Mining Notes.

MT. D. c. Maines is ill from the Ve kol, taking a vacation of ten days. He has his left arm carefully upholstered on account of a recent vaccination, there hay ing been case of small pox imported into camp from Sonora It was removed to distance of three miles and there quarantined while precautions were taken at the camp against any spread of the contagion.
 The Vekol mill is running to it's full capacity and the mine is producing it's usual quota of rich ore. Next month the mill will reduce quantity of ore from the Great Eastern and Mayfower claims, belonging to Messrs. Chillson & Hlnds, N h ch are under lease to Mir. H. Hinds. The ore is said to be high grade and the mines are developing in very satisfactory manner.
 Suppl A. H. Elliott is working force of men on the Queen of Sheba mine, which is proving fully up to the expecta- tions of its owners and promises to be- come one of the best propertsie in the county.
 A big strike Is reported In the Mon arch mine, under bond to Chas. Matt & Co.,, of Kansas City, and sale will probably be made to them in few days. Messrs. E. A. Howard, Jere Fryer and Mir. Cummings went to the mine this week and another of the purchasers will arrive in few days to consummate the transfer. No visitors are allowed to en- ter the mine at present.
 It Is reported that contract is to be let for sinking on the Jack Rabbit mine by Mir. W. c. Smith, with view to furcher developing this promising prop erty.
 MT. H. Blauvelt Is opening several of his claims near the Jack Rabbit which give great promise of being real bonan- gas.
 A large force of men are at work on the Silver Reef mines, recently sold by Mr. J. c. Loss to St. Louis parties. MT. Ed. Ayers, of Florence, has been selected as foreman and is now at the mines. Mir. J. 0. Loss returned from St. Louis on Tuesday.
 The general prospects of the mining'sec- tion south of the railroad were never better and several very important camps are being formed. When developments warrant several mills will be erected and the pr osperty of that portion of Pinal county will be assured.

COSY TOO MUCH.
The Sad Experience which BefeIl ons
 of the Astors.

In tue early days of the direct tea trade with China, importers were anxious to secure the earliest cargoes of a new crop.
 The fastest clipper ships were engaged In the trade. Great haste iu loading them was followed by a bot race to reach New York first.
 The first cargo brought the best price and large profits. The successful Captain was always rewarded, so every known aid to navigation was adopted.
 The young captain of one of Mir. Astor's clippers bought, on one Of his trips, Q new ehronometer, and with it's aid made quick passage, and arrived first. He put the price of 1t into the ex- pense account of the trip, but Mir. Astor threw it out, insisting that such an item of expense for new fangled notions could not be allowed.
 The Captain thereupon resigned and took service with rival line.
 The next year he reached port long in advance of any competitor, to the great delight and profit of his employers, and the chagrin of MT. Astor.
 Not long after they chanced to meet, and Mir. Aster enquired:
 By the way, Captain, how much did that Chronometer cost you? ?"
 "Six hundred dollars" then, with quizxical glance, he asked:
 And how much has it cost you, Mir Astor ?"
 "Sixty thousand dollars"
 Men are often unfortunate in the re- iection of what they call new tangled notions.
 There are sick men who refuse, even when their physicians tell them they cannot help them, to take Warmers safe euro, because it Is "new-fangled" pro- prietary medicine. The result is they lose-life and health.
 Thousands of other men have been re- stored to health by it, as the testimonials furnished to the public show. These testimonials cannot be doubted; The proprietors have a standing offer of $, ,OOO to any one who will show that any testimonial published by them Is not, so far as they know, entirely true.
 Dr. Andrew Wilson, Fellow of the Royal Society, of Edinburg, the editor of ''Health," London, Eng, says in his magazine, in answer to sn enquiry, "Warner's safe cure is of 8 perfectly safe character, and perfectly reliable"
 The refusal of 8 manufacturing firm to pay for the patent of 8 new invention by one of their workmen, cost them their entire business. A new firm took out the patent and were soon enabled to make goods enough cheaper to drive the old firm out of business; and many 6 physician is daily finding. his patients. longtime chronic invalids, unaecount- ably restorted to health by the use of the snew kidney specific. New tangled notions are sometimes very valuable, and 1t costs too much to foolishly reject them.

previously. but ! mention these two
years for particular reasons One was
that was engaged in a vigorous
warfare against them. and the other
that the close OF 1854 Witnessed the
death Of the leading spirits and broke
up piracy as trade
In those far-back days comparatively
nothing was known Of China outside
Of few seaports. Treaties were Of
little account. and Consuls were few

and the Captain Of every man-of-war

with China, but. aside from few sea-
ports. all China hated all other people.

By General Sir George Provost the

report we learn that the island Is y
miles in length and 2 miles In

In 1850 the island was visited by tn
late Hon. Joseph Howe, for the pur
pose Of making himself acquainte'

actual measurement he found that th
island had decreased at the west en-
