(From Sundavs OaI1y)

PHOENIX, May H.-Out of eigh; Of ten bids which have been sub nitted to the commission of state institutions for site for the erection of warehouse and, a storage yard for use of the state highway depart ment, only two nave been considered by the commission as suitable. One site was on block 5, bounded by Van \Buren, Monroe. 10th and 10th avenues, and The other is block 2. which is bounded by Jackson, Harri- son, l7th and 18th avenues.
 The commission decided to take the site on block B, but strenuous opposition coming from residents ot that district stopped it. The resi- dents about that district filed peti- t;ons objecting to the establishment thereon of the contemplated highway department warehouse, claiming 1t to be a residence district and therefore in violation of city ordinance 255 oi April B. l0l9, which provides that "permission must be obtained from
 
 two-thirds of the residents within a r: dius of 500 feet of the proposed To- cation
 State Engineer Maddock. wishing to verify classification of that site communicated yesterday with City Manager V. A. Thompson, wno re itcrated the contentious of the resi- dents of that district that 1t IS con sidered residence property and there fore such a warehouse cannot be erected thereon against the wishes oi the residents of that neighborhood However, he stated to Maddock tha: block ? may be used for warehouse purposes, and that a permit for the erection of a warehouse on that site may be had at any time at the office of the city building inspector. In view Of these circumstances. Mad dock intimated that block ? will have to be utilized for this purpose

EMPIRE SWINGS BACK ID LIFE

One Of the interesting new mining movements for an old mining prop crtv in this section is the incorpora,- ing of the Gold Eagle NJ. & NJ. Co.,. which has acquired the Empire hold ings on Groom creek. The property is now in action under the manage ment of w. NJ. Lyons, with whon1 are quite a number of local invest DTS. Before becoming interested, the services of capable mining en- gineers were secured, and their re ports were favorable when operations were inaugurated, and are now pro grcssing satisfactorily.
 The old workings have been clear ed cut and crosscutting from tunne, at a depth of 200 feet is the initial work. The Empire suspended over twenty years ago, and during its ac tive career it passed through many changes in ownership, internal strife and a system of ciloriding the high grade zones. One mill run of l6 tor $ of ore gave a recovery on the plates d over $500 in gold, under cir cumstances which are sensational, the operator entering the premises without permission of his associate and making the mill run on his own volition The Empire was equipped with a mill and other machinery, and under practical management, in the opinion of miners. should prove a desirable investment
 C. w. Montgomery, a principal o' the Round Mountain Co.,. now op- erating in southern Yavapai, who is highly rated in mining circles of the west, visited the camp during the week and was so favorablS impressed after making an examination that he has become interested with Mr Lyons and local people.

 NEWS or BIG LEDGE
(From Saturdays Da;lY.D

Resumption of the Henrietta and Butternut holdings of the Big Ledge Mining Go. has taken place. was the important announcement made by President Charles Batre on Thurs day night as he was returning to Duluth, Minnesota, his headquarters. He also gave an interesting account of what development is to be done at both points, stating that the But ternut shaft is to be sunk to depth of at sleast 1000 feet with three compartment shalt, starting at a depth cf about 100 feet.
 On the Henrietta sinking a shalt of 800 feet in depth from the pres cnt tunnel level starts today, which will give a vertical depth from the apex of old workings of approxl- mately 1900 feet. The above mines of tn Big Ledge show gold in the Henrietta and copper in the Butter Hut. both properties reaching high rating before suspension occurred about tive months ago. ney are eituated within mile of each other and in a short time ample force will De employed to operate both shafts. The TWO camps are now being put in condition to accommodate the men and as far as the future augurs there is 10 be no interruption in the op- eraling plans decided upon.
 \ system of staight development was stated by Mr. Batre as the pur- ,pose, and until market conditions are improved there is to be no production for tbe sn,elter at Mayer.
 This plant, accordingly, will re main idle. for the present The Big Ledge is among the largest mine operating syndicates in this field, and it's prominent rating is due mainly to the energy of Mir. Batre, who years ago appreciated the merits oi these properties. The resumption o' these properties is adding healthy outlool, for others in that zone and some are getting ready to resume operations.

Tawney. who is in the city from the Turkey station silver fields, stated yesterday three com panies are mining this metal, leasers have taken over many properties, prospectors are swarning the coun- try, and such situation had never before been known in tine district in which so much interest was being manifested. Silver at $1.l0 was stimu. ,ating production. and the building of T custom mill at the Thunderboit mine would soon be under headway.
 This movement is being eagerly awaited, and at all camps heavy tonnage is accumulating for the home market, while several cars of high grade are being loaded at the rail. road station. Mir.

DAM IS PLANNED
 IN COLORADO RIVER
(From Sundays Dailv)

A big reclamation and power proj- ect, of the greatest importance to part of Arizona and Nevade, is being worked out in the northwest corner of the state, according to Charles R.. Howe of the tax commission, who has just returned from. that section.
 According to the story, the plan IS to dam the Colorado in the vicinity of Jones Ferry, below the mouth of the Virgin river, and back the water up the Colorado nearly to the site Of the proposed bridge, and up the Vir- gin nearly to Battlefield.
 The method proposed to dam the river is novel in the extreme. It is proposed to make the dam at poin. where the river is quite narrow and runs between two mountains of rock, these to be mined and filled with ex- plosives. and set off simultaneously. thus shooting both mountains down into the river. The silt will be de- pended upon to fill the chinks, anI the top finished with regular con crete fill.
 Some engineers think the scheme is practical and others do not agree but it any event it is said that Gil lette, the razor king has been in terested in the project and is back ing it.
 IL is reported that the main object $ the development of big powe' project, but that incidentally upward of 100000 acres will be irrigated an1 brought under cultivation.
