The camp will be established some

Next comes tho prospectus man. He

sell stock in companies owning any
where from 10 to 900 acres Of land
fright in the richest gold bearing sec
tons at from 10 cents to 81 per share.
Generally the stock is only offered i'll
large blocks. 1t is announced in the
pospectuses that are mailed broadcast
that tho first 100, 900 on 200, 900 shares
will be disposed Of at much less than
par value. In some cases they offer
900 shares for SIS, others $40 for
900 shares, and so ON up on down.
Prospective buyers of this stock are
given every assurance of the desirability
of the mining property. They are in
formed that the company owns the
"Yellow Bird lode, and the MAUD
S - mine, with ten acres of good prop
erty full of gold all around, but shortly
will have to put up a few thousands,
mere bagatelle to get possession of the
deeds. 1t is also announced that the
"Adonis, the Midsummer Nights
Dream and other valuable lodes are
under patent, and the company expects
to get three=siXteenth interest in them
Other valuable incidentals are thrown
in, i'll a careless way, to invite conf
dence and a disposition TO subscribe.
The only thing the prospectuses do
not do, as a rule, is to promise a return
for the money of the investors. A few
are daring enough to do this but most
of them refrain. There is another plan,
however, that sounds nearly as good. 1t
is adroitly announced by some that the
company is not doing the mining, but
is having it done by another company
for royalty of anywhere from 10 to 40
per cent. So the investor" stands no
chance of becoming a loser. He may
| lose what he invests, and what he is
subsequently assessed fer improve
ments and purchase of more property,
but the prospectus says nothing of that.
OF course these companies have of
fees in the various large cities. They
have men in charge Of the offices who
know how to tell fairy tales to their

HOW TT Is WORKED UP
SYSTEMATIC ATTEMPT TO CREATE A
POPULAR MINING CRAZE.

Gold Fever Growing Cheap Certificates
Sold iiurng literature Arousing vi
sions of Bnrney Barnato's spIendor.
Cripple Greek the yield.
Since blind pools became an unpfaf
liable, not to say hazardous, business
to follow, the men who live by their
wits have been figuring ON some other
scheme by which they can humbng the
people and take their money without
running too much risk of landing in the
penitentiary.
The indications arc that gold mining
speculation has been selected as the
safest and most profitable of all the
schemes. The danger is not so immedi-
ate as with blind pools
Public mcI@ory is short. Several years
have passed Since thousands Of people
all over the country lost their money in
gold mining speculation The sehemers
evidently figure now that another crop
of lambs, another generation of gullible
suckers, has grown up to be tieeced, and
they are after the game. They are try
ing to make the gold craze as popular
now rs it was in 1919.
This new scheme is no ordinary one.
II looks like a gigantic, we'll planned,
concerted movement covering the whole
country. The men behind it have ap-
parently no lack of influence, and are
ready to risk their cash for Il good re-
turn from the suckers. Cripple Creek is
the scene Of then exploits New com
fpanies by the score have sprung up
whose alluring prospectuses hold out
great inducements to the man on wom-
an who is gullihle enough to invest.
Nothing catches the ordinary person
like gold. In a newspaper story about
the finding Of a mjser's pot of gold, tho
uncoyering Of a big nugget or the short
age of the yellow metal in the national
treasury will attract the readers eye
and attention as quickly as any class of
reading that can be secured.
This seems 10 be thoroughly under
stood by those behind this gigantic
movement to initiate gold stocks. 1t is
said they have secured the cooperation
of one or more newspapers in all the
larger cities of the country, as we'll as
a number of news distributing agencies,
to aid them in creating public interest
in gold mining stocks in general way,
and those of Cripple Creek in partieR
lar.
The plan of working the newspaper
end of the scheme is to open up with an
interesting story Of the gold mining
business in Africa and recital of the
recent enormous crash in the Kaffir gold
stocks. Then follows in a few days an

cyanIde patent clalms.

r. George Cow, local manager of the Gold and Silver Extraction Go, of America Limited, has cablegram from Glasgow which says:
 Today, after strong opposition and full discussion, amendment to British patent has been allowed exactly as claimed This confirms British patent and makes position very strong"
 This is virtually victory for the patentees, and will of course strength en their case in this country and else where.
 In handing down the opinion, it was held that ''in substance, the in yentioD consists not merely in discOy- ering that dilute solution of cyanide of potassium could be used to extract gold from it's ore, but showing the country the best practical method of doing it by leaving baser metals be- hind, which had never occurred to any one before.
 "None of the voluminous evidence introduced served to show that the patents had been anticipated by prior publication nor that any commercial results had ever been attained until Messrs. MacArthur and Forrest proved tue commercial value of this discoy- cry.
 "The testimony taken in Denver and Salt Lake by the commissioner appointed by the High Court of the South African Republic resulted in proving that the use of cyanide toex- tract the precious metals from their ores was unknown in the United States prior to 1890. ."-[ Mining and Scientific Press.

