A Sad Accident.

Louis Junney, an employee of the Copper Queen company met with an accident on Monday night which will probably make him a cripple for the balance of his life. He was employed in the Holbrook shaft and with his fellow miners went to work at 6 o'clock Monday night. Everything went well until nearly quitting time when Junney started across the stope and in some manner lost his footing, falling down a distance of nearly sixty feet. When found he was unconscious, in which condition he remained for several hours after being taken to the company hospi. tai. He was badly cut up, one wound in the head requiring ten stitches to close it up. In falling he hit his back bone against the timbers, and the lower part of his body has been in paralyzed condition every since. It Is feared that he W never again have the use cf his lower limbs.
 Junney is a recent arrival in Bisbee and has not been at work in the mines long. He has the sympathy of the community in his misfortune and they sincerely hope for his ultimate recovery.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Blsbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company On the north. The latter company has been in operation Tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and snlelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,00O,OO0 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000, 1000, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's en- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- .Velop:nent.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these ,yalu- able mines are local business men, well and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board Of directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders nave placed their entire interest in escrow for term of enc year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and lim- ited number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 
 Every cent received from che sale Of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutini2e our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.

A BIG MINING DEAL.
Group Near Phoenix Sold for $7oo, ,ooo.

A mining deal important on account of it's magnitude, and especially impor- tant to Phoenix, bece1se it will be fol- lowed by extensive perations with this town as the base, is said to have just closed. It is the sale of the Portman- teau group, in the Cave creek distrct, to party of Boston capitalists. The seller is the Nicholson Gold Mining company, embracing Charles l.. Clark and associ- ates, of Montana, and Messrs. Field and Davis of St. Louis. The consideration is $7OO,00O in gold. The transaction has been hanging fire for several months, and the property has been thoroughly investigated. An estimate, twice con- firmed, places the value of the ore in sight at $l, 200, ,0o0O.
 The Portmanteau group, embracing several gold claims, was located by A. J. Edwards several years ago. The prop erty passed into the hands of Frank Nicholson, Who organized the Nicholson Gold Mining company six years ago. During Edwards ownership of the property considerable development work was done and great deal of ore was handled by means of arrastras. Alto gether there is about 4200 feet of under ground work. It is a curious fact that there has never been any kind of power or modern machinery on the ground, SO that the owners have bought only the bare claims with magnificent certainty that they contain ore Tn value $5G0 ,000 in excess of the purchase price. This affords them margin for putting in'sny kind of machinery they want. It is said that operations will be begun at once on. an extensive scale. Enough work has already already been done for the present, so that the immediate business will be to take out gold.-Phoenix Republican.

and otherwise, leaving his case
now in as good condition as his

"All stories about Stewart be-

MoME OF THE HORNET.

When the hornet comes from his cell
says the Scientific american, he does
so a full-fedged worker and at once
begins to labor, The new hornets are
courteously received by their lonely
mother, who shows them where water
and wood fiber can be found and they
proceed to enlarge the nest. They are
deliberate workers. No two insects
work on the same part of the nest,and
they never encroach on each others
territory.
A nest is never used a second sea-
son. One popularity about the hor-
nets is that they seem to have the
faculty of marking the direction from
which a missile is thrown. A senti-
mel always stands at the door of the
nest and almost the instant a stone is
hurled by some mischievous boy he
gets what feeis like stunning blow
in the forehead, for the wary watcher
flies with head and tail together and
stings viciously.
The sting of the hornet, of all insect
stings, is most to be dreaded. The
sting to the naked eye looks like fine
needle, but under the microscope it is
seen to consist of three pieces, short
stout, outer sheaf cleft through its
length on the underside and obtuse at
the end, Within which are partly con-
tanned two large curved lances furnish
ed on one edge with teeth directed
backward. A poison duct leads to the
teeth.
The hornets nest is commenced in
the early springtime by the female hor-
net, who has passed the winter in some
old tree trunk or decaying stump.
She gathers the wood fibers from
fence rails or logs, chews them and
applies the pasty solution to the limb
she has selected as the site of her
future dwelling, This she does until
she has formed twenty-four little cells
and in them she lays her eggs, cover
ing the cells until the eggs hatch and
the larvae have to be fed, Then she
stores food in each cell and covers
them up again with a white substance.

Will Not be Executed.

Gen. G. G.. Beavens and Mr.. A.
A. Brinsmade have returned to
Houston from Mexico, where they
went in behalf of Mac Stewart,
the Confederate veteran who was
under sentence of death at Chi
huahua for killing policeman
about four years ago. They Wis
tied the City of Mexico and Chi
huahua, had interviews with
President Diaz, the secretary of
state and Gov. Ahumada of Chi
huahua. and make the following
statement of the facts and pres
emit conditions for the informa-
tiou of Mac Stewards friends:
"Stewart's was an ugly case
from the start. Three courts have
passed upon it and all three have
confirmed the death sentence. He
might have taken a further APP
peal, but his friends believed that
there was no hope in that direc-
ton and that it would only tend
to lengthen the term of his con
finement. Under their advice
Stewart accepted the decision
and applied for a pardon or com
mutation of punishment. All talk
about applying for a pardon to
President Diaz or to congress or
to the legislature of Chihuahua
was nonsense, because neither of
these have the power to pardon
In such cases. That power rests
only in the governor of Chihua-
hua, and that humane and liberal
minded official at once pardoned
Stewart as to the death penalty
and committed the punishment to
the shortest term of imprison-
