property referred to Is located near Covered Wells, between Casa Grande and the Weldon camp. It's situation proper is in the Quijotoa district Lo- cal mining men know little about the property other than that it has gen erally been considered a valuable one They do not agree, however, as to the ore in sight; it has not been known that there was a property near Tucson with the above number of tons blocked cut.
 The property is being operated by the Producer Mining and Smelling com pany. The point of interest to local people. no doubt, lies in the fact that the company has purchased a shelter, which they will erect in the camp at an early date. The plant will be capable of reducing fifty tons per day. Frank Brownell is the superintendent of the property, and he is now on his way west to oversee the erection of the new plant. It is more than likely Pima county will have another big producer in the near future.

HOW SHE FIXED IT.

Every time I tell this story" bright society matron remarked, somebody accuses me of making it up but it is a true story, nevertheless.
 Up in the Virginia mountains this summer David and I took long walk to explore the wild country road near our hotel. Way up on the rough noun tain side was little cabin and, as I have most fervent human interest in the home life of all people remote from cites, I proposed that we visit the cabin, with the wayfarers' usual pre- text-to ask for a drink of water. In the one room of the small house were the usual furnishings, a few chairs, many dogs lying about, guns On the wall. a high bed in each corner, and q homely table spread with homely crockery in the center of the house. hold picture. A plain little woman, worn and aged, but very neat in calico frock and gingham apron, met us at the door and asked us in, while one of the rough boys lounging on the porch was dispatched to the spring for fresh water.
 Instead of the usual moun;aineer's S open HieplaCe, Nlin lTOn crane and kettles. was a surprising arrangement of a cooking stove mounted on a kitchen table. My glance reverted to this curious sight so often that our mountain hostess seemed constrained to explain.
 'You-uns ain't used ter seein' cook stoves fixed up hathaway, l reckon, she said apologetically. Pap, he got the cookstove down in town way las May, and he didn't think bout the stovepipe, an he didn't git huff to reach up to that there hole in the chimbly, so we-uns jes' histed the cook stove up on that there table till he gifts time [ go t town an git some more stovepipe. T'aint handy t climb up on a cheer t cook, an l wish t tn land papa hurry hisself an git t town arter that there stovepipe. It'd be a heap handler t hev that there cookstove down on the grOun'.'
 "Of course, 'we-uns' agreed with the good woman that her complaint was well based; but we praiseL her clever ness and originality in utilizing the kitchen table. Probably not one wo- man in 1O,O0O.OOO would have ever sug- gested that way out of the domestic difficulty. .'-Detroit Free Press.

 The preparation of mica for the mar ket is very simple. The books of rough mica having been freed from associated mineral, or dressed, are split into plates, which are then scribed or marked into patterns, and along this scribbing the mineral is cut by means of shears. A great deal of refuse is necessarily produced. The mica-waste is ground and used as a lubricating agent, and as an absorbent for nitro glycerine in the preparation of certain explosives. Ii has also been employed in the ornamentation of wall papers and to limited extent as substitute for asbestos.
 Experiments have shown the intens- ity of action of nitro glycerine in mica powder to be double that of an equal weight of liquid nitro-g glycerine.-Jour- nal For Investors.

THE ELECTRA MINE.

Advices from the Electra mine, be- tween Wade's and Gilbert, state that the shaft is now down over 200 feet and the ledge has Widened to over five feet, the entire width of the shaft now being in ore of a good grade. The shaft will be continued some distance further and drifts will be run along the vein. Sev- eral weeks ago the writer visited the property and the company certainly has fine surface showings and a strong lead, and at the depth then attained was taking out high grade copper gold ore.

Producer Mining Company Expects

A recent exchange from McI<eesport, Pa. contains a very interesting article on big Arizona mining property in which few capitalists of that city are stockholders, says the Tucson Citizen. The item will also be of interest to the people of this city because the property in question is located not many miles from Tucson.
 According to the article the company owns about 500 acres of the finest min cral land in southern Arizona. Con siderable development work has been done on the claims and there is said n be 5O,COO tons of ore in sight. The ore assays well in gold. silver and copper and is said to average over $50 to the ton.

 PROSPECTIVE INVESTMENT
Of Lower California Development Go.
 in Grand View Mine.

George r. Brown, field enginecr for the Lower California Development company, spent Sunday here looking at the Grand View group of claims, owned by Ed and Phil Wiggins and J. H. Sayre, says the Wickenburg News Herald. MT. Brown made a thorough examination of the property and took numerous samples. and while he had little to say, he seemed pleased with the showings seen and it is to be hoped his company will take hold of this excellent property.
 Mir Brown also visited the Gro Grande in company with Ed Wiggins and E. R. Hall of the News s-Herald. He was shown all through the mine from top to bottom and said it was a big thing, one of the finest and largest ore bodies he had ever seen. and was par ticularly pleased with the rich shoot of oXidized iron-quartz which was struck last week in the crosscut on the 900. Mr. Brown calculated that there was enough ore blocked out to keep 100 stamps dropping for several years, Ore of this character should be able to be treated at cost of $2 per ton and from the way the ore pans, the mine should be one of the biggest dividend payers in the country. Mir. Wiggins, who is one of the most experienced and practical mining and mill men in Ari- Zona. having been the chief engineer and mill man at the Vulture and liar qua Hala mines and later in charge of large properties in California, was greatly astonished at the great size and richness of the ore body and said that the Gro Grande alone would support one of the largest towns in this part of the territory. when the reduction works were running

THE MICA INDUSTRY.
Facts About the Value, Preparation
 and Use of the Mineral

There are four kinds of mica. Pepid olite, phlogopite, biolite and muscO- vite. Phlogopite contains magnesia. potash and a very little oxide of iron; is found in crystalline limestones, de- molite and serpentine. Biolite, dark green CT black. more iron. Lepidolite contains the rarer alkalies. Muscovita contains principally potash with some soda and alunina. It is found in sedi- mcutary rocks. It is very valuable and has large usage.
 Ground mica is used a great deal in the manufacture of wall paper. The mica of commerce comes mostly from the United States, Canada, India and Russia. Large sheets of sufficient purity to be profita5ly worked are of limited occurrence, and thus very val uable. It crystalizes best in granite. A single crystal in North Carolina has been known to weigh nearly 2,000 hounds.
 That state takes the lead in the pro duction of mica, though the industry was only started in 1868 Mica has been worked for the last forty years in Al stead in New Hampshire, where sheets have been found measuring four feet across. Mining for mica has also beer
