the Miami Mining and Milling com pany, evidenced by the progress made by this company since it's or ganization two and one half years ago.
 The company was originally organ ized by local capital to develop their holdings of 560 acres located on Min eral Creek about fifteen miles from Globe on the south side of the Pinal mountains. The claims were prospect ed for gold and silver about twenty five years ago on what is known as the Bob Tail group. Considerable high grade mineral was shipped from the property at that time, but the To- cation of the property forced the own CTS to abandon work on account of the high cost of getting material to the mine and shipping the ore to- Globe.
 M. w. Tanner. we'll known Colo rado mining man, was placed in charge of the property about two and one half years ago, and since that time wonderful strides have been made in developing the property ana preparing for active mill work. A tunnel has been driven into the noun tain to a depth of 5S0 feet. Five minor veins were encountered in this tunnel, the veins ranging from three to twenty eight feet in width. The main dike is 2S feet wide and carl ries values in gold, silver. lead and iron. This dike crops out at the sur face 300 feet above the base of the tunnel. Eight mineral bearing veins are visible at the surface and will be cut by the development tunnel sev eral hundred feet below surface.
 The No. 1 vein is 16 feet in width, assaying $10.20 per ton in gold and silver on the lowest assays yet re- ceived Good milling dirt can be found on the surface over practically the entire holdings of the company. Superintendent Tanner plans to have a 50 ton mill in operation within the next six weeks at which time he hopes to have enough ore on the dump to keep the mill in continuous operation. Over 250 tons of mineral bearing rock is piled on the ground waiting for the mill to start. Two sets of leasers working on the old tunnel and the shaft have 100 tons of high grade ore at the mill site. The shelter ore will average $75 per ton, but the average low grade rock will run around $10 per ton.
 A water channel was encountered about 400 feet from the mouth of the tunnel and sufficient water is now flowing from this source to supply | the mill with water for all purposes. | MT. Tanner estimate the mill will re- ouire about 40,000 gallons of water each "A hours and he says the present flow will take care of that amount. ! Pumps are not required as the water !! flows through the tunnel and to the mill by gravity which makes the | The only pump on the ground is used for cooling the gas engine and afr complessors.
 Close to S50,000 has been expended | in development work and installation | of machinery to date. The present equipment includes one 50 horse | power boiled; one 300 ton rock crusher; one 50 ton slow speed Lane Mill; four Wilfley concentrator tables; one 30 H. P. steam engine | one four drill compressor; one six | drill compressor; one SO H. P. en- | zine; one 40 H. P. engine and com plete mill equipment. An eighty | horse power engine and four addi- l tional concentrator tables are in | town awaiting shipment to the prop erty.
 Steel rails have been laid the en.l tire length of the tunnel and a three ! inch air line runs from the compress n ct of hn | The concentrates will be shipped tol Globe by auto truck: the gold and | silver concentrates being shipped to | the local smelters and the lead con | eentrates will be shipped to the Fl Paso shelter. The present mill is being equipped for the amalgamation and concentration of ores and a cy. | anide unit will be added later.
 Twenty one men are employed at the property at the present time but this force will be increased as work progresses. The employees are com fOrtably located at Doak, where every | accommodation is furnished them. A | store, restaurant, post office. fifteen or sixteen we'll built tent houses. of [ flee buildings and storehouses give Doak the appearance of a prosperous l mining town. An auto truck makes daily trips to the property from Globe, carrying provisions and mail ] to Doak. The county road leading | through Russell gulch has been en- tirely rebuilt during the past year and the Miami Mining and Milling company has constructed three and | one half miles of private road from the main county road to their prop. | eTty at Doak.
 Superintendent Tanner is confident | he will add another big producer toi the Gila county list and predicts 1 bright future for the property. Sev- eral big stockholders of the Miami | Mining and Milling company have ! recently arrived in the district and will make. their future home at Globe |
