Either one of the Inspiration ! , 1..... .1 T (. J"k1 Globe, Ariz., Dec IL An enormous amount of work Is betas prosecuted by the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company, covering: an area miles in length from the sinking: of the supply shaft west of Miami to the railroad ex cavation canyon. Ground Is already being: broken for the mill site, a steam shovel is grad ing: its own road through the steep canyons as it climbs to the point where it will work on the mill site, laborers are strung along the mountain sides building a IC-foot wide wagon and au tomobile road, buildings are being con structed, and the whole vast area of the Inspiration's surface swarms with.. One Drift Orer Mile Lone The company's mining operations are also a matter af vast distances and im mense energies. Not only do the many drifts and crosscuts reach a total dis tance of many miles, but one drift alone will be over a mile in length when finished. The long haulage level that will connect 'the Live Oak portion of the property with the two main Inspiration hoisting plants will be 6000 feet long. In November 4000 feet of development work was accomplished and during the previous month 4665 feet of ground was cut. The supply shaft, west of the town of Miami is already 270 feet deep. It is an inclined shaft of 30 decrees In clination through which all miners and supplies will enter- The shaft was raised from a depth of 265 feet from a tunnel through which the miners will reach the shaft. The latter -was ex tended to the surface to avoid the ex pensive work of cutting a station at the 265 foot depth large enough to contain a hoisting engine. Virtually no sinking is being done at Live Oak No. . 1, but a station is being cut there and a shaft started to ward Live Oak No. 2. The distance between these shafts is 2200 feet. Drifting between the Joe and Scorp ion shafts is progressing at a good rate and the contractors expect to finish the drift by the middle of January. Tunnel Work Finished. Work on the Sulphide tunnel has been finished, the tunnel now being standardized, or enlarged to 7 1-2 feet in the clear. Many of the sharp curves in the tunnel also have been minimized by the recent work, its .present trend being as near normal as could be ef fected without driving a new tunnel, an expense considered unnecessary by the present management of the prop erty. The "casing off" of the curves makes it possible to instal electric haulage in the Sulphide tunnel. At 'he mouth of the tunnel a concrete out through the sulphide adit. All the ore will be lifted through the twin main shafts on the Inspiration portion of the property. A considerable portion of the Live Oak ore body, because of its dip, lies at a greater depth thin the Inspiration ore body and workings. How this ore will be extracted has not yet been de tap the bottom of the Live Oak ore with a drift, or an independent shaft will be sunk at the Live Oak and the ore lifted to the present haulage level. An Iirrcrted Peak Body. On a line between the Joe Bush and Scorpion shafts, directly beneath a mountain whose summit marks the highest point on the Inspiration prop erty, is an inverted peak of ore be neath the haulage level of the mine. It contains about 500,000 tons of ore, an insufficient quantity to justify deeper workings. In other words the half million tons would not pay for the expense of driving the lower drift at the extra depth. While offices have been erected at the mill site, ground actually broken for the foundation of the concentrator, and much of the equipment to be used in the work of excavation already plaoed upon the ground, chief en neer H. Kenyon Burch will not yet ive out the detailed description of the plant. At the Miami company's plant the same regular routine of development and production obtains. All the recently constructed buildings are now in use, the machinery in the saw mill and other buildings being Installed, and the engineering offices and mine of fices being occupied. Two churn drills are still operating on the surface and two diamond drills are being used in boring a perpendicu lar prospect fcole from the 570 foot level. The management is not pre pared to impart any information con cerning the result of the drilling until further progress has been made. Dur ing the month of October 95,439 tons of ore were mined at the Miami and 2,789,000 pounds of copper produced. Gibson Maintains Output. At the Gibson, the company and leas ers are keeping up to their former amount of extraction. The . company will produce six carle ads of 16 percent ore this month and thr leasers probably will ship a cantr.ti. Because there is no crosscut from the main shaft to the Pasquale ledge between the fourth and fifth levels, it has been necessary to connect the two latter levels by a raise which will be converted Into a two-compartment chute upon Its com pletion. The ore mined between the fourth and fifth levels will be dropped down one compartment and the waste through the other to the sixth level and hoisted from there through the main shaft. This year's assessment -work on the Sho Me group, adjoining Miami, has been completed. Savage Mine To Ship. The Sa-age property, situated nine miles west of Miami, between the Union and Five Points groups, is be ing worked by Doc Prescott, Peter Carr and William Thompson, who will soon make a shipment of 14 percent ore to the Old Dominion smelter at Globe. The Savage property Is of a schistose formation similar to that of the Gibson mine and its ore also resembles that of the latter, being mostly chalcopyrite with a small per centage of chalcocite. Because of the poor condition of the Five Points road near the property the ore will be packed by burro train two miles to an other point on the road, whence it will be shipped to Globe. At the South Live Oak, hole No. 5 has been started and is now about 150 feet in depth. This hole is 250 feet west of hole No. 3 In which 65 feet of 2 percent ore was reported. As the formation of hole No. 5 is Iden tical with that of hole No. 3 It is thought that the continuation of the ore body may be" proved by the re sult of the last hole's drilling. SAYS MINING TAXES WILL NOT BE RAISED Governor Abrani Gonzales Denies That the Government Contemplates Put ting Burden on Mines. Chihuahua, Mexico. Dec. 11. Reports relative to an increase 4n mining taxos for this city, having their foundation, no doubt, from tbe large increase in customs duties lately enacted as a law by the federal government, were in circulation all week among the min ing and mill men. Governor Abram I Gonzales In a statement relative to , this says: . "So far as I know the government contemplates making no radical change in we present system ot mine tax ation and what la more I do not be lieve that such a step would be taken seriously by the national congress were it to be brought to its atten tion. The present tarrlffs seem suf ficient in view of the fact that the government receives a large income from this source. The government has every desire to promote and encour age the mining industry, which Is yet in its infancy, and the mining men may rest assured that anything that is done In this respect will be for their benefit, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary."

