MINES AND MINING.

The Val Verde company yesterdavreceived a telegram from New Signannouncing an advance iu copper to11 J cents with market active andmany sales reported.

The county prosperity made an-other forward step this week and theoutlook is improving right along.The parties who secured the GoldBasin mines an eroing risht to workerecting buildings for their workmanand a cyanide plant. After repeatedtest they find it the best cvanidinirore on earth. The Scanlan springswill furnish the necessary water andeverv old timer in the country knowsthat thev have an abundance of S10ore that can be cheaply mined. Indi-cations are more than favorable thatbefore another week goes by theAmerican Flag in the Wallapaimountains will have a force of menat work. Mohave Mineral Wealth.

While engaged in making a cut inthe Wizard mine, on Big Bug, therailroad graders opened up a body ofore eight feet wide and 400 feet long.A portion of the rock was dumpedinto the grade, but later the grader- -are piling it up bv itself and savingit as it goes S30.00 per ton in gold.The property is owned by J. P. Dillon and Pat. O'Donnell. The rightof way which they sold to the rail-road company, traverses the claimlengthwise, and a portion of it goesright over the ledge, which accountsfor the opening up of this body ofore. This is said by people who arefamiliar with railroad building, to bethe first case known to them wherean ore body was encountered bygraders on a railroad. Of course theowners are considerably elated overthe discovery.

The Oasis, Xogales, has the following item regarding the Sonora Millingand .Mining company. Mr. Saihang.who returned from Tubutuma, reportsthat one of the mines of the SonoraMilling & Mining Co., a good flow ofwater has been struck which saveshauling water a longdistance. Mon-day President Con O'Keefe of theSonora Milling & Mining Co., wiredMr. John Dessart, treasurer of thecorporation at Xogales. that the orebody in La Fort una had greatly im-

proved and five hundred ounce ore isnow coming out. The new smeltingfurnace will be shipped the first weekin February and will be erected andblown in before the month closes.Mr. O'Keefe wired also that he had

. ,1 1 1oougm, ior tne company, a coppermine near at hand, the ore fromwhich will be used as fluxes.

Extraordinary mining operationsare being conducted at the old mintin Philadelphia by Dr. David K. Tut-tle- .

head of the department of melt-ing and refining, and a dozen of hismost expert men. The prospectingis on the floors, the ceilings, thetables, in cracks and crannies ofboxes, on old. dusty shelves, andfinally in chimneys, where soot anddust have accumulated for more thana half a century. Soot out of a flueleading from one of the furnaces con-tained 2 per cent of gold and silver.That percentage iudicates that in aton of soot and dust there would lefound fifty pounds of precious metalsworth between $8,000 and $10,000.The value of the sweepings on thefloor of the melting room has beenfrequently referred to. but Dr. Tut-tle'- s

miners don't stop at that. Nowthey are prospecting the broomswhich do the sweeping; they areworlj'ng out the wooden benches the

frames nnri corners and along shelf running around the roomon which crucibles have been storedfor years. In all of these rich findshave been made and the total goldand silver recovered will amount intothousands.

The Merchants' Mining companyhas decided to advance the price ofits stock on March 1 from 2." cents to35 cents per share. This action wa-tak- en

at a meeting of the directorsheld January 27. It was not takenwithout cause, as the recent exploita-tions of the property have disclosedsuch ore bodies, as well as values inthe ore as to justify the action. Themine has already several hundredfeet of development work done on itand good ore has been encountered.but as yet no ore has been taken outexcept that taken from opening themine. About March 1. the date fixedfor the advance of the price of thestock, the railroad will be completed,when they will be able to ship a large

. hIhwii!,. .i im .nut 1 1 i I.uujv'uu ji uic micaii, 1 1 1 i u t I1UI1JJ.as well as tocommence sloping in themine. Only the high grade ore willbe shipped, of which they can obtainlarge quantities, and the balance willbe permitted to remain oh the dumpuntil the company is ready to erect amill for its concentration. This willin all probability be only a questionof a few months time.

