TO PRESERVE
ANCIENT RUINS

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 2.-Organiza-
ton to prevent the further exploitation
of ancient ruins in Arizona for the
benefit of various museums and pri-
vate collections the country over has
been begun here by the appointment
of the archaeological society of Arizona
of a strong committee to make repre-
sensations to the secretary of interior
and the Arizona delegation in con-
gress, seeking to protect the relics.
Several eastern museums and societies
have been particularly active in re-
moving relics recently. Permits to ex-
cavate and further remove the results
of such exploitation will be discounte-
nanced. On the committee are several
of the leading business and profess
sional men of the state, the president
of the university, the episcopal bishop
of Arizona and the vice president of
the United States.

NEW TENNESSEE
HAS RICH LEAD ORE

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Feb. 2-During
development work here on the New
Tennessee an unexpected strike of lead
ore was made near the collar of the
shaft which when assayed showed II
per cent lead, a short follow of the
vein soon widened it to two feet. The
shaft will be sunk to 500 feet before
real production work will be under
taken In this connection it is inter
esting to know that the old Merrimac
will be resumed shortly owing to an
agreement of the difficulty that has
been over the property for some years.
The Merrimac is one of the wealth
producers of the old days. A 100-ton
mill will be erected on the Silver Hill
property also.

MOLYBDENITE HIT
NEAR WICKENBURG

WICKENBURG, Ariz., Feb. "A
vein of molybdenite fifty feet in width
has been opened in the Hamlin Wash
section. The great body of ore carries
wulfenite throughout and is easily
separated at the concentration plant
now working under the same roof as
the sampler here. Thos. Walsh, man
ager of the mine, has recently erected
a hoist and installed machiner. A
contract has been made to deliver $50
tons of ore per month. The concen-
trates go to Lavine and Co. of Phila-
delphia. This mine is one of the Ada
C group and is twelve miles northwest

claims were located principally for
of the copper deposition is traceable
to the porphyry dykes, and where car
Donate ores of copper are found on the
surface associated with a leached iron
oxide near porphyry dyke, it is con-
elusive evidence that the naturalization
is due to the teaching and ixidization
of the primary sulphides contained in
the dyke. The teaching and oxidiza-
ton of the dyke near the surface has
resulted in the formation of small
bodies of copper carbonates near the
surface, and has left the dyke barren
of its original copper values. the
history of the district has been, how
ever, that where the dykes have been
found to be barren of copper values
near the surface that after being de-
veloped below the leached zone, they
have been found to contain workable
deposits of primary sulphide copper
ores.
1.-The vein exposed on the New Era
has every indication of being the
leached outcrop of a mineral bearing
porphyry dyke, and I am Of the opinion
that if explored below the oxidized
zone that it will be found to contain
workable deposits of primary copper
sulphide ores. The fact that high grade
carbonate ores can be found at num-
erous places along the outcrop which
is traceable the entire length of the
claim, together with my knowledge of
the district, leads me to the conclusion
that with we'll directed exploration
work, there will be developed very
promising copper mine on this claim.
The vein has been opened up in only
one place-and that is only a shallow
open cut twenty feet in length with
twelve-foot face-yet, there is exposed
copper carbonate ore, which upon
camping yielded 29.5 per cent copper.
A short distance of the south of open
cut sample of high grade copper ore
exposed in the groupings assayed III
per cent copper The showing is very
promising, and I strongly recommend
that the vein be developed by means of
a shaft or tunnel located at some fav-
orable place which will give the great
est depth for the least work. Judging
from the development work done in the
district a depth of at least ESQ feet
would have to be reached before pri-
mary sulphide ores could be expected"

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 2.-Among
the bills recently introduced in the
Arizona legislature is one adopting the
Torrens System of Land Registration,
for the perfection and protection Of
land title. Mallory of Pima is sponsor
for the bill. Other bills of interest
are those increasing the hours of ser
vice of supervisors offices from seven
to eight hours each day for business
incidentally sheriffs, clerks of courts,
recorders, treasurers and tax collectors
are likewise affected. A similar bill
was introduced relating to all officers
providing that offices must be kept
open from 10 to 4, except on holidays,
Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows
a Saturday half holiday practically by
word of law.