Payday of the1 Inspiration Consolidated Copper com pany inaugurated the bimonthly pay day under the new state law. The Black Warrior mine also paid. The Miami Copper company will make Its first payment this month on the 10th and the second on the 21st. After this month the Miami company will ray regularly on the Cth and 21st and the Inspiration company will probably do the same The Patagonia mining district. Ari zona, is becomiikr very lively, accord ing to J. Fritz Niderjnaier, a mining engineer who has arrived Ip EI Paso from that district on his way to Can anea. The whole country is filling up with miners, investors and pros pectors. In the various pamps there is evidence of great activity. The Three Rs mine is making regu lar shipments to the smelters, part of the ore going to the Douglas smel ter and part to the smelter at Hayden, Ariz., and development is being pushed. These shipments amount to 100 tons of ore a day and the ore is hauled to Bloxton. a siding four miles I estV nf T trtrrr iln ctoHnn ?Trt tliOTlOA by railroad by way of Benson to the smellers. Mr. BaumvicK is superin tendent, a mining engineer and grad uate of Columbia School of Mines. He is at present working 00 men and the force will be Increased when1 develop ments demand It. The principal work is being done in the main tunnel as extended, which is 900 feet long. Im mense ore bodies are in sight, the vein being from 10 to 20 feet wide. It is a contact lode running northeast and southwest and dipping about 60 de grees. Not Bonded by Clark. "The report that Senator Clark has bonded the Trench mine there, as pub lished in the papers, says Mr. Nlder maier, ' is erroneous. A Mr. Hoyt has the lease and bond on this property. I and he went east to raise capital. They are uniting en vein ttivas uiv gulch from the old workings, employ ing a small force to show up the vein. This is an extensively developed prop erty with a 300 foot shaft, which was done during the old days of the dis trict. The Trench Is away up the mountain and a mile anc a half cast of the World's Fair mine, which was until recently under bond and lease to the Copper Queen company of 'Bis bee." he says. A mile and a half west of the "World's Fair and down the canyon and within three miles of Patagonia station, is a little copper sulphide proposition on which McDonald and Stevens have a bond and lease which Is making a splendid showing. ' It is in a diorite porphyry near a granite porphyry contact. In it there is a four foot vein that runs 560 to ?75 per ton copper, carrying some silver val ues. It is shipping to the Copper Queen smelter. The Humboldt mine, which is said to be bonded to the Copper Queen company. Is another valuable property and development work on It is being pushed. "Uncle" Billy Powers, of Pat agonia, owns the Chief. It carries I copper and high values in silver. Other Promising Properties. A copper property neai the Du quesne mine, called the Cross, Is re ported, to be bonded by Brown to the Phelps-Dodge company, for $150, 000.

