CANANEA NOTES.

The production of bullion during the month of October, is 5000 GOO pounds which is far ahead of any previous month in the history of the company's operations. The management expects to do much better than this in the month of November, as in October unfortun- ately there has been several break downs, and shortage of fuel. For this reason the smelter has been closed down two days of the past week. This however, is due to the fact that avail able freight equipment is at this seas on being used In the grain and cotton trade.
 w. C. Green arrived in Cananea last Saturday evening from the east. He was here only two days. Monday night he went out on a special train bound for New Orleans, where business will detain him a few days before proceed ing to New York, where he goes to at tend meeting of stockholders.
 La Mexicana mine. formerly operated by Colonel Frank Morgan, will again be started up next week. MT. Morgan informs us that this company is now composed of New York capitalists, and that work will not be retarded for want of capital. He further states that the management is still retained by himself and that the Mexicana will soon be put in good shape. as he will put quite a number of miners to work at an early date.
 This means something for Cananea as the Mexicana Is only three miles | from us, and is a great producer run ming very high In silver and lead. These mines are among the oldest in the Cananea range and have been worked profitably for a long time The company now has some improved ma chinery on the ground and under the | able management of Mir. Morgan, we may look for some results in the near future.-Cananea Herald.

one-half miles from the city. Route No. will be northwest to a point be- tween Alhambra and Glendale and for some distance either side of Grand avenue. Route No. will be west of the city as far as the Madison school house.
 Examination of applicants for the po- sition of carrier on each of these routes will be held on Monday, November 10. information regarding which candi- dates can secure by applying to the postmaster. The applicants must pass the civil service examination and also
 be in a position to furnish horse and wagon and a substitute to do their work in case of their sickness or dis ability. There will be a separate ex- animation of applicants for each of the
 three routes by reason of the fact that a person who might reside in the center
 of one route might not be in a position to promptly perform the duties re- quired in another. Should more than one applicant for either route pass successfully those not employed will be put on the waiting list registry in the same manner as are the names of waiting list postofiice employees These examinations will be held at 9 a. m.. 1 D. m. and D. m. on the date named. Just how soon the routes will be es- tablished cannot yet be announced, as | they will have to be cared for by the | department in the order of their appli- cation. It is hoped, however, to have
 the routes established by January 1st.

ply of ores by the time the smelter was ready for operation. Before his depar- ture for Los Angeles last Sunday morning he appointed J. E. Ludy as To- cal agent for Yuma.
 The company will first erect one 5O- ton gold and copper furnace and one 40-ton, lead furnace. and additions to the smelter plant will be made as de- mands require.
 The company desires to hear from mine owners within reach of the smelt CT in order to ascertain the character and quantity of ores which can be shipped to them, and miners should at once place themselves in communica- ton with the secretary, MT. Rust.
 It is almost impossible to form an estimate of the benefits that will ac- crue to Yuma by the erection of this smelter. Never before in the history of Arizona have the mining interests been greater and the number of capi- talists in search of good properties larger and this section of the territory will get it's share of the capital seeking investment if the people bestir them- selves.
 With the completion of the new shelter now assured an impetus will be given to the development of the min eral wealth in this vicinity that will surpass even the hopes of the most en- thusiastic. There is no doubt that q large amount of ore can be secured in districts contiguous to the Colorado river and which for years has been shipped to San Francisco. A large per centage of tne ore available for the smelter is of lead base, and it is said that more than enough carbonates car be secured for the necessary flux The shelter proposition will be much aided by the low cost of water transporta- tion.

