amount provided for. The mine Oper-
 ator has gained nothing by this and
 the beneficiary of the workman has
 suffered as outrageously as have many
 of those who have gone into court with
 damage suits at the behest of personal
 injury lawyers who have collected
 from 509c to all of the awards obtain
 ed and put it in their pockets, leaving
 the rightful beneficiary to suffer. The
 proposed amendment will change all of
 this with it's state guaranteed insur-
 snce and its guarantee against the , meddling and mulcting of undesirable
 lawyers, and grafters.
 Mining Activities
 In the Warren district the Phelps
 Dodge activities on Sacramento Hill
 are making splendid headway. The top of the hill is now gone and visitors to the district who in times past had
 the Sacramento crags first in eye as
 landmarks, must look for other bear
 ings. Around the hill from the Co.,
 chise shaft at Warren the making of foundations for the mill which will
 handle the Sacramento steam shovel
 low grade is going ahead. At the Co.,
 chise shaft a considerable stream of
 water is now established for the use
 of the mill. While the primary pur- pose in lowering this shaft was that
 of securing water for the mill, the fact remains that it is in a mineralized zone and that it will be disappointing
 to the best informed mining men of the district if it does not develop one |-.e Az I1 n work goes ahead on the 1900 level, where there has not as yet been time
 to prove up the presence of the ore bodies found on the upper levels but where conditions are reported as sat isfactory.
 New Shelter Going Soon The United Verde Extension smelter will be in operation possibly by the first of the month; if not then, very soon thereafter. One furnace will fire up early in next week and the second furnace will be ready for firing in the following week. The crushing plant is now turning over and gives promise of breaking in with much less than the amount of tuning ordinarily required for such a plant. Plenty of ore is in the stock pile. At the United Verde the preparations go ahead rapidly as possible for their steam shovel mining enterprise, involving much rail and other new construction. Among the developing companies in the district no important recent changes have been reported. The Yeager canyon mine ot l Shannon Copper Co. continues to i'm prove in promise Gadsden work has
 been delayed some by mechanical diff faculties, inclusive of results of light ming, which struck their transformer house and put it out of commission for a while the first of the week. It will probably be some time in August be- fore the shaft reaches the 1900 level, where it is to begin cutting up the country. Meantime the more favora- ble conditions which existed at the 1000 are continuing in the shaft New CorneIia Construction At Ajo plans are ready for the be- ginning of foundations for flotation plant which is to be added to the equipment and which with the smelter that is planned will be ready for work
 in 1921, the Notation plant probably
 well before tha. lime. Equipment for
 this plant has been ordered and it is possible that deliveries will commence arriving in the fall. Out from Ajo at
 Gunsight and further east there is continued prospecting and reports of favorable conditions and the attrac- | ton of new investment of substantial
 kind
 In Tucson Country
 The production of the Sasco smelter | IS keeping up to the standard of the | present year, a fact reflecting much | credit upon the management, with | shipments from the various small properties thus far we'll maintained. | Some increase is probable from the Lincoln Camp district. where there
 has been determination of excellent values in several dumps upon which | eases have been taken by A. c. Row. | sey and associates of Tucson, who lat | sr may undertake the opening of old workings and the extension of these llOng lines advised by engineers who believe that the district extends req sonable ground for expectation that iOme important producers may bc made under modern methods of re 
 iearch and development. In the San Xavier district the Bush production nd development is attended by con- inued interest and confidence. At the leiniger-Freeman properties the rapid | development which has established turing each of the last several months ! new record for speed in the district keeping ahead with high vigor al

 GiobeMiami District
 There are better general conditions f operation, mining and development the Globe Miami district at thI1 | ime than in a year Gain has been teady, slow at times, but sure. with attendance of requirement of wholly oval forces which are putting into heir work not only their time but also
