The Big Hole In Apache County

Readers of the JouRNAL-MINER
 will remember description given
 some time since of an immense hole
 in the ground in Apache county. A recent telegram from Flagstaff
 gives the following additional de- tails concerning it: G. K. Gilbert and Marcus Baker, the former chief geologist of the United States geo. logical survey, with force of men, have returned from Canyon Diablo, where they were sent by the gov ernment to take observations and make map of the region where s) much meteoric iron has recently been found. They spent sixteen days Investigating the mammoth hole in the ground, supposed to have been made by meteor. This hole is 625 feet deep and ? Is miles in circumference. The theory is that, from the appearance of the walls and the fact that they have found many pieces of meteoric iron around tine hole, the meteor pene- trated the earth 700 or 800 feet be- fore it exploded, and this accounts for the strange phenomena. Three pieces of the meteor, weighing 800, 600 and $50 pounds respectively, were found on the mesa within two miles of the crater, and are now in the Smithsonian Institute. Besides these, they found many pieces from two ounces upward.

Cattle Situation.

Major w. H. H. Llewellyn, the
 live stock agent for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, came up from the south last night and is at
 his office to-day. He states that there is a wrong impression about the drouth-stricken district south of this city, and says that it is not near a. large as reported. The drouth ex- tends from the base of the Sacra- mento mountains in Dona Ana county to the Texas line, thence north to the middle of Socorro county and west into large portion of Arizona. It takes in nearly all of Grant and Sierra county, in New Mexico, and nearly all of southern Arizona. The cattle men, the major states, are taking all precaution against death among their stock by the erection of windmills and other devices for securing water, and it is his opinion, passing it upon the fact that the winters are mild in the southern part of the territory, that the loss will not be as great as an ticipated.
 Major N. A. Adams, Kansas City cattle owner, a friend of Major who has been looking over the cattle situation of southern New Mexico, came up from the south last night. He state that's the situation is gloomy, but he thinks that it will change for the better hortly.-Albuquorque Citizen.

Arizona Onyx.

Probably no product of Arizon, ever created such general interes1 and comment as have the specimen. of Arizona onyx, cut and polished by the inmates of the territoriaI penitentiary. With the crudest and most meagre appliances, the worl done by the convicts in the shape oI cane handles, paper weights, table tops and similar articles, have been such as to excite universal admira. tion, while the revenue derived from their sales has amounted to no in considerable sum.
 The stone is from the uuarries owned by General W. O. O'Neill and others near Big Bug, Yavapai county. The owners having given the prison CTS all they require, and the latter devote such time as the prison rules allow them to its working.
 Parties familiar with the Mexican stone say that the Arizona article far surpasses it, both as to beauty and texture, fact which is apparently confirmed by the avidity which every specimen of the latter offered for sale, after being cut and polished, is bought up. With machinery and under the direction of skilled man. agement, there seems to be no req son why a considerable revenue should not be derived by the terri tory from this convict-created in- dustry.-Yuma Times.

A Bachelor of Maine.

1achetof ot Matue. Hezekiah Bottle was bachelor of Maine, But one morning he departed by 3 very early train, For fuel is so costly" said the frugal Hezekiah, "I am forced to find a dwelling where need not pay for fire" He took a bee line southward till to Mexico he came, He found there volcano with a most eccentric name, And he built him there a cottage, did this Hezekiah Bottle; He built it near the summit of Mount Popocatpeth Whenever he desired to cook nut ton chop He'd hang it by lengthy string right over from the top, From the top of the volcano he would hang it by string, And there, until twas nicely cooked, he'd let his dinner swing. To get his boiling water he would lower down a kettle Right down into the crater of Mount Popocatapetl; From the ashes of the mountain he would light his meerschaum pipe And he felt as truly happy as jolly little snipe. But one evening, as it happened, there came by grizzly bear, And he was much astonished to see Hezekiah there, So he tapped him on the shoulder, this poor Hezekiah Bottle, Who straightway did fall over into Popocatapetl.

