Jonesboro, May 23.-Last Sunday
night Pettibone CARRIER, who lived four
miles south of this place, wandered off
from his home in MYSTERIOUS way. He
is "a years old. At the time of leaving
he wore coat and pants of black worst

shoes. He is of medium build, dark
hair recent shingled, and inclined to be
stoop shouldered. He has been subject
to melancholy spells for the past few
years. Some of his family saw him
leave just after supper Sunday night,
but thought he was going to neighbori

JOHN ". MACKAY, the greatest, and died at his wifc'7 London home on the goth instant. Mackay was poor man when he became interested on the Comstocb lode, which paid dividends amounting to sIDO.OOO, ,OOJ, and is still producing. Of the Bonanza Kings Mackay, Fair, Flood and O'Brian- Mackay was the only one who was popular with the people. For many years after he was a multi-miliiOnaire, it was nothing uncommon for sOmo old-time miner To slap him on the back and call him John, and he liked it too. He married q poor widow in Cali fornia before making his millions in Nevada, but Mrs. Mackay, unlike her liegc lord, cannot be approached by her old time friends. She is consider cd social leader in Europe, and only the titled or very wealthy have access to her drawing rooms. Mackay was born in Ireland, but came to this coun- try with his parents when mere child. He was a man of intense encr- gy, and with rare business perception. He was the real owner of the Mackay- Bennett cable, the Postal Union tclc- graph company and at the time Of his death was preparing 10 commence work on the Pacific cable from san Francisco 10 Manila, which enterprise will no doubt be continued, nOtwith- standing his death. There were no enterprises too big for Mackay to un- dcrtakc, and he was sinGularly forum ate in his investments. He was one Of the wcalthic9t men in the world, but he always found time to chat with an old time frcind. and his purse was open tu such of those who were in need. John w. Mackay will be sincerely mourncd by many old timers throuG bout the west, not a few Of whom can be found in this section Peace to his ashes. and may his honor ed namo he maintained uutarnished by his son.

MINES AND MINING.
CORONADO MINING COMPANY.

II is with pleasure that the ERA chronicles the incorporation Of the Coronado Mining company, which has been formed for the purpose Of taking over the Mclean group ot claims mar NetcaN. The authorized capital of the company i5 g, ,OO0. GOO. with shares at par value of Sl0 each. The officers of the company are as follows: w. B. Thompson, president; John k. Frs rskine, Jr., yice-presideut: E. ;. Anderson, treasurer; W. J. Palmer, secretary: Josiah II. Drummond, Jr. clerk. The directors are. W. B. Thompson, John F.. Erskine. Jr.. and II. $. Anderson. The ". B. Thompson Company of Bos- ton are the fiscal agents The pros pectus ot the company makes the fol- lowing modest statement:
 The property controlled by the com pacy consists Of twentv-one claims con- taiuing 300 acres and is located near Nctcaf and Coronado, seven miles north of Clifton, Arizona. The devei- Opment work which has already been done proves that it is more than prob able that the famous Coronado vein, from which the Arizona COppe" com pauy is producing q large tonnage oi high-grade ore, immediately 10 the west, continues into the property con- troiled by this company. It is pro posed to ully develop the ore bodies, already discovergdsEby shafts, tunnels i; etf;, , ana fT5c ;ba LSs.pge' ic wiIi Snf show that the Re z s9tlies are large and valuable. The principal development on the properties is on the Emerald claim where d shaft has exposed sul- phide ore assayiug from $ to 10 per cent. copper. In tunnel 90 feet below the collar of this shaft, sulphide ore assaying oyer five per cent. copper has been found. We believe this to be the most important undeveloped sulphide ground not owned by the other large companies (Ariz0na Copper company, Detroit Copper company. and Shannon Copper company operating in the dis trict. For the purpose Of making ad- ditioual payments and furnis ishiug the necessary money for development, We offer 25. GOO shares of the full paid, non asscs.able stock in this company at three dollars share.'
 The Thompson Investment company financed the Shannon Copper company, which is now recognized as one Of the strongest companies operating in Ari zona. There is no question of tho ability of the Thompson company to raise all the money necessary for the development and equipment of the property, which is in a tested district, and some of the claims are adjoining some of the best known producing ground in the camp. The ERA believes that the Coronado company has d bright future before it, and will in q few years be one Of the producing companies Of this district.

So much water has been struck in sinking the main shaft on the Stevens group of claims near Metcalf that it will be necessary to abandon work in the shaft until pumping plan- can be secured. The shaft is now down more than seventy feet, and is all in low grade ore, but the water is considered more valuable, as it is the opinion Of the Messrs. Stevens that a sufficient amount can be developed to justify the erection Of concentrating plant at the mines, which would be a big saving 10 the company. The company needs q good hoistiug and pumping plant.

I: is dollars 10 doughnuts that the court committed the same otfense when he was boy, but probably that was so long ago that he has forgotten if. It is a pretty heavy fine on the boy-, and t is to be hoped that the court will not insist on sending them to jail. a. that would disgrace them in the eyes of their companions. There is hardly day in the week but the dignity of the law is fractured by drunks and pistol toters, who are sell dom arrested, and when they are. they are usually let oir with the lightest Of fines.

The Gila Valley Telephone company are contemplating extending their line to Tombstone, which would connect with the Sunset line, thus connecting every important line in the territory. The Sunset company con- templates the erection of d line from Prescott to SanBcrnardino, California, where it will connect with their coast system.

It has been fully demonstrated that the teaching process for the ores of the Lone Star district is success, says the Guardian. This has been proven by Mr. Williams at the teacher across the river from Stafford. Between 800 and 6O1 tons of ore has been taken out of the old Horse Shoe mine and has been given Il Atf-avcagh test ana it average five per centum copper with small values Of gold and silver. Mill lions Of tons of teaching ore not lower than five per centum in copper can be mined in the Lone Star district, and the mining and hauling to tho teacher can be done at minimum cost. there by giving to the operators of both mines and teacher handsome profits But not much can be done with the present teacher; it is too small. At least 25-ton plant should be erected; a j0-ton would be better. This would stimulate the development of the mines and would be a mOney-making prOposi
 tiOn for the owners Of the teacher. It k hoped that the present company will sec it's way clear to erect q larger plant, as several parties are waiting to see this done in order 10 begin taking out ore. 1T the present teacher is not en- larged it will not be long before an other will he built by a new company, for there is too much good teaching ore known to exist in the Lone Star li.trict tn ramain hurind mncl lnnrar

The Guardian, which has from the first been most friendly towards Mr. Dudley. former manager Of mining property near Stafford, and who was convicted Of falsifyiug his accounts, and sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and six months imprisonment and pardon cd by Acting Governor Stoddard, cx- plains the charges recently made by the Bulletin that Mr. Dudley had drawn $6,000 belonging to his company and skipped to Mexico:
 The true faGtzof the case in which the Bulletin misrepresented Mr. Qua ley. are these: Mir. Dudley drew two drafts from the Bank of Stafford the morning he left here. He went to Bisbee. This was on Tuesday. On Thursday he returned to Stafford and was here at the very mumentthc Bulie- tin containing the article referred 10 was being printed. Next day he went to New York.
