Deep Mining in Arizona.

The Los Angeles Herald recently published an interview with an Ari- zona mining man concerning deep mining in Arizona, part of which is here given:
 The United Verde mine at Jerome, with shafts and drifts on it 100 feet deep. was offered for sale fourteen years ago without any buyer. At last w. A. Clark of Montana, took the property and after sinking to a depth of 300 feet he had 96 feet of solid ore, and at 300 feet, it is reported, the ore body is 450 feet wide. Clark has re fused Sl00, ,000, 900 for this mIne. The Congress mine, at depth of l5O feet, was considered as fraud by no less a person than Diamond Joe, and now, at a depth of 2,S00 feet, it Is held at S3,000, GOO. The Fortuna mine, at l5O feet, was bought by Charles Lane for sl40,000, now at depth of 600 feet you could not buy it for $3,000. 900. The King of Arizona was sold for but S3O,000 when at a depth of 100 feet. while today at depth of 300 feet it IS held at S1,000,000 The famous Cop per Queen mine of Bisbee, at depth of 200 feet was about to be sold for debt. Now at SO0 feet it has sufficient ore in sight to run fifty years, and m Tt EItx hx.T Trf.xI ttaah King mine was 5000 in debt when down l65 feet. Now it cannot be pur chased for sl, 100000 The Pierce mine was sold for s215, ,000 when depth oI l50 feet had been reached. It is now producing Sl50,00O monthly, and is not for sale. You hear mining men speak of the United Verde ledge. There is no ledge there and there never was one. On the surface there was large number of small stratas which led from the surface to the deposit in the heart of the mountain. These string CTS were sent out merely to invite the prospector's pick. You hear of the ledge of the Verde variously estimated at from 250 to 300 feet in width. There is, as a matter of fact, no end to the great deposit or zone up to the present development of the mine. The ex- pression ''there is a mountain of it," which you often hear in the hills, can be implied to the Verde with i'm punity. 1t is without question the biggest mine in the world"

Timed Foods.

When tin IS purchased it should be examined externally before use. If the ends of the tins bulge Gutwards instead of being somew hat sucked in, the article should be rejected, tor the tin Is 'biown"; the gases generated Oy the decomposition of the food have collected and are exerting pressure on the tin. The dishonest manufacturer and dealer know this sign of decompo- sltion, and when the effect is noticed they prick the ends, and after allow ing the gases to escape they reseal the tin. Such pricked tins usually have two dabs of solder on the end of the tin in place of the ordinary one. The odor and appearance of the food should be very carefully noted when a tin is first opened. Any taint of decompo- sition, however slight, should be suffi- cient to condemn the timed food. - British Medical Journal.

NEW STAR DISCOVERED
ick Observatory Keeps Watch on the Celestial Wonder. Spec
 trum Peculiar,

SAN JosE, Cal, Feb. 24.-Tbe fol Blowing special was received by the \ Mercury tonight from Director Camp \ hell of the Lick observatory; Our l first opportunity for securing observa' tions of Auderson's new star, discov- cred in Edinburgh on the 2lst, oc- cured today, in the forenoon. The star was easily found in full sunlight with l2.inch telescope. At l. a. m. it was fully half magnitude brighter than the first magnitude star, Capella, with which it was compared, The entire resources of the Lick observatory are devoted this evening to securing observations of this very interesting object At ' P. m, 1t was fnlIy half magnitude fainter than Capella, decline of whole magni- tude since noon. Its brightness has continued to decrease throughout the evening,
 Its accurate position, ss observed hy Prof. Tucker, is; Right ascension, 2 hours, 24 min, 2S sec, and declpation l3 deg. 33 min and 54 sec. On exam ming our star charts and catalogues WE find that no star as bright as the tenth magnitude has heretofore occu- pied this position so that this brilliant object occupies position that was previously vacant
 The cause of this sudden outburst cannot now be stated. It may be due to A collision between two dark bodies, or to internal disturbances m one dark body or to other and unknown causes
 The star has beeu observed with the Mills spectroscope. Its spectrum IS peculiar, in that 1t contains no trace uf either bright or dark lines in the blue and violet Its light appears to be tremely broad bands exist This Is very unusual in the case of new star
 Additional observations for various purposes have been secured with the other instruments of the observatory, but their results will not be known for many weeks.
 Some 20 new stars have been dls- covered and recorded since the Cbrs- tian era. The present one Is the brightest since those found hy Tycho Brahe and Kepler. about the year l6OO There are perhaps no celestial objects which are of greater interest to astronomers than these new stars. Their study is very important, in that they throw light on questions concern ing the origin of the stars and their relations to one another
 This new star can be seen by all in the constellation, Perseus, of which il is now the brightest member,

To Develop the Navajo Reservation.

Some sort of an agreement has at last been made between certain chiefs of the Navajo Indians and the officials of n Salt Lake mining company. giv- ing the latter prospecting and locating rights on the Navajo reservation, and already an expedition to explore the latter is on the road. The secretary Of the interior is of course aware of the scheme. It is reported that the Indians have been guaranteed by the company a royalty of five per cent of the net output of any and all mines that may be located and worked. The exploring syndicate has taken out a good outfit and is said to be well backed financially. The region to be examined is the Carizzo range, lying below the TJh parallel (which consti- tutes che southern boundaries of Utah and Colorado and straddiing the l09th degree of west longitude, which lies a few miles east of the boundary be- tween New Mexico and Arizona For more than twenty years past it has been well known among mining men that there is gold and good ore of var ious kinds In this range. Many sam pies have come out Many attempts have been made by moderate sized parties to enter and prospect system aticaliy, but the Indians have guarded their rights well. Now that their con sent Is obtained, 1t will be very few years until pressure will begin for their removal. And there are really no good reasons why they should not give way y.- Mining Reporter.

The use of the suns rays for mining purposes was first brought to our attention q num- Der of ears ago, in Cerbat, by an Eng lishman named Calver, who had or ganized mining company and erected a mil at Beal springs, evidences Of which still remain. His mines were too far from his mill and wood was also scarce article. Naturally the scheme fell through and Ualver turned his attention GO tue sun and heat for power.

gauization." says member of the COM
mittee. 1T would throw the work on the
unsalaried committees, where 1t would be
handled with verve and a breadth that
no Director General could give 1t. 1t would
make the Executive Committee the chief
executive agency and the President the chief
executive"
Some of the members of the committee
want me to be both President and Director
General" says President Francis. but
won't hear of 1t. The President must sus-
tain certain relations with outside agencies
that touch the Fair and he would be ham,
pered X he were Director General as well.
We shall find Director General presently
1t Is considered certain that Isaac 8. Tay-
lor as Director of Works, would not submit
to scrutiny or supervision of his work
by a Director General. All this tends tc
strengthen the position of those who favor
conducting the Fairs business without q
