The Imperial ice cream, confec- tionary and lunch rooms have been reopened. Messrs. Shumate & Raible having secured the elegant furniture and fixtures of that institution and opened the place for business last Saturday. Owing to a delay in a consignment of freight, they were un- able to open the lunch department until today, but they are now in shape for anything in the line of ice cream, sodas and soft drinks of all kinds, lunches, hot coffee, tomales, etc, and one of the finest lines of confectionery ever seen in Prescott, including full line of home made candies fresh every day. Mir. Chas. Asche has been secured in this department which is guarantee of as good can dies as ever tickled the taste of any one.
 The Imperial is one of the hand samest resorts of this kind n the west and under the able management of Messrs. Ed Shumate and Charles Raible will be one of the most popu- lar, as these gentlemen have the rep utation of being masters in their line.
 One of the principal features of the place will be the oyster parlor, which is a perfect dream of beauty, in its equipment, and arrangement. Large plate glass mirrors reflect from every side while the glare of beautiful elec- tric lights make it most beautiful place. The entire interior of the building, however, is in harmony and affords splendid place for a person to enjoy a good dish of oysters or a nice warm lunrh,

Russian Mining Law.

The mining law in force in the Russian empire has as its funda- mental principle the tenet that min eral wealth is movable property and bears no relation to the estate on which it is found. The right of the operator to hold the ground ceases when he shall have exhausted the mineral resources therein contained. In other words, the tenure is practi- cally perpetual lease from the gov ernment-that is, absolute title guar anteed so long as the small annual taxes are paid. The provision that the tenure is good ansil the mineral is exhausted is explained by the fact that until recently almost all the gold mining of Russia and Siberia was placer mining and that when the gravel had once been worked over it was intended that the operator shonld not stand in the way of further de- velopment.

Suuanderjng Money.

One who keeps an account of every cent of daily expenditure, will soon observe how much has been unneces- sarily spent. Thousands of men squander money enough on the vari- ous vices of life, says the Las Vegas Optic, to supply many comforts for which the good, hard working wife at home longs, and which in reality deserves. How many on pay day reason, there is at my home weary, overworked woman who washes and scrubs, digs, works and tolls to make my home bright and happy and this money I have received I am in duty bound to give to her7 Many, no doubt, forgetting duty to wife and home and children, squander the money they need, and to which they are by right entitled, in various forms of vice and dissipation. A word to the husband and father who does this: Is it quite fair that you should thus dissipate earnings which, if spent at home, would relieve your wife and children, which would bring happiness to the heart of the mother of your children and make them bet teri
 O, ye working men and toilers, pause and reflect, and first of all pay up out of the monthly wages the bills you have incurred during the month and give the rest of your hard working wife for a rainy day. Try it for this year and see if it does not bring contentment and gladness to your home life with improved credit and prosperity.

G. H. Frisbe's Death.

Word has been received in Prescott of the death in Kansas City of G. H. Frisbe from the effects of a surgical operation which was performed upon him a few weeks since. The opera ton was the removal of a tumOr from the thigh.
 Mir. Frisbe left Prescott a few weeks ago in apparently the best of health and nothing more serious was thought of the operation than that it would confine him to the hospital for a few days. The operation was per formed and all seemed to be going well and he was up and around again, when he took back set and complications set in which resulted in his death.
 Mir. Frisbe was born in Germany, where he was given a splendid educa- ton, including that of mineralogy, in which branch he was considered quite an expert, He had been largely identified with mining interests all over North America forabout fourteen years and at the time of his death he was interested in some very large propositions in this territory, includ- ing the Ono Cobra Mining company in Yuma county.
 He leaves wife, who is at present. in Kansas City, looking after the affairs of his estate.

Reports from the Bonanza gold mine, in the Casa Grande district are very hattering. Some very rich free gold was taken out this week. This property is owned by John c. Loss and others, who in- tend to sink the present shaft to depth of 800 feet.--Arizona Blade.
 President Con O'Keefe of the So- nora Milling & Mining O., accompa- nied by Mrs. O'Keefe and the child ren, have gone to the Tubutama mines on the Altar river. Dan Shea of Jerome, brother of Mrs. O'Keefe, who is a heavy stockholder, was a member of the party. President OKeefe will make his headquarters at the mines during the erection of the big smelter, which will be blown in on Washington's birthday.-Tuc- son Post.
 Lately we have received literature describing a drill that is to make min ing easy, so easy that a person can take hold of crank and by turning slowly, strike five hundred pound blows at very rapid rate. Such statements for the machine should be looked upon with suspicion, to ex- press it mildly. And we would ad wise miners to put to practical test the drill before investing a penny. It is certain that the power to strike a five hundred pound blow must come from the machine, and it is no less true that the machine can give noth ing that it does not receive from the operator. If it did, itwould oyerturn some of the best established princi- ples of philosophy. Such rapid blows could only come from man at the expense of distance and this is precluded by the statement that the machine is turned slowly. This hand operated drill may be of advan tage in directing the blow-but that it is anything more is out of the question.-Ex.
 There are occasions when club-a large club-heavily loaded is the best means of driving common sense into the heads of investors in mining properties, observes the Lead and Zinc News. It is good method and usually productive of results. Some very excellent mining propositions have been turned into complete fail ures by the investors themselves de- ciding to send a favored son" or some broken down business man out to manage a mining venture. Such decisions have, in isolated cases, proved reasonably successful. But there is not a mining camp west of the Mississippi river which cannot point to more instances of this char acter in which the investors have lost the greater portion of all their invest ments. Mining, when conducted with the same business caution that the average commercial venture requires, is equally safe and mors profitable. No business man would think of turn ing over the management of his af- fairs to green man, and yet many of those same business men, ordinarily level headed, will consent to turn a mining enterprise over to green man. Under competent management, conducted with the same care that a wholesale or retail business is carried on, mining is as safe an investment as can be secured. When the presence of ore in paying quantities is known then the elimination of the element of chance IS accomplished with more than a reasonable certainty. Don't forget when starting mining enter prise that cheap management is most | frequently the it'dst estravagsnt in Inc long funi

