DETROIT MINE OPENS
 UP RICH ORE BODY

KINGMAN, June 16.-In the adit drift on the Detroit mine, in Bobtail Basin, about fourteen miles north of Kingman, J. J. Conolly has opened a great body of copper ore. The drift has been driven some distance in the ore body, which is started to be six feet wide. This ore is considered quite rich by the owner. who finds it to be the same as that encountered in another part of the mine. Mir. Conolly has been at work on this property since the first of the year on his own account. Prior to that time the prop erty was under bond to a man whose death caused a vacation of the option.
 I. M. George is also an owner with MT. Conolly in the property, and the gentlemen have been keeping work of development under way the past two years. The vein is one of the largest in that section and is well mineraliZed on the surface.

Senator Clark Is
 Rapidly Becoming
 Second Rockefeller

Statisticans who have kept a fairly close tab on the known investments of ex-Senator w. A. Clark, make the startling statement this this man, who earlier in life earned his living as bull team driver. and later as a ven dor of spices and baking powders, is rapidly approaching the billionaire class, with prospects of becoming wealthier than even John D. Rocke- feller.
 Just what the senator's income is must remain largely matter of con. lecture to the public. but his intimates say that he could raise one hundred million dollars in cash within 24 hours should occasion arise. His United Verde copper mine alone is said to be paying him a monthly dividend of S2,000,000, and he is also known to own mines in Montana. California, Arizona, Michigan and other states, besides possessing valuable oil prop critics in Wyoming. He also owns the Salt Lake line from Butte to Los Angeles and substantial stock inter- ests in numerous large and widely di- vergent enterprises. To France-in which country the senator owns a ten million dollar chateau-he made a loan of fifty million dollars.
 Although Senator Clark is 76 years old. he is as physically capable and as mentally alert as men who are very much younger. Every day at his New York office he gets telegraphic reports from his more important holdings and maintains a close personal supervis- ion over his affairs. It is in New York city, too, that the senator has his home -an unpretentious edifice on Fifth avenue, costing a paltry fifteen mil lion dollars.
 Senator Clark is a philosopher as well as a financier He refuses to let trouble trouble him. q have learned never to worry" he declares, but to conserve my energies. The result is that l sleep like child when my head touches the pillow and 1 wake up fresh for any task"
 Senator Clark's career is a splendid object lesson as regards the great fin ancial possibilities of legitimate min ing.-Skilling's Mining Review

DENVER COUNCILMEN
 FIGHT HIGH PRICES
(By Review Leased Wire)

DENVER, June 12.-Further steps tward municipal activity to alleviate conditions arising from the present high cost of food, and to prevent a possible heavy increase in the cost of fuel were taken by the council to- night It passed on first reading an order authorizing the mayor to ap- point an advisory committee of five to serve without pay. to ascertain the best and most available means of pro- viding food and feul to the people Of the city at low rates.
 Mayor Spear, in a letter urging the council to take the action said:
 Tt is impossible for a large number of our people to exist for any length of time under present conditions. Rumblings of discontent from the pro hibitive cost of food are 10 be heard in many directions and they will in crease if relief is not provided"
 The operation of municipal coal mines and the opening of the city utilitum as a free service mark are two of the steps suggested to alleviate present or impending conditions.

NEW MINING CONCERN
 BEGINS OPERATIONS
Jerome .Yeager, Which Re- gently Took Over Old Claims, Straightens Shaft And Launches Vigorous Work.

JEROME, June 16.-With a carload of timber on the ground, tents erected whim up and the old shaft straight ened from collar to bottom, operations are going forward with vigor and vim at the property of the Jerome Yeager Copper company, six miles west of Jerome.
 When the whim was set up the first work undertaken was to straighten the shaft. which Lad already been sunk 50 feet on an incline. In the strengthening process some splendid indications of copper were opened in the quartz porphyry. The walls of the shaft are vivid red and green in color
 Two 500-pound buckets are used in hoisting the ore t5 the surface. The whim works even better than hoped when it was erected. The ground is soft, and at the present depth there would be little or no advantage to be gained by installing machinery.
 The timbers on the ground are suffi- cient for a shaft 250 feet deep, and it is planned to sink with the whim to that level, unless water is encountered sooner. When water is struck it will be necessary. of course. eo install ma chinery.

HYDRAULIC MINING INTERESTS bISbEE
 PEOPLE IN COMPANY
Possibilities of Feather River
 Country, In California,
 Looked Into By Many Pros- pective Investors In District.

