN
THE POWERS GULCH

GLOBE, Ariz., Feb. 17.-Great
quantities of tungsten ore are being
extracted from claims in the Powers
gulch district, west of Miami, owned
Swedish miners. 1t is reported that
100000 worth of ore is now on the
dump and that the miners are taking
it out at the rate of $50 a day a
man. Though these reports may be
slightly exaggerated, it is certain that
they are realizing gratifying profits
from their operations.
Charles Dickson's zinc mine, in
Powers gulch, has been leased to
Denver investors who are already TAX
ing out ore for shipment. They plan
to ship ore which will average 40 per
cent zinc and hold the lower grade
material for concentrating. Almost
unaided, Dickson has opened an 49,
foot ledge for a distance of SO feet
He has been developing the property
for years.
Despite the stormy weather, Janu-
ary was highly profitable month for
the Iron Cap Copper company. Twen-
ty-six carloads of 10 per cent ore
were shipped to the Ell Paso smelter
and important new ore reserves were
opened. A new boiler has been in
stalled and the collar of the shaft
is being concreted. When this work
is finished the shaft will be sunk
several hundred feet deeper.
Advices from Stafford are that the
concentrator at the Grand Reef mine
is now in operation. 1t is expected
| that the plant will be running to its
full capacity within Is or 20 days
and then it will be turning out con-
centrates at the rate of 80 to 40 tons
a day.

to be the rankest poison. eighteen
men are awaiting trial in the Mohave
county Jail here. Several others are
out on bond. Many of those arrested
had the booze on their persons, and
only close inspection revealed the
fact that adulterated whiskey had
been substituted for the original con-
tents Of the bottles. which had the
appearance of having been bottled
under government supervision. In
vestigation disclosed that the bottoms
had been cut out of the bottles, the
contents removed, and the bottles
then refilled with particularly vile
concoction for the thirsty. The bot
toms of the bottles were then sealed
with an electric needle At Yucca,
ten miles south of here, there have
been numerous cases of illness, sew
eral of them serious. brought about
by the drinking of bootleg whiskey.
In number of cases it is claimed

MAR|COPA SOLONs To
SEEK REELECTION

PHOENIX, AriZ., Feb. 17.-With the
possible exception Of James G. Good
win Of Tempe, every one of the six
democrats who represented Maricopa
ond state legislature will be candi-
dates for election to the third legis-
lature. Two of the six, it is said, will
try for the senate. They are T. T..
Powers of the Creighton district and
Loren F. Vaughn Of Phoenix. Guy D.
Acuff A. G.. Austin and J. e. Nc
CLAIM are all out for reelection to
the house, although Acuff says he will
withdraw if his brother, l.. M. Acuff,
is a candidate for the Maricopa board
of supervisors.
Goodwin, the only member from
Maricopa county who was not with
the Hunt combine in the agitation
for a mine tax bill, declares he will
not be a candidate unless a large
number of his constituents request
him to run. w. D. McBrayer of the
Chandler district, may be nominated
in his place, as he is an avoWed cam

INSPIRATIONS S TEST
MILL D|SCONT|NU

MIAMI, Ariz., Feb. 17.-Operation
of the Inspiration Copper company's
600ton test mill, which has been
running since early in 1914, has been
discontinued. It was in this plant
that the feasibility of the flotation
process for the treatment of Inspira-
ton ores was first demonstrated.
Several devices now in use in the
main plant were developed there.
The principal reason for tearing
down the test mill is that it is a
wooden building located under the
trestle over which the ore passes to
the concentrator, and a fire at the
test plant might destroy the trestle.
The Scorpion shaft, through which
most of the Inspiration mine develop
ment was prosecuted, is no longer in
use. All mine operations are now
confined to the main shafts. Prior
to last August the ore treated in
the test mill was hoisted through the
Scorpion.
A contract has been let for the en-
largement Of the Iron Cap company's s
shaft from the collar to the bottom,
which is 600 feet from the surface.
When this work is completed the
shaft will be sunk 900 feet deeper.
This, it is expected, will penetrate
the big sulphide vein opened on the
14OOfoot level Of the Copper hill claim
of the Arizona Commercial, adjoin-
ing. The ore being shipped from the
Iron Cap is mined at the Williams
shaft. January shipments to the Ell
Paso smelter totaled 28 carloads.
1t is announced that the directors
Of the Iron Cap company are con-
sidering the issuance of $125,00O worth
of seven per cent first mortgage five
year bonds to call the outstanding
bonds and provide funds for the de-
velopment of the west end Of the
property. AS the Iron Cap produced
245,744 pounds of copper at a cost
of 1852 cents pound in December, it
is expected that the bonds will find
a ready market.

