COPPER MINE SOLD.
N. M Amster Negotiates Sale of the
 Continental Mining Group.

Globe, Arfz., March 7.-(Spscial Cor respondence of The Republican.)- )-The Continental mines, group Of hVe claims, situated about fifteen miles west of Globe, in the Globe mining district, have been sold to the Federal Mining company of New York, the principal stockholders being the Old Dominion Copper company. The prop erty has been under bond for more than a year and a large amount of money has been expended in develop ment work, sufficient to demonstrate the value of the property. The Con- tinental mine, patented, was owned by J. H. Merely of Cleveland, Ohio, who gave a bond to William Sydow of Globe, Ariz. MT. Sydow was the owner of three adjoining claims, and he and George Bowen owned another claim in the group which was bonded to east ern parties, all of which are included in the sale.
 The Federal Mining company com prises monied men of Boston and New York, already largely interested in cop per mining, and is strong company in every respect. Work on the Con- tinental mines was resumed last week with sixteen men and they expect to increase the force largely within the next month. N. L. Amster, the pres ent superintendent, who negotiated the sale, is deserving of a great deal of credit, as he had much opposition to contend against in the shape of ad- verse reports of several experts sent here to examine the property. In con- nection with the Continental enter prise is the proposed Globe & Pinto Creek narrow gauge railroad, iEeor- porated under the laws of Arizona, which will undoubtedly be built.
 The North American Exploration company had an option on the Conti- mental and this expired on March 1. They had already expended $60,00O on the properties. The shaft was down about 400 feet, tunnel and cross-cuts were opened, exposing vast bodies of copper. It is said large slabs of na- tive copper lie in sight. Charles Hay den is reputed to be the leading spirit in the recent purchase. PITTOCK-

GREAT DEMAND FOR COPPER.
It Causes Constant Interest to Be Tax
 en in New Discoveries.

During the past year the production of copper has attracted as much at tention as that of gold. The demand for copper is steadily increasing, and from the present outlook it is evident that it will continue to increase for some years, while the production is limited and new discoveries have not kept pace with the increase in the de- mand. Prices have not advanced ma terially, though it is not improbable that there will be a sharp rise in the near future. At present a good cop per mine is more desirable than a gold or silver property.
 One trouble in the way of getting copper properties is the uncertainty of these deposits. They are frequent ly shallow surface saturations of ther- nal waters, and experienced mining men are shy of pinning their faith to the alleged discoveries of rich copper deposits, prefering to await the results of development At the same time there is always the chance that these saturations may extend to great depths, impregnating all the material affected by the overflow and filling the crevices in the rock with a rich con- centration, and therefore there is al- ways a peculiar fascination to min ing man in new copper discoveries. It is this fascination that is causing the
Arizona republican., 1898-03-10

present interest in the copper fields of the Paradox valley and the San Sal mountains recently discovered in Colorado, and if half that has been told about these regions are true, it is safe to assume that one of the most important copper discoveries of the century has been made.
 When a true Assure vein of copper is found it at once attracts attention, even though the vein is small, as the ore is generally reduced with ease, and the market is always assured and remunerative. This was illustrated recently in the case of the Bland lode claim in the Longs Peak mining dis trict in Colorado, says the Denver Re publican. The claim is nothing but a prospect, with shaft 100 feet deep, and a pay streak less than two feet wide, but smelter returns show a value of S30 to the ton and the vein seems to be continuous.
 With copper at it's present high price there is no reason why every copper prospect should not receive at tention. Development is the only source of knowing what wealth there is in it.

APPROVED BY BLISS.
The Recommendation of Commission
 CT Hermann oIf Mine Patents.

Secretary Bliss has approved the of Land Commission CT Hermann with reference to rule 53 of the new mining regulations, which was published in The Republican yes terday. It will be recalled that this rule required that at least $500 worth of work should be performed upon each mining location, whether consol- dated with others in one entry or not. Protest was made that immediate en- forcement would be unjust, and the commission recommended that the rule should not be held to apply to entries in process of administration. The sec retary has approved the recommenda-
 ton, and instructions in accordance with this ruling will be issued to the local officers in a few days.

TO GET A PATENT.
A New Rule Made By Commissioner
 Hermann.

Commissioner Hermann of the gen. eral land office has made move in the right direction in reversing a former ruling to the effect that any number of claims in a group could be patented through $500 worth of work done on one. The old rule was clearly for the benefit of the man who was able to hold group and pay the necessary expenses of securing patent, and was a rank injustice to the poor man who with one claim was compelled to do as much work as if he had a dozen con- tiguous claims. The decision was se- verely criticised at the time, as it was shown clearly to be unfair to mining men as we'll as unjust to the interests of the government. Recently MT. Hermann reviewed the matter and evil dently gave careful consideration to the equities involved, with the result that the following emanated from his pen:
 Under the old ruling the expendi- ture of $500 on one claim, where there is a group, and which expenditure has tended to develop the entire group, would have been sufficient to answer the requirements of the law The new rule now in force is that there must be an expenditure of $500 for each claim in the group, and where it is designed to confine the entire expendi- ture to one claim in a group of claims there must be such an expenditure on the one claim as will equal in the az gregate the expenditure of $500 for each and all of the claims in the group. To demonstrate, where there are three claims and it is desired to confine the work to one of the three, S1,500 must be expended"

VIOLENT DEATHS.
The Highest Number That New York
Has Ever Recorded.
01rom the New York Commercial Advertiser.]

