Important an nouncements of improvements in the ventilation system of its Bisbee mines may be expected soon from the Copper Queen company. A system is now be ing developed and evolved that -will be put in operation as soon as completed and -will effectually solve this problem. Even in Bisbee it has not been gen erally known that the Copper Queen company has an "air expert" here em ployed to devise the best possible ways and means for purifying the air with in the mines thus improving the health conditions of the men who work un derground. The mines of this company have never been considered "bad" by men familiar with underground con ditions, but the company has started work before such conditions arise and is to adopt preventive measures rather than remedial. Such plans are not by any means completed, but it is learned that expensive machinery will be re quired it being reported than one suc tion fan that is to be installed will have a sweep of 32 feet The developments will prove as in teresting as anything that has been undertaken in the copper mines of the southwest and will mark another step in the effort of making the conditions of underground workers as comfortable and healthful as possible.

In this way they will be able to work below the ore body that is now being worked on the 1300 level and in the raise below. This ore body is be lieved to be one of the largest ever en countered in the district. Its depth is known to extend from above the -1300 to below the 1400 and the officials are confident that they will find large deposits on both the 14th and 15th lev els when they begin to stope. Below the Briggs, 800 feet south of the shaft there is a body of good ore, long but not of great width, that has been blocked out and is ready for stoping and shipping when required. This body Is large enough to last for a consider able time. At Junction Shaft. At the Junction a good body of sul phides was encountered in the past week. It has not been explored to great extent as yet, but the ore is declared to be of good character and to be a higb grade sulphide. Only preliminary work is as yet be ing done in putting the concrete in this shaft. A quarry is being opened up on the hill and molds are still being made and prepared to be put in position for filling when that stage of progress shall have been reached. Enlarged Output Possible. That the contract with the Shattuck would enable the C and A, to Increase its output has been known, but there has been considerable surmise relative to the greater amount of sulphide ores the Shattuck ore would permit of re duction. It Is learned that the 200 tons of Shattuck ore of the oxide character will permit of the handling of an equal amount of C. and A sulphides, that is the output will not only be increased by the metal content of 200 tons of ore, but of 400 tons as regular shipments shall be begun. Such shipments will continue at 200 tons until the new C and A smelter is completed when Jt will be increased to 400. In the early days of the "Warren dis trict mines the proportion of ores as mixed for reduction was two of oxide to one of sulphide. As the latter ore came into preponderance that percent age was reduced from time tb time un- $3.50 Recipe Free, For Weak Men.

