Journal Miner: Hon A. J. Doran, who has been working the Accidental mine under bond for year or more. closed the deal for it on Tuesday by paying the amount of the purchase price to its owners and receiving a deed for 1t. MT. Doran immediately executed a deed for the property, transferring it to the Montgomery Gold Mining Co., MT. Doran has opened up the property to a satisfactory point now that he has felt justified in ordering a stamp mill to place on it for the reduction of the ore, the order having been placed yesterday. The mill will only have five stamps to start in with, but power will be provided for ten stamps and the mill will be erected so that the five additional stamps can be added whenever neces- sary. The accidental is an old prop erty having been formerly worked by Major c. P. Dake. It has always had good re. utation as a producer Of good ore and the work which MT. Doran has done on it has added to it's reputation in this respect.

 Globe Times: L. W. Brophy and Geo. Hamilton are working their Badger extension mine in Gold Hill guch, taking out mill run for the Kasser mill in Lost gulch. The ore is free milling gold and assays as taken out of the vein from ten to thirty dol lars per ton.
 Globe Belt: Orin Allison was here last week from Allison Bros. mines, east of the San Carlos strip, with fine specimens of copper ore from a strike recently made on one of thelr claims. He returned to the mines yesterday, accompanied by q. NJ. Allison, who will be absent until next Saturday.
 Graham Bulletin: Ash Peak dis trict is an ideal ground for prospect ing. A good spring of never failng water, an abundance of grazing for stock, plenty of wood, and but twelve miles over good road to Duncan, where a man can get supplies of all kiuds at reasonable figures.
 Graham Bulletin: A letter from Judge John Blake of Stafford, informs the Bulletin that recent shipment from the Friend mine on the San Car los strip netted s92O This shipment was mostly second grade ore. This is the second car of ore shipped from this mine, the first one having netted over S2.000.
 Yuma Sentinel: George Simon, or Diamond George, was in town this week from prospecting trip in the Cocopah mountains. George exhibits a piece of ore which he says assays S2, 5ss per ton and was taken from a four foot ledge. The rock is free mill ing and it would take but small ledge of the class of rock which he exhibits to prove a bonanza.
 Journal Miner: Word comes from Jerome that a big body of rich ore was struck yesterday in the shaft of the 1888 mine of the United Verde Extension Co. Mention was made in these columns few days ago that the formation in the shaft had changed and that indications of ore were good. If this information is cor rect it only proves the theory that has always been held concerning these properties known as the Hull group, or the Verde Extension O.. .'s property. The shaft in which the ore is report ed to have been found is located with in stones throw of the United Yer de Copper O. s smelte- and boarding house, and within a very few feet of the line of the Wade Hampton mine, from which very large proportion of the rich ore of the United Verde mine has been taken. Development work is also progressing satisfactorily on the other claims of the United Verde Extension Co. On the Jerome claim two drifts have been started from the bottom of the 245-foot shaft. Another shaft, known as the North shaft, has been sunk IS feet and drift west from tho hotfnn jS in nicp

The young lawyer has good taste in

about in search of them. He knows

furniture and have the money to pay
for it may find what will delight their
souls. SO it was no more than nat

bargain so too long. Only let ME
know as soon as you can, SO that

A Valuable Truckload.

Perhaps as costly commodity as
any that is carried in considerable
quantities in truckloads is Sumatra to-
bacco, such as is used for cigar wrap
pers. Sumatra wrappers cost from
81 to 81 pound, and the import duty
on them is S1.S5 pound. This tobacco
is imported in small. compact bales
weighing Ito or $50 pounds each. Duty
paid Sumatra would be worth about
$500 bale, and there can be carried on
a truck fifty bales or more; so that a
so bale truckload of such tobacco
would be worth about $3O,OOO.-New

odd Tendencies of Slang.

A writer in the Journal des Debats
complains of the process Of degrade
ton which is going on in the French
language. The peasantry, for instance,
frequently speak Of the ass, humble
partner in their daily toll, as ''the min
lister" and other words of dignified
import are applied to equally humble,
II not actually base, uses.
The same tendency, however, appears,
to be showing itself in Germany, where
the title monarch" passes current in
modern slang as designation for
tramps and footpads. The other day q
noncommissioned officer in charge of
barracks at Danzig addressed this
term to troublesome private just as a
captain happened to be passing. The
latter at once reported the incident.
