the sea are without doubt true. The
asphalt. and generally the oriental or

A staff correspondent of the Mining
and Scientific Press, who recently Wis
tied Graham counts's newest and most
promising gold camp, has the follow
ing to say OF it:
The Consolidated Gold Mountain NJ.
Co. of Tucson. Arizona, has acquired a
group of twenty claims in the Gaiiuro
mountains, Graham county, 50 miles
northwesterly from Wilcox and 30
miles west OF Fort Grant. The lOca-
tiOns cover about 5000 feet of the strike
OF ledgo that strikes north and south
through quartzitc and porphyry forma
tions. By the Outcropping this Ledge
is traceable about 6 miles in length.
Rattlesnake canyon cuts through the
ledge at one point, leaving the ore ex
posed on both sides of the canyon,
showing width and character of vein
matter to a considerable depth. This
erosion is taken as the starting point
for development work. On one side OF
the canyon a crosscut has been made,
better exposing the face OF ore, and a
tunnel drift run on the vein. On the
other side OF the canyon second tun-
mel drift has been driven on the ledge.
This development, as well as some sur
face work elsewhere, shows the ledge
to be at least go feet between walls,
the ore being quartz. carrying free
gold. 1t is stated that an average Of
forty samples taken across the vein at
different depths showed gold values Of
S6.10 per ton. The canyon referred to
cuts the ledge about 80 feet below the
general surface outcrop. The property
includes two millsites and two power
plant sites. 1t is claimed the COM
pany oan develop 1900 II. p, W ich will
be utilized to provide electric power
to operate mine and mill machinery.
1t is stated that plans are now being
made for 2C0-stamp mill on the prop
erty. The company is made up G. r.
Fleming, u. w. Fleming, J. B. Wright
and associates.

Copper Queen Smelters Will Move
To Douglas.

The Review is in possession OF infor-
nation which enables it to announce
as fact that Phelps, Dodge 81 Co.
have fully decided to locate their
smelling plantat Douglas, twenty-eight
miles from Bisbee, on the inter-
national line.
Plans for the new plant are now be
ing drawn and it is expected that it
will be at least eighteen months before
the complete change has been effected
The plans for the new smelter at
Douglas call fora plant with Il capacity
OF from 1000 to 800 tons OF ore daily.
1t will be located one mile west OF
Douglas where surveyors are now at
work surveying the site.
Superintendent Douglas was seen at
his office yesterday and confirmed the
report. In speaking OF the affair Mr..
Douglas said:
II leave Thursday morning for New
York to close up large contracts for
new machinery and expect to be absent
for thirty days. The new smelter at
Douglas will be a modern, up-to-date
plant in every particular. 1t is the
intention of the company to bring re-
factory ores from GLOBE and Nacozari
and smelt them at Douglas"
In answer TO a question from re-
porter Mr.. Douglas stated emphatically
that it was not the Intention of the
company to erect retineries in Douglas.

The ultimate removal from Bisbee TO
Douglas means that about eight hun

Copper Queen company at Bisbee will
be transferred to Douglas when the
hauge is consummated.

FOREST RESERVES.
New and Better Rules for the Ae-
commodatOin Of Settlers.

There are many new regulations be.
ing made by the government relative 10
the management Of forest reserves.
and much OF the ree-tape and verbiage
of the old system Is being done away
with To the great advantage OF settlers
and residents in and adjacent to the
reserves.
Too much time OF the people and OF
the department in charge was hereto
fore taken up with the lesser details OF
the work, working hardship on the
legitimate settlers who desired timber
as fuel and to the stoekmen in securing
permits for grazing privileges. Many
of these iuterminable features arc be-
ing done away wit, aud authority is
being vested in So lervisors to grant
the minor privilegeSwi hout referring
them TO the department when the
proper showing is made To them.
Applications for timber amounting
to $40 and unde., stumpage value, are
now handled - the supervisor who is

cations from persons living outside he
reserves must 90 20 the department.
This is done that the settlers within
the reserves may have first rights and
their wants attended to without long
delays.
There are but few OF the most i'm
pOrtant innovations, aud others are to
follow until there can be no complaint
from the people by delays.
The rules governing the reserves
Will be more strictly enforced and the
hagrant violations will be punished,
in the matter of stock graz
ing. StOckmen should caro- for their
Interests aud see that they have per-
mits, otherwise they will be prosecuted
for trespass. 1t is the duty of forest
officers 20 prosecute each case where
stock of any kind is allowed on the re-
serves by their owner without first
having secured a p-rmit, and not their
duty to beg stOckmen 20 make applica-
tions for them. If the stockmeu desire
the privilege of grazing their stock
they should ask for it. otherwise they
subject themselves to q heavy fino and
imprisonment for violating the rules
Of the reserves.

J. 5. Smith, superintendent of the

News, bringing with him several fine
specimens of molybdenite or molybde-
mum, of which Nc. Smith says that a
considerable quantity has been en-
cOuntered in a 35-foot shaft which the
company is sinking. In fact, he says
it is in sufficient quantity TO be market
able, and as the pure metal is worth
something like s. a pound, if the ore
holds out, the company can consider
that they have struck it rich.
A. J. Brooks, a California mining
man, has taken an option on the West

twelve miles east OF Florence aud is
now on the ground making an expert
OF the properties. 1t is

Rev. Merton Smith, is associated with
Mr.. Brooks in this deal and that the
latter will place the property with an
English company. We drove out to
the claims Tuesday aud found Mr..
Brooks and John Westfall uncovering
copper by the ton. They were finding
ore every where they struck their
picks into the ground. Most OF the
ore uncovered is very high grade and

them. They are only four miles from

shows shipping ore, will take chances

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED

Tn the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor OF this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and after wards he
claims he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost
impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him small bottle
of Chamberlain Colo, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given him while lie was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for q fortnight.
That one little bottle worked com.
plete cure, and lie cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by G.. Kann.

peatedly. but just as often were
they disappointed. However, on
"Wednesday Mr.. jerks, the me-
chanlcal engineer, came here and
entered into contract, which is
in substance as follows. Mr.. Stin-
son, who has just completed a
well at Fayette, is to ship his out
fit not later than to-day, and or
der at once all material necessary
for the construction of the well,
and upon its arrival in Woodville,
he will come here and begin work
as soon as possible. The well
will be seven inches IN diameter,
and must furnish one hundred
gallons of water per minute, when
operated continuously for ten
hours, which will of course fur
nish an abundant supply of water
for all needs and purposes.
The only obstacle now in the
way of a system of Water-works
for the town, is the failure to find
a sufficient water supply, which is
not at all likely to be the CASE
This, with electric lights will
prove q great benefit and conve-
nience to our people and will be
an incentive to people to come
and cast their lot with us. No
town can expect to grow and
prosper in these times of push
and energy without such comforts

The cause of the death Of such a
large per cent of the horses and
mules shipped from New Orleans
to South Africa during the past
two years, has been traced to the
contemplate work of Boer agents,
who gained admission to the stock
yards at Chalmette and injected the
animals with Charlton and CLAN
ders, and causing an epidemic of
these diseases when the animals
were landed. New Orleans must
necessarily suffer from the dirty
work of the Boer agents, as no
more stock will be received in
South Africa from that port. Hang
ing would be too good for the
perpetrators.
