MINES AND MINING.

Ground is being broken this week
for the new 500-ton cOncentrator for
the Shannon Copper company. The
plant will be located on the hillside
directly above the smelter, 10 which
the ore will be elevated after passing
through the crushers. The building
enclosing the plant will be of steel and
iron, the contract for which has been
let TO tho Llewellyn Foundry OF Los
Angeles. the only firm in that line
of business which could deliver
such a large order Of structural steel
and iron under five months. The
contract calls for delivery within a
few weeks, which will be as soon as
the foundations can be laid. The
work OF construction viii be rushed
with all possible speed, and il is ex-
pected that the plant will be in opera
ton soon after the beginning OF the
new year. Briquetting machinery
will be installed at the snelter and
Will be ready for business when the
plant again starts up. large force
o, miners are employed at the mines
on development work. The company
is now employing as many men as 1t
did before temporarily closing down
its smelter.

THE democratic party OF New York
has. through its platform, declared for
public ownership Of the anthracite coal
mines and the operation OF them un-
der the right of eminent domain.
The platform also bitterly arraigned
the trusts, especially the coal and
beef combines The platform de-
mands stringent legislation against
monopOlies, placing the necessities on
the free list. The administration
policy in the Philippines is declared
vacillating and uncertain. The plat
form is all right as far as it goes, but
it don't go quite far enough. II
should declare for the initiative and
referendum, for the government own
ship of telegraph and express COM
panies, and for trunk lines OF railroads
through each state and territory.
There is no good reason why the peO-
pie should not protect themselves
against the corporations, and also the
trusts, by engaging in the Same lines
OF business, aud then take the tariff
off from all articles controlled by the
trusts, and they will have a chance &c
exist again.

The Worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises OF
Eodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
they eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming their
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you feel good all
over. Mrs. Cranfill, OF Troy. l. T.,
writes: For number of years l was
troubled with indigestion and dyspep-
STA which grew into the worst form
Finally l was induced to use kOdol and
after using four bottles l am entirely
cured. l heartily recommend Kodol
to ali suffering from indigestion and.
dyspepsia. Take dose after meals
1t digests what you eat. K. J. Young.

fight that it was finally decided to leave

which there was no legal provision.
The election was held and lost, and
now those who favor high license in

position plain enough, but lack the
manhood to vote on the matter. They
want to please both sides, but are

belt about five miles from Morenci,
near Eagle river Mr.. Molder reports
that he has cross-cut the ledge forty
feet, and thinks that it will make a
general average OF s. per ton. The
ore is free milling. The gold occurs
in a vein OF decompOsed porphyry,
which'is easily,and cheaply worked, and
can be mined and milled for less money
than almost any other gold property
in the territory. 1t is the intention Of
the company to sink winze to depth
OF one hundred feet at once, when
another cress-cat will be run TO deter

values hold, some arrangements Will
then be made for a plant. The Home
people are feeling pretty good. and
are confident that they have one OF
the big gold mines of the territory.

from an extended prospecting trip in

and Jim Randall, also an old timer OF
this section, have group OF most
promising gold claims. Joe visited
most OF the best camps o! southern
Arizona on his return trip, aud he
says that when it comes TO mining
old Graham county is far in the lead
OF the best of them. having ores in
larger quantities and nearer to the
surface, which greatly reduces the
cost OF mining. Joe didn't know what
a good camp Clifton was until after he
had knoehed<asound the territory a
few months.

THE SETTLER.

He strikes into the wilderness,
Remote from man, alone with God,
TO hew or delve. and force success
From forest land or prairie clod.
Alone he went and wrought, but see;
The hermit multiplied by three!
The thicket from his sturdy strokes
Recedes or shrinks to slender clumps;
The clearing where his hearth-fire smokes
Is green with grain midst blackened
stumps.
Ere thrice the summer shall be gone,
A hamlet round him will be drawn.
Or virgin plains. that ne'er before
Were wrinkled by the plough-share's
trail
Grow brown beyond his cabin door
With burrows sown with wheat for sale.
Alas! no buyer comes: but wait;
The road of trade shall pass his gate!
BY force centripetal. ere long,
Now one, now many, seek his side;
And Commerce brings unto the throng
What was to him at first denied.
Thus fast and faster hamlets grow.
Then centrifugally oerfiow.
BY such who WELD the ak and spade,
More than by rifle and the sword.
Are earth's most gainful conquests made.
Are natures wealthy wids explored.
Go, write above his lowly grave:
Here lies the bravest of the brave!"
