months lease. One-third of which has expired. Before their lease shall have expired they will doubtless be in shape to buy lots of mines whose owners would not have traded with the Easter Sunday people few years ago. They are shipping their ore to the Copper Queen smelter, where on account of the great amount of silicate it carries it is crushed, and used for converter lining It is assayed and the company accounts to the lessees for the gold according to the assay. In the mean time of course the gold goes into the copper bullion and is recovered by the company in the refinery. The company cannot use the Easter Sunday ore when sorted down fine, preferring that it should run about 212 ounces to the ton. In many cases the ore as taken out runs so high that it is necessary to add silicate to bring it down to the necessary standard and render it available for the Copper Queen shelter.
 The property consists of four full claims, about five miles from Bisbee with a good road all the way. The deepest workings are about 300. feet. and there is a 34O-foot tunnel connect ing with the bottom of an incline shaft At the present time there are about twenty men employed at the Easter Sunday. The lessees are thor Ough mining men and are living faith fully up to the clause in their lease which requires them to work and devel- op the property in q manner calculated to improve it and leave in in vastly better shape than that in which they found it.. There is no gouging or coy oting on this property but straight forward, legitimate operations distin- guish every shaft. tunnel. drift and stope. Quite a settlement is springing up around Easter Sunday. The accom- modations include a good boarding house

 N. w. Wolfe, who formerly worked for R. H. Burmister & Sons Co.,, in this city, has returned to Prescott, after six months tour of the mining districts of southern Arizona and northern Mex ico. MT. Wolfe is a native Arizona Miner, having been born in Fort Apache in 1879. He owns several groups of promising quartz prospects in various portions of this county. Some of the claims are located in Bigbug dis trict, some on Turkey creek, and some on Bill Williams Fork. He has one of his Bigbug properties bonded for S1, 400 and has given an option on another group for $5,000. He is now preparing to do assessment work on claim which is developed by a 60 foot shaft. ore from which carries S46 a ton gold and copper.-Prescott Courier.
 Andy Lancer, a well known Yavapain, has opened a general merchandise store at the French Lily mine below Mayer, the progress of that section of late being so manifest in mining as to war rant a ready supply house. Thus are the remote sections of old coming to the front as the country is being open ed up. The railroad to the Bradshaws is having a wonderful effect in stimu- lating trade and travel along that sec tion.-Journal-M Miner.

The third touchdown was the only one made by the use of end runs that made gains, and near the line three re- volving wedges made gains of five yards each.
 BaZata kicked off, the ball went be- hind the line and Schoulder punted it from there. Bazata downed the ball on the twelve yard line, but had to leave the game on account of a sprained an kle. He being such a strong player It was thought that Occidental would go to pieces. Another touchdown was scored during the first half
 The second half was a bunting game, but the Indians could only make two touchdowns, for the Occidental men men braced up magnificently and held them down. They were near the goal when time was called, but they expect ed to be over it. Two pale faces and no red faces had to leave the game.
 C. E. Spaulding had to play against the star end of the Indians after Her riott went out.
 The team is not discouraged by their defeat, for the Indians are not of their class, but they are preparing to dig in and win their big game with Pomona college on the 22nd.

Mines and Minerals ef Arizona
THE ARIZONA MINER
A New Journal Published in New
 York by Geo. E. Sanders.

Volume 1, No. 1, of the Arizona licatiOn that ought to be of great ben eft to Arizona. Though its purpose is clearly that of interesting capital in mines, it follows that the prosperity of the mining business means the pros perity of all other lines.
 The paper is published at Numbers 19 and 21 Park Row, New York, by George E. Sanders, special repre- sentative of the Gro Grande Mines company. A'r sanders is of course mainly interested ia placing the stock of that company to aid in the equip ment ot that famous and wonderful mine with & big re1uctiOn plant. But he recognizes. as all broad minded and successful mining men do. that there is more than one good thing in Ari- zOna, and in order to publish a real mining paper he announces that the policy of the Miner will be that of Calling attention oi the investing pub lie to properties in Arizona with un- questionable merit and value wherever they may be located" The editor fur ther says: Tn issuing this paper from New York instead of Arizona we feel that the most good can De QONe, as We recognize the eastern states as the source of capital to develop our mines, and Arizona as the greatest future source of mineral wealth.
 Considerable space in this first issue is devoted to the Gro Grande and plain business statements are made by the representative of the company. A large number of clippings from other papers, both here and in the east and west, are reproduced to show that the claims of the company are not based upon their own hopes but upon existing facts as observed by many writers, en- gineers and experts having no personal financial interest in the enterprise of the Gro Grande Mines company. There are several interesting articles on other mines and the mining business in gen eral and in later issues many more. may be expected. In helping each other mining men help themselves and the Miner perceives that it is good business to help the other fellow. The subscrip- tion price of the paper is fifty cents a year and it is issued monthly. How ever in order to gain a good circulation as quickly as possible the publisher announces that he will send it free for a time to those who will ask for it and agree to read it.

