Maria Guise Newcomb.

Mrs. Maria Guisc Newcomb, tho animal
painter of New York, was during her life
most accomplished horscwoman, riding
in the park nearly every day on her Ken
tucky thoroughbred. Speaking of her
most celebrated work, 1.-THE Horses
Need" which wcs exhibited In an art gal
lcry and at once commanded great atten-
ton for its breadth Of execution, an anec-
1ote is told. Two men stood gazing at
the painting and discussing tho opinion
they should form of the artist from tho
trcatment Of the subject. Said one, You
can sec that it is the work of Some great
big man, with a tremendous heart and
deep sympathy" Yes said his com
panion, THE kind of a fellow you would
not like to meet in quarrel if he had
right on his side" Mrs. Newcomb and
the manager of the gallery were standing
near by and overheard the remarks. The
opportunity was too good to be lost. The
little, pleasant faced, smiling artist was
introduced to her critics. Even on tiptoc
her feet 9 inches could not elevate her to
mans stature, nor could the merry lips
or twinkling eyes be made to fulfill the re-
quiremcnts of her SGitics.-LoUisyillo

Los ANGELES HERALrs MORNING: =

summer a new ehaft was sunk to o
depth OF 30 feet and cave in the hang
ing wall revealed large body of rich
ore in parallel ledge unknown before
that time to the owner. This body of
ore has been worked ON ever since its
discovery. At no time has the mine
failed to pay its way, and ii it had been
worked in a systematic manner it would
have become the producer of large divi-
dends. We hope the ssle will go
through. as 1t will aid in developing
that rich section OF Mohave county.
Near Death Valley in Tule csiion, this
state, some rich gold mines should be
opened, Gays the Nevada State Enter
prise. In this cail,n rich dry diggipgs
were discovered some 15 years ago. In
1SS0a few men were at work there.
They had no machines for dry washing.
and did not even winnow the dirt by
tossing it up in the wind. Mexican
fashion. They simply dug over the
ground with picks, collecting such pieces
Of gold as they happened to see. In
this way they made good wages in
ground from one to four feet deep.
Working in this rude way they found
one nugget that weighed five pounds,
and very many worth from IS to $40.
Pisces of gold worth about 50 cents were
about the smallest saved working in
this way, "by eve" With water or
even dry washing machines such ground
should have paid immensely. AS nll
the placers in this great basin region are
of local origin, Tule cafion must cut one
or more large and rich veins OF gold
bearing quartz. AT present we hear but
little bout these diggings, though there
lie always more or lese gold coming from
them, which is said to be ground out by
arastras by some OF the ranchers living
il the vicinity.
David Armstrong is in the city from
the HarQu, Hals mountains, savs the
Phoenix Herald. The primary object OF
Mr.. Armstrong; visit was to bring the
glad intelligence to his partner. Frank
Smith, that on Monday night the night
shift on their property uncovered a
three-foot ledge of ore that means for
tune to them. The ledge has been
traced for q thousand feet up the noun
tain and is free milling gold ore, which
will go from $50 to $500 per ton. Sew
eral pockets have been found in the
ledge which will 20 over $4,000 to the
ton. 1t is al immense find, and both
partners are consequently jubilant.
Arrangements have been made with w.
G. Davis OF Golden, whereby the 10
stamp mill on his claim will ut once be
put to work on ore from the new find and
bullion produced. There 10 plenty of
water, and large apring ia located on
the claim from which water will be
piped to the mill and used to furnish
power through a motor for running the
mill. At Sunset camp Charles Prsnge
has IL men at work developing his prop.
erty. which ia showing up nicely. The
bats are down about lao feet and ali in
good ore. Hosting works will be put
up on Mr.. Prange's return from st.
Louis, where he now ia on other mining
business.

Needles Eye: The mill on the
Mexican mine is nearly completed and
as soon as the winter rains sst in will
begin to reduce the ore already on the
dump, and put on large force of miners
in the mines, Gays the Phoenix Republi-
can. The tunnel on ths Quien Sabe
claim is progressing rapidly and it is ex.
pected to tep the ledge ct depth OF 100
feet. j. A. Moore's Rich Hill claim,
which at the time it was struck caused
30 much excitement, improves as devel-
opment work goes on. An assayer who
understands his busineag once made the
remark that the assays from that claim
averaged the best of any in his ac-
ouaintsnce. On the 100 foot level the
drift is all in ore. A rich strike is re-
ported in the Portmsntsau mine at Gold
hill. Frank Nicholson has been push.
ing development work ON his claim for
the last eight months. He has had
from the beginning a large lead of ore
running from ST to $l2 per ton. Last
week Gre was struck which runs from
$75 to 500 per ton in SUI ulnhurets.

This mine has been steady producer of
rich ore for seyeral years past, although
worked in crude manner. The sales

low price OF silver. So far the main
shaft on the property has been carried
down 240 feet and at the bottom ore far

son. have made q good strike there
which promises oplendidly. On the
mountain between Color and Red Rock
camp they have found a ledge OF de-
composed quartz four feet wide which
carries gold in large quantities. As
Boon as he can arrange his affairs here,
Mr.. Bledsos will return to Goler with
the necessary apparatus for working tho

There are from $50 to 800 men in both

San Diego Union: The bark Alden
Besse arrived at Ensenada laet week
with machinery. hay and lumber for
tie Ibarra mines at Calmalli. and sailed
on Tuesday for Santo Domingo, th 9
nearest port to Calmalli, to discharge
her 900 ton cargo. The schooner Mary
Bidwell, which was at Ensenada on the

San.o Domingo to aid in discharging
the Alden Besae's cargo. The schooner
Anna arrived at Ensenada en- route
from Santo Domingo to San Francisco.
This traffic shows how the mines at
Calmalli are developing. Part of the

httsd with ateam jacket in such q
manner that both barrels could be ro-

about i've revolutions per minute. The
dump ore is placed in the large barrel,
and a charge of manganese dioxide, salt
and sulphuric acid in the smaller one,

way the ore, as it ls rotated in the larger
barrel, is saturated with chloride as it

the contents OF the barrel are run into a
