FIELDS OF PURE GOLD.
THE Metal Is So Rich 1t Goes Direct
to Refinery.


The strike Of gold ore lately made
on the 5OO-foot level of the Crowned
King mine, in Bradshaw basin, 80
miles south of Prescott. Ari.. is caus-
ing greater excitement than did the
great silver discoveries in Peck district
q years ago. A few days ago us
miners dug into an ore chute that IS
producing mineral never before known
In Arizona. Samples Of the ore
brought to Prescott are, practically, all
gold, and the 10-inch pay streak" as
far as developed is declared worth full
~ 100000 ton.
Many Of the specimens are very
snowy, the free gold having for COM
pany the clearest cystals. The miners
have been feyerishly digging into the
10-inch GolcOnda, but it is reported to
10 be holding out with shrinkage Of
neither width nor value. The ore is
being sacked for shipment direct to
the gold refinery, being far too valua-
bic to handle in the 10-stamp mill at
idclleu 10 JHe properly,
The Crowned King mine has been
known for many years as one of the
best in Arizona, though not until five
years ago did the owners succeed in
securing n process for economically re-
ducing the ores. The ore dyke is a
strong one, well defined in its course
up a steep hill. From the grass roots
1t has carried nothing but the most
basic Of sulphurcts, averaging more
than $50 per ton In gold. The values
have steadily increased as depth has
been secured. All but the richest ore
has been run through the company's
mill and then concentrated, the tail
lngs being treated In cyanide tanks.
Under this system the company has
been paying n regular monthly diyi-
dend of $12 share. Last year few
extra dividends were declared.
Along with this n steady policy Of
Improvement has been pursued, till
now the mine is called by experts one
Of the best "opened-up" properties in
the west The location Of the vein Is
favorable for the miner who desires to
work on theoretical lines. Tunnels
have been driven into the hill, in ledge
matter, even 100 feet of vertical depth,
the series Of tunnels opening above the
mill From the top Of the hill has been
sunk q shaft that connects all the tun-
nels ana establishes excellent ventila-
ton and communication. Thus much
of the ore is lowered to the mill, and
the expense of working is reduced to a
minimum.
A curious feature Of the strike is the
abrupt change of the ore from the
most basic Of iron pyrites to free gold.
In this region nearly all mines are
freemlling on the surface, where oxi-
dation has occurred, but below this is
almost inyariablc encountered sui
phides in quantity that forbids reduc-
ton by the old-fashioned stamp mill.

Seeing bullets q Ther rIr.

AS every sportsman knows" said
an enthusiastic New Orleans hunter,
1T is easy to see a rifle bullet in the
air, and those fired from the new high
power guns are very curious to look
at. Stand 4 dozen yards to one side
of the mark and let friend blaze
away at any range with a small cali
bre weapon using smokeless powder,
and you'll see a strange, bluish-white
streak the instant the bullet strikes
home. The streak is apparently cou-
pie of inches wide and several feet
long, and is more like a flash of light
than anything else can think of. With
the old-fashioned Remington or Spring
field carbine the bullet has the appear
ance of a long black rod, and l don't
know why there should be such a
difference in the optical illusion pro-
duced by the smaller calibre. l have
heard some people deny that the bull
let can be seen, but they are very
much in error. 1t all depends on get
ting the right viewpoint. A few feet
either way will render the missile in
visible. but the right spot is soon found
by experiment, and after that the thing
is as plain as day"

fl 6hlId'S associates.

The influence of young people on
one another cannot be orerestimated
and for that reason it bchooves
parents to see that their children are
thrown with companions whose ways
of thinking and living are such as
they approve.
1t is always possible for a mother
to choose more or less her childrens'
associates when they are young,
which friendships naturally continue
as the children grow older. The
most plastic and receptive age is
from IA to Is or 20. Outside opinion
at that time carries more weight than
at any other period. For boys a big
boarding school solves the problem in
the best way possible OF course,
there the choice of companions is not
under a parents own jurisdiction, but
the ambitions of schoolboy are in
the main to be trusted To be manly
are the traditions of every good school
and anything to the contrary is gener-
ally detected and punished, not only
by the masters, but by the boys
themselves, says writer in the New
York Tribune.
1t is hard for mother to realize
that home influence is after certain
age, bad for her boy; that outside OF
her tender, solieitous care for his
welfare his finer qualities would have
better chance of developing. IL is
nevertheless true that her direct and
daily influence in 80 cases out of 100
is stultifying After he has reached
the age of IS or IA, and his early
principles are good, ii she sends him
to lirst-class boarding school she
has done all she can.
With girls the case is more puzal-
ing the outside inspiration and in
stigation begin at the same age, but
school in their case is not always de-
sirabe. A large girls boarding
school has not the same influence
that large boys school has on the
character, and it depends on the in
dividual whether she improves or de-
teriorates under its rule. We natur-
all feel that our daughters need TO be
more shielded than our sons. Per-
haps the new century girl, with her
tendency to athletics and her higher
education, may find the same adyant-
ages in a boarding school as her
brother. 1t will be interesting to
watch her development in this
direction

Profits from His Fishing Fleet This

tom Nick" or "Cap'n Tom" is said
to have made $4,000 at least, clear
profit, this year out of his fishing fleet.
So say the wisest Of the Buoksporters.
and they refer 60 Capt. Thomas Mich
olson of that town and to his business
prosperity. Cap'n Tom is one of the
few men in Bueksport, Me-, who are
worth more than 100000, and when he
started in life he hadn't a cent or a
soul to give him a helping hand, says
the Lewiston tMe) Journal.
The story of Cap'n Toms life is q
story of thrift, tireless industry and
rapid money making. All along the
eastern coast, from Maine to Boston,
he is known as remarkable man.
When he was 10 years of age he made
his first trip to sea--went fishing on
the Grand Banks in Buckport
schooner, and for some years he con-
tinued to catch Goldfish on shares, as
one of the crew. The shares were lib
eral In those days, however, and the
men who were willing to work extra
hours, stealing the time from their
watch below, used to make good
deal Of money by cutting out the Gods
tongues and sounds and picking them
for the home market, those parts OF
the fishes being, by custom, thrown
In" to "fat up" the mems wages.
Cap'n Tom Is a bachelor, aged about
40 years. Often he may be seen at
work in his little Office at 8 o'clock In
the morning. He talks and apparently
thinks of nothing but his fishing yes