All of the companies have been complaining for some time past that they could not get enough skilled miners for the work which they desired to do, but it is ex pected thaf this will be obviated by afci influx of men leaving Bingham and Ely because of the strike. Recently there have' been a number of arrivals and all who are not so particular as to demand that they pick their own places to work have quickly found em ployment. Practically the only unem ployed men at present are those who will not work in some particular shaft or shafts, or in certain drifts that are less agreeable than other locations. The danger is now not that Bisbee will not have enough men during the coming winter, but that there may come an influx to the camp too great to be readily absorbed and that th-re will be many idle men. This is merely a fear expressed by some and is by no means apparent at tne present -writing. Shattuck Shipment Plans. The Shattuck company plans to start producing and shipping regularly to the C. and A smelter at Douglas about the first of next month, before that time the force will be increased ma terially, but this will not be until the latter part of this month. This com pany could start delivering 200 tons daily earlier than this, but is at present awaiting the completion of sampling works that must be erected for the proper handling of such shipments. "When these are completed there will be no longer any cause for delay. AH Claims Xot Taken. The impression prevails that the big mining companies of the Warren dis trict have gobbled up practically all of the claims. The fallacy of this idea is being disproved by the Commercial club SSlfVd8 'ffii TSSwn patented claims, individually owned properties and has already a consider able number of them on its books. For such listing no fee is charged it being in line with the policy of further de veloping the district., Exploration has shown the ore bodies to extend far to the south. ;The C and A workings below the Briggs are near er to Don Luis than to some of its other shafts, and what ;ies beyond those wbrkings remains to be deter mined by that company as occasion may demandT In that direction there is a considerable amount of undevel oped property individually owned and the same is true as to the porphyry country beyond where the Copper Queen is now doing pioneer exploration work and also beyond the Copper Queen, in another direction, this latter property being the last to be acquired by the Copper Queen company. This country is out In the lime and it Is here that some geologists have main tained that the largest ore bodies and greatest values would be found. DECREASE NOT SO GREAT AS EXPECTED Sonora Shipments, However, Show Marked Falling Off; Xccr Aban dons Sonora Mining Efforts. .Douglas. Ariz., Oct. 5. While there was a marked decrease in the value of ore shipments from Sonora, for the month of September, it was not nearly so great as had been expected in view of the fact that the Nacozari road was closed during the greater part of the period. The ore shipments from the south were undoubtedly boosted by the rushing of many cars of concentrates from Nacozari since the opening of the railroad during the fore part of last week. Xeer Q,iilt Sonora. After contributing largely to Sonora as a mining field and doing much to develop the state's mineral resources, O. L. Neer lias determined to abandon mining operations there. For this rea son he has spent the last 10 days look ing over mining camps of Arizona, hav ing several properties in view, any one of which he may decide to hond and develop. "I am tired of Mexico. Without di rectly robbing me of a dollar, the Mex icans have broken up three mining camps for me and rendered my holdings useless. They have done this by fright ening the men of the districts in which they were located or by forcing them to join the revolution. Labor, or rather the scarcity of it. is the sole cause of the closedown in each in stance," said Mr. Neer. OLD SANTA RITA MINES REWORKED "The magnitude of the operations in the great copper district I have just visited, which is In the district strict ly tributary to Kl Paso, is very im pressive," says E. H. DeVore, mining engineer." "In that district is one of th oldest copper mines in the entire southwest country where copper has been pro duced for over 100 years in a fissure vein or veins, ana now the same prop erties are being developed In what is known as porphyry copper, the value being disseminated in a monzanlte-por-phyry, acres in extent, surrounding the old mine, the surface of which is being worked by a system of steam shov els and produces ore at a very small cost. "It Is known as the Santa Rita mines and is owned by the Chlno Copper company. It is virtually at the door of El Paso and employing thousands of- men. The copper ore is of two grades The product of the mine and mill is treated at the El Paso Smelter, which thereby also gives employment to thousands of men. There Is a general air of prosperity In the Santa Rita min ing district." Mr. Devore has been engaged the past week examining some copper prop erties in the same district. 15c ...10c 15c 1 20c I MIED g iTfresewing machine heads the liitof inventions tfiaft lighten woman's laborsTyetrvhile?Velieving her of" the'itediousnessandeye-strain: ofVneedlework',!

MINING NEWS Inspiration Works 240 Men Underground; Prepare to Operate Black Warrior. Globe, Ariz., Oct. 5. In September, the Miami Copper company mined and milled 30,000 tons of ore, producing t concentrates that will yield about 2,- J 790,000 pounds of fine copper. The mill recovery wa3 about 70 percent. Three eight foot Hardinge pebble mills are on the road and they will replace the Chilean mills in the sec ond unit, making four of the six units that will be thus equipped. Eplora tion and development of the north eastern part of the property by two churn drills continues and the ground below the 570 foot level Is being ex plored by diamond drilling, four holes having been put down to date. At No. 4, or main shaft, foundations are be ing laid for the new change house, the new machine shop is being equipped and the new mine and engi neering office is being finished inside. The construction of the Miami-Inspiration hospital Is well under way. About 1000 men are employed. AVorklng 240 Men Underground. The main east shaft at the Inspira tion Consolidated mines was 305 feet deep on October 1 and the main west shaft 435 feet deep and sinking con tinues steadily. Development work at the Inspiration mine is confined al most entirely to opening up the first haulage level and 380(5 feet were done in September comparing with 4900 feet for August, the decrease being due to the fact that much of the Septem ber work consisted In widening to working size and timbering the drifts previously driven. There was an actual increase in the amount of work done, there being now 240 men work ing underground. At the Live Oak mine, drifting from No. "2 shaft on the 570 foot level continues. No. 1 shaft is being sunk, and the Sulphide tunnel is being widened for electric haulage. McArthur Bros, are using a steam shovel and employing about 250 men in grading for the railroads. At South Live Oak, churn drill hole No. 4 has been started about 1000 feet westerly from hole No. 3 In sllici fied, copper-stained schist and is now down over 50 feet. Churn drill holes 4. 7 and S, at Southwestern Miami are respectively 640, 1267 and 1020 feet deep. The last two holes are reported to be in chal-cocite-bearlng schist, no copper min erals having yet been encountered in No. 4 hole. Hole No. 7 is being en larged by under-ramlng, preparatory to drilling deeper. It is not stated whether the materral disclosed in holes 7 and S is of commercial grade. Repairing lllnck Wnrrlor. FIsk & Snell, lessees of the Black Warrior mine, are employing 20 men on the 100, 250 and 300 levels in clean ing out and repairing the workings and getting ready for actual mining. E. M. White, manager for the Warrior Copper company, has just returned to Globe from a business trip to eastern cities. The Gibson mine shipped five cars of chalcopyrite ore to the Old Do minion smelter in September. The ore Is reported to assay about 15 percent copper. About 35 men are employed. Tip Henderson is superintendent. John Gibson, who is leasing on the Black Oxide vein at the Superior & Boston mine, corresponding to the Buckeye vein of the adjoining Buck eye mine of the Old Dominion com pany, has shipped to the Old Dominion smelter three cars of ore from stopes above the tunnel level and Is loading a fourth. The ore is estimated to av erage 7 percent copper. Frank Gill is employing two men in developing the Iron Mass and Pitts burg group of 18 claims two miles north of Globe, adjoining the German Copper, Irene and Old Dominion prop erties. A prospect shaft is being started on a vein on a limestone dia base conduct having favorable indi cations of copper ore. ADS BY PHOSE.

