CONCHENO CLOSED DOWN CAUSE OF HIGH WAGES Chihuahua, Mexico, June The old Co die no mines, operated by the Cia Befciadora del Conch eno at the place of the same name for many years, have closed down. The reason for this move is said to have been on account of the increasing wages paid miners by the Greene Gold-Silver company. MINING IN THE DOS CABEZAS DISTRICT Geo.

H. Wilson, manager of the Sterling Copper company's property in the Dos Cabezas mining district, was in Tombstone a few days ago.

In most every instance this withdrawal has been involuntary, so the members claim. It has been forced upon them by the campaign which New York Stock Exchange houses have waged against them. One broker who sent in his resignation said: have been obliged to adopt this course to protect our own business in Nevada mining stocks, which we are handling. Within the past, few days Stock Exchange houses doing business in this class of stocks insisted under penalty of giving their orders to other brokers that we immediately sever our connections with the mining board.

This imperative order has resulted in the movement to (he The governing board of the mining exchange has decided to take some definite action in the way of meeting the new issue placed before it. Several schemes are pending. Trading on the exchange has practicalyy come to a standstill. Guggenheim Meeting. A meeting of the stockholders of the Guggenheim Exploration has been called for July 2, to take action on increasing the capital stock to $22,000,000.

The notice of the call for this meeting states that during the past year the company has acquired or has contracted for the purchases oi large interests in important mining properties in Utah, Nevada, Alaska, Yukon Territory and British Columbia. These purchases or contracts have occasioned obligations of upwards of $10,000,000, and additional purchases are contemplated which will involve further outlay. It is to meet these obligations and to avoid the curtailing of the operations of tlie company that the increase in capital is purposed. The increase in stock will be from $17,000 000, the amount heretofore authorized and of which the company has thus far issued, or is under contract to issue. $14,090,000 to The $7.910.000 stock to be issued in excess of the $14,090.000 is to be issued at the rate of $200 a share.

Every stockholder of the company is to have the privilege of subscribing for the new stock to the amount of 50 per cent of his present holding. No subscription will be received for fractional shares. It is believed by the management that the consummation of this plan will greatly promote the interests of the company and its stockholders. Amalgamated Smelters. It is learned that the smelter plants of the Amalgamated Copper company are to be enlarged.

The capacity of the Washoe plant, the greatest copper smelting plant in the United States, which was built at an outlay of lions of dollars by the Amalgamated Copper company, is to be enlarged. It is said that recommendations have been made to enlarge its capacity oy 1,200 tons, bringing the total capacity a day up to 10,000 tons. The Great Falls, plant is also to be increased eight hundred tons a day, according to present plans. The demand for copper has taxed the capacity of the ore refining plants of the Copper Trust in Montana and a recent survey by officials has resulted in recommendations that the two big plants be enlarged. These plans are now being considered by of ficials in New York.

Summer Ore Movements. The summer movement of ore on the great lakes is reaching enormous proportions. It is now at the rate of 200,00 tons a day and will be increased considerably in another month. The Duluth, Missabe and Northern road, easily preeminent in ore traffic, expects to move as high as 2,000,000 tons a month during part of the summer. It has a schedule of traffic for the season of 11,280 000 tons, far beyond any ou against or artificially fcr aged Whiskies.

The second line in Tie business is the Duluth and Iron Range, which will move about 8,000,000 tons, and third is the Chicago Northwestern, which ships to two ports and from Gogebie and Monominee ranges, and will handle 5,500,000 tons. All of the independent companies are more active this year than at any time in the past, inis is shown by the number of mines they are buying after exploration and by their activity in exploring for new deposits on all ranges.

It will be a wet crushing cyanide mill with a capacity of from 150 to 200 tons and will pirobablv be the first mill in the Black Hills to use filter presses for slime treatment. The Homestake Mining company is at present erecting a slime plant which will contain twenty-four of these presses, but it is likely that the Reliance mill will be the first to be in operation. The 'total cost of the mill is estimated from $55.000 to $60,000, and it is hoped to have it in operation in August. J. C.

