EASTMONO NINE
Development OF Valuable pin5i
County Property.

Andrew Kozik came in Monday from
the Eastmond mine, which is situated
twenty-eight miles east of Florence at
Dagger Well.
The mine is a gold, silver and copper
property in which it is said the gold
value is the greatest of the threAmet-
ais at the present stage of develop
ment. The mine is bonded by T. D.
Kelly. who is developing as well, the
Rey de Reyes and several other prom
Using claims in the same section of
country. Mr.. Kozik is a practical
miner and has been employed at the
Eastmond for some time. The main
shaft is now down 100 feet and work has
stopped temporarily pending the con-
struction of a whim.
There are two drifts from the foot of
the shaft amounting to forty-five feet,
one running east and the other west.
In the east drift the ledge is constantly
widening as work proceeds and the
entire face of the west drift is in solid
sulphide ore. The foot wall has been
located here, but the hanging wall has
not been found and the width of the
vein is as yet unknown. The ore car
ries good values in'each of the three
Arizona republican., 1899-11-22

metals named and Mr. Kozik believes
the mine will prove a bonanza.
Mr.. Kelly has a number of men do
ing assessment work on other claims,
among them Joe Dobson, well known
in Phoenix. Mr.. Kelly seems to have
great faith in the mineral resources of
that district and is Systematically de
velOping his claims and spending his
money in the hope of future rewards.
Between DOnnely Well and Florence
there is a big mine being developed
from which Mr.. KOzik says there is a
constant shipment of copper ore.
Florence, he says, is booming and
the Pinal capital is taking or new life.
The town is full of people and no man
who can handle a drill needs to want
for a job. In fact, there is a scarcity
of good miners in that part of the ter
ritory, as elsewhere.

young men and the oyster stew will
again command the respect of youthful
society.
WANTED, MORE FLOATS.-There
are some good things that cannot be
overdone. One of them is the number
of floats to appear in the great car
nival'parade. Business men are grow
ing enthusiastic in the matter and
many have announced their intention
of having at least one float. while
some will have more. Every business
establishment in the city should be
represented in some manner. 1t is
early yet. but it takes time to pre-
pare an attractive float and prelmi
nary arrangements should be made at
once. Mr.. J. w. Benham will have
two floats as will. also, the Indian
school. Among the business men who
are already arranging for one or
more floats are: Ellicott Electric
company, Milton Bergman Mercantile
company, Capital Harness Shop, The
New Place. The Barley Commercial
company, S. T. Tribolet. Lawrence &
Clark Vehicle company, Walter Hill
Company. ]. W. Bolton, Capital Mills
and P. T. Hurley. The Woodmen, Elks
and Odd Fellows and perhaps other
secret societies of the city will have
floats, as well as joining in the parale
in a body.
AFTER MINES.-Baron Leo Won
Rosenberg of New York city was
among the incoming passengers on last
nights train from the north. He is reg
istered at the Hotel Adams and will
probably leave for the south on to-
nights train. He is a mining expert
by profession and is looking over Ari-
IONA properties in the interest of New
York and London capital. He spent the
summer tickling the festive glaciers of
British Columbia with an Alpine staff
and later turned over a goodly portion
of the mother lode in California,
searching for a gold mine that would
pass muster. Now that wintry blasts
whistle through the sere and yellow
leaves in the lands where mineral leads
grow and flourish only in the summer
time, he is turning his attention to this
world-famed region of perpetual sun
shine, where scenes of emerald YER
dure greet the eye and if one wants
wealth all he has to do, is to dig
for it. It's there. and the baron has
come after it. He has been looking
over some Yavapai mines and will next
turn his attention to Pima county. He
is not an entire stranger in the city, as
he has visited Phoenix before as well
as all the principal mining districts of
the west. Though the reportorial auger
was newly FURNISHED and faithfully
twisted, results of a material, relevant
and explicit nature were not=~forth-
coming, but indulging in generalities,
the baron was enthusiastic and COM
plimentary to a degree, when seduc-
lively enticed along the pathway of the
territory's mineral resources.

POWERS OF LIQUID AIR.

The wonderful powers of refriger-
alton possessed by liquid air were
illustrated in a New street restaurant,
New York on Wednesday afternoon,
to a group of interested brokers and
newspaper men. Two gallons of the
lis.uid air were brought into the res
taurant. Basins were filled with it,
and in liquid that appeared to be
boiling furiously pieces of ham were
frozen so quickly that they could
afterwards be broken in the hand like
so much chalk. They were frozen SC
hard that they became brittle.
Liquid air was poured into straw
hats, and they became so cold that il
was unsafe to put them on the head
for some time. A number of curious
experiments were made and extraor
binary results achieved.
Whatever else may be the future o
this new agent of man, one thing il
clear, it is destined to revolutioniz,
all our methods of refrigeration
There seems to be no reason why il
time it should not do away entirel,
with the ice man.
Now that Ostergren, the Swedish
inventor, has shown that liquid al
can be produced at a cost of to
cents a gallon, why could there not b
a system of delivery of liquid air t
households, like milk, and each fam
lily manufacture its own ice as it
needs require?

ANOTHER PIANO NUISANCE.

Henry G. Rocker, of New Jersey, is
man who should be suppressed by
the strong hand of the law. 1t does not
follow from this, as some might rashly
suppose, that he is engaged in promot-
ing those trusts for which New Jersey
has become notorious. What he pro-
poses is far more of public nuisance
than a trust could ever be.
He claims to be the champion piano
player of that State in point of endur-
ance. His manager announces that he
twill place Mr.. Rocker against any
living pianist by playing the piano
from 10 to &c hours straight playing,
the playing to be done in Now York or
Brooklyn, or any other locality the ac-
ceptor of the challenge may choose.
Mr.. Rocker does not propose to con-
fine himself to twO-steps or rag-time,
but will play the classical sonatos and
other works of the old masters, and
boasts that he can play them faster and
longer than any other man. To carry
out his absurd proposition he an
nounces that he will be paced by a
hurdy gurdy.
The piano already has much to ac.
count for. 1t occupies a precarious
position in the community at best. II
has driven good paying tenants out OF
flats. 1t has superinduced nervous
prostration in some instances. 1t has
reduced rents in otherwise unexcep,
tionable neighborhoods. 1t has or
some occasions come near provoking
public disorder, but never has it been
proposed seriously before to utilize
this instrument in q manner which
may endanger the lives of the two per
formers or incite a riot YOnker's

Smyrna times., 1899-08-02

Thousands within five years have
often said, perhaps, after all, Inger-
soil may be right?" And he was
not backward to take advantage
of the situation. Therein he was
logical; for if what Christ spe-
officially endorsed is to be ac-
counted false-whether because of in
ternal of external reasons-then what
Christ asserted is to be considered
true or false according to the individ-
ual judgement of the reader.
For those, therefore, who accept
teachings which imply that Christ was
fallible, wherein He obviously thought
that He was infallible, there is no
evidence sufficient to prove that He is
anything more than a man.
Hence it behooves the Church to
consider whether, for some time to
come, the spirit, not of Ingersoll, but
of Ingersollism, may not be factor
to be reckOned with. Christian Ad-
COcGte.
