FoR srARrlNe TIE FIRE.
The Use TO Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets

The Use TO Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets.
In the majority Of households an old
newspaper is the material most colu-
mnnly used to start a fire, and the ed
justment Of this material is a matter of
considerable art There should he enough
of it to make flame sufficient to ignite
the wood laid upon it, and it should be
put in with just the right degree of
locsoness so that the air will circulate
through it and make il burn freely aud
to the best advantage But there are
houses in which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes Of fishermen.
Here, year in and year out, day after
day, the fire is started with chunk Of
discarded tarred netting, and there Is
nothing like it,
When a net gets tender, so that it Is
likely to burst when a body of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in tide way,
or to break with a big catch of fish, it
is condemned. 1t may be whole and
look all right, but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it. Some fishermen using
a considerable number of nets may have
half a ton of such netting in a year.
They use it to start fires, and give away
some of it. Formerly they sold it for
junk, and they do so now occasionally,
though not so much as they did. 1t
brings a cent pound.
This netting has been tarrcd again
and again with fine, thin tar and it is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
6 feet deep. A length Of it is rolled up,
and the roll is then fiattened down. The
fattened roll may be 6 inches wide, and
it is cut off with an ak into chunks of
perhaps a foot in length, just enough to
lie nicely on the CRATE of a kitchen
range, 1t is thoroughly dried before il
is used. 1t all ignites quickly, and
burns fiercely and uniformly, with a
blush flame and rather pleasant odor.
A properly laid fire with a section of
old tarred netting to start it never goes
out. Whoever attends to the kitchen
fire in the fisherman's house prepares it,
if possible, the night before and pulls a
strand from the tarred netting out
through the bars of the CRATE in front.
To start the fire in the morning all that
is necessary is to touch lighted match
to the end Of that tarred rope yarn.
Some of this tarred netting has beer
sold to start the fire in locomotives.
Such a thing is not unheard of as the
use Of cotton waste and oil for this pur-
pose, but sheet of old tarred netting
laid over the CRATE bars beats the cotton
waste out Of sight Still, locomotives
have multiplied and tarred netting cut
no figure as a means Of starting the fire
in them. 1t is perhaps now used foi
that purpose, if at all, only ON roadi
running through or near fishing dis
tricts And, as said, it is now rarel,
sold. The fisherman uses it to start hi
own fire, and the man who has NOR
than he wants gives to his neighbor. -

KRUGER THREATENS
England Sends Troop Of Artillery
to South Africa.
SALISBURY EvADES THE QUESTION.
VIII Not Tell Whether He Intends 30
Maintain Status Quo In the TransvaaI.
More Talk of Britain's Pur-
chase OF Delagoa Bay.

London, April 27.-Three English bat
teries OF artillery have been ordered to
embark for South Africa within a fort
night. The order was issued on Sat
urday concurrently with the issuance
of a government blue book containing
the dispatches which passed between
the governments Of Great Britain and
the South African republic from Feb
ruary, 1895, up to last Monday.
These communications show that
Throughout the correspondence Presi-
dent Kruger has kept a stiff and firm
front in the face of England's menaces.
Englands last request or demand was
the repeal of the Transvaal immlgra-
tion law, which President Kruger re-
fused.
The Birmingham Post, the organ Of
the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary Of state for the colonies. in
IAN angry article commenting upon the
dispatches, refers to the Transvaal gov
.ernment as shufiiing into a position
from which 1t must be elected by force.
The Paris correspondent of The Times,
in describing the visit of Prince Hohen-
ohe the German chancellor, to NJ Han
IotauX, the French foreign minister, for
he purpose of discussing the situation
the Transvaal, says that the two
ministers sent notes to Lord Salisbury
asking him to volunteer a statement
hat England would maintain the stat
& is quo Of Delagoa bay and the Trans
vaal.
According to this authority, Lord SAL
sbury agreed TO maintain the status
uo of Delagoa bay. but promised moth
ng in regard to the Transvaal
The dispatch adds that the German
Emperor, since the reception which Eng
4and gave to his famous telegram in
egard to the personal dignity of a
tate, has been determined to assert
lis support Of the Transvaal.

