James G. Golfer on
Historical Board

James G. Golfer, father of
Fred T. Golfer, State senator
and democratic national commit
teeman, has recently been cleo
ted vice president Of the Pio-
neer's Historical Society, at Pres
colt.
Probably few pioneers enjoy
the prominence and wide ac-
quaintance in all sections of Ari-
zona, as does Mr.. Golfer of
Apache county. Crossing the
plains from Wisconsin in the
early seventies, he introduced
the first reaper and threshing
machine in the State. As many
of our older readers know, north
ern Arizona, and particularly
that part which is now Apache
county, was not then the settled,
peaceful community one finds to-
day. Where prosperous farms,
numerous irrigation projects,
well stocked ranges, orchards
and thriving towns now greet
the visitor, were then the hunt
ing grounds of rowing, desperate
bands of Apaches.
Savages, under the leadership
of Chiefs Geronimo and Victoria,
periodically attacked the white
settlers, either killing or driving
away most of their cattle and
horses. Of those who came to
build their homes in this new
country, numbers met their
death in those Indian raids,
James G. Golfer himself being
wounded.
With splendid health and vigor,
Mr.. Golfer, Sr., is seventy-five
years young, very active, and
his feats in the saddle still arouse
the envy of even the younger

INSIDE BUYING SENDS
 DUNDEE PRICE HIGHER

JEROME April 13.-Inside buying is undoubtedly responsible for the re- cent advance in the price of Dundee Arizona stock. Nothing has hap pened at the property to justify any higher quotations.
 It is well understood locally that Fred s. Stephen, president of the Dundee, has been quietly accumulat- ing the stock of his own company. probably with the intention of gaining control.
 As a result Dundee advanced sharp ly in the last ten days.
 It has been suggested locally since so much water was struct in two faces Of the U " Extension haulage tunnel the Dundee shaft might be drained of the water which forced a suspension of operations over two months ago. As a matter of fact the shaft has not yet been affected by the tunnel. The water has risen five feet in the last fifteen days, doubtless due to the hea- " March rains. The tunnel is to pass right along the south side of the Dun dee claims at a depth of approximate ly 800 feet, but at present the nearest face is several hundred yards away from a point opposite the shaft. It Is probable that in the course of the sum- mer the tunnel will drain the Dundee ground at least partially but nothing of that kind has happened yet.

MINES, MINING, LOCAL STOCKS AND COPPER
PORTLAND JEROME FEATHER RIVER iS SCANDAL EXPOSES FINANCED THROUGH FRAMES WILDCAT LOCAL PROMOTION.

The Feather River Gold Mines com
 pany, with offices in this city and hy-
 draulic gold placers in Plumas county
 California, has been completely fin
 anced following a six weeks campaign
 in this district. without advertising
 and with very little noise or Osten-
 tation. Announcement of the closing
 of the books and of plans for imme-
 diate work on the property was made
 last evening. w. E. Bowling. secre- tary-treasurer of the property. has left
 for California. where he will visit the
 company's plant and determine defi- nitely on the first work to be under taken.
 Most of the stock in the company is owned in this district The officers are Joe Walker, president; L. NJ. Stiles, Of Fl Paso. vice president, and w. E. Bowling, secretary-treasurer. The first and last named are residents and pioneer mining men of this dis trict. They have been actively inter ested in the financing of the property and are confident of its future. They will have charge of development and future work.
 The Feather River company was first introduced to local capitalists and miners last June when another association of promoters come intoI this district and attempted to fin ance the placers. At that time some including hydraulic pipe and equipment, and a ditch had been on the property and a | small amount of gold was being pro- iuced. The promoters failed in plac- ing sufficient of their stock on the market to finance the proposition and the entire placer passed to the hands 1 of the local promoters.
 Six weeks ago Mir. Walker and MT. l Bowling began a campaign to secure capital with which to develop their l property. They did not advertise and l hey went about their work quietly, | with the result that the Books had | been closed last night with sufficient capital on hand for the entire develop | ment and equipment of the property. |
 Preliminary work on the placers will have to be completed before inc l actual production can begin. declare the officers. This work will com nence. .before the end of the present | month. Among the first matters that l will receive the attention of the new promoters will be a large concrete | lam and the enlargement of the ditch | now on the ground. Later additional | hydraulic equipment will be added.
 Plans Of the operators are to have i he property working and producing | before the end of the summer t is anticipated that about two or hree months will be required for the | work which must be done md production will follow soon the of this work. Stockhold | ITS in the proposition are confident it | will prove one of the biggest gold min ng operations in California, and that | he end Of the first year will see divi- lends.

