primitive, and young man who desires TO
take unto himself a wife must be prepared
to pay a certain number of cows for her.
A year or two ago a comely girl was worth
ten or dozen cows, but today any village
belle can be bought for two cows and an OK,
the reason being because disease has been
raging among the cattle for some time, and
as natural result their price has greatly
increased.
young man who has decided to go a-woo-
Ing begins by consulting matchmaker, or
go-between, who is known as the "am-
pousia." The-latter, If he approves of the
match, goes to the girl for her consent and
after obtaining it he calls on her father and
tells him of his project.
The suitor next brings forward the cattle
which he proposes to give for the girl and
his future father-in-law inspects them close
ly. If he likes them, all goes well, but If he
does not like them, the suitor is obliged to
offer others In their stead. AS soon as this
important detail has been satisfactorily ar
ranged the suitor casts a lance into the
ground In front of him as token that on
his part the compact will be kept. min
ute or two later the girl removes the lance
and hands it to her father, but the latter de-
clines to accept 1t, whereupon the happy
bride uses it as goad to drive toward him
the cattle which represent her market value.
Such are the complicated marriage rites
among these uncivilized negroes. In them
the go-between plays an important part, and
even after the marriage he may be called
upon to act. for If the wife should prove un-
faithful to her husband, 1t is his duty to 60 to
her father and compel him to restore the
cattle which were paid for her.

CURIOUS ADVICE TO GUESTS.
,oSs4g1---:@Ss

That our ancestors were not so well man
nered as we are is evident from the follow
ing rules, which were laid down by Tom
masin Won Zirkler, a German poet in regard
to the conduct of a host and his guests at
dinner party. These singular maxims were
recently unearthed, and have now been re-
printed.
Every host should take care that his
guests have enough to eat, and that they are
not served with dishes which they do not
want. In return, the guests should behave
properly, and should be satisfied with what
ever is placed before them.
"a guest should not eat all his bread be-
fore the first dishes are served, neither
should he eat with both hands nor drink nor
talk when his mouth is full.
"It is not polite to turn toward ones neigh
Dor and to offer him wine cup from which
one is still drinking.
zone should not eat greedily and hastily,
as though the dinner had been paid for,
neither should one take any food from his
neighbor's plate. In word, each person
should accept what is offered to him and
ask for nothing else.
.When there is some one sitting on the
right hand it is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
''While one is drinking the eyes should be
steadily fixed on the wine cup.
at is improper to place ones hand in a
dish while another person is taking some
food from it.

Mrs. Shackleford had forgotten all about
the incident when Mrs. Neal came in Sunday
afternoon. They were seated in the parIor
when loud peals Of laughter emanated from
the dining-room.
'The butler, goosie!'' smiled the guest.
''The butler-our butler laughIng?"
Certainly, told you that could make
him laugh"
'How-how in the world did you do it?'

are not high or steep. and resemble more rolling hills. There is an abund- ance of tlmber suitable for both fuel and mine timberng within easy dis tance and accessible by wagon. The Altar river is a perennial stream, hay ing a good flow of never-failing water, more than sufficient to supply the ranches along it's banks. It's waters can very easily be made available for use upon the Montana Verdi by the construction of ditch to tap the stream a snort distance above the mine. and the company is now negotiating with the owner of large water rights In the river. for the purchase of Il right to divert sufficient water to supply the property in this manner for all time to come.
 The group as a whole is not especial ly rough, being rather undulating, but the surface over nearly the entire area is much broken by almost innumerabe rock croppings and prominences of all shapes and sizes. These croppings do not appear to be in ledge formation. but project in the form of great de-
  any regularity whatever in the manner of their emplacement. Everwhere they show a vivid green in color, and examination shows them to bs largely carbondtes of copper, oxides of copper and cXldss of iron, of all kinds ard grades, the carbonates predomnating. In ths depressions between these mass es of croppings. the surface is earth which evidently has been formed to a considerable extent from the decompo- sition of the rock cropplngs, judging from its appearance. and is strewn ever with small pieces of float of the same general character as the rock. This earth or dirt. however, is very superficial. and it is only nec- ssary to dig a short distance bafore rock closely resembling the surface crcppings is en- vountsred. Assays of this surface rock made after returning to Jerome, show that 1t will run on an average six per cent in copper. and Mir Mitchell is Of the opinion that there is enough of it in sight to fully justify the installation at once of 100-ton blast furnace on the property and ths commencement of smelling operations on a substantial scale The cost of freighting to and from santa Ana would be more than overcome by the cheapness of both labor and fuel. The established. wages of drill men Is g per 6ay in Mexican money. or s1 in gold. Outside men re- ceive s1.75 per day. S7i4 cents in gold. Hard wood for steam can be bought at s2.50 per cord in god.

 The cost of labor Is the same as at he Montana Verdi. The coifipaily flow have at work all the force that can De worked to advantage, and will con- tinue On at the rate of two shifts a day.
 There are three excellent prospects in the SIn dose group outside of the mine itself The ore lh these Is in the form of carbonates and oxides aild IS found in veins three to five feet wide, one of which can be readily traced for Q long distance. Another is capped on a hill by an immense hematite ircn mass which itself carries copper All these have good wasof, roads from one another and to the mine.
 Ten additional pentenencias have been taken up by the company along the side lines of the San Jose to pre- vent future possible interference.
 Although freghting by wagon to and from Altar or even Tucson is not eX- psnsive owing chiefly to the splendid 
 roads, |. will not be long that this means of transportation will have 10 be depended upon, for narrow guage railIcai is now under process of con- struction from point on the Gulf or California 70 Altar and probably to connect with the Sonora road. From statements made by Mir. Holmes. who is the chief projector and manager or the road, 1t was learned that the route already selected will bring it within short distance from both properties, and particularly the San Jose, that route being naturally the most favorable for construction.
 Messrs. Mitchell and Cordiner ex- press themselves as more than satis- fed with the properties, and feel safe in saying that the representations made as to their merit prior to the first issue of stock fell far short of doing justice.

THE ALTAR COPPER MINING
 COMPANY.
(From the Jerome Mining News.)

(From the Jerome Mining News)
 Since the return of Messrs. Robert Mitchell and Arthur 'Cordiner from their visit to the properties of the Altar Mining Company in Altar dis trict. Sonora, Mexico. so many inquir- ies have been directed to them concern Ing the r suits of their investigations that they have decided to give out for publica ton statement of what they saw and learned for the information of those who purchased the first issue of stock, as well as the public generally Accordingly they have authorized the following. with the assurance that spe- Cial care has been. obs rved to avoid Cxaggeration in every detail. and give only the exact facts. This assurance coming from these well known gentle men is quite sufficient to satisfy those acquainted with their characters and high standing in this community. For the benefit of others. however it may be added that they are both old resi- dents of Jerome, and man in whom their friends and acquaintaEces have found reason to place implicit conn- dsnce. MT.

 The properties of the Altar Copper Mining company consists of two groups comprising 1SS pertenenc.as, or about 345 acr,s, all under patent from the Mexican government.
