" Twas But a JOSH"

To the Editor of the MoHAvE COUNTY
MINER, Kingman, Ariz: l infer from
the tone of the article in your valuable
paper which found on my desk on
my return from the east that it's editor
is inclined to take my letter to the
Columbus Post quite seriously, and,
judging from the verses he emits, l
take it he is not as willing to accord to
me the same privilege of "A Josh" as
he does to the writer of the verses of
twenty years ago, which l enclosed to
the Post.
Mark Twain once said that the rea-
son he quit delivering lectures was be-
cause his audiences were unable to dis
tinguish his ''irony" from mis- "real
earnest" and see in appearing before
the public either in prose or verse am
likely to encounter the same difficulty.
So, Mr.. MoHAvE COUNTY MINER, let's
make up, and when | see you again l
will take drink of alkali water with
you, and you may call on me any time
you wish and | will do anything | can
in the interest of Arizona. l will label
the enclosed lines "A JOSH" and quiet
ly retire from the stage.
Yours Truly,

There stood at the gate by the Golden Dome,

A party of eastern capitalists today
secured an option on five good mining
claims in the Cochiti district. The OPP
tion will not expire until the 2lst day
of December, and if the mines prove
satisfactory to the parties they will
purchase them for 5000. The claims
are quite well and favorably known to
the mining experts of the southwest.
They are the Good Hope, Hopewell

insisted on paying him what they
owed him. One wiped out debt of

A Big Transaction.

At Tucson Saturday, according 10
the Star, James B. Seager and wire
transferred the Helvetia group OF
mines to the Helvetia Mining Company,
the two deeds transferring the proper
ty, one for 4,499,OOOs and the other Tor
l,OOOs, had 5,OOOs worth of revenue
stamps attached to them, substan-
tial contribution towards defraying
Uncle Sans war expenses.
Mr.. Seager is one of the principal
stockholders in the Helvetia mining
company, and there will be no change
in the management of the property.
The Helvetia group was purchased
from Edward Hughes, Phil. McGovern
and Charles Lavery, and originally
comprised twenty-seven claims, but
adjacent copper land has been secured
until the company now own 5000 acres
of land, nearly all of which contains
good copper ore.
The development of the property is
being carried on as fast as men and
money can do it, On or about Nov. lst
the big smelter will be completed, and
then then the present force of about
300 men will be largely increased.
A London dispatch of October 4th
says: The sensational news from
Gath A af,;,, thi, manning il tho rpit-
Grafton of yesterdays report of the ac-
ouisition by the Transvaal authorities
of 5OO,OOOE in gold which was on
the way to Capetown from Johannes
berg. Confirmation comes from two
sources. The Cape Argus asserts the
Beers made the siezure at Vereeningen,
the amount being the weeks shipment
of gold on the way from Rand to Cape
town and forwarded the treasure to
Pretoria The report is also confirmed
by a cablegram received today by
mining company in London from their
representative which is to the effect
that the train upon which he was trav-
elling from johannesburg to Capetown
was held up and looted by the Beers
who secured E30O,000 in gold,
this amount being considerably less
than the original estimate. There is
nothing tangible in today's war news,
but the situation remains as strained
as ever.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The stock mar
ket opened active and showing irregular
changes. There were noteworthy declines
in the London market for American stocks
and the general weakness there was re-
ported owing TO apprehensions OF an out
break of hostilities in South Africa. Lon
don houses were sellers at the opening of
internationally listed stocks. Aside from
the influence derived from the disposition
OF foreign market there was some uneasi-
ness in regard to the monetary situation,
owing TO the slight advance made in the
rates on call yesterday.
There was nothing otherwise apart from
the favorable reports of a number of rail-
roads that engaged attention. The local
traction stocks were fairly strong and ac-
tive and slight advances were noted in
Northern Pacific Southern Railway, pre-
ferred, the Hooking Valley issues, and
Continental Tobacco. On the other hand,
the AtchisCn shares, the grangers and
Southern Pacific were all heavy. American
Steel and Wire had sharp advance on the

GENERAL SYPHER FOUND.
He Is Supposed to Have Become Dis
abIed While Hunting.

Mrs. George C. Hewett. of 1885 Kenesaw
Avenue northwest, said this morning that
she had not heard directly from Aurora
W. Va, but that she had been informed
that her father, Gen. J. Hale Sypher, who
was lost in the woods near Aurora, had
been found and she believed that the re-
port was true.
According to telegraphic reports from
Oakland, Md, Gen. Sypher had'gone hunt
ing with friend in the woods near Auro-
ra Saturday afternoon, but that they had
separated and the friend returned later.
Aurora is an isolated spot and Mrs. Hewett
says she has been unable to get an answer
to kilograms she has sent.
81 think my father must have fallen and
injured his knee while hunting and had to
wait until assistance came to him. said
Mrs. Hewett to a Times reporter today.
"He suffered from an old wound in the
knee received during the civil war and
when this knee fails him he becomes quite
helpless. l am confident, however, that he
has been found. l am expecting letter
almost any hour telling me that he is
safe"
