DEAR SIR:-I wish to extend to you

ment of claim under Policy OF Life In
surance held by my late husband
Franklin Pierce Breneman, In the
Aetna Life Insurance Company, OF Hart

it became claim. The policy was de-
stroyed by fire the day after my hus-

date the claim, as you, the representa-

and fixed up the necessary papers for
payment of this claim.
further wish to thank you as we'll as

teous manner In which the claim was
adjusted. Yours very truly,

THE CLUMSY MAN.
You Can Never Be Sure of What His

The great virtue about the really
clumsy man is that he never exhausts
his capabilities When you think
that the bedrock is reached, there is
still lower depth. If q detrimental
relative should exist, the clumsy man
asks after his health with great par
ticularity and will not be satisfied UNI
til he receives a full and detailed re-
ply. Should there be any incident
in your past which everybody has
generously agreed to forget It is the
clumsy man who seizes the one, the
inevitable opportunity. when the club

 While the Adventure mill is not a success as a whole it is unfair to Call i; a failure. The trouble lies With a number of little things rather than in any serious error of general plan or equipment.
 The flow of Lake Superior capital into western mining fields continues. The bulk of this money is going into Ari- zona. and the Bisbee district. in Cochisr county. is getting most of the cash money. That all of the money SD invested will result in the opening Of profitable mines can scarcely be eX- pected, but there are number of prop critics that are of far more than ordl- nary promise. Developments of the past three years demonstrate that the Bisbee district of Arizona and the MocteZuma and Cananea districts of northern Sonora are among the best copper fields of the world. This IS proven by the opening of such magnifi- cent mines as the Greene Consolidated at La Cananea, and the Calumet ani Arizona at Bisbee. Figures from the new smelter of the C. & A. at Douglas Arizona, indicate that the returns are better than 10 per cent copper which is remarkably high figure for ore that is being mined in large quantities. though ore of much higher grade Is frequently found in small deposits. The Calumet and Arizona has added greatly to the wealth of the Lake district, and there are several development cont panies. controlled by local capital. op- erating in the same neighborhood. with excellent prospects.

The Republican is in receipt of Bulle- tin No. issued by the California Pe- troleum Miners association, whose of fices are in the Mills building. San Francisco It is devoted largely to a paper on the oil fields of California. read by Dr. C. r. Desne. secretary of the association. at it's annual conyen- tion It handles many features of the oil industry and is rich in data regard ing it. The following excerpt will be interesting to all:
 There are now in California 2,500 pro. ducing wells, situated in fourteen diff ferent districts, as follows: Ken River, Sunset, Midway, McKittrick Coalinga, Santa Maria, Los Angeles. Fullerton, Puente Whittier, Ventura, Summerland, Brea Canyon and San Mateo; of these, the chief oil producing districts are Kern River, Sunset, Me Kittrck and Midway in Kern county, Coalinga in Fresno county, Fullerton in Orange county and Santa Maria, or Carreaga, in Santa Barbara county.
 The total consumption of oil in Cali fornia in 1900 was 100000 barrels; 1901, 5000, 900 barrels; in 1902 it will be 12,- 100000 barrels, and the estimated con- sumption for 1903 is 10000, 900 barrels.
 Of oil in ore reduction MT. Deane says: It has not yet been demon strated that iron ore can be smelted in commercial quantities with oil. al- though it has been done as a laboratory process, but there are many who believe that it is only a question of time when this will be accomplished: but even of coke, we will have a goodly supply at probably reduced figures when the great refinery of the Standard Oil com pany gets into operation in few months from now, as I understand, they will not make asphaltum, but coke.

GATES CONFESSION
The Life Story of Boy Who Became
 a Thief at Sixteen.

Dan Gates. the young man who was arrested at Maricopa for the burglary of Thayers hardware store was brought before Justice Burnett yester- day for arraignment. He put in plea for mercy. He offers in extenuation of his offense that he was hungry, leaving the court appalled, at an appetite that it would take a whole hardware store to satisfy one O; the seventeen revolvers he stole, one of the twenty-five razors or two of the high-priced pocket knives would have stood off starvation for little while.
 Gates presented a written confession to the court. being also a biography of brief but very eventual life. The document is one of the strongest of the kind on record and considering that 1t was prepared by a sixteen-year old boy it seems a pity to immure such a budding literary genius. It might be well for the court to put him in for a little while to teach him succinctness of style. though after all it is difficult to see how all that he had to tell could have been told in fewer words.

MEXICAN CoPPE R co.
Active Development Begun on Solid
 Ore Body.

w. F. Deity and w. C. Foster off cers of the Arizona Mexican Copper Co.,. otherwise known as the Poveedord company received some gcoi news from the mine yesterday by wire The property Is situated southwest of Altar forty miles from the coast and though the company sometime ago secured titles from the Mexican government it was not until November 25th that it's affairs were put in the proper financial shape to begin operations. Work was then begun in road building and camp making and last Saturday a good force was started in the actual development of the property.
 The ore deposit is a vein 265 feet in width with we'll defined walls and run
 ming into the mountain side at an angle of 42 degrees. It is designed to sink
 shaft from near the cropping of the
 hanging wall on the upper side of the vein and at the same time run a tunnel
 in from the cropping of the foot wall.
 By the time the two openings meet the
 greater part of the vein will have been | crosscut with the work. It is inn practicable to take a great deal of ore from the shaft on account of the steep ness of the hill there so the main work | ings will eventually be by the tunnel ] Forces of men are now at work in both | openings.
 The good news that came yesterday
 was in respect Of the tunnel. In pre- vious preliminary work an open cut
 had been made In the face of the crop 1 pings for about thirty-five feet It
 was rough and slightly up hill When
 work was begun Saturday it was to straighten up this cut and level it ' down for a tunnel floor preliminary to 1 penetra ting the hill. The news re- lceived yesterday from their foreman
 was that the cut had all been straight
 ened up and he had begun the tunnel l in the hill side. the open cut and tunnel both being in solid ore. This of course was just what was expected but , 1t is pleasing to have things work out the way they are wanted to. While | the development of the property is scarcely begun there is every reason [ to believe it will be unnecessary to waste powder blasting anything but good milling ore.
