MONTE CR|STO IS EXPECTED TO BE

Property Near Wickenburg, Owned Largely By Phoenix Hardware Man, is Expected to Produce Big Silver Ton. mage.

Wickenberg, Ariz., Sept. 29.-No substantial interest from those look ing for silver values at this time than is the outlying Bradshaw mountain mineralized area.
 is readily the most talked-of property, and at the same time there is less of fact in the hands of the public con corning it than about any other large all the public knows about the Monte Cristo is that a considerable force of men has been working on its devel- opment for years; that the property has been opened to the 500 level and that it has large and rich silver ore bodies ready for mining. It is known, too, that a pay day has never been skipped and that there has never been time when the operative employed there could not quit his job and get his pay envelop on the spot. without question or demur.
 The control of the Monte Cristo is owned by Ezra Thayer. of Phoenix. widely known as pioneer hardware dealer and contractor. Such stock as is outstanding is among friends of the owner of the control and amounts to but a small portion of the capitali- Zation. There has never been a time that it has not been of knowledge that any stockholder could at any time take his stock to Mir Thayer and get all it represented to him in cash. Mir. Thayer's idea has been to thoroughly develop and equip the property before beginning production. The latter period is now believed very close at hand and is expected to bring out one of the greatest silver pro ducers in Arizona history.

RICH COPPER ORE BODY IS
 DISCOVERED
Big Ledge Copper Company, Near Mayer, Reports Find of Great Vein of Four Per Cent Copper Ore.

Mayer, Ariz.. Sept. PA most re- markable body of high grade copper ore is being opened into by the Big Ledge Copper company at the Butter nut mine two miles northwest of here. At depth of 300 feet. the vein is ex- actly AS feet wide, the average value being 4 per cent copper At the 4z5 level, a crosscut is being run and so far l5 feet of the extension of the big vein on the 300 has been passed through and the value in copper has increased to an average of 10 per cent. Indications are that the vein will be found to be even wider at this 425 level than at the 300. for there is no indications that the crosscut has found the hanging wall. The finding of this high grade in such q large body settles the question of tonnage for the company's shelter in this camp. which is now to be rushed to completion. Dwight L. Woodbridge, the consulting engineer of the company, will arrive this week from Duluth. Plans are made for a large tonnage Notation mill at the Butternut mine to handle the immense amount of milling ore that has al- ready been developed in the upper workings.
 The finding of tl,is large ore body in the Butternut proves an entirely new camp in this Mayer district. The Blue Bell mine. owned b. the Con solidated Arizona Copper company. is stoping 40 feet of ore at the 1000 level and the Arizona Binghampton and Copper Queen companies are working on ore bodies of milling and high grade that will average better than 15 feet in width, at levels above the ACC. These mines are in sepa rate camps and they have very much the same ore. being principally a ohalcopyrite with slme chalcOcita On tEe lower levels. This whole sec ton is now receiving the attention of big capital for it has been proven thoroughly that the bodies of ore in the laVapai schlSt have great depth and increase in width and value. Min tug men who have been here the past few days are thoroughly interested in the development of the copper ore in this district.
 Drifting will begin in a few days at the new 1.2OO-foot level in the Blue Bell mine. The shaft has been sunk 200 feet deeper from the 1000 level It is expected that the big bodies of ore that are now furnishing close 10 200 tons of ore daily for the Hum boldt shelter, will be encountered St this new level. Considerable chalcO- cite has been coming into the ore at the 1000 level recently. which gives reason to believe that a higher grade of ore will be found at the 1900 level

SILVER AT PAR.

"Silver has gone above par" said a ticker tape reader. when. on Sep tember 15 it was quoted at 1OOh. You are mistaken" replied a better informed man who was reading the ticker. Tt is a long way from par A bet was quickly made and a ref cree appointed who. after much in vestigation handed down the follow ing sterling opinion:
 "A standard silver dollar contains STA grains of pure silver. and 41 IT ounces copper alloy. making up the total weight of 412ls grains A Troy ounce contains 4SO grains. By mul. tiplying the price of silver on any day by 371 1-4 and dividing by 4SO the result would be the bullion value of a islver dollar. At 100is it would be worth TIT cents. Not until sil- yer sells for 1929 cents an ounce will the silver in a dollar be worth 100 cents in gold. Therefore silver is not yet at par. and judgment is en- tered accOrdingly."-The Wall Street Journa Sltraws.

