COCHISE COUNTY MINING.
What the Pick and Drill Has Accom-
 plished the Past Week.

During the past week the mining in- dustry of Cichise county shows rapid improvement, says the Bisbee Orb.
 In the Dragons the Fitts Barrett company has nearly completed the erection of thirty ton shelter which will be in running operation about the first of the month. The company has taken out over a thousand tons of good copper ore which will be smelted as soon as the furnace is completed Robert came over from there yester- day for a load of fire clay for the fur mace, which he obtained from the com pany at Bisbee.
 The Middlemarch company, in Mid dle Pass, is pushing work rapidly on it's shelter and nearly all of the ma chinery has arrived. Joe McPherson of Tombstone is hauling the supplies from COchise station to the mines. A company store has been erected and it is expected that the shelter will be started in March.
 The parties having the Black Dia- mond under bond are to commence work the first of the month and will push development.
 The Mccormick properties which are under bond to A. Wells of Denver, are showing up in excellent shape and large bodies of copper ore have been uncovered, new contracts have re- gently been let for sinking shafts and drifting and it is reported that they also intend to erect a small smelter in the near future
 The Holmes properties in these mountains are not at present being worked to any great extent, but it is understood that eastern capitalists have secured an option on them and will bond them for a good figure
 In the Milestone range work on the Loudon group of claims are opening up the tunnel as fast as three eight hour shifts can do the work. They have at present several hundred tons of ore on the dump and recently open ed up an ore body that promises to be of great extent. The parties owning the extension of this group will soon commence to develop their claims, should they not bond them to the same parties who have the bond on the Loudon group.
 In our range of mountains, the Mules, everything has been running along smoothly. Shattuck & Heating are still working their claims and have increased their force of men.
 It is reported that the Higgins & Sweeney groups are to be bonded to the South Bisbee Improvement con- pany for a good figure.
 c. A. Overlook will soon put a force of men on his claims and will open up the ore body of which mention was re- gently made in the Orb.
 The San Francisco parties who have a bond on the Mountain Lion group of claims near the old stage station, it is reported, are soon to put on a force of men to develop them. MT. Mitchell. the superintendent, is still in San Francisco, but will arrive here in a few days.

BACKYARD GOLD MINES.

The colony of Victoria has yielded over 9245, 100000 worth of virgin gold to the worlds weath. Te secure this immense treasure for over forty-six years the diggers and miners have sac rifced the surface or burrowed deep in the bowels of the earth of the Aus tralian province. The ravages of the former, who content themselves with seking for alluvial gold, are woefully apparent to the eye of him who rides past a deserted gold field-one of the most desolate sights on earth. The brown, sandy earth is marked with shallow pits of varying depths, along side which mounds of excavated soil suggest a cemetery of buried hopes. At Maldon, mining town twenty four miles southwest of Bendigo, the quartz and alluvial gold seeker has literally tunnelled the town in his pursuit of leads and wash-dirt holding the precious metal. The back gar dens of private residences have been intruded upon-of course with the permission of the owners-and there with the family washing floating above them, the diggers ply the pick and spade, always hoping to find second welcome stranger nugget and real ize 95,000 in one lump. The Angli can church at Ma1don was deeply in debt when a digger found payable dirt which increased iH value until his borrowings brought him beneath the foundations. Under certain condi- tions he was allowed to continue his labors, steps being taken to prevent the buildings collapse, and today the church is well out of debt, with a re- serve fund.-London Mail.

 There has been plenty of snow in the canyon this winter (the most known to those who now live there) and the river was frozen except where the cur rent was too strong.

CANYONS MINERAL WEALTH.
Prospector Tells of the Riches 0
 the Grand Canyon.

c. H. Mcclure, who passes most of his time prospecting in the Grand can- yon, was Williams visitor last week. Referring to the mineral wealth of the Grand canyon MT. Mcclure said to the News man:
 1.-The canyon is destined to ulti- mately become not only Americas most popular resort for sight seers, to which pre-eminence it's superiority as a scenic attraction entities it, but when proper facilities for extensive mining operations have been brought into use it will be known as one of the richest districts in the country.
 ''There are untold riches embedded in the walls of the great chasm and I expect that mechanical means will be employed at no distant date to get the precious metals to the surface and to a market. Silver and copper are the most abundant ores in the canyon. Gold, silver and copper ores are found in the granite rock and there is no reason why smelters at the river could not be employed profitably provided the construction of tramways up the trails would be feasible''
 Mining in the canyon at this season of the year is not extensive, there be- Ing prODdDly the greatest activity ID a camp across the river in which MT. Mcclure is associated with John Mar shall, John Halford and Joe Gil'ander They are thinking of planting the oasis, known as the Indian Gardens. in vegetables and fruits. The produce from the gardens and the game that may be occasionally waylaid in the canyon would furnish a delightful freshness in diet and relieve the mo- notony of canned goods, bacon and beans that are the common culinary equipment of camp life. Deer an6 mountain sheep get in the way of 2 gun once in awhile and there is gooG fishing in the river at the proper sea son. The silver salmon caught in the Colorado ought to be famous because some of them are monsters in size These fish have been neglected b. John Hance, the veteran guide, who's,

