 Courier: Friday last the H. w. Clifford people started work upon tunpel on the Mammoth mine, which tunnel will run 300 feet under the sur face of the Belcher, of which mine the Mammoth is an extension. Work was started on the ledge and will probably be kept up in ore the entire distance. The Belcher is mine with a splendid history, as can be seen by looking over it: it's surface is torn up by about 800 feet of open cuts about 50 feet deep. from which free milling gold ore which averaged S30 ton was taken. The ledge ranges from two to twelve feet in width. Mining men have long predicted that the Belcher and it's immediate extensions afforded remarkable opportunity for being developed into bonanzas.

MINING TE w-.

Arizona Blade: Judge John Miller is engaged in taking out carload of ore for shipment, from his gold mine, situated on the river. about eighteen miles east of Florence. A sample or the ore, sent to Fl Paso, showed value of Sl00 per ton. This property would be good proposition for com pany.
 Tempe News: Boon Lewis came in from his Cave Creek mine last night. He is greatly elated ove' strike which has just been made on the TO- foot level of his mine The new vein is over two feet wide and will run al- most fifty per cent copper Sinking on the new strike shows that the vein wdens as 1t goes down. MT. Lewis will soon be ready to make another shipment of ore to the El Paso shelter.
 Courier: Charles II. Gibson, very thorough mining expert, who has had years of experience, covering operations in Africa, South America, Central America and all over the mining regions of the United States, has accepted a position with the big company operating cn the Colorado river. which has two twenty-stamp mills in operation MT. Gibson will leave for tha point tomorrow,
 Yuma Sun: The recent discovery of gigantic ledge of gold and copper ore in the mountains eighteen miles north of Agua Caliente, in which Bob Anderson, Win Despair, Harry Mo- Phaul and others are interested. is at tracing great deal of attention. Scores of prospectofs are going to the district and hundreds of claims have already been located. Assays from the outcroppings show value of SiO per ton, which is high enough to ad- init the shipping of ore at a good profit, as the find is only thirty miles from the railroad and eighteen miles from the Gila river
 Journal Miner: N c. Shekels came in from Los Angeles yesterday. It is his first visit here since last July and he says he is glad to be back in Ari- zona again MT Shekels has large mining interests in this section and it will be no surprise to see him again soon at the head of some large com pany developing poOd property. Mr. Shekels has been eminently success full in all of his mining undertakings and notably in that of the Crowned King which paid nearly $250,0O0 in dividends during hls management of it.
 Citizen: H. Harrison has lately re- turned fir nm the Tres Amigos mines in Orc Blanco district. The said mines are owned by B. MacMasters x Champion, who are developing their property. The claims pay from the grass roots and are increasing in rich. ness as they sink deeper. They have struck $40 ore at l35-foot level. They have run out 100 feet on the level and the quality of the ore continues the same. On the 200-foot level the ore is of still higher grade. It is MT. liar. rison's opinion that in three months more under the present management and force at work, the mine will show up SI, 100000 worth of ore. They have a 2-stamp mill and a l0-ton cyanide plant in operation running for the past five months, which has paid all

There are few people in the heart OF
London who keep bees. but the Baden
Powells stand absolutely alone In hav-
ing an apiary in their drawing room.
Baden-Powell, 1t will be remembered,
has distinguished himself in many
ways in the present South African
war. In the Baden-Powells' drawing
room, surrounded by costly works of
art and priceless bric-a-brac, standing
on ornamental alabaster pedestals
close to a great organ which takes up
all one wall of a lofty room overlook
ing Hyde Park, are two large straw
beehives, with glass windows that al
low the bees to be seen at work within.
OF course the Lees do not fly about
the room, but they escape into the
Outside world through a pipe leading
out Of a window. These bees are truly
wonderful insects-the a%ristocracy Of
their kind, and they are made to do
much work which bees, uncontrolled
by such an ingenious mind as that of
Col. Baden-Powell, have neve dream
ed OF. Wooden vessels Of various OBJ
1ects. such as a bicycle, for instance,
are placed In their hive, and the bees
build their honeycomb upon them in
the exact shape required. At the pres
ent time they are busy building a wax
model Of the colonel's bombproof
quarters at Mafeking.

Where baby shall sleep from the
very first day Of his appearance is a
subject upon which far too little
thought is usually expended. The
mother usually either lays him on the
bed next to her or else upon a pillow
which rests upon two chairs beside the
mothers bed.
Both OF these places for baby's sleep
are Objectionable. In the FIRST place,
no baby should lie under the same
covers as the mother. Not only is she
apt to turn upon him, and thus injure
him unawares, but If he be a nursing
baby he will Don acquire the habit of
demanding food at frequent intervals
the night through. The pillow is as
bad. 1t is altogether too soft to up
port the weak LILLE back, and 1t does
not admit OF babys being tucked in as
snugly as desirable when he first APP

In the carriage. This would do at a

For the Reautr-sseker.

many or the most fascinating women
of history have been without a single
beauty of feature. Therefore, their
attraction must have depended on ex-
preston, either Unborn or acquired.
Its subtleties depend as much on tenn
permanent as on education. A perfect
ly irregular face is sometimes mag
netic by reason of it's animation and
earnestness. Irregularity of that kind
is preferable to q beautiful and immo-
pile countenance that smiles perpetu-
ally like an everlasting blue sky.
There Is only a hairline between re-
pose and stagnation and one is as
pleasing as the other is dull. 1t is the
quality, rather than the quantity of
the mind that affects expression. Ex-
cesslVe brain work is detrimental-it
strains and comforts the features.
tightens the lips, wrinkles the fore
head and dulls the eyes, but on the
other hand where beauty is absent a
certain amount of brain work will
d 1t to the face, for the eyes gain
depth and earnestness, the nose be-
comes determined, and the shapeless
lips and jaws grow powerful. Express
sion to be really beautiful must cor
respond with and enhance the indi-
~viduality already expressed. Violent
temper renders the eyes dry and star
Ing, making them devoid of that clear
serenity which is so charming. Con-
centrated thought and pessimism, jeal-
ousy or discomfort, deprive the mouth
of its mobility and compress the lips
to a thin line in time. Cynicism has
a lasting effect on the corners of the
mouth. No matter how ugly a face is
It may come to possess rugged grand
eur and homely sweetness, but neithery
OF these is to be obtained by those who
frivol, vacillate or have no apprecia- ?
ton for the higher things Of life and ,
the larger emotions. A petty express |
sion, a poor mind, and a shallow heart
cannot aid to the expression of a face. |

low alone. Some mothers use the crib
right from the beginning. This, Of
course, is all right, but it is not so de-
sirable at the outset, as 1t is a triie too
large to allow of the close tucking
spoken of, and as it gives nc sort of
support to the weak frame.
Nothing can be found that is better
for all round purposes than the willow
bassinet. This comes in several sizes,
is very light, and rests upon a small
stand, from which it can be lifted at

light and portable, and therefore con-
venient to. carry the baby about in
without disturbing him.
For the mother who feels that she
cannot afford to pay Sc or 81 for a
b%asinet, the clothesbasket is recon-
mended as an excellent substitute. But
care should be had in selecting it to
get one with sides not too high, and, if
possible, with sides of very open weav-
ing. II this is not practicable, the
