 The safe in A. A. Castenada's store, at Benson, was blown open by burglars on Thursday night and about $50 taken therefrom. The parties who did the job evidently understood their business.

STILL TREY COMB.
An Ore Eoiy SlruCk n the Lowell
 ana AriZrna Sh lft.

It has always teen stated and claimed
 by experienced mining men that the
 Warren Mining district, and especially
 ln the vicinity oi Biabee, possessed in
 dications oi one of the largest bodies of
 copper ore known in the country, and
 the development work heirG done dMly
 in tbe district continues to prove the ga
 assertions. By, some it Was claimed
 that the Copper Queen company had
 secured all of the mining claims in
 which ore bodies were known to exist,
 but the results of labor aDd money dur ing the past few months have shown how erroneous were these assertions.
 The South Bisbee company was the first to open up any claims on the out side which sowed the existance of other ore bodies. While sinking their shaft a small body Of carbonate ore was struck near the 601 foot level. The Cochise has
 from its l00-oot level to it's present depth had more or less sulphide o-e in its shaft, which is at present increasing in width as the shaft depens, and now comes the Lowell and Arizona com pany, the last to begin work, with rich strike. This company began work a few months since and started a double compartment shaft on one of their calms known as the "Galena." For several days past small pieces of copper stained rock were found in the shaft, but yesterday noon, when the miners went to clean up after shooting, they had opened up body of copper ore, the extent of which cannot yet be deter mined. The orc is an oxide and will assay over 30 per cent. The whole bot tom of the shaft is at present in the ore body and every shot continues to furth- CT open it up. The ore WAS struck at a depth of lGS feet,

Not only are these, but nearly every one in the camp is, as it means much to our future development and welfare. It gives en- to all who are developing their properties and will be the means of inducing further capital to take hold of claims in this district, of which there are several groups. These undeveloped claims lie in the same locality and have the same formation running through them, and adjoin these properties ill which ore bodies have recently been de. YeiOnpl

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochige Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbse, 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 BiSbee, and ad- joining tho property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company On the north. The latter company has been in operation TOT about twenty years, and employs about l,500 men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelteTs, and as result has produced copper to over 34,000,O ,OCO pounds during tEe year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been ever $2,00O,O0N, and it 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 1t in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- VelCp:nent.
 Is jt 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 eff 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 valu- able mines are local business men, well and favOrably known in BisDee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board O. 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 a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for a term Of oiIc year.
 The stock books Of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited nuinber Of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 1G0 shares will be ae- 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 cont received from the sale O. stock will be expended toward the de- velopment Of our property and the erection Of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise a success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize cur 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.

THE STATES FINANCES.
treasurer Humans Report shows n
Large BaIance


The annual report OF Treasurer
\. W. Hartman for the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1899, was made public yes
terday
II shows the finances of Virginia 10 be
in an exceedingly healthy condition. there
being in the Treasury to the credit Of
the state balance of SCo5.9i2l5. as COM
pared with a balance OF S23G.Sa.73 last
year, an increase OF $359.O6072
1t is pointed out, however. that there
is another side 10 the subject. and while
there is cause for congratulation IN the
excellent condition of the Treasury. it
should be borne in mind that the balance
Is not likely TO DO so large next year. For
Instance the operation of the delinquent
land act, alias the -grabbers law,
brought in a very large amount this
year the fund from this source covering
redemptions foT many years past. The
law VIII yield but little next year.
ln the second place, the report does
Dot have 20 show charge Of 5000

q neral Assembly.

estate. and the estate of another wealthy
Nirenian. caused the inheritance tax TO

for 1899. as against Sl4. 25S = last year. The
average Is about $4,000.
The figures yslich show such greatly
increased receipts from taxes on banks,
Insurance companies, charter fees, and
railroads. admit of no explanation which
VIII make them indicate anything save
remarkable activity in commercial pur-
suits.
The state has to meet an increase on
Der debt Of $4,000 per annum after July
]. 1901 and Il is believed she will have
little difficulty in doing So provided the
present General Assembly is judicious in
the matter OF making appropriations.
