SHAFT HOUSE BURNED.

H. E. Armitage came in from the Hercules group of mines, White Pi- cacho district, Thursday, says the Prescott Courier. Last Monday, about neon, he had the misfortune to lose his shaft house by fire. the origin of which must have been spontaneous combus- tion, as no one was there and no fire was left there. The shaft house was destroyed; the gasoline tanks exploded and some damage was done the hoist Elr. Armitage was net surprised at the mishap, as the heat of the sun is in tense in that section at this season. A piece of steel left in the sun gets so hot that it actually makes a hissing sound when any moisture comes in contact with it. When the fire oc- cured MT. Armitage was preparing to start another drill hole, having drilled at the point where the fire was to a depth of TOO feet through formations carrying iron, copper and gold. The mishap will delay operations for sev- eral weeks. It is a matter of regret that such an accident occurred, but this will not long retard the develop ment of these promising properties.

MINING NOTES.

The Val Minta Mining company, which was incorporated recently by B. J. Hatmaker of Buffalo, N. Y, has twelve or fourteen men employed de Veloping group of six claims iE Mint valley district north of Granite noun tain. The claims were formerly owned by J. II. Lee of the American ranch and they are near the Bald Butte claim, which was worked a few years ago by MT. Mergenthaler, inventor of the linotype. The veins are gold bear ng.-Journal-Miner.
 It is reported that the Octave con- pany has struck a body of extremely rich ore at the 9O0-foot level of their mine The ore is said tC go as high as $2O0 per ton and the ore body is five feet wide, though it . is probable that the entire width of the body does not give the above values. The company has another shaft on it's property HOO feet deep at which depth there is an ore body eight feet in width which goes $26 per ton in gold. A superabundance of water has been struck in the latter shaft.-Journal-

IN TENSION DISTRICT
New York Han Will Develop Mines
 Near Old Fort Bowie.

". N. Failing and little son of Buff falo. N. Y, were in Fl Paso last Sat urday en route to Teviston, Ariz., where MT. Failing has extensive gold mining interests.
 Speaking of his mission to a reporter of the News MT. Failing said:
 T have eight claims in the Lewiston district about old Fort Bowie in Co., chise county, which I regard as very valuable. Only two. the Mountain Rose and the Upper Spring, have been developed much as yet and principally assessment work having been done on the other claims, but I am going to spend several months in this section this trip, making Fl Paso my head quarters, and develop all of my claims thoroughly. If the results are what l am sure they will be I shall arrange at once for extensive mining"
 MT. Failing is also largely interested about Guerdon, Ark, where he has purchased 10000 acres of land. This property is in an oil district and he is sinking two wells there. The ground also contains asphalt and he is prepar- ing to develop that.

YUKON MINING CLAIMS
Final Payment of Sale Made to Pitts
 burg Men Yesterday.

One year ago J. H. Roberts gave to Pittsburg men a bond on his Yukon mining property in the Black Rock dis trict, sixteen miles east of Wickenburg, Q partial payment being made at the time. Yesterday a final payment was made on the bond, the deeds were taken from escrow in this city and title passed to the Pittsburg men.
 The amount of the purchase price has not been made public, but a neat sum in cash changed hands, and MT. Roberts also retains an interest in the prop erty. The new. owners viii incorporate for the expioitat ton of the mine and a block of the stock will by agreement go to the seller. What the name of the new company is to be has not yet been given out.
 The property consists of a group of several copper and gold claims on which considera ble work has been done and lies close to the well-known Inde- pendence group. Its appearance is said to be very promising by mining men who have visited it. There is sufficient water for camp purposes on the ground, and there will be little trouble in de- veloping a milling supply when it is needed. The new owners propose to develop the property on an extensive scale just as soon as the preliminaries are arranged.

The peerless duo, Keiffer and Diamond, two world famous vaudeville artists. will head the specially features during the balance of the Curtiss engagement. These clever artists come direct from New York city, where they have just closed a very successful cement at the famous Proctor's theater and a three weeks engagement at Keith's, where they were the top-liners among a corps of artists who represent the brightest stars in the vaudeville world. MT. Keiffer and Miss Diamond were men- bers of the Curtiss company two sea sons ago, and last season appeared as principal features with Murray and Mack's Shooting the Chutes" company (eaStern). These two clever artists have for years been receiving the high est salary paid to artists in their par ticular line, and their splendid reputa- tion lends much honor to any organi- zation they appear with.

The Cuban Republic.