Mineral Wealth of Arizona.

The outside world is coming to un- derstand the immense resources of Arizona mining men and mining cap ital are turning very generally to- ward this territory. The output of its mines are increasing rapidly. The development of new mines is far in excess today of any time in the his tory of mining in Arizona. The gen. eral outlook was never half so good as today. In every mining district of any reputation, rich mineral is being developed in most hopeful quantities.
 One of the most encouraging signs is the fact that local capital in every section of the territory is investing in mining development, and is becom- ing owners of some of the most prom ising mines of that mineral region. But in these days of mining prosper ity, investors guard against the wild cat schemes of Eastern adventures, who foist worthless mining stocks on the Eastern markets at the expense of the good name of Arizona's legiti- mate mines and mining men.
 The seal of condemnation must be placed on every stock -jobbing scheme known to be without merit, for such are great injury to meritorious min ing interests.-Tucson Star.

 diagonally by dykes of trachyte and

 we'll defined, and have apparently the
 same dip as the mother lode, to the east or into the mountain, at about 25 degrees from the vertical, On the summit of Loretta peak and again on the main ridge running southward, the porphyry formation ends in gran ite, and the contact is marked by strong iron croppings, Several of the veins can be traced southward for over a mile, ending in either the main Swiss Girl lode or else in the noun tain of iron porphyry quartz on the Iron Mask and Iron Cliff claims, but nowhere do they show so much nor so rich copper ore as within the four claims mentioned to the north.
 Work is progressing satisfactorily on the two main shafts intended to be sunk to depth of 500 feet, namely on the Laura and the Swiss Girl claims, and I am in hopes to be able to chronicle some very good news for our stock holders within a few weeks time. Let our friends know that they will find accommodations at Camp Baumann at all times and I will be pleased to show them our to satisfy them of the ulti- mate great value of the Baumann Copper company's mines"

Needles Excited.

A telegram from Needles says: Citizens here are greatly alarmed over the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the suit affecting the title of railroad lands, as 1t in wolves the title to the town site of Needles. The town is situated on one of the sections granted to the Southern Pacific years ago, but was declared forfeited by the government because of the failure of the railroad to comply with their contracts.
 During the past few years the town has grown to considerable propor- tions and many thousands of dollars lars have been expended by individ- uals in improving property, to which they supposed they would soon ac- quire title, as it was generally thought the repeated decisions of the United Strtes Circuit Court declaring the railroad titles invalid had made their claims secure. If the reported de- cision of the Supreme Court is vic tory for the Southern Pacific com pany, it will practically ruin hun dredS.

looking Better Every Day.

So says Jules Baumann, general manager of the Baumann Copper Co. of the prospect, having just returned from his periodical visit to the exten- sive property of that corporation. He is most enthusiastic over the result of present operations at several of the claims, where assessment work for the year 1901 has just been com pleted. In a letter to the editor of this paper MT. Baumann expresses himself as follows:
 Our property is looking better every day. While engaged last sum- mer in rebuilding monuments over the entire Baumann group of twenty five claims, I discovered a new lode directly on the adjoining side line be- tween the Red Cross and the Loretta, the two north end claims of the great Swiss Girl lode system. They are located on the west slope of Loretta peak, which, with its twin brother, Fl Capitan, two miles further southward and directly back of the Val Verde smelter, holds silent watch over the peaceful valley of the Agua Fria. I prospected this new vein several hun dred feet, and wherever I dug into it, found good copper ore. I now have a shaft sunk thereon about twenty feet deep, and find a well-defned ledge of highly mineralized quartz, fully five feet wide, containing some very high grade copper and gold ore, simi- lar Tn appearance to that of the ad- joining Laura mine, from which I had shipped considerable ore in re- cent years. The new discovery, how ever, is not the Laura vein, for that can be traced on the surface 300 feet further up the mountain.
 Although I have always held a high opinion of this portion of our ground, 1 am more convinced than ever of the existence here of large and rich ore bodies, at no very great depth either. The north end of the Laura and Manzanita, together with the Loretta and Red Cross claims, contain yeritable network of min eralized quartz veins east of the Swiss Girl mother lpds, all m lively look

