MINING NOTES.

Prescott as an operating center and
 Yavapai as a practical field seems to
 be the rue in these days of Arizona
 mines and mining. So great is the
 interest manifested and so eagerly is capital coming in, interest naturally awakens to the fact that there must be something to attract It is told in one brief sentence, and may be said to be behind the fact that aside from devel- opment work, Yavapai county today supports more plants to handle it's min eral product and they cover a greater area in the mineral domain of the county than is probably enjoyed by any ether distinctively mining regiGn in the southwest. A fact which Ihe intending investor must necessarily concur in is also shown in the indisput- abe argument that in production and wealth, and shipment of ores Yavapai today, in numbers of plants in opera tion, and valuation Of products alone, excels that Of the entire territory com bined. This may seem a biased opin- ion, but in view of the fact that today more stamps are dropping. and more ore is being sent out than ever in it's history, we believe the claim will war rant the stand. Below are some of the plants in operation CT ready to run, and to the general product of them must be associated the 100 ton smelter pant of the famous United Verde that is running day and night, the fifty ten cyanide works of Congress the Zonia copper smelter, the Prescott sampler and numerous other smaller concerns which in the aggregate represent over a thousand tons of ore which is daily being handled from the mines Of Yav- apai ccunty.-Journal-M
 4 shipment Of ore from the Monte Cristo mine, Groom creek, owned by Messrs. Hutchins 6 Nolan, has given returns of s45 gold and 1271b ounces silver per ton. J. R. Slack has leased the mine and will sink upon it 150 feet. Courier

Mines and Mining

where a hoist on the shaft has just been completed.
 About mile and a half up the gulch from the Red Jacket is the New Home. the property of MT. Block of Prescott, where considerable development work is being done. A hoist is now being erected and there Is every prospect uf this turning out to be good propo- sition.
 The Henrietta mine, which has 8 very complete plant and over mile of development work, was started seven years ago, but about eighteen months since was shut down ewing to some vexatious litigation. The legal diffi- cuities are now, however, pretty well cleared up and the mine which is un der bond to a MT. Dowling-an Eng hshman-is expected to almost imme- diately resume work.
 Other prospecting work is being dcnc west of Red Rock and there is great activity in the Big Bug district generally-"more than ever before in it's history" being an expression used by more than one of the gentlemen I had the pleasure of interviewing to- day, and who are certainly in 6 posi- ticn to know.

THE HAM SCMELLER.
A Strange Occupation in Which q
 Mans Nose Is His Best Friend.

| One Of the curious businesses that men engage in is ham smelling in
 packing houses. It is a business al lied with that of tea tasting or wine testing and the like The ham smeller is technically known as a ham tester It is his business to inspect meat prod ucts and judge Of their soundness. This is done before the meats leave the house or when they are bought from ether concerns to fill a shortage
 The ham smeller's only tools are long steel trier and his nose It is often necessary to test hams after they come out of the sweet pickle and be- fore they go into the smoke house The ham smeiler stands in a barrel to keep his clothes from being soi.ed by the dripping brine and the hams are brought to him by workmen A ham is laid before him and he plunges his sharp pointed trier into it, with draws it and passes it swiftly beneath his ncse. The trier always goes down to the knucllle joint. In testing meal in that manner the man with the trier judges by the slightest shade Of differ ence between the smell of one piece of meat and another. The smell of the meat is almost universally sweet and that is what he smells. the slightest taint or deviation from the sweet smell is therefore appreciable. It is not the degree Of taintedness that he. expects to find, but the slightest oder that is not sweet. When he detects an odor he throws the meat aside. and if it is not unwholesome it is sold as rejected meat, but if it is tainted it goes to the rendering tanks. The ham tester smells meat from o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock at night and his sense must never become faded or inezact, or his usefulness would be at an end
 Ham testing is not a pursuit danger ous to the health, as tea testing is sup posed to be, but the ham smeller with cold in his head is like a piano player who loses his sSIns in a rail road Wreck-Kansas City Star

Wonderful Trees.

The bread-fruit tree of Ceylon is
very remarkable. Its fruit is baked and
eaten as we eat bread, and is equally
good and nutritious. In Barbutu, South
America, is tree which, by piercing
the trunk, produces milk, with which
the inhabitants feed their children.
In the interior of Africa is tree which
produces excellent butter. 1t resem-
bles oak, but it bears fruit, from which
the butter is prepared. Park. the great
traveller, declared that the butter sur
passed any made in England from
cows milk. At Table bay, near
the Cape of Good Hope, is a small tree.
the berries of which make excellent
candles 1t is also found in the Azores.
The vegetable tallow tree also grows
in Sumatra, in Algeria and in China.
In the Island of Chusan large quanti-
ties of oil and tallow are extracted
from it's fruit, which is gathered in
November or December, when the tree
has lost all its leaves. The bark of
tree in China produces a beautiful
soap. Trees of the sapigdus or soap
berry order also grow in the north OF
Africa.

