DISCOVER CINNABAR
 NORTH OF PHOENIX

zWhat is claimed to be an excellent
 vein of quicksilver has been discov- cred in the mountains to the north of Phoenix. The vein is small, but the ore is rich. Specimens exhibited from the property is said to run about 50 per cent quick silver and the vein shows evidence of permanency. At a depth of 76 feet the vein is eight feet wide and the ore averages three per cent. Sections of the vein are small and it is in these squeezes that the richest ore appears. Jeter and Larsen, two miners, are the owners of the property and they propose to develop it to a considerable extent this win ter. In the mountains of southern Yavapai and northern Maricopa many veins of cinnabar have been found, but as rule they are badly faulted and tracing the faults out is an expensive procedure. Northern Yuma county also has several promising looking veins of quick silver.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES
 DECISION OF LOWER COURT

The supreme court of Arizona re- gently handed down it's decision in the matter of Florence E. Foster, appel lant, against Walter Black, Mabel Black, Thomas Graves, Emma Graves and E. B. Hughes, appellees, revers- ing the decision of the lower court. The action grew out of the location of what was known as the Watch mining claim, at Chloride. The suit was in forcible entry, the plaintiff seeking to dispossess the defendants from cer- tain lands covered by the mining claim. The lower court, Judge Ellis presiding, held that there was no min ing claim and as the plaintiff was not in actual possession of the property there could have been no forcible en- try of the lands. The supreme court held otherwise, placing plaintiff in possession by it's remittitur filed in the superior court. At the time the suit was brought it was thought that the lands might become very valuable for townsite purposes, but since that time property has decreased greatly in value in the camp and little inter- est was taken in the final outcome of the suit,

PRODUCTION OF
 MESO-THORIUM

The production of one of the ele- ments of radium, obtained from mon- azite, and known as meso-thorium, is growing in the United States and es- pecially the mining states of the west. Its uses are varied and it is possible that it will be produced in large vol ume to meet the growing demans. It is used in luminous paints, for watch faces, electric push buttons, door num- bers and other uses where luminous objects are necessary. Monazite is found in many states of the Union and while the Alpha radium is not strong when the rock is first extract ed it grows upon exposure until 1t is in proper condition for mixing with paints and substances to which lum- mostly is to be given. Radium itself is too expensive to be used for this purpose, but the use of the low grade and the small amount neces- sary for the purpose makes it possible to further its use. It is said that a watchface contained from ten to twenty cents worth of radium.

LOCATE COPPER MINES
 IN THE CHEMEHUEV|S

Asa LaBarOn and J. K. P. Fancher have located big group of copper claims on the south end of the Chem ehuevis mountains. Samples brought to kingman show good values in cop per and Mir. LaRarOn states that the veins are very large. The claims are situated about 22 miles southwest of Yucca, some distance from the old Manatowac patented properties.
 Copper shows throughout the Chem ehuevis country, especially along the south part of the range and crossing over the hills bordering the Bill Will Hams Fork and on south to the larger copper districts. The opening up of the claims may cause rush in there from the other copper districts of the state, as investors are looking for mines that will take the places of those that are fast going into the dis card. The properties are within the copper belt of the state and we hope the owners will start a campaign of development as soon as possible.

A STORY THAT COMES
 BACK FROM SERBIA

Rev. Francis Jager, of Minneapolis, brings back from Serbia a story of the wonderful richness of that country and its possibilities for exploitation. It is stories such as his that start men off on wild goose chases, but like all these rainbow chasing expeditions nothing comes of it. He says that the principal amusement of the French soldiers was washing out gold from the river bottoms and that he has seen children carrying around pieces of al- most pure gold, and these gold pieces were found in the possession of the very poor. The mountains contain gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, lead, coal and oil. The soldiers who were quartered near Monistir last Winter amused themselves by digging coal, the measures being found at shallow depth. This story is quite remark able, because of the fact that the mountains of northern Serbia have been prospected throughly for all the metals named and the only mines op- erated were small strata of copper. Similar stories have appeared in the DISS0 ol lllC Souhei buo oAt> writers have rfailed to familiarize themselves with the real conditions of Serbia and Bulgaria. It was stat ed that the Germans had been secur- ing all the. copper they needed for the war from the monster veins of red
 metal in Bulgaria, Serbia and the mountain country bordering on the east side of the Adriatic, which had been producing more copper than any other mines in the world. When the Germans lost these mines the jig'was up with the war. Now the fact is that in no year have the mines of that region produced enough copper to sup ply one days shell output of the Krupp plant.
 And for gold production, it has been nil. These people residing in Mac edonia known gold and it's uses and if there was an abundance of it in the streams of that country there would have been a wild scramble for it years ago.

