The building of dams will solve the
problem. The Lotowana people are
well along with tneir wonc on tue

probably 10 feet deep, 100 feet long,'
25 feet" wide and this is filled over
half with water now, when there has
been no rain for a long time. This
indicates the presence above of num
erous springs or other water sources,
for this excavation is gradually fill
ing. The Tub Springs wash also has
running water right now. In the
large wa,sh back, of .the Brill ranch I
had some Mexicans digging for bed
rock the other day, but they were
compelled to stop, the water came in
on them so fast. These things are
coming to light regularly, and give
confidence in the future and in the
success of the placering operations.
One old timer was with me the other
day and after he had seen Sanger's
and the Tub Spring and the big Brill
washes he said: "There's water here
in plenty and what a God's shame
it is that people did not know of it
before. There have been many peo
ple die light in here for lack of
water, when if this had been known
they' would have been able to dig a
few feet and get plenty. For, if
there is water here now, I am sure
there always is." And this is un
doubtedly the fact. Numbers of peo
ple have figured on the Hassayampa
water. The fact is, the placer ground
for the most part is from two to four
miles from the river. The Brill
ranch wash is close enough that water
from the river may be used on part
of it, but the balance must be saved
WICKENBURG DISTRICT
F. X. O'Brien owns -and is operat
ing the Camp B mine, ten miles from
Wickenburg, Ariz., and is meeting
with considerable success, develop
ment so far having been practically
all in ore, totaling about 1000 feet.
There is a 150-foot shaft and from
the bottom of this is a drift 500
feet, this being the extent in length
of the ore shoot. At this time J. W.
and E. Lambert have the contract to
raise to the surfact from the 150
level, this to be done for air and to
determine if this long ore shoot makes'
to the surface, as is probable, judg
ing by the iron capping at the sur
face, this material always covering
ore in this section. The ore is . copper-gold,
"a characteristic of all the
copper-bearing veins of the district
being that the gold content nearly
always is great enough to pay all
charges, leaving the copper profit.
Some water makes on the 150 level,
and here the sulphides come in. There
is found in this property black oxide;
chalcopyrite, chalcocite and native.
The property had been in desultory
operation for several years until Mr.
O'Brien took it over, since when it
has been developed systematically
and with good judgment. It has all
the appearance of a good profit, an
especially interesting and encouraging
feature being the sulphides so close
to the surface.
This whole country is granitic. In
the Camp B the ore occurs in a con
tact between schist and altered gran
ite. There is a little lime occasional
ly, and the gangue is a quartz. Much
work has been done in different
places, aggregating over 1000 feet;
but the .present development is the
best attempted, as it is in ore and is
so continuing. It is Mr. O'Brien's
intention to pursue the present course
till he knows his ground thoroughly;
and he intends pushing the 300-foot
drift another 500 feet to connect at
some depth with a blowout on the
outer side of the canyon. There are
numerous smaller veins on the ground,
which embraces twelve patented
claims, and all these arc mineralized.
The ore averages above. 3 per jcent
copper throughout the 'work. The
vein is above 20 feet in average-
width. In the raise the men continue
in fine sulphides, but of course ex
drills; -Mexicans are on tne ground
ow in the big Brill wash, to sink
numbers of test pits to bedrock.
but it is to be enlarged to 100 tons,
Miners will begin work tomorrow on
two faces in the mine. Mr. Akin has
determined jn an unique plan for ex
tracting ore,-Jas he will stope it down
from two tunnel levels, thus econo
mically handling. The openings are
all in" such position that ore will go
to,th9 mill by gravity. The mill will
easily be operating before Christmas.
A emi-pyrite smelter will be install
ed almost immediately after the com
pletion of the mill.
It is stated in Wickenburg that an
other, large placer mining company
is being formed to operate a consid
erable area in proven ground. It is
stated that these people will at once
begin the systematic testing of their
ground, nave surveys made and begin
excavating for the dam site, which
it is said will save 100,000,000 gallons
of water. This company is composed,
it is stated, of a number of experi
enced mining men, and that they do
not need to go outside for funds to
opprate., Their operations will com
mence within a few days, and the
probabilities are, it is stated, that
they will be operating on a good scale
by "the first of the year.
.The Vultura is putting on a larger
force -of- men for underground opera
tions on a large scale. The under
ground force has been somewhat
meager for some months past, or
during the sinking of the winze from
the 700 level, but now operations are
to go forward on a much larger scale.
This property has been producing, it
will be remembered, for more than
-thirtv vears.
pect soon to reach the oxidized zone.
Tho property is reached by- a fine
road, there is plenty of excellent
water close at hand. The outlook is
very excellent for Camp B, and as the
ownership rests in a man of means
development will continue till proper
for milling plant when it will be in
stalled.
The College property consists of
four full claims a short distance from
the Monte Cristo. fifteen miles from
Wickenburg, and is principally owned
by F. B. Jacobs. There is an su-toot
shaft, and from this considerable ore
was shipped, paying well. From the
bottom there is a drift, in good ore.
The" ore occurs in a 20-foot fissure,
and this maintains stability the length
of three claims, the outcrop being
very prominent always and in some
places it stands 20 feet above the
surface. It is a porphyry ledge tra
versing the granite in a northwest
southeaset direction. The ore on tho
hanging wall averages up to $14 per
ton; the entire average of copper con
tent is above 14 per cent copper, and
the ore shipped went $7.40 gold, liVs
per cent copper, 17 per cent iron.
There are probably 150 tons of this
material on the dump. Work is to be
forwarded during the winter. There
are several other openings on the
property, all making good showing,
and it is evident that greater develop
ment and depth will make this prop
erty worth while.
The Tomboy mine is shut down. It
was working a small force up to the
first of September, since when
"nothing doing." It is owned by
the Arizona Mines company, a Boston
corporation, and Mark Bradley of
Prescott is general manager and
agent; J. W. Nicholas superintendent.
There is a shaft down 3S5 feet on the
incline of the vein, 34 degrees. There
is a granite footwall, dioritc hanging.
Ore is copper-gold. The vein filling
is Yavapai schist; there is some
gneiss. Carbonates are here and some
glance. The porphyry is extensive,
and at one place in the mine they cut
52 feet of ore. It is a good prospect
and warrants getting greater depth.

