Narrow Escape.
In his book, "The Crimea Of 1854"
Sir Evelyn Wood, v. c., relates the fol-
lowing anecdote: 81 was making for
a place where the parapet had been
worn down by men running over it, in
order to avoid the exertion of mount
ing up even four feet, when a young
soldier passed me on my left side, and.
doubtless, not noticing 1 was wounded,
knocked my arm heavily, saying, Move
on, sir, please AS he passed over the
parapet with his rifle at the trail, l
caught it by the small of the butt to
pull myself up. He turned round an
grily, asking, What are you doing?'
And while his face was bent on mine,
roundshot, passing my ear, struck
him full between the shoulders, and I
stepped over his body, so exhausted as
to be strangely Indifferent to the pres
ervation of my own life, saved by the
soldier having jostled me out of my
turn at the gaI."

marched . company Of 40 armed ma

tries, 40 in number, back Of tho Mon

interviewing his superior officer. Con-
sequently the Filipino captain was
summoned and he was also found to be
excited. As result of tho conference
he admitted that the Filipino lisuten-
ant had exceeded his authority. His
men were drawn in line, saluted,
courtesies were exchanged and the Fill
ipinos retired The incident is sig
nifcant as it shows the tendency of the
Filipinos to disregard pickets, know

to commence hostilities, and it also
demonstrates the danger of irresponsi-

The Spanish Belt Country.

Owen Smith, an old prospector
and mine owner in this section,
arrived in town on Tuesday last from
the Spanish Belt country where he
reports things in that section of the
country are about the same as they
are hereabouts.
The mines in that district are all
silver and lead blu, as they are fur
Their from the railroad than we, the
sumo conditions prevail there as do
here. Some veins there, mostly
small, go as high as 5000 ounces in
silver and very high in lead. but
being SO far from rail, they will not
pay to work at present.
The above named district is about
40 miles northeast of new mining
district that has just been discover
ed in Nye county called the New
Klondikr. This camp is located
about the same distance from the
terminus of the G. h g. Railroad al
the former camp but has one more
disadvantage. the lack of water TO,
milling purposes, although they
have struck water at depth of n
feet.
| From all reports this will be
good country in the near future.

A GOOD OUTLOOK.
Valuable Copper Mining Promises to
Develop Near Phoebe.

The bonding OF the Copper King
property last week to j. b. McGee
is matter of greater interest to Pho
che and vicinity than is generally
supposed. Copper mining in this
vicinity has never been followed I'M
til within the past few years and then
only at Bristol, where comparatively
s,uall seams of high grade copper
ore have always been encountered
ia mining for silver.
big low grade proposition has
not been wanted nor looked for.
With the possibilities of a railroad
however this is changed. We nave
tie mineral belt hereabouts and
there is no good reason why large
low grade mines should not be
found.
Bristol district is in a lime forma-
ton. A heavy granite belt lies
some miles to the south of it. 1t
contains copper lodges of immense
size which have been worked but
little until the past season and the
region promises to become one OF
the great copper producers of the
State.
The fifty foot shaft and cross cuts
on the Copper King claim disclose
an immense vein of copper ore
pyrites aud carbonates, with some
silver and gold. Lower grade ore
than this is worked proftably IL
other sections
People hereabout have been we'd
ded to limestone and quartz forma
tons because the early bonanza'
were found in such, but when we Sc,

conda and others in Montana, IL

fields of mining wealth of this count.
has been overlooked.
Lying as the section does, north
west of Phoebe some IA miles it add
another to the numrous possibilitie
when rail facilities shall make it pro
fitable to mine such ores.
This is not far distant, and thu
grade of the road through Bristo
Pass is within about five miles o
the claims. Timber is abundan
water can be had within few mile
and the ores are such that smelling
operations can be carried on there
abouts, with as little expense as any
where in this section.

TO DETECT GOLD,
A New and Simple Method Discover
ed,

A new method Of detecting the
presence of gold has been recently
discovered by DR. Ohler. BY this
method the presence of quantities
as low as n centigrammes per ton
may be established. The operation
is as follows: quantity of finely
powdered ore, say 100 grammes, is
introduced into flask. To this an
equal volume of tincture of iodine is
added, and the mixture we'll agitated
1t is then left for an hour, agitating
from time to time, and is finally al
lowed to stand, When the solution
has separated, band of filter paper
is saturated with this, and the paper
allowed to dry. This operation is
repeated five or six times in success
sion in order to completely saturate
the paper, 1t is afterward calcined,
and it will be observed that the ash
when gold is present offers purple
color. This color should disappear
quickly if the ash is noise with
bromine water.
The test may be modified in the
following manner: A quantity OF
the powder, 100 grammes,is covered
with bromine water, and aft er agit
ating during the course of an hour
/ the solution is filtered. Upon adding,
proto- chloaide of tin to the solutio n
it takes purple color, in the pre-
sence of gold, giving the reaction
known Nc Pnrple of Cassius. In
the case of sulphides this ore should
be previously roasted. and when the
mineral contains considerable pro-
portion of carbonate OF lime, il
should be calcined in the presence Of
ammonium carbonate. Scientific

Arizona people believe that the CEN
sus of 1900 will show a sufficient popu-
Iation TO warrant the admission of the
territory to the union. Arizona had
$500 inhabitants in 1890, and the claim
is made that the territory has doubled
in population since then. Increased
activity in mining and the development
of copper and gold mines is respon-
sible for the increase. Yet, even if
Arizona should have as many as 12o,-
GEO inhabitants next year, il would still
lack $1,000 Of the ratio of representa-
ton adopted in 1898. New Mexico,
which is yet territory, has more than
twice as marv inhabitants as Arizona.
