This stock is also to be*listed on the New York and Philadelphia curbs. In addition to this gratifying in dication of the interest taken by in vestors in the gold mines of Mohave county comes the announcement that E. McNeil & Co., of Chicago, have purchased 200,000 shares of Gatman Mining & Milling company stock and will list them on the Windy City curb. The holdings of the Arizona-Tom Reed company adjoin the well known Pioneer Consolidated mine, in the north end of the camp. Ore is in sight having an estimated value of $200,000. On this (jornpany’s Trio claim values range well into hun-' dreds of dollars to the ton, and in places they are so concentrated that prospectors have made excellent wages by mortaring out the gold. Arrangements are being made with the owners of the Pioneer Consoli dated to work the property of the Arizona-Tom Reed company through the Pioneer shaft. A drift is to be extended from the 200-foot level into Trio ground. This makes it unneces sary for the Arizona-Tom Reed to install a heavy plant of machinery and put down a working shaft before the exact location of the ore body, at depth, is known. As the shaft of the Oatman Gold Mining & Milling company is deep ened the ore body struck last week widens perceptibly and increases in gold content. All the ore is of milling quality. Rapid progress is being made by the Ivanhoe Consolidated company in driving a crosscut on the 200-foot level. It is expected that the con tract of the Carter and Fox veins, which is the objective, will be reached before the end of August. The ore body opened last week on the 400-foot level of the Black Eagle of the Tom Reeu company has been crosscut 32 feet and there is no sign of the hanging wall. The average value for the entire 32 feet is S2O a ton, but 14 feet samples much higher than that. At a depth of 200 feet this ore body is 40 feet wide. o YAVAPAI HIT TOP IN EARLY AUGUST PRESCOTT, ARIZ., Aug. 19. —Twen- ty-three cars of copper bullion, aver aging to each car 50,000 pounds, was the tremendous tonnage handled the first week in August by the S. F. P. & P. from two stations on its line in this county, which goes down in the productive history of Yavapai min ing as without counterpart in ship-, ping annuls. Os this immense yield of the red metal only three stations are enumer ated as the receiving points—Clark dale, Jerome Junction and Humboldt. The latter furnished three cars for the week and the others 20 cars. In the aggregate there was represented in these shipments over 1,000,000 pounds of coppr, which at the pre vailing quotation per pound, would reach nearly a quarter of a million of dollars. If this weekly ratio of production is maintained for one year, and which, it will in all probability, these two sources of production will reach the huge sum of over $10,000,- 000. While the tonnage handled by the railroad is noteworthy, there are other productive sources in shipping to be taken into consideration, and in this instance are not credited to the Yava pai copper field. Scores of mines are producing and shipping, and the ores in a majority of cases carry red metal values as a factor in valua tions. The high water mark is an index to the resources of this field, where facilities are in evidence to treat the product, and which it is anticipated by movements maturing at several new camps, will be in creased materially within another year over the splendid showing now estab lished. The Little Daisy, Copper Chief, Commercial, De Soto, and sev eral lesser properties, are fast enter ing the stage of heavy production to color the Yavapai mining atmospherity ever known, and without taking into consideration the practical efforts of ' those in other metaliferous channels, i Q 3 TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 20.—The Cop • per Mountain group of copper claims, . near Vail, has been sold to William r Reid, Alex McKay and John Nelson ? for $25,000. Their intention is to be •, gin development work at once. There is an excellent showing of rich aul s phide ore on the surface of the Cop . per Mountain claims but practically - nothing in the way of the develop ment has been done NtW HERCULES 10 . Slid OPER4IIONS The Arizona Hercules which nas been lying dormant is coming into its own. New blood and big money have taken over the interests of Col. W. P. Dunham. Within a short while the uirt will be flying from a new shaft which the Hercules will sink and the hill wiil be dotted with churn drills pounding their way into the bowels of cne eartn to* locate the extent of the present ore reserves. Plans for the mill to be erected, which will be de signed to treat 200U tons of ore per day, are being gotten out and within tne year the company will be turning out the red metal at a tremendous rate. C. E. Addams, formerly assistant superintendent of the Ray Consoli dated at shaft No. 2, has been ap pointed general manager and is rap idly pertecting his organization. Henry Krumb, consulting engineer for the company, and who had cnarge of the development work for the Her cules when it was explored With churn drills, will have direct charge of tne churn drill work which will be started at once for the purpose of trying tne present developed ore body with other ore bodies revealed by scout holes to the east and southeast of the present developed ore. The Ray Hercules has an authorized capital of 1,500,000 shares of $5 per share. The principal members of the new syndicate, which has control of the Ray Hercules are, J. G. Hopkins, for merly managing director of the Ari zona Copper company; August Heck scher, the largest stockholder in the New Jersey Zinc company; E. P. Earle, president of the Nippissing Mines company; N. F. Brady, son of the late Anthony Brady; F. C. Arm strong of New York; Geo. A. Huhm and J. B. McCall of Philadelphia. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
