AN ELECTRIC PROsPECToR
Jerome Miners locating Ore Bodies y
 Machinery.

There was some little stir in mining circles during the past week over the introduction of an electric ore discoV- eTer known as Browns Electro Geo. detic instrument. promoted by Georg-- W. Wilson. says the Jerome Mining News. MT Wilson had a number of letters from reputable mining men in Utah and California. through which he succ eeded in getting together a small gathering of skeptical mining and busi- ness men. He explained the working of his machine to those present, and succeeded in arousing more or less in tercst. John B. Hadaway. president and Clarence L. Barker, general man. ager of the Monarch Gold and Copper Mining company. in order to give ;he instrument a thorough test, engaged MT. Wilson to go over the company's property. He was on the property two days, and after locating lodges known to Superintendent Wombacher, an1 which have been worked to q depth of 220 feet. he located on parts of the property not yet opened a number of ledges- The company has started men at work to open up these alleged orc bodies. and if they exist in fact the i.l- strument will have mary followers in this district. The instruments work on this property has completely captured the officials of the company, even the superintendent, who had the least con fidence in the instrument.
 President Hadaway and General Manager Barker of the Monarch Gold and Copper Mining company. left Sat urday morning for their home in BJs- ton. They were more than pleased with the progress being made a: the mine under the mara cement of Super intendent Wombacher, and before leav- ing contracted with Brown Bros If Prescott to put in entire new milling plant The mill will be ten stamp. $50 pound stamps, five stamps to be work ing in six weeks, with concentrator. All to be handled with a forty horse power boiler and thirty-five horse power engine. This mill will undoubt- edly make this property q dividend payer. as it will admit of all ores taken from the mine to be worked.
 As depth is attained in this grcdp excellent orc bodies are encountered. At depth of 22O feet they have a bo " of ore which assays over 80 per to1 gold.-Jerome News

TRIED TO WRECK MACHINERY.
A DastardIy Attempt on the Electric
 Light Works at Tucson.

On Sunday the last of a series of de- liberate attempts to injure or wreck the machinery of the electric light company was made. From time io time, the last few weeks, trouble has been continually found. something that in the ordinary course of wear and tear would last a long time. would -break and give out
 About 1 o'clock on Saturday one of the dynamos began to show signs of i'll treatment. The trouble was found to be in the armature. This was taken out, and a spare armature put in Its place so that the disturbance of the company's service was only tempo rary.
 On Sunday about midnight another dynamo was also put out of business gain the trouble was in the armatui a and again a spare armature was set in.
 When the old arn1atures were taken to the repair shops. investigation re- VcaIcd the cause of the difficulty. SoilIe one had put few drops of acid upoi, it and the electricity had donc the rest

Mines and Minerals of AriZOna|

Early in its career the shelter was forced to close because of shortage of water Late: the smeleer caught fl: .. and was almost wholly destroyed. IT was quickly rebuil. and Is at present turning out about 2.c00 tons of 55 per cent copper matte monthly.
 Its several mines contain large bod ies of low grade copper ores. sulriLdcs which are free from all refractory sub- stances, ard run in the vicinity of , per ceut coppsr. These ores will con- centrate readily, and 1t Is therefore the plan of the management to build 500 ton concentrator.
 The Helvetia has been carefully ani economically managed It was pro- noted by a group of mining men of the Lake Superior copper country. The Coosers father and son. the elder in charge of the smelters of the Quincy Mining company at Hancock. and the Calumet and Hecla ot Lake Linden Mich, were the first to take up the Helvetia property. They were early joined by other copper mining people and though all have teen disa ppointel at the result they have watched tho property closely and every dollar has been well spent.
 Without intending an unkind c:iti- cism 1t looks as if they made ore mis- talk that is more excrsable in the in- experienced. They rushed the comple- tion of their shelter before they de- veloped their mine. The bonanza like surface showing caused them to forget momentarily that 1t takes Sl 900 0e0 and at least two years of development work to make . copper mine.
 Their mistake has not cost them much money. but they have suffered disappoirs sment anS delay at a time when they mad expected to be enjoy ing the extreme opposite. It has taught promoters lesson and set an- other precedent fo- the copper mining world. The money will now be ex. pended. more development work done and Helvetia will be mine only a little later than it would otherwise

Detroit Owners Will Raise Mor ey for
 Concentrator.

