VOLCANIC FIRES.
ANOTHER ISLAND REPORTED
DESTROYED BY LAVA
AND GAS.

Yokohama, August I9-The little
island Of Torishims was overwhelmed
by a volcanic eruption between Aug
ust 1S pnd August 10, and all the in.
hsbitants, numbering $50 persons,
were undoubtedly killed. The island
is covered with volcanic debris and all
the houses on it have disappeared.
The eruption is still proceeding and is
accompanied by submarine eruptions
in vicinity, which make it dangerous
for vessels to approach island. Torish-
lima is one of chain Of islands extend

MORE WARRANTS.
RUMORED THAT PROPERTY

Il is understood that the property
owners on tbs Cairo extension OF the

that the property owners, or one
whose land is located near the Rott-
geTing land, will swear out warrants
against the company for trespsss, and
this will necessitate the company
stopping work for n time again.
The rumor could not be suostsniated

why, he has no chance at all.
How do you expect him to reach the
pole with Z toes disabled and without
a doctor. But we must give him credit
for what he has done: he deserves IT,
You will find, however, that he viii
admit on his return that it is impos-
sible to reach the North Pole by thas

A great deal of interest has been
aroused among local politicians by the
report that influence is being brought
to bear on Former Mayor Lang to run
for mayor next year. 1t is a source Of
constant wonder how such a race
would terminate, but it is thought
probable that the former mayor would
wipe up the earth with the present
mayor in the primary. Former Mayor
Lang beat ex-Msyor Reed, the only
man who ever beat Mayor Yeiser, and
it is reasoned out that if Mayor Yeiser
could not beat Mr.. Reed he could not
beat Former Mayor Lang, who did

JOHN ii. BAUMAN
REAPPOINTED.

Hon. John H. Bauman, one Of the most able and conscientious federal officials in the service, has recently been reappointed as receiver of the Tucson land office, which position he has held for the past four years with credit.
 The Sentinel congratulates MT. Bauman on his appointment and hopes that he may hold the position as long as he wants it.. The following from the Tucson Star will be of interest to the friends of MT. Bauman as we'll as those of the present register of the land office, Capt. Milton R. Moorei
 "Mr. Bauman has a wide ac- quaintance in Arizona, having served as chairman of the Apache county republican committee and also as chairman of the territo- rial committee of that organiza- tion. He has made a good rec ord in the land office as well as citizen of Tucson, having estab- lished home in the old pueblo.
 Captain Milton R. Moore, who several months after MT. Bauman was installed became register of the land office, to succeed Eugene J. Trippell, has until fall to complete his term. Both officials are old soldiers, and it is very likely they will conduct the affairs of the land office each four years following their first term. "

A single piece of ore repre- sents nothing but itself, and an assay made from it tells nothing except as to that single speci- men. A true sample must be composed of some of each part of the original mass and in pro- portion which that part was of the original. It must be iden- tical with the original on a smaller scale. In applying this to sampling ore, it must all be brought to a size, the smaller the better, thoroughly mixed and then quartered CD down repeat edly until the final sample is as small as is convenient to carry away. If ore is worth sampling at all it is worth sampling vel, and nothing but an average sam pie is of any value to any one.- Mining and Scientific Press.

then comes the work of develop ing the prospect into a mine. This is not the work simply of a week, a month or even a year at all times. It is frequently the case that the largest and best mines are the ones most care fully prospected and developed before becoming dividend pay CTS.
 It is obviously not within the province of the average pros pector to develop such a prop erty; it takes more money than he can command.
 Then a stock company is formed to raise money to de- velop the property. If the or ganization of this company is fair and equitable, and the man agement conservative and hon. est, there is no reason why all connected with the enterprise should not receive handsome re turns on their investment.
 All companies are not organ ized on this basis, however, hence it is we'll for a prospective purchaser of stock to satisfy himself that the investment he i is about to make is in a company being developed in a legitimate manner.-Boston Mining Bu reau.
The Arizona sentinel., 1902-04-02

There is always money for mining investments, but many would-be investors fancy that nothing but a developed mine should have money put into it.. The men who have made the most money out of mines in this country have not done so by buying developed mines at full value, loaded with commissions. The great fortunes of Haggin, Tevis, Mackay, Walker, Hay ward, Clark, Stratton, Cruse, Daily and a hundred others were made by developing prospects into mines. That is the way big money is made in mining; that way lies the profit.