4 CALL TO ACTION.
Chairman zuek of the Ststshood Fi- nance Committee Makes
 Urgent Call

The following leLter mas been re- ceived by J. c. Martin, a member of the statehood finance committee from this county, urging immed- fate action on the part of all citizens of Arizona who desire the blessing of statehood. Much has already been said on this impor- tant subject, but the time has come when good sensible action is the only thing that will be of any benefit to the cause. Movements like this necessitate the expendi- tuIe of more or less money, and in this instance where all are alike to be benefited, it is only just and fair that all should bear their just proportion of the financial burden. MT. Zuck's letter will speak for itself.
 "Holbrook, Arizona, Jan. t2, 1902. My Dear Sir: It is now an assured fact, that the commis- sioners selected at the statehood convention to represent our terri tory in the interest of statehood at Washington will not perform the duties expected of them, and that it now becomes the necessary duty to arrange for others to fill these important stations; in order to ac- complish which the committee on finance must act promptly that the work in hand may be accomplished.
 1 have waited until 1 deemed the necessity for action to be upon us; that time having now arrived, the duty is incumbent on me as your chairman to call on every commit teeman to at once enter energeti- cslly upon the performance of the duty whereunto you have been ap- pointed and to inaugurate such effective measures as will bring grand success to the cause we are endeavoring to consumate.
 To this end 1 advise and urge the calling of your citizens together in mass convention, preceding 1t by meetings held in every precinct, camp and schoolhouse in the county and so interest and enthuse all your people to the point of liberal contributions.
 In my own county the board of supervisors appropriated $500, to which our citizens have added $400 more with which we will send a member of the board to represent us in Washington.
 Placing implicit confidence in your ability and mature judgment to so manage the duties incumbent upon you as to bring sure and prompt means for abundant success in the consumation of what will re- suit in the greatest good to every inhabitant in the territory.
 Finally, I urge upon you imme- diate attention; enlist your friends and the energetic efforts of every friend of Arizona until every heart, every mountain top and valley is lighted by the fires of patriotic en- thusiasm, which will prove to all men that Arizona is always alive to its own interests, energetic and determined in demanding our God given right to rule and govern our own people as free and indepen- dent American citizens.
 Very respectfully yours,
 F. NJ. ZUCK, Chairman Statehood Finance Con-
 mittee.

 Mrs. s. S. Reeo who resides in
 this city, is in receipt of a letter from
 her husband, an employe of the Mud

 side of that project, and that the
 work of leveling off the ground on
 which to place the air compressors to
 run the drills was under headway.
 The tunnel on the Lynx Creek side
 will be of the same dimensions as that at the initial point, 9x10 feet, and it is generally given out that it will be utilized as an electric line. In length this tunnel will be over 5000 feet, and its completion is watched with interest.
 The new copper discovery, made by NJ. R. Chamberlin, of Willow Springs, on the high mesa, south of Black mountain and twenty eight miles southeast of Florence, is unusual in extent The deposit covers surface area of 5000 by 5400 feet. It carries copper, gold and silver, the copper running from five to forty-fve per cent. Weshall have more details of the discovery later.-Arizona Blade.
 The report of the director of the mint, Washington, D. C., of the gold and silver production in the U. s. during the year 1901 shows that Arizona, according to the pub hshed figures stands sixth in the list of gold producers and sixth, also, in the list of silver producers. The directors figures for Arizona are: Gold, $4,19S,5O0; silver, D. 905, 300 ounces. Colorado leads in both gold and silver, then, among gold producers come California, $15.730,700; Alaska, $6,904, 400; l South Dakota, $6,601 800; Mon- tana, $5,023, 300; then Arizona. The others are below the four mil lion mark. In silver production they come in the following order: Colorado, 20,S33, ,333 ounces; Mon- tana, 14,5OO,OOO; Utah, $1O,25O,- 900; Idaho, 100000; Nevada, A. 100000; Arizona, 2,995.500.

 Captain L. D. Phillips, agent of Douglass, Lacey x Go. of New York, is at the Ford hotel. He is on his regular bi-weekly visit to Phoenix, as he has been going from his headquarters in Prescott to the new smelter at the Santa Rita prop critics twice a month for some time. Captain Phillips is one of Arizona's best friends, for being a mining man of great experience, he has been in- in interesting large capital in the territory, and in the right way. Douglass, Lacey & Co.,, whom he represents, have in the last two years demonstrated their faith in several big mining proper ties by investing their money. And they =netAsimply buying mines, but are developing them and put ting up reduction works as rapidly as justified. The new concentrat- ing plant at Val Verde on the Agua Fria and the new smelter in the Santa Ritas, now almost ready to blow in, are two big monuments to their enterprise in this direction.- Republican.