MASCOT COPP FER WILL OPERATE OWN PLANTS
 FOLLOWING REEASE

On April 1st the American Smelling
 & Refining company turned over again the operating of the Mascot properties to the owners, the Mascot Copper con- pany.
 TIese properties ike all others in a new district, have had many unsoive. difficulties to contend with. Copper mines are made and not fouhd The opeL'Gs of a new copper camp is not an easy task. A Mascot shareholder who has just visited the prop ,rt.- and inspected the same remarl;e !: The results accomplished during the time development work has besl m pros- rass is all that should be exfc :teG.
 About 35.000 tons of ore have been shipped to the smelters from this property which should demonstrate .,s grade and satisfy any reaso1aL,s per. son that the ore is there. an. with fur thef progress the property will taKe its rank omOng the profitable produceIs of this country Already the ore ship- ped 10 the smelters contameG valaes of about S50O.00O
 Individuals experienced in mining operations have little idea of the vast am0Int of money and time required to make copper producer of a prOfita- ble grade. Except for the confidence in the property and persistent efforts of the officers of this company the present conditions would have been entireiv different Some of the ll.re cop CT producers in this state have required far greater time to reach lnFnE nFnnnninU gf har sr probably take the Mascot.
 The opinion of everyone acquainted with tfe property is that these people have mine, and that the ore bodies have as yet been but partially touched. The old residents of this state have watched the early and small Ies;n- ninss of the new copper camps and theIf gradual growth into large ones emplO. ing thousands of people. Ari- zona's great mineral production has not leen built up in a day. but through years or patient work and most always under many discouragements. During the last ten years the gross annual production of copper in this state has increased from $50.000.0 900 to over S2l0 900, ,000. There is no valid reason in our opinion why history should not repeat itself at Dos CabeZas.
 Cochise county has wonderful min eral resources. It might well be called Copper County" but it's wealth lies deeply concealed and requires capital and effort to unearth il. Our mining industry is still in it's infancy. PiOa- ecrs in the field of original thought have been able to discern the great possibilities, and with the true pIcp- eering courage and determination have gradually opened our storehouses of wealth.
 The mining industry has come to remain permanently and has produced more wealth in our state than any oth- CT. The mining resources at Dos Ca bezas are yet undeveloped. The future holds out splendid possibilities ana promises for that district The same may be said of other districts of the county
 Arizona. the land which God for got" has been reserved to the last. re- qniing for its development the great ost intelligence and effort. but possess inG the most marvellous resources of any state in the union. This develop ment is now in progress. slowly hut surely it will emerge as the wonder lan' of America.

BALE EAGLE WORKS 0F TOM REED MINE
 OPEN RICH VEINS

OATMAN, Ariz., April 13.-Within 10 days the west drift on the 525 foot level of the Bald Eagle Tom Reed workings will be connected up with the drift now being advanced east from the Gray Eagle winze. Three shifts are at work in both drifts and less than 250 fest now separates the two faces.
 The Bald Eagle ore body has ex- ceeded all expectations and continues to defy precedent. Two or three times the west drift has encountered a changed formation which was taken to indicate the limits of commercial ore, but each time the ore was picked up again, though of considerably low CT grade
 A total length of 600 feet of com mercial ore is now proven in the two drifts from the original cross cut. And the east drift from the Gray Eagle winze is in commercial ore for a dis tance of nearly 40 feet, which adds that much to the lateral extent of the Gray Eagle ore body, already opened up for length of about 160 feet west from the winZe.
 In the east Bald Eagle drift the faulted area has been passed and cross cuts are now being extended in both directions to explore the ground with a view to locating the vein.
 United Eastern production for March may be slightly less than nor nal on account of the loss of one days time and the fact that values per ton will be reduced due to the fact that mining is being conducted in the south portion Of the ore body where the ore is not quite so rich as the average.
 Development on the eighth level is progressing favorably. While no state ment of values has yet been issued, they are known to be satisfactory as the ore broken in the drift is all gO- ing through the mill.
 Another small producing property has been opened in the Oatman dis trict. this being the Secret Pass Gold Top property. in the Secret Pass dis trict eight miles from Oatman. Here a small mill with a daily capacity of 25 tons is now in successful operation at about one-half full time. It is in charge of J. P Loftus formerly of Goldfield, and he reports that three men are mining and milling about 15 tons daily, at a total cost of S2.50 per ton. Fully two years supply has been developed. all lying above the mill, and sampling SS per ton in gold.
