NEW DISCOVERY HAS
 IMPORTANCE IN ITS
 BEARING ON DISTRICT
ASSAYS SHOW ORE FROM PROP ERTY NEAR CHARLESTON TO CARRY PLATINUM IN CONSIDER. ABLE QUANTITIES, SAYS MIR. WooLERY

The discovery that a strange looking vein, supposed hitherto by L. c. Wool cry and John Moore, of this city, to be barren country rock" carried approx imately half an ounce of platinum to the ton, may mean that the fortunes of the two are made. The property, situated near the historic town of Charleston, now is being systemati- cally prospected by the two, prelimin- nary to more active development.
 MT. Woolery, who until few weeks ago was connected with the Angius grocery in Bisbee, was in the city early last week preparing to move his family to the camp at the property, having sold his house at Warren.
 q took an average sample of the eight-inch veing of strange looking rock to a Tombstone assayer a few days ago." said he. He said at once it looked as though it might contain platinum, though that hardly seemed possible, as the known deposits in this country were small and low grade. His assays and tests confirmed the original analysis. He said the sample brought him ran about half ounce to the ton, which is considered high grade for the metal"
 The United States government has been doing everything in its power to conserve platinum because of the in tricate mechanism of some of the guns being turned out requiring the metal Appeals have been directed to the peO- pie to turn in platinum jewelry; jewl- CTS have been instructed to make no more use of it at present for purposes of personal adornment, while all plat mum vessels in the hands of chem ists, assayers and others. not required for scientific purpose have been pur- chased by the government wherever possible.
 . The importance of the new discoy- cry, at Charleston. should it prove to be what Mir. Woolery hopes and says he has reason to expect, therefore can be appreciated readily.

pound in total. Since August 1 the new shelter has run uninterruptedly and should by now be turning out about 4,500,0OO pounds of copper per month from 15 per cent ore.
 Verde Extension now probably has about 2,000,00O tons of 10 per cent average copper tenor containing about $100,000,000 gross values. When the
 CIV shelter is completed 1000 tons will be treated daily with an annual net profit of over S1O,000,000 or nearly s10 share. The figures are ultra conservative and the belief is strong among those in close touch with af- fairs that United Verde Extension will sel at $75 share within a year Many will recall the spectacular advance from under $6 to around S45 in the fall of 1916. Aside from this speculative possibility, Verde Extension is lead ing dividend payer of established standing.

RA|LROADS-NINES SHARE BURDEN OF
 TAXES IN STATE
Phenomenal Increase in Ratio of Assessment Shown by Comparison of Figures for Few Years

The state tax commission recently announced the valuation of Arizona mines, with a slight advance, as the production has been cut materially in the past year by strikes, and the as sessment is based largely upon the output. This output has increased i'm mensely during the \past half dozen years, but has hardly kept pace with the rising mining assessments.
 In 1912 the assessment on mining property was only $45,000,000 or 31.7 per cent of the gross assessment of the whole territory. With the first year of statehood, the assessment jump ed to s14O,0S0,0O0 or 37.2 per cent, it being understood that with statehood came a full valuation of property which hitherto had been assessed on about a 50 per cent bases.
 In 1916 the figures had raised to $216,S79, ,0OO, or 44.2 per cent, and in 1917 to S393, 3,421. .536, or 56 per cent of the gross valuation, an increase of S73 per cent since statehood.
 With the railroads the mines thus share in the payment of about two thirds of the states revenue.

 Owing to the large quantity of free milling, highly siliciOns ore they hay e developed, it was decided by the part Dership. in July os this year, Io fclm a stock company of it and install g mili and otne" m. ling machinery on the property. A 50-ton mill has been purchased of the Greenc.Cananea Cop per company and removed from lmuris, 125 miles south of Cananea. All the concentrator is in Cananea, with the exception of the timbers, which ara enroute. In August they purchased a two-drill IngersolLRand compressor ,-om the Ingersoll-Rand company at Fl Paso and other equip. ment, all of which is in Cananea ready to be installed.
 During September they encountered new vein seven feet in width, four feet of rich ore on the footwall, and three feet of milling ore on the hang. ing-wall, the four feet on the footwall sssaying S4.80 gold, 23.4 ounces of silver, and 13 per cent copper. One foot of the richest ore on the footwall assayed 75.5 ounces of silver and 34.1 per cent copper. Another new vein of pink quartz, eight inches in width was encountered october 1, carrying free gold. two small nuggets of which were brought to Bisbee last week by Mir Mellineaux, who is in charge of the development work. They now have 40 sacks of this high-grade cop peT-silver ore ready for shipment as soon as permit from Mexico City is received.
 With five men on the road, which Is nearing completion, and four men stripping out the rich ore and piling 1t on the dump, they soon will be in the producing class.
 The company has been incorporated under the laws of Mexico for 150,0 shares par value of l peso, in the name of the Santa Barbara Mining & Milling company. Articles of incorpo- ration were drawn up by attorney William D. King of Douglas, and be- ing completed last week they now are in the hands of the mining agent in Cananea, and the company will be ready to issue stock certificates about october 25. Contract has been entered into with an Eastern man to dispose of 10000 shares of stock at S1 per share in the East. However, any DOT ton of this limited allotment can be subscribed for in Bisbee at the office of the company in room 14, Maze build ing, over Woolworth's store, or at thc Jince Of Collins X BrethertOn, where samples of the ore are displayed The 4und which materiaiizes from the sale of stock will be used to erect and put ,he mill into operation, purchase a motor truck and such other equip ment as they find themselves in i'm mediate need of.

