Flat district by Judge A. Peacock, of Ft. Worth, Texas, who has just organ ized the Circle Peak Mining company, taking over ten claims not far from the old Cumberlain mine and mill. There are about 100000 feet of choice pine timber covering the property. The ore carries good values at the surface nf copper, gold and silver. The company also has an option on the Cumberlain property, which, in the early days, was producer of high grade gold and sil- yer ore. The wagon road between these properties and Mayer is to be put in shape.
 Development work is to be com menced within a few days on the Pat ton mine which has been taken over by the recently organized Rio Tonto Copper mines company of which P. j.. Mcintyre and w. D. Mahoney of Jer- ome, are the principals. The company is being financed with outside capital This is one of the best developed prop critics south of the Binghampton and Copper Queen mines.

 property lies north of the Silver Belt
 mine west of Humboldt and is on the
 strike of the Jesse and Union veins
 The ore carries high values in gold.
