A Mexican with his foot badly mashed was brought over from Cochise county last week by a deputy sheriff, and taken to Metcalf where he had q brother living. The deputy insisted on the brother giving up all the mon- ey he lad, which was 80. The deputy took the money and left for home. The A. C. doctors had the poor fellow brought down to the Clifton hospital, where they found 1t necessary Co ampu- tate his foot. He is receiving every possible care, and will recover. How ever, it is not neigh borly act on the part of Cochise county officials to bring their unfortunates to Clifton to be cared for at public expenses. or charity. The people cf Cochise are just as able to care for their unfortunates as are the people of Graham county.

The roulette game at the Midway was held up Monday morning about o'clock. by two MeXicans, one of whom was boy. When they made the at tempt to hold up the game Burt Moore grabbed the boy, and the man ran. Burt turned the boy over to Mike Rose, who held him while Burt examined the cash drawer. He found the greenbacks and gold all right, and Mike then turned the boy loose. The boy made break for the door, and there was suspicious jingle of silver about his person. On examining the rows Of sil- yer dollars stacked up around the wheel, it was discovered that one of them had disappeared, and it is only reasonable to suppose that they accom- panied the boy in his flight. Billy Hamilton and Lee Hobbs were sitting in the rear room of the Midway at the time, but the robbery was committed so quickly, and without a word being spoken, that they were not appraised of it until after both Mexicans made good
 their escape. Billy said he heard shuffiing of feet, and supposed that Mike was doing the firing act" on some hobo.
 J5tid Webster, who is supposed to be the best quail shot in America, and
 A. NJ. Scott, the most notorious bear killer-with possibly the exception of Col. Dell Potter--in all Arizona, left Clifton Sunday morning for tue Coron- ado country on a quail hunt. They
 took along twenty sacks in which to bring home their quail. They prom ised to supply all their friends along Chase Creek with quail to last them all winter. Their friends, in order to saYo the tired hunters the trouble of deliv- ering the game, assembled at the de- pot, but when the train pulled in Mon- day night, Webster and Scott were not among the passengers, They were ! both modest men and knowing that a grand reception awaited them, had

AT THE STANDARD.

Superintendent Al Rosecrans of the Standard has been quite busy during the past week sackiug ore for ship ment and installing a 5-horse power gasoline enSira in the tunnel, which will be used for raising the ore and rock from the winZe, which will be continued to depth of POO feet more, making it about 800 feet in depth from the surface. Twelve hundred sack of ore have been sacked for shipment to the Federal Shelter at Fl Paso, which
 is expected to average about 10 per cent. This shipment represents about one quarter of the rich ore now on the dump. From this time on it is expect ed that the Standard will ship more than one car of rich orc per week, which will be ample to pay the running expenses of the mine and such equip ment as is necessary for the present. To say that the mine is docking well'' would be a mild way to express it. The mine has 3-foot breast of from 10
 to 60 per cent. ore in its deepest work ings, nearly 300 feet from the surface, and from Is inches to I feet Of the same class of ore al other places nearer | the surface, besides second-class ore
 which Ill average from 10 to 15 per cent which will not be shipped for the present. While the Standard cannot
 as yet be considered as a mine, the present development has shown that il
 has long since passed the prospect
 stage. A property that becomes self
 sustaining in nine months of develop ment work, is certainly an exception in any camp in Arizona. Many sur
 face improvements are now being made

w. Ii. Anderson Of New York, one of the principals in the purchase Of the Heating group of mines, who is now in Clifton, is an enthusiastic believer in the new dry concentrator, known as the Wood process. He says that it differs from other concentration propO- sitions in that current of air, instead of water, is used in separating the met als from the ganguc matter. There are those who have no faith whatever in the process, and the long delays in cidental to the equipment and comple- tion of new mill have in no way helped to assure the public that the new method would be successful. How ever, "lhe proof of the pudding is the eating" and this applies to the Wood concentration, as the product of the mill, the fine concentrates, cannot but convince the most skeptical that it is q success and that its practical applica- tion on the milling ores means much for the future camp of mining in the arid regions Of the west.

Weller has gpent his time inspecting his company $ property and the workings. In speak ing of what Mir. Dudley has so far accomplished, he said to the Guardian man II was simply amazed tO see what
 MT Dudley has accomplished in so short time. Everything at the camp goes like clock work His hoisting engine and air compressor are both working in magnificent style and everything is under cover, and the shaft is going right down. I was not prepared to see such a magnificent property either. Of course I am no miner, but what know of mineral formation, and with our facilities for doing rapid work l,
 am positive we will uncover large bodies
 of ore before very long. '-Guardian.

SHANNON QUARTERLY REPORT.

The shannon copper company has Just issued its regular yearly state ment for quarter ending Oct. 3l, pre- pared for the regular meeting of the stock holders; which was,~held on the 9th of November. From the report Of the treasurer it Is learned that during the year the company paid sl, ,OO3. $50 for mines, and S24O ,014.S5 for mine development and smelter con- struction. The treasurer has on hand 9.091 shares of treasury stock aud s3O6. POP 39 in cash and bills payable. The following are extracts from Pres ident Carter's report: The Com pany now controls B c-aTrhs and frac- tions, consisting of over 600 acres. During the year ending October 3l, 1901, the Shannon Copper company ran 5l29 lineal feet of development work for the year ending Octob.r 3l, 1901. 56li feet. The development work for the year has been more than satisfac- tory in opening up large ore bodies, giving ore in sight su fficient 70 keep the present plant in operation Tor many years. The ore on the lower levels is of better grade than the sur face ores. The property can be work eu lO Il utIlu Ol llOO lctb bN NhhhI4Ss thus avoiding hoistiug and pumping, which are large items in mining ex- pcnse. A the present time it is the intention of the company to work the ores above the BoulderShannon level, which Is 360 feet below the apex of the mountain All the workings above this level are connected with it so that the ore can he dropped to it. From the mouth of the tunnel the ore will be trammed 600 feet to the head or the Incline, where 1t is dropped 100 tO the railroad and hauled eight miles tu the shelter on the San Franciso river at Clifton. Here the company owns q large tract of land most suitably located for reduction works and other purposes, which they have connected with the railroad from the mine with three miles of railroad (including side tracks), giving ample facilities for handling large tonnage. The shelter site is so located that the ore can be handled en. tircly by gravity and at a minimum cost. Two 250-ton water jacket furn- aces are now being installed and will be in operation shortly after January l, 1902. Plans are being made for d 500- ton concentrator and a converter plant. on which it is hoped work will be com menced at an early datey--Liberal.