The following is taken from the De- troit Free Press Of recent date:
 The management of the Helvetia Copper company. Arizona, in which many Detroiters are interested. is plan ming to make important additions to it's reduction plant, which will entail d large expenditure, and probably the stockholders will be called upon to sup ply the need5d money
 At the outset the promoters thought they had provided for all of the pcssi- ble needs of the company in a financial way The treasury fund consisted of S500.OOo cash and 5O.50O shares of sto.I. of a par value of sl.250. .O00. Nearly SiOc. .J00 of the cash has been spent anI as no effort has ever been made to boom the stock there is now no market for the treasury holdings.
 The Helvstia started it's smelter Jn very rich carbonates and oxides Al most from the first. however. the mine was a disappointment. The ore; changed to sulphides at the third level.

C. F. McClaren came in from Cave Creek yesterday to record the location of his newly discovered mining claim. which has been named the Isabella. after the big mine of that name at Cripple Creek. He says it is a fine looking prospect and will make him rich or there is no dependence on indi- cationz. The property lies about two miles from the Phoenix mine. and al most the whole surrounding country was located except the place where he found the real thing. He says the rock carries copper and gold. but in what quantities can not be announced till he gets the result of assays. How ev5r. he says there is lots of free gold in the evidence and he does not need an assay to tell him the ore is rich. He has a shaft six by eight feet down six feet and has located but one wall. He says. therefore. that he knows he has Q six foot vein. but how mucn wider it is he can only guess. But he is SO jubilant he refused to sell third interest yesterday for cash He has one partner.

lieve and the washes, douches, powders and inhale;s in common use are very little, if any. better than the old fash toned salt water douche.
 The use of inhalers and the applica- ton of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much blood disease as kid ney trouble or rheumatism and it can rot be cured by local treatment any more than they can be.
 To cure oatarrh. whether in the head. throat or stomach an internal antisep- tic treatment is necessary to drive the catari hal poison out of the blood and system. and the new catarrh cure is designed on this plan and the remark able success of StUart's Catarrh Tab lets is because being used internally it drives out catarrhal infection through action upon stomach. liver and bowels Wm. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates an experience with catarrh which is of value to millions Of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: ''I neglected q slight nasal catarrh until it gradually extended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became affected, but as l was able to keep up ard do a days work I let it run along until my hearing began to fail me and then ! realized that I must get rid of catarrh or 2ose my posi- ton as I was clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary.
 Some of my friends recommended an inhaler. another catarrh salve, but they were no good in my case, nor was anythinS else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and bought package at my drug store. They benefited me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of ca tarrh although I had suffered nearly aE my life from it.
 They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use than oth- CT catarrh remedies that I feel I cannot say enough in favor of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets"

Mir. r. A. Dixon,


 MT. F. A. Dixon, Editor Pythian Echo, says in recent letter to Dr. Hartman |: "Some two years ago I began using Pe- runa in my family as a family doctor, and l have been highly pleased with the result. My wife has used it for catarrh and experienced great relief. My little girl has been sick a number of times, and when we used your medicine it proved a success. I have used it my self several times and consider it q very valuable medicine. Speaking from per sonal observation, consider it good investment to keep it in my home, and believe every man who desires to re- leve suffering, and at the same time save money, should investigate the real merits of your Peruna and other medicines
 In later letter he says "For about four years l have used Peruna in my home for myself, wife and two children, and I have saved many doctor bills. Many times a dose or two of Peruna taken in time will stop n asiclkness, which, if permitted to go for a day, would re- suit in serious trouble. For grip it is splendid and can be used successfully with very young children as well as old people. I use it in my home as an all- around family doctor and when it has been given fair trial, it has proved an excellent remcdy.''

