MOSSBACK OPENING
 UP VERY LARGE VEIN

Last Thursday the mining editor visited the camp of the Arizona Moss back, over in the Silver Creek section, and found it one of the busy places of the county. The party was cordial ly received by w. H. Holcorab, gen. eral manager. The shaft had just reached the 500 level and the work of timbering the shaft to that point was under way. The mine is under the superintendency of Jack Lamb, who is said to be one of the best man. agers of mining property in the coun- try. As soon as the shaft has been timbered to the level station will be cut and the work of crosscutting the big vein will be under way. The vein is one of the largest in the coun- ty, mining men estimating its total width at approximately 600 feet.
 In carrying the shaft from the 300 level to the 800 the ere values were found to be exceptionally rich, much high grade ore appearing throughout the shaft. Samples taken at various points and from buckets would indi- cate average values n excess of $25 for a width of five feet, while the whole vein of exposed ore, 63 feet in width, will average about $13. Should this condition be found on the 500 the mine will establish reputation for consistency of ore that will bring it in- to the limelight with a rush. Every foot of ground gainted in depth has increased the values, although much high grade was found in the outcrop by the early-day miners.
 The camp is one of the best situated in the county, there being plenty of room for good sized town, with wa ter from a spring in the high hills to the east, giving pressure for all pur. poses. Only necessary buildings have been erected, the management believ. ing that it would be time enough tc put on frills when the mine develop. ment warranted. There is a gooc boarding and bunkhouse and office building, which comfortably cares fol all the men employed in the camp.
 A big holster and pump, compressor of sufficient capacity for all purposes and other necessary machinery are be ing installed. As soon as the work ha! been completed the company ex
 poets to begin the construc
 tion of milling plant of at leas 250 tons capacity. With further de velopment the mine will be able tt
 keep a much larger plant supplied
 with ore and it is probable that ad
 ditions will be made to the plan
 within the coming year.

GOOD PROGRESS AT
 TOM REED MINE

The Tom Reed mine is getting things shaped up to care for the ex- traction of ore in the big new ore body in the Bald Eagle by building a pocket at the 500 level of the Aztec. Slopes along the 500 level of the Bald Eagle are being opened and the ore broken in the work is being sent to the mill, where it has raised the value of the ore to an extent to make the weeks run the highest of any cleanup since the present management has been at the helm in the property.
 The shaft on the Aztec has been carried to the $50 level, whence the crosscut has been carried out to the Bald Eagle vein, although only the casing has so far been broken. Water has impeded progress of this work and the mine has to be we'll cleaned before the big vein is gone into, as 1t is feared that the pumps will be swamped. This work is draining all the country, which would indicate that there are many cross veins, as we'll as faults that connect the whole vein sh, stem between Big Jim and Grey Eagle. Water from the Aztec IS now being pumped to- the United Eastern mill, where it is used for milling pur- poses. Heretofore the Eastern was getting its water from the Big Jim shaft. h.
 The Tom Reel Co. is now getting things shaped up for the handling of ore from the Bald Eagle, the strike on which created furor awhile back. Ow- ing to conditions at the mine this ore has not been mined, only raises heinz carried into the ore bodies to ascer, tain its extent. Now the stopes will be opened and this ore and that from the Grey Eagle will be milled. With the opening of the ore on the $50 the company will have enough of the rich CT material to keep the big plant ir operation for year or more to come Throughout this big mass os ore, is found big lenses of very rich ore that it is found necessary to mix with !he lower grades to keep the heads regul

ASSESSED VALUATION ARIZONA MINES INCREASED
 MORE THAN S90,000,00O

The assessed valuation of Arizona's producing mines for the fiscal year Of 191S-1919, as fixed by the state tax commission, amounts to $421, ,9S6, ,S54.00, an increase of more than $90 0,000,0 900 over the valuation of the preceding year. These figures may be taken as indicating the growth of the mining in dustry, but this in fact is but partially true. In their larger significance they show exclusively a determina- tion on the part of the state taxing power, and which apparently has be- come fixed policy, to compel the min ing industry to contribute larger and ever-increasing proportion of the revenues for the support of state and county governments.
 The figures above quoted cover only the valuation of the producing mines in the state. To arrive at the total valuation of all properties classed un- der tho head of mining industry there must b. added the volu ,tions for tax ation placed upon non-prv luc:1s mines and other properties, which are direct ly connected with those mines, includ' ing supplies, etc., which largely in- crease the total.
 A striking presentation of figures representing the total valuation of the property of the mines ani mining in dustry of Arizona for the SIX years from and including 1912 l3 to 1317-lS in pyramid form, was given in late number of the Arizona Taxpayers Magazine. Briefly, it shows that the valuation of mining property of all descriptions which in 1912-13 was 5,145, ,O84.49 had in 1917-l8 become s393 ,421 ,536.60, an increase since Ari' zona became state of S73 per cent In 1912-13 the valuation for taxation of all mining property was 31.7 pei cent of the total valuations of all prop erty of every description in the state while last year the mining industr, was called upon to pay on 56 per cent of the total.
 We are not inclined to be as char itable as the Taxpayers Magazine when it says; "It is not with the inten' ton of raising any question as to ths fairness of action by assessing officers that any comparison as between diff ferent classes of property is made ol suggested. The most that is intended to bring to the minds of our readers is the ultimate fact that is shown b! the actual figures given. The ulti mate fact is the actual important place which the mining industry of thu State of Arizona has in the financia affairs of the State. (Globe Record.