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

w. H. Houck, an old prospector well known in the mineral regions round about Ell Paso, has struck a val uable prospect near Stafford, Graham county.
 The product of copper in the United States for 1897 was 476, ,33S, ,240 pounds, of which Arizona produced SO,656,4O9 pounds, an increase for this territory of 6,656, ,406 pounds over last year.
 The coarse gold placer mines re- gently discovered along the Santa Cruz river, seven miles east of Nogales, are attracting quite rush of prospectors. Many nuggets are found ranging in value from 50 cents to $3 each.
 News has been received at Tucson of an important strike in the Victoria mine, near Riverside, belonging to James Elder and others. The ore is very rich and quite large body has been uncovered. This is the property recently under a large bond. J. H. Devereux of Aspen, Colo., is at Globe on a visit after an absence of nearly fourteen years, says the Silver Belt. He and his brothers, Walter and Horace, were located at Globe for two or three years prior to 1884, and were leesees of the Carrie smelter for some time.
 w. l.. Cooper, a mining man of Denver of considerable note, was a visitor to Tombstone recently. MT. 1 Cooper has been in Mexico where he ] is interested in some mines upon l which extensive work is being done. MT. Cooper left for Pearce to examine the Six Mile Hill property.
 Gwynne Dennis and Max SalZman went to Flagstaff yesterday to meet with R. H. Cameron as committee to arrange for the miners convention to be held at Phoenix March 10. J. C. Brown. M. Salzman, Gwynne Dennis R. H. Cameron, F. w. Sisson and E. S. Clark were elected delegates.-Wil- Hams News.
 Jack Richardson came in this week with some samples of ore from dis covery recently made one and hal1 miles south of the King of Arizona says the Yuma Sentinel. It is smell ting proposition running 60 per cent copper with two foot ledge cropping up over one hundred feet on the sur. face.
 Charles Dickson was in Globe from Gold Gulch recently, where William Stewart and he are engaged in develop ing the Indicator copper claim. Ht brought in fine specimens of oxide an( native copper from the Indicator, an( native, oxide and carbonate ores iron the Mountain Rose. They are now en gagged in cross cutting the ledge o1 the Indicator, which is about tweat! feet wide.

In old days there was saying,
Christmas comes but once year.
But when it comes it brings good cheer.
and the housekeeper and cook Of those
times was full Of business with varie-

We have certainly changed that a
good deal now, when we mostly buy
our stores ready made and our prepara-

the tradeslnan. OF course this saves both
time and trouble, but it may be ques-
toned if the result is always as success
full as it was in the times Of the home

if ever, attain to the daintiness of really
first rate homemade ones.
Homemade pies and buildings, again,
are almost always to be preferred when
really good. and the same remark ap~
plies all down the line of conserves, etc.
This is probably due to certain indi-

Wnen crops of corn or other grains
are grown on the same plot several
years in succession the soil becomes
impoverished of certain elements and
left with an excess of others Rota-
ton enables the land to give better
crops, because there is a more equal
distribution of plant foods to the
crops, and when manure is applied
the land is consequently better sup
piled for the next series of crops.

or may draw, annual dividends, but
like a bank he cannot reduce the
capital and continue to draw the same
dividends. A board of directors may
declare a dividend from the capital
stock but the ability Of the bank to
pay dividends is thereby impaired,
and so a farmer may take valuable
elements from his fields and sell them,
but the field is reduced in value and
in ability to pay dividends. Every
ton of hay removes a certain amount
of nitrogen, potash and phosphorlc
acid from the soil, and if these Gle
ments are taken off faster than the
plants can get more from the soil or
elsewhere, they sicken and die and
the meadow is SAID to run out. 3. O..
Powell in National Stocknaaao says it
does not run out, but is starved out
and robbed by ignorance or short
sightedness.
Top dressing in one way or another
is the best method by which to keep
up the productiveness of meadows,
and pastures as we'll. If stable
manure is used it can be put on in
the fall or during the winter. I'm
less on very steep hill or on land
where flood of water rushes over it
and carries off the manure bodily, it
may be spread when the ground is
frozen solid as well as any time. If
chemicals are used put on the potash
and .phosphoric acid in the fall and
the nitrogen in the spring. Muriate
or unleached hard wood ashes for the
potash, fine ground bone for the phos-
phoric acid and nitrate Of soda, for
the nitrogen are probably the best
fertilizers to buy. Top dress all thin
places, of course, and then the rest
of the meadow if you can. No rule
can be laid down as to how often to
top dress meadow or how much
manure to put on. Give it as often
as needed and as much as you have
to spare. Ten two horse loads per
acre of good manure is a fair applica-
ton, but there is difference in loads
as we'll as in manure and ten loads of
one kind may contain as much plant
food as forty of another. Of the
chemicals, try an application of 100
pounds of nitrate, 200 pounds of bone
and 200 pounds Of nitrate of soda.
Where meadows have become
messy and filed with weeds and
ferns it will not generally pay to top
dress them. The top dressing will do

Iy want some readily available plant

meadow should be reseeded. This
can be done in two ways, either

monty practiced, Or by ploughing di-
rectly after haying and sowing grass
seed alone.