Copper has advanced to 13 cents,and the tendency is still upward.

The United Verde smelter, whichhas lieen closed down for repairs forthe past four or five days, started upagain today. Parties who have ar-rived from Jerome recently state thatthere is no truth in the reKrt thatthe force employed has been reduced,or that there has been any reductionin the output of the mines, t n thecontrary, the mine is being operatedto its full capacity, and arrangementsare being made to increase the pro-duct by the erection of an additionalfurnace.

It is reported that the general Elec-tric company of Boston has purchaseda big block of stock of the QuHBaMmines. D. M. Kiordan negotiatedthe purchase.

The latest we have heard from G.W. Hull is that he is in New York.arranging for a thirty-to- smelter to In-

put on his property in Mescal gulch.Oevelopment work on the 101. 102and K by the en tore Hill Miningcompany showed these claims in afnvorable light; since th.it work onthe Verde Apex group, which liesjust west of Mr. Hull's property, hasuncovered ore that dips in hi? direc-tion. This late showing of the VerdeApex is responsible for his earlv de-

cision to bring on a smelter. The i'i I

tention is to put up a 90-to- n jacketMr. Hull is tireless in hi effort to d --

I velop this propert' and we are veryi anxious to see him succeed. Jerome

The scarcit y of water .in the Crip- -

.pie Creek district is fast beaoBMafrja serious question to the people in-;- -:

volved. The lack of water KM ;i!- -'

ready seriously crippled the minCfl 'fthat district, and mauy of the larger!ones have already lieen obliged to I

close, thereby throwing out a grritmany workmen. Water has been anscarce in some places that as much asli" cents a bucket has Ixt-- chargedfor it. Nearly all of the mines onGold, Bull and fltlinlld hi!!- - Int.

closed down, and unless something isdone at once many others will alsoshut down. The breaking of theVictor dam last summer made it impossible for the towns tributary to itto store enough water during therainy season for the rest of the year.All of the mines owned or controlledbv W. S. Stratton, and also the Consolidated Mines of the Woods Invest-ment com pan v, are closed dowm. Thecold snap has also frozen many of thewater mams, greatly crippling thealready inadequate supply, this wastrue to the Damon, which was atlength thawed out so that work onthe property could be resumed.

The use of molybdenum has trebledwithin a year in the United StatesIn 1898 the consumption amountedto pounds of a value of 511.937for lN99it increased to 80,000 poundswith a value of $37.5000. Its principal use is in the manufacture oftough steel, such as is required forheavy ordnance, on account of itshardening qualities and

propensities under great heat.About 4 per cent is used in suchsteel. It is added to the steel in thefollowing forms metallic: Ferromolydbenum (containing 55 per centMo). Nickel molybdenum fcontaid- -

mg iii percent Mo), lhe supply ofthe L'nited States has come chieflyfrom New Mexicoand Arizona, thoughmore recently an active search hasleen commenced on the Pacific coast,with the result that there is now adividend-payin- mine on the shoresof Lake Chelan. Okanogan, Washing-ton and a considerable vein ha beenuncovered at White Horse Pass dis-

trict. Alaska. Throngh the efforts ofa local assaying firm, agents forEuropean purchasers, it has been dis-covered in the following localities,near Los Angeles, Pacoima, in theFernando valley, Frazier mountains,

entura county; Hemet, Perris,Riverside county; Jolon, Montereycounty; San Diego. Inyo; Kern inCalifornia; also Carson City andWhite Pine district in Nevada. Itoccurs in the older formations in theform of a sulphide known as molyb-denite, a gray metal, resemblinggraphite or galena. It lies in flakesand is easily distinguished from theminerals mentioned. The value ofmolybdenite in 1890 was $240 per tonior metal tnat averaged over au percent molybdenum. Local agents arenow offering from $250 to $300 perton. according to quality. Molybdenum 95 per cent metallic is nowworth $1.10 per pound. Among pros-pectors considerable confusion arisesregarding these prices. Los AngelesMining Review.

