The Arizona sentinel., 1901-01-02

A company is being organized in Ohio towork the old Tombstone mines. The Grand Central and Contention mines closed down many years ago because of the expense necessary to rebuild a pumping plant of sufficient mag nitude, but the Chicago Record says a party of capitalists of Youngstown, Ohio, are prepar- ing to organize a company to develop those properties. Both of the mines mentioned pay well from the grass roots and during the days when silver found a ready sale these mines were great dividend payers. It is sincerely to be hoped that this report is true, as it would once more make Tombstone resound to the music of by-g gone prosperous days Gazette.

An old Arizona industry seems to have been revived. It is that of stage robbing. The robbery occurred to the stage running between Hot Springs Junction and Castle Creek hot springs, the place selected being three miles from Hot Springs. The only occupants of the stage were the driver and bag containing $50 in silver. A lone highway man appeared on the scene and with a pistol leveled at the driver he made him get out, while he assisted the $50 sack out and took it away with him.

nulhatton'S Jokes.

Joe MulhattOn, once the most versatile liar and joker in the United States, nov confined in the insane asylum at Phoenix, is credited with the following, by the Louisville Courier Journal:
 Mulhatton, while hardware drummer, advertised himself as the agent of a great furrier of New York. In these announce ments he stated that ordinary house cats were in great demand and that he would pay the largest market price for cats if they were delivered in Leitchfeld on a certain day. On the day men, tioned it seemed as if every far mer in Grayson county had secur- ed all the cats in his neighbor- hood, had boxed them, and hauled them to town, for Leitch- field was full of wagons loaded with cats.
 Of course Mulhatton was not there, and the farmers, becoming "sore," turned all the cats loose on the town, and Leitchfeld was so overrun with cats that a shot gun quarantine was put in opera tiOn until all of them were ex- terminated.
 However, some merchant of Leitchield, who knew that Null hatton worked for a local hard ware company, boxed up a big crate of cats and shipped them to the firm. No one in the firm knew what the box contained until it was opened in the store. The building was at once hlled with scared cats which gave the proprietors much trouble before they were disposed of.
 Mulhatton once upon time had printed a story to the effect that he had witnessed the fall of an enormous meteor in a certain part of Texas. He gave all the details, the name of the town, county, etc., and stated that the heat from the meteor had des- troyed the crops for miles about. Nearly all the big universities in the country sent professors to the spot to make scientific inves- tigations. People from hundreds of miles about also focked to the scene; but to date no one has discovered exactly where the meteor fell.

Bet Wife AainSt a Farm.

Horace Wade of Tipton, Indi- ana, lost a fine farm on the re- suit of the last national election, and Francis l.. TerbOtt is the winner. It is one of the most peculiar bets on record.
 Terbott in talking with Wade made the remark that he was so sure of McKinley's election that he would bet his wife on the re- suit. Wade, as quick as a flash, said, "I will wager my 100O-acre farm agalnst your wife on Bryan.
 The agreement was written out and the hotel clerk was made stake holder. Then the question arose as to what the wife would say.
 Taking a telegraph blank, Terbott wrote "Wade wants to bet his farm against you on Bryan. Is it a go? Answer.
 In due time he received the reply: "Go ahead. It's a sure thing"
 The wager was accordingly made. Terbott is now the own CT of one of the finest farms in the state of Indiana and he and his wife live on it in ease and comfort.

When discussing Arizona mines it might be we'll to remember that the United Verde, the Cop per Queen, the Congress, the Toughnut, the Clifton and the Vulture mines in this territory were all condemned by mining experts. Professor Douglass, who is now at the head of the Copper Queen, condemned that property years ago. He also put his condemnation seal upon the United Verde of Jerome. Yet these are two of the worlds great mines. This is only an exempli- fication of how far an expert can look into a solid wall of rock. A mining expertis like newspaper man. He thinks he knows a whole lot, when, as matter of fact, he only fools himself Gazette.

Ruins of the Desert.