Many people were favorably attract ed yesterday afternoon and last even ing to the window display at the Sasse candy store, on Main street, of the Feather River Gold Mines, Inc The display was begun yesterday by George Threlkel, president of the com pany and former resident of Bisbee, who is interesting local money in the enterprise.
 Feather river, in California, has plJ- duced millions in gold and promises to produce more if the present operations there and the indications pointed out by Threlkel and his associates come true in part. The Feather River prop osition is one of hydraulic mining. There will be no shafts rO sink, no head frames to buy and build, no Iun- nels to drive, no cross-cutting or stop ing. The work involves the cutting into immense gravel beds with streams of warer and running the gravel through a series of sluice boxes.
 According to Threlkel, who worked for the Shattuck last year, the Feath- CT river beds, of which his company holds over 800 acres, contain gold in plenty. The gravel contains as high a value of gold as 9S cents a cubic yard. Under the system to be worked on the property, cit is estimated that 800 cubic yards will be broken every hour and put through the sluices.
 Threlkel and his partner, J. P Gla- zier, who is also favorably known in Bisbee. have had much experience in hydraulic mining. Threlkel, particu- larly, has seen this class of mining operations pursued in nearly every quarter of the world. The headquar- ters of the promoting company is at Sasse's store or at the Philadelphia hotel

WATER INTERFERING
 WITH GADSDEN WORK

JEROME, June 16.-So much water is making in the Gadsden shaft that Superintendent J. K Hooper may be forced any day to stop and cut a sta tion for pump.
 The superintendent has been plan ming to bail the water down to the 5OOfoot level and cut a small station there, running a drift back about 30 feet and making a pump. But dur ing the three days that the Gadsden was closed down because of the strike the water rose some 30 feet. One day was required for bailing, and the first round of shots after the resump- tion of work was fired this morning.
 The Calumet & Arizona people. who are developing the Gadsden, have not decided whether they shall cut a big station and begin to drift around for the ore at the 1000 foot level or wait until the shaft is 1900 feet deep. They are believers in deep however, and will not stop until the shaft is down at least 1000 feet.

LAKE SUPERIOR IS
 MAKING EXTENSIVE
 MINE IMPROVEMENTS

HOUGHTON. Mich. June 16.-Ev- cry man who can be spared from ac- tual production work is being used by the Lake Superior copper mines on the biggest construction program ever undertaken. The mine managers with out exception are putting many thou sands of dollars into work which will lower production costs in the future by raising them materially now.
 The Mohawk. Wolverine, Quincy and Calumet & Hecla have started work on fire sprinkler systems in their mills. Mass. Consolidated is increas- ing its mill capacity. the Mohawk-Wol- verine mills are installing an expen- sive new turbine and new launders; a turbine is going in at the Ahmeek mine; Calumet & Hecla is adding a new 2,00O-kilowatt turbine to operate the new electrical tramming and min ing devices just installed. Isle Roy ale, Adventure, Mass, Lake, Ahmeek, keweenaw Copper and Oseeola are among mines building new houses for employees, and many mines are adding new shops. Tamarack mill is being extended.
 The Chilean mills at the Calumet & Hecla regrinding plant No. l are being replaced with Hardinge conical mills. The Calumet & Hecla is planning to build a big Notation plant and is in- creasing the capacity of it's teaching plant from 2,00O to 1000 tons of sand daily. The Calumet & Hecla is spend ing thousands of dollars on its Torch Lake plant to recover larger percent age of copper and to treat it's great pile of tailings. Many mines are also spending money on mechanical haul age and working out intensive mining systems whereby more rock can be mined and hoisted per man employed than was customary under old sys- tens.

Same Old Stuff"
 Shoots at Rattler And Discouers Gold

Same old stuffi-For several years
 w. k. Noble freighted mine supplies
 drought the Calico canyon iE Nevada.
 On his last trip, early in December. his wagon broke down, and as it was nearly time for camping. he hobbled
 his mules, built a fire, supped ana rolled himself in his blanket and went to sleep. Toward morning he awoke. kicked the embers together and then noticed, against an enormous rock on the other side of the fire a coiled rat tlesnake, now aroused and threatening The instant shot from Noble's revol- yer passed through the snakes head and struck the rock, chipping off . large scale and revealing. in the light of the fire. some glittering substance Noble's experienced eyes told him that il was gold. With his axe he chipped off few pounds of the mixed rock and ore, rode one of the mules into Elko and got an assay. It showed S150 gold and 300 ounces of silver to the ton. Two or three days blasting into the rock revealed true rich vein, and a party Of men paid him $50,0O0 cash for his claim. Noble has driven past that rock some scores of times and have prospected all through that canyon. Had that rat tier been two feet to the right or left of where it was that rich deposit would still be an unknown and un- worked vein.-Engineering and Min ng Journal.

VERDE SQUAW WILL
 SOON BE IN ACTION
Engineer And Crew Now En- gagged In Adjusting Machin- cry; New Ore Opened Up In Boulder Tunnel.