TOMBSTONE YOUTHS
 DANGEROUSLY ILL

Two Tombstone boys. James Gia- coba and George Chambers. who are at the naval training station at Gulf port, Miss. are seriously ill with in enza-pneumOnia, according to tele- grams received Wednesday night by relatives Tony Giacoma and broth CT, John, and MT. and Mrs. J. s. Chambers left yesterday morning on the Golden State Limited from Ben son for Gulfport. having been re- quested to go by the hospital authori- ties. The news came as a shock to the many friends of both boys. since nothing had been heard from them that they were ill from the. disease. The auxiliary of the Red Cross re- Ceived two telegrams from the field director of the Red Cross advising of the illness of the boys and notify ing them to devise the parents and relatives of the boys that they would receive the best of care. It is hoped that their illness will not prove seri-
 ous and word is expected from MT Giacoma and Mrs. Chambers as soon as they arrive.

 sense that attention will again be called to this zone and others will want to duplicate the success of those who have stood by the Mossback. The following is a verified account of what the Mossback mas done:
 In 1862 soldiers stationed at Silver Creek to protect immigrants from the depredations of Indians discovered gold on what is now the Arizona Mossback claims They had only black powder and the poorest of mining facilities and were unable to break through the hard vein casing. They abandoned the mine and it was forgotten.
 In 1900. Charles Ii 3urlock, while on a prospecting uip. iediscovered the mine and held it until September, 1917, when it was taken over by the present owners, the Arizona Moss back Mines company, a corporation composed of capitalists from Cali fornia and Wheeling. W. Va
 The Mossback mine is. therefore, one of the first gold discoveries in Aiit N'tAAAAaAA hAottHl-- IT NAo hoihO T intermittehtly by Mir Burlock over a period Of Y years He dic in all about zoo feet of work and sunk the main shaft tC a depth of @G0 feet. The shaft was sunk upon sc 'rs. chute which gave assays of from S20 to S90 per ton from the surface down to the 200 foot level, where some very high grade stringers Of ore were found, one carrying values as high as S1,S00 in gold to the ton
 The present company began active operation in April of the present year and installed upon the property an entirely new plant, complete in every detail and absolutely modern. The plant, including the camp build inrs and equipment cost S35.000.
 On July 5th of this year the com pany began work in the mine itself end during July pumped the water out Of the shaft and completely retim- bered it. In August sinking opera tons werc begun at the 300 foot level and the shaft was driven downward in new ground for a few feet when the ores took on increased values, assay

MINING CONCERNS COMPETE FOR THE
 NEWS GOOD WILL
Enlightened Policy in Effect in Many of the Camps of State Puts Premium on Length of Service

Arizona mining companies have awakened to the need of improving conditions to take care of the in creased burdens of the workmen and to compete with the high wages of the shipyards.
 The companies of the state have had rather a big record in the present year, as to advances to their forty thousand or more workmen. Twice they have raised wages. In all the large copper districts steps have been taken to tighten rental burdens. In most of them the operating compan. ies have enlarged home building oppor- tunities formerly afforded their em' ployes.
 In some of the camps special ef- fort has been made to reach the man of family who has not had it in his power to meet living costs and still set aside enough to enable him to start building his own home, steady as he might work The children have come and the doctors bills, and school clothes and supplies. In the Warren district and some others this type of men is being especially sought out, 
 and put in the way of owning their own homes.
 It is not necessary for them to have anything but their records of steadi- ness and endeavor to deal fairly with the world. With such record, such a homes as they want is built for them, and they pay for it in installments such as they have been paying for rent. The difference is that when they have paid in the cost of the house, it and the lot on which it stands be- longs to them. Other workmen with money ahead are privileged to build on advantageous terms. But they are expected to make payments in propor- tion to funds they can spare. Both for their benefit and that of the com panies it is best that they should pay out quickly and release the money tied up in their homes.

