The rest of the formation in the five feet exposed by the shaft was porphyry. The shaft is now down
 1855 feet. Their foreman was here few days ago and reported that the vein was narrowing up trifie when he left the mine, and he did not know what the result would be. Yesterday they received a letter from him saying that the narrow ing process only lasted for two or three feet, and that the vein imme- diately widened out, or rather that the entire porphyry rock for the width of the shaft had become heavily mineralized, so the entire working is now in ore carrying good values. They propose to sink some distance further before cross cutting.

MINING NEWS.

Yuma Sentinel Col. Mike Nu- gent came in from Kofa Friday night, having in his charge a $50,- GOO chunk of gold bullion, repre- senting the past thirty days clean up of the King of Arizona, which was brought in for shipment. He returned Sunday night.
 Republican: The Iowa Mining and Development Company in- tends surveying it's claims for patenting. This is as it should be. Mining companies having valuable properties should always do this to secure the stockholders. Too often, when claims are not patented, they are lost because the assessment work is not done, and the stock holders suffer thereby. The prop erty of this company lies between that of the Monarch and the Fed eral, and we understand that it will spend $50,000 to $l0O,000 dew eloping it and erecting a mill. Cherry Creek is the scene of a great deal of mining activity.
 Clifton Era: A Mexican miner last week brought in seventeen pounds of gold quartz, from which Assayer Duffy Morrow secured twenty-one ounces of gold worth at least $14 per ounce. The rock was wonderfully rich, some of it being worth $100,000 per ton. The Mex ican would not tell where he got the rock, but said there was plenty more where that came from, and also that he would be back in few days with lot of it. Several old | prospectors had their eyes on him for several days intending to follow him out of town, but he managed | to give them the slip. It is thought that the Mexican has found the long lost Adams diggings.
 Republican,: The Federal Mining and Milling Company of Arizona, whose property is located in the Cherry Creek district, intends to develop its property at once. The company has exposed in thirty foot shaft and tunnel ledge which averages $30. The mill which they are going to erect will use the Me- Ghee process, new one in Arizona, but one which has been used suc- cessfully in other parts of the country. Just what the process is, is secret. The ore is crushed to pass through a quarter inch mesh screen, and then placed in vats in a solution of chemical and boiled; and then the gold is precipitated. This process precipitates the gold into fine bright colors similar to placer gold It is claimed that gold ore, free or base, can be treated at an expense of so cents per ton. Should this be the case, and the process work successfully in Ari- zona ores, there is no telling how much gold the territory will pro- duce in the next few years. The company is composed of capitalists from Deadwood, $. D., Chicago, Ills, and Muncie, Ind, and it ex- poets to have a mill in operation by the first of the year.

A Lake of Ink.

Men of science tell of the. exist
ence in Mexico of "lake of ink"
The body of water or ink or what
ever it is is so covered with the
ashes from the adjacent volcanoes
as to appear a part of the surround
ing ground, which is all of the same
dull tint. At first the party of pio-
neers who discovered the lake in
clined to the theory that it was but
a mere hole, but the condition of
the clothes of one of the party who
fell into it quickly disproved this,
for the dirt left an indelible stain.
1t was called ink forthwith, and, as
it blended readily with alcohol, one
of the craftsmen of the party took
the occasion to supply himself with
a good cheap quality of drawing ink.

The Proper Way to Introduce People

In making an introduction the
man is always taken to the lady to
be presented, and the formula is,
"NIiss A., may l present Mr.. B. ?"
Where two women or two men are
presented the elder is addressed
where the difference is marked. A
girl presents her friends to her
mother, but the mother says, cal
low me to present my daughter,
Mrs. Blank" A woman should rise
when another woman is presented
to her unless she is much younger
than herself. If a man is presented,
she retains her seat and bows and
smiles cordially. Men always shake
hands when introduced to each 9th
er. Women do so when desiring to
show especial friendliness.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

Care In Drying Linen.

In these days of factory made lin
ems it is especially essential that the
goods should be carefully Numbered.
The fiber of linen is easily cracked
when it is in frozen state, and for
this reason it is much wiser to dry
it in the house during the cold
weather. Old fashioned linen such
as our great-grandmothers wove
could be easily hung outdoors in
winter and allowed to bleach in the
frost as well as in the dew, but when
the fiber has been weakened by the
use of bleachers it is impossible that
it should wear like the old time
linens.
