A Fine Property

The Lake Shore copper mine, in the Jack Rabbit country, owned by Messrs. Geo Aitchison and M. P. Traut, is one oi the most promising and extensive prop critics of the kind in the Territory. Ii is located twenty-five miles from Casa Grande and has wood and water sufh. cient for mining and smelling purposes for years to come. The ore is found in a contact of magnetism lime and slate, and is free smelting ore. The Clifton cop. per mines m Graham county are in sim liar formation aud their value reaches to very high hgure. The ledge pitches to the east and at shaft No. l, where the discovery of the ore was first made upon a very small exposed surface, the shaft of 20 feet is all in the ore body, the ore being principally red oxide of copper The slate formation IS on the east sioe and extends all through the Santa Rosa mountains, while the west side is lime. For about 70 feet south of shaft No the ground has been stripped, showing the continuation of the ore body, which averages 12a per cent copper.
 Shaft No 2 is down 45 feet, all in or e, with drift to the west 30 feet and a drift to the south 20 feet, both in ore. All the ground is removed from the mine and nothing but ore is being taken out. The ore body has been shown, south of shaft No 1, by actual measurement to be no fvet wide.
 Between shafts and another sha it was sunk off the line of the two shafts 15 feet. showing splendid oxide ore.
 A prospect shaft fifty feet south of No 2 also shows large body of ore.
 Shaft No. 3 is down 110 feet, of which 20 feet was through cement and 40 feet of ore were encountered for 30 feet when the regular ore body was entered. Drift No. to the west was run 30 feet in ore. and drift No. 1 was run 45 feet, also in ore.
 Shaft No. went through the same formation for 45 feet when ore was struck. It has a drift west of 50 feet showing ore. Its distance from shaft No. is about 200 feet.
 On the north eud of the Lake Shore is a shaft down fifty feet, and indications of the ore body can be seen. This is 150 feet from the end of the claim.
 Boulders of ore taken from the mine, when exposed to the air for time, crumble away by atmospheric action, showing the self fhuxing qualities.
 On the south extension of the Lake Shore, is claim belonging to c. S. Say CT, with a shaft S1 feet deep, showing a continuation of the ore body. This was sunk to demonstrate the theery of the ore beyond the limits of the Lake Shore claim. The same character of ore was found in the shaft, which is about 100 feet south of the south end of the Lake Shore claim. There is drift of 30 feet in the bottom of the shaft, with streaks of ore. It is believed the main ore body lies to the west of this shaft.

The Money in Good Cattle.

As near as the matter can be reduced to figures, it is estimated that there is one registered animal of the bovine race in this country of 280 all kinds. There is no means of knowing, even approxi- mately, how many there are pure bred but unregistered, or how many contain sufficient good blood to give them char acter as grades Yet, even making the most liberal allowance for these the fact remains patent that the business of ''breeding up" has so far made its inn
 .ss upon a very small percentage of
 cattle of the United States. It hard
 eems likely, in view of all this, that
 work of introducing good blood will
 be overdone-that is, if prosecuted
 quiet, sensible, way, without over
 ght booms and extravagant crazes of
 us kinds.
 Lie capital invested in registered cat 'tle-in round numbers SPA, GOO. .O00-is of course big sum, and must be handled judlciously if it yield steady return to investors through term of years. And yet it is not only a trihe a little less than 23 per cent when compared with the sum invested in cattle of all kinds in this country. That is to say if profit of barely per cent the country over is to be realized annually on the money de- voted to cattle, that profit alone must equal nearly three times the figure at which all the registered cattle may have been valued.

Two Sad Death.

If the broken hearted mourner of cherisled idols that have been taken away f.o.a earth forever, could but read the plan Of kind and watchfhl Provi- dence, the seeming chsstisement inflicted might bring tears of joy and thanksgiv- ing rather than of woe and lamentatIon. It is natural for mortals to sorrow for loved ones whom God, in His inscruta ble wisdom, has taken, but in the midst of the deep afliction comes the consoling faith that all His acts are good, and we are blind to the manner in which His tenderest mercies are shown.
 Such are the thoughts wildly inspired by the sad bereavement of MT. and Mrs. Geo. w. Campbell, whose little son Rob- ert, the pride and hope of happy house. hold, was so sud denly called away last Monday, amidst health and happiness, to the immortal life beyond. The circum- stances were as follows:
 On Monday afternoon, Mrs. Campbell and her two children started across the Alamo Amarilla canal near their resi- dence,to gather flowers that grow in pro fusion in the..helds djacent While cross ing the foot bridge spanning the canal, little Robbie, in some unaccountable manner, fell headlong into the swift cur rent of very muddy water. Mrs. Camp bell at once jumped in after hIm and caught him by the clothes only to be her self borne down by the swift running water and lose her grasp of the child. Strangled and blinded by the muddy water, she struggled to again reach her child, but all her efforts weIe unavailing Inc current bore him rapidly away and he soon disappeared entirely. The fran tic mother, nearly exhausted, then tired to save herself and caught hold of bar bed wire fence beneath which the cur rent was sweeping her, and lacerated her hands terribly in dragging herself out on to the bank where she tainted. Not more than ten minutes elapsed before the body of the child was recovered, but life was extinct, and it is believed his neck was dislocated by his first fall head. long into the stream. The funeral was held at the family residence the same evening, and was largely attended.
 Little Robert was twenty months old lacking two days, and was bright, hand some and healthy lad, of exceedingly rare promise, and his death Tn such { calamitous manner occasioned universa sorrow in Florence.
 Sheriff Jere Fryer received telegram on Thursday, the 18th instant, from hi wife at Fremont, Nebraska, conveyin, the very sad intelligence of the death o his daughter, Emma Pauline Fryer which occurred at that place early on tn same morning. Mrs. Fryer was returnin, home from visit to Michigan for tn child's health, and when Fremont wa reached little Emma was prostrnted wit paralysis and soon afterwards expired.
 She was born in San Francisco, Cal. on the 18th day of November, 1881, an at the time of her death was 6 years,
 months and days old.
 The sincere sympathies of very larg circle of friends in Piual county gre wit the afflicted parents in their sad bereave mert, and many former playmate i Florence will miss little Emma.