 ant to this district for if gill be the first time in recent years that a silver property of such size and prospective value will be thoroughly developed. The old mine has a great shipping record of high grade ore under the management of F. w. Ciroux, who has had a lease on it for several years. A good many carloads of ore have gone out that have averaged 200 to 300 ounces of silver to the ton. The mine has large reserves of milling ore which will pay well when treated near the mine like the Humboldt shelter. The future development of the mine will be watched with a great deal of in- terest for it is believed by mining men that with greater depth, the ore will carry more copper values. Claude Ferguson, formerly mine superintend- ent at the Copper Queen mine, at Stoddard, has gone to the shelter company and will have charge as mine superintendent of both the DeSoto and the Swastika mines. Mine Superinten- dents DeCamp and White have both resigned and will soon enter military service.

 ing about $500 per ton. Since then sinking has been going on continu- ously in good ores. At 435 feet the increase in valuation of the ores has become so great that old-time miners in the district are amazed. One streak of ore is shot full of gold and MI easily run S10,000 to the ton, while much of the ore coming up the shalt will run from $500 to S700 per ton.
 The cOmpany's objective is the 500- foot level, where a station will be established and drifting south from 300 to 800 feet to an intersection of the Mossback" and the Moss" lodges, which form a contact upon the Mossback ground at this point. On the surface at the point Of this con tact a five-foot vein was discovered which gave an assay, taken across the tive-foot face, of S2,S53 per ton. This was placed under lock and key to pre- vent high grading. It will be opened up by the drift from the 500-foot level and is expected to show phenomenal values.
 The Mossback ledge Is approximate ly 250 feet wide on the surface, that being the measurement between what appears to be the walls, but ion the east at the 120-foot, the 200-foot and the 300-foot levels, the so-called east wall has been pierced at each level and the ore still continued toward the east, the breast of each cross cut showing full in ore, which goes to prove that the east wall has not as yet been found
 The pay ore body in the ledge upon which all work has been done up to date measures IS feet in width at the 50-foot level. 25 feet wide at the 120- foot level, 45 feet wide at the 300-foot level, with the east breast of each drift still in good ore.
 It is estimated that there are 100,- GOO tons of ore blocked out or in sight" in the Mossback mine at this date, winch throughout will average S25 per ton.
 There is now on the dump about 5000 tons of ore in much of which free gold can be seen with the un- aided eye.
 The company is working two shifts and expects to reach the 500-foOt level in about two weeks time, when drift ing and cross cutting will be done to determine the width of this high grade ore body.
 If the pay ore chute upon which all the work has thus far been done con tinues to widen consistently from the 3e0-foot level to the 5OO-foot level, it is possible that it will fill the entire width of vein matter, which will make the Mossback one of the phenomenal mines of the West
 The development of the property so far as the present company is concerned, has been under the man. agement of Charles w. Maier, the president and general manager, as- sisted by Superintendent Jack Lamb.
 Plans are already being made for a mill of from 200 to 300 tons daily capacity. There is now several years reserve supply of ore in sight. It is expected that the mill will be built and in operation by the middle of 1919.

ter For some time operations were seriously delayed as power was lack ing to furnish the air required to op- crate the pumps. A bigger engine was installed and now all is moving smoothly, but Manager Mitchell is not satisfied. He has decided to install a z50-horsepower steam plant and dispose of the gas engines now in use. Two steam plants such as he desires have been offered him and he will probably place the order within a few days.
 No "BIind" Prospect"
 Not a great deal is heard about the Jerome Superior as the company is making no effort to sell stock, but the formations disclosed by the shaft in sure that the property will be more in the public eye hereafter. The de- Telopment is going forward in a busi- nesslike manner and it has been dem- onstrated that the Jerome Superior is no blind" prospect. The casual observer sees nothing on the surface to get excited about but Manager Mitchell, who is himself a geologist, knew that the formations were there before he started his shaft. Now he expects to demonstrate in short order that the ore is there.
 The Jerome Superior development means a great deal to the entire north end of the Verde district That com pany has already demonstrated that the ore formations are there and the discovery of ore would make every foot of ground from Jerome north to the Verde river, and even beyond, valuable.

'Conunued from Page ons) along this drift all the fractures in the andesite are filled with black sul- phide of copper Some extraordinar' fly rich small specimens were secured but the ore is not in commercial quan- titles. Being still in the impoverished, or leached, zone, Manager George Mitchell wasted little time on the 500.
 Development Plans.
 The present plan of development is to continue sinking indefinitely, but wnen the shalt is down a little deeper, probably to 75O feet, a crosscut will be run off westward toward the ande- site. The andesite dike and all the other formations through which the shaft has passed pitch to the west.
 Manager Mitchell is more hopeful of finding ore in the andesite than in the schist It is entirely possible, however, that when the scEist is en- tered in the shaft it will be found to carry values, for punches of copper carbonate have been found right in the diortic porphyry.
 Shaft Record.
 Manager Mitchell has at the mouth of the shaft a most ingenious geolog- ical record. He has two long upright boxes divided into sections, each sec tion representing a certain portion of the shaft In each section are small samples Of the rock from the portion of the shaft represented. The man ager also has scores of psychological slides and reports. His geological data are complete.