The Gray mine owned by Ilarry&Doug las, of Tombstone, is a rich silver and copper mine with great promise, and i is being developed. Then there is the Red Crane, a copper property. In active operation, and the Hardshell mine, owned by K E Richardson, which Is rich in copper, lead and silver, and the I Alta, one of the oldest and richest mines in the Harsaaw camp in wnicn Theodore Roosevelt Is interested, and who is expected to go out there to see It this winter. The old Hermosa is owned by G. Cochrane, of Pitts- 1 burg. Pa., and Mowry mine, once owned by Col. Mowry, a military officer In the early 60s. The Duchesne mine, owned by George Westlnghouse. of Pittsburg, consisting' of a group of claims, are producing about a carload of ore a day. In this group is one claim he purchased from Capt. O'Con nor, of El Paso,, which is one of the biggest mines In that section. Ad joining the Duquesne group is the Joe Wheeler group, owned by Capt. O'Connor, which is a fine copper prop erty and through which run the big lodes of the Duquesne group. He al so owns two rich copper properties a few miles south, near the interna tional line of Mexico and Arizona, f called the Line Boy group. This has I a lead seven feet wide rich in copper sulphides, carrying also molybdenum. '.ie vein runs acro&s the line into Mexico where Capt. O'Connor and Maytoreno of Sonora own several per tenencias. The World'3 Fair mine, owned by Frank Powers, Is shipping rich ore, running several hundred ounces silvei per ton. May Be Great Camp. Patagonia is gqing to be a great camp in the opinion of many, and many prospectors are rushing there. Miners are paid from $3.50 to $4.00 a day. The ground Is , covered with snow and It is pretty cold at present. The shipments are somewhat Impeded by the inadequacy of freight accom modations of the railroad, and the ore has accumulated on the platforms. The Mansfield, 12 miles northeast of Patagonia has once more begun work ing after several years idleness. Two double compartment shafts are being sunk and other development work is in progress. The Arizona-Anaconda property, which adjoins the Mansfield, Is under option to the United States Smelting company. This is a well developed property. W. H. Kelso & company cf Nogales, have bonded and leased the Veta Madre mine, near Washington camp from I. G. King, and are doing prospecting work on it and are said to have eight feet of c-ood ore in the bottom of their shaft. Boom Is Starting. A big boom Is starting over In the Santa Rita mountains west of the town of Patagonia, and a good many properties are being worked and shlp ers are active A deal of Importance I3 reported to have been made there In which the Lewishons Bros., of New York, took over three large properties located on the west side of the Santa Rita mountains under bond and lease, paying down $22,500, or 10 percent of the purchase price, and they have already put 85 men at work, which force will soon be increased - to 100 men. By wagon road this property Is about 26 miles from Patasonla. The Rupert mine, owned by CoL Richardson, has been taken over under bond and lease by Henry White, of the Granby Copper company, of British Columbia, and arrangements are mak ing to sink a shaft 500 feet deep. The Morning Glory mine, recently pur chased from Chris Wilson by the Ajo Copper company, is shipping to the C. & A. smelter at Douglas. The town of Patagonia Is on the boom.

Cananea, Sonora, Mexico,, Dec 11. November was the Danner month for Sonora, according to the value of min eral exported into the United States. Through the port of Agua Prieta 2,37S,100 pesos worth of mineral was exported, and from other portions of the state a like gain is to be seen. Cananea shipped heavily as the Can anea Consolidated Copper company produced 8,300,000 pounds of copper during the month. Small properties in the south are also shipping the limit of their capacity. The total for 1912 through the port of Agua Prieta will amount to almost 20,000,000 pesos, according to present indications. In Cananea everything is running full blast. The Cananea eompany especially is making more copper than ever. Great Falls converters, four in num ber, are installed in the smelter build ing, a further increase is expected in the -production of the company. At the mines of the company everything is in fine shape and new strikes of ore are being made at short intervals. The new shaft of the Capote mine is now down to the 500-foot level and will continue to the 1OOO. It is at pres ent being raised from the 600 foot level. Connections with the old shaft are already made at tbe 300. 400, 500 and 600 levels. The new conveyor belt between the bins at the mine and at the railroad have been completed. New Compressor Installed. A new compressor has been installed at Puertocltos, there being a greater demand for compressed air at that point. The new ore body on the S00 foot level of the Elisha mine Js proving to be of some extent. Already 55 feet of the ore has been cut. and it aver ages between 6 and 7 percent copper. There has been a crosscut also run In the ore and it has already cut 24 feet of the ore, with the grade continuing between 6 and 7 percent. The ore body at Henrietta has been found to extend from the 300 to the 400 level, and the values average be tween 6 and 7 percent copper. A conveyor belt is being installed at the Duluth mine, which will carry the' ores from shaft No. 3 to the bins at the main shaft. This will obviate the necessity of much surface tramming. The conveyor will be 580 feet long. La Cruz mine, located 40 miles east of TonlchI, is now being worked. Con tracts for development have recently Deen let. xne property is owned Dy Cananea parties. Loinpszo Renames. The Lampazos mine, owned by the Banco de Sonora, and located in the southern extremity of the Moctezuma district, has resumed, operations. Re cently there has been Installed a con centrator which contains crushers, five tables and an equal number of van ners. There is quite a large amount of ore on the dump which will run be tween 40 and 50 ounces in silver. H. J. Wendler Js In oharge. . The Cananea-Boston company, of Cananea, will soon reorganize. The Ormos mine, located In the Moc tezuma district, has begun shipping its high grade ore. It is a silver propo sition and has been In operation all summer, notwithstanding the revolu tion. A new tunnel has been started on the opposite side of the hill from the main workings. It will be 1200 feet long when completed. The main tun nel is in 600 feet, all In ore. having followed a vein from the surface. The new smelter of the Minneapolis Copper company near Cumpas is rap idly nearlng completion.
