JOSEPH CYANIDE PROCESS
New and Cheap Method for Work
 ing 0xidized Ores

T. E. Joseph of this city, who has made exhaustive research into the pos abilities of cyanide in the recovery of gold from oXidized ores, has been mo- tified by the United States patent office that he has been granted letters pat ent on the Joseph Cyanide Process. . an invention by MT. Joseph that he has been trying for two years past to get through the patent office. Mr. Joseph is highly pleased ever his success in this direction, as are his many friends in this city and Mercur and the Mining Review is informed it is the intention to patent the process in foreign coun- tries as soon as possible and practicable.
 This is process for the treatment of Oxidized gold ores with cyanide as the principal solvent, although other chem icals are used in combination, the com bination adding to the efficiency of the system, by which 1t is claimed a higher recovery of values is recorded than by the old methods employed while oper- ating expenses are reduced and q say ing of time is chronicled. MT. Joseph is not ready at the present time to go into exhaustive detail as to his process and it's merits, but he informs the Re view that it is his intention to push his invention and to introduce 1t into gen eral use as rapidly as possible Salt Lake Mining Review.

LABOR DAY MYSTERY
Solved by Sober Man With a Dark
 Lantern.

A certain young man who is employed somewhere in the block bounded by Center, First, Adams and Monroe streets, works faithfully 364 days each year. The 365th he devstes to recog- hilton of labor by not working. He celebrates. not because he is tired and wants a rest, but because he is a con sistent union man and feels 1t his duty to celebrate even if it takes the hair off.
 He celebrated last Monday and cele- brated hard, getting his moneys worth every time he put his chin over the bar If he overlooked anything it was not through carelessness, but because the man with the white apron was too swift for him. Along toward midnight it occurred to him that the celebration was over and another year of hard work was about to begin, so he crept quietly away into the back yard to lie down on q cot and catch a few winks before the bright sunshine of the new year put in its appearance.
 He approached the cot stealthily, 1 fearing that some scab had pre-empted it during his patriotic Vigils elsewhere, and sure enough his cot was occupied. | It was dark, and as will be remem- bered. unusually warm that night. He felt around the upper end of the cot, | hoping to locate the intruder's head piece, when he proposed to mash it in with a club But strange to say the end of the man seemed clammy and moist and there was no hair on it. He at once concluded that some other union man had preceded him in the impulse to rest and finding the intruder had cut his head off. That moist feel ing could be nothing but blood oozing from the ragged end of his neck.
 So he immediately sought a number of his fellows and reported that a crime had been committed and that he had just withdrawn his arm from the throat of some luckless scab.
 An Investigating party was organized and armed with Q dark lantern 1t pro- ceeded to the scene of the mystery. The bulls eye revealed another faithful son of toll who had gone to bed with his head where his feet ought to have been and he was pounding his ear so vigor- ously that what seemed in the dark ness to be the ebbing of his life blood was simply precipitation dripping off his | feet.

Chacon safely handcuffed. Stiles in the lead and Mossman bringing up the rear the three on horseback started across the country for the nearest railroad station, which was Naco Junction.
 Captain Mossman took his charge to Benson and turned him over to Sheriff Parks of Graham county, who was there on his way to Cochise county, having been advised that Chacon would soon be in the hands of the officers. At Benson Chacon was seen by the writer and was allowed to talk to him by Sheriff Parks. The Mexican outlaw, who does not know the meaning of fear took his capture in philosophical manner.
 Where are you going, Chacon?" was asked by the reporter.
 "I suppose they are taking me to Solomonville, said the outlaw, "and I want them to kill me this time. I pre- fer death to a term in the peniten- tiary."
 Chacon has broken rapidly in the past five years. His form is bent and his beard is tinged with gray. To be hunted like an animal for five years has left its mark on the outlaw, who is again in the jail from whence he escaped five years ago.

MINING BOOM IN IDAHO
A New District the Rival of Thur
 der Mountain.

Tine discovery of quartz mines at Leon Creek, Custer county, short dis tance east of Thunder Mountain, con tinues to keep up an excitement among the mining men of southern Idaho. Much of the rock brought out is cov- cred with flakes of gold. Clarence Eddy and Ralph Beane have discovered what is said to he the famous Lost Packer lode, frequently searched for since the early '70s. It is twelve feet wide and gives an average of nearly $50 d ton. A report has just arrived that ore worth $2O0 a ton has been struck on Deer Creek, parallel with Grouse and Canyon creeks, where the original discoveries were made. The mineral belt is already proved to be four miles wide, and over two hundred locations have been made. Men are rushing into the new district from Thunder Mountain, Salmon City and Custer. and more discoveries will un- doubtedly be made. as Loon Creek was in 1869 the richest of the placer districts of southern Idaho. The gold taken from the creek was very coarse and worth about SIS an ounce.

