correspondent to the News Miner
yesterday, after celebrating upon the
general wealth proclivities of the great
Lost River country, its agriculture, graz
ing and timber advantages, says of the
mines:
"The Big Prize mine, owned by Frank
Brown, Mr.. Williams and the Bruner
Bros, of Haley, with an almost incredi-
BILE width of twelve hundred feet, almost
as broad as it is long; with a shaft So feet
deep in ore, averaging 25 per cent. cop
per and. S35 per ton in silver, is our
first offer. Next is the Grey Eagle,
owned by J. H. McAllister & Co.; with
shaft SIS feet deep and feet of pay ore,
averaging " ozs. silver and CT per cent.
lead per ton. Next the Silver Wing,
owned by I. G. Ferguson-ore vein, 100
feet wide, 20 per cent. copper, 80 ozs.
silver per ton. Next The Grand Prize
mine, owned by Alonzo Jones-2O feet
OF pay streak; shaft, so feet deep; 20 per
cent. copper, 35 ozs. silver per ton. This
mine is bonded by Mr.. Eagan, of Salt
Lake city, $4,000, with an earnest of
81 900 paid down, on rs days. Next the
Hidden Treasure, owned by A. Jones-35
feet on carbonate ore. Next the Jay
Gould, owned by Burnett & Co.; shaft,
30 feet deep; 5 feet of ore; 40 per cent
lead, 200 to 500 ozs silver; also the
Hermes, Pilot, Triangle and many 9TH
Ell promising properties. The proof of
the hasty pudding is the eating thereof
If you are skeptical, go and see for your
self There is nothing mean about the
owners Of these mines; they will take
pleasure in showing them.
few years ago had these properties
been known as they are now, they would
have caused genuine sensation in min
ing circles, and Notwithstanding the
stagnation in mining properties, they
are attracting the attention Of capital,
for at least two smelters are about to be
built at or near these properties.
The N. r. H. Company have now
corps Of surveyors running line from
Camas on the Utah & Northern to Car
Donate, on Lost River.
The search for big mines is being
prosecuted with great vigor in the Lost
River country. and you can be prepared
to hear OF some great strikes by fall
The Lost River valley is all subject to
the provision of the Presumption, Home
stead, Timber Culture and Desert Land
Acts, though the Government, with its
usual tagging in such matters, has not
had this portion of the valley surveyed.
Prospects are that it will be done soon.
though Government title can be had by
taking under tie Desert Land Act and
by holding under the ether Acts, and by
filing under the Territorial statutes,

Take an oblong vial of the whitest
and clearest glass and put into it a
piece Of PHOSPHORUS about the
size Of a pea. Pour some olive oil
heated to the boiling point upon
the PHOSPHORUS, fill the vial about
one-third full and then cork il
tightly. To use the novel light re.
move the cork, allow the air to en-.
ter the vial and then recork it.
This empty space in the vial will
become luminous, and the light
obtained is equal to that of a lamp
When The light becomes dim it:
power can be increased by taking
out the cork and allowing a fresh
supply of air to enter the vial.

Mr. Rargrave's Effort.

William P. Hargrave was an ex-
ponent Of the higher culture, and
he had but just completed the post
graduate course at Harvard before
he arrived in Steel Plate, Arizona.
His alma mater had endowed him
with fine appreciation of his in
tellectual superiority and a good
taste in the selection of neck
scarfs, and the remainder of his
outfit, when lie reached Steel Plate,
consisted Of a high moral purpose
and a return ticket to Boston, good
for one month.
1t had been Mr.. Hargrave's be-
lief that the west presented finer
field for the development of the
intellect and the advancement of
the species than an effete east.
Therefore, when he learned that
the proprietor of the Bowie Knife,
the only newspaper in Steel Plate,
was offering that property for sale,
he at once closed a bargain with
him, and started for Arizona.
Mr.. Hargrave's outfit at the be-
ginning of the journey was some
what more elaborate than it was
upon his arrival at his destination.
He left Boston with two trunks and
few hundred dollars; but, when
he stopped over few days in Chi
cage, he left his money with an ac-
quaintance he had made on the
cars, so that he should not be rob-
bed on the highway, for Mr.. Har-
grove had read about Chicago; and
when he was ready to proceed on
his journey his new acquaintance
was unable to find him to return
the money. Therefore, Mr. Har-
grave left his trunks with the pro-
prietor of the Palmer House as a
guarantee of good faith, and went
on to Arizona without them. AT
, first the sensation Of wearing the
same linen continuously was irk-
some, but he became accustomed
f to it by degrees, and found it 9
great saving of time and labor.
Mr.. Hargrave had informed his
aunt, when she begged him not tC
court certain death by publishing
: a paper in Arizona, that the men o
= the free untran.eled west were
simply children of nature, who de
spised shams and loved the truth

the qualification Of the local under
taker and the aggrandizement Of
his finances.
Mr.. Hargravo was not slow to
recognize his opportunity, and he
turned himself loose on an editor
ial which, as he wrote to his aunt
that night, was calculated to have
an instantaneous and remarkable
effect. His predictions were veri-
fed.
The morning the Bowie Knife
was issued Mr.. HargraYe came
down to his office early, that he
might he ready to receive the con-
gratulations Of the prominent citi-
zens and municipal officers to
whom he had sent marked copies
of the paper. He was reading his
editorial for the twenty-fourth time,
and had marked one or two sem
fences that he decided to revise in
case the public insisted upon his
publishing the article in pamphlet
form, when the door opened and
the mayor of Steel Plate strobe
in.
He wore blue flannel shirt, and
frown so terrible that Mr.. Har-
grave almost shriveled up underit
"Whar," inquired the mayor
with forced calmness, pointing to
Mr.. Hargrave's editorial with the
end Of rawhide, "is the dashed
blank what wrote that? ?"
Mr. Hargrave afterwards con-
tossed to his aunt that at this mo-
ment all his ideas concerning the
superiority of mind over matter
underwent a complete revulsion
and he realized that nothing but
presence of mind, combined, If pos
sible, with absence Of body, would
save him for further efforts in the
advancement OF his race.
"The editor" Mr.. Hargrave re
piled promptly, "has gone out"
"I'n set until he gifts back" said
the mayor taking a chair and put
ting his feet on the editors desk.
"I'lliust step out and send hin
in" suggested Mr.. Hargrave, trem
bling lest the mayor should orde
him to remain.
But the official took no furthe
notice of him, and therefore Mr.
Hargrave babe o silent farewell +

that he dared not to return to sc
