lola Launched Tuesday

The lola, the boat recently pur-
chased by the Western Arizona Cop
per company, was finally put into
the water last Tuesday. At the
time the waters of the Colorado river
receded several months ago, the boat
was left high and dry on the shore,
near the site of the Parker Gable
Ferry.
The lola left Wednesday for a trip
up river to the property of the West
ern Arizona Copper company with
load of supplies. General Manag-
er Gordon Steuart supervised the
launching of the craft, and succeed
ed in getting it into the water with
out any serious damage The lola
will be used by the company in car
rying supplies to its property and
bringing down ore for shipment to
the smelter from this point.

Cleanup Day Saturday.

The Woman's Club of Parker has
designated Saturday, March 10, as
Cleanup Day. The club has ap-
pointed special committees to advise
everybody to clean up all old tin
cans and rubbish on their premises
and place in boxes, and on Saturday
teams will call to haul the stuff
away free of charge. The club
members are paying the expenses of
hauling, and it seems that the least
everybody could do would be to pick
up the cans and rubbish and have it
ready for the teams. Every member
of the club will be out working on
Cleanup Day,and the ladies have de-
cided to make a thorough job of
cleaning out the rubbish that litters
the yards of many residences and va
cant lots.

Sulphides in Copper Giant.

II. M. Hamlin, general manager of
the Arizona Copper Gold company, is
preparing to start operations on the
Copper Giant mine, which is located
about one mile south of the Copper
Basin property. 1t is probable that
the Copper Giant shaft will be sunk
to greater depth, as an excellent
showing of sulphide ore has been
opened in this working from the sur
face to it's present depth of 80 feet.
Mr. Hamlin brought some rich sam
pies into town this week from this
property, and in addition to the ore
showing in the shaft he has discov-
cred another outcrOp of sulphide ore
carrying good values in copper not
far distant from the Copper Giant
shaft.

Missing Jackhammers Recovered.

Several weeks ago the Billy Mack
Mining company lost two jackham-
mers from the local Santa Fe station
after they were receipted for by one
of the company's employees. Every
effort was made to locate the mach
inery, but no clue could be obtained
as to who took the boxes containing
the goods. Last week Col. William
Henery Dove, general manager of
the company, decided to advertise for
the missing articles in The Post. and
the following day after the ad. ap-
peared the Billy Mack company had
possession of it's lost jacEhammers.
1t pays to advertise, especially in

Work Starts on New Hotel.

Work was started Monday on the
proposed new modern hotel and store
building to be constructed by o. M.
Spence, president of the Commercial
Bank, at the corner OF California
and Arizona avenues. on the site for
merly owned by the Old Colorado Riv-
er Supply company.
Several years ago the Colorado Riv-
er Supply company started the con-
structiOn of a cement block store
building, but soon after building the
foundation and part of the walls with
cement blocks and a basement, the
company failed and went into bank
ruptcy.
This property was recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Spence from the ref
cree in bankruptcy for the purpose
of building a modern hotel and store
block The hotel will consist Of 80
rooms will occupy the entire SEC
ond story. A vida porch will sur
round the structure on Arizona and
California avenues, and the building
will be fire-proof throughout
The structure will be 50x15O feet,
and work will be rushed to compile
tion as fast as possible. The con-
tract has been let to Ora Page Of
Oatman, an experienced and we'll
known contractor.

Owing to striking water at $50 feet
slow progress has been made in sink

made has been of the most encOur-
aging kind.
The working is now down about
285 feet. and it is the intention of
the management to begin crosscut-

WORK ON DAM
TOSTART SOON
GIGANTIC SCHEME TO DEVELOP
POWER IN GRAND CANYON OF
THE COLORADO IS ASSUMING
DEFINITE SHAPE.

