pany is being financed with outside capital. This is one of the best de- veloped properties south of the Bing- hampton and Copper Queen mines. The Schist Belt Copper Company has just been organized by A. w, Davis, ! H. c. Storey, s. E. Wallace, Charles Hooker and others of prominence in northern Arizona. The property lies north of the Silver Belt mine, west of Humboldt, and is on the strike of the Jesse and Union veins. The ore car ries high values in gold.
 Indications are that there will be general activity in the Cherry Creek district this coming year. Several new companies are being organized among the best mining men of this state. Capital is being interested in Califor- mia, Ohio, Chicago and other eastern points. J. H. Tribby, who is one of the oldest of the mine owners in that district, has turned over -four of his properties, the Evening Star, Climax, Three Metals and thd Shipper, to a combination of men residing in Pasa- dena, California, the deal having been consummated through Dr. w. A. Crawford, of that city. The four properties are well developed, showing high-grade gold and copper ore. Judge D. E. Parks, of Prescott, and associ- ates, own the Logan mine which is in the same camp.
 In the same district, the Jerome Conger Mining Company which is of- ficered mostly by Prescott business men, has acquired the old Conger mine. The company is to be financed by Ohio people. The ore is gold and copper.
 One of the best developed proper ties in the Cherry district is owned by the Verde Inspiration Company. There. are several parallel veins traversing the property which have been exten- sively developed. The Etta mine is an example of what can be done with the mines of the district it having produced over a half a million dollars in gold by amalgamation. As depth is attained on thd veins, the gold values have turned into good grade chalco- pyrite. In the case of the Verde In- spiration mine, several deep shafts have been sunk on different portions of the veins. The 20-ton stamp mill has handled successfully all the ore that has been mined. The plan is to increase the capacity of the stamps and tO install a comOlete concentration and cyanide equipment. These are about 10000 tons of oxidized gold ore blocked out and there is much more ground that has not been developed that will carry this same quality of gold ore. The ore that has been mill ed will average about S15 ton in gold. Already in the deepest workings this gold ore has begun to turn into the characteristic chalcopyrite, which . will cause the company to add the flo tation process to the mill methods.

been run to tap known body of cop
 per developed by a shaft. Indications
 are that this is one of the largest
 bodies of copper ore in the Copper
 Mountain district. The grade is not
 high but it is of the same character
 as ore that comes from adjoining
 properties in the schist formation.
 To the south of the Barbara mine
 a very important strike of lead-silver
 ore has just been made in the Poca-
 hOntas mine in a crosscut at the 150-
 foot level. The vein is about 12 feet
 wide and the average of the milling
 grade is from S15 to S2O a ton with
 three feet of high grade. A carload
 of lumber has been purchased and a
 50-ton flotation mill will be installed
 as soon as the machinery can be as- I sembled. This proposition is very
 similar to that of the Anderson-Birch
 mine west of Humboldt, which has been paying handsomely with a small Notation mill on the same class of sil- ver-lead ores.
 The new copper district in which two important strikes have been re- ported during the past ten days, is around the old Hidden Treasure mine south of Mayer. John Slak has been developing a large group ot claims called the NacO. The strike made by him last week is considered one of the richest ever made in that district. The ledge is about three feet wide with rich center which will run from 60 to 70 per cent copper. Two miles east of the Naco mine a group of claims is being developed by B. W. Gill. At one place a pit has been sunk 15 feet deep on strong ledge of copper which shows considerable glance and native copper. This vein is about 5000 feet long with strong outcroppings the full length. The ledge is about 20 feet wide. Between these two properties J. D. Dillon and associates have open ed the extension of the Naco veins with 75-foot open-cut which shows a large body of milling ore. These properties are near the railroad and are but a short distance from the Prescott-Phoenix highway.
 A new camp will soon be established eight miles west of Mayer in the Pine Flat district by Judge John A. Pea cock of Fort Worth, Texas, who has just organized the Circle Peak Mining | Company, taking over ten claims not | far from the old Cumberlain mine and | mill. There are about 100000 feet | of choice pine timber covering the The ore carries good values at the surface of copper, gold and silver. The company also has an op- ton on the Cumberlain property which ] in early days was a producer of high | grade gold and silver ore. The wagon 1 road between these properties and | Mayer is to be put in shape.
 Development work is to be com menced within a few days on the Pat ton mine which has been taken over 1 by the newly organized Rio Tonto i Copper Mines Company of which P. J. Mcintyre and W. D. Mahoney, of Jerome, ard the principals. The com

yer to a great extent and a higher price for silver would bring many mines into the productive stage. The new year will see either the dreams of higher silver prices realized or dissi- pated. It is to be hoped that the price be made stable and that when a miner produces a few tons of ore bearing the white metal he will be able to dispose of it to advantage. With stable silver prices smelters will be able to handle every pound of ore offered.

T E. Pollock of Flagstaff, was in Kmgman a short time this week look ing after important banking and other interests. Mir. Pollock is now heavily interested in the new railroad that IS being built south from Holbrook into the big forest, where mills are soon to be erected. The road is to have a length of 70 miles and will be one of the most important in the state, as it is possible that it will be carried through to the south part of Arizona as a coal road, as well as delivering timber to the big mining fields.

Grant McKesson and associates, who have a tungsten mining property in the Wallapai mountains, are/pre- pairing to erect milling plant for the concentration of the ores. While their ore streak is small it appears to be continuous, the shaft carrying ore to it's present depth. The metal is very rich, carrying only Q smalp percent age of iron.
