ARIzoNA's COPPER OUTLOOK.
New Workers. Statement of the Cop
per Prospects in the Territory.

per prospects IN the lerritOry.
Mr.. B. W. Thompson of New York
in statement respecting the copper
outlook in Arizona is credited with
saying:
"While all the copper mines of
Montana are practically located at
Butte, in an area of less than three
square miles, and nearly all the
Michigan copper is produced from
an area but little larger, there are
three large copper districts in Ari-
zona, Wis: Jerome, Bisbee and Cliff
ton. These districts produce eleven
twelfths of the copper of Arizona.
"In the jerome district is situated
the United Verde mines, principally
owned bv w. A. Clark. This prop
erty earned over S3,000,000 in 1893.
In the Bisbee district is situated
the Copper Queen mine, owned by
Phelps, Dodge & Co. In the Cliff
ton district are situated the mines
of the Detroit Copper company,
owned by Phelps, Dodge 81 Co, and
those of the Arizona Copper COM
pauy Unfortunately the smelter of
the former was destroyed by fire,
which will result in curt ailment Of
their production for the current
year. The stock of the Arizona
Copper company is chiefly owned in
Edinburgh, Scotland. The net earn
ings of this company were $2,000,O00
for the year 1899. These two COM
panies produced 32,979,962 pounds
of copper in 1899, which is an in
crease over the production of 1897
of 80 per cent.
"While at present the copper pro-
duction of Montana and Michigan
is greater than that Of Arizona, yet
the Montana and Michigan mines
have practically reached their maxi
mum output. the Montana mines
being worked to a depth of from
1,OOOto 1000 feet and the Michigan
mines to a depth Of from 1000 to
1000 feet, while the Arizona mines
especially in the Clifton district, are
only working their surface ores, not
having had to go deeper than about
GOO feet"

A TRUE SNAKE STORY.
Snakes, Snakes Everywherel And
Not Drop to Drink.

Snakes, Snakes Everywherel And
Not Drop to Drink.
This is snake story. 1t is a true
story-as true as the Gila county
snake story that is vouched for by
half dozen reputable citizens.
And we desire to say that any
inuendos, any airy persiaage or sug-
gestion from which it might be in
ferred that this story is not strictly
in accord with the concrete truth
will be considered a reflection upon.
our personal honor and resented la
mode Arizona.
There are not many snakes in
Navajo county now, and the purpose
of this narrative is to explain why.
A number Of years ago there was a
rattlesnake metropolis in Leroux
wash. 1t was sort of Mecca for
snakes where they congregated in
large numbers. The entrance to
their weird domain was hole about
foot IN diameter, and the boys who
rode and herded sheep in that vi
cinity respected the property rights
of the snakes in the hole as the
great moral teacher, Artemus Ward,
has taught us to do.
But one day Francisco Gradias,
alias Poncho, and Joe Broyles con-
cluded they would kill he snakes.
They had not been to town for
weeks, and so felt sure they
could tell a snake when they saw
one. Besides Winslow was the last
town they had visited, and the
Winslow booze does not make
snakes-it only makes the wheels
in your head go round. So they
provided themselves with a rock big
enough to stop up the entrance to
the snake city, took along guns and
clubs, and went forth to reclaim the
land from snake domination. They
chose a time of day when the snakes
would be out, rode up quickly,
stopped up the hole and began to
round up the snakes.
The writhing serpents soon found
that something was wrong and came
from every direction. The boys
shot away all their ammunition and
bruised their heads with heels and
clubs till they were weary, and still
they came.
At last, when no more snakes
could be found, they counted the
slain = llS dead rattlesnakes -
lying about them. They mounted
their horses and rode away, sick with
slaughter, nauseated with the
crunch and slippery writhing o
snake flesh.
The next day several of our mos
truthful citizens visited the scene
and counted the dead snakes. They
made it 119, but we don't insist OF
that one snake. We are willing tC
call it 118 in order to avoid dis
, pute. And remember. gentlemen o
the territorial press, we have thu
affidavits on file.
There are no snakes in Navajo
county nowl

One ON Andrew Lang.

Even the shrewdest persons may at
times be deceived. No matter how
much people may differ upon the
genius Of Andrew Lang, they are
unanimous in regard to his quick in
telligence and his talent for playing
golf. Not long ago he was guest at
ia very distinguished dinner, which he
is said to have described as an extra
ordinary survival of savage mysteries.
The culinary part was faultless, but
Mr.. Lang's enjoyment was utterly
ruined by having, as he put it, "a
budding funny man on the one hand
and a diabolically deaf socialist on the
other. could not" added the famous
critic, tell which Of the two was the
more mournful companion Two
weeks afterward 1t got out that the
socialist was not deaf; that he had
come to the banquet prepared to be
bored by less learned guests; that he
had been seated alongside IAN idiotic
middle-aged gentleman who did moth
ing but talk Of golf" and that, to pro-
tect himself, he had simulated deaf
ness which kept his neighbor bawling.

Admirers Of Stevenson will be glad
to have the assurance that his grave in
Samoa will be tenderly respected under
the German flag. Count Won Bulow,
on being informed that there was some
fear In Britain that political enmity
might threaten the sanctity of Steven
sons resting place, expressed himself
as follows: There is no spot in Sa-
moa which will be more treasured by
Germany than the grave OF her Mrs
Stevenson'sl noble and distinguished
husband. He was at times a stern
critic, but we always honored him; and
we feel no shame to-day in admitting
that much that he wrote and said may
have been well deserved. The grave
ON Vaea shall ever be honored as would
be the resting place OF one of Ger
many's most distinguished dead.
