 ''In many instances miners have done three or four years assessment work on claims without having found mineral in paying quantities to guar antee them in leaving other employ ment and applying themselves en- tirely to their mines, and to neglect making their assessment work would lose to them all the labor they had put into it heretofore. by reason of some other person. more fortunate than they in the matter of finances taking up the claim.

J. O. Fife, of the Hill Top mine, ac' companied by L.. B. VickRoy, who has been at the property in the Chirii cahua mountains for several days. was in the city this week. Mesrss. Fife and VickRoy have been together interested in mining operations for good many years, and though the lat ter has not been actively connected with the development of the Hill Top property, he. owns some stock in the company Before the mining industry was interfered with in Sonora by the revolution in Mexico these gentlemen had developed, successfully, a gold and silver property in the Tabotacha- chi district fifty miles south of Doug las and made important shipments from it.
 At the time they temporarily aban- doned the property the development had proven to their satisfaction that it was good one and plans had been made for important water develop ment to supply the needs of their property, as well as others in the dis trict MT. VickRoy said that they had by no means abandoned their Mexico properties and hoped to be back there when conditions were substantially safe again. MT. VickRoy says that he is pleased to observe that Sonora has been seemingly free from disturbance during the past year, except for the trouble with the Yaquis in the southern portion.
 MT. VickRoy, when speaking or the Hill Top mine, waxed enthusiastic and made the declaration that he re- T IA foa will | he in the class of the best silver properties ever developed in the west. About the time this property was secured by MT. Fife, YickRoy said he spent several weeks making close examination of the surface where there is a vein more than two hundred feet wide cutting across the ton of the mountain. On the surface he found many ore croppings in a days tourney over it. These ore croppings have now been cut by | series of tunnels and in the upper tunnel. cut entirely through the top of the mountain, fifteen ore bodies were cut, showing that the surface outcroppings were of cone shape ana
 when cut by the tunnel were Of vary
 ing widths, some of them sixty rect.
 These ore bodies have again been
 cut in the second tunnel and some
 at a depth of as much as fourteen
 hundred feet. Still another and lower
 tunnel is now being bored through the
 mountain.
 MT. VickRoy said that he regarded
 the development plan on the Hill TOT as the best to be found in the coun fry. pointing to the fact that the water is all carried out through the tunnels and 10 the further fact that aII off the ore will. be handled through the tunnels and never will pound have to be raised. but it will go bS gravity into the ore bins and into inc future reduction works which IS

Congressman Carl Hayden has an swered the protests of Bisbee mining men against doing assessment work this year by introducing a bill to exempt the owners of mining claims from doing assessment work on five claims this year. The bill has just been reported to the house, according to a letter received yesterday from Congressman Hayden by Postmaster Lee R. Bailey.
 Whether we will be able to pass the bill remains to be seen," the con gressman says, because there is con siderable opposition. We shall do our best. however"
 During the time the United States was in the war, claim owners were exempted from doing assessment work, but with the signing of the armistice it again became necessary. Recently a protest was sent to Con gressman Hayden from Bisbee asking that the exemption be continued this year as conditions had not been re- stored to a normal, peace-time basis. The bill to exempt five claims is the result The measure on being sent to the house was accompanied by a report from the committee on mines and mining which says in part:
 There is no doubt that because of the war those who went into the service of the country have not yet all returned to the communities that they left, and in addition to this large number of persons answered the call for employment in ship building, ammunition works, and oth- CT industries that required help to supply the wars needs.
 Large numbers of these men have not yet returned to their homes, as they are still following the pursuits in industry that they took up then.
 "The high cost of powder, steel, and other requirements in mining work almost precludes the possibil- ity of men doing their development work Labor in the mining states by reasons heretofore stated is scarce, the men that have claims are, as a rule, employed at going mines or on the farms and in the construction de- partments of industries located near their home, and all the man power that possibly can be secured for these operations is necessary in the build ing or rebuilding of houses and the harvesting of crops.
 Taking them away from these in- dustries at the present time would lose to the supplying energy of the states, it is estimated, several mil lion dollars, and it is not fair to the

HOLDING AROUND A CTS.
 FUR SEPTEMBER

The copper market appears to have settled for a time at least around the 24c per pound quotation for Septem- Der deliveries, and although business during the past week has been small CT than heretofore, it is said some good orders came to the larger deal CTS, even at the highest prices quoted.
 There have been numerous efforts during the past week on the part or consumers to have contracts for last quarter delivery taken by the sellers, and although there have been some reports that transactions have been closed at 25c and better, no conflrma- tion is obtainable and they are not generally credited in well-informed quarters.
 Sentiment in the trade is excellent and this applies to producers as well as consumers. The attitude of both sides apparently indicates that higher prices are coming or at least that such belief prevails.
 Four months ago the copper market was in the doldrums. Sales were few and far between at 1412 cents pound. While a big curtailment policy was in effect at the copper properties, talk was heard of the steadily increas- ing surplus, then placed at between 1900 ,OO0,0 and 100000, 900 pounds. It was about that time that Calumet & Hecla decided to pass its dividend. while Kennecott reduced it's rate and Phelps Dodge Topped off its extra.
 That conditions in the copper metal market have rapidly improved since then is seen in the present asking price of "A cents a pound for future copper by the leading agencies, with spot quoted at 23A to 2314 cents a pound.
 After the middle of March there was a slight improvement in the price, with sales made by the close of the month at 15H cents. The price dur ing the greater part of April ruled close to 151h cents. On the 17th of that month the first break in the ranks of the large copper selling agencies occurred with sales at 153s cents. Sales at that price were very infrequent During the early part of May there was no change, but on the 18th of that month the price was marked. up to 15A cents, following by other advances until the close of that month found the price at 161k cents. The month of June witnessed another upward movement to prices: from 1894 to 185k cents. On July 1 the price was 19 cents. On the 10th it was 20 cents; on the 18th 21 cents; on the 17th 22 cents, while the 23- cent level was established on the 21st.

At the Tres de Mayor mine, 12 miles east of Nogales, the Bachman- Merritt Mines company, which is working the mine for its silver and lead content, has blocked out 5000 tons of Vanadanite. This rare metal occurs in a vein ten feet wide on each side of the main vein. There are two kinds, an orange and a gray product Dr. O. s. Bachman, man. ager, and one of the owners of the property brought number of samples to Tucson yesterday, in- cluding samples of the concentrates. Part of the ore is orange colored and the rest grey. The concentrates will run S225 ton.
 The Tres de Mayor is shipping reg ularly to the Fl Paso smelter it's high grade ore. Dr. Baehman has with him some beautiful specimens of horn silver, galena and steel gal ena from the property. About 30 men are regularly employed. The company Is just completing its store building and office.

rapidly, as conditions warrant. As it's output increases. costs will have a tendency to decrease.
 The construction of an experimental flotation plant for the treatment of its sulphide ores has recently been start ed and it is expected to be completed in September. This plant is being erected mainly for these ores, of which the company has definitely blocked out over 10000, ,000 tons. The latter figure by no means measures the extent of its sulphides, however. as practically all of it's drill holes were stopped in good commercial ore. It is planned eventually to treat 10,- 900 tons of these sulphides daily, but within three years a daily output of 5000 tons should be realized.
 This, together wit hits carbonates which are now being treated at the $5,000,000 teaching plant, should make daily output of at least 10, 900 tons and an annual production of con- siderably over 100,00O,000 pounds of copper. These figures are not con- sidered high. On the contrary, they appear very conservative, iu view of the favorable conditions. existing at the mine.