NOT A POOR MANS COUNTRY

In a letter to the editor of The Re- publican, Mir George H. Smalley, who is now in Mexico, says of the Yaqui gold excitement:
 The placers here are not what peo- pie in the states believe them to be and I would not advise any one to come here on what appears in the papers outside of The Republican.
 It is country for capital to come to and open up and develop what has already been found. It is not poor mans proposition. I bell5We great many strikes will be made this win ter i'm quartz, butt I have lost faith in the placers. Americans are com ing fm here fast and going on up to The Rio Aros country I have heard of no new strikes. Ford made an assay on our gold mini5 and it wsnt $42.35 to the Gon. It is free milling but the extent of the ore is still a matter of doubt. We will know that i'm a short 'tdme as we have begun work opening it up.

that it develops into a good mining region it will not be difficult to sh p ere to market. Wagon roads may be easily constructed and so could rail- roads.
 AS yet the country is so new that comparatively little is known about it. But the La Sal mountain discov- cries hav!al attracted a good deal of attention in Grand Junction, and it is probable that in consequence of investigations made by some of the people of that tcIwn important infor- nation about both the La Sal and Paradox valley will be in a short time bs received In th!al event that the early stages of development justify the indications already discovered, it will not be- surprising if one or two good mining camps are developed there in the course of the LeXt six months.-Demver Republican.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

A reporter of this paper visited the Montezuma Mining company's gold property in the Huachucas few days ago and had the pleasure of going through their numerous shafts and tunnels and sampling some of their ore. Much has been said for and against the Huachuca property by outsiders, but we, from our own Cb- servatiIon, find lit the best looking property we have seen for years. The pay streak is from three to ssNen feet wide and carries much fine gold, which assays high with the precious metal. Seven men are now being worked, who by theiH- labor have now eighteen tons of ore ready for ship ment to the smelter at Kansas City. It is thought by the management that this ore will return them a hand some figure, and if so, large force of men will be placed in their tun- nels the first of Decembe-, and a smelter and stamp mill vii be pur- chased and placed near their main shaft. This company has lately been incorporated and the president and manager deserve much credit for their excellent management of this prop el ty.-fisbee LyreL
 Wm Blackburn, foreman of the Copper King of Arizona, informs the Tyre that he expects to strike the vein on which is situated the main ere bodies of the Fucker and Divi- dead, properties of the Copper Queen, at depth of about seventy-five feet or more. The main shaft is now down $50 feet and work is being pushed as rapidly as three eight-hour shifts can do it, and the :ndications are most favorable, black Sulphides of copper is coming in in considerable quantities. The King stock is nIow selling at 50 cents share and another advance may take place at any time. MT Pritchard of the Pacific Mi1ing and Smelling company has submitted amothisr proposition, which, the re- porter is informed, is in effect that the Prescott people give the smelter people bonus of $10,000, the money to be paid waakly at the rate of $2.5O for every ton of ore treated by the company, the company to own and operate the plant. After talking with "a number of our citizens the Courier belil:Nes that $10000 or more could be easily raised if the company would 1 be satisfied to take $1 for each ton treaied We believe that smalters have bean put up elsewhere on this s1 per ton basis. However, the min 1 ing exchange committee having thts | matter in hand will attend to this business. Courier

COLORADO COPPER DEPOSITS.

In some respects the most profit able metal to mine at present prices is copper. Some very large fortunes have been made in its production. But up to this time Colorado has de- veloped little of that msital This makes the reports of the discovery of large deposits in the Paradox valley all the more interesting. Interest is increased by the report that the cop per lodes extend from Colorado into the Sierra La Sal, a short distance west of the state line in Utah.
 These reports indicate that the de- posits are WeTy large and also val uable in respect of the percentage of pure copper in the ore The locality of the discovery is out of the line of railroad travel and communication. But it is not very remote after all. There is no difficulty i'm reaching the La Sal mountains in Utah from Grand Junction as a starting point, and from the same place it is easy to reach the Paradox valley by way of the Una weep canon road, which leaves the narrow gauge line of the Denver & Rio Grande at Whitewater, station ,--a-ShOr'5 distance up the Gunnison river from Grand Junction. ThRae are also trails, if not wagon roads, from the western part of the San Juan county, directly ac-oss to the Paradox valley.
 The climate of the country in which these copper discoveries have been made is delightful, including in this both the Paradox valley and the Si- erra La Sal The winters are mild and it WouIds be practicable to pros pect durimg a large part of the year The altitude lis considerably lower than that of Telluride, Rico and other mining camps Alomg the western slopt of the San JuAn. and in the event
