Perhaps this is your busy day?" said
the girl, innocently.
"All my days are busy days"
Then, of course, it. is just as con-
other day." said the girl.
Jasper looked at her with a comical
expression. He was a little near
sighted, and, as was his custom with
callers, he had scarcely given her an
appreciative look when she entered.
Now, at shorter range, he saw that she
was much prettler than he at first sup
posed. She certainly was a very charm

per's eyes.
II beg your pardon" he said, but
may l remind you that you haven't
stated your business with me?''
The girl looked into his eyes with a
clear, frank gaze. Then she slightly
smiled and slowly removed an elastic
band that held the small package she
bore in one neatly gloved hand. Jasper
took quick advantage of her averted
gaze to pull down his cuffs and make
a quick pass at his twisted tie.
Il have written something" she said,
"and | want to submit it to you"
Jasper felt himself weakening. Ordi-
narily he would have taken the manu-
script, and, hastily scribbling the writ
er's address on it, would have tossed 1t
aside with the remark that he would
communicate with the writer by mail
concerning it-and then he would have
resumed his work. Now he hesitated.
His pencil dropped from his fingers. He

"Do look like person who would

She seemed to challenge his scrutiny
Jasper couldn't resist the temptation.
He leaned little farther back.

"Then it is verses?" he said.

girl.

The Mourning Evil.

The use Of crepe for mourning wells
is becoming less every day, and in
summer the crinkly fabric is scarcely
seen. Many physicians protest against
women wearing crepe wells at any sea
son of the year. and the nuns yelling,
grenadine, and similar materials have
to large extent, replaced the crepe
drapery that formerly was a distinctive
badge of bereavement.
For widows or other women wearing
crepe mourning it is the fancy at pres

KIRKLAND AND SKULL VALLEY.

Work in and around Copper Basin seems to be going on lively. Some prospectors spoke very favorably of the ores found on some of the prospects of w. w. Munds. The Copper Basin country will some day equal Bisbee. Jerome and other great Arizona camps and don't you forget it.
 C. w. Platt is said to have great many tons of very rich appearing ore on the dumps. This ore, I believe, will be worked by a mill erected for the mines especially, little below the Sharpneck custom mill on Kirkland creek.
 The Rig Five placer mining company has sent for two gasoline engines, one to pump and one to run the placer ma chimes, or whatever they are. They could no longer work on the weel as the water comes in too fast, and will HOW start working dirt with the water developed, and if they can, then, keen it down sufficiently, they will drift for more--Cor.

A SONORA PROPERTY
Owned by Two Greeks and Bargained
 for by Bisbee Men.

B. F. Graham and Major Hargrove have returned from Sonora where they spent the past four days inspecting mining property.
 They went into the Magdalena min ing district about fifty-five miles south of Nogales for the purpose of looking over one hundred and fifty acres of mineral land owned by two Greeks.
 The Greeks came to Bisbee several days ago with samples of rich ore and interested Graham and FIargrovc in the property.
 MT. Graham is not yet ready to talk to any great extent about what was seen, though he says the property is rich in mineral. and that Q deal may be closed In few days.
 While away Messrs. Graham and Hargrove found samples of azurite and ma;achite ere that have interested them even more than the holdings of the Greeks.
 The two samples were picked up near the road and no effort was made to trace the ore to where it came from. Both are beautiful samples and win be placed in MT. Grahan's ca binpt of minerals.

 While away Graham and Hargrove had a little experience of which they will say little. They were held up by the Mevicans and robbed.-Review.

Mines and Minerals of Arizona

The discovery of rich ore in the Little Jessie mine at Pearce, adjoining the Gold Cliff mine, and other adjacent properties on Tomlinscn hill may en- courage wo, k of the various mines therea bouts. This district is destined to show up several producers when more development work and deeper mining has been accomplished.-Tomb stone Prospector.
 Mining has proved itself the most legitimate of industries. All the money that the world possesses has come from mines. Hence, as a western writer points out, no work is more honora ble or legitimate than mining. The dollar that the miner wrenches from the stub born rock is q new crea tion. It be- longed to no other man; it does not lessen the value of property that any man possesses. It commands recogni- tion everywhere; its value is universal ly apparent. It sleeps in it's atriX of darkness and silence until the miner blasts down the doors that leads to it's chamber. and when awakened it begins to assume Its share of the white as well as the black mans burden, and | it carries it on forever.-Ex.
 The discovery of a large deposit of high grade gypsum within twenty miles of Tucson and within seven miles Of the Southern Pacific railroad should be | of more than passing interest. The analysis of this gypsum, it is said, shows that from it can be made the very best quality of Portland cement. The cost of this cement in Tucson to- day runs from seven to eight dollars per barrel. The quantity consumed here is very considerable. Mark Lul- ley. the disCoverer and owner of this gypsum deposit states the quantity or deposit is very large.-Star.

THE LAND COURT
A Session Will Be Held in Phoenix
 Next Month.

