a huge mass of porphyry. which sticks its nose out of the Risbee district and under which is known to be one of the largest ore areas in the entire camp, q replica could be found on Arizona-Bisbee Copper ground. An other hill of porphyry, situated about the same distance from the Bisbee- West fault as the old Sacramento is from the Dividend fault, IS found on the Arizona-Bisbee Copper Company s ground.
 According to local officials of the company, the sinking of a develop ment shaft will be the first work un- dertaken, after the road which is now under construction is completed. The plans for the work are being sent rapidly ahead in all directions, and the people of the Bisbee district arc expecting to sec what the Copper Queen Company and the Wolverine Arizona Company have practically done, the proving of the southwestern part of the great copper camp.

Drake were appoint ed by President Haworth to act as a committee to investigate ways and means for building the road. It was suggested that this committee solicit the support of the board of supervis- ors in raising funds to make survey. Although no definite plan has yet been formulated it is believed that the only possible way of securing funds to build the road will be by bond issue.
 The committee promised to get to work immediately and be ready to re- port at the next meeting, to be held Thursday, December 18th.

IMPORTANT MOVE IS ANNOUNCED
 IN MINING
AMPLE FUNDS SUBSCRIBE ED FOR OPERATING THE

iFrom Fridays paily.)

Private advices received yesterday from L. w. Smith at Cleveland, Ohio, stated that the sphere of operations of the Ohio Mines Company, had been enlarged at a meeting held re- gently, and in addition to funds being subscribed and now in the treasury for extensive mine work to begin at once, a large reduction plant would be installed, in which it is quite prob able Notation will be a factor for the recovery of values.
 This action results from a line of preliminary development in reopen ing the old workings of the Little Jessie, which has been going on for the past four months, in which de terminations made to the 300-foot level fully warrant the outlay of addi- tional capital to prosecute work throughout that system to the depth of over 600 feet. It was Mir. Smith who figured prominently in reviving the Jessie, and before leaving for the East early in the prcsen, month he expressed himself as confident of making a heavy and successful pro- ducer of this mineral unit of the Ohio holdings.
 Three full shifts of miners are to be placed at work. All operating ar are closed, as we'll is the type of huge reduction plant decided lpon An old dump that accumulated over 20 years ago, estimated at over 10000 tons, will probably be treated for its low grade ores.

TURNER MAKES REPORT
 ON THE ARIZONA RAY
(Fiom Fridays Daily.)


 LOS ANEGLES Dec. 21.-J. K Turner ,an eminent mining engineer has just examined the properties of the Arizona Ray Copper Company at Ray. His examination was made for syndicate of California people heavily interested in the company.
 Mir. Turner is an authority in min ing circles and is very prominently known in the East He was for years associated with the Heintz interests in the mines of Butte He today rep resents the Untermayer interests of New York for the Guggenheims.
 His preliminary report as tele- graphed to the head of the syndicate in Los Angeles follows:
 "The property belonging to the Ari- zona Ray Copper Company compris- ing 170 acres, is situated exceedingly we'll in relation to the proven ore zone of the district.
 "Churr drill holes on the Ray Con- solidated and the Ray-Hercules prop critics have proven the existence of ore in close proximity 70 the west and southwest boundaries of the Arizona Ray.
 Two drills are now operating on the Arizona Ray. Drill No. l, pene- trated the experiencing formation at the 4O0-foot point. At the 420-foot depth a sample assayed LIS per cent copper and 2l cents gold.
 "The hole at this date is 40 feet deep and still continues in very en- couraging copper values.
 No. ? drill is down S4 feet at this date which is not sufficient depth to reach the mineral-bearing schist The shaft on copper zone No. 7 of the Arizona Ray, being sunk to cut the extension of the Calumet vein, is now down 75 feet, and if the present dip of the vein continues, should expose the north dipping mineralized zone within 75 feet further sinking. To in tersect the west dipping ore zone sinking will have to be continued.
 ''The geology of large section of the Arizona Ray group being identical with the geology of the producing and proven portions of the district. and the drill holes on adjoining property having exposed orc close to the boun- dary lines, warrants me in expressing the opinion that systematic drilling on this section of the Arizona Ray group will show results of equal value as those found in surrounding drill holes in the immediate vicinity"

 "Yavapai county" he said, "as an in vestment field in coppers and gold, today ranks high in New York City, for the field IS large and attractive for small capital. and there arc many op- portunities for successful mine-mak- ing. The Little Daisy and other large mines have opened the door at last to one of the most desirable fields in the which has been dormant for a generation in virgin state; you cannot keep capital out of such country as this"

BRADSHAW BOOM PREDICTED BY
 MINE OWNER
LARGE CAPITAL FOR MIN ING AND MILLING BEING EXPENDED INDICATES LIVELY TIMES.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

An arrival Tuesday from Crown King stated that 1t seemed probable that the next big mining movement would be centered to the Bradshaw field, such an outlook being based on material grounds, of which the large operations now in full swing by the Bradshaw Development Company are the foundation.
 Singling out conditions so far as this syndicate is to be considered, and without individualizing what diff ferent mine owners are accomplish ing, he mentioned the activity going on in rebuilding the old Crown King Mining Co. mill, increasing its treat ment capacity as well as undermining facilities in which Notation is to be a factor The company is also building a gravity tramway from the Wild flower camp to the site of the new mill, distant 2A miles, and which will tap the Montezuma, Del Pasco, Old Reliable, Fairview, War Eagle-Gladi- ator, Nelson, and other established mines. This line passes over the highest elevation in the Bradshaws, Del Pasco peak of over 5000 feet and takes in practically every producer in that zone of the mining field Sup porting this heavy undertaking is the Wildfower which, since being taken over by the syndicate has been re- opened and further explored, from which hundreds of thousands of tons of a good milling grade of gold ore have been fully determined. The Mon tezuma also has closed a shipping contract and the new reduction firm will dispose of its products.
 Another old copper holding, the Springfield, better known as the Luke and Gray location, also has passed in to the hands of the Bradshaw Devel- opment Company, and is now active. It is situated 10 the south of the Wild flower, but not on the tramway route. Several new buildings have been con- structed on this unit recently, and deep development is going ahead.
 Fifty mechanics are now employed in mill construction at Crown King, and all building at the old Mascotte camp are being razed and the lumber freighted to Crown King for erecting a dozen new buildings.
 In summarizing the situation the visiting mine owner said: "I now feel that the future of the Bradshaws is assured. MT. Gemmill and associ- ates of the Bradshaw Development Company, are a strong driving team, and they know, from what has been demonstrated by their special process of reduction, in successfully treating the old tailings dump of the Crown King mill that like results will accrue in handling the raw ores from that field. The country is facing an era that cannot be doubted as one of the healthiest and most prosperous in any field of the State"

 The Arizona-Bisbce Copper Com pany is directing its efforts in a busi- ness-likc manner to the point where it can start the sinking of a deep shaft to explore the lower 1imestones, known to be in that region
 Arizona-Bisbee copper ground is some of the best located in the Bis bee district, and in the opinion of many local geologists, needs only deep mining to prove its ore values.
