ARIZONA BUTTE TUNNEL
 MAKING 5FI A DAY

I The long, deep bore of the Arizona
 Butte mines, now the Kingman Con-
 solidated Mines company, is going in
 at the rate of five feet to every round
 of holes, and while the tunnel is now
 being driven in the hard granite of
 the footwall, doing away with timber ing. The tunnel is 8 it. by it. in the clear and is following the big Prince George vein closely, but under the vein on the footwall side.
 The power house is modernly equip ped with a Diesel engine, Ingersoll- Rand compressor and No. drill sharpener, oil blast forge and other equipment of the latest type, includ- ing an exhaust and blower fan for ventilating the tunnel. The tunnel is equipped with four-inch compressed air line carrying 90 lbs. pressure, a 90 ID. pressure water line for the drills and ten-inch ventillating air pipe and drainage Hume.
 Preparations are being made for the use of mule haulage as a temporary means of transportation in the tunnel until electrical equipment may be in stalled.
 The flow of water in the tunnel is gradually increasing and though at present only about 1000 gallons per day, it is assured that at least 250 gallons per minute will eventually be attained, or sufficient to provide nec- essary water for large milling ton mage.
 A new compressor is being installed at the Banner mine, of the big group, to provide ample air for stopers on ore extraction in that mine, and to provide leasers with improved facili- ties. The company has operated the upper workings of the Banner mine under the lease system and leasers have shipped over 100 cars of good grade ore to the smelters. Some of this ore sold for as high as $2500 per car net. The management states that there are several good blocks of ground open for lease. Under the company's leasing plan the leasers are furnished all supplies, tools, and tim bers free of cost, and attends to all shipping and sale of ore, and facili- tates the work as much as possible for the obtaining of the best results. The leases are for a definite period of months, covering a defined block of ground. With lead and silver at top figures the leasing game never was as attractive to the men.
 The company mill will be overhaul ed during the ensuing months and im- proved by the installation of jigs and will later be put in commission to han dle the lower grade ores from levels below the old tunnel.

WILL ATTEND MINING
 CONGRESS MEETING

Dr. Charles A. l.. Gehrmann, o1 Oatman, departed last evening to St Louis, where he will attend the twen ty-second annual meeting of the American Mining Congress, which i. to be in session from the 17th to the 22nd of this month. The other dele gates from this county are MT. Ar. mold, geologist for the United Eastern and w. D. Phelps of the Tom Reed J. A. Burgess, general manager of the United Eastern, was also named as a delegate by Gov. Campbell, but is un- able to attend owing to pressure oi other business.
 This meeting of the Congress is one of the most important that the min ing interests has ever known. The subjects that will be discussed are vital issues in the life of our govern ment. They will embrace confer ence of national war minerals produc- CTS, national gold conference and a national exposition of mines and min ing. All the features embodied in the call will be taken up and the commit tees will probably go before congress with measures for the relief of the minerals industries and for the recog- milton of the necessities of stabiliz- ing our metallic currency and stand ardizing of the metals. One of the important features that will be taken under consideration and presented to the federal government is the enor- nous losses sustained throughout the mining country by mine owners and prospectors in development and in searching for the metals most vital to the government during the war. Men were in the field for months looking for the necessary metals, and those who were successful in their search gained nothing for their intelligent labor, because of the abrupt termina- tion of the war and the loss of a mar ket for all classes of war materials. Mills were built, roads constructed to isolated sections, mines brought into production condition only to have the bottom drop out and leave them stranded. There is not the least doubt that the government will find some means to relieve the situation and re- pay in a way the loses sustained but the fact is that these same metals are still necessary in the economy of the nation and effort should be made to continue production from them. This will be the work of the Congress.

RURAL BUCKEYE MINE
 DEVELOPMENT WORK

The main working shaft on the Buckeye mine is being pushed rapidly downward and within the next thirty days it is expected that it will be deep enough to begin the crosscut to the Rural mine, and unwatering that property so that exploration may be carried on there. The old Buckeye shaft and the old works are almost clear of water As soon as the mine has been drained men will be put to work clearing it of debris and catching up the bad places. Two crosscuts are under way from main tunnel level on the Buckeye to inter sect other claims paralleling the pro- perty. The drift is being driven a. head and the face is now in new shoot of high grade ore. This ore will be driven on and all the ground east will be opened at this depth. The property is looking better than at any time since the old work was discontinued some years ago.

