Brief Summary of the Most
Interesting Items.
Silver has scored a rise unparalelled
in history. This district is ribbed with
silver ore bodies of great magnitude,
and nobody breaking their necks to get
some of it.
Mohave county had a splendid ore ex
hibit at the Prescott Eair last week.
It was in charge of Commissioner Mac
Duffee of that county.
By what rule of legal procedure the
laws of the state on gambling are vio
lated each year at fairs’ carnivals, and
exhibits is a matter the miners and la
bor organizations are taking up with
the attorney general. Prescott had a
sensation on this score last week that
nearly broke up the fair,
Sheldon mine, Walker district, has
been reopened. The U. S. Consolidated
is opening up the Independence mine
on the Sheldon vein.
More than a billion’s worth of silver
and gold has been produced in Nevada.
Tonopah is now staging the biggest
mining boom ever seen.
Somebody with SSOO or a SI,OOO sur
plus will do well to look up Chas. Hos-
Hosford, Sam Powell, Steve Loncar,
Geo. Koyk, or any of the Wickenburg
old miners, for Immediate attention.
They all have properties that should be
producing silver and copper.
The Abe Lincoln mine, near Wicken
burg, is running three shifts, and brisk
extraction of 20 % ore reserves has
begun again.
The Dragon mine, eight miles from
here is now completely equipped with
new mill and machinery which is about
ready for work.
John W. Kelly, as ex-sheriff of Kern
county, knew where he had a score of
years previous served executions on
defunct mining corporations. He went
out and relocated a few. Now he’s
shipping 150,000 worth of ore a week.
With silver at $1.20 to $1.30 miners
are everywhere searching for ore, and
new strikea are reported every week.
A mining deal was closed at Phoenix
this week, whereby F. S. Poss, of New
York and Geo W. Long of Phoenix ac
quired a part of the stock holdings of
the Kay Copper mine. Immediate de
velopment plans include a 1,000-foot 3-
compartment shaft. Fully three million
dollars worth of ore has been blocked
out down to the 600 foot level.
Senator Ashurst has wired that cer
tain portions of various Indian reserva
tions thru the West on Nov. Ist, are to
be thrown open to the public.
The mining exhibit of the State Fair
is now in its permanent quarters that
are a credit to the state and which will
have an exhibit that wiil be the state
museum of minerals and mineral re|,
sources. This building will be open
daily the year round and co-operation
of all miners throughout the state is
earnestly solicited. The mineral ex
hibt will be arranged with the carbon
ates, sulphides, arsenides, etc., all put
in separate cases. There will be cases
showing resurces of each county of all
minerals. Separate cases will cover
all the metals, and ores of each of the
big producers, showing copper, silver,
gold, iron, manganese, mercury, etc. of
all grades and varieties. Rocks of an
desite, trachite, diorite, monzonite, and
others of marble, building stones of all
descriptions, including clays, bricks,
terracotta, etc. The oil resources of
the state will not be neglected, cover
ing shales, oils and coals, Charles E.
Willis, is the assistant superintendent
in charge.
The shaft of the United American at
Oat man is down 235 feet, Stringers of
quartz are showing in the bottom.
High grade in the winze of the Daisel
mine at Cerbat. The orebody is over
six feet wide at 200-foot depth.
The double compartment shaft of the
Rural-Buckeye at Mineral park is now
down about a hundred feet. It has a
complete electrical equipment.
Nuggets of silver and silver buttons
are derived from mines discovered in
the Wallapai mountains by a miner
named Tom Sides.
The American Mining Congress has
just issued an official call for a National
Gold Conference to occur at St. Louis,
Nov. 17 to 21 in conjunction with its
annual convention.
October 7 the current was turned on
for power to run the machinery at the
Shea mine near Jerome.
Joe Cavanaugh, engineer of the U,
Verde, and Harold Colwell of Ray, have
acquired the Blue John and Wedge sil

Preliminary work for a box dam on
the Verde at Box canyon for irrigation
purpoces is under way.
Concentrator at Swansea.
The concentrator at Swansea is now
running in good shape. Four cars of
concentrates have been shipped to the
Humboldt smelter go far this month.
Two shifts were started in the mill on
Oct. 14. Excellent results are being
obtained; in fact, equal to any results
obtained in any copper mill in the state.
During the past week three well and
favorably known millmen have signed
up as permanent mill operators: Chas.
Buck, former mine shift boss, is now
mill foreman; for second shift, Julian
Ellison, late with the forces in France
for two years, is now in civilian cloth
ing and working as flotation foreman;
J. C. Drilam, a flotation man, very
well known in Mexico, will have charge
of flotation on the third shift as soon as
ready; D. Murr, well known in Phoe
nix, and former millman from the Oat
man district, is the third man. The
latter represented Phoenix very credit
ably in the marine corps in France,
having spent two years with the fa
mous marines.
Regular shipments will continue to
the Humboldt smelter. Mr. Barber
has surely helped put Yuma county on
the producing class again for mill ship
pers.

MINING AND SCIENTIFIC PRESS
BOTH FOR $4 A YEAR
It is a well known fact that the Mining and Scientific Press is the
leading mining authority of the U. S. and offers mining men and engin
eers the latest in mining practice, metallurgy, ore dressing, smelting,
modern mining equipment, metal prices and latest mining news and de
velopments in the world. It is a vital asset to mining operations, an
inflluential and independent publication owned and edited by mining en
gineers. It has long refused to club with other publications and does
so still. In this case H. B. Watson, publisher of this paper, is now and
long has been the agent of the Mining and Scientific Press and he is
thus enabled to turn his commission to subscription account of the State
Miner.
