James Stevens, former Central City
citizen, was imprisoned in an Arizona
mine by cave-in, July fourth, and was
rescued at 7:30 the morning Of the 18th.
He had been without food for thirteen
e'even days, but had retained his reason
and kept track of the time. The rescue
shaft by which he was reached was over
a hundred feet deep, and the workmen
worked without stop, changing shifts
frequently from the fourth until he was
rescued.

The United Verde mine Of Arizona is
produsing about 100000 pounds of cop
per month, and according to G. M. Rolk-
er, in an interview in the Salt Lake
Tribune, will in a short time output six
times as much. at is rather startling" !"
he says, sto think of the effect on the
price of copper that will be produced by
by such tremendous increase in the
supply. The consumption will have to
be wonderfully increased to prevent the
price from going down" At the rate
predicted the yield from this mine alone
would be 360,O0OOOO pounds per year.
The total production OF copper in the
United States in 1895 was about 1896, 600
600 pounds, and in 1895 470,000,000
pounds, over half of which went abroad.
The main nope of sustaining the prices
of copper lies in an increase in home
consumption This promises to grow
very fast.

AMONG THE MINES.
Float Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes From the nany Mines.

Peter Native has been doing assess
ment work on claims near Scofisld this
week.
Irwin & Howard will do some work on
the Gold King claim, in Big Bear basin,
next week.
A new power whim has been put up on
the Lead King this week to hoist in the
underground shaft that has been sunk
from tine main tunnel.
y Work on the Inez has been progressing
under most favorable conditions the past
week. Development wo k has been
pushed for the past two weeks in the
breast of the main tunnel and extending
the west drifG of upraise No. 2.
K. E. Kennedy, of Leadville, was here
several days the past week, examining
some properties on Meadow Mountain.
He returned home Tuesday. and will
come back to Crystal to make further
examinations about August first.
M. V. Beiger of the Belle of Titusville
Company left for the Pacific coast Sat
urday, after having spent eight days at
the mine during which time he made a
thorough examination of the property,
and was well pleased with the prospects
He will return to his Indiana home abou
the middle of August.
Crystal Mountain Mine will begin ac-
tive development work some time during
the coming week. The new machinery
ordered month ago is now being brought
from the railroad and placed in position.
The delay in starting WAS occasioned by
the necessity of ordering some of the
engine repairs from the facto-y in the
east. Work VIII be prosecuted on a
crosscut from the main tunnel to cut
the contact vein.
Six new men have been put on at the
Belle of Titusville Mine during the week
and work is now progressing rapidly,
sinking on the vein in the main tunnel.
So far the water has not caused any
trouble, but as precautionary measure
a new pump has been ordered and will
arrive by the first of the week, so that
the management feel safe in saying work
will not be hindered by water. Some
delay was occasioned in getting the pew
power dIils started, but now everything
is in <lrst class shape In this. mine is
being done what is considered a very
difficult sort of mining sinking wet
shaft underground as rapid pro-
gress is being made as is usual on a wet
shaft from the surface.

You have read OF Maud, on a summer
day, who raked the meadows of new mown
hay; and read in verse OF men seeking
gold. through lonely gulches, in the win

black of the patient, plodding, mountain
jack. When the road is rough and high
and steep, then steady and faithfully
they creep, through binding snow or
falling rain, supplies reach camp by the
sure jack train, The bold pioneers who
blazed the track, owe all their honors to
the sturdy jack. In early days of Cripple
and Creede, the burdened burro sup
piled their need; and Cy Warman sang
his merry lay without thought of the
toiler's bray; telling of those who have
chosen track, rougher than the path OF
the honest jack. Boxes of ham and
beans and sausage and corn are loaded
on the jack at early morn, and the beast
tolls on whether rain or shine to carry
his load to the inland mine, where the
hungry lads round the table pack, ne'er
thinking of debt to the humble jack The
heavy blocks of the precious ore, are bro
ken in bits on the ore house floor, and
sorted out as to value and weight, ship
ping only that which makes valuable
freight; some two hundred pounds is
put in each sack, and two bags loaded
on each trusted jack. And in the winter
when rations are low, the canons and
trails all blocked with snow, the minel
wades out and proceeds to make from a
frozen jack a supply of fsteak. One thine
justice record should not lack. is the
miners pleasing on the mountain jack.

While the British empire has made

While the British empire has made
rapid progress during the Victorian era,
it cannot begin to compare with the
stately strides which this country has
taken during the same period of time.
When Queen Victoria assembled the Brit
ish throne in 1887 there were only twen-
tyfive stars on the flag of the American
Union; today there are almost twice that
number. Sixty years ago our population
numbered only 14,963,O 600; today it will
hardly fall short of 100000. In 1887
the railway mileage of The United States
amounted to only 1.497 miles; today it
amounts to 179, ,S21 miles, or more than
the mileage of all Europe. In 1887 the
capital of our American banks aggregat-
ed $3.50, ,772,091, with only sl24,397, ,lS5
deposits. According to the last official
returns, made in 1896, the total capital
of our banks aggregated s1,051, ,916,254,
with deposits of 1907 ,156,277. In 1857
there were-only II, ,767 portoffices in the
United States, yielding revenue OF
s4,238, ,779; in 1885 there were 7O164,
yielding a revenue of e76,983, ,123. These

The patents which have been secured by
Fred Owen are now used on almost every
make of wheel in the country. His inven-
tions cover all parts of the bicycle, from
the frame joints down to the smallest ar
rangements in the ball chambers. He has
been extremely successful in the matter of
device for the axle of the rear wheel
and the chain adjustment. 1t was he who
invented the hook arrangement whereby
the rider is enabled to remove the wheel
in fifteen seconds, taking of the chain,
without disconnecting it. This is shown in
the first illustration, and was placed On ex-
hibition at the local cycle show last year.
This year a number Of recent inventions
will be shown at both the national shows
and also at the local show. The patents
have just been secured, and already many
of the leading cycle manufacturers In the
country are negotiating for the right to use
the same. The improvement is on the chain
adjustment and the holding of the axle of
the rear wheel. The rear forks of the
frame and the back end Of the diamond
are not made In one piece. as on all other
machines The rear part of the diamond is
in the shape of a brace. fastened under
the saddle post and at the rear axle by
new patented dome nuts. which give a
pretty finish The rear axle is held in po-
sition by the hook arrangement, and the
ends of the frame are SO arranged that