Comstock lode was still a mystery, says the Chicago Chronicle. The mem bers of the "bis four" used to meet in Mackay's cabin and talk over the pros poets in open session, quite regardless of the presence of their wives. Mrs. ! Baldwin, however, had learned from her husband the significance of the technical mining and stock terms, and the big strike was not many hours old before she understood it, for she could follow inteligently the miners discus sion of their prospects.
 This information she intended to make use of, for she still had her dia- monds, so, going to San Francisco, she looked up a broker and quite by acci- dent happened upon James K. Keene. then a Californian.
 "NIr Keene,'' she said, ''I want to put an important affair in your hands. am a poor woman and a widow, but my husband once had money and from him I learned something of the stock mar l:et. have some diamonds he gave me. They are all have and I want you to take them and realize on them and in- vest it all in CUmstock.'
 Why Comstock?" asked Keene, sur prised at the unhesitating manner she staked her all in what seemed to him a doubtful proposition. She explained and the shrewd financier listened with a glistening eye.
 Now, Mrs. Baldwin, he said, 'Ill tell you what we'll do. You keep your diamonds. Get value on them and I'll invest that amount for you and pro- tect it in case of fluctuations. You watch the reports and when you see fit let me know and I'll close it out. You must take every cent, for your tip is worth more than your diamonds or any commission I would charge
 Mrs. Baldwin watched the market as she continued her dressmaking, dream ing of a competency that would enable her to return to her old home and live in comfort. Comstock rose and rose. In fact it became the wonder of the day. and when Mrs. Baldwin figured that she had from S1O,0OO to $15,0G0 waiting her command, fearful it would fall, she hurried to Keene to close out.
 James R. Keene greeted her warmly, told his bookkeeper to cast up the ac- count and make out the check. Now that the deal was over Mrs. Baldwin became nervous, and as Keene turned from her to sign the valued document her impatience got the best oS her.
 How much is it, MT. Keene?" she asked.
 With good-natured carelessness the financier replied '"Six hundred and forty thousand" Then he turned to hand her the check, but Mrs. Baldwin had to be lifted from the floor and re- stored to consciousness before she could take it.
 Keeae, however, received his own winnings with less nervousness, and his subsequent career shows that he knew how to double on them.

EXCITEMENT IN BIS BEE
A Small Fire in an Old Stope of the
 Copper Queen.

Some excitement was created late Tuesday night by the announcement that No. 40 stope in the Spray mine be- longing to the Copper Queen Co. was on fire, says the Bisbee Review. Su- perintendent Clawson was called and upon investigation it was discovered that an old gob about 4Ox3O, which had long been filled up with cheap sulphide ore. was smoldering and smoke was is suing therefrom. About S:3O men working in that part of the mine, de- tected sulphur fumes and gave the alarm. Water was at once turned on the smoldering fire and last night Su- perintendent Clawson reported the fire was under absolute control.
 The fire started from spontaneous combustion caused by the sulphide ores. For the past seven months the stope has been gradually growing warmer and the fire was not entirely unexpect- ed. While the mere statement that the mine was on fire caused some excite ment, the mine officials at once saw there was no cause for alarm. Water was brought into the stope in barrels and the progress of the fire checked until water could be piped in from the Spray shaft. A crew of pipe filters were at work all Tuesday night until Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock, when all the connections were. made and the stope was flooded with the re- suit that the fire was completely ex- tinguished.
 The damage to the timbers was very slight. The largest expense attaching to the accident was the laying of l ,O0C feet of pipe.
