THE MAMMOTH.
One Of the Permanent Mines of the
 Territory.

One Of the Permanent Mines Of the Territory.
 The Mammoth mine, on the San Pe- dro has been prominently before the public during the experimental stage of its development, and now that it's merits have been fully demonstrated. the facts of it's instrinsic value will astonish even those who have though they knew all about it. A CITIZEN representative called upon Capt. J. W. Johnston, the agent of the owner of the property and its superintendent, st his rooms at the Cosmopolitan today, to learn something reliable concerning the Mammoth That affable gentleman very kindly offered to give any information desired, and felt willing that no fact should be repressed. As result of the interview the following summary is made:
 The property, mine and mill, is owned by Mir George Nj. Fletcher, of Detroit, Michigan. The mine has been devel- oped to the 300-foot level, with 8 steady ratio of improvement Tn quality and quantity az depth is sttsIned. The ledge IS fully sixty feet wide, and the ore as II comes from the mine will average Q working value of Sl0 per ton; by select ing and properly asserting, 1t will run much higher. The ore body is SO very large that it is practically quarry, aud & small force can easily take out large supply of ore.
 The mining IS all done by contract, and ten men find no difficulty in supply ing all the ore required by the thirty stamp mill. Steam hoisting works, with the proper cages and necessary tram way. gre provided, and everything is ar; aIscu Itr Tne ecODomlcA wOrklng or the property.
 The mill is three miles from the mine. on the San Pedro river, and its thirty stamps run day and night consuming an average of fifty tons of ore per day. l be ore IS somewhat rebellious and con tains lead in several forms. The tailings are concentrated by means of SIX Frue Vanners. which give about one ton of concentrates per day. Bullion IS ship ped with satisfactory regularity and ss a business proposition the enterprise is 6 remarkable financial success.
 The mill is lighted with electric lights and telephone connection exists between the mill and the mine. About 20 men gre employed at the mill. but quite an army of employees of the several con tractors in connection with the mIll give the place a lively appearance, and and camp of no small pretentions hss been erected there.
 Captain Johnston is a thorough and capable manager and the success of the grand enterprise is due in a great measure. to his energy and care in the proper development of the grand ore body and the economical working of its orpE

A FAMOTS CHIEF.

The story ofthe Killing of Mangus Color
 ado. the old Leader of the Apzches.
 A good deal of discussion has arisen regarding the probable fate and wherea' bouts ot the famous Apache chief Man gus Colorado This discussion has been ,tsrted anew by the recent capture near Ft. Thomas, of the young chIet MsDgus, Many think they are one and the same Young Msngus is the nephew of Msngus Colorado, and owns fine cattle ranch ID the Sierra Msdre. Unlike his uncle he has for years been leading 6 quiet life in bis Mexican mountain re. treat and did not go on the warpsth until the late Apache war had been lar Iadvanced. He did, however, aid the rsidIug hostiles by providing hem with a safe retreat when they struck the Sierra Madre Mountains This man was quite oonversant with the English language and could at any time enter a town and with his rare know ledge of Spsni-h pass himself of ss a Mexican, hence the importance of hls cooperation. The facts regarding the fate oi the old chief Msngus Colorado are we'll known in this part of the ccun- try and they are these:
 In the latter part of April last MRngus Colorado and his followers, to the num- Der of about fifteen, were rAiding m the vicinity of the HIlstsdt ranch, 100 miles southeast of here and made 1t very warm for the vaqueros belonging to the ranch. One morning early the vsqueros on the ranch set fire to several piles of logs and brush near the corral, and then We Dt in 10 the corral 10 separate some cattle. While thus engaged Msngus Colorado and his band came around the corner Of the corral Gnd opened fire. The first to see them was young Hllstsdt. who called to his companions, and st once opened fire with hIs Winches- ter The first shot killed old ManRus Colorado, and then s general fight en- sued, resulting in the killing of four more Apaches and the routing of the balance. Incensed by the frequent raIds of the Apaches, the vsqueros, after the fight, put the bodies of the dead h. dians on the fires and burned them The body of Msneus Colorado was plsc' ed alone on the heap of Burning logs and reduced to ashes. One of the va queros who was in the fight and took part ID the burning, picked up some of the charred bones of the old chief, brought them 10 this city and presented them to J. J. Chatham, who now has them m bis ssession.-Nogsles Corr. St. Louis Globe Democrat

Canned Food in the Arctios.