CHICAGO, January 26.-The big
piece of railroad rumor here this
week-and it becomes insistent today
is that Colonel D. c. lacking of San
Francisco, the copper king, who is said
in both this city and New York to have
made profit of $2,OO0,OOO month
during 1915 out of his great copper ac-
tivities, is to be the new power in the
Rock Island railroad system.
"Jackling is being mentioned as a
director and president and also as a
director and chairman of the direc-
torate's executive committee.
An Ideal Chairman
His eastern friends have it that he
is too busy man to accept the roads
presidency, but that as chairman of
the board he is the ideal man!
GAS the story runs, Jackling prefers
to live on the Pacific coast, where he
is now, so a railroad presidency does
not appeal to him from either a bust
ness standpoint or as thing that
would change his residency.
Living in California, they say, he
could very we'll act as chairman of
the board in railroad in which he
and many Of his strong business friends
have large investments.
at is not known here how lacking
feels on the subject, but that he can
be a director and chairman of the
board is generally admitted because
the conflicting interests in the prop
erty deem him persona grata as a man
and business character.
Meets With Approval
Charles Hayden, big figure in the
Rock Islands reorganization and a
power at New York city, is reported
very favorable to the idea.
IN. L. Almster of Boston, who is
leader Of the minority securities in
Rock Islands approaching financial
readjustment, also deems Jackling a
good man for the place.
Federal Judge C. A. Carpenters in
terest in court in this city in the Rock
Island debt reorganization is hasten
ing the latter, all of which is making
the lacking rumors very pertinent and
interesting.
1.-THE Rock Island is one of the big
western railroad systems with pas
senger trains daily into San Fran
cisco both by way of Ell Paso and
Tucson and Colorado Springs.
Own Line to Tucson
ut has it's own line to Tucson in
connection with Phelps, Dodge & Co.'S
Ell Paso and Southwestern railroad, and
brokers look upon it as the next over
land system to build into California.
"The famous tin plate coterie headed
by Daniel Reed and Judge West Moore,
for the property before they finally
landed it in it's present receivership.
Before he died E. H. Hartman was
afraid of the Rock Island entering
southern California with San Diego as
an ocean terminus. In fact, Hartman
was afraid Moore and Reed would tie
up with j. d. Spreckels' proposed line
from San Diego into Yuma. That is
why he joined Spreckels over the OBJ
lection of his Southern Pacific bankers
in New York.
THAT road is now being finished by
the Southern Pacific.

MUCH ACTIVITY
AROUND PARKER

PARKER, Jan. 26.--EXtensive de-
velopment work on nearly every prop
erty in the district has been the out
standing feature of the past week in
the mining districts around Parker.
While the producing mines are getting
out from ESQ tons of ore per day for
the Swansea, down to 20 or 80 tons per
week for the smaller producers, fever
ish activity in blocking out or opening
up new ore obdies continues undated.
Thursday last H. A. Morse, super
intendent in charge of the work on the
Arizona Revenue properties, opened up
new ore body on the Echo group.
Samples of the ore assay as high as 10
per cent copper with an average of APP
proximately per cent. A close COM
parison of the ore, and the general
vein matter is said to prove conclu-
sively that the ledge is the one on
which the Swansea mine is located 1000
feet or more to the east.
The excellent showings made on the
Revenue property and the prospect for
the immediate shipment of ore in small
quantities from both the Echo and Ell
Moline groups of the big consolidation,
has attracted the attention of eastern
capital and it is understood negotia-
lions are under way to dispose of
considerable block of stock to inter-
ested fasteners.
Tom Carrigan, one of the organizers
of the Standard Copper company,
which, owns about twenty claims ad-
joining the Revenue property to the
west, is in Los Angeles this week COM
pleting details of the organization. A
large body of high grade ore is being
opened up on the Mineral Zone group
of Mr. Carrigan's property and it is
probable that an additional force will
be put at work on the Dome City group
as soon as necessary machinery ar
rives.
The Empire Arizona mines on the
Carnation and Eagles Nest claims are
shipping about thirty tons of ore per
day. Work on the Carnation has been
on the 200 foot level during the past
week and the new drift has opened up
a small vein Of exceptionally high grade
copper ore, carrying about $25 per ton
perhaps the best developed mine on the
property and with increasing depth is
encountering better ore.
Work on the Arizona McGinnis,
which adjoins the Eagles Nest claim
of the Empire property, has consisted
principally of additional development
work during the past week. Several
open cuts and shallow shafts have
opened up and traced for a consider
able distance the big ledge which is
dipping toward the Grey Eagle shaft
of the Empire on the other side of Cop
per Queen mountain.
Across the river, work on the Cop
per Basin property has continued to
be the sensation of tne district, not
withstanding the very evident desire
of the property owners to suppress in
formation about the rich blanket of
copper sulphides encountered at a
depth of 300 feet. Reports that a syn
dictate of fasteners nave secured an
option on this property and are dick
ering for other claims in the vicinity,
while unconfirmed continue to spread
rapidly.