KLoNDIKE OUTPUT.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
 of New York says reports of a probable
 large decrease this year in the produc-
 ton of gold from the Klondike should
 be accepted with some caution. It IS too early yet to speak decidedly. and late shipments may bring up the eX- ports from the country to higher figure than is now estimated. It must be remembered also that good deal of work Of permanent and expensive character :s now going on in the region and probably T larger proportion of the gold won will be retained in circula- ton there than in any previous year. The Yukon country. in fact, seems to have entered upon a period of transi- ton.

FOUND A FORTUNE
Wonderful Manganese Deposit Owned
 by J. k. Bark and Ed Jon,s

d. E. Bark and Ed Jones have re- turned from camping trip on the up per Gila and through the San Pedro valley. The interesting thing they re- port IS the discovery of a deposit of manganese that bids fair to put them In the millionaire class some day.
 Ihey located the property discovered Tor though they hardly knew what if was at the time it had the appearances or being something worth taking care or. The ledge is about thirty feet wide and through it crops one solid manga nese vein about six feet wide. Sampless or the ore were shown to about twenty miners and prospectors and though all h2d come in contact with manganese Tn some quantity in mineral lodges but lew had ever seen the metal in large quantity and in a practically pure state Few of them therefore could tell them what 1t was. But as soon as they found out they sent a sample to a Colo rado smelting company and in reply received an inquiry as to the size of the vein, its location in respect of trans portation and other details with the statement that il answers were satis- factory there would be something fur ther doing in the line of negotiations. They also brought sample of the rock to Phoenix with them. It is about as big a specimen as one wants to lift Tor examination and seems to be prac- tically the pure metal. Mr. Bark says there is at least a thousand tons of 1t in sight on the surface of the ground and that it is immediately on the line of the proposed Phoenix and Eastern railroad, so with the construction of that line there will be no wagon haul at all.
 The metal greatly resembles iron and | is black oxide. After one has handled the specimen his hands look as though | he had been playing with lampblack. According to the Century dictionary this metal has never been found native and is secured only by extraction from manganese bearing ores. But from the appearance of the specimen MT. Bark has, the dictionary will have to take q back seat. for 1t is as nearly pure as any metal is found except a smoothly worn nugget of placer gold.
 Manganese has of late years come
 to be very valuable metal. rather the demand for it has increased owing tC
 new uses to which it is being put. One l of the most important duties It per forms is in the manufacture of steel for particular purposes. It is quoted al
 all the way from s22.50 per ton up | according to the character and quality of the commodity offered for sale. Ii l Messrs. Bark and Jones have as much
 of it as they think they have the con
 struction of the Phoenix and EasterT

COST OF COPPER.

There is a rumor in circulation to the effect that everything has been closed down at Globe. Considering the low price of copper this is not a surprise. The last annual statement of the Old Dominion company showed that it cost the company F cents per pound to make copper and the market is now below that point. It is now a question of the survival of the Attest. All com panies that cannot make copper at present prices must shut down, and many of them will not resume in many years. In this way the supply of cop per will be regulated to suit the de- mand. The Clifton Morenci district has nothing to fear, as copper is made cheaper here than at any other camT in the territory. When Clifton shuts down there will be no copper made in | the cuthwest.-Clifton Copper Era.

MINING NOTES.

On the 2OO-foot level at the Sisson shaft Troy, about 400 feet east from the main shaft, while drifting on d body of low grade sulphide ore. they opened up a two-foot vein which shows massive native copper and red oxide, averaging 22 per cent. raise is now started from the 300-foot level to tap same. This work will be pushed with Leyner machine drills. In drifting east from the 50-foot winze in the Buckeye tunnel body of 10 per cent carbonate ore has been encountered, showing for five feet in face of drift with foot wall exposed. Extent of vein not yet known as they have not reached the hanging wall.-Silver Belt.
 Yesterday MT. l.. w. Jimmie showed the Oasis man some fine ore samples from a property named the Chance mine, which is on the west side of the Patagonia mountains, seven or eight miles eastward from Nogales. It is owned by himself, John Teeter and T. L. Shannon. They have sunk thirty | feet upon a ledge eight feet wide of fine galena ore.-Nogales Oasis. | It is probable that the Red Bird group of mines in the Washington camp region will be taken in hand by Los Angeles capitalists and brought to the front as producers. A letter re- ceived by the Oasis from Los Angeles | Monday is to that effect. The group includes a. half dozen very valuable | claims upon which considera ble work has been done already, showing con siderable ore. They are the Red Bird, i Nabob, New Deal, Little Joker and Pay | Streak.