At Mammoth, plnal county, the

At Mammoth, Pinal county, the Mohawk company is working about twenty men, getting ready for their twenty stamps. The mill will be located about sixty feet from the collar of the working shaft. The com pany's reservoir is finished and full of water, pumped from their well at the river. The reservoir is located on d hill about eighty feet above the mill and one-sixth of mile east.
 Great and important changes are in contemplation at Mammoth, Pinal county. The old Mammoth mill will not be disturbed pending the rework- ing of the immense body of tailings at that point, but new works at the mine will shortly be erected and the work of development pushed forward on a q larger scale than ever before. The Mammoth is an enormous property, as it's name implies and will do much to develop the mining industry in south ern Arizona.
 There will be a large delegation to the irrigation congress from Mexico. President Daz has appointed the dele gates at large, and the governors of all northern Mexican states have appoint ed state delegations. President Diaz has also authorized the national dele gates to invite the congress. in his name. to visit the City Of Mexico in a body. and the authorities ofthe Santa fe and Mexican Central roads are now in consultation with regard to ar engagements for the excursion. This will be one Of the most attractive features of the great occasion.

MINING NE ws.

The Coarse Gold mine, formerly known as the Mexican mine, near Wickenburg, is again turning out many gold nuggets from it's thirty foot quartz ledge.
 Davis, Wetmore x Co.,, of Montana, have purchased the Old Figueroa gold mine at Potholes, twelve miles above Yuma, for S36,0O0, upon which they will erect l0-stamp mill.
 In the Cerbat district, Mohaye coun- ty, Charles Grcss and his partner Ca nas, are taking ore from the Gold Bar mine that will go 2,0O0 to the ton and are running their arastra.
 Mexican cattle south of Dcming, are reported to be in excellent shipping condition and several thousands have been contracted for to come in through the local custom house when the quar- antine is raised.
 A 50-ton cyanide plaLt is to be set up at the Union mine, north of Ph9- nix. Already there are 5000 tons of ore, dirt and gold bearing rock in the dump and this will be worked, after which the mine will be worked on larger scale than ever before.
 The Blakely mill, Mohaye county, is pounding out bullion right along and is doing good work. All tine old miners of the district arc bowling for one just like it for low grade mines. The water supply is short, but with all that, the mill gets through ton day.
 Three cars of mining machinery, in- cludng ten-stamp mill, arrived at Congress last week for the Desert mine, in the Harqua Hala district. The property is owned by Messrs. Kimball and Wakelin. of Ph9nix, and will be immediately developed with large force of men.
 Eastern capitalist have subscribed the money, sS00,000 in cash necessary to open up, develop and put to produc- tion the new sulphur mines lately dis covered on the west shore of the Gulf of California. It is estimated that the sulphur can be mined and put on shipboard for sl.l0 per ton.
 Last week Captain Charles w. An derson was in Prescott from Lynx creek with a bottle of placer gold which he took out with rocker in few hours. He says that he is getting his claim in good condition for the winter rains, and when they come he expects to make quite clean up of the precious metals.
 An item of news from the City of Mexico is to the effect that it is re- ported that the clergy of the town of Guadalupe, where is the shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, have in their possession many trophies consisting of arms and flags which belonged to the heroes of the national war of indepen- dence, and it is urged that these be placed in the national museum.
 It is given out that operations will be resumed at once on the Hillside mine, in Yavapai county. This prop erty has lain idle ever since Patent Medicine Warner attempted to use it as the basis of fone of the most gigantic swindling schemes ever attempted to be perpetrated on the country, and in doing so wrecked himself financially and succeeded in getting the property involved in litigation.

Case For Postal Cards.

An Easter gift that is as useful as
1t is pretty is case for postal cards
which is made OF brown holland. Take
piece of light brown holland twenty
three inches long and six wide. with
the edges cut perfectly straight and
even. Fold an inch wide hem all
around, the raw edge is not turned
under.
Then fold up four inches of each
end to form pockets; the linen is SO
stiff as ito remain in position when
firmly creased. All the sewing that
is required is at the sides of each
pocket which must be overcast to-
gether with extremely nice stitches.
The case is then folded together ex-
actly in the middle, the pockets thus
facing each other. A narrow ribbon
is passed around the fold and tied in
a pretty bow on the right side.
One of the outer sides is ornamented
with the initial of the owner, done in
gold and sepia. with a, few violets or
other small flowers painted in their
natural colors and seemingly en-
twined about the letter. The ribbon
should match the flowers in color.
The words postal cards are paint
ed in fancy gilt letters across one end
just below the bow

How to Dress For a Photograph.

In a recent number of the Photo
gram, Catherine Weed Ward gives
some good advice ITO women planning
to sit before the camera: 1.-The great
er number of sitters are utterly ig-
norant as to how materials, colors,
and styles of costume will appear in
the finished portrait, and the operator
is blamed for what is, as a rule. not
his fault. AS a rule, it is we'll
and should be required-to avoid
very positive patterns. such as large
plafds, checks, wide stripes, and much
jet or other glittering trimming and
much jewelry. Sharp contrasts in ma
terials, trimming, or style Of cut are
a decided detriment to a pleasing por-
trait, and. as a rule, the tone of color
Should harmonic with the sitter's
complexion and hair. Glistening silks
are difficult ITO light we'll, as Is any
material which does not easily lend
itself to soft folds. Dead lustre silk,
soft woolens, grapes. f1eecy tissues,
and similar materials are always ef-
fective." Mrs. Ward advises, too,
that one should soften by rendering It
indefinite, the line between skin and
dress. both at neck and wrists, re-
Numbering, always. that. however
