I.. J. Williams has bonded the Grub
Stake property at Walker on Lynx
Creek, Yavapai county. The property
is owned by J. Comer and his two
sons and adjoins the well known mud
hole property. The ores are zinciferous,
but carry their basest values in gold.
The property is bonded for a Virginian
corporation and work will ln coin

The Commonwealth Extension.
Actual development work is in prog
ress on the Commonwealth extension,
near Cochise and Parker L. Woodman
of tin's city has been made general
manager. Mr. Woodman was superin

years.
He is now a permanent resident of

R. M. DeOex is in town from the Red
Rover property and reports everything
progressing in a very satisfactory nun-n-
r. The main shaft has been sunk to
a depth of 3r,a feet, with excellent ore
showing in every foot of the workings.
Sinking will continue and at the same
time drifts will be run in ooth direc
tions and stoping commenced as the
ore encountered is high grade and will
be shipped to El Paso. We are glad
to notice these developments which are
especially close to Phoenix.
Engineers and probable purchasers
aj- now examining the property of the
Parker Mining company,- fifty miles
north of Phoenix on Camp Creek. The
Shannon Cooper Co.
. The local office of the Shannon is
advised that during the past thirty
days there have been important devel
opments in lower levels of me proper
ty, one new ore body has been opened
for a length of over l.'iO feet, and for a
width of over 2T feet, without having
reached the ore limits. Assays of this
ore taken trom the full face of the
drift gave 0.4 per cent copper. Another
ore bodv was encountered on the sec
ond sub-level, of which samples taken
for a width of five feet gave an average
assay of 11 per cent copper. In open
ing up these rich ores on the lower lev
vis, the general aspect of Shannon has
greatly improved. The management
believes it assures the company a new
mine below the ore level, with much
better ores than on th-e upper levels.
Resides these improvements in Shan
non proper, one of the company's out
side properties has d- 'eloped into a
very productive minv. from which over
o0,00a tons of ore were shipped last J
year, and which is shipping at the rate
of 70,000 tons per annum. Another of
Shannon's outside properties which
joins the "King" mine of tile Arizona
Copper, company is also making ship
ments of limited quantities of high
grade ore. ;.nd gives promise of becom
ing an important producer. These out
side properties have been bought and!
paid for, developed and equipped by
the Shannon company out of its own
L. R. Logkr was in town during the
week, enroute to his marble quarries,
near Cochise stronghold. The quarries
produce a very beautiful varlgated
marble and probably the finest on the
American continent.
Ron is S. Cates has been made gen
eral manager of all the Ray Consoli
dated interests at Ray and Hayden.
H -re's a little remark of unasked for
appreciation concerning the weekly
mining notes, contained in a letter from
a well known mining firm in New
York. "Your articles are interesting
and valuable to us in the East and
will, we trust le long continued." We
have received many comunications of
a similar nature.
The December output of Calumet and
Arizona was 5,840,000 pounds of blister
copper against 4,918,000 in November.
This includes the output of Shattuck
Arizona.

T'pon the rnmpl'etion of the con
struction work now in progress at Mi
ami the income for the community will
amount to $0,000,000 yearly. The In
come of Rutte, Mont., one of the larg
est mining camps in the world, is only
a few millions ahead of these figures.
Rufte's annual income is $15,000,000.
Construction work covering a radius
of six miles is under way at Miami.
Fifteen million dollars are expended in
this vast work. Miami now ranks third
in the United States and fourth in the
work as a camp for demonstrated ore
body or reserves.
The Inspiration Consolidated is lo
cated at Miami. The only instance
where John Pierpont Morgan tinder
wrote the bonds of a mining company
was with this company. This repre
sents the opinion capitalists have of
this section.

as a rt.le been well kept although
tht mi'l ha3 been damaged by several
wind and rain storms. There are
several other buildings.
None of the tunnels or shafts
excejft the Mexican shaft have caved
in, the formation being absolutely
dry and requiring no timbering. The!
track is still in the main tunnel and j
branches, and usable. It would seem j
as if wiih the information now ob
tained, and which will prevent any
waste, energetic and honest people
could make the "Bully Cave," as it
is now called, pay very well.
It is understood the company is
not averse to negotiating with local
capital for a working arrangement;
and as the Bully Cave Co. has prop
erty on Bully Hill, California, esti
mated to be worth as much as the
adjoining Delamar property, and is
composed of men known in New
York to be conservative and responsi
ble, this is a case where some of our
local sharps might "sit up and take
notice."
It is reported that the Twin Buttes
Mining Co. near Tucson has at
present more men employed upon
the mine than ever before. This
property has a great future, undoubt
edly; it has large ore bodies and
very promising ground for making
more.
Oeorge P. Harrington, general man
ager of the Nelson Mining Co., near
Crown King, Yavapai county, lias
closed negotiations for the Ramon
group of claims adjoining the Nelson
property. The Ramon claims have
a system of natural springs, which
give a never failing water supply.
Gila County.
From the inspiration mine about
20,000 tons of ore per month is being
mined during development and is put
on the stock pile until the mill is
ready.
flood progress is being made with
the construction of the Arizona and
Eastern railroad from Miami to Rive
Oak terminal.
The Vivian Mining company and
the Boundary Cone, Mohave county,
operating extensively in the Tom
Reed ara, have ore in and below the
older Andesite, contrary to the opin
ions of proliabilities given by F. C.
Schrader in his report of the United
States Geological Survey, Rulletin 340