Lieut.. A. W. Greedy, in letter upon the effects of freezing upon canned fruits and vegetables, especially as regards the texture and flavor of tomatoes, corn, etc, says: Apples, peaches, pears, rhubaro' green peas, green corn, onions, potatoes and tomatoes were all subject to extreme temperatures lover co degrees below zero, and were solid for months al time. The second summer they thawed, the follow ing winter froze solid again. All the ar ticles named presented the same appear ance as though freshly canned and their flavor was as good when the last can was eaten as in the first month. It sh ould be understood that these were first-class canned goods and from dealers of stand ing and reliability.
 Cranberry sauce, preserved damsons, preserved peaches and fruit butters suf- fered certain changes from candying, etc, which detracted somewhat from their flavor, though not materially so. Dealers in such preserves predicted that such con ditions and changes would occur. had also canned turnips, squash beets and carrots as well as pineapples cherries, grapes, clans, shrimps and crabs which although not subjected to such extreme temperatures as the foregoing yet froze and thawed repeatedly without injury. No can of any kind except few. say half 0 dozen of fruit buffers, was ever burst by action of cold or heat No illness of any kind occurred prior to our retreat and those most inclined to canned fruits and vegetables were the healthiest and strongest of the party" - American Grocer.

French Apparatus for Purifying Air.

The device consists of two horizontal cOncentric cylinders placed in connection with fan, these being fixed and turning with the same spindle, and the whole Is enclosed in a casing The cylinders are closed at the ends, except for hole per nitting the passage of air drawn by ian' and as the air passes through the cOncen- tric space between the drums, it Is caused to rotate with them by the presence oi feathers running longitudinally on the ln- side of the outer cylinder. The spindle which carries the whole arrangement IS hollow, and it thus serves to bring the water. which is allowed to escape there from inside the drum by means of inc holes, which project it in the form of nne rain against the inside of the inner cylln- der; this cylinder Is also perforated, and the water again escapes from it and k pro jected against the inside of the outer cylinder, over which it spreads as thin coating. The motions of the air and water are as nearly as possible in opposite direc tiOns.
 The water, after 1t has been sufficiently exposed tO the air, is allowed Go escape and is drawn of by means Of siphOn. IL is impossible for any air to pass through the apparatus without being washed, ana its solid impurities removed by centrifugal action, and the proportion of water re quired may be varied as found necessary with reference to the condition of the air New York Tribune.

Avoid tho Newspaper st Breakfast.

Satisfactory breakfasting requires cer' tain conditions of the mind. and among them perfect equanimity. It is a hazard Ous moment, and a very little may prove ruinOus. For this reason it Is much better not to read a letter or even the newspaper, at breakfast, since there may be some thing in them which will temporarily paralyze the organs of deglutitiOn- Your tailor may write to you even peremptOrlly that he would like to have some money, never taking into account the fact that you have no money to send him, as he might know, if he would only think, from the fact that you have never sent him any, though he has often asked for it before You cannot eat comfortably while you are misunderstood by your fellow creatures You love them all; you want them all Co love you, and especially the tailor
 Then, in the newspaper, if you will read it, the first thing your eye may aliSht upon is the sudden death of one of your dearest friends. No matter what cynics may have said of you, yet you are really sorry, especially when you remember that he was about your own age, and that you are no longer young Muffins, marmalade, broiled bloaters or bacOn-these are at once become vanities.

Mining Notes.

