HEAVY PRODUCT COMING FROM
 NEW PLANT
ORE WORKS AT CROWN KING MAKE VERY CRED TABLE CONCENTRATE SHOWING.

A stockholder of the Randolph Gemmill Development Co.,, which ac- quired the dump of the old Grown King mill, and installed special pro- cess to treat the tailings dump, esti- mated to contain 10000 tons, impartcd the important information yesterday that the plant is now turning out from that source of supply, two grades of a concentrate product that will run close to 750,O00 pounds per montf.
 This output is of two classes, a zinc and an iron, the latter carrying gold values. and is marketed at the Humboldt shelter The zinc goes to lola. Kans. Aside from the success being made in treating this tailings dump, the principle of recovery 4p- piled, has revolutionized reduction IS well as mining in the Bradshaws, where all mineral products had baffled mineralogists to successfully handle up 10 the time the works were intro duced. through a complex content that proved obstinate for standard methods of treatment to satisfactorily solve. The problem of mineral re- duction for that field having been solved. mining has been regeneratcd and several big deals are ready to close.

TUNGSTEN KING INSTALLING
 OWN MILL
FIRST REDUCTION PLANT
 TO TREAT TUNGSTEN ORES IN TULE CREEK WILL SOON BE RUNNING.

The first reduction plant to be in- troduced in the Tule creek belt of Tip Top district, is now being erect ed on the holdings of the Tungsten King Mining Company, of which N. H. Getchell is president and general manager He stated yesterday that the machinery is being freighted from Hot Springs Junction and will be as sembled and in action inside of 3 days. It will have capacity of treat ing 20 tons per day, producing con: centrate.
 This close syndicate acquired the Davis group of tungsten mines, and has been developing for over month with force of six miners, results being so gratifying that a mill is warranted. Mir. Getchell also stated it is quite probable custom work will be received. In reviewing tungsten doings in that field for the past three months ne said:
 There is well directed movement III llldI uNlu WHICH NOulu ululCdlc III a short time some very important do ings in tungsten. There are many new properties being taken up, ard practical miners are solving the de veloping problem. To my own knowl- edge two men have made better than SlO per day each, since working a stringer vein. and they are opening up what appears to a desirable prop crty. The Tule creek and other nearby fields are attracting very many people, and the vanguard. as usual is the sturdy prospector. who steps i1 at the beginning and later retires after selling his interests. Some big concerns are preparing to enter the country, ii reports are credible. The famed silver belt of Yavapai is being regenerated by tungsten coming to the front so suddenly as one of the preferred metals of the day. The country has very hattering outlook at any rate"

COPPER STRIKE IN BLUE BELL
 IS HUGE
ORE BODY OF 26 FEET DE- TERMINED ON 1,000-FOOT LEVEL, THE DEEPEST DEVELOPMENT.

An official of the Consolidated Ari- zona Smelting Company, which owns and is operating the Blue Bell cop per mines, situated near Mayer, made the statement a few days ago, tha. development on the l,O0O-foot level had exposed 26-foot copper ore body that would average in value fully I per cent.
 This determination" he said ''is conclusive, and is especially pleasing for the important reason that this huge body of ore was determined at the deepest working point. an essen tially important matter from whicn may be accurately judged what i'm mense mineral resources are behind the property. l do not wish to classi- fy this discovery, made only few days ago, as a strike. It is a clean cut demonstration of practical de- velopment and was no surprise. The Blue Bell. 1 am pleased to state, is bigger and better today than at any time in its history. and from this ie termination IS able to take its place in line with other big coppers, and has certainly a very attractive out look. I will also state that the De Soto holding of the company in the Bradshaws are making a strong pro ductive record. and new development would indicate another fine property as nearing the copper goal"
 The Humboldt shelter. this autho-- ity stated, is treating 600 tons per day. and with both mines actively pro ducing the affairs of the Consolidated are in a decidedly healthy condition.

ALL VALUES IN ORE SAVEDAND
 PAID FOR
LOS ANGELES FIRM HAS NEW PROCESS; NO PEN ALTIES ARE ENACTED FROM PRODUCERS.

One of the greatest of Arizona ; problems has been the economical separation of complex ores. Many mines have been found in which cop per is the chief constituent. but had impurities present, such as zinc,
 tungsten, molybdenum, vanadiurn, chromium and antimony; in such cases the sellers have not been paid for the values in these metals, but were actually penalized.
 l. will be of much interest to the owners of properties containing com plex ores to learn that new process has been discovered and a plant now being erected in Los Angeles which will allow payment for practically all of the values in an ore, and which will take ore with lower percentages of metals than have heretofore been accepted. Heretofore. molybdcnum had to be concentrated to large per ce1tage, and if copper was present, molybdenite was not as readily solu. But according to the reports of the promoters of this new process. low grade molybdenum ores may be handled and the copper also paid for. The same applies to zinc and very particularly to vanadium. which is sei- dom saleable on account Of its i'm purities of other metals.
 The new process does not penalize for sulphur. arsenic. silicatc barytos CT bismuth IL is claimed that the complex lcad-copper-zinc-antimony silver ores from Inyo and Mono coun- ties, California, and the complex t:1 sulphides from Bolivia. which have heretofore been only valuable for the copper contained. nave been success fully treated.

 From Athens comes the news that King Ferdinand had been visit ing German-Austrian camps and is said to have interviewed the rulers as to their opinion of his intended proposal. Whatever answer he re- ceived, it is said, does not alter the fact that Bulgaria wants peace. Such is positively affirmed