Wier, of Weir Bros. who has been absent for fourteen weeks making a thorough inspection of the Nevada mining camps, has come back to New York more enthusiastic than ever over the outlook of -the big mines of the bonanza camps. This was Mr. fifth visit to Nevada within the past four years, and he is more than ever convinced that, the big, recognized mines of Tonopah have before them a future that is only measured by the facilities for handling their production. Mr.

Wier is a great in the outlook at Fairview, the magnitude of the ore formation of the Nevada Hills appearing to him as forecasting a property of equal dimensions to any of the big Tonopahs. is your impression of was asked. to be frank with you, Goldfield. in a brief statement, is one of the greatest and most productive gold fields which has ever been my pleasure to witness. The pubilc in general, however, would like to see the management of those properties show a little more activity in the development of the grond, which would considerably increase outside interest and As to Bullfrog.

Mr. Wier said that great strides in physical development are going on there. Bullfrog is one of those free milling propositions where, very largely, ore showings in abundance are visible on the surface and outcrops. These outcrops can be traced without fear of contradiction. Arrangements are being made to celebrate the entrance of the Salt Lake Railroad into Bullforg district, about July 15.

Tonopah a Great Camp. George Foster, a mining broker, has returned from a month's trip in Nevada. He says: sum up my observations on my visit to the mines of Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog, Manhattan and other camps, it appears to me that the value of a number of properties have been very much underestimated, while there are others whose possibilities have been greatly overestimated. Tonopah is, I believe, the greatest camp of them all, but it has been developed for the past four years and thus possesses an advantage not enjoyed by its younger neighbors. As a matter of fact, comparisons between the camps are difli- cult to make, each one possessing characteristics different from the others.

For instance, Tonopah is essentially a higher grade camp than Bullfrog, yet the latter camp will, I believe, develop into the largest and most productive milling camp of the United States. Goldfield, again, is a big camp, but it is inclined to be ety. Bullfrog is without a doubt a milling camp proposition never before equalled by any district in this country. They can have any quantity cf water they desire and ore should be mined, milled and treated for less than $4 per ton. Manhattan is still a young camp.

At present there is not much water in sight. It will still take about fourteen months to establish the camp, but if the showing in sight continues there will be some good mines developed Guanajuato Concern. President Corning of the Guanajuato Consolidated Mining com pan in announcing that the company has decided to begin paying dividends, states that the property has increased in value during the last eighteen months and that its business of producing and selling gold and silver ores and bullion has also materially expanded. The floating debt arising from the enlargement of the plants and other additions to the stamp and concentration mill has been paid off and a substantial surplus accumulated. Sixty stamps are in operation most of the time.

The gross assay value of the output now runs per month $130.000 (Mexican), of which about 40 per cent, is profit. The foundations for twenty more stamps have been constructed, and a battery is now being put in place to further increase the mill to eighty stamps; electric traction is also to be installed. Ore Stealing by Mexicans. Reports from Guanacevi, Mexico are to the effect that the ore stealing on the part of the native miners there is on the increase and that the mine operators have made a special plea to the police to take a more active hand than formerly in the apprehension of these petty thieves, whose pilferings are taking a very noticeable impression on the profits. Insistent demands for large ton- HALF 1 Million COPPER CLAIM Almost Undeveloped Property Sold For That Amount to Chicago 800 Acres.

Dr. R. C. Van Dorn, surgeon for the Transvaal Copper company at Cumpas, Sonora has made public the nature of his mission in the east, from whence he returned this week. It was known that the doctor had gone east on mining business, but not until he returned did he reveal the result of his trip fully.

Wrhile in Chicago Dr. Van Dorn closed a deal with a prominent corporation for the property known as El Cobre de la Rosa Amarilla, located sixteen miles from Moctezuma. The purchase price is to be $500,000, all of which is to be paid within ty-eight months. The purcahsers have signed papers for a option on the mine. Dr.

Van Dorn would not make public the names of the purchasers, except that they comprise one of tnc largest manufacturers of copper arti eles in the country. A representative of the company will arrive here in a few days and will accompany Dr. Van Dorn to Moctezuma. The remarkable thing about the deal is that, the property is an almost undeveloped one, only a few feet cf work having been done on it. It covers 315 pertenencias, or 800 acres, as large as many ranches in this section.

