Wolfram Ore.

The following from the New York Engineering and Mining Journal, gives information concerning the use and market of Wolfram ore:
 What is the price of wolfram; what are the uses; where is there a market for the ore, and where is il produced in the United States p F.. R.
 Answer:-We have received a num- Der of inquiries regarding tungsten recently. A full account of its ores, etc, may be found in the Vols. II and VII of the Mineral Industry" 1" Briefly, We will say that tungsten is used chiefly to make ferro-tungsten for the manufacture of tungsten steel. One of the salts, calcium tungstate. from its tluorescene, is used in Roent- gen ray apparatus. The manufac- turerS of ferrO-tungsten in the United States are the Chrome Steel company, of Brooklyn, x. r.: Stein.& Boerickle. of Philadelphia; and Ash X Deninger, of Phoenixyille, Pa. The production of ore in this country last year was 7S.S long tons.
 There is also a market abroad, but any considerable increase in the amount of ore offered would un- doubtedly lower prices decidedly. The value of tungsten ore is deter mined by the tungStic acid and the freedom from sulphur and phosphorus. so varies widely, while the price nuc- tuates according to demand. The ore is found in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Nevada and Connecticut.

A rlineral Contest,

Notice has just been received at the Prescott land office from the general land office at Washington advising the local officers of the decision rendered by the register and receiver in the mineral contest of William Munds ct al vs. G. W. Hull, has been affirmed by the commissioner. The Journal Miner says that the contest involved the Copper Chief, Nos. 6, and l9 min ing claims, near Jerome. The claim ant, G. W. Hull, applied for . patent to the group. Before going to final entry protest was filed against the issuance of patent on the ground that the land was non-mineral in character and that a sufficient amount of work had not been performed on the claims to permit of a patent under mineral entry.
 The hearing in the case in the land office occupied about a week, the teS- timony being very voluminous and rather conflicting. The register and receiver decided the case in favor of the claimant, MT. Hull, finding that the ground was mineral in character and that the required amount of work had been done to secure patent. The decision of the honorable commis- sioner affirming ihis decision will per init the issuance of patent to the claims forthwith.

STRINGS TO THE DEAL.
The Cobre Grande Wrapped Up in Endless Litigation.

The Cobre Grande Copper company, with holdings in Sonora, Mexico, and which started out so auspiciously. has prospect now of becoming entangled in endless litigation. The announce ment was recently made that J. II. Costello, of New York, had secured control of twO-thirdS of the stock of the company. Ii now seems that there was a string attached to it. The Je- rome News gives the following version of the transaction: George Mitchell first secured a bond on the mine for q certain sum. He then organized the Cobre Grande company and proceeded to the development of the claim. In this work the company naturally got into debt before returns could be ey- pected. It is said they owed their employees, many of whom were Mex jeans, somewhere in the neighbOrhood of Sl0,000. Needing the money and fearing the result if matters were de- layed, Mir. Mitchell and the other stockholders agreed with Mr. Costello that they would put shares of the com pany'S stock, amounting to more than controlling interest, in the Phoenix National bank in escrow. to be taken out in three different installmentS on the deposit of s2.50 per share. MT. Costello for his part was tO assume the indebtedness of the mine to the laborers. The stock was placed in escrow and Mir. Costello raised Sl0,- GOO and paid of the MeXicans. He then went to New York and arranged for the sale of sufficient number of shares at greatly advanced price to pay of the Sl0,000 indebtedness he had assumed and Stilfretain controll- ing interest in the mine, which cost him practically nothing. Meanwhile Mitchell and associates secured suf- ticient money to pay of the original indebtedness and, as above noted, have notified the bank that they have withdrawn their shares from the pool in the agreement with MT. Costello. It may lead to litigation in which some nice legal points will be brought out"

If he fails in one claim he hopes to strike it rich in the next. It is this hope that buOys him above despon- dency. Those in whom the organ or element of hope is deficient never make miners. They never can face the second disappointment, and throw up the sponge after the first. The hopeful miner is the one who makes money, if his stakes happen to be set in the right place. But make or break, he is always ready and eager to take another shy" at fortune.
 Not long ago the report came down from the klondike country that Alex Mcdonald, who was few months ago rated as a multi-millionaire, was insol- vent, in other words, ''dead-broke. y There may be no foundation in fact for the story, but true or false, it was well known that Big Alex, as he was known around Dawson City, was a pretty swift man. It is said of him that when he went to London last winter he took s3OO,OO0 along for pin money. At that time his wealth was estimated at sl0, 900. He married, it is said, charming young lady and returned tO Dawson short on clSh. His partners, who are his lifelong friends, do not believe that he is insol- vent, but they have received adyices to hurry to Dawson. Should the re- port be true that country has seen the ris, of a common miner to d multi millionaire, and his fall to ''dead broke" pick singer, all in the short space of twenty months-a case of money coming and going easily. A miser would have held to the millions, but a miser would have never made them.

still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has just unearthed an other band of counterfeiters in suburb of New York city, and secured large quantity of bogus S5 bills, which are so cleverly execut- ed that the average person would never sus- pect them Of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation notably the celebrated Hostet- ters Stomach Bitters which has many imita- tors but no equals for common disorders like fever, ague malaria indigestion. dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach. and when the stomach is in good working or der it makes good blood and plenty of 1t. In this manner the Bltters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated.

AN EVELESS EDEN.
A Utah Town that has no Women and
 Will not Permit Them to Enter.

