PROSPERITY GROUP
Old Copper Basin Property Being
 Opened Up.

The Prosperity group of mines, near Copper basin. is demonstrating the cor rectness of the judgment of Captain l.. D. Phillips, who, after an examination of it, recommended Douglas. Lacy -Sc Co.,, the firm he represents in Arizona, to purchase it When he made the purchase for the above firm, says the Journal-M it was nothing more than q prospect, but it was a very promising prospect and gave indica- tiOns of being possessed of the quality of making a mine
 Since taking charge of it Captain Phillips has continued sinking the in- cline shaft and is now down to a depth of eighty. feet, where he has eight feet of high grade ore. The ore runs 9 per cent in copper besides carrying a percentage of silver and lead, and IS also fairly rich in gold.
 A whim has been erected for hoisting the ore and a boarding house has been completed and the camp being built up in a permanent manner. At present only two shifts are being worked, but very soon a third shift will be put n the shaft as it is Captain Phillips pur- pose to push development just as rap idly as possible. Messrs. Moore and Grove. from whom the group was pur- chased made wages three four times over in working the mine prior 10 its sale and had a good body of ore in the bottohm of the shaft when Cap tain Phillips made the purchase. The ore body has been gradually increas ing both in width and richness as depth has been made, the ore body being con unuous and the richest ore found has been taken from it's deepest workings.
 The group comprises four claims, the C. &. the U. S. Extension, Surprise and Little Dee. The "old U. s." as the principal mine is known, has quite a history connected with it, having been located, partly worked, abandoned. re- located and again abandoned a num- Der of times. This, however. was be- lore railroad days. and at q time when prospectors wanted to sell their claims at about an average of S1 900 per foot Tor development work done. The same persistent energy in working the claim Tn the early days that was shown by Messrs. Moore and Grove and since by the new purchasers would have placed the property years ago on the dividend paying list of mines, as it would have paid its way even under the old regime or wagon freighting, if any one had owned 1t who would have worked it.
 The claims are located on the Skull valley slope of the mountains. dividing mat valley from Copper Basin. and II IS understood that one of the improve
 hents contemplated by the prescn; owners is the building of a four-mile spur of railroad from Skull valley sta ton to the mines.

CORDES NOTES.

A new copper discovery has been made near Cordes by Charles Van Walckenburg. Mir. Van Walckenburg has mined and prospected in Yavap1i county for the last twenty-five years. and after all this perseverance he has made q very favorable discovery. This new discovery is about two feet wide and laws in a contact between slate and porphyry and granite. He has not yet had assay on it. but from what he has ''horned' it will go about 15 per cent copper and some gold.
 MT. Cordes. MT. Armil and MT. Fer guson have some good prospects over near F'ria creek and about five miles north of Richenbar. One of the claims has a quartz ledge about six feet wide and assays S1O in gold and about 90 per cent copper.-Courier.

INVENTED THE DIAMnNp DRILL

Inventor of the diamond drill, a de- vice which has added millions to the minsral wealth Of the world Ashe! J Severance. died irpoverty last Tuesday and was buried by the many friends he has made during his long residence in Denver. says the Post.
 One hundred thousand dollars. a mere moiety of what .he patent was really worth, was reaMzed by Sever arce and his paI,ners for the diamond drill some years age. This monay Clowever. was lost in investments and dESsipated by Severance's partnsrs. so the old man for several years has had no property except his patents for d process of making Damascus steel.
 So many inventors have claimed to have undiscovered this valuable secret that Sevei ance found difficulty in making any capitalist believe he had actually found the secret. and it was only recently that Damascus steel pat ents seemed convertible into money Confident in ,he final triumph of hi; ideas Severance went on with his work and waited for cap1sal to come to him. Some of his frieI5s. however. were more energetic. and interested an eastern capitalist in the Damascus st-ees patents. Now, just as is scene l sure the old man was to receive enough to make him independent for the rest c. his days, death struck him down. It is probable that the patents will be sold during ,he next few months, and that his relatives will get many thou sands of dollars for them.
 Ashel J. Severance was born in Atch- ison county. Vermont. in December, 1929. In 1870 he first came prominently before :'.Ie mining world In that year he and his partners sold the diamond criE device for s1OO. 900. Shortly after -haS he came tS Colorado. and from that time on was interested in many mining ventures At the time of his death he owned stock in the San Juan mine at Central City.
 Some two years ago MT. Severance s wife, who had gone east for her health died and since shat time he has taken little ir.e est in his work. The bright wmirIi seemed obscured by grife for his wife. and the cid man spent hours in h. workshop without touching d tool Since his wife's death he has made Ets | home at Mrs. Arnold $ boarding house moving when she moved. MT. Sever ance has several brothers and ono daughter. who is the wife of eN-Gov- ernoi' Knapp of Alaska and who re- sides in Seattle. His funeral was large.y attended and services were conducted by tine Rev. pr. Beach. The i Ec1y was inferred at Riverside.

A CONVENIENT HANDLE.

Umbrella handles have for some time contained compasses, watches and a vast array of similar effects. It re- mains for this season, however. to bring out something new. This is an umbrella handle in the form of turtle made of gold and silver in the popular Holland gold and oxidized silver conl- bination. This form, by the way. is very much in vogue, especially in fine handles Of a fancy order. In this par ticular instance the design formed was a turtle, the back of which opened an,i disclosed q small smelling bottle.

There is nothing like Asthmalene. It brings instant relief, even in the worst cases. It cures when all else fails.
 The REV. c. F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge, H., says: Your trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I cannot tell you how thankful I feel for the good derived from it. I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and Asthma for ten years. l despaired of ever being cured.

To my astonishment, the trial acted like charm. Send me a full-sized bottle.'
