every two weeks-which adds greatly to the cost of reduction.
 The expected change will do away with all this and make the Old Glory what it should be-one of the great bullion producers of Arizona.
 The property is at present in charge of MT. George Hlzinger. receiver. It is reported that the owners have en- listed additional and heavy capii al, that the debts Of the company will be discharged, ample means devoted to development work, and new forty stamp mill put in to reduce the ore. With all this done the Old Glory will be all it's name implied.
 ORC BLANco MINING NOTES.
 Lieutenants Leayell and Bache llier of Fort Huachuca, are opening fine property not far from the old Auster- litz mine.
 MT. Nat Crocum of Orc Blanco is developing fine property not far from the Warsaw. It is a free milling gold proposition, and he has now sunk about forty feet on well defined ledge of good ore.
 At his place near Orc Blanco MT. Kirkpatrick has yeritable ore quar- ry out of which the pay rock can be thrown down as readily as building stone It is a grey quartz running from ST to S35 per ton in gold anu twenty-two ounces in silver.
 Messrs John and Mike Maloney have fine mine about half way between the Montana and the Old Glory. A great deal of development work has been done, there is goodly quantity of excellent ore on the dump, and concentration of large samples has given very satisfactory results.
 Close to the Mcdonald mine, in thu, vicinity of the Old Glory MT. Hyal has very promising ledge on whicl he has sunk shaft about twenty fee He has on the dump about 100 tons ol ore which will run s20 per ton. Tue day he was arranging with Mir. Hi ginger to work fifty tons for him ih the Old Glory mill
 Near the Warsaw Mine Prescott & Began are developing fine body of ore. They have sunk shaft on an iI- cline, following the ledge, a depth Of ll5 feet, in ore all the way. They are now cross cutting, to determine the width of the vein. The ore is a free milling gold ore which averages about twenty dollars per ton.
 At Orc Blanco Wednesday, it wa~ reported that an Italian known as Angel" who has been working at the mine of Jehn and Mike Maloney, has found silver ledge near Tascosa. or the new road about twelve miles iron the Montana mine. Rock from the croppings is pure 'petanca, very rich and can be cut with knife.
 Mir. Mcdonald has small one-staml mill on his property, not far from the old Glory, with which the ore extract ed in development work has been made to pay all the expense, and he has q fine mine. He is now in Tucson, awaiting the arrival of those who will take an interest and erect a large mill for systematic and extensive reduc- tion.
 In the Last Chance mine, close te the Sonora line, MT. Kirkpatrick ha, a splendid showing. The shaft is down fifty feet in good ore all the way The ledge is intersected by porphy- ry dike on the south side of which the ore Is a smelting proposition, while on-

rich sulphurets that yield S60 per ton in gold and ten ounces in silver.
 The Yellow Jacket has tine twen- ty stamp mill working the Boss pro- cess which is doing remarkably good and effective work It is perfect in all of it's appointments, and everything Is reduced to system on which things move with the regularity of clockwOrk.
 Mr. John ". Began IS Major Read's foreman in immediate charge Of the mine and mill.
 With the great bodies of rich ore he has developed and the fine reduction works on the property, Major Read has in the Yellow Jacket property which will prove producer of the vel low metal for many years, and its sue cess will add greatly to the fame of the Gro Blanco country and its impor- tance in the estimation of investors.
 THE MONTANA.
 The Montana is being put in shape to be regular and steady producer of metallic wealth. The large bodies of ore concentrate readily and the con- centrates are very valuable, running about ffty per cent in lead and carry ing good values in gold and silver. A large and substantial dam has been erected to store supply of water for the use of the mill Had the usual winter rains fallen it would now be holding all the water necessary to keep the mill in operation until the sum- mer rains. The summer rains will fin the reservoir with such a volume of water that the mill can be run with out cessation the entire year until the summer rains come again.
 It is only about four weeks since the mill was started, and in that time some sixty tons of concentrates have been shipped and another large ship ment will be made this week.
 The two buddies which were erect ed with the mill can handle the pnlp of five stamps only, and as a conse- quence but half the battery capacity of the mill is in operation. It is Mr. Cheyney's intention to erect two more buddles the coming summer, and the entire ten stamps will then be put in- to operation.
 MT. Cheyney is to be congratulated upon the work he has accomplished at the Montana Camp within a very few months, and he can indulge in no lit tie gratihca tion at having put into working condition great and yalua- ble property.
 THE OLD GLORY.
 The Old Glory is essentially low grade ore proposition-the great bo- dies of ore being of such grade that require reduction in great quantities for the most economical and profitable operation The contemplated new ownership will connect all the work ings in such way that the ore can be handled expeditiously and cheaply, and put up large mill to handle sey- eral hundred tons of ore daily.
 The present reduction machinery at the Old Glory consists of two Grifln mills, and six Triumph concentrators. Between the mills and the concentra- tors the pulp passes over plates which catch all the free gold, and the con- centrators reduce the pulp to a very small proportion of concentrates, yet saving all the mineral The capacity of the plant is about nifty tons of ore daily; but the rock is So hard that the Griffin mill is hardly suitable for handling it. The steel shoes and dies are very expensive and wear out too

The Great Mining Camp of Southern Arizona.
SHORT AND INTERESTING ACCOUNT
Of What Was Seen in Flying Trip to the Rich and WonderfuI Camp of South
 ern Arizona.