"Ex-Governor Zulick said that he was so proud of tho opportunity of aiding Arizona to obtain statehood that he voted with uncovered head" Gazette. We always knew that Zulick was a great domagogue, but did not think he was as far gone as this would indicate. Some painter ought to reproduce the picture of Zulick voting with barred head for the constitution of Arizona, and a recent democratic governor of New Mexico taking the oath of office on the top of an old adobe building at sunrise, facing the east, in imitation of the Aztecs looking for the second coming of Montezuma. The group would then be complete by painting the likeness of long cared beast of burden.
 The Los Angeles Times last Thurs day issued magnificent twenty four page decennial edition descrip- tive of southern California. 1t is not very many years since such an edition of a paper, even in the very largest cities, was considered a wonderful stroke of newspaper en- terprise. The Times though, in the matter of enterprise in its news gathering, as we'll as in the ability displayed in its editorial columns, and in every other feature which goes to make up frst-class paper is but very little behind the papers published in cities having six or eight times the population of Los Angeles. By the way, also, the Times reaches Prescott twenty-four hours in advance of any other paper containing full associated press re- port, which makes it doubly valuable in this section, point which news paper readers should make note of

A Queer Bet,

ArcHIsoN, Kan, Nov. 2S.-To-day
 James Wheeler begins paying his election bet to William Fullerton
 The former is a democrat and the latter republican. and just before the recent election they bet on the result in Ohio. According to the terms of the bet if Mckinley was elected Wheeler was to be the slave of Fullerton for one week. He was to act as his servant on all occasions. and should he do anything that d slave or servant ought not to do he was to forfeit $1,O0O. It was sup posed that Fullerton would pay the money, but he says he will fill his part of the agreement to the latter. and thus see what kind of Christian Fullerton is. Fullerton is to care for Wheeler, giving him provisions and looking after him, while Wheeler is to leave his own home and live at Fullerton's house in the room as signed to the servant.

Mining Intelligence.

More interest Is being taken m mining matters in the Hassayampa and Slate creek districts than ever before, and the prospects were never more encouraging.
 Sullivan. Sines X Kelly have just finished assessment on several of their claims, all of which improve as depth is attained and are really fine looking properties.
 Doc Smith and Col. Bigelow are working on Slate creek; they are de- yeloping some splendid mines, not the least among which is the Dun kirk.
 The Clark X Adams quartz min has just finished a run on Slate creek ore and will start up in few days on fine looking lot from the Shelton mine on Lynx creek.
 Lute Wilson and others are ship ping a car of fine looking ose from Dan Hatz's mine on Slate creek, worth probably $50 per ton. Part of the ear has already been deliv- cred at the depot for shipment to Denver, consigned to the. Argo works.
 s. l.. Riley has mine which yields ore of very high grade and good wide streak of it but the water flows in so freely that without steam pump it cannot be kept free. It will pay capitalists to investigate this property.
 J. w. McGowan brought in lot of ore from his mine on the lower Hassayampa which is the envy of prospectors and miners. His ledge is from forty to fifty feet in width carrying good orc the entire dis tance. These samples gave an assay value of Sl0 in gold, Sl in silver and 40.6 copper. Of course the ore will not average that the entire width of the vein but will average from fifteen per cent. to twenty per cent. in cop per. He is still engaged in develop ing the claim.
 Dr. W. W. Lewis has just returned from Jerome where he has has been for several weeks and says that the new bucket line being constructed there is rapidly approaching com pletion. The carpenter work, he says, will be finished by the 18th of present month ready for the big cable. The machinery is being placed in position in the power house and by Janurary lst he thinks that everything will be in readiness for putting it in operation.

GIVING THE LIE TO prophets"
Who Declared We Would Never be

Temescal Mine has not Shut Down,
Notwithstanding Reports to the
Contrary.

CHICAGO, Sept. .1..-Henry @. Wicker,
general manager Of the Henry Peak
Consolidated Tin Company, limited,
of Hill City, S. D., is in this city on
business in connection with the mines
owned by the company at Hill City. He
talked enthusiastically of the prospects
for the industry Of tho country, but
more particularly of the Hill City
mines.
"It you were to ask me-" said Mr..
Wicker, "if we are manufacturing me-
talic tin, / should say no. People have
an idea that all We have TO do is to
scoop up metallic tin with n shovel like
sugar cut OF barrel. In a year from
now we shall put metallic tin on the
market in large quantities. We have
mills erected capable OF crushing 250
tons day, and by February we shall
have another mill erected which will
double our capacity. Our shalt is down
300 feet, and at every 100 feet We have
lateral levels. We have crushed some
ore, but only for the purpose OF assay
ing. The ore rms IRON 10 per cent.
Of black oxide, and the tin produced is
superior to the best Dutch Straits Set
"When we get down 500 feet, and
have worked out lateralIy so that We
can commend sufficient body Of ore,
We will have suitable tin to put on the
market. In Cornwall the shafts are
sunk down 5000 feet, and 1000 feet un-
der the ocean. When We have got down
reasonable distance, and have produc-
ed no tin, then will be the time for peo-
pie to say that We don't know what we
are talking about. The Harney Peak
mines are among the richest in the
world. have convinced myself thor
oughly Of that fact by personal inspec-
ton, and any one else can do SO who
wishes to inspect tho mines. We are
not hiding our light under bushel,