"There is a comparatively new min ing camp of great promise, a little more than 20 miles north of El Paso, in what is called the Berino mining district," says Allen J. Papen, former owner and editor of the Rio Grande Republican of Las Cruces. -Frank F. Henry and I own eignt claims there which we have been developing ever since the middle of last December, which we call the San Pedro group. These mines are sit uated five and a half miles east of Be rino. New Mexico, a station on the San ta Fe railroad, and are on the eastern side of the main range of the Frannlin mountins, and about four miles north of the dividing line between Texas and New Mexico, and about six miles south of Bishop's Cap peak, just south of the wide pass between the Organs and Franklin mountains. "Our development consists of 10 shafts from 15 to 33 feet deep and a tunnel which we are driving in a fis sure vein, and which has already reached a distance of 124 feet from its mouth on the side of a canyon. This tunnel is driving on a fissure vein four and a half feet wide. On the side of the tunnel are stringers and bunches of galena or lead sulphides and also carbonates pitching from the east uto the fissure, the vein having a north and south strike. The same conditions oc cur in all the several shafts which we have sunk In the outcrop of the vein. The fissure is in a limestone country reck and is about 50 feet east of a con tact of hornfels or metamorphosed shale, and the vein dips east about SO degrees. Along the strike of the vein are numerous outcrops of iron and fluorite in the series of hills through which the veins course. The outcrop of the vein Is prominent for a mile and a half. There are also other smaller fis sures. The face of the tunnel is about 100 feet vertical depth below the top of the hill and when driven in farther will be about 400 feet in vertical depth below the apex of the hill. The ore which we have encountered assays all the way from 13 1-2 to 79 percent lead and as high as 2S ounces silver and a trace of gold per ton. "In pockets and streaks we have found enstatite, or what Is often called bron zlte. a mineral used to make gold paint, bronzing and gilding work, and has a large demand in the markets of Eu rope. There are also large bodies of iron, limonite and fluorite. Jas Cruces Men Develop Claims.

Our camp has the distinc tion of being the nearest live one to the city of El Paso. "A meeting of the board of directors .of the Organ Mountain Mining com pany which has taken over the Bennett Stephenson mining properties, was held last Wednesday m Las Cruces and a number of the eastern stockholders were present to meet Mr. McCullough, and Mr. Carpenter, the latter of whom is connected with the Scientific Ameri can. The result of the meeting was that arrangements were made to start operations on those properties within two months. "It Is also Reported in Las Cruces that George E. Fitzgerald, of Massa chusetts, has taken a SO day bond and option on the Torpedo Copper mine In the Organs and that his people will be gin working the mine soon. This mine is said to have yielded about 600.00 during the short time it was worked and still has immense ore bodies prac tically in sight" Mormon Mine Sold. The Mormon gold mine, a few miles northeast of the town K Organ, is said to have been purchased by a big Ari zona mining company, which I have been informed is the C & A company, of Bisbee. It Is rumored that they will begin large development work and sink the shaft to 1000 feet depth. Gen. Dunwoody, a retired army offi- oon I Mil y in J t iii AnJ in v 423 North cer, has been developing some mines in Modock canyon (formerly called Fil more canyon), which are up the can yon above Modock mine. The mine is a copper property. A shaft is down 125 feet and exposes a four foot rein of copper, both oxides and carbonates av eraging from IS to 20 percent in cop per. George Lerchen and Dr. Johnson are developing the Big Three group of mines three miles north of the town of Organ, east of the Excelsior mine and southwest of the Merrimack mine. They are getting fine deposits of cop per, silver and lead, and are down 150 feet- , . . Prof. J. C Carrera and associates have just received patents from the government to their big iron mines just across the river from Las Cruces, about 10 miles northwest of the town, and It Is said that extensive operations will begin on them In the near fu ture.

