On the West Bisbee there is all kinds of copper on lhe surface. and our advice to the "Supe" was. go down, young man. and grow up with the company. Between the Calumet and Arizona and the South Bisbee the great mineral deposit makes a dive where it takes a millionaire to dive after it. then comes up for air. so close to the surface that an industrious hen can scratch the formation away and reveal it's presence. On the way back to the ice house we interviewed a B yer old citizen of the female persua- sion on the front steps of a one-story tworoom. weatherbeaten mansion. The care wrinkled mother was in the back yard. rubbing her salvation out of a wash tub consisting of collection of miners underwear. The baby, in her artless way. gave me the brief history of the prospectors life's work and the universal outcome. The little lump of dimpled innocence told her story like this:
 When l was a little wee baby Qm big now.) when l was a little wee baby, papa and mamma cumed away up wonder and had tent. because papa, he, finded a mine there. Men papa he digged a great big hole in the mine. Oh. just as big as this"- and the little thing toddled about feet to show how big the hole was, m it was, oh, so deep. Mamma clothes line unr,1A incs reach fn tho hnffnrn an papa end mamma tole me what great big fine house they will have when papa sells his mine. Men papa died and they taken him away off an l don't have no papa any more. An mamma she cried ever so long. an one day two big. nice gentlemen comed in the prettiest buggy, and they gived mamma some money. Oh, lots of mon ey, and mamma writes her name on a great big sheet of paper with pretty red lines around it. Men mamma an me comes away from the tent and lives in a nice big house for just little while. 'Nen we move to little house, cause mamma said we only had a little money. 'Nen mamma moves to here, an she works so hard every day. and wonder is where pa pas mine was" With this she pointed tiny baby's finger toward a great camp, where smoke stacks belched forth their frowning pillows to heav- en, gorgeous pageants of material pro gress, where belts and wheels and cylinders and all the paraphernalia of modern industry had set the hori- zon abIaze And this was the baby's ha roth tho gravel and the mother bends over the wash tub. Yet, better this. with hun dreds of men earning honest bread, al honest wages. than THIS, with deadly stagnation around the deep black hole which papa digged.
 As I dropped back past the Holbrook to take a look at the big crack in Shelter hill, I came by where they were giving a big flat cable it's semi annual bath It was drawn slowly through a 30-foot trough into which all kinds of steam and chemicals were performing their part. The cable went in covered with asphalt and grease and dust, till it would discount the complexion of a pickaniny It came out as bright as Bridget O'Hollihan's new zinc clothes line.
 Just then the smelter whistle gave the signal to come off. The man in charge was of a musical turn. He had lived in Kansas, till the grashoppers ate his shoe soles oil, then he walked to Arizona on his uppers. He had stud jed Chopin, Mozart Beethoven, Wag-
 ner and Musical Smith, but he as serted enthusiastically that that old smelter whistle about that Identical time in the day vas tho sweetest mu- sic he ever heard No one can take a
 walk around this camp without being
 impressed with the wonderful spirit
 of enterprise abroad in the camp.
 and the remarkable preponder-
 ance of lively quartz over sorry DOT
 phyry in and around Bisbee. There is no indication visible at the United Verde works and mines, that they will be turning out bullion very
 soon. In fact the belief is yet preva- lent that 1903 will be here before work commences again. P. P. Hast ings, auditor and general freight and
 passenger agent of the company's rail
 road. will leave it's employ October | and his office will be vacant until the
 works start up again. That don't look
 very encouraging.
