PIMA MINING DISTRICT.

It is again coming to the front as producer. The San Xavier mines VIII be under full headway in 8 few days. The Corda brothers are working the1r Matchless mine, the ore of which runs from $350 to $5,O00 per ton; Doyle & Dougherty are taking out rich ore from their claim on Helmet Peak; Douglass Snyder is working his cop per claims and Baxter Ellis and Irish are taking out an excellent grade of ore from their Twin Butte property. The Azurite Copper and Gold Mining company are very much pleased with the developments on their property. and are getting things in shape to work on an extensive scale. A hoist has been ordered and as soon as it arrives the work of taking out ore will be commenced in earnest. A number of new bodies of high grade ore have been uncovered on the lower levels and the future of this group is an assured one.
 Howard E. Barnes is operating be- tween Helmet Peak and the San Xavier mines. At forty feet in depth he has struck large body of sulphide ore that carries gold and silver enough to pay all the expenses of min ing. The whole bottom of the shaft is in ore and as it is improving as it goes down there will be something in teresting heard from it ere long.

VISIT TO VULTURE.

Leaving Maricopa next morning by the Maricopa & Phoenix short line, we reached Phoenix at 1 olock, in time for a fine dinner with our old friend, George H. N. Luhrs of the Commercial hotel. At 8 p. m. we left Phoenix for Wickenburg arriving at midnight. The following morning was spent in company with Harvey Helm, the efficient manager of Helm Bros 100 ton cyanide plant, which is treating the big pile of old Vulture tailings at the old Vulture mill site above Wickenburg These tailings are from the first ore milled from the Vul- ture and are very rich. Messrs. Helm Bros. are making a great success Of their treatment and are making money very rapidly. Manager Helm has a very comfortable residence near the works, and with his, estimable and handsome wife seems to be taking the world pretty easy. Howard Burmis- ter, son of R. H. Burmister, Esq, of Prescott is assisting MT. Helm in the laboratory, for which work he quail fled himself by taking technical course at the University of California MT. Burmister is working up the prac- tical part of cyaniding, intending later on to take a post graduate course in mining at Columbia college, New York Jerome News.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

A wave of mining excitement has struck Holbrook lately.
 Sheriff Wattron and H. J. Messen- ger have been developing a prospect southwest of Holbrook for the last two months which promises to become a paying gold producer in the near fu- ture.
 Charles Clark of Jerome, the real estate agent, has beautiful specimen from the Monte Cristo mine on Groom creek, at his office. The specimen shows considerable wire silver and is very rich.
 Some of our mining exchanges ar que that while the war excitement will have a bad effect on speculations in mines, it will rather increase the val ues of ore and hence stimulate legiti- mate Southwest Bullion
 The upward tendency in the price of copper will have an invigorating influence on many a camp. It will put many idle miners to work and re- suits in the development of large number of properties which have heretofore been idle.
 MT. George P. Blair superintendent of the Mammoth mine, accompanied by Mrs. Blair, is in Tucson. He re- ports everything running smoothly and the mine and mill working night and day. The tramway has been a great success and reduced the delivery of ore at the mill and water at the time to a minimum.
 s. H. Gould, superintendent of the Old Glory mine at Gro Blanco, was ir Nogales Tuesday. Work on the Ole Glory still continues and daily demon strates that the property is a paying one under capable management. Int mine contains large bodies of low

enthusiasm over the volunteer move ment in this city is something un- precedentnd. Men who were hanging around the recruiting offices a few days ago and looking on from sort of idle curiosity, are now putting their names down on the enrolling list One reason for this increase in recruits the past few days is the announcement from Washington that the volunteer regiments will be asked to take the place O fthe national guard regiments that have been called into the regu- lar service and do home duty. Hun dreds of men who do not feel able to quit the city are more than willing to do what they can for the preserva- tion of peace at home. The withdraw al of the national guard will not leave the city unprotected from rioters or strikers who might take advantage of the war agitation.