W. A. Rowe is prepared to ship a car load or more of rich ore from the DsvIs mine, Hsssayamps district. It will 90 to Argo, Colorado.
 Gel. Blgelow, of the same district, IS waiting, patiently, for a home smelter, or the advent of the railroad. so that he cal operate his mines with profit.
 Frank Kuhne has brought to Bones ore rooms several hundred pounds of good looking ore from his Zslids mine. miles east of Prescott.
 John Hutchings, a well known pros- pector and miner, returned, recently. from Silver Mountain district. with rich lC oking ore from the clBIns of Wm, N. Kelly and T. $. Bullock, on the Nam moth mine. which is the biggest mine ever seen by the writer.
 Now that election is over, the Courier would like to see all peop'e put their shoulders to the wheel and turn her for active mining and reduction works, or even a sampler. so that owners of ores can turn them into money. There are upon the dumps of mines near Prescott nearly, if not quite, a million dollars. We need this amount and all, regardless of everything, should unite ID one grand effort to realize upon our ores. Let us bave a grand meeting and see if some thing cannot be done to make the mines respond to the wants of our people, Courier.

Dead-Beats Who steal Car Rides.

So far as 1 am concerned all the tramps in ChriStendOm may steal rides, but dead beats are developing a cussedness which am in favor of discouraging from the start. I refer to the growing habit of pulling the bell cord when they want to get oil between depOts, Or at depOts where We are not timed to stop. The other night, as I was taking the No. 3 Frisco train south. the bell commenced to ring about loo yeards outside of Sullivan, where we were not timed to stop. supposed some thing was wrong, put on the brakes and pulled mp at the depot. After waiting about five minutes the conductor came up and asked me what l was waiting for, and asked him what he had stopped me for. We soon found out that four dead beats had been riding between the mail and ex- press cars, and that they had not been content with stealing their rides, but had got me of time as we'll I never syyore in my life, but felt as though I should like to just then.-LOcOmotive Engineer iD Globe Democrat

How They Drink Beer in Spain.

They drink beer in a curious manner in Spain A correspondent of The Hanover Courier relates how his guide, French man. by name of LabOisse, proposed to visit brewery, operated by firm With a German name It was notable for its cool accommodations The weather was very 11':sFIn 9 :.FE and cool, spot as well as cool fatherland's draught was not to be despised AS they entered they were con fronted by some Andalusian peasants in their picturesque costume. They had evi- dently come in to the celebration of some patron saints festival, and wished to gratify their curiosity with regard to the new strange drink styled ~cerveZa.' Two bottles insecurely corked were brought, a large and a small one, also a soup dish, into which Laboisse poured the contents of the lager, which had beer-like color. The contents of the smaller bottle fol- lowed, the fluid being of pale, lemonade color. Laboisse stirred up the mixture before him with as much sOlicitude as though cOncoctinG a pineapple punch. This was the custom of the country. The beverage, which savored more of flat lem onade than of beer, was then drunk out of small glasses Guardian.

An Obstacle of Physical Well Being.

Physicians rightly characterize con- stipstion ss an obstinate impeachment to the welfare of the body. The perform anCe of the more important functions. such as digestion, biliary secretion and sn active circulation of the blood, are interrupted by it in a greater or less de- gree, as the development of the com plaint is incipient or mtture.

gx-z AFTER MANY DAYS. gEsN

Long, long ago, sent ship to sea, A fair white argosy, swift-prowed ana strong, That started out upon the glancing green With flying flags and to the sound ol song And on the deck a sun-buTned sailor lad Waved me last farewell, long good bye, Till the gay pennants fiuttsred in the west And slipped from sight behind prim- rose sky. To-day my ship sped proudly up the pay, Tossing her gleeful way to home anu me, Her stout-ridbed sides stuffed with a costly freight Of silken scarves and gems and splcery' But the brown sailor lad who greeted me Marked not my throb0ilg heart, nor wondered why My cheeks were in a flame.
