AUGUST OUTPUT FOR BINGHAMPT0N SAID
 TO BE VERY LARGE
New Development on Prop erty Investigated by Mining Men - High Grade Ore Opened on 200 Level of the Mine

MAYER, AriZ., Sept. 1.-In August the output of the Arizona Binghamton mine has been very satisfactory to the management. It is expected that the total in copper returns will be far ahead of any months work since the Notation mill started to handle ore just a year ago. With scarcely a days loss the mill has been run over capacity for the past F months. The first days run showed a saving of 95 per cent. A second unit has but re- gently been added to the plant which makes it possible to treat 250 to 300 tons daily. The daily average is from 1S0 to 200 tons. The ore averages better than per cent copper. The mine is also producing a carload of high grade ore which runs between 13 and IA per cent copper.
 Extensive exploration work is to be started soon on the lower levels of this mine with diamond drills. The first work will be to crosscut the for nation at several points to determine the size of known ore bodies that have been encountered in drifts. It has been proven that the several bodies of ore go down as is shown by the newest work on the 6O0-foot level.
 Mine Superintendent s. E. Clancy, who has not been in charge of the mine long. is whipping things into shape rapidly. On the 200-foot level an old drift was turned into a cross cut with the result that the big ore shoot on the 100-foot level was en- countered bigger than ever. It has been drifted on far enough to deter mine the width to be from 10 to 15 feet and the length will be approxi- mately 160 feet. There is consider able high grade in this shoot and the average of the milling ore is about Sk per cent copper.
 The Copper Queen Gold company. which has the adjoining mine on the east with parallel ore veins. has dis continued furnishing ore to the Bing- hampton mill, although there is a joint agreement existing between the two companies for the ore treatment The company proposes to carry out an elaborate system of development on the suggestion of the mine super intendent, Claude Ferguson. The 300- foot winze ha been unwatered at Adit No. 9 There is considerable old workings at the bottom of this winZe, which are to be sampled. The winze is to be sunk another 200 feet with drifts at each level. At Adit No. 1. which is 1900 feet south. a 9OOfoot shaft is developing a separate ore sys- tenn to that at Adit No. 2, at which level most of the work has been done There are half dozen or more very

Little Ajo Company Is Work ing Drill-No Indication Yet Had of What Has Been Found-Another Property Drills

AJO, Sept. 1.-DiamOnd drilling is being done on two properties adjoin- Ing New Cornelia. And if either effort Is successful the camp will be helped.
 It is not known how far either com pany wauld go in development if ore is struck. Yet the striking of ore would encourage other companies, at any rate, to start mining operations.
 The diamond drill hole being put down by the Little Ajo company has reached a depth of about $50 feet. The formation has changed and the outlook is hopeful.

FULL COMPLIMENTS OF MEN WORKING
 IN JEROME MINES
Properties in the Verde Dis trict Are Again at Normal Production After Trying Conditions for Months

JEROME, AriZ., Sspt. Tt is not able that in this camp, where in the l. w. w. cleanup and labor clarifica- ton work in Arizona started with the deportation of 76 leading I. w. w. just prior to the Bisbee deportations, has regained full complements of men in most of it's mines and again has sur plus labor on its streets, although dur ing the strike periods of May and June it lost large part of it's working popualtion through the departure of men who wished to avoid trouble.
 The labor filling the mines at this time numbers many new faces and the proportion of Americans is larger than probably ever before in the history of the district. The tendency is to in crease this proportion as rapidly as possible. The idle men are in the main foreigners, mostly of doubtful competence, and it is not likely that they are going to find work in the dis trict, inasmuch as competence and American citizenship are qualifications now being demanded.
 In these latter desirable features of change in the Arizona copper districts, Jerome set the pace and it appears that it is going to hold it. Bisbee has followed with more rigidity, but there has become less of the spirit in ter ome. At this time the Jerome de- termination is to keep its district clean and it can be said that the citi- zens' committees, composed of all classes of workers, both with and without union utilization, are alert to nip in the bud any future attempt on the part of l. w. w. and other radicals to again get hand into local affairs.
 Erosion TeIps Prosp ector
 Abundant water and feed in the mountains, with the country washed clean and every outstanding cropping and ledge brought forth in its clear colors of naturalization, brings to the prospector opportunity and lure such as has not prevailed in many seasons Everywhere the rains have been heavy during the summer season. They have caused much washing and erosion and there is probably more new country washed free from over flow and debris and broken away by eaving, awaiting the eye of the pros pector. than in many years in the state. The prospector is not overlook Ing the bet. Quitting for this sort of work throughout the mining coun- try has been felt in all of the trading centers.

promising outcroppings of ore which show a strong teaching at the surface. The secondary enrichment is expected to be strong.
 There will probably be no more ore treated at any place until the com pany has it's own mill built and in operation. At recent meeting of the directors at the mine it was decided to put every cent into the ground and develop a mine that would supply a mill of large capacity. The mine with the present amount of development can supply 100 tons daily.
 Announcement is expected to be made in few days of the beginning of extensive development work on the old Stoddard mine at the north end of Copper mountain, which is owned by the Stoddard Copper company, which is controlled by Senator Key holds and Celera Stoddard. The com pany is in the process of being re-or- ganized. A hoist and air compressor and other machinery are to be taken from the Burlington mine to the new work at the Stoddard. The old Stod- dard mine is one of the oldest cop per producers on Copper mountain and it is considered to be one of the most promising properties in that district. O. McD. Bywaters of Roxton, Texas, encountered shipping ore in a shaft he is putting down on a property south of the Copper Queen. He has interested capital in Texas. The Agua Fria M. & M. company is about to be organized to carry on the develop ment of the property. No stock will be offered for sale on the market
 Everything is on the move around this portion of the Copper mountain district. Every truck available in Mayer and every team is at work hauling the high grade and the con. centrates from the mines to the depot for shipment to the Humboldt smell ter. There will soon be other pro. ducers in the same district.

 SINKING SHAFT
 AT TERRIFIC RATE
Verde Combination Expects to Reach 70O-foot Level by the End of Next Week - Expect to Find Ore on the Contact

JEROME, Sept. In the last three weeks. the Verde Combination shaft has been sunk 115 feet, and every shaft man employed earned bonus of $25. When the round was shot this morning, six feet of progress had been made in the last "A hours and the shaft was down to the 6O0-foot level
 The formation is schist that is splendid drilling ground. It now shows more pyrite than appears any where above in the shaft. and along with the iron is some chalcopyrite.
 Manager Morgan announced today that a station will be cut at 700 feet and a crosscut run 10 the contact, which will be about POO feet to the north. If the present rate of speed is maintained the shaft will be down to 700 feet about September 5. Cross cutting should be actually under way by the middle of September.
 It is expected that an ore body will be found along the contact of the schist with the great porphyry bar which intrudes the formation from northeast to southwest. It is possible of course, that greater depth will have to be attained before rich ore is found but present indications are that the zone of secondary enrichment does not lie more than 100 feet deeper.
 Preparations are being made for electric machinery at the Combination. A double-drum electric hoist, capable of hoisting 5000 pounds 1.5O0 feet, has been ordered from Denver and is ex- pected on the ground in about 25 days A 325-foot compressor. a duplicate of the one now in use, has been ordered from Fl Paso. An electro pump with a capacity of 150 gallons a minute has also been ordered and it will be in stalled at the 700-foot station. All the water now making in the shaft IS easily handled by bailing.
 Arrangements for current have been made with the Arizona Powef com pany, which has promised to build the necessary transmission line and install transformers by September 15.