The Old Phoenix Mine.
We hav? been asked to publish the
following particulars of the Old Phoe
nix Mine. 50 miles north of Phoenix by
the present owners, whose office is in
New York City.
Tossibly very few mining men in
Phoenix, or vicinity, are aware of the
interest which has been excited in the
east during the past two years, by the
examinations of the old Phoenix Mine
at Cave Creek, made by eminent en
gineers and by the results of syste
matic sampling.
The mine is now owned by the Bully
Cave company of New York, which ac
quired it at the foreclosure sale which
was advertised in The Republican, and
all the obligations of the Phoenix com
pany were wiped out by this sale.
Patents of the claims and mill sites
have been obtained, old claims relo
cated and work upon them done and
several former water appropriations
relocated and the water diverted; while
plans for extensive improvements are
being considered. j
Without any flourish of trumpets,
several mining engineers of repute, and
several old prospectors have visited the
property, and have given it a thor
ough examination. They have had the
benefit of the experience of James F.
Smith of Phoenix, formerly superin
tendent, William H. Channel of Cave
Creek, who formerly worked at the
mine and several others who are ac
quainted with the work in the old days.
It has been definitely ascertained
that a canoe shaped ore body crosses
the property, from northeast to south
west. It is from 200 to 500 feet wide.
an( from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 tons can
be reached, in the opinion of Kirby
Thomas M. F. without any further de
velopment work. On the east of this
body is a quartz-porphyry dike, not
discovered by the previous owners, and
which may contain high values at
depth, and beyond this dyke there is
nothing but slate and schist, although
much useless work was done dnthls
formation by former owners.
The recent sampling, conducted by
Mr. Channel, under the direction of
I Mr. Kirby Thomas, has shown an un
expectedly high average of values. It
was supposed that most of the mass
was $2.00 ore. but lare-e areas hevo
1 shown an average of $4.55 and manv
Duncnes have run up to $12.00, $22.40
etc. me old stopes in their time yield
ed many thousand tons of $40 ore, and
it is hoped that this high grade ore as
not exhausted.
A wid? belt of Vanadium ore (lead
vanadate) has also been located in the
stopes, where badly leached ore has
assayed nearly three per cent vanadic
acid, leading to the inference that much
richer ore will be found at depth. In
the Phoenix Mine days this yellow va
nadium was the bane of the existence
of the mill men, who had to sit up all
night to keep the plates clear. Mr.
Constant, the celebrated chemist and
ossayer. who visited the mine says that
they probably threw awav $500,000
worth of vanadium, without knowing
its vala. He took samples of con
centrates from the dump back of
the mill, ar.d they assayed 21 per
cent vanadic r.rid: 1 ut about that
time the old Phoenix company went
to pieces and no one could be found
At the property of the Harris Cop
per company on the Agua Fria rfver,
50 miles north of Phoenix and ad
joining the Tribolet property, S00 feet
of development work has been done.
The company has an area of 550 acres
and a water right. It is reported that
considerable development work is con
templated and hoisting and compres
sing machinery will be installed.
The Department's Ruling.
In a statement by W. C. Mender
hill of the Interior department upon
the federal administration of the pub
lic lands, he sets at rest many mis
conceptions of the department's rul
ings. The following is an interesting
extract from his letter:
"Whereas, the Department of the
Interior by those decisions revolution
ary in theif effect has announced that
it is no longer sufficient for the lo
cator of a lode mining claim before
securing patent to discover mineral
bearing rock in place but that such
locator must prove that ore of com
mercial value exists within the limits
of each and every claim before the
department will pass such claims for
patent.
"This is a clear misstatement of the
department's attitude and similar mis
statements and misconceptions have
had wide circulation. The department
has said that there must be discov
ery of a lode possessing 'a present or
prospective value for mining pur
poses. This is not holding that there
must be discovery- of ore of commer
cial value, but is clearly in accord
with the letter and the spirit of the
statutes which require that there must
be a discovery of a vein or lode con
taining a valuable mineral deposit."
We are glad to give the above cor
rection and note that the (department
is not so heartless and impossible as
it appeared to be.
Mr. Joseph G. Allen mining en
gineer from Chicago, was in town
during the week.
Decrease of lead production in
Arizona.
The production of lead was about
7,000,000 pounds, or nearly one third
less than in 1911. However, the lead
production of 1911 was exceptionally
high and last year's output exceeded
that of the last eight years with the
exception of 1911. The lead ores and
concentrates were shipped to El Paso
and Needles smelters, as we have no
lead smelter in Arizona.
pti ere was a remarkable increase in
the production of zinc. The total pro
duction will amount to 8,500,000
pounds. The "Golconda" in Mohave
county was the greatest producer,
