THE MINES
This department it under the di
rection of Mr. W. E. Defty, the
well known mining engineer, who
will carefully scrutinize all mat
ter! relating to mining in order
that only reliable information re
garding legitimate enterprises
shall find a place here.
The Republican would be pleas
ed to receive information from
any part of the state regarding
the development of the mining in
dustry. All communications
should be addressed: Mining De
partment, Arizona Republican.
Congress Tailings
Laboratory tests on these tailings
have proven that a high extraction
is possible, and following this up on
a larger scale, the parties interested
are now moving several of the old
tanks above the tailings to a point
on the northwest and below the tail
ings pile. When the tanks are re-
erected, a thorough test of the treat- i
ment will be pursued, and if the
process continues to be satisfactory,
the tailings will be treated on a very
much larger scale- It will be neces
sary to handle largely, for there is
an immense pile of tailings, the re
sult of an accumulation from the 40
stamp mill operating over twenty
years. It will certainly give satis
faction to see activity at the old mine
again.
Shattuck & Arizona
The Shattuck & Arizona company
reports that in No. 2 stope on the
300-foot level a raise has been
pushed through ore assaying $13 per
ton in gold and silver, with small
lead values.
Courtland
Development on the Great Western
copper claims, situated in this camp,
has ceased, and the pumps are being
drawn from the workings. Young
brothers, the owners, are directing all
their attentions and energies upon the
old Mammoth' gold mine on the San
Pedro in Pinal county. This old
property was a large producer in its
day, but was shut down when the
700-foot level was reached, and then
laid idle for some years, and until
Young brothers took hold of it. The

tailings from the old mill on tlie
property have' been concentrate;! for
their vanadium contents and cyanided
twice. The vein is a large and per
sistent one, and there is no reason to
doubt that there is a Ions and suc
cessful future career for the old prop
erty. The' vein produced the most
beautiful specimens of crystalline
vanadium m and probably more beau
tifully than any known mine. The
mine supported a thriving town at
Mammoth, and we are glad to again
see new life put into the old mine
and district by the Young brothers.
They are substantial and energetic
mining men, and no doubt a. prema
nent camp will be built up.
Acquisition
It is rumored that this property in
the Humbug district will again be
started up in the near future- Nego
tiations have been closed for a large
ly increased power plant. The dis
trict is a good one and has produced
considerable values in the past.
Irene
This old property, near Globe, is
about to be started up with an en
ergetic campaign of development. The
property was recently examined by
a well known mining engineer, and
since then all the necessary funds to
carry on active work have been
raised. It is expected that the future
work will be planned and commenced
by May 1. The party responsible for
raising the capital and who will di
rect the development arrived in Globe
last week. The property is an old
one, and at one time shipped some
very high-grade silver ore. Like many
old properties around Globe, they are
receiving attention, one by one.
Old La Paz Wash
The department of the interior has
sustained a decision of the Phoenix
land ofifce, including within the Par
ker Mohave Indian reservation a large
tract of land in western Yuma coun
ty, near the Colorado river, on which
a California company had started ex
tensive placer-mining operations. The
whole matter depended upon the lo
cation of Old La Paz Wash, and this
was determined by the testimony of
a number of pioneers who lived at
La Paz or Ehrenberg prior to 1875.
We have referred to those old
placer grounds in these columns sev
eral times, and the decision is what
we have expected. The area was a
very rich one and produced large
quantities of gold in early days. In
fact, at one time La Paz was a thriv
ing mining town of 2000 to 3000 in
habitants, with good, substantial
buildings. Twenty-five years ago I
can remember seeing- iron shutters
and window gratings standing up
among the mesquite which had grown
up since the desertion of the town.
Unquestionably, substantial values
could be recovered from the ground
todav, providing water could be got
ten upon it for sluicing. The ground
had been worked previously by dry
washers, and only a fraction of its
contents were saved by this process.
It's a pity the ground cannot again
be worked it is worthless to the res
ervation. It would be good policy if
'the department of the interior woum
' grant permission for it to be worked,
! or lease it in some manner. The
j company who has already spent con
i siderabfe money on the enterprise
i would be glad and willing, probably,
to pay a royalty for such permit.

His Last Shift
An old-time miner and prospector
passed away at Wiekenburg last week,
in the person of Lewis W. Crane. He
was aged about 83 years, and had
held claims and lived in the vicinity
of Wiekenburg for a number of years,
and owned mining claims upon which
he did work from year to year. He
was a kindly old man, and, like other
od hermits of the hills, held implicit
faith that some day lie would strike
it rich. He worked at his calling
until very recently. We knew hiin
for many years. He was absolutely
honorable and dependable.
Gibson Mine
The new owners of this property,
J. K- Davis of San Francisco and P.
F. Carney of Coldlield, Nevada, con
template, among other improvements,
the erection of an 80-ton concentrat
ing plant, for the purpose of treating
the lower-grade of sulphide ores,
which lie adjacent to the richer ore
veins. This will help the development
of the property considerably by ob
taining revenue from lower-grade ma
terial, for up to the present only
the higher grade of shipping ores
have been extracted and shipped, to
the smelter. At present the con
struction of new and large capacity
ore bins are under way.
Inspiration
The Inspiration Consolidated Cop
per company has issued its report lor
the year ended December 31, 1913.
The most significant features of the
report are a large increase in ton
nage, the decision of the management
to increase the capacity of the pres
ent plant to 10,000 tons per day, and
the authorization for an issue of
$4,500,000 convertible bonds.
The total ore reserves as of De
cember 31, 1913, are placed at S9,
643,000 tons averaging 1.64 per rent,
copper. Of this tonnage, 72,322,000
tons are sulphide ores averaging 1.71
per cent. These figures compare with
the tonnage reported at the close of
the preceding year of 45,000,000 tons
averaging 2 per cent. The only ex
ploratory work done during the year
was the drilling done in the .Live Oak
group. In thlp section, 6,858,000 tons,
averaging 1.39 per cent, copper, were
developed.
Woodbury
The Woodbury Copper company
property, which comprises over 100
claims, northwest of Superior, is un
der consideration by parties, and some
conclusive action may be arrived at
very shortly. Iast year the property
was on the point of receiving exten
sive developmtnt by a wealthy syndi
cate, but at the last( moment the deal
fell through.
Copper Metal Market
There has been but a small de
mand for copper this week, and, while
producers have held to their asking
price of 14 3-4 cents per pound, sec
ond hands have sold from one-quarter