WHITE PICACHO DISTRICT
Big Water Strike in the Hercules
 Other Good Properties.

The White Picacho district above Hot Springs Junction is taking on new life just now. and particularly by req son of the late development work on the Hercules Mining companys prop erty. of which MT. Fl. F. Arnitage IS superintendent. This property is ex- plored to the depth of 25O feet and presents immense ore bodies. Mining men who have examined it say that wi;h development the property will some day g=t into the same class with the United Verde and Bisbee mines The great drawback which the Her cules company experienced since It began work about a year ago was scarcity of water. But only last week while running a crosscut on the 25O level a vein of water was struck that will make pumping on the lower levels a necessity hereafter. This sort of an inconvenience. however. is greeted with satisfaction by the company. as the water is sweet and pure and just what is wanted for all purposes around l big mine. When the new pumps are put in the Herucles will continue tp grow. Its growth, too. will mean much to Phoenix in a business way. aS Phoa- nix is the natural supply point.
 But there are other promising pros poets ir the same district, and many of them Messrs McColla and Eyer are developing copper prospect but a short distance away. as rapidly as the.r means wiz allow. Mir. McColla was in the city yesterday and said he wanted to sell half interest in the property to secure funds for further develop ment. He has four claims. two of which he has named the Violet and Gopher. They are located about twelve miles from the junction. and the ore aSzays an average of 11.6 per cent. The vein, which he has followed into the hil for twenty five feet, runs from thirteen incheS>to four feet in width. and he has opened it up for length of forty-fivefee across the hill

A WAR OF INVASION
Phoenix Base Ball Team Will Take to
 the Road.

The Phoenix baseball team is now en- to an invasion of the south. It is pro- posed to take prisoner every baseball aggregation between here and the Mex ican line and east to the line of New Mexico. providing the said aggrega- tions will come out in the open where the Phoenix boys can get at them. The team has been strengthened this week by the addition of two new men who have just arrived to spend the winter. Neither of them has played with the team yet. but both will go out for practice today. One of then is C. Graham of Salt Lake City. who played during the summer with the mountain league, consisting of Idaho. Montana. Utah and Wyoming. His fielding per centage was SSS and his batting per- centage was 720. These figures indi- cate that he understands the game. The other man is MT Martin of Burlins- ton. Iowa. and he has been playing during the summer with the Iowa state league.
 Manager Alexander has received Il reply from the Tucson team accepting his challenge for two games. and also a favorable letter from the Bisbee team arranging for two games there. Tue son papers announce that Ed Beurhing has been chosen manager of the Grays. ard that the team is arranging for some hard practice in the next few days.
 The Phoenix team expects to play in Tucson on the 18th and 20th and Tn Bisbee on the 22d and 23d.
 MT. Alexander is now in correspond encc with Morenci and Clifton baseball managers. and says there is every req sen to believe he can arrange with them for games following the Risbee battle. If these arrangements car be perfe cted they will probably play n Morenci on the 18th and 26th and in Clifton on the 2Tth and 18th. At Iea.'t that is the schedule they want. Speak ing of the work of the Bisbee team the Review says: ''The Bisbee ball team went to Naco Sunday to play against the nine of that place and came out victorious by a score of Il to g. The game, from the call of play ball until the last man was put out in the ninth inning, was an exciting one Until the fifth inning the Bisbee boys had failed to get q man across the plate, while their opponents had scored two. In the seventh inning the boys took a batting streak and piled up seven runs
 
 sixth, the score standing at that time h to in favor of Bisbee. In the re- maining innings Naco scored four more while Bisbee added one to her list"
 It is now up to the Phoenix team to get down to hard work. and it's up !. Phoenix fans to give the boys all the support they can.
