There seems now to be no question but that within the next sixty days that developments will take place proving conclusively that the Consolidated is one of the great copper mines Of Ari- zona. The Pearl Mining company. operating mile or so north of the Consolidated, at Dos Cabesas, has struck it rich.

TEMPERING COPPER.
The Lost Art Said to Have Been
 Discovered.

A report from Machias, Me-, to the American Metal Market, New York I, states that James H. Duffy of Machias has discovered the lost art of temper ing copper so that it will take and keep an edge equal to that of steel. MT. Duffy is a civil war pensioner. Some fifteen years ago, says the Metal mar ket. he started a blacksmith shop and has since spent most of his time eX- perimenting with copper metal in var
 About the time he set up his shop he noticed that there was great waste of the soldering coDpers used in soldering the sardine tins in the fac tory at Machias. He thought that fl two old coppers could be welded to- gether into one good one it would be worth something, but 10 weld copper required heating, which spoiled the copper for soldering purposes.
 He began experimenting, he says, with the result that few ago he sur prised the factory owners by taking a lot of cast-off soldering coppers back to them nicely welded together and proved that they were better than be- fore. because the copper did not wear away so fast. He did not cease in his experiments. The result is, he says, that he has discovered the process which, if not the one by which the ancients tempered copper, at least does the same work. "He has made and exhibited here a copper hatchei
 with an edge apparently as keen and strong as steel, also stone chisel and several broad swords. The hatchet l has been sent to the Pau-American eX' position and he is making u collection | of samples to send to the same place i He asserts that his discovery is very simple and that every copper and bras:
 worker treads upon it daily, but fail: ! to see it. He thinks that what he ha:
 discovered is but the beginning of ;
 great series of discoveries winch mus follow it."-Los Angeles Mining Re view.

BACK FROM AFRICA.
Land Where Nature Triumphs and
 Man Dies in a Few Weeks.

Col. A. M. Ellsworth, a well knowt
 mining expert Of Fl Paso, returned from West Africa this morning.
 Col. Ellsworth left here on April Tor the Gold Coast of Africa, to look in.
 to mining properties owned by French year in gold.
 ! The properties are in the neigh 5or-
 hood of Ashanti. Africa, some l5O
 miles back from Cape Coast Castle. Col Ellsworth has had his experiences In his time but those passed through since last evening throw all others in the shade
 Cape Coast Castle is q town of about 10000 inhabitants, S6 of whom were whites ana the remainder negroes. During the month of June. in three weeks, seven of the whites died. The curse of the country is a kind of malar- ial fever, called black water, in which the patient passes water as black as ink
 There Is gold in the country but the only means of transportation is on the heads of negroes, eio Int Of whom carried his hammock, in which he reclined, while the others carried his baggage. It cost from S3OO to $500 to transport one ton from the coast to Ashanti, 15O miles in the interior. The jungle is impervious, and sqaud of men. no matter how armed cannot penetrate l country is swamp; the water is dead- ly and the stench of dead wild animals is intolerable.

THE GREAT SILVER KNG

s dreds of shafts were sunk and tunnel,
 run into the mountains. some of then to depth of several hundred feet Quite little city sprang up at Silver King, and town of some importance at Pinal City, where there was another mill in addition to that Of the King. Yet, so far as can remember, not one I1nthA- -Aails prnftable mine was dis covered within radius or five miles of
 the Silver King. Some old miners
 have the theory that you will never
 find any very rich deposits of ore with
 in few miles of another, unless it is
 part of continuous ledge. After years
 of fruitless effort, that theory became
 quite popular around Pinal.
 | A few miles southeast of Pinal City
 at Mineral Hill, the Pinal Consolidated
 Company, under Aaron Mason, built a smeiter to work a large deposit of sil-
 ver-lead ore, and small town called Butte sprang up. Silver declined in
 value. transportation was very expen-
 slve. and the enterprise did not last
 long. l see that this property has
 since been acquired by Californians.
 little farther of is Mineral Creek, picturesque region, where for miles the rocks are brilliantly stained with l the peacock hues of copper. The Ray | mine, which has since become so cele- | brated in the hands of an English com pany, was known in those day as d To- cation upon which some work had been done, but little was thought of copper at that time. The mine belonged to Charles Horn. who named it after Ray 'folles. the son of a friend of his, d car penter at Pinal. Horn sold the mine for a small sum. and it lav idle for many years. Copper indications are abundant in that section.

\ Good Plan.

The JOURNAL has several times al
luded to 1.-THE Meyersdale PLAN of secur-
ing municipal improvement as one worth
adopting here, and adopting at once.
Some insight into that "plan" and its
advantages will be gained by read
ing the following paragraph from the
Commercial of last week:
IfSomerset would have tried the Meyers
dale plan she would not have to lie awake
nights guessing how near the one hundred
thousand dollar mark her united municipal
Indebtedness is, with an unfinished sewer to
show for it. We finish up street or two and
then stop till its nearly paid. Then we try
another and repeat. 1t requires some pa
thence, bat by and by we will have paved
town and very light taxes. Some day we
will be ready for sewers, when we are we
propose to do it in the same way with the
farther addition of making them self-slls-
tanning.
1t is plain that Mcycrsdale people en-
joy more intelligent confidence i'll the
future of their town than some other
places whose prospectus is just as bril-
liant.

that important subject.
have been waiting to see if some one
else would take up the matter, but fear
ing no one will, | ask you to allow me
space to discuss it with him.
In the first place, quite agree with
"Ajax" that with the present revenue
and fixed expenses the Water committee
will be able to save all he claims, but at
this time do not agree with him in the
matter of establishing IA sinking find
for the reason that we have not as vet
sufficient supply of water.
My proposal is-put i'll motion dt oncc
the first article in the platform which
won MIR. Benson's campaign last spring
namely-"TP "W at once seek 10 increase
tie "6ter S"ppIH,' etc. Ibelieve it would
be better policy to take the surplus of
the water rents, reclaim and store the
water now going to waste over the
mountain i'll good reservoir; put new
pump i'll and give to all the people of
town water all the year round, at any
time i'll the day or night they may need
it, and thus fulfill part of the pledge to
which part of the present Board is
committed.
In the second place, lam informed that
the Water committee are about to raise
the rates on all meter-takers. If that be
true, believe it is grave mistake, as
it will be charging large number of
water-takers twice for what they get
once. | mean by that-numbers of our
people are regular customers of Mayors
manufactured ice. and having rofrigera-
tors, save the water from the melting ice
which, by the way, is he I"rc| ~ot,, 10
be- hud.
Then, again-is it fair to raise the
rates just in the middle of the season
after the ice people have made their
contracts with the public? In my opin-
ion it will he very effective way to
drive ont of town the manufacture of
what the people look upon as not only
very necessary buta very choice commod-
ity.
But the ice plant is not the only in
dustry that will suffer by such action,
for the railroad and the Union Mining
company are both water-takers. Would
our Council wish to see either of those
concerns stop, and stop any other enter
prise from locating i'll town?
| hope Council will give this matter
their sincere thought before they finally
decide to raise the price on what will af-
feet so many of our poor people.