At last the big power dam project
in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
near the mouth of Diamond Canyon,
is assuming shape. A number OF en-
gineers and workmen are now in the
canyon and an engineer of the w.
L. Clark Construction company of
New York is also there looking into
the matter Of construction, says the
Kingman Daily Miner.
Engineer ]. B. Girand, who has
been fathering the project, was at
the canyon a few days ago and ex-
poets to have the initial steps in con-
struction under way within the next
month. The construction company
is checking up the estimates of the
engineers, so that when the work is
commenced there will be no falling
down on account of miscOnceptiOn
of material needs.
The Grand Canyon, at the point
where the initial dam is to be con-
structed, is very narrow and the in
closing walls reach 1900 feet above
the water level. 1t is reached by a
wagon road from Peach Springs, 81
miles. The projectors will either
build a spur from the main line of
the Santa Fee or further improve the
roadway to allow of the use of auto
trucks in hauling in steel and ce-
ment. One hundred and fifty thou
sand sacks of cement will be used
in the first dam, while a greater
amount will be used in the other
two.
The initial dam will create power
for use in the building of the other
two. it being the intention Of the
company to build three of the pro-
posed five dams. for which permits
have been granted, at once. 1t Is
expected that it will take four years
to complete the three dams but the
first dam will be in commission full
ly two years before the others are
completed and harnessed. At least
1000 men will be employed in the
work.
When the dams are completed and
possibly before that time, a road will
be carried into the pine forests of the
great plateau on the north rim Of
the canyon, and mills will be oper-
ated and timbers brought across for
market in this section of the country.
The mines of that section will also
be reached by short electric lines.
The excess power will be also used
in the recovery of nitrates from the
air and for other uses
1t is possible that the Santa Fe
will be electrified over the noun
tains and through the desert, where
now oil burning engines are oper-
ated at heavy cost. Blu, one of the
greatest of all possibilities is the re-
duction of the present heavy power
costs of the mines and mills of this
part of Arizona with only one power
company in the field.
With hydro-power mines that are
now operating with gas or Oil en-
gines can cheaper the casts OF op-
Grafton greatly. Hydro-power could
be distributed for less than $500 per
horsepower month, while at tae pres
ent time it is said to be costing from
$500 to $500 with steam geuerat-
ed power. So general would be the
uses of this new power that few
places in the northern part OF this
state could operate without it. With
the three dams in commission a mil
lion horsepower could be generated.
and southern Utah and Nevada could
be brought under its beneficent in
fluence.

PRIDE STRIKES
RICHOREBODY
AT A DEPTH OF 130 FEET THE
PRIDE ENCOUNTERS HIGH
GRADE COPPER ORE-COPPER
BASIN SHAFT CONTINUES IN
ORE. n

One of the important develop
ments of the week in this district
was the striking Of what has every
indication of being an immense ore
shoot OF copper ore in the Pride
shaft Last week this paper briefly
mentioned the appearance Of the new
ore body as just coming into the
bottom OF the shaft, but during the
past few days the orebody is opening
up wonderfully, and now shows in
over one-half of the big double-com-
partment shaft.
The ore shoot is widening with
every shot, and the management an
ticipates, from present indications,
that the entire shaft will be in high
grade copper ore before the week is
ended
The crew employed in sinking the
Pride shaft consists of former Bisbee
miners, who declare that the forma-
tion at the Pride and the character
of the ore are identical to that Of
the Bisbee district. Every miner on
the job is elated over the big strike,
as all of them own stock in the prop
erty.
At the 100-foot level a crosscut
was run As feet before encountering
the hanging wall the entire orebody
running about $12 to the ton.
What is supposed to be the hanging
wall at this level is now being brOk-
en- into to ascertain the character of
the formation on the other side.
Thursday the Pride shaft had at
tanned a depth of about 1873 feet, and
as sinking progresses developments
are being watched with close inter-
est by the mining men in that sec
tion of the district.
Copper Basin Shaft in Ore.
AS depth is being gained in the
Copper Basin shaft copper values are
increasing in proportion. The en-
tire shaft is in high-grade sulphides,
carrying copper values as high as 26
per cent.
The Copper Basin shaft at the
surface followed slip at an angle Of
about As degrees to a depth of 125
feet At this point another fault
occurred, but the shaft was continu-
ed at the same dip. Just as good
grade of ore was encountered after
the working left the wall of the slip
as before, and since then several
slips have been encountered, but the
ore has not diminished in quantity
or values; in fact the values have
been on the increase.
Every indication points to a big

NEW STRIKES
MADE DAILY
MINING DISTRICTS OF NORTHERN
YUMA COUNTY ARE TEEMING
WITH ACTIVITY--NEW COM
PANIES ENTERING FIELD.

