mill. The crosscut on the 600 leve
has cut through one of the stronges
veins of ore to be found in the state
1t is a continuation of the same veiI
that has been cut through on all Of
the upper levels. 1t settles for good
the permanency of the ore bodies in
this mine and in fact in the wholc
copper mountain district. 1t has rui

which are developing properties il

and found the ore. Now that the for

been read" it will be an easier mat.
ter. according to Superintendent Cha.
ney, to follow down the several ore
bodies in the mine and the knowledge
he has learned will be of great help
to other developing companies in the
same district.
The Rio Tonic Mining company has
been organized to take over the Pat
ton copper mine which is located o
ton and Copper Queen mines. 1t was
owned by John Patton and Warren
Davis of Mayer W. D. Mahoney and
P. j. Mcintyre of Jerome are the
principals in the new deal. Extensive
work is to begin within so days. The
property is well developed and consid-
cradle high grade and milling ore has
been exposed. The company will be
sufficiently financed to carry out ex-
tensive development work. The prop
erty shows the extension of some of
the ore veins that have been founo
on the big mines north. The officers
of the company are: President. P.
Mcintyre; vice president, J. W. Jones
Of Kingman, and secretary treasurer,

The Copper Mountain Mines compa-
ny is working force of a dozen men
at the old Stoddard mine on the north
end of Copper mountain. A gas hoist
has been installed and one of the old
shafts is being retimbered. This com
pany is a reorganization of the old
Stoddard Copper company. which OPP
Grated extensively quarter of cen
fury ago. The new company is CAPT
talized for 100000 shares, par value
$10O The old mine is one of the
best developed on Copper mountain,
with many shoots of high grade and
milling ore exposed which were de-
veloped when only rich ore could be
handled. The close utilization of this
company with the Arizona Bingnamp-
ton, mile north, in the management
viii mean that the experience OF de-
veloping the lower workings of the
Binghampton will be used in the ex-
tensive development of the Stod-
dard mine. Celora Stoddard is
president and general manager of the
new company. Senator Reynolds, OF
New York, is vice president. and NJ
A. Pickett, of Phoenix, is secretary and
treasurer.
There are increasing indications OF
ore in the tunnel that is being run on
South Copper Mountain by the. Monte

the mine that was taken over last
summer by w. A. Tucker. John Ross
and James Smith, of Bisbee The tun-
mel is being run to tap a strong vein
of copper that was followed down in
a shaft so feet The formation has
changed and some chalcopyrite has
appeared in the last drillings.
The announcement made by the
Black Canyon Mining company that
flotation mill is to be erected at the
mine five miles below Turkey means
a great deal to this high grade silver
lead camp. The mine was originally
located by ]. D.. Thompson, of Pres
colt. eight years ago shortly after he
had reported favorably on the El Ii
gre gold mine in Mexico. 1t was
Thompson's report that induced the
Kansas City and Bisbee people to buy
the property which has since develop

son partly developed this Black Can
