There are two strong veins of copper on the property, which have been opened by drifts from the 100 foot shaft, and every opening in the mine shows high grade ore, the drifts from the bottom of the shaft being in glance ore asaying B per cent copper.

PROSPECT FOR CINNABAR.
Worlds Supply of Quicksilver Run-
 ming Short.

How many prospectors are familiar with cinnabar? Those who are not should become acquainted with it's gen. eral appearance, for the discovery of new deposits would prove of great value, as shown by the following dis patch from Boston, says the Western Mining World:
 some fear is felt in the trade that the worlds production of quicksilver is likely to prove unequal to the growing demand. The total supply in 1899 was about 95,OG0 flasks from Spain. Italy Austria, and California. the principal sources of supply. This was less than for quite a number of years with an exception or two. The production of the cinnabar mines Of California. the only large producers upon the Ameri- can continent, has declined from 39, 900 tiasks in 1888 to only 2S.10O in 1899. The principal mines of Spain and Austria which have been producing for nearly 1000 years. are the only other producers of importance, except Russia, produc- ing S,IOO tiasks last year, none of which came out of that country. Spain pro- duced 39,34O fiasks in 1899 and Austria only 15,OOO. Hope for future increased supplies of quicksilver comes from New South Wales, where cinnabar $ said to be plentiful and English capital is now turning in that direction with a view of testing the value of the ores.''

ination Of the Mazat1ai copper mines
 At the Kingston sinking is progress ing well. The shaft is down about 14a feet and ore is coming in strong.
 The shaft on the Black Warrior com- pany's Gold Gulch mine is down 125 feet. Perry Howle has the contract. which calls for a depth of 200 feet and crOsscutting. The ledge of sulphide ore is over sixteen feet wide near the sur- face It is from this claim that the company expects to get the sulphides for making acid.
 P. J. Cole and J. c. Goodwin came in on Tuesday from their mines on Min eraI creek. Development work is pro- gressing well.
 George Calder superintendent Of the Pinto Creek Nj X NJ company. was in town on Monday and Tuesday. The mine foTce is now doing assessme nj work on the several claims Of the group. The contractors driving a 300 foot tunnel are making fair progress. although they have been in very hard ground for some time. They expect 10 complete the work about September Ia.
 N. s. Berray of Silver City. N. M., and J. J. Windmiller of San Carlos are here this week consulting with Chaun- cey Gum, superintendent of the Cop per Hill mines, in which they are in- terested. The agreement under which the mines are being operated and de- veloped expires October 26, and until that date no doubt work will be pushed vigorously. The Copper Hill is a good property, and since last November has been a steady shipper.
 E. O. Swarts Is in from Spring creek, tributary of Gun creek, where he and two partners have located a gold mine. The ledge is said to be four feet wide and crops for 700 feet. Assay returns from a sample sent to Fl Paso showed $40 gold. One of the partners claims to have received q description and map of the pr. Thorn mine from the doctor himself and is confident that they have discovered that lost bonanza. A ship ment of ore is to be made through Globe.
 Dr. T. C. Stallo returned last Sunday from the Ella copper mine. on the west side of Pinto creek, a mile from Irion's ranch. The doctor has had the shaft sunk to the depth of fifty feet and has given a contract to his partner, MT. Purcell, to crosscut the ledge at that depth.-Siive Belt.

WATER STORAGE
The Conference of Tax Payers and
 Farmers On Friday.

Next Friday is going to be busy day in Phoenix with politics and primaries, but neither primaries and politics can obscure or lessen the interest which is being taken Tn the water storage question which will be discussed at the Doris theater on Friday. A compara- lively few men have vital interest in politics. while the question of more water is a vital issue with every farm CT. merchant and home owner in the valley.
 There is q growing confidence that something substantial will come of this meeting. For many years the subject of water storage has been in the air, all in the air, with a lessening prospect of ever being anywhere else.
 The agitation of the subject started by The Republican some weeks ago has had the effect of solidifying the ques- tion and divesting it of some of it's vagueness. Men who always knew that water was a necessity to the flu ture development of the valley without fully recognizing it, have been brought face to face with the fact that nature has done all she can do for the Salt River valley; that neither good luck nos the governm-nt will aid her, but that the people themselves must come to her assistance. The following is the call for the meeting:
 Believing there is urgent need of some action in regard to better sup ply of irrigating water for the Salt River valley, and having faith that much can be accomplished by concert ed action of the citizens of MaricOpa county, a meeting is hereby called by the residents of said county, to be held at Doris theater at 10 o'clock a. m., Friday, August 31, for the free and open discussion of ways and means for pro- viding a better water supply, for irri- gating in said county. Said meeting 10 be in the sole interest of the people. Everybody who has the best interests of Maricopa county at heart is earnest

At the beginning OF the Anglo-B DER
war the British employed native run
ners" to watch the movements OF the
enemy. The news thus obtained was
known by the euphonious name OF
"Kaffirgrams. 1t appears that Boer
sl1arpshooters picked off the native
runners" as no mention has been made
of them in recent dispatches. Presi-
dent Steyn accuses the British OF arm
ing the natives and employing them
against the Beers, even against the will
of the savages. The British are doing
the same thing in Africa that they did
in America when they armed the In
dams and used them against the colo
nists.

to the Beers by Col. Badcn-Powell,

which he told them that "the American
government has warned the others OF
its intention to side with England

Lambert says, in the New York Free

pected to live to see the day when Eng

FRANCE Is SAUCY.
Chip On Her Shoulder for Eng
land to Knock Off

=" AAhOCh Oh
Paris, March 7.-Your correspondent
learns that extreme tension exists in the
Anglo-trench relations and French Off
cial circles are considering the probabIl-
ity OF war. An important official, who
possesses the confidence of the ministry,
told your correspondent today that it
would be useless longer to deny the fact
that Great Britain aims at attacking
France. He added that it had been
evident for some time that the English
press was Obeying instructions in max
ing the most of every trifing Offense
given by the French press, while ignOr-
ing graVer insults from the press of
other countries. Moreover all Great
Britain's late preparations are known to
be solely directed against France. Every
step England has taken has been met
with a corresponding precautionary
step by France.
1t was not weakness which made the
French yield in the FashOda dispute, but
moderation, though apparently all
moderation was wasted, in England's
present temper. France has been pre-
pairing for years and is now ready to re-
sist British aggression.
Your correspondent remarked that
these were somewhat startling state
ments and added he did not wish to
cable anything likely to produce bad
blood.
The diplomatist in reply said:
Il have put the case none too strong.
Remember, we do not wish for war, but
England's disposition is too evident to
be misunderstood. Consequently we
have made all necessary precautions to
avoid being taken at a disadvantage.
France is Ready.

Frankfort statistics showing the
amount OF German capital invested
in transoceanic countries. The re-
port states that Germany is rapidly
rising in importance as a money
lending as we'll as a money making
nation. 1t has hundreds OF mil
lions in various parts Of the globe.
In North Africa, Germany has in
vested nearly $4,000, 900. In
South Africa, the German element
has lost its identity as part Of the
Empire, immigrants having taken
on new citizenship. Still, invest
ments at Cape Colony are esti-
mated at nearly $40, 900 900; in
the Transvaal, SI7o, 900 600; in
Portuguese territory IN Africa, at
nearly S., ,ooo, 900; in East Africa,
at S23, 900. 900, OF which SII9o, 900
is invested in Zanzibar. In Turkey,
Germans own real estate valued at
S7T4o,o 900, and have S5555c, 900
in various industries. This sum
does not include the amount for
the Bagdad railroad.
The capital in the Persian Ara
bian peninsula is stated at SII,-