CAPTURE OF CHACON
Story of How the Notorious Outlaw
 Was Trapped.

The Bisbee Review gives the follow ing account of the capture of Augustin Chacon:
 Augustin Chacon. the noted outlaw. who escaped from jail in Graham coun- ty three days before he was to be hung, is again in the hands of Sheriff James V. Parks of Graham county and the gallows frame which was built for Cha con in 1897 may still fulfill it's purpose
 The credit of the capture of this noted outlaw, who has been the terror of Graham and CoChise counties for the last five years. must he awarded to Captain Burton c. Mossman. late of the Arizona rangers, who retired from that position on September l. The cap ture Of Chacon was the continuation of Q deep laid plan that was successfully executed on Wednesday night. Word was received by B. c. Mossman on Tuesday by special messenger that Augustin Chacon would make a raid on the horse pasture of the Sneed ranch, located about seven miles this side of the line. On Tuesday night Mossman and Stiles awaited his coming but their vigilance was unrewarded. They retired to a nearby ranch and on NeuIeSudy HlSHC were aRa1n Tn tnelf places, close beside the pasture gate. They did not have long to wait for about Il o'clock a horseman rode into small canyon nearby and instead of making the raid on the pasture at night. which was very dark and cloudy, evidently Chacon decided to wait for daylight. Stiles and Mossman on foot made their way to the camp and at the 1 first peep of day Mossman commanded | Chacon in Spanish to throw up his hends. Messman was close beside him when the command was given and had him covered. Stiles was on the other side of the outlaw ready to shoot him | if he made move.
 l ChaCon did not get rattled. He had long ago learned to hold his nerve, ir check in the face of danger He looked up in the face Of Mossman. his brows contracted slightly, and fixing those sharp black eyes on his captor, said 1T
 Spanish: Kill me. Why don't you gC ahead and kill me? I know you vii kill me"
 Captain Mossman assured ChacoT that he would not harm him if he woult come along peaceably, and then ordered Stiles to disarm him. which was don'

HALL GAINES MANX HAND.

Mir Hall Caine will have to look 10 his Little Manx Nation" A corre- spondent who has, after many days revisited the island, complains strongly of what he calls its vulgariza tion, and of the way in which its many beauty spots are desecrated by catchpenny de- vices for attracting visitors money. says the London News. The electric railways and tramways have made ac- cess easier to a number of the more secluded glens; but these have been taken possession of by enterprising publicans, who not only make charge for admission, but allow-doubtless for a considerations variety of entertain CTS and caterers to set up pitches and touts arc perfect nuisance and alto gether spoil the contemplative visitors enjoyment of the natural beauties of the island.
 The electric tramway around Douglas head and the adjacent cliffs to Port Soderic has completely spoiled one charming Manx valley, at the entrance of which some bold rock scenery and l fine natural caverns used to be visible. The glen is now given up to refresh ment booths, cocoanut "shies" and such like amusements. A footway, formed of wood iron and cement, has been constructed around the seaward side of the once romantic caves, and the usual charge Is made for admission. This | has taken all the romance, and some of | the beauty, out of them. So-called "oyster beds" have been laid down in the rock pools, and the visitor who likes l to feast on oysters alleged to be taken l from their native home. can purchase the bivalves which have been placed in l the pools. Some of these beds consist of oyster shells only. with which the
 rocks around are literally beRprinkled. Many and ingenious are the devices for exploiting the tripper.
 The Douglas corporation is not eX-
 empt from the charge of encouraging the Manxmen in their eagerness to prey upon the visitors. The corporation tram cars run round the front from
 the Loch to the queens promenade, and
 at present the fare is twopence for any distance Out of the season the fare
 is only one penny No great expense
 has been incurred over this tramway
 It is quite level and the cars are of very
 primitive construction, many of them
 being only open platforms with seats
 placed transversely upon them, and | locally known as toast racks" Gov
 cred cars arc dniy used in wet or cold
 weather. F. ' In some respects, as, for example, ir
