DICTATES OF FASHION.

Beige colors and all shades of drab have caught the popular fancy at last.
 Paris is tired of the outspread skirt ard already there is looming in the distance the clinging, dragging pattern of picturesque and untidy memory.
 Velvet flowers are in favor at the present moment and dahIias and chrys- anthemums are cleverly copied and make beautiful decorations for ball gowns.
 The new blouse, with short basques drawn in round the waist, with a hand some belt of gold or silver gallon set with cabochons or else belts Of gold smiths work set on velvet, with beauti- fui buckles or clasps, is made in velvet plush or mirror velvet, richly trimmed or in woolen material broche with two colorS.
 Parisian blouses show the minute tucking which seemingly cannot be done outside the French capital. One handsome blouse made for royalty is of red surah. with rows of tucks and plain pieces between in lengthwise lines. Others are made with tucked spaces across and some have a deep folded piece over the belt which may be stylish, but is not becoming.

been one of the strongest and most active stocks dealt in on the Boston stock exchange. During the week ending February IT, the sales of Old Dominion aggregated 37,769 shares, and the price advanced from $2734 to $31, and the stock has since been quoted at $32.
 While the plans of the Lost Gulch mining company have not been fully determined upon, the Silver Belt says, it is probable that active work will be resumed in the company's mines at an early date. It is learned from Superintendent Murray Innes that the showing of ore is very encouraging and flow of water has been encoun- tered sufficient to run all the machin- cry.
 The F'itts-Barrett company, operat- ing big copper mine in the Dragoon mountains, Cochise county, expected to start up it's thirty ton shelter on the 1st, and has 1000 tons of ore ready.
 Denver and eastern capitalists are securing bonds on many of the cop per properties in the Dragoon noun tains in Arizona, and development work is being prosecuted on many claims about Middle Pass.
 J. w. Stwart on last Tuesday cele- brated his 71st birthday Jack has spent many days in this section, be- ing pioneer of Ehrenburg and other mining camps along the Colorado. His hoary locks denote the lapse of time, but his athletic step and lively manner evidence the fact that he is not in his dotage, and bids fair to en- joy many succeeding anniversaries, a consummation devoutly wished by his many friends.-Yuma Sun.
 John Kasser. late superintendent of the~Kasser Gold Mining company at Lost Gulch, near Globe, Gila county, has withdrawn from the management of that company and has organized the Globe Mining and Milling company whose properties adjoin those of the former, and are said to be very prom ising MT. Kasser is recognized as a mining man of superior intellect, and operating in an excellent region, there is little doubt of the success of the new company he will henceforth represent
 It is cheering to learn that develop ment work has been resumed in the Continental mines, says the Silver Belt. Contracts have been let and the work started to sink fifty feet and drift 200 to 300 feet J. E. Shankard, fore man, who was in town on Tuesday informed us that they had struck fine oxides and native copper in the new drift after only a few feet of work had been done As the strike is in the lower workings it is considered i'm portant.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

The Little Klondyke mine in the Unknown district, twenty-five miles southeast of the Vulture mine in Ari- zona, has been sold for $6,00O It was located last year.
 Joe Mulhatton, now of Phoenix, Ari- zona, is authority for the statement that B. F. Pritchard of Los Angeles IS soon to erect forty ton smelter on Humbug creek in Arizona
 R. J. Duncan of Yuma made a trip to his mines at the Potholes this week. Between this property, his interest in the King, his position as mayor of Yuma and his railroad duties, Mr. Duncan finds his time pretty we'll oc- cupied, says the Sun.
 Report of rich strike comes from the Union Pass group of mines, about twenty miles from Kingman, Mohave county. The ledge is mammoth one and produces ore which gives valu- ation of S45 dollars per ton. The property belongs to Emons, Strong & Co. of New York.
 A new electro-chemical process for working low grade ores at a cost of S2 per ton has been successfully tried at the Vekol mine, twenty miles south of Casa Grande, Arizona. A twenty five ton plant can be put Tn for $6,000 and it turns out silver bullion .999 fine, says the Southwest Bullion. The United Globe mines are making preparations to start their saw mill early in April, and have let contract for logs. The Old Dominion saw mill will probably start up in May. There /. is yet considerable snow on the noun tain and the ground is very soft, mak- ing logging impracticable.

are guests of Prof. Dougless, president of the Copper Queen, who arrived to- day, but whom I cannot see before mailing this. I went up to see Sup erintendent Cook early in the morn ing but he outdistanced me, being with other parties. However, I can say that the 160 ton jacket was blown in and during the current week hole was burned in it, and consequently it was laid off for repairs. The eighty ton jacket was blown in and ore is floating down the tramway to the shelter. This tramway is model affair. There is insuficiency of coke in the bins and before both jackets are doing duty the supply must be fully up to requirements. The l,2O0 to 1,5O0 tons of Black Warrior copper ore lies in sight but this will not re- ceive immediate treatment for causes which I will be better able to explain after I shall have gathered all notes of the district by which time l can weigh matters and present them more accurately. The number of men at the United Globe is about 1SO, though thirty were laid off below" on ac- count of the dumps being sufficiently
  Work has not advanced to the extent that will warrant further influx of men whether they expect to be at the smelter or in any of the United Globe holes, or anticipate job in town or a rush of trade in the event of open ing in any line. The saloon business is over done, though recently built structure is being fitted for such pur- pose. The Klondyke seems to have the run where faro and kindred games are wide open at night. Therefore I would only suggest that the best chance here is in the investment in real estate.
 When it is definitely known that the interior department has approved the treaty with the Apaches there will be even a better incentive and as the road approaches Globe the interest will grow in all lines. Road building becoming a certainty then it may be safe to figure on June or July as good time to come in, but not in great num- ! bers Now it is over done. If you have money to invest in town lots this seems to be the time to drop your cash.
