cent OF the ore is pure copper.
The Mount Washington copper mine
was started before the civil war and was
worked until 1866, when it was abandoned
because OF the small demand for the ore
ana the low price which it brought The
great demand for copper in recent years
for electrical work the consequent in
crease in the value OF the metal and i'm
proved methods Of reducing ore have
brought about the reopening of many old
mines

pany was organized several months ago
and control of the old mine was secured.
About five months ago the new company
began work The water was first pump
ed out and the necessary machinery was
installed About month ago the actual
working of the mine was started! and
since then the work has progressed salts
factorily- About forty men are now en-
plOyed

\ distinguished native writer who for
a quarter Of a century was a high official
in the Indian revenue service has issued
n pamphlet in which he ascTibes Indian
famine conditions to British oppression.
He says that while droughts and crop
failures are frequent in different parts
of the country. they are never universal.
and that the general crops are always
ample to feed the whole population. But
the outrageous taxation of the agricuI-
turaI class. amounting to onc-thirG Of
their production in the southern and one
half of the land rental in the northern
provinces. has 50 Impoverished the people
that they are without means to buy food
when their own fields fail to yield. The
famine in Bombay is entering upon its
third year of horror, and according to the
authority above referred 20 IS growing

features and has little trade, so taxation

Capt. S. S. jerks died Wednesday
morning at the residence of DIR. r. A.
Alton in Wilcox. Capt. Jenks was a
native of Pennsylvania, but had spent
the major portion of his time on the
western frontier. In early days he
freighted in California and to Arizona
points long before the Southern Pacific
was built. He also freighted from Wilcox
to Globe before the 6 V G & Northern
wasbuilt. OF late he had been in the em-
ploy of J. B. Parks The cause OF his
death was old age. having reached the
age of rs. He was buried in the Will
cox cemetery Wednesday afternoon.
The range News says that Capt. jerks
is well-known amang ell the old timers,
and everyone has word OF praise for
him. One by one the pioneers who blax-
. ed the way for civilization over the in
hospitable mountains and deserts of
Arizona are disappearing from the scene
of action, and are gathered with the
silent majority.
Don ah Look is a Chinese lad who
was raised in Tucson. His father was q
prosperous Chinese merchant and his
mother was Mexican woman. The
parents are both dead, and the little
fellow has been brought up by friends
of the family. He has relatives living
in China who want to take the child and
educate him and Don ah Look will soon
leave Tucson for the far east. Having
been born in the United States he is q
lawful citizen of this country, and hav-
ing lived in Tucson he will some day
want to return, for ell who leave this
ancient pueblo one day come back. To
be sure that the custom house officers
will let him enter the country when he
has grown to manhood, Sam Hughes
and J. Knox Corbett lent their kind Of.
fees in his behalf and fled an affidavit,
with the picture of the Chinese boy ae-
companying it, to the effect that the
child was born in Tucson, and stating
that he goes to China to acquire an edn-
cation and will perhaps want to return
to this country later on.