( ). O. Saxhung, secretary of the So-

nora Mining Milling company,who returned from TubutamaWednesday, verifies the statementthat in the lower levels of the Fortana mine a new Ixxly of ore running500 ounces and over to the ton wasstruck. He blought in some of thelargest and finest specimens ofsilver ore ever exhibited in Xo-gales. The new copper property re-

cent ly purchased by the company issituated two and one half miles fromthe smelter site, and for fluxing pur- -

posea can.run tae smelter for manyyears. Mr. Saxhaug is greatly pleasedwith the new purchase, not only as atime proposition, but as a high grade'copper prospect. The water questionwhich is always a difficult and oftenan expensive one in the Altar as inother districts in Sonora anil Arizona,has been settled at the mine for alltime to come; a flow of 140 barrels aday baring been struck 100 feet fromthe smelter site. This water will bestored in the immense reservoir beingbuilt under the direction of JoeThompson, of this city. PresidentO'Keefe and family are at the mineand Secretary Saxhaug will return ina few days. Border Vidette.

New Mining Brokerage Firm.

J. T. Pendegast, who has beenin mining work in the field on

the Prospect for some time past, hasresigned hi6 position and opened amining and stock brokerage office onthe ground floor of the Liiwler build-ing, in this city. The new firm willsample properties for customers,make examinations and reports onmines which they will have listed andfor sile. and the new establishmentwhich will le known as J. T. Pende-gast A: Co., will handle mining sharesin Arizona companies as well as min-ing claims iu Northern Arizona.Properties and stock will be negotia-ted on a commission basis, and thenew lirm ought to be very successfulas the time is ripe for just such a con-cern in this field.

The new firm are thorough miningmen and an- - familiar with the minesof the different districts in NorthernAri.ona, especially iu Yavapai countyand are well acquainted with mineowners and operators.

In their advertisement in this issuethey announce that authentic and re-

liable information will be furnishedto intendiug investors and parties in-

terested in Arizona mining, regardingthe mines and mining companies ofNorthern Arizona, and from their per-sonal acquaintence with the field andconditions, and the conservative prin-ciples on which it is intended to con-duct the business, the services of J.T.

Cobre Grand Case.The Cobre Grande Copper com-

pany case was argued in the supremecourt yesterday by Attorneys Morri-son and Barnes on one side and At-

torneys Wilson and Hawkins on theother. The argument was on the ap-plication of Axel W. Hallenborg andJames Shirley for leave to interveneand beeMM parties to the suit of theCoin e Grande Copper company vs. rWilliam C. Greene et al.

This is one of the most noted caseson record and involves capital fromNew York to the Cityof Mexico. Hal-lenbor- g

Gold in Philippines.On the island of Mindanoa, Surigao

province, about 400 miles southeast ofManila, there isa peculiar gold placerdeposit. A mountain ten miles westof the port of Surigao gives pan prospects on all aides from the foot of thehill to t he top. The gold in placeseems to be in small calcite stringersin serpentine, the extensive disintegration of the serpentine has liberated the gold, which is found inchrystalline form. A shale bedrockhas been exposed in some places inworkings in the ravines. Aboutfifteen Americans, mostlywere working on the mountains, butnone were raakihg wages. The Fillpino men and women have workedthe deposit for years and accordingto local authorities have taken outmuch gold. The Filipinos work thegulches and hillsides and also driftin under the deposits following goodstreaks, they use their hands and astick for digging and carry out theearth in cocoanut shells and basketsto water, where it is panned in awooden batea, in the use of whichthey are very expert.

Most of the Philippines are virginground, never explored by the prospector.

o white man has ever been in theinterior of Mindanao. The Spaniardsdid not venture far from the coast onaccount of the Moros.

.Many' of the streams and oceanbeaches give gold prospects. Thibest pan the writer saw was aboutseven cents to the pan.