prom the New York Commercial Advertiser.1
The death rate for the week ending Sep
tember 10 was 1901 per thousand, the
highest record for this year. The enor-
nous increase in the aggregate deaths,
which numbered 1878, against LBS the
previous week and from 1.000 to 1900 two
months ago, was due TO the recent hot
speIl. The increase in the number of
deaths in the week ending September
10 was not due to diarrhoeal diseases, in
children under five years of age. as in
the previous hot spell of July 2-9, but
directly to sunstroke.
The health department records show
aes violent deaths during the week end
ing September 10. against 92 the previous
week and 156 for the week Of July 9,
which covered the preceding hot spell.
OF the total number of violent deaths
only 10 were suicides. The increase in
number of deaths of children under five
years of age was only 81 from the pre-
vious week. while the number of those
more than five years of age jumped from
595 to 935, an increase of $40. Deaths
from diarrhoeal diseases, which in the
week of July 9 increased 229, in the week
of September 10 decreased 6. Deaths from
malarial and typhoid fever more than
doubled the record of the previous week.
while most of the other diseases showed
a decrease. More than half of the per-
sons who died violent deaths were be-
tween twenty-five and forty-five years
of age.

GRANTED A HEARING.
National Banks Protest Against
Paying Tax stock.


Paying Tax stock.
Nathaniel Wilson appeared before the
District Commissioners yesterday and de-
livered a lengthy argument in behalf Of
the national banks of the city against
the proposal to assess the capital stock
of such institutions.
The hearing which was granted Mr.
Wilson yesterday should have taken
place Oh the 18th of September. but was
postponed.
II will be remembered that the attorney
for the District recently handed down
an opinion. in which he held that the
capital stock of national banks was sub
ject TO taxation. The Commissioners
thereupon decided to impose the tax. but
before doing so they were willing TO en-
tertain recommendations from represent
atives of the banks. In the course OF his
argument, Mr.. Wilson said:
Il understand that those who have
made the proposition TO enter upon this
new crusade against the banks do not
dispute, but expressly admit, the sound
ness and correctness of the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the District, and
of the position heretofore taken by the
Commissioners in respect OF that oeci-
sion They even admit that the eleventh
section of the act of 1877 has no applica-
ton TO the banks of the District and
their contention seems to be that the
shares of the capital stock of the banks
are now. and have been, subject to tax
alton.
The answer TO that claim is that there
is no law in force in the District provid-
ing for the assessment in taxation of
the shares of stock of national banks.

of the Octagon, which had covered a Pc
riod of nearly thirty years.
The architect of the 0ctagon, DIR. Will
lam Thornton, was a Ihsih of note. He
was born in the Island of Tortola West
Indies May q. 1851; studied and Travelled
extensively in Europe, and married a
Miss Brodeau, of Philadelphia, in 1890. In
the year 1898 he moved TO Washington,
where he lived until hisldeath, in 1928.
AS an architect he was the successful
competitor for the United States Capitol.
He designed and supervised buildings for
Gen. Washington; Montpelier, the resi-
dence of James Madison the Octagon
House, Tudor Place in Georgetown, and
probably other works of interest.
In September, 1894. he was made one
of the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia. and had charge of executing
the plan of the city. His position was
abolished soon after the Government
took possession of Washington, In 1902
In May 1902, he was made superintend-
ent of patents. This position he retained
until his DEATH in 1925 having been the
organizer of this important branch of the

EARLY RAILROADS.
How Tracks Were Made and Trains
Run Sixty YeDrs Ago.

(From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicie.)
Irving d. Cook, who lives near South
Byron, recently repaired q barn on the
old Cook homestead that was built many
years ago. In taking out granary some
tiInbers found in its construction were
recognized by Mr. Cook as u part of the
first old New York Central Railroad
roadbed that was built TO Byron. which
was for time the terminus. about sixty
years ago. These white oak sticks were
three by four inches, a. sound as when
first used. and were what the first strap
rail was nailed or spiked on. The imprint
of the Pinch iron strap is plainly seen
Mr. Cooks recollection OF the early rail-
roading is very clear. as the road crosses
his farm.
He says ties were first laid, and on
these were placed long stringers, which
were of any kind of timber that could be
obtained from farmers near by. These
stringers were hewn on the upper side,
and on the under side were notched
where they crossed each tie. On these
strinsers and running in the same direc-
ton white oak scantlings were fastened.
Where the end of the strips of iron met,
a short piece was placed so that the ends
of the rail, IL they might be called that.
would not indent the wood.
There We're no section bosses in those
days. and handcars were unknown. The
first repair gang consisted of three men,
who carried a few spikes, a chisel, an
auger, hand saw, etc, in a handled bas-
ket The few heavy tools, like crowbar,
adze and shovel. were carried the
mems shoulders. The men worked as they
pleased, and during the hot summer days
it was no uncommon thing for the gang
TO spend hours in the shade of Mr.. Cooks
sugar bush. adjoining the track Trains
were infrequent, and a roadmasters
pony was unknown.
Among the locomotives first used for
freight and passenger service We're the
Louis Brooks, Whittlesey, Asa Sprague,
and No. T. The last was known as the Iron
Engine, because no wood was used in its
construction except in the cab. These en-
gfnes had only one drivewheel on each
side. The first Fourth of July after the
road was constructed and in RUNNING or
der was observed by the railroad com
pany by firing a cannon from the rear
platform of the last car on approaching
stations. The passenger cars were short
and much like the body of a stage coach
Some of these passenger ears had an up
per story, and from this upper deck Mr..
Cook saw Martin Van Buren climb down
to shake hands with a crowd when he
was running for the Presidency. The
conductor was then called a collector.
and passed along on the outside of the
cars on RUNNING board that extended
the entire length of the car. The putting
of names on engines was discontinued
