HOFFMAN ANGORA GOAT

Henry Z. Hoffman and A. A. Hoff-

Hoffman of Park Center, have a herd
of 400 Angora goats that are getting

country because IL is the launching
of a new industry that promises much
profit.
Just the other day the Hoffman
boys got in six thorobred registered
bucks OF Angora blood and they will
use them for breeding purposes.
The revenue from the goats are
'erived from tie hair. which sells on
the market now at 81 cents a pound

COLORADO MINE OPER-
 ATORS IN THIS FIELD
(From Wednesdays Daily. ]

Announcement was made yesterday of the closing of another important deal for coppers, George L. Reed, of Denver, and party of prominently known Colorado mining men taking over the White Buck group of mines, and placing J. NJ. Pickett, their con sulting engineer, in charge.
 The property embraces 2l claims and is owned by the estate of Rober, Brow, deceased. Preliminary to de- velopment starting at point to be selected later, system of prospecting is going ahead with a force of six miners, and yesterday an increase was made, several leaving the city for the new camp, situated northwest of Cop per Basin about two miles.
 The new syndicate is to operate on a close basis, it was stated by those and before large develop ment begins, the entire holdings will be submitted to a thorough line of practical testing. New camp buildings are to be erected at once, and it is also quite possible churn drill explo- ration may be decided upon. From

WICKENBURG TO BE
 REDUCTION CENTER
(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

NcQnCSQdY I.J
 The first unit of what is to be a general ore reduction plant to treat over 100 tons per day, is nearing com oletion at Wickenburg. and the samp- ling addition starts in action this week, is the information given by ar rivals from that place.
 Flotation, concentrating and cyan iding works are to be constructed at once. The cost of the plant is over S25,OO0, the funds for which were sub scribed by business men and mine owners.
 This move relieves desirable min eral country from facing long and expensive haul to remote markets, and with the custom principle observed in operation, based on community purpose, the welfare of the mine own CT is strengthened and his interests are safeguarded. The number of mines to be affected will add materi- ally to attracting capital to new in- vestments in promoting development and production. This move is all ready having an excellent effect, and a new mineral subdivision of this county, of splendid possibilities, is an- ticipatcd.

James Roach, whose death occur red at Hooper early in the week, was buried yesterday afternoon from Ruffner's mortuary parlors, a very large number of pioneer residents be- ing in attendance.
 The deceased arrived in this coun- ty in 1868, and for the past P years had made his home at Hooper, having mining interests in that field, as we'll was he postmaster until the office was abolished. MT. Roach's early life was noteworthy in army circles. During the Civil war he served from May Y, 1861. to July IS, 1865, with a New York command, being mustered out as a sergeant of artillery. He was of fered commissioned rank in the regular army, but declined, saying: "I went in to fight, stayed to the fin ish, and now that the trouble is over, I am through" He was kind heart ed but resolutc man, and during his many years in Yavapai his business dealings were upright with all.

LARGE OPERATIONS

Wilhelm, of the New State gold group, stated that his com. pany had closed arrangements for be- ginning not only extensive deep sink. ing from the tunnel level, but that an all-Winter plan of operating had been decided upon. A new hoist, air con- pressor and other machinery are en route and will be installed immedi- ately, as we'll will surface improve ments be made.
 Mir. Wilhelm expressed himself as follows over the property: "We all are confident of establishing a desir- able gold property, and the deep work decided upon is the outcome of the strike made a few months ago; the shoot will be followed to depth on vertical sinking, and if conditions terminate favorably, as present indi- cations seem likely, we will move ahead with big reduction plant The ore from the work to follow will be piled up on the dump; all our outly- ing holdings are to suspend, and our efforts will be centralized to the New State, which has the ore of high grade to start on."

An enlarged plan of has accordingly been de- cided upon. and it is expected that in side of 30 days a force of fully 3U miners will be al work.

A resolution to appoint a committee
 of three to devise ways and means
 for building a shorter road between
 Prescott and Jerome, was passed at
 meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night. County Supervisor Harry
 Heap, who has just returned from Je- rome, said that citizens of that town were very desirous of having the road constructed. Engineers of the Unit ed Verde Extension Mining Company believe a road can be built from Je- rome to Prescott which would place the two cities within ? miles of each other.
 November proved the record month for the Chamber of Commerce in the bringing in of new locators and those desiring to make a change for the benefit of climate. Six families were induced to cast their lot in Yavapai county coming from Washington, D. C.; San Diego, Cal; Montclair. N. J.; Socorro, N. M.; Westlake, Ore, and even as far away as China.

FAMOUS SILVER BELT FORGING
 ID THE FRONT
BIG COAST MINING MAN INSPECTS PROPERTY; EXPRESSES HIMSELF AS WELL PLEASED.
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 My two days of observation of the holdings of the Silver Belt Consoli- dated have proven a surprise in ore content in place, and while I am dis inclined at this time to deviate from a principle established in mine en- gineering circles to give public ex- pression to a general mine situation, can with professional courtesy say, however, that this proposition has a merited consideration, as we'll do l heartily and candidly endorse the character of work going on as prac- tical and economical" was the man. ner in which John Faubel, a we'll known coast engineer and operator expressed himself yesterday as he was returning to San Francisco.
 Mir Faubel came to make an inves- tigation of the property, which is SO familiarly and favorably known to pioneer mining men, for its fabulous values in silver when 1t was active many years ago. It was revived only last September when a new organiza- ton was effected, which is operating earnestly and methodically. Deter minations in a new shaft sunk to 30 feet in depth during the past six weeks show the manner of active min- ing which prevails, as we'll does the rapid progress made. in. reaching depth clearly reflect the. practical. also. The recent official action taken by which w. E. Paige was elected president and general manager of the company together with the trans ferring of the main office from Los Angeles to Prescott, is a significant move from which permanency and large operations are assured. The mine showing, as Mir. Faubel inti- mates, is attractive and borne out by what is today in evidence, and aside from those interested, miners from that field openly speak in commend able terms of desirable property as coming in again.
 Another matter of importance to affect the future of this holding is that Mir. Faubel, who is one of the largest and most successful mine op- orators of the coast, will in all prob- ability become interested in the Silver Belt, intimating yesterday that such action will be likely. He commends the ability of Mr. Paige and is pleas cd with the property.
 Another large shareholder accom- panying Mir Faubel to the mine was J. B. Dudley, of San Francisco, and he likewise, was enthusiastic over what had been accomplished since his last visit of about one month ago He left for home yesterday, to return carly in January, stating that the Sil- yer Belt situation is assuming an in .eresting stage at this particular time.
 The Silver Belt resuming after for nearly a third of a century, is but another parallel case the early-day mines are be- ng so eagerly sought by capital, and behind the many of that class now lctive and producing is due the pres mt wave of investment which is SO pronounced in all sections where any character of mineral abounds.
