MINING AROUND wIckENBuRe

Reports from the Orc Verde, east
of Wickenburg, which recently gave
assays as high as $125 per ton, are
very encouraging, and development
is going on apace.
The road over the Brooks hill, Civ
ing access to the district south of the
Monte Cristo, is being crowded to
completion.
Nick Oberon, who lives at Sayres
Station, has had streak of good
luck adjoining the old King Solomon
mines, and is extracting some very
rich ore.
The latest reports about the Great
Southern Mines, of which Charley
Nathorst has for two years been the
active managing-superinte are
that the shutdown is only temporary
and the mines are expected to reopen
again shortly.
jim Deck has had some fine speci-
that is almost rich enough to talk by

Col Fred Bowler sand AL Irvine
have had some very important rep
resentatives from Montana and the
East investigating their property
south of Wickenburg of late, and,
sub rosa, our reporter promises some
startling developments are being
made that will talk for themselves
when the proper time comes.
The Verde Group adjoining the Vul
can mines are proposing to put on a
force of men to extract the fine gold
ore reported struck there about a
month ago
A story from San Domingo, one OF
the old camps, coming to life again,
is that Jim Caskey has huge pro-
motion planned for his holdings that
have long been the talk of that Sec
ton.
The Buckhorn mine, about 18 miles
from Wickenburg, being operated by
Manager Fisher, is said to be look

in that neighborhood, but lack of
rain is holding them back. Wicken-
burg is the stockmen's home and

Pouquette brothers, Lou Charlebois,
Jim Cameron, Felipe Garcia, Roman

brothers, Al. Purdy and many others.
A few light showers recently helped
feed shortage on the adjacent ranges
but feed is scarce and the watering
places are nearly all dry, except on
the Hassayampa river. One herd of
cattle now owned by B. c.. Straughan
is being watered by tank wagons
hauled out to the range by Gobble
Brothers. Unless rain comes soon
the situation will be serious and the
winter trade of the cattlemen will be
missed.

THE FUTURE OF ARIZONA

We believe that Arizona has
great future in store as an industrial
or manufacturing state. A few far
seeing Arizonans have caught this
vision, but not many.
The industrial development in Ari-
zona will come as the result of the
contiguity of unlimited and cheap
power to great supplies of raw ma
terials. When these two great re-
sources are each available in this
state, the intelligence and capital
which will combine them into manu-
featuring enterprises will not be
long forthcoming. The opportunity
will present such glowing promise
that there will be no shortage of cap
able men to seize it and develop it's
potentialities
Already we have the raw products
in degree enjoyed by very few
American states. Arizona has cop
per and cotton, timber, WOOL ashes
tos, and hides. To convert those
into manufactured products there is
lacking only the other factor of
cheap and plentiful power.
That will come inevitably. Amer
ica is short on cheap power. Ari
zona has it awaiting development
The economic demand for the utiliza
tion of that tremendous resource
guarantees that it's development
must follow in the not distant fu
ture, we believe most positively
The equities of the varying interests
| in the power will be worked out to
the satisfaction of all concerned, be
cause in the long run it will be rec
ognized that that will be the cheapest
and the best way to solve the prob
lem
The development Of Arizona dur
ing her industrial age will far sur
pass that <of all previous periods com
bined. The coming of hundreds OF
ing the era of fabrication is part OF
Arizona's destiny The economics
# the situation presage it.
AS coal, and iron in contiguity
made possible the unequalled devel
opment of the industry of steel SO
cheap power in contiguity to raw
supplies will some day mean brass
and wire mills, shoe and leather fac
tories, cotton spinners, clothing
plants, and fabricators of asbestos
products in Arizona.
With the addition of the power de-
eloped at the San Carlos and thru
the harnessing of the Colorado, Ari-
zona will possess power resources
greater than those of the Niagara
Falls district. She will also have
the big added advantage of great sup
plies of raw materials close to the
point of origin of the power. When
the inevitable combination of these
factors has brought the period of
fabrication to Arizona we will need
tens of thousands more acres of irri-
gated farm lands to furnish food for
the vast increase in population which
will follow. So it behooves us not
to forego any of our opportunities for
the reclamation of additional areas
within the state.
Arizona has a great economic fu.
ture. Wise will be the young busi-
ness men of today and tomorrow
who foresee that and prepare to reap
the harvest Miami Silver Belt.

TUNGSTEN MINERALS ARE OF
COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE

Tungsten has been important COM
mercially for a long time, especially
in high-speed steels, states c. w.
Harris, assistant chemist, department
of the interior, in Bulletin 212, just
issued by the bureau of mines. This
use has stimulated the search for
tungsten minerals throughout the
world. The following are the prin-
cipal tungsten minerals:
Scheelite-a tungstate of calcium;
specific gravity, So to 6.1.
Ferberite-a dark, grayish-black
mineral; specific gravity, 6.8. 1t
consists principally of tungstate of
iron, but may contain small traces
of manganese.
Wolframite and hubnerite-tung-
states of iron and manganese. The
percentage of manganese practically
determines the mineral although
there are gradations that make classi-
iication difficult under either head
j pICCtI 1UOnCAlbO CCtA IL 1Co cbOOOC -O
per cent manganous oxide, and typi-
cal wolframite to per cent.
Scheelite is found mainly in the
Atolia district of California; the larg-
est deposits of ferberite in the United
States are in Boulder County, Colo
rado. Small deposits of hubnerite
wolframite and ferberite are scattered
through New Mexico, Arizona, Ne
vada and South Dakota Tungsten
deposits occur also in Burma China.
Queensland and Portugal, New South
Wales, Argentina and Bolivia. In
China ferberite has been found in
placer deposits associated with small
quantities of tin
Apart from the ores, the products
that have to be analyzed are metallic
tungsten and ferrotungsten, intermed-
late products, and the various tung-
sten steels. Metallic tungsten is OBJ
tanned by the reduction of the oxide,
and may contain different tungsten
oxides due to incomplete reduction,
as we'll as other impurities Ferro-
tungsten carries from SO to 80 per
cent metallic tungsten; high-speed
contains as much as 16 to II per cent
metallic tungsten selfhardening
steels, or those requiring no temper
ing after forging contain as little as
215 or 3 per cent, with or per
cent chromium Extremely pure
tungsten is used in filaments for in
candescent lamps after repeated
swaging and heating has made the
metal ductile and fibrous.