BERKELY PROPERTY OPT|0NED--TO START
 DEVELOPMENT SOON

Thomas N. Stanton of Tucson and Charles L. Jones of Bisbee have taken an option on the Berkeley mine, situ- ated in Cedar Valley mining district, this county, the deal having been put through by J. s. Withers of Kingman. The men are interested in mining and intend to look after the development of the mines themselves.
 The Berkeley is one of the old time mines of the Cedar country, having been producer until the heavy inflow of water made it impossible to oper- ate the property. The ore shipped from the old works gave values in excess of $500 per ton. A working shaft was afterward sunk on a small part of the vein, the old working shaft having caved. This shaft was carried to the 100 level and a drift run off to the north. At the time this work was under way w. A. Scott, who had an option on the property, was assas- sinated in his office in Chicago and the heirs allowed the bond to lapse. The work had not been carried into the larger part of the vein and this ground is still intact. Another shaft was sunk to depth of over 50 feet last year on an excellent ore body, the shaft being equipped with good hoisting plant.
 It is the intention of Messrs. Jones and Stanton to open the old shaft and sink to a new level, whence the ore body will be entered. It is our belief that this mine will make good. Its ore possibilities are better than many of the mines now working profitably in this county, and with the opening of the vein below the present level a body of shippable ore should be en- countered. In the old works the ore showed a width of nine feet, large portion being assortable into high grade shipping ore, while the balance would make/a splendid mill product. The mine is situated in an ideal part of the district, good road reaching from the railroad to the mine. While this road may need some repair the expense of upkeep is not large,
 The Berkeley mine is owned by Mrs. Eleanor Dennis and J. J. Jerome.

HEARNE WINS. <, FIRST MONEY

Eddie Hearne, in his Chevrolet, last week won first money of $2500 in the 100-mile nonstock, class D auto race at the State Fair. The time was 1 h 29m. s., declared. by Referee Bullard the fastest 100 miles ever made on a circular dirt track. One mile was made in 49s. Roscoe Sarles, in a Frontenac, was second, less than five minutes later, and Cliff Durant, in a Chevrolet, came in half-minute later. They won, respectively, $500 and 5000. l.. K. Nicholson, in a Hud- son, was fourth. Waldo Stein's Old field Special was fifth, after repair ing broken gasoline line. c. G. Mil ler's Fiat went out early, and Toft and Armstrong failed to start.
 The race was a fast and clean one throughout and unmarred by accident. There had been a threatening dash of rain early in the day, and the oiled turns later were declared to have been too slippery.

WILL OPERATE PROPERTIES IN THE CERBAT SECTION

The surveyor general of Arizona has approved the survey of the Juror No. and Juror No. ?, Hubert E. Smith, claimant, situated in Wallapai mining district, near the old Cerbat mine. This survey was but recently made and now the property goes to the land office on patent application.
 MT. Smith recently purchased a large number of mining claims in the Cerbat and Todd Basin sections and expects to operate them on large scale. The property is developed to a considerable extent and shows ex- cellent bodies of ore. Further work will undoubtedly bring these proper ties into the producing class.

 TT ' OF RICH LEAD ORE

James G. Keezeler is preparing a carload of rich lead ore on his mine in the north end of the Walapai moun- tains and will have it on the way to the shelter next week. The ore will be sent out from Kingman. This ore is better than 50 per cent lead and carries good values in silver. MT. Keezeler is part owner of a mining property in the Cottonwood district that shows excellent values in gold and silver. The vein is of good width and is opened by shaft to depth of 100 feet. .,c rt ~

Would Be Worth HearIna.

Few dog stories would be so we'll worth hearing, if the dog could tell 1t, as that of Shep, a collie that belonged, and that. we hope still belongs, to a family that lives on the upper Scioto river. in Ohio. The family moved to the headwaters of Smoky Hill river. in Kansas. They went by train to Kansas City and the rest of the way by wagon. After year they moved back again to their old home in Ohio, but left Shep with neighbor in Kan- sas. Eight weeks later the dog, Gas thin as rail" and somewhat footsore, walked into the house on the Scioto. He had travelled 800 miles.-Youth's COmpaninn