Conditions in Cuba have been much improved since the Americans took con- trol of affairs. and since they are now free to manage their own affairs the question arises as to their ability to maintain self-government. The ex- pertinent will be watched with much interest. In this case it is a worthy experiment. but if you are sickly it is not advisable to experiment with any of the many so-called health restorers that have no merit. The only way to recover your health is to perfect the di- SestiOn, keep the bowels open and the blood pure.

showing of this excellent property and said in part:
 Yes, I have been out to the Modern property and have certainly seen what bids fair to be one Of the great mines of this section of the world. It would be difficult to imagine a more pronais- ing showing.
 There is plenty of ore and the mine furnishes ample water for the supply of the machinery plant. I picked up pieces of rock on the dump that banned out big quantities cf gold.
 Besides this, the site is one of the very best for a camp Qevel and desir- able for a town site) and is corVen- tent for hauling to and from the rail- road.

The Larger Half

The Same in Phoenix as Elsewhere. The bigger half of worldly trouble,
 The greater part of mankind's suffer- ing,
 Can safely be laid to the kidneys.
 Kidneys filter the blood.
 Keep the human system healthy.
 But they can't do this when they're sick
 Easy to tell sick kidneys.
 Look at the back for the note of warning.
 Most backache pains are kidney ills.
 Twitches, twinges, pains and aches of a bad back.
 Should be treated promptly.

 Cure every form of kidney ills.
 Here is proof of this:
 Mrs. NJ Meyers, midwife, living at 112 South fifth street, St. Louis, says: Perhaps in following my calling, from lifting or from some other cause, I may have cver-strained the muscles of my back. Be that as it may, I have had attacks of backache for two years, lat terly almost constant. It hurt me more in the morning than in any other period of the day, and has on more than one occasion been so severe that I could scarcely turn in bed. I knew from the condition of the kidney se- cretions that my kidneys were at fault but what to do was a mystery. was continually trying sure-cure remedies to cure kidney complaint, but I met with very little if any success until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. From the benefits I received from the treat ment I have net the slightest hesita- tion in very emphatically indorsing the preparation. 1 have studied medicine and understand the symptoms of kidney complaint. No one ill St. Louis if they try Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney complaint will be disappointed in the results"

MINING AT MoRRIsTOWN
Great Activity, Recent Sales and 9th
 CTS Soon to Follow.

Morristown, Ariz., July 26.-(Special correspondence of The Republican)- Nothing much is being said regarding this small hamlet but at the same time there is great activity in the mining business, and indications now point to many new developments which will in the very near future bring Morristown greatly to the front.
 The Garcia mine, which has been closed down for two years, is now run ming full blast, the workings all being in good ore. and the ten-stamp mill al ready on the ground is being renovated and will very soon be crushing the big piles of ore now accommodating on the dumps.
 The White Cloud and Exposition camps under the management of MT. H. William Stevens, are working to their utmost capacities, while at the Eddy camp just three miles away to the north they are drifting on the 2O0- foot level in high grade sulphides MT. Hall, the superintendent, says that sinking will continue until the 500- foot level is reached. by which time sufficient ground will have been opened up to insure a steady working camp. T. |. Dalton of Phoenix was in town Friday to write up few fire policies, ' | and incidentally to attend to q few preliminaries concerning the resump- tion of work on the Desert Group, only five miles away.
 The sale of the Winters group tc | Chicago parties, mention Of which was made in recent issue of The Repub- lican, has greatly strengthened the ! faith of local holders and has also haC tendency to make investors hurry LII pending negotiations.
 Charles Shellenberger, superintend- ent of the Riverside Copper company has just received word from his people that work will begin at once on thei, property which lies on the west bank of the Hassayampa river only two miles from Morristown.

high grade ore, immediately to the west, continues into the property con- trolled by this company. It is pro- posed to fully develop the ore bodies, already discovered, by shafts, tunnels, etc, and to thoroughly prospect the claims. We believe that this will show that the ore bodies are large and val uable. The principal development on the properties is on the Emerald claim where a shaft has exposed sulphide ore assaying from s to 10 per cent copper. In tunnel 90 feet below the collar of this shaft, sulphide ore assaying over per cent copper has been found. We believe this to be the most important undeveloped suiphide ground not owned by the other large companies (Arizona Copper company, Detroit Copper company and shannon Copper company operating in the district. For the purpose of making additional pay ments and furnishing the necessary money for the development, we offer 25,000 shares of the full paid, non assessable stock in this company at three dollars a share
 The Thompson investment company financed the Shannon Copper company, which is now recognized as one Of the strongest companies operating in Ari- Zona. There is no question of the abil- ity of the Thompson company to raise all the money necessary for the devel- opment and equipment of the property, which is in a tested district, and some of the claims are adjoining some of the best known producing ground in the camp. The Era believes that the Cor onado company has a bright future be- fore it, and will in few years be one of the producing companies of this district.
