GENUINE WIDLCAT MINE.

The Portland Oregonian says that several mining men who chanced to myy; ID the cRcv of a ho,Sl in that city the other day were discussing the various mines in certain dis trict in this state, when one of them spoke of wildcat" mine.
 A logger who was sitting near pricked up his ears at this, and chip Dsd into the conversation. He said tna; there was the most productive wildcat mine he ever heard of near the logging camp where he had been voking on the lower Columbia
 One of the mining men remarked that his idea of wildcat mine was enc that yielded nothing but assess Bents. and asked what this wildcat mine produced.
 Why. wildcats, of course" replied the logger. He then proceeded to ex- plain that many years ago some one had run a tunnel into the side of a hill in search of coal and had run 2 humber of short branches, and had gophered about generally in the bowls ef the hill, but finding 10 coal, had finally abandoned the working
 There were wildcats in that section and the parties who had been prospect ing for coal left several cats at their cabin. The wildcats and the tame cats mad affiliated, and taken up their abode in the tunnel and had increasd jB numbers
 Finally celebrated bear hunter of that region discovered the half closed entrance to the tunnel and thinking that some wild animal might be occu- pying the place. sent his dogs in to investigate. In few minus the dogs came rushing out literally covered with wildcats, and bowling like lost spirits.
 While the fight was going on the old hunter took hand to help his dogs. and killed twenty-seven wildcats.
 Dynamite ws put in the tunnel st night when the cats were out seeking food, and the next day the fuse was lighted As it burned some cats came cut and were shot down. The shoot ing and the dead cats terrified those in the rear, and they held back until he tunnel was fairly choked with a surg ing, squalhng, splitting army of cats, and then the giant powder exploded

 Mir. Hamilton says from what he
 heard mining is strictly on the boom in the White Picacho district The White Lily mine is taking out ore val ued at $125 to the ton, and the Exposi- tion, another first-class property, is sending ore to the Fl Paso smelter that nets $260 to the ton. The Indepenj-
 ence group is also banning out well, though as yet little more than develop ment work has been done, large quanti- ties of high grade ore have been taken from the calm some of which is treat ed at the Trilby mill in close proxim- ity.
 On the Joe Dandy and Forodroa group a recent rich strike has been made of fine gold ore, carrying high values, the rock being strongly impres- mated with gold in the native state. There has not been sufficient work done upon this property since the rich strike has been made to determine the extent of the lead, but from its great size, in places sixty feet wide, !. would indicate that a very large property be opened up. Arrangements are be ing made by the owners of the Dandy group to sink a 300 foot exploration shaft upon the property and it is conf dently expected that another free gold producer will be added to the district
 About a mile west of the White Cloud mine is located the Exposition group, which undoubtedly holds the record for the largest productions from the small amount of workings on the property of any in the district, the ore taken out in the original prospect ing operations having. as stated re- turned s260 per ton. though there has been taken out considerable free gold ore which gave much larger returns The vein lies on a contact between the porphyry and talco-schist forma- tion and from the working shaft that is now being sunk it is impossible to determine the size of the ledge. as the workings have cut but the foothills and side of the ledge and until the hanging wall is reached in crosscut- ting ii is impossible ot determine the size of the ledge The indications so far showing that the ledge is increas- ing in size and width. The Eoxpsitiol Mining comapny who own this proper ty, is controlled by the Pichaco Blanco Minig company and they are now equipping this property with hoisting works and working as large a force as possible day and night sinking the main shaft Gazette

THt MINING FIELD
hUAcHUcA PROPERTY.

A Review reporter met and chatted with Mir. Dave Crockett a few days ago concerning his mining property tn the Huachucas. Mir. crockett owns four claims in the North Fork of Ash canyon, about four miles from the mouth of the main canyon. This is a copper property, carrying also gold and silver and joins Curtis camp. The ssays show a general average of 13 to Is per cent copper. Several ship nents have been made of assorted ore some specimens going as high as 70 per cent copper. There are rich crop pings all over the claims and the work ings have been in ore so far. Develop ment work done on the claim up to the present time consist of one open cut about 30 feet, a drift about i2 feet and two shafts of Is feet each, all in ore The experts who examined these claims pronounced the formation good for the existence of a large body of ere, this is now a poor mans claim, and a living can be made This goes te show the great opportunity for a very successful exploitation of the property by monied company. This Contention group consists of Conten- tion Nos 1. 2, and 4 Plenty of wood and water are on the gound. Two men are employed by MT Crockett at this time doing assessment and de veloping work.
 Mir. Crockett also owns some very valuable gold claims in Moctezuma camp HuSchucas. The lowest assay shown of the ore from these claims shows SIG in gold and the highest $190 From the number of people who are examing these properties at this time it is more than probable Mir. Crockett will dispose of them or some of them. He lately refused s40o0 for one of these claims and has refused to bond, or give option as he car afford to keep them, until his terms are met by per sons who recognize their merit and are prepared to pay their value.
 Mention was made of these claims iB the winter edition of the Los Ang e1es Times

in order to learn about ones character
and luck In life.

Isabella, amor tell whether he--the

from me. Your chin belongs TO the CHASE
designated as pointed. and It is a solemn
fact that the owner OF such a chic is 90
difficult to please that single blessedness
is threatened, although not absolutely
assured.
"Now, II you had narrow, square

Chins may be divided into five Glasses
the pointed, the marrow square, the broad
square. the broad round and the in
dentei.
The pointed and the narrow square are
essentially the feminine chins, while the
broad square in masculine chin. The
broad square chin denotes the propensity
OF earnest devotion, Of ardent love, and is
usually accompanied by great strength OF
intellect.
Faithful love or constaney is shown by
the broad round chin. The owner o!
such chin is apt to be of a sanguine
temperament.
The indenteo chin denotes the desire to
be loved. In man IL is not an admirable
sign unless accompanied by other bslsnc-
ing qualities, as ii gives lightly come

VIII or strength OF purpose is shown by
the long chin. The owner Of such a fea-
ture is steady, purposefui and always adj
yancing from one accomplished WORK to
another, and success In life is assured to
| him.
All intellectual people have rather
prominent chins. The rule for chin
is that in its modelling 1t must suggest
three generations behind it, and be rather
round than square or pointed.
