leaving nothing undone that might contribute to the successful operation of the mine or the safety of employees. The buildings around the main work ing shaft are cormodious and sub stantiaI, the framework being 0: struc- tural iron and the walls and roofs cf corrugated iron. leaving not the lea-t possible show for Contia grafton by fire. These buildings and the mines are lighted by electricity, the company owning and operating it's own electric plant.
 At present there are about 100 men employed in preparatory work, about as large a force as can be systemat- icaIly handled until the pumps shall have been installed and put in opera tion, when an additional force will be put on and increased from time to time as the development of the mines will warrant. Messrs. Gage. Murphy and Staunton are conservative mining men who deprecate anything that has tendency to boom The rehabiii- tation Of the mines is being rushed as rapidly as is consistent with good man agement, the great weight of the ma chinery and the excellence Of the wCrk precluding any noticeable rush.

WretChed Hot Weather
 Sufferers. Paine's Celery Compound SHOULD BE USED IN JULY
 AND AUGUST.

The extraordinary variable sp-lhs and early summer weather of the pres ent year has been the cause of a vast amount of sickness in every part or our country Strong men and women have been victims; the weak, rundown a-c sickly have suffered intensely, and many families now mourn the loss of near and dear ones.
 The nervous, weak, rundown and de- bilitated should now devote their best energies and attention to health build ing, so as to enable them to withstand the enervating effects of the approach ing hot weather.
 The use of Paine's Celery Compound will soon bring a return of true physi- cal strength; the nerves will be fel andA braced; the blood will be made purer and richer: digestion will be cor rected, and sweet, refreshing sleep will take the place of insomnia and irrita- bility.
 Paine's Celery Compound is doing q marvellous work for the sick and sui :ering at this time. It is the onl! preparation that possesses value ard virtue for recruiting the strength anJ spent energies of weakly and sick peo- pie in summer time. The trial of ont bottle will give you happy results

THE pENsOM SHELTER
Material Arriving and Its Early
 Completion is Assured.

A gentleman closely connected with the custom shelter to be erected at Benson was a visitor to Tombstone the other day. A Prospector reporter who queriod as to the progress being made with the enterprise was answered as follows
 "Some newspapers have been kind enough said the gentleman, ito ci-- crlate the report that we had aban- Goned Benson for the time being, fear ing that the much talked-of snelter for Tucson would, if constructed, de- tract from such an enterprise at Ben son. Such statements are unfounded. Why such reports nave been given publicity it is difficult to conceive. The smelter proposition is legitimate business enterprise, whose promoters feel safe in making personal invest
 f9ents without the aid Cf corporation stock. Those interested are men of means who believe they can see in Benson an ideal loca tion for 9 shelter. As an evidence that the smelter is an assured fact it is only necessary to i state that twenty-five tons of castings are now on the ground and in order to expedite matters contracts with east ern founGries have been cancelled and the orders placed with California firms There are yet fifteen tons Of castings to arrive, which will be on the ground within the next thirty days. The ca pacity of the plant will be 100 tons per day of tWenty-four hours. The struc- ture will be rushed to early comple- tion."

Mines and Minerals
 ef Arizona
BOILERS AND PUMPS
Tombstone Consolidated Eas Largest
 Ever Brought 10 Arizona.

Contention hill presents a busy scene since the machinery for the Consoli- dated Mines company has begun to ar rive and is being placed in position. says the Prospector. Two of the four mammoth marine boilers are on the ground and one has been placed ia po- sition, but the stone work in the boiler room is complete and the work Of placing the huge steamers can now be accomplished in a very short time. These are the largest boilers ever brought to Arizona, and in all prob ability the largest on the Pacific coast. Each boiler weighs f5.OOO pounds: they are sixteen feet in length, nine and a lalf feet tkrc'3gh, twelty-eisht and al half feet in circumference and have one hundred and eight flues: the ca pacity of each boiler is 250 horse power. Two boilers are supposed to 60 the work, but two will be kept in reserve as a precautionary measure against accidents. The pumps are also the largest ever brought to this territory. and are specially designed for the work they are intended to perform. Some idea may be gained of their enormous weight when it is learned that c2e compartment Of the 8x25-foot shat and a portion of the steel gaNows frame were constructed especially for lowering them. There are half dozen or more of these pumps. which will be placed at intervals of 100 feet from present water level, and when in on eration will throw a stream that will produce 6 small river.

The following items O. mining news in the vicinity of Wicl-enburg are from the latest issue of the News s-Herald:
 The last car of machinery, including
 a large Corliss engine, arrived for the
 Socorro Gold company Monday. The
 plant was furnishd by the Llewellyn
 Iron works of Les Angeles and it is .
 fine one in every respect.
 The last payment has been made on the Profusion group, and it is probable that extensive development work will soon be made by the co.lpany now owning the same.
 Dan McNeil and Chic Rogers are in
 from the Sweet SeXtette group. They report several interesting tussies with Wailapai tigers during the last week. No one seriously injured.
 The first leads of ore from the Bis5ee Belle mine Were brought into town Tuesday. Orosco and Montoyo are do- ! ing the freighting. The Bisbee Belle is | located about fifteen miles northeast
 O: here and the ore is being handled
 over the new road lately put into that section, making it feasible for the [ Kingston. Buckhorn and ether proper i ties in that section to do their business
 With Wickeaburg. We understand that a number of men are being worked on ! the Bisbee Belle, and that the show l ings are such as warrant extensive de- i Velopment work. That section is well mineralized and a number of promis- i ing properties are being developed by i outside capitalists, most of whom gre from Les Angeles and othe. Califor-
 mia. points.
 i J. F. Johnscn, a1 expert s-nelterrlan,
 arrived here Thursday and has entered l the employ of the Wickenburg Snelt- ing company. The large well being sunk is now down about twenty-one feet and in solid cement. Considera bic water has been encountered. The com pany is vigorously prosecuting deveI- Opment work on the Ryland Lead and Silver mine and other properties which 1 it has purchased or leased. The ma i chinery has been purchased and is ex- l pected here some time next month. A sale was made by Judge K ely to 1 |. c. Dewitt for $5.GG0 of tie property Y 1 located four miles from town and hav- i ing but thirty-fVe feet O: development i done upon it. MT. Dewitt says. how ever. that the samples taken from the i bottom of the shaft by him averaged better than any he had ass2yed in this
 section. The property will be worhod i extensively as soon as arrangements can be made. and will add considera bly
 to the business here when full force

THE PERFECT LIVER MEDICINE.

Mrs M. A. Jolley, Noble, O. T., writes: II have used Ecrbine for a number of years and can cheerfully recommend it as the most perfect liver medicine. and the greatest blood puri- fer. It is a medicine of positive merit. and fully accomplishes all that is claimed for it." Malaria cannot find lodgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, for one of its functions is to prevent the absorption of fever producing poisons. Heroine is most efficient liver regulator. 50c at Elvey & Hulett's, the Live Druggists.