This week TIE OASIS man paid fly ing trip to Gro Blanco. He was able to visit but a small part of that great camp; and what is here presented is in no wise full account Of what is in cluded in the great mining camp Of Southern Arizona It simply includes what was observed over there in the course of very few days. To give a full and accurate account Of the camp would require several weeks than as many days;
 THE YELLOW JACKET.
 The Yellow Jacket niue is one of the richest and most noted properties in Southern Arizona. For many years Mexicans made money by reducing in arastras the float rock lying on tbe bill side and in the gulch below the ledge Some three years ago it was developed systematically, twenty stamp mill erected and a great deal of gold extracted. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 250 feet, and several large chambers of ore extracted. It was supposed to be exhausted and alloper- ation was suspended for more than a year. Last year the property passed into the hands of Major II. A. Reed, formerly of the St. Patrick mine, and  his associates. In September last the major resumed operations in the Iel- low Jacket aud set the stamps to pounding ore. He has developed new and immensely rich bodies of ore, and every week ships bar of bullion worth from $500 upward. The rich est ore has been lately encountered, and when he visited the mine Monday and Tuesday TIE OASIS man was shown in a drift breast of ore, with a rich streak three feet wide, the rock from which runs more than two thous- and dollars per ton, and the ore out s ide of the streak assayed more than nine hundred dollars per ton. They had followed this rich ore fully eight feet, and it was still coming in strong in the face of the drift. It was esti- mated that every carload then going out of that drift was worth fully one thousand dollars. This ore is of soft iron formation, easily broken, aud the free gold standing out all over it, is plainly yisable to the naked eye. Most of the ore running through the mill yields from twenty-five to seyenty-fye dollars per ton
 Major Reed has recently opened up some new ground with tunnel. On both sides of little ridge the float worked by the Mexicans had been very rich, single boulders having been brok- en up and yielded s700 to 5000 each He reasoned that the ledge cropping above was the source of these bould- CTS. So he started a tunnel to cut the ledges He is now within ten feet Of the main ledge, which he expects to Teactsoon. But he has already cut through another ledge, some twenty

the north side the ore is free milling. It runs sixty-one ounces per ton in sil- yer and s6l in gold.

GAS FOR 80 CENTS A THOUSAND.
An Expert Says That Would Yield q
Profit.

Profit.
Some interesting figures relative to the
cost of gas making were presented to the
municipal corporations committee OF the
New Jersey house the other day. Mr.
Gruber Of Jersey City, who introduced the
bill for 81 gas, produced figures from an
expert gasmaker showing that 2oo,oVo GU
bic feet Of gas can be made and distrib-
uted for sST.l2 Deducting 10 per cent Tor
leakage there would remain 22o,ooO cubic
feet which, sold at 81 a thousand, would
bring $225, and leave prott OF sl5'SS
An additional 250,000 cubic feet could be
made for SS4.12 making the total cost of
manufacturing and distributing 100000
feet of gas day $156.24. For an invested
ca pital of 100000. after deducting 10 per
cent for interest. his figures showed that
there would remain yearly surplus OIL
SIS, 800. TO-
The representatives Of the gas compa-
MES spent some time endeavoring TO as
certain the name of the expert. Finally
Levi Stevens stepped forward and an
rounced that he made the figures and was
prepared to prove their correctness. He
said he could secure million dollars cap
ital and furnish gas of 22-candle power for
so cents per thousand. In Philadelphia he
could supply the city at 81 cents, land
have a picnic he said Excellent 22-can-
die power gas. he continued. can be made
for 1S to % cents, and it costs about as
much more to distribute it.
The Trenton Gas Company, he said, was
started on capital of $1,000, which had
been watered on the profits, and now
amounted to 100000. Mr.. Stevens is now
experimenting the gas plant at the state
prison, where he makes gas at less than
so cents a thousand. and he said he could
light the state house for less. The hear
ing was postponed to give the gas COM
panies opportunity to controvert the state
mentS and figures presented.

SHOVELING SNOW,
Prisoners Who Have to Work for
Their Keep.

Their Keep.
The tramps who have been under sem
tence here since Christmas have not had a
very enjoyable time, as they have had to
work on the streets in East Washington
cleaning snow. Those who We're here be-
fore the snow storm Jared better. as they
were not compelled to go out and do this
kind of work, but were permitted 20
main in the warm rooms OF the workhorse
and smoke their pipes. Charles Ryder, the
''badser-Worker," was out In the gang for
about three hours one day, and the manner
in which he handled the shovel made it
apparent to the officers that lie was not
used to manual labor. The old and infirm
prisoners are not required to go out in the
gangs, but some of them Seem to enjoy
little work on the farm. Among those who
are not required to go out is John Shea,
the liQuor-law violatCr, and he passes most
OF his time strolling through the corridor
and conNersing with the other prisoners.
Several of the trampS Rave refused TO go
out and shovel snow, anu for their refusal
they We're confined in the dungeon and Put
on short rations, but such instances are
rare and the officers have very little OF
such trouble. The gangs working not far
those far away are fed on the street
where they are working. Their dinner
usually consists of a large cup of soup, a
piece of meat and bread, and this fare Is
served to all alike. No exception is MADE
In the workhouse. as in some otheT prisons,
and the fact that a prisoner is able ana
willing to pay for better fare makes no
difference He has to eat the prisoners
fare and be satisfied.