cried Clarice, softly. But that Isn't
all. Next came the sealing of the let
ter. How do you suppose little great
grandmother did that?"
Il s'pose with the tipsy-tip of her
tongue. l do"
Not at ALL She had much nicer
way. She sealed 1t with dainty little
patch of sealing wax, just where the
two ends met That kept the letter as
snug and safe as your letter will be.
Perhaps the sealing wax was red or
green or blue. And maybe the seal
was perfect square or round, and had
a little picture or some words on 1t.
One beautiful little glass seal | know
of had 'All's Well on it. Could any
thing be prettier than that? Why,
that was little great-grandmother's
seal itself-my grandmother's. It's
upstairs" Mamma stopped, as If she
were thinking about her dear old
white-capped grandmother. Her face
put ON tender look that Clarice liked.
WAS that all, mammal" she asked
SOIlly, dllcI A>o VA, 49,
Then little great-grandmother direct
ed her letter and took it to the post
office. That's another queerness, for
l expect maybe she had to ride a good
many miles, and who knows but that
1t was up behind great-great-grand-
father on old Whitenose's back"
"Oh, my! Truly?"
II shouldn't wonder bit. At the
postoffice they marked Paid D. OF
whatever sum the postage amounted
to, in one corner in big red letters.
That was all the postage stamp it had.
In the other corner was stamped the
big queer looking postmark. Then the
letter was ready to go. A horseback
rider took it, perhaps, in his mall
saddle bags, and then mail
coach carried it the rest of the way.
It took long time to get there. And
that's the end of the story with
period" Clarice sat moment or two,
wondering over little great-grandmoth-
er's queer letter. Then she went back
to her own. II want to-" she cried.
"Ive got so much to tell grandma
bout now! I needn't put in any more
weather or anything. l know for GER
tain grandmall be interested in this.
And, o mamma, can't l fold 1T an
seal 1t like little great-grandmother's,
just this once?" Mamma laughed, but
when the letter was finished it was
carefully folded as nearly as possible
like little reat-grandmother's letter,
and sealed with her very own tiny
glass seal that said "All's Well" But
there was a postage stamp in one corr
near. Mamma said there must be.

RINEHART's INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that so complete and spectacular
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege of witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs of the most noted
CulelS pItocuJ anu SuCCceucu al OUIdfu-
ing a collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. Rinehart, the photograph
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in few art stores some hand
colored proofs which, Notwithstanding
their high price, sold at once, and these
Indian pictures have become the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr.. Rinehart the
privilege of reproducing the best four
Of these pictures, Chiefs wolf Robe"
"Louison," Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
ton yet attempted. The heads are
6xS inches, one on sheet, wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures, particularly
suited for holiday gifts Owing to the
expense but very small edition has
been issued. They will be sent, how
ever, while the supply lasts to any per-
son sending 25 cents in stamps or silver
to cover the royalty charges and the
expense of packing and mailing to F.

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed in service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati
and ST. Louis. The performance OF
these engines has been eminently sat
isfactory and up to the highest expec-
tation. The same line has also in SER
vice so consolidation compound freight
engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
was already in use. The compound
engines were an experiment but hard
service has proved that they are en-
tirely successful and show a saving Of
Is per cent in fuel as compared with
simple engines of the same type. EX-
haustive tests were made with both
the simple and compound locomotives
before the order for the entire lot was
placed with the result vastly in favor
of the compound locomotives.

A Tramp Cat.

A few months ago strange cal
strolled into the house Of a Kentucky
farmer and sat blinking at the kitchen
fire with an air of great assurance, as
IL to say: 1--WE concluded to come and
live with you" But the farmer did
not take kindly to the newcomer; he
tried several times to throw the cat
him so viciously that he was glad to
leave her in quiet possession. The cat
Immediately became very fond of Liz
zie, the 5-year-old daughter Of the
farmer, and followed her everywhere
she went. One day Lizzie went into
the. garden to play among the flowers,
and the cat took up her position about
six feet away. After awhile the little
girl rose to depart, when, to her sur
prise and dismay, she saw an ugly,
poisonous snake, about three feet long,
behind her, coiled up and ready to
strike. But the cat had seen the rep
tile, too, and with one bound she
pounced upon him and bit him on the
neck. Then ensued long and desper-
ate fight, in which the cat was getting
the best of it, when the screams of the
little girl attracted the farmers wife to
the scene of the catastrophe, and his
snakeship was speedily dispatched with
garden tool The farmer now says
he is glad the tramp cat" stayed; and
ever since her brave encounter with
the snake pussy gets an extra saucer
of milk from the hand of her little
friend Lizzie. On such occasions she
blinks and looks at the farmer in a
way which shows she fully realizes
what valuable cat she is.