ject mention may be made of a letter received yesterday by the secretary of the board of trade from Gen. Wesley Merritt, industrial commissioner of the Santa Fe railroad, with headquarters at Chicago. MT. Merritt writes that recently the Santa Fe company has been running an ad in several import ant publications calling special atten- ton to Five Great Irrigated Valleys, " which refers of course to the San Joa- quin. the Salt River, the Rio Grande. the Pecos and the Arkansas. As a re- suit of these advertisements his de- partment has received letters from two hundred people asking for further lit erature and information on the sub- ject. These addresses he has furnish ed. to the secretary of the board as a preferred list of available people with whom to enter into correspondence re- garding this section-people who are already ipclired to go somewhere where the best opportunities are offer ed. Of this list there is little doubt that many will be permanent residents of this valley before another seasor rolls round

recently been sold and when the in tending purchaser came to look up the title he found a missing link. There had been no order of conveyance from the probate court. No such order had been filed in the office of the recorder and there was nothing in the probate court to show that such an order had been made there, though the fee book showed that the fee for such an order had been collected. Many of the pa pers in the estate were missing; in fact very few O: them were on record. The estate was accordingly reOpened and the order of conveyance was made.
 A foreign will was admitted to pro- bate in the estate of Maggie Howell and w W Kunkle was appointed ad- ministrator with a bond of $500. The
 bond was furnished and approved and letters were issued. The will of Anna Nj. Sampson was admitted and w. A-
 Rumney was appointed eXecutor. The will of H. Belen Du Pont of the firm engaged in the manufacture Of powder and explosives was admitted to probate and the widow Eleuthera Bradford Du Pont was appointed exc cutrix with a bond of SS,0O0. J. w

 of the tract of land lying north of the
 city and known as the PembertOn ranch.

MINING INVESTMENTS
Sensible Talk on Mining Companies
 and Mining Stock.

No matter how good or how bad
 property may be, a dishonest company
 is absolutely no good in either case. A bad property has been made to produce
 many time, and a good property has been ruined by bad company equally as many. The whole secret in mining is contained in these few words: "Is the company honest?" Let them prove to you their character, and I'll guar antee you results-yes, ninety times out of a hundred. In the first place, if the company is honest, they will not accept property unless it has favorable indications and ask the investor for his money; in the second place they will be careful and economical in all eX- penditures for the affairs of the com pany; fifth, they will rigidly apply business methods to mining, just the same as to any mercantile enterprise, and, sixth, they will strictly adhere to the golden rule. A man once said to me during a conversation. "I bought some stock in a mine, but I don't know what state 1t Is in" This man is cer- tainly a king of chumps" and surely deserves to lose his money, but the method of investing as adopted by this man is what has given mining a black
 eye time and again. People buy stock without ever Investigating. when they would be much wiser If they take their

SANTA FEE RATES REDUCED
Good News For Local Travelers-Im-
 migration Prospects.

Below is given bit of good news to Arizona people who travel around ex- tcnsively on business within the terri torial borders. From time to time spec ial rates have been made as an induce ment to eastern people to visit Arizona, but this announcement is for the ben eft of the home people and commercial men that make this territory.
 There is being placed on sale by the local Santa Fe line a one thousand mile mileage book which will sell at $30.00 or on a basis of three cents per mile. These mileage tickets will be good only on the line south of Ash Fork and it's branches. These tickets can be purchased by any one so desir
 ing, and will be limited to one year from date of sale. By this move the Santa F'e is virtually cutting it's pas senger fare over this division into halves, and which certainly must ap- pear most commendable taken from the stand point oi the travelling public, and one also that cannot fail to merit the heartiest approval. The reduction
 will mean a saving of thousands of dollars annually t9 the commercial travellers and interests represented by them.
 Pleasing results have also followed the cut rates made from the east. Dur ing the past three or four months con- siderable mention has been made of the remarkably low rates inaugurated by the Western Passenger association lines from points throughout the mid dle west to the Pacific coast, including Phoenix and the Salt River valley. These tickets, as an experiment, were on sale for the months of September
 and October. so that the period for the experiment closed but a few days ago. The rates made for tickets. which were known as Colonists tickets. were: S33.C0 from Chicago, and $25.00 from
 Kansas City. That these excursions
 were literally patronized and ~instru-
 mental in the introduction of many | tourists into this valley is evidenced
 by the records in the local Santa Fe office, which shows that 56S of this par ticular kind of tickets were honored into the Salt River valley by this line during the sixty day period they were on sale. These figures would seem to dispel the illusion that all of this spec ial rate passenger traffic had drifted | to the coast.