JEROME, June 16.-Two weeks more. at the very most, will see the Verde SQuaw's machinery in operation, and three weeks will see the machine drills biting into the wall which sep arates the Barter tunnel from the great ore body which crops nearly 100 feet wide on the side of the mountain 200 feet above.
 The engine which is to drive the compressor was set on its concrete yesterday. The work of erecting an engine Louse over both the hoist and compressor was immediately under taken. Superintendent William Kin keiman and w.of expert engineers are adjusting the machinery, making connections and otherwise preparing for the day when the engine viii turn over for the first time.
 It will require about a week after the machinery is running to enlarge the Barter tunnel so that men can work comfortably there, and there will De no delay in tramming the muck out to the dump. It is estimated that the face of the tunnel is not over 30 feet from the ore, and the copper may be even closer than that
 A cook house and bunk house are also being erected The men who were working in the winze from the Boulder tunnel were taken from that work and set to building. Before work was suspended in the winze they op- ened ore which looks even better than the 3 1-2 per cent schist recently dis closed there. The schist is blacker and evidently carries slightly higher percentage of copper sulpnide. The bottom of the winze is 30 feet from the tunnel level.

UNITED EASTERN MILL
 SKATERS ALL RECORDS
Plant Handles On Average of 252 Tons Every A Hours During May; Tom Reed Mill Also Doing G O o d Work.

OATMAN, Ariz., June 16.-The May record for the United Eastern mill surpassed any months total since the plant was placed in operation. No less than 7,800 tons were treated, an aver age of 252 tons every A hours. Au- thorities agree that this is unprece- dented as it means an excess of over 25 per cent above the designed capac- ity of the mill. It is the usual experi- ence that plants of this character rare ly equal the stated capacity, while If they happen to run in excess of that amount, it is matter for extended comment.
 Yet the United Eastern mill has av- eraged about 220 tons day for the past three months, which is 10 per cent above capacity. The gross values for May were somewhat lower than for April, but still in the neighbor- hood of S20 per ton, which constitutes high grade ore as compared with the average yield of mines throughout the country.
 The Tom Reed mill is also establish ing a splendid record for the first two weeks. Runs of 250 tons a day are common and no accident has delayed the operation of the new plant. It is regarded by mill and metallurgical ex- perts to be an exceptional engineering feat to have installed complete new plant in a building occupied by an old one without the loss of single hours time in the operation of either the old or new mill.
 A contract for advancement of the drift in the 0atman Crescent workings for a distance of 250 feet to the east has been let and work has started on this program of development. This will bring the drift in to the ore shoot which was explored by the upper tun- nel last summer.
 Work will be commenced very sCJn on the Gold Road Annex shaft, which sinking to the 5O0-foot level. The Gold Road Annex property lies east and north of the old Gold Road and it is the opinion of many engineers that the present Gold Road vein. where a large body of commercial ore has been opened up. extends into the Gold Road Annex ground. A plant will be in- stalled for sinking the shaft, which is now 125 feet deep.
 Manager A. G. Heating, of the new Big Jim Consolidated, is making final preparations for commencing active work on the Blue Bird property of the company. The compressor is here and the engine has been shipped and when the plant is installed the shaft will be lowered to the 5O0-foot level as rapidly as possible.

JEROME PORTLAND IS FORGED 10 SUSPEND
 BY BIG WATER FLOW

JEROME, June 16-Water rose to within 100 feet of the Jerome Port lands 500-foot shaft during the strike. All the pumps are under water. and present prospects are that operations cannot be resumed before ten days or two weeks have elapsed
 Heavy bailers have been sent for, and it is possible that they will be delivered tomorrow. As soon as the first pump is uncovered rapid progress can be made in unwatering the shaft
 The old gsllows frame has been re. placed with one 55 feet high, which has two sheave wheels. This will ex- pedite bailing, and also shaft opera tions when the water problem is set tied

COPPER CHIEF WILL
 HAVE NEW OPERATIONS

JEROME. June 16.-A new plan of operations is under consideration for the Copper Chief Superintendent J. T. Watson is not in a position to disclose the details, but intimated that it might be along the line of deep develop ment.
 Since this strike the Copper Chief has been moving at about half-speed. Before the walk-out about forty men were employed. but now only 20 are on the payroll.
 Things are in a rather unsettled state just now" explained the super intendent. We have a new plan un- der consideration. and until we map out our future line of work We will run along short handed"
 It is believed locally that the new plan of development involves the showing of copper recently opened on the Wonderful claim.

VENTURE HILL IS
 HITTING OLD GAIT

JEROME, June 16.-Operations are in. progress at the Venture Hill on practically the same scale that pre- vailed before the strike. Two shifts are being worked and each shift puts the shaft down approximately three feet into soft schist impregnated with chalcopyrite.
 Every particle of rock that comes from the shaft is shot through with chalcopyrite. Superintendent E. l.. Bartholomew has sent some samples over to Prescott to be assayed. His estimate is that the schist in which the shaft is bottomed will average around four or five per cent copper
