are going to find work in the district, | inasmuch as competence and American | citizenship are qualifications now be- ing demanded.
 In these latter desirable features of change in the Arizona copper districts, Jerome set the pace and 1t appears that it is going to hold it. Bisbee has followed with more rigidity, but there has been no less of the spirit in Jerome. At this time the Jerome determination is to keep it's district clean and it can be said that the citizens committes, composed of all classes of workers, both with and without union affilia- tion, are alert to nip in the bud any future attempt on the part of l. W. w. and other radicals to again get a hand into local affairs.
 Prescott PRESCOTT, Sept. 1.-Abundant Wa ter and feed in the mountains, with the country washed clean and every out standing cropping and ledge brought forth in its clear clors of minerdliZa- tion, brings to the prospector opportu- nlty and lure such as has not prevailed Tn many seasons in the mountain coun- try Of the state. Everywhere the rains have been heavy during the summer season. They have caused much wash Ing and erosion and there is probably more new country, washed free from overflow and debris and broken away by caving, awaiting the eye of the prospector than in many years in the state. The prospector IS not overlook ing the bet. Quitting for this sort of work throughout the mining country has been felt in all of the trading l centers.

 MAYTR, Ariz., Sept. 1.-So far this month, the output of the Arizona Bing hamton mine has been very satisfac l tory to the management It is expected 1 that the total in copper returns at the end Of next week will be far ahead of l any months work since the Notation mill started to handle ore just a year i ago. With scarcely days loss, the mill has been run over capacity for ! the past twelve months The first days | run showed a saving of 90 per cent A second unit has but recently been i added to the plant, which makes it I possible to treat 250 to 300 tons daily ] The daily average is from 160 to 200 1 tons. The ore averages better than 3 1 per cent copper The mine is also pro- i ducing a carload of high-gade ore which runs between 13 and 14 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 formation | at several points to determine the size of known ore bodies that have been en- countered in drifts. It has been proven that the several bodies of ore go down as is shown by the newest work on the 600-foot level.
 Mine Superintendent s. E. Clancy, who has not been in charge of the mine long, is whipping things into shape rap idly. On the 200-foot level an old drift was turned into a crosscut with the result that the big ore shoot on the 1 lO0-foot level was e. cuunteyed bigger than ever. It has been drifted on far enought to determine the width to be from 10 to Is feet. and the length will be approximately 16O feet. There is | considerable high grade in this shoot and the average of the milling ore is | about three and one-half per cent cop per.
 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- hamton 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 superintendent Claude Ferguson. The 300-foot Winze has been unwatered at addition No. 2 There is considerable old workings at the bottom of this winze which are to be sampled. The wiaze is to be sunk another 200 feet with drifts at each level At addition No. l, which is 1900 feet south, a 900-foot shaft is develop ing separate ore system to that at Adit No. ? at which level, most of the work has been done There are half a dozen or more very promising out croppings of ore which show strong teaching at the surface.
 o. McD. Bywaters. of RoXton, Tex encountered shipping ore in a shaft he is putting down on property south of the Copper Queen. He has interested capital in Texas. The Agua Fria M and M. company is about to be organ ized to carry on the development of the property. No stock will be offered for sale on the market.
