MILL AT
 CHLORIDE NOW
 READY T0START

CHLORIDE, Ariz.-Tte Steffy cus- tom mil, after a long series of delays caused by the non arrival of machinery
 parts. is now ready to be placed in com mission. Other delays may occur from
 time to time, due perhaps to breakage
 or other causes beyond control, but it
 can be safely stated that Chlorides
 long looked for custom plant is now a
 reality
 The mill will have a capacity of 250
 to 3G0 tons at the beginning It is mod ern in every detail and was planned to treat ore in the most economical man.
 ner so that the lower grades of ore on dumps and in mines might be treated at profit
 Tbe Payroll has completed a new road skirting the foothills to the Steffy plant and has Chappell Brothers en- gagged hauling ore to the bins at the
 new mill This ore is coming from the 200-toot level and promises to yield
 very good returns. as it has the appear ance of an ore that will make ideal concentrates. The Payroll is raising from the 400 level to the 200 level and 1 IS also drifting on the 400 southWard, where good ore continues to be found ] The New Tennessee is still opening i m to five feet of ore in the shaft, and | this ore is of an exceptionally good i grade, with lead and gold the predom- lnatD.g values. Two shafts are being worked, the water coming in so rapidly
 that the company deemed it economy to
 take this step. The lights on this prop erty at night now view with those of
 its big neighbor, the Tennessee, owned by the United States Smelling and | 1.efinlng company.
 The New Mohawk has just cut into the vein with it's No. 2 shaft. The vein was found to have strengthened up, ac- counting for it's not being. cut at the
 lO0-fOot point instead of at a depth of 1 l29 feet, where it actually was broken
 lnto While the ore so far found shows less ruby silver than in the Winze sunk
 years ago by old timers, that is to be
 expected, as it will require some drift
 ing to pick up this ore shoot which was
 first found at a considerable distance
 from the site of the present shaft. The Keystone has Fred w. Sherman , at work remodeling the plant put in last winter. When this work Is fin ished, the big dump will be run through and if all is found to work out right the nthe mine will be pumped dry and . development work resumed. In the , meantime the mine will be utilized as a i source of water supply for the mil.
 The plant of the Arizona Ore Reduc- n ton company is being tuned up Several Iminor breaks has caused delays from , day to day. but these are being repaired
 and the plant should be turning out I concentrates regularly before the first 2 of the month.
 I At a depth of 40 feet in the shaft
 While cutting out the sides of the shaft tor set of timberS, a good looking . shoot of ore has been opened up on the e Fredonia, owned by the Union Metals t company This property sidelines the l. Golconda. The ore was assayed and : showed better than milling values in l silver and gold The shoot is coming 9 into the shaft and promises to develop l better with depth.
 t Jesse Knigt's Bullion is being devel-
 oped with three shifts. The electrically e driven machinery is working like a 2 watch. The shaft has attained a depth y of 140 feet. At the 300-foot point a l station will be cut and the shaft con 2 tinued to the 400 where another station ] will be cut. Cross cutting on bnti. these levels will be done then simultaneously The Tuckaho shaft has been driven to a depth of l50 feet, wAera station
 k being cut and where a crosscut will
 ba driven to eXplore the vein. Eighteen y feet of cross cutting should suffice to q bring the vein into view.