BLACKBERRY MILL
 ALMOST COMPLETED

The mill of the Hackbery Con. min ing company is fast getting into shape to be put in commission. Gus Holmes will remain at the property until the completion of the mill, Supt. Sherman rushing things to get it in commits sion.
 When completed the Blackberry mill will be one of the best milling plants in the state. Ii will handle all the low grade ores of the mine by the Notation process and it is expected that a big saving of values will be made. The mine under the manage ment of William Neagle, is being shaped up to produce big daily ton mage for years to come. The ore bodies are being blocked out rapidly and stopes opened. But the one fea- ture that indicates the success of the project is the high average value of the ore and the possibility of grad ing up splendid smelting product.

MANGANESE FUTURE
 NOT VERY BRIGHT

O During the days of the war, calls have been sent broadcast by respon- sible and irresponsible people for man. ganese, and as result prospectors have been making countrywide search for the ores. Now that the war is over there is no great demand for the metal and those who have secured mines are wanting to know what is in store for them in future. Big claims have been made of the possibilities of the mines, but the fact is that there are few manganese mines in the country that come within the clas- sification laid down by the buyers. Manganese must run above 35 per cent before it, is worth anything to the smelters, and while there are mil lions of tons possessing values below that figure no large bodies have beeu uncovered that surpass it. But never theless, manganese will be an essen- tial metal for all tihe to come, as manganese is considered one of the best steels in the market for general use. Other alloys may put steel in a better condition for various uses, but when taken as whole manganese really is the one metal. Men who are making the hollar over the govern ment failing to protect them in the production of manganese could in few cases make production if called up- on. Over near Las Vegas, Nevada, thousands of tons of ore have been piled up at railroad siding for ship ment, but the ore averages below 35 per cent and there is not market for 1t. This ore was reported to carry values in excess of 45 per cent, but the shipments have disclosed it to be of lower grade. Undoubtedly a mar ket will be made for it in the near future, but the price will leave bare margin of profit.

PRICE ON BUCKS
 WILL NOT DROP

G. R. Franklin, local representative of the Buick, makes certain that the purchaser of a Buick car between now and the end of the 1919 season is not running any chance that the price will be subject to further change during that period.
 q have Just received a letter from the Home Office," said MT. Franklin, containing the revised price sched- ule effective Jan. 1st, 1919, covering the various Buick models during the remainder of the season. Four mod els have been reduced in price and the other two remain untouched. [
 'There has been considerable spec ulation as to what the Buick Motor company was going to do about the prices of their cars, as the close of the war left things in such an uncer- tain condition regarding the price and quantities of raw material available that a good many people felt it would be impossible for the really big man. ufacturers to find their bearings for some time to come.
 '"This prompt action on the part of the company shows that they have been able to clear the situation up sooner than anybody expected, and I for one am delighted With the an nouncement so early in the season..
 Their war orders which have been demanding the major part of their en- ergies have been completed and the announcement of the present prices is evidence that the Buick Motor com pany now has a measure of the sit uation and sufficient material is in sight that will permit laying out definite building schedule which again proves the buyer of a Buick automo- bile is at all times protected against unwarranted price changes.
 "Orders for Buick cars are piling up on us very fast and I feel reason ably sure that we shall be able to take care of the greater part of them within a reasonable time. We shall continue to follow our old policy of filling orders, and will make every eff fort to see that no favoritism is shown our waiting list which plan has work ed out so admirably in the past
 "Buick enthusiasts appreciate the of this announcement, be- cause all uncertainty has now been removed, both as to the possibility of getting Buick cars this year and the possibility of the prices being raised or lowered"

BIG STRIKE MADE
 AT THE TUCkAAOf'

In the $50 level of the Tuckahoe mine at Chloride, very important strike was made a few days ago. Af- ter drifting north along the vein at this level for 100 feet, a small strata of ore was encountered which increas- ed in width until now at 125 feet from the shaft it has opened to width of six feet of heavy mineralized quartz carrying values up to $3O00 ton, which, as broken down will run be- tween $S0 and $1O0. Lying under this strata on the foot wall is eight feet of black tale which samples across the face 59 ounces in silver and $2.65 in gold.
 This is undoubtedly the most impor- tant disclosure of high grade ore in quantity made in the Chloride re- zion since the days when the old Ten nessee was sending out continual flow of high grade lead ore by the train load.
 It seems that Supt. Carter had en- countered good ore in smaller quan- titles, 100 feet above, and having studied the ground to his satisfaction had decided that greater and richer bodies should exist in the less brok- en ground, and which later demors<' trations have proved correct.
 The early history of the Tuckahoe records very high grade ore, both in gold and silver, taken from the old workings some distance north of the present ore body spoken of, and from which the writer mined product worth thousand dollars ton, more than thirty year ago, when the water prevented deeper sinking.
 Manager Carter is quite conserva- tive in speaking of the late discover ies, but those versed in the local con- ditions of the veins and ore deposits in that particular region, believe that at still greater depth the Tuckahoe people will encounter bonanza that will make the mine famous and it's owners happy.

