MINING NEWS.

The Yarnell mill in Yavapai coun-
 ty, has been working on ore from the
 Monte Christo mine with splendid re-
 suits.
 Mohaye Miner: Judge Brakely with
 a party of capitalists have returned
 from an examination of the gold fields
 of the Chemehueyls The Chemehue-
 wis are undoubtedly the most exten-
 siye and richest gold belt in Arizona.
 Journal-Miner: Stories of good hnds
 of nuggets on Rich Hill after showers
 still float around, showing that after
 the thousands of people who have
 worked the hill bare and abandoned it, it still contains treasures for the gold seeker.
 About One-half mile from Alder Springs northwest of Prescott, mine has been worked for several months past by Prof. Comstock, under bond. The ore carries copper, gold and silver. About 700 feet of development work have already been done, mostly tunnel, and the work goes steadily forward, with very ilattering prospects ahead.
 Since commencing work on the Gold Note and Surprise mines, says the Prescott Journal-Miner, D. B. Gillett has had l 1905 feet of development work | done on the two claims, in sinking and drifting. All the work is six and | a half by four feet in the clear. In addition 10 this development work in the mines, considerable has been done in the way of improvements on the outside, Both properties are looking we'll.
 At Fools Gulch, Yavapal county, a full crew of carpenters and other workmen crowd work upon the build ing for the McArthur- Forrest cyanide plant. The machinery is being hauled in as fast as it arrives, and Cornish rolls and crushers, not stamps, will be used to reduce the rock to the suitable size for the process. The crew of ma and helpers are busy getting the machinery unloaded. There are over hundred names on the pay roll.
 Yuma Sun; The new find of Messrs. Hunt and Hennessy at La Fortuna, promises to become yerita- ble bonanza. MT. McGraw, in charge )f the development work, has run a ,ut about twenty feet below the apex 1f the ledge and commenced sinking. { Rock bearing free gold has been un- covered, and it is the opinion of MT. McGraw that this property will eclipse he Fortuna. A one hundred foot 'haft will be sunk, anc before that lime the extent of the ledge and the merit of the ore will have been ascer- / aimed. The ledge runs northeast and and near the center another edge has been discovered which cuts trough. It is the purpose of Mir. Me iraw to sink on the contact of these wo lodges, where it is most likely the rue value of the ledge will be more . eadily entertained.

Letter-writine for Busy People.

zone of the best of all times to hold i'm

called tedious, because it is almost purely
mechanical" writes Emma M. Hale
in an article on Letter writing for

Home Journal. "When ones fingers
are occupied and the conscience is
easy, your thoughts should be at their
brightest | have never seen any incon-
sistency in reading a chapter from Her.

it over next day while pairing potatoes for

only literary work you ever do, so do not
be afraid of obeying one or two funda-
mental rules necessary to success. 1t is
well known that the best things you read
have not been written once, but many times
over, before they meet your eye on the
printed page; but | have promised that
you have only time to write your letters
once, so try the plan of having good
thought collected and classified for your

love, nor they for reproaching you with

#. L. Gauthier, the partner of Barton,
was elevator man in the Murphy build
ing" said Pastor Meserye. "The two OF
them got contract for shingling this
church and putting in new wooden foun-
dations. The work was not at all satisfac-
tory. but the church paid the money
rather than have any trouble or fuss about
it''
That was all that the pastor knew of
John d. Barton. The evangelist is still
engaged in feeding sinners with the bread
OF eternal life and earning his own bread
and butter by the music of his pious chin,
while his wife has to go out early every
morning cleaning windows. scrubbipg

IS GOING TO GERMANY. \.
Claus Spreckels Will Leave Soon
to Investigate the Sugar
Industry.
WILL BE ABSENT SOME TIME.
He Intends to Foster Growing of Beets
in the San Joaq uin-It Is a
Gigantic Business.
WILL BE ABSENT SOME TIME.

Claus Spreckels, who has many enter
prises on foot for the development of
California, will some time next month
leave for Europe. He is especially inter-
ested in bringing more California land
under the production of sugar-beets.
He believes that a large part OF the San
Joaquin Valley.to be tapped by the Valley
road is especially adapted to raising sugar
beets, and that farmers, if they planted
them, would make great deal of money.
Largely because of his convictions re-
garding the ultimate future of the sugar
industry he is going to Germany to inves-
tigate further regarding sugar-beets and
their product. It is his purpose to make
the industry one of the greatest, not only
in California, but in the whole OF the
United States.
Mr.. Spreckels has never failed in any of
his enterprises. He has made such sig
nal success of the sugar business already
that it would seem that he had reached
the height of information concerning it..
He thinks, however, his trip abroad will
be productive of results in this line that
will be of great value to the State. He
will stay abroad some time.
On his return he will begin work on his
sugar enterprises in the San Joaquin. Beet
growing and sugar-maklng are expected to
vie with the fruit and grain industry and
contribute vast wealth to that fertile
region of California.

a Meeting and Invite
Subscriptions.
Chauncey NJ. Depew to Be Requested

tion Auspices.

The board of trustees and directors of
the Y. M. G. A. held a very enthusiastic
meeting at the Y M. C. A. building, cor
ner OF Mason and Ellis streets, last even
ing, c. s. Wright, vlce-president of the as
sociation, in the chair.
The amount of $4,000 in new subscrip-
tions was reported. which brought the
total up to $S8,000, leaving balance of
$4,000 to be raised in order to reach the
500, 900 mark started for six months ago.
The committee unanimously decided to
put forth special effort Immediately to
secure the balance of the subscriptions
this week if possible, and several of the
leading merchants Will be called upon to
make up this amount.
The following gentlemen were appointed
a committee on the canvass: w. f. Whit
tier, John f. Merrill. Edward Coleman,
Thomas Magee, j. Dempster Mckee, N. P.
Romaine, Monroe Greenwood and G. r.
Bishop.
Every pledge is made on condition that
| 100000 be subscribed, and of the $SS, 900
already subscribed the trustees themselves
| have listed their names for over $40, 900.
The largest amount subscribed so far by
one person is $4,000. There are eleven
$1,000 subscriptions and several in the sum
of $1,000.
| Said Secretary Mccoy: "This building
/ is one of the most complete and extensive
of its kind in the world, and there is no
doubt that tho sum will be raised this
week. The lot was incumbered when it
was bought and the mortgage is not in
the name of the Y. NJ. c. A. If this
amount is raised it will wipe out the mort
gage completely"
! 1t was also decided to invite Chauncey

WINDOWS TO SHOW AT NIGHT.
Arc Lights Will Be Placed in st. Igna-
titus Church.

Arc Lights Will Be Placed In st. Igna-
titus Church.
A prominent electric light and power
firm has recently been making prepera-
tions to place arc lights behind the
windows of st. Ignatlus Church in order
to show the figures thereon at night
Preparations were completed last evening,
and the lights were turned on, throwing
the coioring and figures of the windows
into bold relief.
There are twenty-four windows in the
church, aggregating in cost $4,000. Four
of these are In front. The Others extend
along the Sides and are bounded on the
outward side by small chapels.
at night the beauty OF these windows has
been obscured by the feeble light. Eight
arc lights were placed in each of these
chape1s and two in each of the small
rooms containing the windows which are
oyer the altar. Large pieces of tin were
used as rraectors. Powerful refiectors
will be used instead OF the tin, and the
current. which is now attached to the
regular II O'Clock wires, will be supplied
with switch, making the arrangement
complete.
