ike the Contention, the management look anxIously forward to the day wher the pumps will begin to operate, thai the question may be settled as to wna' aw 4its them below. In the meantime all are hopeful. The mine is yie.'..Ha its usual quantity of ore.
 We are indebted to the bepu0hcan iol the following report On Iomostone mines:
 The Alps.-Shaft No. 2 on the Abs IS now down 120 feet in ore and porphy ", and the further sinking of suafs goes on AS fast as six men can drive IT, and the owners are very sanguine that but few days will be required to strike the main ore body. IL Is intended to continue thIs shaft down te the 2O0-fOot level, and drift both wRys from the bottom thereof. assays from the bottom of shaft give S5O per ton in gold and S47 per ton in silver. At an elevation of 400 feet above this No. shaft ore has been encountered going $40 per ton, which IS an eneourag- ing prospect
 Luck Sure.-The work of timberinG and straightening the main shaft has been prog essinG steadily. The main shaft is now l4O feet down and a force of ten men employed. A new whIm is in course of erection and the gra dingis all through with. Within few days, hoist ing ore will be recommended. and the capacity will reach POO tons per month. The last assays made of ore raised prov ed the fact that as depth is attained, the average is gradually increasing in value, and 75 ounces per ton for the large quantities of ore in sight.
 North Point.-The main shaft on this property, which is an extension of the Content and COntentment claims, is slightly over loo feet. A drift 30 feet long has been run from the bottom of the shaft, in which their main ledge has been struck, assays from which have gone as high ss S206 per ton.
 Silver Belt-This mine has been at work again. Thelr main shaft IS down 2sO feet, and the porphyry raised shows extensive naturalization. The ore met with varies in value, going from S14 to Sl0 per ton.
 Sidney. Sidney IS parallel claim to the Grand Central south exten- sion on the west. and Is to be again started up next week. The owners Of this property are very sanguine of thelr having mine; and if 60, the properti on each side may yet prove dividend paylng and bullion producers.
 The same journal learns from a gentle man who came from Bisbee that the late developments in the Cave mine con- tinue; that the strike lately reported was by no means exaggerated, proving this valuable property and indicating The direction of the Copper Queen ore body
 In the Atlanta, which lIes parallel with the Copper Queen on the south, fresh developments have been discOv cred not only in the opening above the tuunel, but in this tunnel itself. At distance of 20 feet in body of ore has been encountered that seem, to go down good and strong. It seems very proba- bIe that work anywhere on Copper Quesn H,u will prove the truth of the theory of it's being mountain of copper .re.

GRAHAM COUNTY.

Clifton Clarion: The Metcalf mine Everything Is encourt girg, and all parts Of the mIne where men are working are looking we'll The principal work is now being done on the little Anna mine. In the first cut, where the most work has been done, there is any amount of fine copper ore that is being knocked down in large shots containing tons of copper, consisting of red oxiIe and car bonate. A track Is laid convenient to all parts of the mine. In the iron cut a shaft is being sunk, which shows good indications of very rich ore and assays well. In the next cut, close to the board ing house, about ten men are working getting out the ore, some blasting and others asserting. This ore seems to be of the same class as in the first cut In the main tunnel there are two cross drifts, about two hundred feet from the entrance, and each is in about 200 feet. In the right hand drift very rich red ox- idle ore, about five feet in width, has been struck, and the drift now is in solid iron ore.
 Little Giant.-The ore Is looking better. One drift IS in about % feet, containing fine fiuxing ore, which still show> well ID the face. Also, in the main cut there IS the same kind of ore and four men are kept blasting and piling it up.
 Ash Peak mining district, situated nbout thirty miles south of Clifton, is a promising mining locality. Recent as- says mad, from erop7ings taken from one of the claim went over slOO iD silver and also yielded a good per cent m copper.
 Greenlee Gold Mountain district is coming to the front since the Bentz discovery of gold rock carrying 25C ounces to the ton; some fine silver claims have been located.
 The miners at Gro arc very much e1. cited over the recent discovery of horn silver about three miles n'rth of that place. made by a party of prospectors from Silver City, who have located a number Of claims. Some fine speci- mems were brought to town few days since by the discoverers who claim tha; they have made big strike.
 Messrs. Parker, Stevens and Durick have put a farce Of seven men at work in thelr mines in Placier Gulch, known as the Parker group, and as far as they have been developed very satisfactory results have been obtained.
 Charles Tarver and Jack Tasting. have struck an S-foot vein of copper glance an bromide ore in the Yellow Dyke mine, three miles north of Gro which assays 40 per cent. copper.
 Quite a number of men are reported prospecting in Rocky Gulch, In the vic inlty of the Copper King company, mines, where rich strikes are looked fol at an early day
 All these properties are located within a few miles of Clif5oa, and with suci good encouragem nt We anticipate bright and prosperous future.

