Chinese Daoks swim to Market.

Chinese Ducks twin to Market.
Chinese farmers do not take their
ducks toy market in crates, but drive
them into the waters Of the grand
canal and compel them to furnish
their own motive power. Usually the
duck "crop" Of a whole district is
brought together and started to market
in charge Of men in boats, and the
sight Of several thousand birds swim
ming ina compact mass along China's
great water roads a novel one in
deed. Julian Ralph, the traveller, met
such q procession one day. The mass
of ducks was several acres In extent,
and went along at q pace much faster

formation by long bamboo poles with

Tales About Arizona.

Arizona has an area of 1850 square
miles.
The Territory of Arizona was or,
ganized February "a, 1868.
Arizona in 1900 produced 27OOOO005
worth of copper
Arizona's assessed taxable property
exceeds, in value, 35OOOOOOS.
Arizona has population of over
$4,000, and it is fast increasing.
Arizona has over 100000 acres of
unsurveyed land.
There are only three states and one
territory having each a greater area
than Arizona. They are California,
Montana, Texas and New Mexico.
Arizona's production of copper, gold
and silver in 1900 amounted to 4,O0O.-
COOS; nearly 4J05 for every man, woman
and child in the Territory.
From the year 1890 down to 1900 the
lowest price of copper in the Uuited
States was 0 cents a pound; that was in
June, 1894. The highest price was in
July, 1861, when it was worth So cents
a pound.
From 1888 to 1909, inclusive, Arizona
has produced 1901 80 pounds of
copper, worth, taking the average price
per pound during those eighteen years,
l42,000,OO0S.
All copper authorities are agreed
that Arizona will, in few years, be
the leader in the production of copper
in the United States.
Arizona has the largest unbroken
pine forest in the United States, cover.
ing an area of 6,0J0 square miles.
The United States government gave
Mexico lO,OOO,O00S for the southern
portion of Arizona and New Mexico.
Yet there were patriots" in those days
who denounced the transaction, saying
that it was money thrown away.-Los
Angeles Mining Review.

By rider to an appropriation bill of
the Fifty-sixth congress, a small strip
of mineral land comprising about one
half section) was segregated from the
San Carlos Indian reservation. II lies
about seven or eight miles south of the
San Carlos agency, aud was included
in the first survey of the Deer Creek
coal fields strip, but was left out of the
second and accepted survey. Although
small the recently segregated area is
believed to be very valuable. and its
detachment from the reservation was
accomplished through the efforts of
Congressman John b. Corliss and Car.
los ID. Sheldon of Michigan, who are in
terested in the reputed valuable min
eral deposits within the segregated
area. The locations made comprise
ten claims on which the preliminary
work has been performed, and cover
the site of an old mine which was
worked, apparently, a generation ago,
as pinyon tree, almost a foot in diam
eter, stands at the mouth of the an
cent tunnel, blocking entrance. There
are some four or five openings on the
old works, all in state of decay and
partially filled with debris. The crop
pings are strong and the mineraized
zone quite wide, the formation being
lime. A trial shipment of the ore
made short time ago gave gross val.
ues of from sos to 1908 per ton, and
netted 37S per ton, and as Analysed
showed A. per cent lead, per cent cop.
per and some gold and silver. A cross
cut tunnel recently driven struck the
ledge at a distance of 35 feet, where
work was discontinued temporarily.
The ledge is evidently large and the
values in the ore sufficiently high to
warrant the expectation of opening a
valuable mine.-Silver Belt.

apart a game and fish reserve and erect

contains the big Mammoth gold mine
caved in early this morning, destroy
ing the workings of the Mammoth
mine from the surface to the $50 foot
level. The people of the camp we're
aroused by the crash of the rocks and
the breaking tim ers Buildings in the
camp were shaken, and miners rushed
out of their houses believing an earth
quake bad come. The gaping hole in
the mountain told the story of one of
the greatest mine disasters, and prob
ably the most fortunate for the miners,
that has ever occurred in Arizona The
miners had just left the workings and
preparations were being made to pump
the water from the lower levels. The
portion of the mine was temporarily
abandoned, which accounts for the fact
that no lives we're lost. The damage
to the mine is estimated at 50,O.0S.

A Washington telegram, published
in the Los Angeles Times, says; Some.
thing of a furore is likely to follow the
announcement from Rome that women
in future will not be allowed to sing
in the choirs of the Roman Catholic
church of the United States. 1t Is re-
ported that the Congregation of Rites
now meeting in Rome is about to de-
cree to this effect. Another change
said to be contem plated is important.
This refers to "operatic" music, so
long in vogue, and which has proved a
drawing card for non-Catholics, which
is to be abolished and the simple Gre.
gorian" chant more generally substi
tute1, with the old fashioned choral
music of the earlier church. The bish-
OPP of Cincinnati is the first bishop in
this country to take this step of his
own volition, course which for the
last dozen years has been approved by
the Holy See. Followed by a large
German backing, the bishop has al
ready instituted the reform, and re
organized the choirs of all the churches
in his diocese. Women have been dis
missed and "operatic" music is no
longer to be used.
