HIS STORY.

He stccd before the police judge a wreck. He suggested an echo of better times. He had been arreste ed the night before for sleeping in an open doorway
 The judge saw that the prisoner had not always been a tramp, and ques- tioncd him with regard to his past.
 Well, your honor, it was this way the man said quietly. T haven't al ways been as you see me now. I was a stock broker once When 1 was a younger man 1 became interested in copper. Copper is usually solid, yoI know. Well. 1 made a little pile, then shifted to iron. Iron i@ hard to han dle, and l lest. I withdrew from spec ulation for time, but the old fascina- ti0n drew me again into the mael- strOm. 1 took a flyer in some glitter ing mining stock. but it was a loser. said 1 would try again. ] bought q little train of different railway stocks, but I didn't tie to it long enough. and went nearly broke. Then 1 showed all Of my remaining fortune into pork. It turned out that pork was on the hog, and here 1 am.'
 The judge had listened to the story and at it's conclusion dis the prisoner. Have you any nloney?" he inquired, as the man turned to leave the courtroom.
 No. sir" was the reply; I'm a broker now than I ever was. ."-Chica- go Democrat.

ANOTHER GOOD SALE.

The Prescott Courier chronicles an other mining sale in the great Yavapai mineral belt. While no very large amount of money changed hands, the sum was considerable, considering the small amount of development work CT Dhe properties transferred. The sale was of the Estella, Mark Smith. Mary Ann and 96 mines, extensions Of NJ. s. Taft's famous Sterling mine. The properties were owned by J. J Brooks who sold them to Chicago and Boston parties for $10,000, to be paid within 90 days in three different payments
 Mir. Brooks was notified by telegraph that the purchase of the properties had been decided upon and he prompt ly closed the deal. One Of the end lines of this group is not over three hundred feet from the shaft Of the Sterling mine from which MT Taft is taking out such rich ere. Of course, the development and showing made on the Sterling helped along the sale of these most promising prospects, which show ledge 21a feet wide on the sur face croppings. Mir Brooks, is 9 prac- tical mining man and one w1o has commanded high salaries as manager of mining properties. He came to Ari- zcna in the employ of the Hearst es~ tate, but was too ambitious to keen under salary in mining section of such grand possibilities, and he has since been using his knowledge of mines for his own benefit and that of the country. He is interested in other promising properties. He has just sod to a party of Pasadena mining m1n Gvc-s.3mp mill and is putting I'D the mill for them on an extension Of tho Dividend mine. Chap arral. There is enough orc in sight in this mine to run the mill fer year. The ore is free milling and ranges in value from $14 to $24 per ton gold.

The finding of wo.framite in this county through the Arizona School of Mines, has opened another door to our rich minsral resurces, says ths Star The value of th:s CIe seems to be but little known especially in cur mining region. The Following paper read by A. c. Ross C. B., before the Mineral society of Nova Scotia will be of interest:
 There is very little literature on the occurrence of this metal. It is found in on ore known as wclframite and usual ly associated with tin, as for instance
 the tin mines of Cornwall. A deposit of it was discovered last fall at North east Margaree, C. B., in a ravine be- tween and near the base of two noun tains that attain an elevation of about 500 feet The metal is in 6 Assure vein having red granite walls. The lead where first discovered in places was about two feet thick, dipping at an angle of 70 degree. It has been traced across the ravine for ever 200 feet into the mountains. Some develop
 nent work has already been done by driving tunnels into the mountains on the lead. This development shows thar the lead takes the form of barrel shapes and lenses. and in some places splits into two veins, one on each wal. The first blCck of quartz taken out of the lead at the point of discovery measured 2x31a feet, and contained up wards Of one-half ton of ore, which gave 20 per cent of metal, samples of which assayed 6S per cent of tungstic acid. Since then very little metal has been found in the ore. The uses of this metal are numerous. It Is especially valuable as an alloy for steel, and is useful in the manufacture of tool steel, armor plates, guns and prcjectiles. cn account of it's hardening. tcughening and seif-tempering quail ties. It has been found to be almost impossible to get uniform temper in the manufacture Of large guns with the ordinary alloy used with steel. In the recent war between the United States and Spain the large guns were found to be practically useless after firing from 60 to 100 times The chambers, not being Of a uniform hardness, be- came scored 4 small per cent of tungsten as an alloy will give the uni form hardness and temper required to any mass of steel.
