The Ray Hercules Copper company's main shaft and the auxiliary shaft. both sunk, l6OO feet apart, in portions or ground believed to be outside the zone Of commercial ore, have recently run into patches of copper ground. AL though 1t Is not anticipated that the pay ore will be found to extend as far as these shafts. surprise might be in store, particularly as regards the smaller shaft which is only 500 feet distant from the main ore body. This auxiliary shaft for depth of 1T feet has passed through 19 per cent ore from the 225 to PIP feet depth Wheth- CT this coper is oxide or sulpnide is not stated. Patches of native copper ground were passed through in sink ing the main shaft

The Troy Arizona Copper company is negotiating for terminal facilities at Erman Station, on the Arizona East ern railroad, instead of at Ray Junc- tlon- two miles farther down the rail- road. Erman is only nine miles from the Ray Junction. The Erman route would also cut off nearly two miles from the six-mile motor truck haul from Troy to the railroad. There is a chance that the first shipments from the Rattler group may go forward be- Tore the end of January, although regular shipments are not expected till February.

Copper company. This ore carries some fair gold values and assays as high as 16 per cent copper. It is un- derstood that a party of prominent California investors will visit this property within the next two weeks.
 T. J. Carrigan. representing Los An geles and Pasadena capital was in Parker all this week, and reports that the Consolidated Copper company, which has extensive holdings just west of the Revenue will soon begin active operations.
 A. B. Jones. president of the Argus, and heavily interested in the Planet mine, has just returned from trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles on business connected with his proper ties. The lessees of the Planet have shipped over $S00,000 of high grade gold and copper ore during the last eighteen months.
 B. L. Vaughn of San Diego, presi- dent of the Arizona McGinnis was in Parker this week and reports that the Arizona McGinnis has fifteen men working and will ship several carloads of ore within the next few days.
 The Clara Consolidated is getting out several cars of ore a day and vast amount of high grade is in sight. Shipping at the rate of S60 900 per month it is stated there is enough ore blocked above the 400-foot level to last for the next quarter century. The greater part of the property is as yet practically undeveloped.
 There is a persistent rumor that the Swansea smelter will soon be in oper- ation.
 The Mohawk Consolidated, which recently took over the Emerald and Tyrone group under lease and bond, has started operations. There is a 100- foot shaft on the property and 300 feet of cross cutting has been accomplished. The company is installing q matte plant
 To date the production of the Billy Mack is about S300,000. Harry Higin- botham of Chicago. and his associates are putting in a 75ton concentrating plant to handle the ores. Several car loads have been shipped averaging be- tween s2000 and 5000 per car.
 Finances for the power plant for Parker are being secured and it is probable that construction will begin shortly. The plant will be a boon to the district as it will supply a large territory. Pending the development of hydraulic energy from the Colorado river, the power plant will use oil burning engines.
 Prominent mining men of the dis triCt have pledged support to the Parker Bureau of Mines which was recently organized with view to sup plying authentic information about the minerals and activities in this dis trict. The bureau is well under way and has already instituted a publicity campaign.

The LeqisIature and Bureau of Mines

ne Legislature ana Bureau or Mines
 Though it will be after the holidays before the incoming legislature of the state of Arizona convenes in session, the members of that body might go farther and do worse than make Christmas present to the Arizona State Bureau of Mines which has it's headquarters at Tucson, and which is operated in connection with the Uni versity of Arizona. This is the or ganization of which Prof Charles F. Willis is the director, A. NJ. Heckman, secretary. and George k. Fansett, en- sineer. As We understand it, the ap- propriation for this bureau at the present time amounts to only S5000 This is a mere drop in the bucket when compared with the amount that is paid by the mining industry in the form of taxes. If is little better than a drop in an ocean when compared with the mineral resources of the state mineral resources which should be fostered in many ways. Compare this with the cost of the Bureau of Mines of the United States or similar depart ments in some of the other states, and the comparison becomes positively absurd. And one of the wonders is not that the Arizona Bureau of Mines has accomplished so little. but rather that it has accomplished so much un- der the circumstances.
 It is the irony of fate that the men who do the real work in connection with the development of a state are mo- toriously underpaid. But now that the University of Arizona is to have n new mining building (paid for not by the state but by the big mining com panies) 1t does seem to us that the people of Arizona ought to have gumption enough to see to it that in connection with this new building, Prof. Willis and his associates of the State Bureau of Mines should be given money enough and the tools for the important work that lies before them Not to do this is not even penny wise and pound foolish. It is far worse than that. It is to save a penny and lose a thousand dollars For we have no doubt but what that annual ap- propration of s50O0 (small though it may bel has already added many mil lions to the resources of the state."- Miami Silver Belt, Dec. 20, 1916.

Development work will continue on the easterly end of the Tom Reed prop critics and an immense body of good ore has been opened through the Aztec shaft at a depth of 800 feet. What re- lation the vein bears to the Big Jim has not been established but in di- mensions and structure it bears a strong resemblance, both veins having an average width of thirty feet. The Aztec ore shoot is said to average SEQ to $50 for a considerable distance in one of the drifts. E. NJ. Rabb, super intendent of the Tom Reed mine, is busy placing orders for new unit to the mill, which will increase the ca pacity from l75 to $50 tons per day. He expects to have this unit finished and in operation by July 1, next, in spite of the difficulty in getting ma chinery.

Among the numerous prospective mines of Oatman which are being de- veloped interest just now centers on the Crescent. Nellie and Adams in the Black Range section. and the Ivanhoe. which lies between the Times mine and the Grown City property of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, all of which have reached interesting points in their underground workings.

The Nellie mine has entered the vein in the shaft at 37' feet and purposes to continue sinking. passing through the vein and to the 300 level where cross cut vii be driven to cut the vein again. On the 300 level considerable drift ing was done and some good ore en- countered but it was not uniform. It is the belief that a depth of 800 feet will disclose body of good ore. It is the plan of development to drive a shaft to the east, where three veins appear to form junction.

Our friends at Oatman make a mis- take in comparing their rich and pros porous little district with the Rand, or with the Mother Lode. as we note is done by MT. C. F. Spilman, who has taken charge of the publicity depart ment of the Oatman Bureau of Mines. The Rand goldfield is mined continu- ously for length of forty miles and produces over s1S0.OO0,0OO per annum. The Mother Lode is worked along a length of 100 miles and produces $6.- 5OO,000 per annum. Oatman is good enough; no benefit can come from comparisons that are essentially ex- aggerations.-Sci Press.

Custom, Smelters

Owing to the lavish production of copper ore at this time most of the larger smelters are unable to accept small lots of custom ore for treatment. This works a hardship on the owners of little mines that can supply linn tied tonnage of relatively high grade ore. There are many small mines that can produce a considerable ton

The No. shaft of three compartments has been fitted with ore pockets on the 4th. 9th and 9th levels, an electric flash light system installed and elec- tric lights strung along the crosscuts which connect with the vein. This underground work having been fin ished and everything put in readiness for stopng ore, shaft sinking has been resumed in No. shaft, which is down SO feet below the 65 level According to the dip of the vein on the levels above the shaft should cut the hang

The vein is twenty five to fifty feet in width, and with the exception of an occasional horse" of country rock, is solid ore throughout. Some very rich ore has been encountered in the drifts and crosscuts, and the vein on the 400 level averaged $22.93 across twenty-five feet. The mill will have a capacity of 200 tons per day and is expected to make an extraction of 97 per cent at cost of less than $2 per ton.