The Wendnl, Cunningham Pass,
Salome, Bouse and Harqua Hala
mining districts are keeping pace
with other parts of northern Yuma
county in mine development and ac-
tivity. Rich strikes of gold and cop
per ore are being reported almost ev-
cry day, and investors are getting
into these districts with real money
for development.
Development work is Icing push
ed with renewed VigOr at the mine
of the Wenden Copper company. fol-
lowing the two recent strikes Of
highgrade copper glance and gold
ore. The ore opened up is two and
one-half feet wide, and carries gold
values as high as $27 per ton. Pre-
parations are being made for ship
ping.
The old SOcOrrO mine, near Wen
den, is making preparations to re-
open. About twenty years ago the
SocOrro produced considerable high
grade ore, but at depth the values
seemed to give out. New ore bodies
have recently been discovered in this
mine, and it is said that it is to be
financed on a large scale at once.
The latest stock to be put on the
market in the Wenden district is that
of the Vindicator Mining company,
whose properties are located in Cum
ningham Pass. There has been con-
siderable development work done on
this property and it is stated the
last shipment of ore ran IS per cent
copper and some gold.
A complete new outfit of machin-
cry has been purchased and is being
installed at the Black Reef mine
The new equipment will enable sink
ing to be continued to a depth of 500
feet
The ore platforms at the Santa Fe
station at SalOme are we'll loaded and
of high grade will go out during the
coming week. One car will go to
the Selby smelter from the Price
mine between Cottonwood and Cum
ningham, and the Critic has a car
of high-grade on the platform ready
for shipment Leasers at the Critic
are expected to ship car during the
week and a number of smaller con-
signments will go to the Wickenburg
sampler.
A new corporation, the Wenden-
Verde Copper company, has been or
ganiZed to take over and develop the
Gold Hill claims and some of the
Davis and Fleming properties. New
ton Evans is president of the new
concern and it is planned to COM
mence development work about the
10th of this month.

New La Paz Placer Mines.

All the material for the installa-
tiOn of the pumping plant for the
New La Paz Gold Mining company
has been delivered by the Santa Fe
railroad at Bouse, and is now being
delivered at the property. The big
pumping station is located at the
old La Paz townsite
A Blythe we'll contractor has just
completed three wells, SIS feet deep,
16-inch casing, that will furnish an
abundance of water for the big
pumps to work upon. The new big
pumps are of the Dean pattern and
will be operated by a 250-horsepow-
er gasoline engine.
The water will be carried from the
pumping station to the mine. four and
one-half miles distant, through a 12-
inch pipe, where it will be delivered
into large reservoir.
The New La Paz Gold Mining COM
pany own a large area of righ placer
ground near QuartZsite, which it Is
preparing to work on an extensive
scale. Already there are twenty-five
men at work on the pipe line, reser-
vOir and mine development.
Four hundred tons of freight have
already been received at BOuse for
the property.

Mammon Hoist Installed.

The new hoist at the MammOn was
put into operation this week, and
the work of deepening the shaft to
the 400-foot level was begun Mon
day The shaft is being sunk on an
incline of about As degrees, and is
heading towards the immense copper
ledge opened by adits just south of
the shaft.
The Mammon is now we'll financed
it is said, and the company pro-
poses to carry on developments on an
extensive scale. Two shifts are to
be put on sinking and a force of
miners will be kept at work in the
upper tunnel levels taking out ore
for shipment.
General Manager E. S. Osborne
feels confident of striking a large
body of sulphide ore at depth, and
every effort will be put forth to
reach water level as quickly as posi-
ble An immense tonnage of car
Donate ore, carrying commercial
values in gold and copper, has
been opened by means of tunnels.
Red Metal Copper Company.
Another corporation that has just
been organized for the purpose of de-
veloping mineral territory in the
great Parker district is the Red
Metal Copper company. The arti-
cles of incorporation of the new
company were filed this week with
the Corporation Commission. The
capitalization is for $1,000,000, di-
vided into an equal number of shares
of the par value of $1.00 each. The
officers named to serve until the next
annual meeting of stockholders are
as follows:
President, E. A. Littlefield; vice
president, Lee Pritt; secretary, Fred
erick Hall; treasurer, o. M. Spence
These, with John Pritt, constitute
the directorate.
The property to be taken over by
the company is known as the Pritt
mines, which have been undergoing
development work for several years
by John and Lee Pritt. It's location
is just south of the Western Arizona
Copper company's holdings, former
ly known as the Guire ground.
The development work consists OF
several shafts and tunnels, in all OF
which good ore showings have been
made. The new company proposes
