MEXICAN MINING CONDITIONS.
Cheap labor, no union organizations,
low taxation, absence ot legal com
plications, a complaisant government,
excellent climate, low cost of living,
tc, form such an Ideal combination
of conditions that the steady and in
creasing investment of capital in Mex
ico Is not to be wondered at, cspec
laly when we turn to conditions now
existing in Colorado, California and
Montana. Yet it is to be feared that
many disappointments will bo exper
ienced. Conditions axe changing so
rapidly in the southern republic that
it is by no means certain the condi
tions in, say, two years' time will be
anything like what thy are now.
Until recently business enterprises
were well scattered, and interests did
not clash to any serious extent. Now
interests are beginning to overlap, and
it requires but a very slight gift of
prophecy to foretell fierce litigation,
with heavy legal and government
fees, in the near future. Labor, too.
Is getting scarcer and higher priced.
Taxation, so far as it affects mining,
is steadily increasing. The cost of
living is going up. "With powerful and
conflicting interests the government
must stand clear of complications, and.
undoubtedly, the chief executive will
leave more and more business to the
courts. Instead of exercising his pres
ent policy of benevolent despotism.
It must take at leist two or three
years before the enterprises now be
ing started will be well under way,
"Will the conditions then be as they
are now? We believe not. So dif
ferent in our judgment, will bo the
state of affairs that esterprises which
require conditions such as those which
now exist for their success will fail.
The men who will wia out are those
who know the people, the language,
customs and the miner side of the
governmental organization. This
knowledge can only be -obtained by
long residence and study of condi
tions. Men who attempt to do busi
ness with large capital and without
such experience are inviting tailure.
That has been the crerience in the
past. Yet it is only fair to 'state that
after dearly buying lli knowledge re
ferred to, and after an initial failure,
many men have taken that experience
and with little resiJ.u-l capital have
made great successe-s. Mining Re

LION COPPER COMPANY.
G. W. Foreman, a well known bust
ness man. of Los Angeles, returned
home this morning after spending
several days looking over the Lion
Copper company's property in the
Agua Fria district. .11 Foreman is a
heavy stockholder in this company,
and says that he is more than pleased
with the showing that has been maoe
during the past few months, and that
preparations have bcti made to push
work as fast a3 possible. The main
dtaft is down some 1C5 feet and sink
ing wi? continue to 'Ii.s 300 foot level
before any cross-cutting will be done.
Some very high grade copper ore has
been euncountered, sarpples of which
Mr. Foreman has takon with him to
p!ace on cxnibition at the company's
omce. That the Lion Copper compa
ny have a good mino there can be no
doubt for sJl indications point toward
this property developing into one of
the best in this part of the country.

ternoon. The water will be allowed
to raise to the 900, where it was orig
inally struck. The ct mpany -will Im
mediately start a shaft on the other

probability be a regular four com

it has reached the proper level they

operations of importance can be un

THE CALUMET & BISBEE.
A Few Happy Calculations.
In tho language of the old Jew in
"The Black Flag," we don't tell de
truth alt the time; we don't vas tael
It half tho time; we do vel to tell It
part of the time, but we are telling it
oil dis time."
The recent strike in the Lake Su
perior & Pittsburgh is an ever increas
ing wonder. It has been stripped in
the direction of the original drift, and
it has been crosscut by lateral drifts
for nearly 100 feet on each 6ide, and
it increases as developments proceed.
The Hoatsons have indicated their
claims to the championship as the
best judges of mining on the Michigan
plan in the camp. In this instance
they have mado a big hit. As a con
sequence of the recent strike the
company are rushing coal and other
supplies to the South Bisbee. or Lake
Superior and Pittsburs No. 3, the plan
being to sink to the level correspond
ing to the 1,000 on the No 2, then drift
to connect with the drift and the new
discovery on the No. :'. The ore body
which has just been -discovered runs
vouth to southwest, ind is within 1,700
feet of tho Calumet & Bisbee line.
Now the same character of ore is to
be seen in Bellesisle ana Baxter slopes
on the 200 in the Copper Queen, and
though they have produced their mil
lions arc still unexhausted. In the
Scuth Bisbee No. 2 the same charac
ter of ore is to be found on the 900,
end at the end of the drift which
s.tmck the discovery it dips to 1,000,
and at the White Tail Deer over the
hill it ccmes close o the surface
a gam.
Now the South Bisbee No. 2 has
struck it properly on the 1,000. It
runs in :lie direction of the Calumet
& Bisb. The Scuth Bisbee just
f latched its back it :,000 The Cal
umet & Bisbee, topographically, is
ubout 140 feet lower.
- Calumet & Bisbee is now S.
f'iet deep, with every indication at
tending tho operations cf the South
Bisbee. At a depth of 1,000 feet the
Calumet & Bisbee would be on a level
about corrospondinj; with the 1,140
en the South Bisbee. Then to the drift,
they would not scracth the back of the
great ore body but,would. hit it
scuarely r.round the waist. Now since
the immense ore body is tipping to
ward the Calumet & Bisbee, and the
indications at a corresponding depth
are strikingly identical, and tho prox
imity is intimate. The Calumet & Bis
bee people have a right to be enthus
iastic over their projects.
TWO CHANCES.
B F Copple yesterday brought to
our office some very fine samples of
copper ore from two claims he has in
the Dixie mining district. The claims
are known as the "Only Chance" and
the "Last Chance." On the former
Mr. Copple has an incline shaft down
30 feet, in a ledge tne width of which
has not been determined. In the bot
tom of the shaft Is an -re streak about
13 inches wide from which some good
assays have been obtained. A short
distance below the surface the ore
gave 14 per cent copper, $2.98 in gold
and $1.60 in silver.
The Last Chance has only an assess
ment hole, but shewji a streak of ore
rirh in copper No -says have yet
ben made. Pieces of -ork, melted in
the forge, give buttons of copper that
can readily be worked by an ordinary
hsmmer.
Mr. Copple has taken up his resi
dence in Mesa, and is anxious to in
terest mining men in the Dixie dis
trict, which he thinks :s bound to come
to the frpnt with so:c bic mines.

LET IT BE ARIZONA.
(Rrom the New York 'limes.)
According to present report, New
Mexico, instead of trying to get pro
motion to statehood in company with
Arizona, thinks it will be easier for
herself :f she abso-bs the rival aspi
rant, with the result that one boom
instead of two will have to be asked.
That Is a very pretty scheme for
New Mexico. Arizona, however, re
gards it with high disapproval and our
smpathies are all with Arizona, not
because ihe idea of seeing her a state
gives us any fervid joy, but because
the proposed absorption would oblit
eiate rrom the map of the United
States a name in every way satisfac
tory and perpetuate there one that
possesses no single merit. "Arizona"
is a delight to the eye and ear alike,
v.hile "New Mexico" has every fault a
rsme can combine without becoming
resolutely repulsive. It long since
ceased to be true in meaning and it
will be more and more false with ev
ery year that passes will, that is, if
there is any accuracy at all in the
cairns and prophecies of the New
Mexicans. It would be far better for
Arizona to do the absorbing, or, if not
that, to do the naming. This done,
the quarrel would lose all interest to
outsiders, except that on general prin
ciples tho outsiders would prefer to
have these territories come in as one
state instead of two, there being a full
sufficiency of their kind in theu nion
already. But do let the one state be
Arizona and not New Mexico!