Until congress passes a mining anda land law for the Philippines, butlittle can be done iu developing theislands. Land courts should be established to clear up old titlea. Mining titles will be easy to clear, as thelittle mining done by Europeans hasall been done under the Philippinemining law of 1846. The titles toagricultural land are in very badshape on account of many verbaltransfers and no records. There isno producing gold quartz mine in thePhilippines, but it is oartain thatthere will be later on. The writersaw one vein that assays $40 to theton in gold.

The climate of the Philippines com-pares favorably with that of the coastof Mexico and Central America, andis not unhealty for those who takecare of themselves. However it istoo hot for European laborers, and itis a good place for the workingmanto avoid. Ex.

The Coal Fields of China.A report has been published upon

the coal fields of China, and thosearound Tse-cha- u were visited byProf. Drake, who found that theworkable coal lies in one bed about250 feet above a flint-bearin- g lime-stone stratum, below which theremay also be coal. The thickness ofthe same is probably not less than 22feet and at one place it is workedthrough a shaft 329 feet deep. Prof.Drake estimates that within 150square miles around Tse-cha- u thereare about 3,000 million metric tons ofcoal. Most of Shan-s- i has beenfound underlaid by large coal beds.It is also considered that the anthra-cite coal of Shan-s- i amounts to 3.000million metric tons and that the coalarea is greater than that of Pennsyl-vania. Xearly all the coal is minedthrough shafts varying from 50 to 300feet. Xo steam is used for raisingthe coal to the surface and explosivesare employed. Very little coal ismined through inclines. For localuse coal is taken away in carts drawnby oxen.

SAM JONES ON BISHOP POTTER

Evangelist Makes Vicious Attack on

New York Divine For his AttitudeToward Prohibition.

A short time since the Journal-mine- r

published a quotation from anaddress of Bishop Potter, of NewYork, giving his views on prohibition.Evangelist Sam Jones has contribu- -

ted the following to an Atlanta,Georgia paper in which he gives hisviews. 111 rather a vicious manner, ofBishop Potter:

He charges that Bishop Potter rep-

resents no one but the "400" of NewYork, preaches the doctrine of thevoluptuary, seeks to broaden the tencommandments and liberalize the;moral laws.

The letter savsi "Bishop Potter ofNew York knows as little about uspoor white people in Georgia as wecare about him in New York. Heruns with a different crowd and trainswith a different gang. The good,God-fearin- g people ol Georgia are forprohibition and we don't like thenames he calls us and the names hecalls our pet theory, such as "impu- -dent fraud and imprudent failure.

CIVILIZING THE INDIANS.'

No More Long Hair or Painted Faces

to be Permitted Among the Noble

Brothers and Sisters.

A Washington special to St.Louis Globe-Democr- says: Mr.Hitchcock, secretary of interior,and Mr. Jones, commissioner of In-

dian affairs, have decided upon an-

other step toward the civilizationthe Indian. This is in form of adecree that Indians of both sexesshall hereafter be prohibited-- frompainting their faces and that menmust begin patronizing barber shops.Dances are also prohibited iu connec- -

j

tion with funerals and cere- -

monies. The agents of all reserva-

tions are instructed to carry out regu-

lations of the department which havebeen issued in circular form. Someof the provisions of letter toagents are as follows:

" The wearing" long hair bymale population your agency is

not in keeping with the advancementthey are making, will soon be ex-

pected to make, in civilization. Thewearing of short hair by maleswill be a great step in advance andwill certainly hasten their progresstoward civilization. The returnedmale student far too frequently goesback to reservation and falls into

old custom of letting his hairgrow long. He also paints profuselyand adopts all old habits andcustoms which his education in ourindustrial schools has tried to eradicate. I he fault does not lie so muchwith the schools ps with condi-tions found on the reservations.

"On many of reservationsIndians of both sexes paints, claimingthat it keeps the skin warm in winterand cool in summer Out insteadthis paint melts when the Indian perspires and runs down into his eyesThe use of this paint leads to manydiseases of theeyes.
