COPPER AGE MILL
 WILL BE READY
 FOR USE BY JUNE 1

The 15O-ton capacity Copper Age mill is expected to be in operation not later than June 1. Nearly all the machinery has arrived and has been installed. Worlmen are now engag- ed in putting the rolls in place and in adjusting belts throughout the mill. The 100 horsepower engine that is to provide power to turn the mill machinery will be given tryout some day this week. To all appear ances the mill has been well construct ed and is complete in every way. The process used has not been given a test in a plant of this size, but in the Fl Paso plant it is said to have given a high degree of satisfaction.
 In the Copper Age mine three shifts are driving the lower main working tunnel, which is in 400 feet, and the vein drifted on about 90 east and west. The vein was crosscut in each drift about 20 feet back from the present faces and the ore found to be of an excellent quality and of a better width than above.
 The oreshoot was proven to be 520 feet in length on the upper tunnel level, with the ore swelling in places to as high as seven feet. Not all the ore is of that width, of course, the oreshoot frequently reducing to a few inches, then swelling again to a foot or perhaps several feet of good ore.
 The company expects to press the machine drills into service in both the upper and lower tunnels this week, the 3OO-foot capacity compressor be- ing in readiness to provide pressure.
 Foundations have been laid for a 75O-foot capacity compressor, which has been ordered, but which has been delayed in leaving the factory, like machinery of all sorts.

Two feet of fine ore, which is showing tendency to increase its dimensions, is now showing in the bottom, the character of the ore being identical with that found above, with the ex- ception of a radical increase in zinc values. The yellow iron that invari- ably carries good gold values is also in evidence seemingly in the usual quantities, indicating a preservation of the gold values, which, with the increased zinc content, probably will increase the average assay value of the vein.
 The owners of the Schenectady have let a contract with local mining men to sink the shaft to the 4OO-foot point. Since beginning work the contractors have gone down fifty feet and are making four feet daily. Three shifts are employed. Machine drills are be- ing used.

COPPER INDUSTRY
 IN ARIZONA ACTIVE ON ACCOUNT OF WAR

PRESCOTT, Ariz., May An Ari- zona, the wonder copper state, much is often heard of the more recent min ing developments in the fields adjoin- ingthe United Verde Extension (Little Daisy) and the Magma, but engineers well versed in the mining business do not limit their investigations nor ac- tivities to the well-known districts. All throughout the IA counties of Arizona, wherever indications may seem favorable, activity is now being noticed, so that during the next few months several new producers may be added to the list of already well known copper properties.
 Recently the San Juan mine, con- sisting of thirteen claims, or approxi- mately 26O acres, located in the Lone Star mining district of Graham coun-

STEFFY CUSTOM MILL MACHINERY HAS ARRIVED;
 HAULING STARTS

The Steffy custom mill has received practically all the machinery that is to go into that plant, the last big shipment, consisting of two carloads, valued at S1O,OOO, reaching camp on Wednesdays train. All the teams and motor trucks available have been en- gagged to haul this machinery from the railroad to the plant and its installa- tion is a matter of only a short time, MT. Steffy stating that he will in all probability be ready to receive ore at the stated time.
 Mir. Steffy advises that all those contemplating having their ore treat ed should not delay the signing of constructs, as there is now three times as much ore offered as the plant will be capable of handling. The manage ment plans to do all possible to give every small operator a chance, and to do this will have to exclude several of the larger producers or at least con siderably reduce their offerings. This is the opportunity that so many small property owners have been praying for and it is only fair to the mill owners that ore should be booked at once.
 The mill has been designed on broad lines and the benefits to be derived from it's operation will be felt almost immediately. In addition to the stimulus it will give to mining, the work of getting 25O tons daily to the mill will call for a large fleet of trucks so the good effect that this mill will have on the district will radiate in numerous directions.

EMERALD ISLE IS
 INSTALLING POWER

The Emerald Isle is having the cleo tric power brought into its camp, the Desert Power and Water company having a force of men setting poles and stringing wire from their main line, which passes within half mile of the copper company's plant. The electric current is to be used to assist in precipitating the red metal and also to aid in recovering the sulphuric acid, which in the process used amounts to quite an item and which is now com pletely lost. It is understood that with the aid of electricity about 80 per cent of the acid will be recovered.
 The Emerald Isle company esti- mates that the present proven tonnage of ore is 100000 tons, which will ave rage 2.85 per cent copper. Their tests show that a net recovery of 2.5 per cent copper is being made.
 They have just completed four large

YAVAPAI COUNTY
 SUES ID PREVENT
 SALARY PAYMENT
From Sundays Daily Minerl


 PRESCOTT, May 5.-To restrain Yavapai county "from paying said un- lawful increase. or any part thereof on the 7th day of May, 1917, or at any time," William Stephens, chairman of the board of supervisors, and W. C.. Wingfeld, each in their capacity as private citizens, have sued the board of supervisors and the members and clerk.
 This is the promised suit of the chairman of the board to prevent the paying of salaries under the law passed at the recent session of the legislature, to elective officers of this county, and further, to test the strength of that law in the light of a paragraph in the Arizona constitu- tion, which says that the salary of no elective official shall be increased or diminished during his term in office.
 It was on the recommendation of County Attorney E. J. Mitchell, who based his action on an opinion hand ed down by the attorney general, that the board, by a vote of Stukey and Jaeger to Stephens decided to draw the salary warrants in the new amounts adding in the neighborhood of S3O,OOO per year to the county's official payroll.

