MininrIn,.lHr.ne.-


 Harlan Bros have complsted their stamp mill on Pine creek and started it up yesterday.
 The mining property of the late Wm. D. Wilson, will be sold May 6, under order of the probate court
 The Bullion mining compssy has taken bond on Fred Rlefs Bor- desaX mine in Big Bug district and Eiti immediately commence work developing the property. The claim is located about two mtles southwest of the Polsno-Hamilton mine and as far As opened up looAs very prom ising.
 Geo. Rohpetsr has 30 tons of ore at the depot from hls Loos Pine mine. TWo car loads of orc shipped recently from the same property. netted him s6O2 and S63l respsc- tivsiy. The ore has all beon taken out in doing development on the property the vein of wi.ich ranges from eighteen inches to two feet wide.
 A mining man of Jerome who is in town at the present time aDd who has facilities for knowing whereof he speaks, says that the IOUzSAL- MrSEK's recent estimate Of the gross output of ths; mine is swsy below the actual 6gures- The sstimsts was from S5.0O00 1000 to SS0O0,0O ger year. Be states that at the present price of copper, the copper product alone Is over $I.000,000 . moath, the daily output being over 100 tone. or 100000 pounds. and the monthly output being 100000 pounds- The present price of copper being IS cents per pound it is sn easy matter to figure out the total value per month, sI 100000. AS the ors carries large values in gold and silver siso, he says a nearer estih ate of the annual output, taking the present price of copper as the basis, would be from S15,000O00 to SlS,- 0O0y0O0 annually. The ore represent ing this entire value is taken down by about forty miners, or probably less, the entire balance of Ihe force of g whole regiment of men on tbe pay rolls, being employed ID hand ling the ore, and the smeltsd pro- duct The JOURSAL-MNKR has re- peatedly claimed that the United Verde Is the greatest mining prop erty in the world and the above kg- ures will amply demonstrate the ! justness of the claim The narrow guage railroad between the mine and Jerome Junction on the s. F, F. & P. railroad IS taIed to its utmost capacity to handle the product of the mines and carry in supplies. machinery, coke, etc, and other needed articles iG the operation of the property.

The Limited b the Ditch.

The Santa Fe limited, which passed Ash Fork last Tuesday morn ing. was ditched at Pomona. Cali fornia. The Los Angeles Times gives the following version of 1t: The Santa Fe limited was dersiled by broken piston rod or side bar on the engine The baggage car is a mass of broken wood and iron and lies on its side with the end and top stove out. The dining car is nearly as badly wrecked, partly tilted on it's side and at least thirty feet to one side of the track from which it jumped All the other cars, save the rear coach, are separated from their tracks and have plowed canal four or i've feet deep and wider than be cars. Rails are scattered about and twisted and bent in all manner oi shapes, one being thrust through the floor of the car which vas next to the rear. The contents of the larder of tbe dining car consisting of dressed poultry, canvas backs, etc, are scat tered promiscuously.
 The wreck occurred opposite a siding, so that traffic is not inter. fered with.
 No one was killed and only three injuries are reported. Miller, a news boy or curio vendor, suffered a SC riOus sprain of the ankle, one bone being dislocated. Two Porters were also injured. one having badly sprained back and the other tWC broken ribs.

capital of the so called Filipino repub lie From the station one can see little of the town There are only an old mon astery and a few wooden buildings, with more native shacks in the town. At the station a score or so of the queer car romatos are lined up, and there is quits hustle among the native tzagelerS, beggars and loungers. Here some in- surgent soldiers go through the train to look for Spanisrds, and then we proceed. leaving behind Malolos stretched among the trees and ponds It is at MalolOs that the So called Filipino congress holds it's sessions and where Aguinaldo was declared president
 Nine or ten miles farther on we reach Calumpit, and in that interval we have crossed nine streams. all of considerable size. and just beyond Calumpit is the Rio Grande de la Pampanga, one of the largest rivers on Luzon island Here the stream is probably 900 yards wide A few miles beyond Calumpit the road leaves the stream and marshy lands be- hind. Drainage becomes much better, and the soil has the appearance of mex haustible fertility. Here palms and canefelds begin to succeed the ricefelds and the bamboo jungles
 San Fernando, ten miles beyond Ca lumpit. is said to contain population of so, 900. It is one of the finest places on the line, and contains car and engine houses. A pottery factory and sugar re- fnery are located here. There are also two convents Beyond San Fernando the mountains to the west come into view, and here one sees some fair pasture lands
 At Bomban the line has reached the mountains, and here one can enjoy fine hunting, for the woods abound with deer and wild boar. A few miles farther and in a direction opposite the noun tains there extends strip of thin for est, and the tree tops tower high above the underbrush. From this section much wood is shipped to Manila By this time we have entered the province of Tarlac, and here we see great stretches of uncultivated land. and much of it is covered with tall. coarse grass. Occasional cocoanut groves are seen along this part of the line, and the bamboo here almost disappears The town of Tarlsc is an important insur- gent seat. The remainder of the trip to Dagupin. some 40 miles, is through a level stretch of land containing cocoa nut groves, canefelds and ricefelds. and the only large town passed is Bay ambang, on the Agno river. The Eng fish firm of Smith, Bell & Co. of Manila have several rice mills at Baysmbang and Gerona- At Calasiao. the next sta 'tioH to Dagupin. are made the finest of the world famous Manila hats
 This rapid sketch of what can be seen by a few hours travel along the line of the Manila and Dagupin railroad can not present any comprehensive idea of the resources of the territory traversed In this natural garden spot phenome- nal agricultural development is certain to follow quickly upon the heels of a stable government Native labor IS cheap and quite efficient, in spite of all the i'll effects of Spanish rule, and new ideas are destined to work here in this and other parts of these islands won ders undreamed of heretofore

 Another feature Of the evenings entertainment, and one which pros ed very embarrassing 10 those engaged 10 if, was A hat trimming contest imposed on the men by the 'laiy mansgers.H Each man was given . lady's discarded hat, a bunch of rib- bous, a bunch or two of faded arti- 6cial flowers or "out of date feathers and a paper of pi8s, and then in- structed to exercise bis skill and in- genuity in punching these various articles harmoniously together. The men protested against being forced into competition with the milliners who depend on such work for their living, but no excuses were taken and they finally went to work know ing that it would cause a slump in the millinery business. After con- pleting the trimming act each trim mer had to put his grocuct on his head in proper form aud they were then all arranged in . row and their head gear inspected by a committee of ladies.
