YAVAPAI MINES ARE
 BE|NG OPENED UP

0ION0 hlIS Uilut dDuue SZ,uUU.UtO worth. the Tuscumbia mine about S300,000 worth and the Lane mine about $20O,O00 worth. The Mud Hole and Homestead mines in the Walker Basin district were also prolific pro- ducers of silver ores as was likewise the Leghorn mine in the Cherry Creek dictrict. A similar record attaches to the Tip Top mine at Tip Top, former ly worked by Haggin & Hearst, and to numerous other silver, or silver gold properties throughout Yavapai county. The properties specifically mentioned herein were selected from the roster by reason of the fact that they are again operative or are about to become operative. The ores in a number of these mines show a tendency to make into copper at depth, the condition being one which tends to increase rather than to lessen their popularity and worth.
 Two Cases In Point
 This transmutatiOn disposition is particularly noticeable in the gold-sil- yer ores opened in the Homestead mine at Walker Basin. and in the Leg horn mine in the Cherry Creek dis trict. Some months ago Mir. J. H. Shockley, of New York City, a well known mining engineer. examined the Homestead property for Irving K.'Far. rington. also of New York City. Fol lowing the examination Mir FerringtOl took over the property for a number of his clients. An ore shoot is exposed for length of 200 feet on both sides of the shaft at depth of 200 feet The deposit carries an average of S5C gold-silver per ton and shows consid erable chalcopyrite and a little cop per glance.
 The gold-silver ores being mined in the Leghorn mine. formerly worked by the Leghorn Mines Estate, anu now being operated by the Copper Lode Mines company. are breaking an average of $20 per ton. The ore bodies exposed on the fourth level and in the workings giving off from the bottom of the shaft-a depth of $40 feet-aIe we'll impregnated with copper. There | is marked increase in the per cent of copper at the deeper point of oper ations over that prevailing on the 400 | foot level. This increase is so pro nounced. in fact, the management will at once deepen the shaft to the 1000 foot point, where it is probable the zone of primary copper enrichment will be entered. A considerable DOT tion of the expense attaching to de velopment of the property at a depth og 1000 feet will be met by the Teduc tion of a generous tonnage of the gold-silver ores in the company's mill
 Grown King Comes Back.
 About 100 tons of iron concentrates and like tonnage of zinc concen trates go out each month from the plant of the Randolph -Gemmill De velopment company at Crown King The iron is shipped to the shelter al Humboldt and the zinc to Oklahoma and Kansas smelling points. These concentrates are reclaimed from Crown King mine ores and are "sweetened" with a little high grade gold ore from the Wildhower mine Both of the properties mentioned are being operated by the Randolph-G Gem mill company Frank s. Veile, O. New York City and Prescott, is dom inant factor in the company's affairs. Mir. Veile is also interested in the Arizona Binghamton Copper company The company's Binghamton mine near Mayer is being developed into one oi the big copper propositions of Yavapai county.
 The production of copper matte from the Binghamton for the month of May totaled 2SO,OOO pounds. It was reclaimed from ores mined during the ordinary course of development work and reduced in the company's 150-tOn mill. This ore sampled an average of per cent copper at the heads" Dur ing the month of June Mine SuperiB- tendent Clancy started seven stOpes in the three ore bodies being developed on the several levels to a depth of 800 feet. Some of this ore is breaking an average Of 22 per cent copper per ton. The production of mine and mill will be considerably higher for June than for May. The mine is rapidly approaching a stage of development which will place it in the dividend paying division headed by the famous United Verde and the equally famous United Verde Extension mine. Gen eral Manager G. W. Johnson expects to have the property on a profit basis within sixty days.