and the properties of the Commercial
and Iona Prieta companies. The
Commercial is shipping 100 tons of
ore daily. The Iona Prieta people
have opened body of chalcopyrite
carrying high values and will soon
begin marketing their ore.
Owing to the similarity of the ore
in the two areas before mentioned,
and to the fact that they are linked
in the manner stated, it appears prob
able commercial grade of copper
ore will ultimately be mined through
out the intervening territory. The
McNulty and Mcbride holdings offer
exceptional copper-yielding possibili-
ties. Ore is opened to depth of
200 feet, and in the aggregate, through
the medium Of shafts, wines, open
cuts and tunnels for length of
1000 feet.
Showing on the Joe Group
On the Joe group of five claims,
OWIcO NY MC4NulIy, anu dUJO1ulnS the
McNulty- Mcbride copper group, a de-
posit of -silver-lead-z zinc ore is
being developed. The ore prevails
in a spur vein of the main porphyry
belt. A tunnel has been driven on
this spur vein for length of 600
feet. In the breast it has a depth
from surface of 1876 feet. Ore is being
sacked for shipment which has a
value of $4,000 per ton in gold and
silver, exclusive Of its "copper" lead
and zinc by-product.
All of the properties before men
toned are located within twelve
miles of Prescott, and for the greater
portion of the year are accessible
via good roads. Railroad facilities
are available in Skull Valley, about
18 miles distant.

RESUME WORK At
LUCKY FIVE MINE

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 17.-Devel-
opment work has been resumed at the
Lucky Five group, in Copper Basin,
controlled by A. NJ Horton and
Stephen Lucas, of Chicago, and sew
eral local mining men. They expect
to begin production and shipping
within few weeks. The ore will
be shipped to the Hayden smelter. It
is of pyritic character and brings a
high premium for fluxing purposes.
Several shipments were made to
Hayden when copper was selling at
II cents a pound and the return was
$4316 ton. The Haford Copper
Works, of Swansea, Wales, has made
flat offer of $51 ton for all Lucky
Five ore Developed ores range from
$34 to $500 ton at the present price
of copper.
The mother lode of the Copper basin
Five estate of Is claims aggregating
800 acres. The property is well
equipped with tools and machinery
and there are good wagon roads to
Skull Valley and Kirkland, the nearest
railroad stations. Skull Valley is only
eight miles away.
Eastern investors have taken over
Ed Blocks Bill Boy NINE, on the
Hassayampa, 10 miles south of Pres
colt, and operations are to begin at
once. There are five claims in the
group and over 1000 feet of develop
ment work has been done. A large
tonnage of ore has been milled and
the gold recoveries were satisfactory.
The new operators plan to install
heavy machinery and pursue line of
energetic development at depth.
Commercial mine, in Copper basin,
to Skull Valley station, and 80 tons
of ore is going forward each day to
the Clarkdale smelter Freighting
was interrupted by the recent storms,
which made the wagon road to the
station impossible. A new road has
| been constructed on higher ground.
Ernest Glaze, representative of a
syndicate of Denver capitalists who
recently acquired group Of tungsten
claims on Tule creek, has announced
that development will be undertaken
at once and the probabilities are that
a reduction plant will be installed
soon.

BUYS MINE FOR
TENDOLLARS; BONDS
IT FOR S100,O00.00

TUCSON, Ariz, Feb. 17-Four
months after he purchased the Stump
mine from Mexican for $40 in cash
and $40 worth of assessment work,
George Daily, a local mining man, has
bonded the property for 100000 to
group of Denver capitalists. The
Stump" group, otherwise known as
the Grand Mogul, is in the Silverbell
district, and is close to the railroad.
The mine waas discovered by a
Mexican who was blasting stumps for
Daily. Under one Of them he noticed
some rather rich looking ga1ena ore.
He took the ore to Daily, offering to
sell him the mine for $40, with the
provision that he be retained to do
the assessment work for the year.
Daily agreed. The assessment work
amounted to only $40. A shaft sunk
on the property to a depth of 65 feet
showed ore for the entire distance.
Still better values were revealed by
cross cutting.
Modern machinery will be installed
and development work is to be started
as soon as possible.