THE STROLLERS

Another record audience gathered al the Doris theater last night, the Oc- casion being the presentation of Smith and Englander's comic opera. "The Strollers," by the company headed by Miss Marguerita Sylva. Both the book and the music were pleasing. although the "catchy" airs are not numerous
 The story" of the opera is thinly pieced together. In brief it is the tale of two strollers. husband and wife, who have been overtaken by misfortune. They find in the road a diamond neck lace and a thousand-mark note which belong to the reigning prince, and the ludicrous situations arise from the en- barrassments which befal the couple by reason of their possession of the wealth.
 The company is a large one. com prising some seventy-five people, and it is very well balanced.
 The notable successes of the evening were made by Miss Sylva and her strolling husband" Mir. George C.. Boniface Jr., by MT. John D. Gilbert. the 'jailor,'' by MT. D. l..

money and cast it into the street, be- cause chances would be in that case that it would help some honest finder istead of some polluted fakir. There Is another class of investors who are equally as bad as dishonest companies and have caused more mines to be ruined and more losses to stockholders than one can scarcely realize, and these are the ones who invest their dollars on Monday and expect to reap divi- dends on Tuesday. Whatever an hon. est company does. steer clear of this kind of investments, because their clamor will ring in your ears from the time they hold stock. They imagine that all mine has to do is to put ip one shot and then commence picking money off the dump. They cannot re- alize that it takes time to make mino and sometimes it consumes years to reach a dividend paying basis. Mines are never located on boulevards where you can drive up in an automobile and pick up the ore with a pair of tongs: the ore never jumps out of the ground -gravitation has been provided to hold | 1t in and mineral of all kinds being of a heavier nature, settles closer to the center of gravitation rather than in the | tree tops where one could easily place a stepladder and pick off nuggets. Let good sound judgment be applied to mining industries and the day of the | fakir is at an end. Let honesty and honest companies enter the field O; mining and losses will be unknown among the stockholders; capital will be at call and the worlds wealth will be increased to such an extent that trusts
 and monopolies will be deprived of |
 field to operate in. Nature has giveI
 to man an honest deal-let man givt
 to nature one of a similar charactel
 and in doing this he not only benefit,
 himself but nature and mankind a.

HIS LEG AMPUTATED
Frank Goodrich's Prospects Are Now
 More Favorable.

The physicians of the M. and P. rail the case of Frank Goodrich, the fire man who was so dangerously hurt in the wreck at the Tempe bridge week ago Wednesday night, yesterday after noon amputated his left leg about three inches below the hip joint. Though the conditions were not what they should have been to guarantee a sue cessful operation, it was the only chance left to save the young mans life. He came out of the operation really better than was feared, and last night there was a very strong and well founded hope for his recovery.
 His left leg was scalded it's entire length and there was a large burned place on his right side, besides burns on his arms. It was feared from the first that the flesh of the leg was so badly cooked that gangrene would fol- low which it did. However it was worse than useless to operate till na- ture had indicated the proper place, the line of demarkation between the wasted tissue and the sound flesh. This unfortunately was so near to the hip the amputation in itself was a dan gcrOus operation, and it was difficult to remove the limb far enough up to se- cure the healthy tissue necessary for the proper healing of the wound. The next two or three days will be very anxious ones for those watching at his bedside, but at the present time he has
 good fighting chance to get well, and
 his natural strength and disposition are in his favor

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Deplorable Treatment of a Helpless
 Child.

Thirteen days ago, a little Mexican boy was living with his father in a wood camp a few miles from Bisbee. The father had several sticks of giant rock to protect it from the weather
 The little fellow. on the day mentioned, gathered up an old pair of overalls and undertook to cut the legs off to accom- modate his own little limbs, having no knife the little fellow laid them on the rock concealing the giant powder and was trying to chop the legs off with d CT exploded, tearing the little fellow g left hand off at the wrist, and baGly mangling the right hand. The father never reported the matter till six days later, when Dr. Edmundson was called to examine the case. At that time he said he could have saved three fingers on the right hand. The father ar ranged for the operation on the next day. The next day the father came up and backed out of the understanding. saying that if he had "the tools" he could do it himself. They very naturally declined to do so
 The father then wanted them to dress the boys hands and he would look af- ter the case thereafter. This they very properly declined to do, and reported the matter to the authorities. For some reason nothing was done, and yesterday after twelve days, during