A session of the court of private land claims will be held in this city begin ming May b. It will continue about two weeks. All the Arizona claims have been heard and all but one of them have been passed upon by the United States supreme court. The Rafael del Villa grant the Camou brothers, claim ants, has been confirmed sustaining the judgment of the land court. In the cases of the Agua Prieta, the San Pe dro and the Aribac grants, which had all been rejected by the court of pri- vate land claims, the judgments of the lower court were sustained. The case which has not yet been decided in the supreme court is the claim of the Cameron brothers to the San Rafael de la Zanza grant In this matter the claim was rejected and both sides ap- pealed, the claimants because the judgment was against them and the government in order that it might in- troduce other testimony than that pre- scented at the trial in the court of pri- vate land claims.
 Mir R. l.. Long, the clerk of the court, was asked yesterday regarding the re- port that the court would be allowed to expire by law on June 30 of this year. He said that he had heard noth- ing of it and could not see how the pending business would be disposed of in the event of the dissolution of the court. At the time of it's organization there were in this territory about fifteen cases and in New Mexico about 150 cases. There are many in the lat ter territory still undisposed of and i in the natural order Of things could not be disposed of for several years Although the business of the court in Arizona is almost ended, it would still | take some time to wind up the affairs of the court here. Even if all the claims had been finally confirmed or finally rejected beyond the possibility of sec ond appeal to the United States su- preme court, there would still be more to be done than could be done in many months. In the cases of the confirmed grants reports would have to be made to the commissioner of the general lant office who would order surveys of the grants. That would take months ant after it was done the papers would
 have to be filed with the court of pri
 vate land claims.
 It is true that the duties now per formed by the court could be trans
 ferred to the United States distric
 courts or to any other court, but tha
 would require legislation. It is pe
 lieved that the court will be perpetu

GOOD REPAIRS BY A BLIND MAN
Puts Anything in Order From Farming
 Implements to Watches

Clay City, Ind.-There is in the Clay county infirmary as a pauper, a blind man. who is as much of a prodigy as Blind Tom" the musician, or any of the mathematical lightning calcula tor freaks who have from time to time been exhibited over the country.
 Gus" as he is called by his fellow inmates and the keepers Of the insti- tuition, is a rare mechanical genius and manifests as much ambition to excel in his work as though all the avenues of competitive industry were open to his hand and application. He main- tains a general repair shop on the premises, which he built himself, which is provided with variety of tools and appliances. all of which are kept in ex- cellent order and every piece in it's proper place.
 When any of the farming implements on the place become impaired, garden tools or domestic utilities, including watches and clocks, broken or out of order, they are taken to the shop, where Gus feels them over. and quickly discovers what is wrong and what is wanting, then proceeds to make the repairs. Should it be an un- usual break, for which he does not have the necessary tools, the work is laid aside until he produces with his own hands and skill the appliances re- quired.
 Two years ago the superintendent of the institution desired to put a new picket fence around the large front yard. and Gus" was given charge of the job, with authority to summon

month ago, it has been run at 100 tons. A man is needed to run the crusher and put ore into it. Four boys, ranging from 16 to IS years are em ployed to open and close valves and pull levers. The complement of the shift is made up of two strong men. There is no need of a chemist or an expert assayer, for the ore is not sorted. but is treated as it comes.
 For a long time there was a theoret- ical objection to the teaching process. Chemists said it would attack the iron and kill itself before it would attack the copper. That depends upon the temperature of the acid and experi- ments have taught MT. Fleming the proper temperature. so that there is d very slight invasion of the iron.
 The plant is as complicated as d Mergenthaler linotype. but it is so ad justed that there is little danger of it getting out of order and requires no special skill to operate it and very lit tie hard labor. The solution is handled by compressed air and steam jets.
 MT. Fleming believes that this pro- ! cess might be employed to great ad- vantage in custom plants in all parts of the country convenient to large ore deposits.
 As has been stated this process is the result of many experiments and the machinery has been manufactured in all parts Of the United States from
 San Francisco to Boston. All parts | of the plant with which the solution comes in contact is lead lined, tanks pipes, etc. The valves are hard rub l Der. made by the American Rubber company. Metal valves were found un-
 able to withstand the action of the
 acid for any great length of time. The : rubber valves as they are now made
 stand the ordinary wear as well ol
 rather better than those made of brass and are impervious to the action nt i the solution.

WATER FOR BISBEE
Removal of Copper Queen Shelters
 Will Not Hurt the City.

The building of a million gallon water plant by the Copper Queen com- pany as printed in this paper yester- day caused an impression to get around the city that the company had practi- cally abandoned it's plan to move the smelters to Douglas, says the Bisbee Review.
 It was figured that the company would not go to the enormous expense of building a water system when they were to in short time move from the city the shelter they intended to sup ply with water.
 Yesterday S. W. French, assistant superintendent of the company, was asked if the intention of moving the smelters away had been given up. It was suggested to him that the building of the water system made it look as if the company had changed it's mind.
 The company still intends to move its snelters to Douglas and building a water system will have no effect on their future plans.
 We have to have water for our smelter for the next six months. and the only way to get it is to develop it ourselves
 ''Bisbee will always want a water system that is reliable, and when We cannot use the water the city will have just that much more.'
 This settles the matter as far as the smelters are concerned. It has already been stated that their being moved will not injure Bisbee as the company will put many more men to work when the shelter is gone than they have taken away.
