LONG TUNNEL
, To Be RUN on
SAMOAN MINE
(FrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner.)

The Samoan mine, lying to the
south of the Lucky Boy on the noun
tain to the east of Chloride, is 10 soon
be tapped by a tunnel 14OO feet long,
and at a depth of approximately 700
feet. The bore will bring the rich Sa-
moan-Lucky Boy vein within easy
reach of transportation and do away
with the heavy packing that heretofore
obtained to reach the property.
The mines on the mountain were op-
Grated some years ago at heavy ex-
pense, and while the rich ores were
assorted and packed down to the
wagon road, the poorer grades, Of
which there are thousands Of tons, still
remain in the properties. With deep
tunnel tapping the veins it will be
possible to extract and concentrate the
big ore bodies at low costs and put
the mines on heavy producing basis.
Sufficient water for milling purposes
will probably be opened by the tunnel
and many other veins may be cut in
driving it across that we'll mineralized
zone.
]. H. Hoffman, secretary of the
Arizona Southwestern Copper com
pany and who is also one of the mem
bers of the Chloride Gold Mines COM
pany, is getting matters shaped up for
the work of driving the tunnel.

NOMINATIONS
Of CAMPBELL
ARE REJECTED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 15.-Gover-
nor CampbelPs nominations of Doane
Merrill to be citizen membed of the
board of control; George H. Smalley
to be state examiner and James A.
johnson and Frank P. Moor to be
members of the livestock board were
rejected by the senate today by a
practically party vote IA to 5. In the
cases of johnson and Smalley the vote
was 13 to 6. A week ago there was
"a lineup of 10 to 9 in favor of con-
firmation. It was understood that the
Democratic members, Buchanan of
Pima, Mattox of Navajo, Sutter Of
Cochise, Campbell of Coconino and
Rutherford of Yavapai would vote for
confirmation. Since then, Mattox was
won over to the Hunt side, though
only as to this matter which he said
he regarded as purely political.
Just before vote was called on the
first nomination, that of Johnson, Mr..
Sutter said that it was not the pur-
pose of himself or, he believed, any
other Democratic senator to vote for
confirmation. He had only desired
that the matter might be finally dis
posed of in an orderly manner and
according to the rules.
The failure of the nominations re-
suited from the inability of the four
Democratic colleagues to bring Mr..
Mattox into line. The four were ready
to vote for confirmation.
Two bills affecting the Lowell OBJ
servatory at Flagstaff were introduced
in the senate and passed under a sus-
pension of the rules. One of them
exempts the property, inherited from
the late DR.. Percival Lowell and to
be maintained in the interest of
science and not for profit, from the
operation of the inheritance tax. The
other exempts the property from tax
alton.
Another bill would enable the state I
to take advantage of the federal post
roads bill and another would amend
the land code SO that money at the
disposal Of the land department may
be used for defraying the expense of
the appraisal of land on which applica-
ton for loans is made.

MACHINERY BOUGHT
FOR HUGHES ARIZONA

Machinery is being purchased and
will be installed in the Copper Hill tun-
mel on the Hughes Arizona property
within the coming 80 days. The tun-
mel has now progressed to a point
where air drills can be used to better
advantage than hand methods and
while making faster the progress of
the present tunnel, the installation of
machinery now will mean that it will
be on the ground in perfect working
order when prosecuting to the COM
pany's main ledge begins.
The ore in the tunnel continues to
maintain its quantity and quality and
a big box Of it was recently expressed
to Salt Lake, where it will be put on
exhibition.
Since the recent visit to the tunnel
Of Percy NJ. Chopper and a number of
influential Utah mining men, requests
for samples of the tunnels rich copper
ore have been so numerous that it was
decided to send a quantity to Salt
Lake for distribution there.

RICH ORE SHIPPED
BY ARIZONA BUTTE
CFrOm Sundays Daily AIinsr.)

The Arizona Butte Mines company
yesterday shipped a carload Of rich
lead ore to the smelter. It was ex-
tracted from the adit drift, distance
of about 28OO feet from the portal.
Every place quartz shows in the lead
there is a considerable showing of ma
tive silver. The ore is said to be very
high grade, and it will probably reach
the smelter at a time to get a ten
cent lead market.
The Arizona Butte is also shipping
a large tonnage of concentrates, which
will be further increased when the de
la Fountaine output begins to arrive
at the mill. Three shifts are to be put
in the mill at once and more than 200
tons of ore daily will be treated.

COPPERVILLE
PROPERTY HAS
GREAT FUTURE
Thousands of Tons of Mil
ling Ore in Slopes of
Arizona Southwestern
Copper Company Mine
Greater Operations for
Future Are Planned


One of the mines, or rather group
of mines, that il. sure to make good
with future development is the prop
erty of the Arizona Southwestern Cop
per company at Copperville, about 25
miles easterly from Yucca, a station
on the main line of the Santa Fe.
The property is in the Cedar Mining
District, Wallapai mountains, and in
one of the best mineralized sections
Of that great range. Development has
been carried on in the property for
several years and a vast amount of
work done. A preliminary shaft was
sunk to a depth of 300 feet on one Of
the veins, from which a drift 1000 feet
was carried south to the point where
the big working shaft has been sunk
to a depth Of 400 feet. A drift has
been advanced to the north 270 feet
from the bottom of this shaft and sew
eral crosscuts run into the ore. While
the ore is low grade in the crosscuts
it was only to ascertain the trend of
the vein that they were run as the ore
body proper was not expected to be
entered until the drift had been car
ried about $50 feet north. A drift is
also to be driven south into an ore
body that shows in some surface work
a short distance south of the shaft.
On the 200 foot level of the main
working shaft, which approximates
the 300 foot level of No. 1 shaft, a
large amount of work has been done
The vein to the north of the shaft
shows a full width of from 80 to 40
feet. Crosscuts broke through a,
'horse" of diorite and disclosed an
other vein that carried high values in
lead. This vein has been opened in
many places to a point where it in
tersected with the main ore body.
Some stoping has been done on this
vein which shows ore from more than
400 feet in length. Silver values ap-
pear to run about two ounces to each
per cent of lead, which would make
the concentrates run about 12O ounces
silver to the ton. Good gold values
have also been opened up in the big
vein, and copper shows throughout the
openings.
The vein is an immense one. It /
OutcrOps from the apex of the range
to Copper Canyon, a distance of more
than mile and is owned by the Ariz-
Una Southwestern. Many places in the
vein have been opened and values ap-
pear in all of them. While it squeezes /
down to six or eight feet in places
In the Siamese it shows a width of
fully 40 feet. With greater depth,
which it is understood the manage
ment contemplates, it is the belief that