An Editor Who Was Down on Poetry.

contributor whose work ranked with the
best in the country. His sentiment was
pure and his diction perfect. l had

vited him to visit us. There was nothing
particularly striking in his appearance,
but his eyes had dreamy, linger-

Frank Frayne's Rifle,

The Weapon With Which Miss Won pehron was
Killed Declared to Have Been Badly Neglected,
When Frank Frayne, the actor who
shot Hiss Won Bchren at the Coliseum
theatre Thanksgiving day, was acquit-
ted by Judge Higlcy in the police court
lie stepped into the office Of the chief of
police. There he met Sergt. Bennin-
ger, whose duty it had been to arrest
him, and to him he gave the fatal rifle,
with the remark that he appreciated the
officers kindness and dclicacy, and
wished him to keep it as y memorial of
the sad occasion. The sergeant has re-
Gently had the gun examined by John
Ginter, turnkey at Bremen street sta
ton, and an old and experienced gun
smith, and it was found to be in n
very bad condition, and much in need
of repairs. 1t will be remembered that
at the coroner's inquest Mr.. Frayne
swore that few minutes before he fired
the deadly shot he examined tho weap-
on. finding it in good condition.
The turnkey discovered that tho lever
screw, or the screw uniting the barrel
to the stock, and upon which it turns
like pivot, was very much worn and
bont. SO long had it been used that the
head was almost smooth. so that the
screw driver could scarcely be held in
it. This little bit of steel is about two
inches long, and when taken out it is
so bent that it is arched. Ginter says
that if tho spring which broke, causing
the terrible accident, was in the same
neglected condition, the only wonder is
that the slip did not take place long be-
fore. He is of the opinion that when
the screw is in place if the curve were
up it would place the barrel in such q
position as to render the catching of it
by the spring an impossibility, thus de-
flecting the barrel from q straight line
with the stock, and in the effort to press
it into place the spring might have
been broken, or at least strained. Not
only is the screw out of order, but the
needle which is driven forward by the
trigger, discharging the gun, strikes, as
can easily be seen, in the wrong place.
1t should strike the cap Of the cartridge
fair in the center. but instead of so do
ing il hits it on the side.
In reply to the question as to what
he intended to do with the rifle, Sergt.
Benninger said that he would have it
sent to locksmith, put in thorough
good order, and instead of keeping it as
a curiosity would put it to practical
use in hunting and target shooting. He
takes n great deal of pride in the weap-
on. and loves to l:nger on the tragic de-
tails of the story when he tells how it
came in his possession. When the lev
or screw and spring are renewed, he
thinks he will have rs good gun As
there is in the country. in spite of its
six years theatrical servico-Ci nctn-

The Value of sleep.

DIR. Flanagan in writing OF the value Of
sleep says: There are few people who are
so constituted that Sleep seems to them no
necessity, and they can. year after year, carry
on their business avocations and fulfil their
social duties without seeming loss Vi health or
strength, with only four or five hours out Of
the "a devoted to rest.
There are again persons who can at any
moment compose themselves into sleep,
and enjoy a short nap, if only for few min.
utes.
The great Napoleon was one of those who,
by sheer force of will, could put himself to
sleep when he chose, and thereby repair the
damage to health and strength that want of
sufficient rest inevitably brings.
These people are, however, exceptions and
the general run of mankind really need eight
hours out of "a for sleep.
In the cities and towns the desire for max
ing quick fortunes is the real secret that un
derlines many of our mistakes OF living.
The class of persons among us who live on
their incomes without the claims of business
are comparatively large, and late hours that
might not affect them are the same that other
men differently situated are obliged to keep
during the gay season yet the latter are under
the necessity Of going to business at an early
hour in the morning.
No wonder that by May many young men
are worn out, and stimulate on quinne and
m orphine, and various other preparations, so
as to keep up at ALL
The Russian and Turkish baths are found
to give some strength and renewed vigor and
the number of them all over the country ties
| tfy to their patronage.
All doctors agree that sleep produces flesh,
and a story is told of fashionable physician,
who, when young belle callen on him and
complained of the thinness of her arms and
asked for a remedy, prescribed a course Of
treatment that, it faithfully adhered to, would
round out the offending members into perfect
and matchless proportions.
II was simple, and involved no nauseous
drugs or change of diet, no athletic evolu'
tons or modern gymnastics, no modification
of costume, or hints as to thick boots, long
walks early rising, copious draughts OF mill
or bowls of oatmeal neither was that terri
BILE last and most fatal cure suggested-ar
senc.
No, nothing but simply to go to bed every
night at 9 o'clock, without loss of one min

possible.
Whether the young woman purchased tn,
wished-for improvement to her arms at tina
price, we are unable to state, but the docto
probably pocketed his fee, and Justly, fol
his advice was well worth considering, a
least.