The surface indications are almost unequalled in any mining country in the world as there are outcroppings twenty-four places, sulphides showing in some places in the outcroppings. The Rosa Amarilla is sixteen miles southeast of Moctezuma, and not far from the Promontorio mines, which are now springing into prominence. Surface indications lead to the belief that when work is begun on the property that it will develop into one of the largest copper producing mines in the world. This deal itself is the largest which has been made in Sonora since the sale of the Nacozari mints to the Phelps-Dodge company. Dr.

Van Dorn was formerly a surgeon in the United States army and twenty-five years ago he participate 1 in the Indian campaigns in Arizona. He has resided in Sonora for eighteen years and is one of the pioneer Amer- cans of northern Mexico. The present indication for a railroad from Nacozari to Moctezuma are of more than ordinary interest to Dr. Van Dorn. He states that if the proposed road is constructed it will be the greatest event in the history oF the Moctezuma district.

is said the doctor, a railroad will be constructed by either the Southern Pacific or the Nacozari in the course of time, but it looks now as though we are going to have it sooner than we anticipated. It will be a great thing for the nages of basic and bessemer iron mark eastern and western markets. In all that relates to grades of iron required by steel makers and manu- irfacturers of cast stel and malleable iron business is active. The reduction of rates from southern foundry iron has so far had small effect up- the markets. Steel Trade.

In the steel trades there is an ap- preeiiable increase in the volume of inquiries for staple products under contracts fo oe filled in 1907. Negotiations are pending with railmakers for round lots of basic rails for three western trunk lines, and a fair amount of business is doing in 5,000 to 10,000 ton lots for eastern and southern roads. Among steel a good deal of new business is offering under contracts calling for deliveries during the first half of next year.

BELEN COPPER 20 TONS DAILY Less Than a Year Old, This Property Is Showing Up In Splendid Runs $40 to $60. One of the important mining prises of which little is heard of in Sonora, is the Belen Copper company. Nevertheless, it is ranked as one of the most valuable properties in that part of Sonora, as well as being one of the biggest producers at the present time. This in spite of the fact that actual work did not begin on the mine until last October, not quite a year ago. At this stage it is even now paying from its output more than the operating expenses of the mine.

At present a force of 200 men is being worked at the mine, at. which the management has just installed a 125-horse power electric plant, including a hoist and small pumps. Over four thousand feet of work has been done, and ore is being taken out from a depth of 300 feet for shipping. Twenty tons of ore are being shipped daily, to the Trasvaal smelter at Cumpas. More be shipped, as twice that quantity is being mined, but owing to the scarcity of freighting outfits, which is felt throughout the country, it is impossible to ship more.

The ore is a very high grade copper, running in value between $40 and $C0 gold per ton. It also carries high gold and silver values. A ninety foot ore body is furnishing the ore. The company has purchased some small jigs and tower concentrator equipment with which experiments will be made, and if they are successful, to whqh all indications point, a concentrator will be erected. The mines are located thirty miles west of Cumpas and if the proposed railroad from Nacozari, through Cumpas becomes a reality it will mean much to the Belen.

Manager T. B. Bassett, who was in the city recently, stated that everything points to the early construction of the railroad, and as soon as construction on it is begun he will immediately begin work on a narrow guage road frcm the mine to Cumpas Mr. Bassett mining in Mexico for years. Before coming to this section lie operated a mine near Torres and previous to that time he was located in the state of Chihuahua.

The Belen is a close corporation, all of the stockholders being members of the board of trade and chamber of commerce of Minneapolis. LAST PAYMENT MADE ON PROMONTORIO MINE Jos. Obermuller of Douglas, and 11. Docker of Philadelphia, went to Alamos, Sonora, last week to make the last payment of $91,1000 out of a total of $250,000 on the Promontorio mine. The property was bought from Clemente Ybarra, who inherited it and worked it up to about a year ago, when the present deal was negotiated.

It is a silver-copper mine and the new owners are to start operations on an extensive scale. An electric power plant and reduction works are to be gold per ton with a little silver. Mr. eleh says the ore can be most successfully treated by the cyanide process and the very large bodies of ore make it already a proven great mine. This mine was bought by the present company from Tom L.
