that mining operations in Arizona are
reverting to their pre-war gait was
contained in a recent announcement
that another company had reopened,
\ and was resuming work on a large
scale in its properties in the Rice

tain from three to four and one-half
per cent of copper and is considered
by its owners an asset of great value.
An old silver mine again has come
to life. Its superintendent is credited
with the statement that all depart
ments now are in action. Machinery
is being moved in, a new mill and
other reduction apparatus is being as

poration is said to be in control of
the property.

a large white quartz outcrop. Devel
opment is said to have aggregated
about 1700 feet with gold and silver
values.