BUILDING GARAGE
AND REPAIR SHOP
CFrOm Sunday. Daily Minsr.)

The Arizona Engineering Company
has under construction a new garage,
store room and repair shop on its
property at the corner of Third and
Front streets. The building will be of
concrete and metal lath construction.
1t will have a storage room for auto
mobiles 28-70 feet, an attractive office
room, 32x30 feet, and a machinery
warehouse. The building is not as
elaborate as first contemplated but
will be a decided improvement to the
business section of Kingman.
Mohave County miner., 1917-02-17

the property will make one of the
largest producers of lead and copper
ores in the district. The veins give
every indication that only depth is
necessary to bring in a big sulphide
zone that will be as permanent pro-
ducer as the Bunker Hill or Sullivan.
The Arizona Southwestern Copper
company has one of the besteequipped
properties in the county. TN big oil
engines, of $50 horse powep apacity
each. furnish power to two Edison
generators, these furnishing wer to
drive one 10O-horsepower dou drum
hoist, a big electric pump a COM
pressors. The power is suffiq mt not
only to operate the biw mill, t also
to give ample power to sink II shaft
to a depth of 1000 feet. 1t also has
a milling plant that can handle at
least 300 tons of ore per day, having
crushing capacity and IA concentrat-
ing tables of the latest approved de-
sign. This plant was operated suf
ficiently to give the management
some idea of the values of the ore and
its milling possibilities.
The company is now being financed
in the east for the new work that is
intended to carry the shaft to depth
of a. least 700 feet and to open up the
two big ore shoots that have been de-
velcped in the vein. ]. H. Hoffman,
secretary-treasurer of the company
was in the east for several months
lining up matters so that work on the
shaft and drifts would be carried for
ward without interruption after the
first of March. He was at the mines
last week looking them over and siz-
ing up the progress on the north drift
from the 400 foot level. At the breast
of that drift, now in about 270 feet,
there is indication of entering the ore
zone, the flow of water becoming
greater and the teaching Of iron oxides
covering the sides of the drift to
considerable extent.
The mining editor of the Daily
Miner and Jack Box, the artist work
ing on the de luxe edition Of the
Miner, went through the mine with
Mr.. Hoffman and superintendent John
Letter recently. They were greatly
surprised with the great size of the
vein and the large amount of work
done in opening it up. They found
thousands of tons of milling ore in
the slopes, great part of which is
heavy in metal. To them the mines
have a great future, the one important
thing necessary being good treasury
back of well directed development, and
of the later it can be said that the
company is fortunate in having ]. C.
Hoffman and John Letter as directors.

SELLS ADELINE
GROUP TO J. |. WEBER

Lewis NJ. Boyer has sold the Ade-
line group of four claims to John l..
Weber Of Mineral Park. The group
adjoins the Setz property and has q
showing of ore Is inches in width that
assays S21.30 per ton in gold and sill
yer. The tunnel will attain a depth
of 500 feet vertical depth on the ore.
1t is believed that another hundred
feet of driving viii reveal ore of much
greater width than that now exposed.
The new purchaser will begin active
operations without delay, adding an
other property to the many in that
section under development.

GOOD SIZED VEIN
STRUCK ON X-RAY

1t is reported that a good sized vein
showing excellent values was uncov-
cred Monday on the Chloride X-Ray
property, which is controlled by John
D. Spargo, one of the old-time resi-
dents of the camp.
This property has been in litigation
for many years apd Spargo has spent
a small fortune in holding possession.
Spargo, who is an invalid, manages
and directs all work from his home
and he and associates are much elated
at the strike made this week.

RIPPING RHYMES
SLUMP IN READING

We haven't time for magazines,
nor patience with romances, for
touring cars and limousines have
altered circumstances. We used to
sit before the fire and read the
story tellers, the gents who punish
sounding Tyres and all that bunch
of fellers. We read up Homer,
Milton, Bill-old Bill, the bard of
Avon, and strained our intellects
until we had to rub some salve on.
The bookstores got our extra
change when we went forth a.
shoppings; but now, alas-'tis
sad and strange-old customs we
are dropping. Ere l went daft on
gasoline and tires and clutch and
starter, l bought the works of
Anna Green and Bertha Clay and
Carter. 1 read all kinds of help
full tones Endorsed by church and
college, l read the tales of Sher-
lock Holmes, and stored my mind
with knowledge. But now my
books have vanished clean, with

Milton for a tire, and Pope to fix
a puncture; 1 go to soak my price

SAMPLES SENT S. |.

A request reached here by telegraph
early this week for large shipment
of samples from the Copper Hill claim
of the Hughes-Arizona AS a result
of the request box containing a hun
dred pounds of the high grade was
sent by express.
The Hughes-Arizona high grade ore
breaks up so easily that it is difficult