BIC ROYALTIES
 IPAID MINERALS SEPARATION %.
Immense Sum Paid To Own CTS of Patent flights for Flo- tation Process. Suits May Mean Greater Income.

While much has been published con- corning the court struggles of the Minerals Separation company in it's effort to validate its patents covering the so-called flotation process of treat ing copper and zinc ores. little has appeared in print concerning the act ual operating royalties involved when final settlement is had of all disput- ed issues.
 In this connection it may be inform ing to state that under the terms of an agreement entered into in 1915 between the Anaconda and Inspiration companies on the one hand and the Minerals Separation company on the other. the two mining companies re- ferred to are now paying royalties of but four cents per ton on their ores handled by Notation. It was provided that if desired the Greene-Cananea, Arizona Copper and Calumet & Ar;- zona companies might also be includ- ed in this special agreement. The arrangement provides that the li- censees shall pay upon tonnages treat ed by flotation upon the following basis:
 Up to 4.000 tons per day---..-12 cents From 4,OOO to 5000 tons..-..1O cents From 5000 to 10000 tons. 9 cents From 10000 to 3O,OOO tons. s cents Exceeding 3OOOO tons........ 4 cents
 In 1916 AnacOnda treated 5.462, ,703 tons of ore. Such of this as was con centrating ore would carry the four cents per ton royalty. Inspiration treated 5,316,S5O tons, practically all of which was concentrating ore. For the latter, therefore. the annual roy alty would be a matter of about S212,- 900.
 The so-called Jackling porphyries have vigorously contested the patent claims of the Minerals Separation company. The porphyries referred to Utah Copper, Ray Consolidated, Ne vada Consolidated and Chino - to- gether with Butte & Superior. a spell ter producer. treated last year a lit tie short of 22,OOO,OOO tons of orc,
Bisbee daily review., 1917-09-30

of which practically half represented Utah Copper.
 If the Minerals Separation company patents are finally and completely confirmed by the courts, it will be uD to the Jackling porphyries to nego- tiate some sort of settlement on ac- count of the ore already treated by the Minerals Separation company pro- cess without license, and to cover future operations. Anaconda and h. spiration did not care to contest the Separation company's patents and for themselves and for account of q few others which were admitted to the agreement, a highly favorable long-term contract on the basis of a royalty charge of 4 cents per ton of ore treated.
 Just what sort of a settlement can be made with the Jackling porphyries cannot at this time be prophesied Presumably these companies. if final ly defeated in the courts, will be will ing to be seen if onerous exactious will be enforced The scale of roy alties accepted as between the Min eral Separation company on the one hand and Anaconda and Inspiration on the other, is no criterion of the charges which will be levied against the Jackling porphyries.
 In order, however. to arrive at starting point, there is appended herewith some figures setting forth the ore tonnages of the Jackling con- panies in 1916 and there is placed against them an arbitrary treatment charge of eight cents per ton for the copper companies and 12 cents a ton for Butte & Superior, in order to as- certain what the annual royalty charge would be were this basis final ly agreed upon. Incidentally. it should be stated that there is no official bas- is for assuming the above treatment charge; it is purely arbitrary.
 The figures follow:
 Utah Copper 1O.994. .OOO O Sc SS79. .52O Ray Coons... 3,332,3O @S 266,5S Nevada Cons. 1922, 634 6S 3l3,S1O Chino .............. 3.O94, 400 QS 247.552 Butte & Sup. 627,37O Q12 75,2S4
 Total Q. ........21.97O,744 1.7S2,753
 It will be seen from the above that the five companies referred to are confronted with a total of $1.7S2, 900 as a possible royalty to be paid for the continued use of the Minerals Separation company's Notation pro- cess-by no means a burdensome to- tai, especially in view of the extra ordinary results made possible in in creased savings of copper by the use of this process. Of course the above figures are outside of any adjust ment yet to be made on account of damage claims.
