 representing Boston capitalists. was
 in the city yesterday, en route from
 Ash Peak to Solomonville. At Ash
 Peak he bought the interests of Jas.
 T. Tong and Clark Rodgers in their
 mines.
 Florence Blade: Messrs: Dennison
 and Wakefield shipped twenty tons Of
 selected copper ore this week, from
 their new copper discovery situated
 about three miles east of Pinal. The ore was shipped via Mesa. The mine
 shows improvement with every foot of depth attai ed and 1t is now
 reasonably certain that this property
 will develop into good producer.
 Republican,: c. E. Champie re. ports very rich strike of silver ore in a claim about four miles north Of his residence on Humbug creek. When the ore is put under blow pipe flame, native silver appears in beads all over the surface. From piece of rock weighing sixteen pounds, fourteen ounces of silver were extracted. Mir. Ohampie thinks the ore carries about 1000 ounces of silver to the ton. Just how extensive the deposit Is has not been determined.
 Mohave Miner: G. w. Beecher, John Kolar and A. fl. Smith left on Saturday of last week for the Cheme. hueois district, where they went to thoroughly investigate the reported gold strike iL the gravel beds near the Colorado river. It is to be hoped that the rumors will prove to be based up on facts, as in that case a great ex- panse of ground that has heretofore been considered worthless will prob. ably be found of great value for placer mines. and being so near the river the lack of water will not be any obstacle to the profitable working of the ground.
 Mohave Miner: We would like to know why 1t is that so many mining composed usually of men of good business ability in any other industry, take it for granted that a mine or mill can be run "any old way" and with anybody more or less as superintendent or foreman? Half the failures today can be traced to the fact that men are placed in charge of mining enter prise who know absolutely nothing of the requirements of the position, and consequently fail and the mine gets the blame Whenever the time comes that mining companies select their men to run mine as carefully as they do for any other business then there will be Jess failures to chronicle in an industry which is now recognized as legitimate and safe an investment for capital as any other business or trade.
 JournaI-Miner: Supervisor Dumas brought in some specimens of ore from a great dyke about ten miles north of Jerome. The dyke is from GOO to TOO feet across and it has some copper stain; 1t looks as if it carried some iron. Pieces of the rock beaten in a mortar, when banned, show fine colors of gold There is prehistoric shaft and dump on the dyke. MT. Dumas discovered this great ore deposit six teen years ago, at which time he was in pursuit of a large bear, which sud denly disappeared, and he was unable to find it. He is now satisfied that the bear went into the prehis- toric shaft, which latter he discovered |

hath Of q Sweet Little Girl.

Sophie Dirmeyer Jeter, daugh-
Il Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Jeter,
did ct Palmetto plantation, near
Benton, Thursday evening, Sep
timber 10th, 1900, aged ii years,
sieht months and two days.
The associations that cluster
around death are peculiar to that
eyent alone. We think of severed
H. that can never be bound on
sarth again. We think of per-
ihed joys that no lapse or vicis-
itudes Of years will restore. We
think of the darkness and solitude
| d the tomb-of the fearful blank
h bereaved affection and the
sithering loneliness of spirit upon
the part of the loved ones left on
Ills earth to mourn their loss.-
These are some of the associations
inasperably connected with death.
But the great destroyer may
make such a selection of his VIC
tins and achieve his gloomy
kinmph under such circumstan-
sss IS to give enhanced tender
1ess and solemnity to these asso-
lafons, and greatly to augment
he pangs of bereavement. The
I'd tidings of the sudden and
me1pected death of this sweet
1iae girl has caused more than
orainary sympathy and sorrow.
though her stay here was brief,
Ut the tendrils of her sweet, hap
" young life had SO entwined
themselves around the hearts of
tather and mother that it was hard
iG them to give up their pet,
theif dear little "Doll Baby" as
hey lovingly called her.
The sorrowing family have the
deepest sympathy of everyone in
hair sore bereavement, but in
tod alone, the Great Comforter of
mankind, can they find surcease
nom their sorrows and balm for
tAeir broken hearts.
The remains of the deceased
ware buried in the Catholic GEM
seery at Shreveport Saturday.

The Mountain Mere.

The sky serene and blue
O'erlooks the shadoTy lake
OF yonder mountain vale;
And beams of golden hue
On ripping waters break,
To kiss the snowy sail.
And on this silvery mere
Ses yonder fairy boat
Goes gently skimming by;
While Ger the waters clear
The shadows seem to float,
Like birds that soar on high.
Now on the sapphire tide
Swift rides the shallep fair
with silver pinions bright;
While DER the sky doth glide
A feecy cloudlet rare,
Like white-Winged bird in fight.
Then from the Sky afar,
The purple shadows fall,
AS family in the west
Appears the evening star,
And silently doth call
The world to dreamless rest.

When the twilight shades are falling
In the bright and painted west,
Then all silently ] wander
Unto dreamland, land of rest.
Down dream rivers swiftly gliding
Speeds the boat in which / lie,
To my soul bright visions bringing
Mystic dreams that cannot die.
AS the boat g1ides DER the water,
Leaving earthly cares behind,
Then the brightest Of all day-dreams
Flashes swift across my mind.
In the light an angel standeth,
Wreathed smiles upon her face,
Ever reckoning me TO follow
With an airy, lissome grace,
Now follow when she beckoneth
In the faint and fading light,
AS the SKY grows darker, darker,
And the stars bedeclS the night.
All is darkness now and silence.
While / cross the billowy deep,
And the boat glides slower, slower,
Anchoring IN the bay OF sleep