sumers from buying freely and for
this reason the favorable statistics
for the month of March passed with
out having any particular influence
on the metal market.
The outlook for copper is better
than for most industries, owing to the
existence of a foreign market for it
and because of the gradual consump
tion of surplus stocks during the
past three years, but it is not very
bright at the moment as Europe has
laid in a considerable stock for future
consumption and our own manufac
turers are not getting the expected
increase in the demand for their prod
ucts. The copper industry is so
closely related to the expansion of
railway and other facilities that in a
broad way the future is decidedly
bright.
In Mexico
The mine managers in Sonora have
decided to stay with their properties,
irrespective of the warning. Again
Americans have been warned to leave
Mexico. The message from the state
department came to Consul Simpich
at Xogales, in the form of a tele
gram from Secretary Bryan.
In a conference held in Douglas the
heads of the various American min
ing companies operating in Mexico
decided not to suspend operations,
houine and believing that this sec
tion of Mexico will not become in
volved with the United States.
Following is the text of Bryan's
telegram to Consul Simpich:
"Huerta has refused to salute the
American flag as demanded by Ad
miral Mayo as an apology for the in
sult offered in arrest of American
sailors- President Wilson will lay
the matter before congress, with a
view of taking such action as may be
necessary to enforce respect for this
nation's rights. Please notify all
Americans and other foreigners. Af
ford every possible protection, re
minding Americans of the president's
advice to withdraw from Mexico until
order is restored. Advise depart
ment immediately of number desir
ing to leave and give such other in
formation as will enable us to under
stand and provide for the situation."

ICICLES CAUSE TROUBLE
By Falling from the High, Buildings
On n.'S ' 'U .ivaw- w.
Two men were walking past a
downtown skyscraper the other day
when a sharp report startled them
and one of the men had his hatbrim
and his face scratched by jn object
that had fallen from the bui'ding.
When they recovered their composure
they looked about to see what had
caused the trouble and they discov
ered on the sidewalk an icicle that
had broken into a hundred fr.
ments The man whose hat had been dam
aged was trembling from the scare,
but he was averse to making a com
plaint. As he figured, he was lucky
in escaping serious injury, and he
advised getting out of the danger
zone as soon as he and his com
panion could do so.
His friend was more indignant
about the matter and advised enter
ing the building and placing the
matter before the superintendent. He
thought it at least incumbent on the
agent to supply a new hat ami he
thought that that would be letting
him off easy.
So hey entered the building and
were directed to the superintend
ent's office. That official glanced
lip trom his desk and noticing the
man with the smashed hat in hia
hand was quick to divine the reason
for the stranger s call.
"What's this, an icicle case?" in
quired the superintendent. "Hat
smashed? Well, I am glad it was
nothing more serious. Just wait a
minute and I will make out an order
for a new hat, for I know it is the
least that I can do for you."
The superintendent promptly filled
out the order for a new head-piece.
Then he passed to the man whose
hat had been ruined, remarking
"That is only one of the troubles
we have to contend with in operat
ing this building. Superintendents of
all tall buildings experience the same
trouble in the winter. We take great
pains to keep tho icicles off the
structure so they cannot topple
down on pedestrians and we have a
force of men continually working on
the troublesome ice, but with all our
caution and labor we cannot work
fast enough to keep up with them.
They form so quickly that we can
not prevent some of them from fall
ing to the street.
"We do everything in our power
to lessen the danger by paying par
ticular attention to the large icicles,
because we realize that some of them
are so big and heavy that if they
fell on a person's head they might
fracture his skull. It is bad enough
to have one of them smash a man's
hat; but we do not wish anything
more serious to happen if we can
prevent it.
"Naturally, if we did not have
snow or rain accompanying the frost
we would not be bothered with Ici
cles, for then there would be no
water to freeze. It is much easier
to handle the situation when it
snows, for we can send men up to
the roof and have the snow shoveled
off. By removing the root of the
trouble we forestall serious results,
although it is utterly impossible to
remove all the snow before some of
It melts and the water dripping over
the edge of the roof forms icicles.
"When it rains it increases our
troubles, for all the water does not
find its way down the drain pipes.
Some of it overflows and icicles
cling to the edges until we can re
move them or they fall before we
can prevent them." New York Sun.
HAND GEOGRAPHY
The geography class was in session
and the teacher pointed a finger to
the map on the classroom wall.

pupils and settling on the small boy
at the end of the class, "what do we