Utah is returning to Edenic condi- tions. II has town which no woman may enter, says the New York Journal. The town is Sunnyside, new coal camp in Whitmore canyon, near Price, Utah. Robert Forester. the manager of the properties and superintendent in charge, has issued an edict against women.
 There are $50 men employed in the mines at Sumyside. Most of them are married, but they are not only not al- lowed to bring their wives to live at Sunnyside, but their better halves may not visit them there. If the married man wants to visit his family he must take "a day off at his own expense. His wages are ''docked" in punishment of this ,olsh show of sentiment. As a consequence q few of the men have forsaken their jobs in spite of the rigors of hard times.
 MT. Forester, who proclaimed the severe cdict, is not woman hater. He declares that he is a feryent admir- CT of the sex. He proudly claims the distinction of being a ladies man.
 The reason for the order which was issued recently forbidding women to live in, or even visit the camp, is a sor- did business one. There are 2,500 acres of coal lands to which the company owning the Sunnyside mines has not yet secured a perfect title. Were the men permitted to bring their wives upon the lands, and, by even an occa- sional visit from them, give color to the claim that their cabins in the coal lands were their homes there might arise question of title. In this case if the men were interruptions and so willed they might force the company to buy out their rights. Hence the ungallant proclamation of the prudent Mir Forester.

COME EASY, 60 EASY,
The Hopeful Miner Succeeds and
 "Lets Loose" Like a Lord.

Men who get money easy, and with out mental or physical wear or fricton, ao not seem to place that value upon it which others do who have gained theirs by hard knocks and persistent labor, says the Western Mining World. As a rule miners are not miserly, nor do they hold on to their earnings with that tenacity which distinguishes the close listed. They are willing to give their money chance to double itself where they can do so without cramping themselves or jeOpardizing the comfort of those depending upon them. This was particularly the case with the early day placer miners who cleaned up their rockers and sluices for the ounces mot the dollars in them.
 Many of the old-time miners could not stand prosperity. Some who were rich one day would be prospecting for a stake the next day. Many could not or would not go to work on Monday morning if they had a dollar or two of their Saturday afternoons cleanup. A few would salt" away their earn ings till they had enough to join the old folks at home, or to marry the "girl they left behind them." But they were few who did this. They formed the exception to the rule that the old-time placer miner was a spend- thrift when he had money, but at all times free-hearted comrade and a 'hail fellow well met" The under ground miners of today, those who have families and children to educate and provide for, are not built upon the lines which measured the early day placer miners. They are generally sober, steady and hardworking, knowing just what their check will amount to at the end of the month and what they must do with it. Life to them is serious business and all it's problems have been, with the aid of their good wives, pretty correctly, if not satisfactorily solved.
 Probably no class of people in the world is more hopeful than the miner.

THE WIZARDS WORK.
VIII Rob Mother Earth of Her Vast
 Treasure.

Treasure.
 Thos. A. Edison, ''the wizard, pro- noses to work wonders from the sands an I dirt of New Mexico. \ New York dispatch of recent date says: Hidden In the waste lands of the southwest are tons upon tons of gold Up to the present time this gold has had no value to man. Mines could not be worked in that region without water, and the cost of getting dollars worthof god fro n this land by former methods would have exceeded the value of the metal. Thos. A. Edison, however, comes to the front now with an electric apparatus which promises to clear up the problem of how to get this val uable ore from the sands oi New Mexico and other sOthwestern states and territories. Speaking of his inven- bion Mir. Edison said:
 "This certainly is the biggest thing lever invented this process of cxtract- Ing gold from sand. Near santa Fe, New Mexico. tn ,re is a rss ion of loo square miles, containing goli worth SSQO,OO ,OOC. that would have remained there had this process not been dis covered.
 ''That gold will be taken out and added to the worlds supply. There are large gold deposits elsewhere that this process also will make available.
 ''I am the patentee of the process. but my only interest in the corpora tion, which is called the 'Calestro Com pany, is my employment as its expert. expect to go to New Mexico with the machinery, and to superin- tend the plant. We shall begin work almost at once.
 At the start we shall produce $l0,- 900 worth of gold every day. There is $500, 100000 worth of it there. The electric machinery will take it directly from the sand. There will be no trans portation of the ore. We shall handle it all on the spot and merely ship the pure gold.
 My process has solved the problem of gold mining without water. It has been tested and found to fulfill all re- Quirements. The gold ore in some places is not more than three feet be- low the surface, and it extends down ward in some localities for 100 feet before bedrock is found"
 Mir. Edison has done little for two years beside perfecting his gold ex- tractor. So secretly did the work pro eeed that no information concerning what he was doing leaked out until MT. Edison announced the completion of his work.
 Mr. Edison'S system of gold eXtrac- tion by electricity is somewhat similar to that which he uses at Edison, N. J., in getting iron from the river ore-by magnetism. I is in the handling of the gold powder that this process consists, although in erecting his plant larger ore crushers are required. There are three sets of magnets twelve inch, eight inch and four inch and the crushed ore falls in front of each kind of magnet in succession as the sand goes through receptacleS provided for them. When it has passed through the entire process the resulting material carries a percentage of the gold. MT. Edison declared today that this is his greatest piece of work since he came before the public notice,

 Course This Season.
 Quite large assemblage of cultured people thronged Warner hall last even ing and witnessed Frederick H. Tib- betts' presentation of Virginius. MT. Tibbetts was accorded flattering rs- ception. His acting of the play, in which he accurately took twelve parts a s need be, without flaw of any kind faithfully acting the characters ot the Roman citizen and statesman, the sol- dier, the Roman tyrant and Vlrglnla, the young and artless maiden. was all most perfection and showed the closest study and keenest perception on his part.
 The play was the tirst Of series Of winter entertainments which are to- be given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The action of the piece was most interesting and suffered none in MT. Tibbetts' hands He brought his hear CTS through the events of the play with marvellous rapidity, and then, almost before one was aware of it, came the climax At the close the actor was ap- plauded roundly.