which time the poor little creature suf- fered in the midst of neglect and filth he was again brought before the physi- clans. The doctor states that all he could have done for the child would have been to amputate the left arm between the wrist and elbow, and take off the right hand at the wrist, blood poison having developed with alarming symptoms. The father at last accounts was trying to get the boy to Tombstone for treatment. Everything considered it is one of the most wretched affairs in the history of Ar.zona.-Bisbee Re- view.

RURAL MAIL ROUTES
Examination of Carriers Will Be Held
 Next Monday.

The matter of the establishing of three rural postal delivery routes out of this city is now practically under way. Inspector J. P. Fogarty of San Francisco, who is connected with that branch of the postal service, arrived here yesterday and will be in Phoenix for several days. Yesterday he was driven over the proposed routes by Postmaster McClintock and their bOun- daries were practically determined.

PIMA WENT SOLID
Democrats Reported to Have Saved
 Nothing From the Wreck.


 Returns more Or less correct have been received from every precinct in the county but one, Johnstone. The vote there is known as to one or two of the offices, and for them the precinct went republican. According to the un- official figures which have been re- ceived, Kibbey's majority over Peter son for the council is r. McFalrs ma jority for the office of recorder is 27, and Phillips has been elected probate judge by majority of IS. There is no possibility that the official count will materially change any of these ma | jorities, for the figures have been ob- tained from different sources, demo- cratic and republican, and they have been accepted by both sides as prac- | tically correct.
 Nothing of any interest was heard yesterday from the territory in regard to the election of delegate, and it will perhaps be several days before the pre- else majority for Wilson will be known and it may not be known until after the official count.
 Word came from Tucson yesterday that the republicans of Pima county did better than the first returns indi- cated. It was at first given out tha1 the democrats had saved their candi- date for sheriff, one member of th' board of supervisors and Bernard fol the assembly. All these are now sait to have been defeated with the rest.
 The democrats will probably not hav' more than fifteen members in the nex assembly and the council will be prac tically a tie. There will be according to the claims of the democratic terri torial committee six democratic mem bers outside of Gila county. The coun cilman from that county was no elected on any party issue, but Wa endorsed by all parties.

The old proverb; vTo be at peace prepare-for war" is the secret of the farger part of life's successes, whether of nations or individuals.
 The difference between the healthy, happy mother who has healthy children to nurse and nourish, and the weak, nervous mother, with a weakling child, is mostly difference-of preparation.
 The great preparative for motherhood is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces refreshing sleep. 1t gives the mother strength to give her child. It imparts elasticity and strength to the organs of maternity so that the baby's advent is practically painless.

Funeral services for the Rev. Will liam c. Stockton, known from one end of New Jersey to the other as Path CT" Stockeon, the great camp meeting preacher. were held at the First MethO- dist Episcopal church, Vineland. a few days ago.
 Father Stockton was S3 years of age and for thirty years was one of the most conspicuous figures in the New Jersey Methodist Episcopal conference During the war he was chaplain of the Twenty-fourth regiment No camp meeting services were considered com plete without his great patriarchal fig ure and deep, melodious voice He was one of the pioneers of the Ocean Grove and Ocean City, but his popularity probably greatest at Putnam Grove.
 MT. Stockeon was a double of Henry Ward Beecher, the resemblance being so marked that he was often taken for the latter.

REsURRECTED ESTATE
Eight Years After It Was Believed
 to Be Closed.

The estate of James Strype, who has been dead so long that he had been for gotten came up in probate court yes terday. It had been discovered in an abstract office that there was some thing wrong with the estate of Strype, which was supposed to have been ad- ministered upon in 1894. The estate has been administered upon once and possibly twice since that time as the property of other persons. The last time it passed through the court it was in the estate of Martin House.
 The property which formerly belong ed to Strype and later to House had