MINERALS UNDER RARE
 METALS CONTROL BILL

Many people are anxious to know the minerals that come under the op eration of the new minerals control bill, and for which the government has just appropriated the sum of $50,- 100000. The bill is primarily to stimulate the production of all metals that have heretofore been imported from other countries and to build Up the system of distribution that has been agreed upon between the allied countries. The minerals that come under the classification are:
 Anthony, arsenic, ball clay, bis muth, bromine, cerium, chalk, chrom- ium, cobalt, corundum, emery, flour spar, ferrosilicon, fullers earth, grap- hite, grinding pebbles, iridium, kaolin, magnesite, manganese, mercury, mica, molybdenum, osmium, sodium, platin- um, paper clay, phosphorus, potas, sium, pyrites, radium, sulphur, vhor- ium, tin, titanum, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, zirconium.
 The act also provides that the Pres ident may also bring other mineral, metal or clay under the provisions of the act if it develops that such product is necessary for the carrying on of the war.
 The United States has within it's borders every mineral, as we'll as all the clays, salts and potassiums neces- sary to the war work CT the welfare of the country, but many of these min erals, metals and clays have been too low in value to allow of their being produced at the high wage scale paid in this country, and therefore were inl- ported from the country in which the production costs were low. The same applied to the manufacture of coloring matter, potassiums and other salts, sulphur, and elements. With the de- vastation wrought by war and Jack of men the old world countries are unable to produce or transport the products to tidewater and ship them overseas. In consequence the United States has aroused to the possibility of produc- ing every essential within it's own bor- ders, wherefore a foundation has been laid for the speeding up of production and development of all classes of mines and manufacturing plants.

GOOD ORE IN LOWER
 DEPTH OATMAN UNITED

It is reported in Oatman that some good ore has been encountered in the deep workings of the Oatman United. This property lies to the east of the Tom Reed and there is an. excellent chance for the picking up of an ore body in the faulted ground within the limits of the claim. The outcrop of some good looking veins caused the company to carry on large amount of work, and it is to be hoped that success will crown it's efforts. A pay ing property outside the Mother lode would be big thing for Oatman camp, and we have faith that sooner or later one will be opened.

QUICKSILVER DEPOSITS
 IN PHOENIX MOUNTAINS

The present exceptional demand for quicksilver in the manufacture of full minate gives the domestic deposits of this war metal particular interest. Deposits recently discovered in the southern part of the Phoenix Noun tains, 10 miles northeast of Phoenix, Ariz., are described in short paper prepared by F. c. Schrader just pub lished by the United States Geological Survey. The deposits are easy of ac- cess, and being near the rich agricul- tural region of Salt River valley are, otherwise favorably situated for min ing. The ore being exploited on six or more properties or groups of claims, which lie in belt, about 3 miles wide, that extends northeast ward diagonally across the range.
 The rocks in the region are meta morphosed sediments of pre-Cambrian age, chiefly schist, slate, argillite, limestone, and quartzite. They crop out in narrow parallel zones and dip steeply to the southeast. They are horizontally sheeted and are crosscut by faults, fractures, and cleavage, The deposits are in the zones of schist, notably quartz schist and kyanite schist. They are lodelike deposits, some more than mile long and in places 80 feet wide, which occur along zones of shearing or fracture that are parallel with the lamination of the schists.
 The ore minerals are cinnabar and cinnabarite. They are found mostly along the planes of schistosity, form ing ore bodies several inches wide and 3 or 4 feet long, but they also accur sporadically in quartz stringers and veinlets. A little native quicksilver has also been reported. Associated with the deposits are copper minerals, especially malachite, chalcocite, and chalcapyrite. The gangue minerals, the chief constituents of the stringers and veinlets, are quartz, calcite, hema- --- - ------------

DIAMOND DRILL.
 ON THE MOHAWK

The diamond drill on the Mohawk has not yet encountered the ore body that is being sought on the ground contiguous to the United Eastern, but the management will continue to work for some time. The United Eastern vein is worth spending money to find in contiguous property and it is possible that the Mohawk will drive several more holes in an effort to pick up the ore.