It has been a source of great annoyance to me that Southern California could not boast of more ruins than she possesses. I have gazed on the tumbling walls of Capistrano mission in deepest reverence, only regret ting that they did not go back into the mysterious unknown of Arizona's Casa Grande. Ihave visited San Luis Key, San Diego, San Gabriel, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez missions and in each case have been tempted to explode a stick of dynamite under them to make them look as old as they really are. It is evident that l have the instinct if not the knowledge of an arch@ologist-am, in fact, a veritable crank in my admira tion of the antique.
 One can understand the joy that sprang into being, then, when I stood near the old But terfeld stage road from San Diego to Yuma and discovered older looking ruins than 1 had before beheld in California. A half a mile to the eastward was the Colorado river rushing down ward to the almost unknown Gulf of California. Within an easy rife shot to the south was one of the monuments marking the border line between Mexico and the United States. The wildness of the scene even al at that time was suggestive o1 what it might have been in the long ago. A score of Yuma Indians were camped a short dis. tance away, and I thought the crumbling walls were perched high upon the crest of steer hill that their fort-like charac- teristics might give better pro lection from warning aborigines.
 Near by in a pool of water Mexican woman was washing clothes, having brought them over from Mexico for launder. ing, regardless of impost duties.
 I tried my best to find out something regarding the beauti, ful ruins. None of the English speaking people could throw any light on the subject, and began to conjure to my mind a fanciful skit which should appropriately set forth their romanticiSm.
 At last 6 brilliant idea occurred to me to get a friend to ask the woman regarding the ruins.
 Did she know the history ot the ruins?
 Si, senor, they were the ruins of a saloon.
 The Skit was not written. The romanticism had evaporated.- Edgar F. Howe.

Mining Intelligence.

- - AO O~N ~N~ developing a group of copper claims in the Black Hills, about ten miles south of Jerome and six miles from Cherry creek station on the P. & B. railroad with very encouraging results. He has a three foot ledge of ore which gives a value of $19.00per ton in gold and four per cent in copper for distance of eighty feet down an incline shaft which follows the dip of the ledge.
 w. H. Ferguson had some as says made on Monday, of ore from his mines south of Mayer, with a view of making a ship ment. One lot gave returns of a fraction less than 40 per cent in copper, while the other gave a value of 14 per cent in copper. These claims are located south of Mayer and east and little north of Cordes, near the old Clanton ranch.
 The Journal Miner has receiv- ed numerous letters of late ask ing for detailed information con- corning the business of the Val Verde Copper company, limited. A great many of these letters cannot be answered except by some one connected with the company, as neither the editor of the Journal Miner nor the public generally is possessed of the desired information. The following information will an swer many of the questions, or in fact, all that informant is possessed of. The Val Verde company has erected a shelter on the Agua Fria river about twenty four miles from Prescott. It is a modern plant of most inn proved pattern and has capa- city of two hundred tons of ore per day. The cost of the plant is alleged to have been S2OO, ,OOO. There is an abundance of water in the river just below the smell ter. A railroad spur about a mile or mile and a halfin length extends from the Prescott & Eastern railroad to the brow of the hill above the smelter and a tramway runs from the railroad to the ore bins of the plant. A town has been laid off called Val Verde, and several houses built. The smelter is located convenient ly to one of the best mineral sec tions in Arizona, and several tons of ore have been purchased, which lies in the bins, the plant never having been started although completed for nearly two years. The reason for the delay is not known. The company also owns some mining claims in CoconinO county, said to be copper prop critics. Final entry in the land office, with a view of securing patent was recently made of four of these claims embracing a little over eighty-two acres in the az gregate. Whether the company owns other claims, not included in this group, is not known. So far as known, it has no mines in Yavapai county, it's only hold ings in this county being the smelling plant above referred to. Journal Miner.

 For your prayers have known; The Old for you shall brighter grow And I the New Year now bestow-

Comfortable Footwear.

Bucksin shoes are not commonly
seen in Portland, though the old In
dian moccasin may not be much of q
curiosity, so when an Arizona man
appeared with a pair on his feet he
attracted some attention. A promi-
nent cattleman of the land of cactus
and hot sands who is in the city never
wears any other shoes. The uppers
are regular 1ndian-tanned buck; the
ssles are of sole leather, and he says
they are just like a, stocking to the
| feet, Although buckskin is supposed
to be lasting material, buckslin
shoes cannot be worn in the wet, and
they would not do in the plowfield or
the harvest field. The buckslSin came
from deer he killed in the Arizona
mountains. and he paid ten dollars
to have two pairs of shoes made. He
thinks people who box their feet up
in stiff calfskin are missing whole
lot of ease and comfort in life.-Port-
land Oregonian.

Both in same Grave.

A good story is gotten off on the
legal profession, which runs about as
follows:
In certain community a lawyer died
who was most popular and worthy
man, and among other virtues inscribed
upon his tombstone was this: "A law
yer and an honest man"
Some years afterward a farmers al
lance convention was held in the town,
and one of the delegates, being of al
sentimental turn, visited the "silentt
city" and in rambling among the
tombs. was struck with the inscrip-
ton: ga lawyer and an honest man."
He was lost in thought. and when run
upon by fellow hayseed, who, MOTTO
ing his abstraction, asked if he had
found the grave of dear friend or rela-
tive, said: mo, but l am wondering
why they c'me to bury these two fell
lows in the same grave. "-Philadelphia