positiye beef tendencies capable of making very creditable dairy records, and a great many that combine milk and beef to a profitable degree, but who can recall an instance of a good carcass of beef ever coming from a steer of pronounced dairy type pr breed? So clearly and definitely is this beef type established that to de- part from it means to sacrifice beef excellence.
 The first thing that should be looked to is the general beef form-lcw, broad, deep, smooth and even with parallel lines. No wedge shape is wanted for the block. Next in i'm portance is a thick, even covering of the right kind of meat in the parts that give the high priced cuts. This is very important factor in beef cat tie that is often overlooked. About 2S per cent of a good carcass of beef sells for nearly GA per cent of the total vaiue. The high priced cuts are the ribs and Joins. These parts on an ay- craze sell for about three times IS much per pound as the others. Good broad, well covered backs and ribs are absolutely necessary to a good carcass of beef, and no other excellence how ever great will compensate for the lack of this essential. It is necessary to both breed and feed for thickness n these parts. And mere thickness and substance here are not all. Animals that are soft and patchy, or are hard and rolled on the back, are sure 70 give defective and objectionable car rrr1 h and they also cut up with correspond ingly greater waste. The men who buy our cattle and fix their market value are shrewd enough to know d. most at glance how much and just what kind of meat a steer or carload of steers will cut out, and if the pre- ducer overlooks any of the essential points he is compelled to bear the loss.
 Then in addition to securing the general beef form and make up, to gether with good backs, ribs and loins there is a certain quality, characte- style and finish that constitute an important factor in determining the value of beef cattle One of the first indications of this is to be found in the skin and coat A good feeding an imal should have a soft, mellow touch and fine but thick and heavy coat A harsh unyielding skin is an indica- ton of sluggish circulation and low digestive powers. The character and finish exemplified by clear promi- nent yet placid eye, clean cut features fine horn and clean, firm bone all go to indicate good feeding quality and capacity to take on finish Of the highest excellence, and consequently to command top prices. I would not tolerate too large or too coarse bone Coarse boned, rough animals are al most invariably slow feeders and hard to finish properly. A certain amount of size is necessary, but it should be obtained without coarseness. The present demand exacts quality and hn- ish rather than size. Besides these qualities, and above all, it is neces- sary to have vigor and constitution We find evidence of these in a wide forehead, a prominent brisket, broad chest, full heart girth, and genera robust appearance, and without them either excellence will not have Its highest significance.-Prof. c. F. Cur tis, director Iowa experiment station

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE IN BEEF

There is well defined beef type that admits of less fiexibility than is gener- ally appreciated. We hear much about the dairy type, and there is a dairy type fairly clean cut and well defined, but there is also a beef type more rigid and less variable. All know that there are not few cows of quite

A Trip to St. Marks.

The editor Of the BREEZE, accompan
, led by Mr. Fred Farley, visited st
Marks, Sunday, and took In the many
sights Of that historical old town.
st, Marks is the terminus of the st
Marks r. r., which is the oldest raj
road in Florida, and third Oldest in h,
world. We arrived there at about II
o'clock in the forenoon, and Immediate
~ procured boat and went down the
river to the old Spanish Fort
This old fort is situated at the confu-
ence of the st Marks and Wakulla riy-
ers, and commands fine view of the
surrounding country, as well as the
mouth of the river.
Only the plastered brick walls
Of this fine old building are now left
standing, although the breastworks are
as solid as they were three quarters of
Il century ago, and the grounds are car
peted with rich growth of meadow
grass, and shaded by beautiful little
grove of cedar trees.
The place where the powder maya
zine was situated, has been filled in,
making large mound, on top of which,
md shaded by a splendid cedar, some
fisherman with romantic turn Of
mind has built little cottage of pal
metto leaves.
Beneath the shadow of the walls of
the now delapidated old fort, we ate
our lunch, after which we returned
to st. Marks, and strolling up to the
hospitable home of Mr.. w. ii, Harrell,
spent the balance Of the evening very
pleasantly with that gentleman and his
family
st. Marks was once rated anidng the
principal ports of the United States,
but has dwindled down until the GUS
toms examiner has been removed, and
it has become simply landing place
f)r fishing smacks and starting
point for Cuban filibusters.
There are only two stores and shin
gle factory there now, but St. Marks
will always be a paradise for fishermen,
hunters and sight-seers.
