TERRITORIAL MINING.

Ben Bible and John Westfall dis covered and located copper vein two miles from Florence, Wednesday, and brought in specimen of ore about the size of Kansas pumpkin. Ben Bible, who was raised here, but left before he was old enough to know any thing about mining. remembered see ing this vein when he was a mere child, and as he was here attending court. concluded to go and examine it. He invited John Westfall to go along. The ore looks as if it would run well in both copper and gold Florence Blade.
 Work which was stopped for few days on the White mine has been re. sume i. the force being larger. than be- fore. In this mine there is one tunnel l90 feet deep and another about 200 with values well maintained. The Black Rock mine, a quarter mile dis tant. looks better ever yday. On the 200 foot level the crosscut has now crossed a vein nearly 200 feet wide though it is very low grade. The val ues. however. are rich enough to work with an appropriate rplant. The prop erty is one bonded by Sam Powell to a Canadian company.
 On the Pitt and Fort Scott properties work has been resumed by a good force of men under Captain T. G. Cree, James Gray of this city, who is inter ested in the Drumm mine, also put men to work this week. mining cross cut. The Electra mine in that same region. is making a. fine showing. At The den.aa or 200 feet drift was start ed which is now in about fifty feet and the vein is holding it's own both in size and -alues.
 At the Vul.ure mine southwest of Wickenburg, the annual assessment work which has been going on for some time, has developed some new values ia wuIfenite ore. This dis covery-was made in a new shaft that is being sunk-Republican.

The Copper Market.

The American Meal Market says: The copper market is easy. We hea.- rumors of offerings of all grades at lower prices, Lake at 11.75, electro'y- tic at IFS and casting at 11.55. We are unable to confirm at this writing the truth of such rumors, but i5 would seem from the existing conditions as if there was some basis for the re- ports. Inquiry from consumers has dwindled to insignificant proportions and speculative inquiry is nil.
 A representative of one of the larg- est copper selling concerns in this country says: T cannot understand why there should be bearish feeling regarding copper at this time. Condi- tions do not warrant it. There is practically no surplus of copper on hand. l know of two large companies which are sold up to April 1903. The brass trade is active, and a heavy buyer of copper"

 Aluminium in cochise County.
 Doubtless few people are aware that aluminium clay has been struck in large bodies in the old water seeking shaft just west of Glance Station, moreover. few people ar aware that it assays 36 per cent in the light, bright metal.
 Aluminium is gradually creeping inco the commercial and mechanical world, being preferable to iron, steel anc copper for multitude Of purposes on account of the lightness and the fact hat it is little subject to the action of the many elements ard properties with which it is brought in contact in scientific cuinery and other uses. The only trouble with the beautiful white metal is the cos. of production. It exists in nature as abundantly, per hsps as iron, but sufficiently process of extraction has not yet been invent ed At the same time 1t is becoming cheaper every day and deposit such as is disclosed at the Glance ought to be available for large operations. This demonstrates that there not metal O. importance in the commercial world. bu. what is represented in Cochise county.

GAS IN KANSAS CITY, KAS
ProspectOrs for Coal Find Strong
Flow at a Depth of 425
Feet

A strong flow of gas was struck Fri
day at midnight at the foot of Minne-
sofa avenue, in Kansas City, Kas.,
where the Wyandotte Coal and Oil
company has beer drilling prospect
shaft for the last two months. The
strike was made at a depth Of 42j feet
Various estimates have been made by
experts as to the flow, but nothing
definite is known at the present time.
1t is believed, however, that the yield
will not be less than 100, 900 feet per
day or more than 400, 600 feet. A pres
sure estimated at $50 pounds to the
square inch is shown by the gas.
Milo f. Lawrence, the promoter of
the WYandotte Coal and Oil company,
said this morning that large meter
would be attached to the well tomor-
row or Wednesday and the exact
measurement taken. He is confident
the strike is valuable enough to war
rant him in stopping further drilling
there. He will use the gas for manu-
facturing purposes and will at once
start hole in another place north oI
the present we'll. He mas a franchise
to prospect on the p ublic levee. His
company is looking for coal and will
sink the next well to a depth of roc
feet in search of coal.
Gas has been struck in paying quan
titles in several places in both Jack.
son and Wyandotte counties. The
Riverside mill, not 300 feet from Mr.
Lawrepce's we'll, has gas from well
drilled there many years ago. At two
other places brick yards have beenrui
with natural gas as fuel, but both o.
them have since been abandoned.