SHELTER WILL PAY
 SLIDING SCALE

Miners who have copper ores for sale will be treated by the Ell Paso shelter on the market basis until the market has been adjusted firmly. Set dement's will be make on a 15 cent copper basis, adjustments being made later according to the market. This method of purchase was carried out several years ago when silver and copper had no stable price, and re- suited in satisfaction to both the sell Ter and the buyer. ~

ARIZONA MINES. YIELD
 s205,5O0,0OO IN 1913

The output of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from Arizona mines in 1918, according to the estimate of Vic tor c. Heikes, of the United States Geological Survey, department of the interior, had total value of about $205, 100000, an increase of $3,S00,- 900. There were decided increases in both the copper and the gold of Ari- zona during the year. The silver out put was very close to the production of 1917 but the lead was only half as much, and the zinc fell to very small production. Arizona was fortunate in being practically free from strikes, and all the smelting plants were active throughout the year.
 The production of gold in Arizona mines increased from $5,06S, ,193 in 1917 to about $5,551 ,0O0 in 1918. This was an increase of nearly $500,00O n spite of the increase in the cost of sup plies and the difficulties in procuring men for labor. A large part of the gold was obtained from the smelling of copper ores, the tonnage of which was increased remarkably during the year, but nearly half of Arizona's to- tai gold output was due to the syani-
 ation of gold ores in the San Fran Cisco district, Mohave County, known as the Oatman region. The United Eastern remained by far the largest gold producer of the state, and the Tom Reed continued to supply notable 'gold output. The Gold Road mine was not productive, and the output of the Copper Chief in Verde district was much less.
 The mine output of silver decreased slightly, from 6,9S3,913 ounces in 1917 to about 6,7S7,0O0 ounces in 1918. On account of the increase in the price of silver, the value of that output in creased from $5,754,744 to about $6,- 569,744. It is probable that the slight decrease in quantity resulted from decrease in shipments of lead ore, which contains considerable silver. The increase in the copper output came partly from ores which contain little

6na, two of the main features
 Ii contributed to the larger cop Fer production were the blowing in 1 of a new copper shelter of the United Verde Extension company, at Verde, near Jerome, and the continuous oper- ation of the teaching plant of the New Cornelia at Ajo. Another decided in crease resulted from the Information al plant at Miami, which treats con centrates from the Inspiration prop erty. In Greenlee county the plants of the Shannon, Arizona Copper, and Detroit returned to normal outputs af- ter the strikes of 1917.
 The mine production of lead in Ar izona decreased from 23,465, ,445 lbs. in 1917 to less than 13,000,0O pounds |. in 1918. The value of the output de- creased from $2,018,028 to about $685. 900. One. of the main reasons for the decrease in lead as we'll as in zinc, was the idleness of the Tennessee mine in Mohave county. As there were very few shipments of zinc ore or lead zinc ore, the lead from residues was considerable less. Most of the lead came from the Copper Queen and SlltltuCh AIlLoHd pIopeTtieS III SO- chise county.
 The output of recoverable zinc de- creased from 20,S94 ,S60 pounds in 1917 to about 1,800,000 pounds in 1918. The value decreased from over $2,000,000 to about $151,O00. The Golconda mine, in the Wallapai district, Mohave county, formerly large producer was closed and the Tennessee mine, which produced lead-zinc milling ore, was practically worked out and sold to the Schuylkill Mining company, which owns adjoining ground. Consider able zinc shipments came from the Duquesne property in Santa Cruz county, and from the Hillside property in Yavapai county.
 Dividends from Arizona mining companies during the first eleven months of 1918 amounted to $35,O03,- 6S3, exclusive of those of the Phelps Dodge corporation, which also oper- ates mines in Mexico and New Mexi- co. The total including those of the Phelps Dodge corporation was nearly S45,000,000. The companies paying dividends were the Miami, Arizona Commercial, Inspiration, Iron Cap, Shattuck, United Eastern, United Yer de, United Extension, Arizona Copper, Calumet & Arizona, Consolidated Ar izona Smelling, Magma, Old Domin- ion, Ray Consolidated, New Cornelia, and Phelps Dodge.
