SANTA RITA COPPER MINES
Were Worked Hundred Years Ago
 and Then Abandoned.

The Copper mines of the Santa Rita 6istrict. about fourteen miles east of Silver City in Grant county, N. M, have an interesting history which commences long before the day of the American prospec- tor. According to accounts found in the archives of She city of Mexico, the mines were abandoned by the spaniards in 17SO. having been op- erated by them for many years prev ious to that date, as is shown by the dumps at the old workings.
 History relates that two Spanish lieutenarts. Romero and Charasco, with q number of Mexican peons and a few soldiers held the mines against tne Apache Indians and worked them in spite of the hostility of the Indians Two old adobe forts are still standing among the buildings occupied by the present company. These two. with another recently demolished, are capa- ble of holding fifty or more men and according to the historians they were often put to good use in the hard bat ties with the Apaches.
 Old buckslSin sacks in which the ore was carried from the mines on the backs of the miners have been found in the old workings. The ore was sorted and taken on the backs or burros to Chihuahua or the city of Mexico. Il is also related by history that a cave-iIl occurred on one of the mines and killed fourteen MeXicans and on this account and the difficulties with the Indians work on the mine was finally stopped. Evidence of this cave-in is still ill existence at the mine.
 The mines are now being developed by Boston capitalists in a systematic manner. Three shafts are being sunk by the company and drifts to connect them are being run. About forty leasers are sinking shafts on the terri tory thrown open to them and some of them are working large forces. All of the leasers have agreed to sell their ore. for one dollar a unit to the com pany which takes it on the dump.
 The territory owned by the mining company comprises an area of about l square mile, the center portion of which is reserved for development, while the remainder is thrown open to leasers. The ore occurs in a stock work of veins in very soft, decom- posed, porphyritic rock, the veins vary ing in width from knife-blade seams of native copper to bodies of low grade oxidized ore of or feet in width. The ore is of almost all varieties, in cluding a considerable quantity of na- tive copper, but the carbonates and oxides predomGnate at present depths.
 A 90-ton concentrator, in connection with which is a plant for teaching the taiIings with sulphurlc acid, is work ing on the various old dumps left about the property by leasers and former owners. The water question, one of the most serious difficulties 10 contend with has recently been solved hy en- counrering srreaEl of eleven niner's inches in sinking one Of the shafts. This supply continues and furnishes material almost as valuable as copper ore in this region.
 The mines support a population of 800 natives and 200 Americans. The camp is reached by a spur from the Atchison, Topeka & santa Fe railroad.

BLACK ROCK DISTRICT
Rapid Development of a Number of
 Good Properties.

A gentleman who recently came down from the Black Rock district in the vicinity of Wickenburg, says that the mining men in that locality are all in the best of spirits and develop ment work is being pushed on every hand. The whole district seems to be lively and nearly every claim looks promising.
 The Slim Jim property is down over a hundred feet and there is a good showing of ore. Chunks of native copper are being taken out varying in size from an ounce or so to four or five pounds. Those who are acquainted with the larger mines of the territory say that the Slim Jim bids fair to some day outrank them all.
 The Octopus group of claims has re- gently been examined and reported on by Denver experts and their report was most flattering. The showing made by the group at this time is said to be most fattering.

SHOT BY A DEAD MAN.
A Strange Accident Which Happened
 After Spion Kop.

Who does not remember Spion Kop, that fateful place where so many of our brave fellows died fighting for our flag? The men of British breeding have not forgotten IL. nor are we like ly to for many a long day to come. Nor have our foes ceased to remember it, I trow, for there, not Tar from where our dead were lying, many of their boldest sons passed in their last report to the Great Commandant. Who, in the end. marshals all men before Him.
 Our dead lay clustered in deep rows like ridges of seaweed on some sandy slope, for they had fallen where they stood, shoulder to shoulder in the pride of their breeding. The Boers lay here and there. scattered over a wider space, for as they fought so they fell
 but whether near or far, it mattersd not-death came and kissed them, and they passed away. On that red field how many womanly hearts were bro ken In British homes hearts ached. and Rachel sat mourning for her chil