East siders say that everything is

Now is good time for the lola Com
mercial Club to do business. If these
people are not going to rebuild, get
somebody who will. Thework is here,
lots of it, and lola ought to see that
it is not carried out of town. If lola

bOWERSOCK RENOM|NAIED
One Ballot Told the Story, but There
was lnsurrection in the Air all
the Time.

On the first ballot at FIT. Scott Tues
day afternoon j. ID. Bowersock was
renominated as Congressman from the
Second District. After some wrang-
ling it was made unanimous, Wyan-
dotte county making it unanimous but
refusing to nominate by acclamationin in
spite of Bowersock' agreementto pay
Nathaniel Barnes S campaign expenses
Thestory is simple as it turned out but
the workings of the heconvention and the
caucuses could have meant anything.
A great deal of interest was attached
to the Allen county delegation. Mon
day night four of the delegates went
over. OF these two were openly for
Bowersock, one was for Henry Allen
and one talked as if the editor of the
REGISTER was to be the man. The line
up of the other counties was such that
Bowersock could win if no breaks oc-
counties were supposed to be ready if
a break came. Wyandotte county was
all the time shaking her 20 votes under
the noses of any good candidate who
would run.
Monday night was time of rumors.
Allen county had not instructed, part
of the delegates on the ground were
talking anti -Bowersock. The story
went around that Allen would send 10
votes against Bowersock One man
claimed he had talked with Frank
Travis over the telephone and had
been assured that Aliens ten votes
were for new man, either Henry AL
len or Chas. f. Scott. With this claim
it was not hard to interest Anderson
county, Bourbon was expected to break
at the first chaRce, Wyandotte was al
ways ready and the buzzing was fierce.
Tuesday morning the Kansas City
Journal arrived with a story of rum
ors. On the morning train r. l..
Travis and the rest of the Allen county
delegates arrived and firmly denied
that they were for anybody at any
time but Bowersock. That ended it.
|
ersock he was surely elected and the
other counties would be in. And that
is che way it turned out,
1t was reported at one time that the
opposition offered Henry Allen, OF
Ottawa, 50 votes, but he declined.
kilograms we're sent to Washington
but to no purpose. No candidate could
be induced to come out and unite the
opposition and it finally melted away.
One ballot named Mr.. Bowersock and
the second made it unanimous.
In justice to Mr.. Travis, of lola, il
should be said that he firmly denies
all the stories told. He says he con.
sidered -the Allen county delegation
instructed for Bowersock and never
told anyone anything else. He was
not on the ground until Tuesday morn.
ing and after his arrival refused tc
hear anything but Bowersock, and this
county cast her ten votes for that gen.
tleman.
Candidates for State offices were
thick and mixed with the crowd, shak.

THE BOIL WEEVIL AGAIN.


We should understand in the be-
ginning that there is no use in fight
ing boil Weeyil with remedies alone.
We must combine spraying with "cul-
ture methods This matter has been
fully covered u my reports, but |
wish to cmphasize now that it is only
by fgnting the alternating brood
which is short lived, in the spring.
That we can succeed in handling the
Doll weeyil When the summer brood
once appears, spraying for boil weeyil
IS useless. In this locality spray only
IN early May and throughout the
month of May. Failure to do this
accounts for the many failures that
people report in the use of poisons.
The alternating weevils come from
their place of hiding from March to
April, and by the end of May 95 per
cent of the winter brood has come
INTO sight, therefore the fight must
be made before June 1.
You can reduce the present broods
very much by turning cattle in to
feed off the leaves and squares now
in the fields, thus killing 95 per cent.
OF this present crop. 1t is remark.
able what fondness the cattle show
for the young squares and leaves
when first turned into the field. and
these are the points at which weevils
are to be found After grazing off,
cut the cotton down and leave it I'M
til after the first frost, when it should
be burned 1t will be found that by
Following this method large numbers
OF Weevil that secured shelter in the
old cotton stalks can be burned sue
cessfully. Winter blowing should also
be resorted to upon this land so that
the weeyils that are alternating in
the soil will be exposed more thor
oughly TO winter freezing.
The winter brood goes out in the
spring and feeds on cotton alone, 1t
never eats anything but cotton. 1t
may, however, be found accidentally
IN acorns or in nearly any place, be-
cause they are so numerous. They do |
not feed on peas and acorns. Many of

The melting Of fowls is no more a