KINGMAN DEFEATS CHLORIDE 5 ID 2 IN
 AN EXCITING GAME

CHLORIDE, May 7.-Kingman de- feated Chloride Sunday in the best played game ever seen in Chloride, if not in the county. The game was marked by the abesnce of the usual arguments when these two teams tan gle up. The umpiring of Johnson and Davidson was very good, which in a measure accounted for the snappy playing of both teams.
 In the first inning Bale lead off by getting to first on four balls. Rob- inson hit a line drive over second, which Brashear speared with one hand and doubled Able. It was a sensation al play. Price flied out to center. Chloride went out in order in their half.
 Orendorff was walked in the second. Hansen famed, but Webster hit a double, scoring Orendorff. Archie fli- ed to center and Grantham ended the inning by flaming.
 In Chloride's half Brashear hit a line drive between left and center for three bags and scored when the ball was poorly returned from the outfeld. Jacobson went out, short to first, Ryan popped to second and Sais famed.
 In the third Kingman made three hits, but failed to score owing to Kings good work behind the bat. Clark was called safe on a hairline decision at first, but was picked off a ment later by King. Able popped to short. Robinson hit a double and Price followed with a single, but was caught stealing, King to Brashear.
 The score stood one to one until the fifth, when Kingman scored twice. Archie hit to Sais, who made a bad peg to first, allowing him to go to sec and. On a missed hit and run play he was thrown out at third. Gran tham singled and Tommy Clark SCOT
Mohave County miner., 1917-05-12

ed him on a long three-bagger to the railroad track. Able followed with another single, scoring Tommy. On another attempted hit and run play Robinson hit a foul to Menable and Able was doubled.
 No further scoring was done until the ninth, when Orendorff started the fireworks with double to right. Han sen was walked, Webster whiffed and Archibald scored both men with a triple. Grantham famed a nd Clark went out, Brashear to Venable.
 After White and King were out Brashear hit another line drive, which was stopped by a pile of cauctus, and he had to be satisfied with one base. Webster dropped Jacobson's pop-up. Ryan poked out hit past base, SCOT ing Brashier and Jacobson was thrown out at the plate for the last putout.
 Tommy Clark pitched one of his best games and deserved his victory. Chlo- ride played a good defensive game, but it takes hits to win ball games. Chlo- ride will play return game at King man on May 20, and promises to bring much stronger team, so that another exciting game is promised the fans on that date.

Auto Saved, He
 Leaves Without
 Word Of Thanks
CFrom saturday's DaiIy Minerl

Early yesterday an automobile driven by a tourist had a near call to complete destruction by fire. The garage man at the Old Trails was call ed upon to furnish gas and had just completed the job when the inquisitive gentleman wanted to take a look to satisfy himself that he was getting his moneys worth. He carried a lighted carbide lamp and struck the flame against the still dripping hose, when there was an immediate explosion, burning oil being thrown over the rear end of the machine and onto the ce- ment walk. After some effort the machine was showed away from the. gas holder and a chemical extinguish- CT brought into play. Before the fire was extinguished the upholstering on the car and part of a suitcase were burned. The loss was considerable, but the tourist departed without thanking the bystanders for their eff fort in saving the car.

SCHENECTADY SHAFT
 NOW DOWN 62O FEET

The Schenectady, which resumed work only a few days ago after a short shut down to install machinery needed in sinking the shaft deeper, is creeping to the front in providing mining development news of more than usual interest. The incline shaft, which will be sunk to the 5OG-foot level, has attained depth of 260 feet. The ore-shoot that opened up so sat- isfactorily on the 175 foot level, is being followed and is proving to be equally as good where the miners are now working as in the upper workings.

.PRUNE PEDDLERS
 WALLOP HUNGRY
 NINE; SCORE 1O-2

An, ha! The Arizona Stores bunch (Prune Peddlers) won a game. After making themselves at home in the Arizona Stores for several weeks, a great bunch of "Glooms" were yester- day put to flight by an invading army of "Joys" when the Prune Peddlers walloped the Hungry Nine (Kingman's old first team) to the tune of 1O-2. The Peddlers were aided by the Butchers, thus easily romping home with the bacon.
 The game was as pretty a battle as one could wish to see up to the eighth inning. In the eighth the Hungry Nine blew up, due, they claim, to the fact that two of their best men had to go home and feed the chickens. At any rate they blew up and the man who invented baseball must have set up in his grave and gnawed great hunks out of his tombstone. When the smoke cleared away the Peddlers had added eight runs to their previous collection Of four.
 From the second inning to the eighth no runner passed first base. Alright ball among amateurs is un- usual, to say the least, and it fulflls 9 previous prediction that better play ing would result from the early clos ing of business houses. The boys now have ample opportunity for practice and are taking full advantage of it.
 The features of the day were the pitching of George and Carey, and the brilliant fielding of Phil Smith, former third sacker for the first team.
 Notwithstanding the awful suspense under which the fans are laboring, the team is unable to announce who will be the victims next Sunday. The Daily Miner will publish the name of the op- posing team in an early issue.