Five New Mexico men have taken a bond and lease on the Trilby group and active de velopment will be started as soon as machinery can be installed. At the Oaks company, the best ore yet encountered in the development of the Pacific mine is coming from the bottom of the south shaft at a depth of 100 feet; 165 tons were produced from the Pacific and Johnson mines the past two weeks and good ore is being mined from this company's work on the mother lode. Five prominent New Mexico men have taken a bond and lease on the Trilby group and active work will be started as soon as machinery can bo Installed. At the Mogollon Gold & Copper com pany work has been started on the properties adjacent to Mineral creek. Two hundred tons of ore were mined from the Little Charlie tunnel in the past two weeks.

(By Geo. H. Clements) Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 5. With cop per hovering near the 18 cents per pound mark; with new mines being opened up and old mine working be JDs extended, with the hills full of prospectors, with thousands of set tlers entering and opening up for cul tivation tens of thousands of acres in the fertile valleys, Arizona undeniably Is on the threshold of an era of re markable prosperity. Since September 29, when the new colonist rates went into effect, the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads have brought an average of 200 colonists per day into Phoenix. The Gila valley and Yuma valley have attracted probably as many more and no doubt the San Simon and Sulphur Springs valleys have had their quota of settlers or prospective settlers at tracted by the cheap rates and still others will be attracted as the low rates will remain in effect till Octo ber 10. Every mining camp In the state and particularly the big copper camps and smelter towns like Douglas. Bisbee, Clifton. Morenci, Globe, Miami, Kay. Hayden and Jerome are seething hives of industry. Not only are the mines, mills and concentrators running to capacity but the hills are alive with prospectors seeking to locate new mines, but every small mine in the state which was abandoned during the lean years is being rehabilitated, all of which means that men must be em ployed and fed and housed. That means money spent for food and camp supplies and therefor profitable busi ness for the merchants of the towns to which the camps are tributary. Reports from Tucson. Globe, Bisbee, Miami, Clifton. Morenci. Ray, Jerome. Flagstaff. Williams and other mining supply towns are to the effect that business was never so good and grow ing better, all of which is for the good of the state. Bumper crops were harvested this year in the irrigated valleys and top prices are being paid for them. The cattle and sheep men have had an ex ceptionally good year. Rains at the right time have made good grass. The calf and lamb crops were above par while the prices for beef and wool are higher now than ever before since Arizona become addicted to the beef and wool growing habit.

In the rich ore body of some 600,000 tons of mora than 5.5 percent copper, which was ac quired in the purchase of the Ray Cen tral property, Ray Consolidated has a, very valuable piece of ground. This ore body before the close of the year should play an Important part in the; company's production and earnings, largely increasing the former and to a still greater extent the latter. The management is now opening this ore body, and barring unforeseen difficul ties, production should begin by th latter part of November. It Is the in tention to bring-the output of this or up to from 600 to 800 tons per day. It Is Interesting to compute what this ore body will mean to Ray Con solidated. Its 673,000 tons, assaying 5.83 percent copper, is more than 3s percent higher than the average at Ray Consolidated's reserves. Owing to the richness of the deposit. 600 tons of ore per day would give a production of 18,000,000 pounds of refined copper per annum, or about one-half of what the. company Is now doing on the treat-t ment of 4500 tons a day. This one should be produced at a cost not ex ceeding six cents per pound, which, would mean that from this source alone and at the present price of cop per earnings in excess of $2,000,000 pep annum should be made compared with present earnings on seven times the tonnage treated, of slightly over 53,- 000,000. On an output of 800 tons per day production would be 24.000.000 pounds and earnings around ?2,S00.OOO. ADS BY PHOSE. The ordinary cost of a Want Ad. In. The El Paso Herald is 25 cents.