TIE NEWS
 OF JEROME

Jerome, AIiz., Dec. 4.-(Spacial cor respondence of The Republican.)-Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, and uhe rains caused by over indulg- ence 1t the festive spread, the Jerome people are turning their attention to the coming of the grandcst of all hol- idays, Christmas. There will be Christ mas trees for the little folks, at which a real, live Santa will preside and dis tribute ths presents to the good chill dren. Rev. MT. Oliver, of the Metho- dist church, is arranging for a tree to be enjoyed by his clan, and all who care to attend. The little girls of the Sunday school are out with cards ask ing for donations for the tree. Already a neat sum has been collected and more is coming in every day. The cit izens of Jerome, generous at all times, are more than generous when it comss to giving for such a worthy cause as a treat for the children. The usual ex- ercisas will be he'd before the presents are distributed. There will be singing and speaking by the little ores, and some words of wisdom by those not SO little. Altogether there seems to be a great time in store for the Jerome peo- pie Christmas.
 Several more names have been added to the list Of those who will avail them selves of the opportunity of taking in the carnival at Phoenix next week. Je- rome will certainly be well represent ed. J. L. Summers, one of the most widely known old timers in the town, told me yesterday that he would be there with both feet, accompanied by his charming wife, and that he would have the best time of anyone there. Ben Clay and wife are going, and May or Tovrea is getting the fever pretty badly. His feet are itching to feel the familiar earth of the Salt River valley beneath them, and he will be there without fail. Walter Miller, of the great mercantile firm of T. F. Miller company, has becn appointed by the council to represent US at the garden city celebration, and will naturally have to go. He says he doesn't believe he will be able to get away, but he stUiIters when he says it. Merchants, bankers, barbers, saloon men, gay gam boilers, sports and preachers will ali go frcm here. The bill boards in Je- rome are resplendent with glar;ng ad- vertisements, and one has but 70 glance at them a few times to get the fever.

Another Version of the Cold Water
 Affair.

Not long ago the Republican pub lished an account of a strained, not to say un-Chrstian relation existing among A. l.. Baker A. L. Street, C. C. Dixon and other estimable persons in the Coldwater district a few miles southwest of Phoenix. The trouble was said to have had it's origin in di- Vergins' views about the manage ment of a well. Of this dispute there is some court record. It may be said that the Republicans information of the more recent outbreak did not come from any of the parties directly inter- ested in the controversy. Readers of Scottish history and romance know that in the families of Grant of Cairn and MacPherson of Bendearg there were no mutual or mere properly speaking, common friends. So it Is in Coldwater. Every account of the internecine strife in progress there may be honestly but is cer- tainly fatally colored by paTti- gan zeal So might the late ac- count in the Republican have been.
 The following version of the trouble has just been received at this office The writer, MT. c. Burrows. may be said to be free from any sympathy with the enemies of MT. Dixon. He writes;
 Tn the Republican of the 27th ut. we read of "A Coidwater affair in which some of the participants are hiding out" and that there lis said to be q reign of terror down in the Cold water district" Too bad. if true, but fortunately your informant is in error, just mistaken, that is all. He would not prevaricate for anything less than an enlarged spleen and a morbid desire to injure his superiors. Why. bless his good neighborly heart. there Is no reign of terror" in the Coldwater dis trict, no commotion except in the working of the imagfnations of a few moral dyspeptics and social cranks. and if there has been any hiding in the sage brush down in Coldwater, it was from other reasons than the fear of the DiXons. That there is an unpleasant state Of affairs down in the Co.dwater settlement, no one win deny, but that d quarrel arose over a we'll dug by A. l.. Strait, A. l.. Baker and c. c. Dixon last summer is not true. No well was dug at that time nor at any other time by the gentlemen named; no water burst forth" and no land was re- juvenated." It is probably susceptible of proof that the trouble in the camp was caused by conspiracy to freeze" MT. Dixon out, but he is not the cow ard to tamely submit. He will stay with them and that veXes thsm, and doubtless some of them are troubled with midnight visions of the day of judgment, and the dread of being as sociated with goats in pastures Of sage brush and buckwheat stubble." Bad picking for the elite of Coldwater. But the DiXons, the irreducible DiXons, from the least of them to the venerable c. C., sleep serenely, have pleasant dreams and are fearless even of the scalping knives of the Coldwater Apaches. 'All discord is harmony not understood" (Pope). From this view of the matter Coldwater is superlative- ly harmonious and the officers of the Coldwater AntiImprovement Asso- ciation deserve much credit for this happy condition"

No sure cure is yet known for chronic rheumatism. No man living can cure it always. He can try. If he fails he can try another way.
 There are many ways. Some harmless; others worse than the rheumatism. Better not take the chance of quack medicines.
 SCott's emulsion of cod-liver oil cures rheumatism only by crowding it out by vital force. If that succeeds, it succeeds; if that fails, it fails. It never does any harm.