this morning is due to the solicitude
of all of the neighbors', an excited
call for help over the telephone and
a fast speeding automobile which
brought a physician to the scene with
in a short space of time after she
had taken what might have be.en a
fatal dose of poison.
About 8 o'clock last evening Mrs.
Rivera, who lives at 209 North Gran
ite street, went to the family medi
cine chest to procure a block, of mag
nesia which she thought would be of
great benefit to her health. She
found the magnesia but failed to note
that a bottle of carbolic acid which
was in the same box had lost its
cork and the magnesia was thorough
ly impregnated with the deadly
poisnn.
Her first bite failed to warn her
of the presence of the poison but the
burning sensation which accompanied
her second taste of the harmless look
ing magnesia convinced her that she
was partaking of deadly poison. Suit
ing action to the occasion she gave
vent to a series of very healthy
screams for help which succeeded in
arousing all of that section of North
Granite street. Within a few minutes
a physician was on hand and the ii
ministration of copious draughts of
water and a powerful emetic soon
brought the unfortunate woman out
of danger.
The Riveras have been having moro
than their share of hard luck of late.
About eight months ago Rivera, while
sleeping in a tent at the ball park,
was struck in the head by a rifle
bullet, fired, perhaps thoughtlessly by
some marksman, and has been paral
yzed on his entire right side ever
since.
Mrs. Rivera, will be about today
but the family compendium of use
less and dangerous medicines will be
relegated to the city dump.
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT

RELEASED AFTER
PAYTNG COIN AND COSTS
