TUNNELING
 A MOUNTAIN. A Mammoth Enterprise Under taken by G. W. Hull of Jerome to Develop
 the Verde Dis
 trict.
Mining Tunnel Two-Thirds of a Mile Long and at Some Points a Quarter of Mile Be-
 meath the Surface.

G. w. Hull, the we'll known min ing man and capitalist, of Jerome, is now engaged in d mammoth min ing enterprise, one of the largest ever undertaken in the county and is next in rank to the Poland tunnel. MT. Hull is one of the pioneers of Jerome in the matter of mining development, and has always had an abiding faith in the merits of the properties there outside of the ground owned by the United Verde company. Mir. Hull has a force of men at work now on an en- terprise which will probably demon strate the correctness or error of his judgment in this respect, but he has only one opinion in regard to it and that is that it will prove a success and confirm his judgment in regard to the district. The enterprise men, tioned is the running of a tunnel clear through the mountain adjoin ing the United Verde properties. He has selected as his site for this tunnel the tunnel site selected by the late J. R. Dillon, of the Jerome Copper com pany, and which he ran into the hill a distance of over 1000 feet. Mir. Hull commenced where Dillon left off and has added about twenty feet to the length of the tunnel since commencing operations, the total length of it now being 1,060 feet.
 The tunnel, when completed, will be little over 3,600 feet in length, and at some points will be 1,200 or 1900 feet beneath the surface. It cross cuts the formation, and judg- ing from croppings on the surface Mir. Hull expects to cut at least four veins or ore bodies. He estimates that the first one will be encountered within the next 100 feet from the present face of the tunnel, which is now ill comparatively soft ground, with water enough to furnish steam for the engine which runs his air compressors.
 Mir. Hull estimates the total cost of the tunnel at between S30000 and
 40,0O0. The company, which is con trolled by hlm and which is doing the work, is the Cleopatra. When ever ledge is struck, in addition to pushing work on the tunnel, it is his purpose to drift both ways on the ledge, and by this means it may be possible to obtain sufficient amount of ore to pay all expenses before the tunnel is completed.
 The tunnel will connect with the workings of the 1888 mine, property formerly owned by the United Verde Extension company. Work will be pushed on it just as rapidly as possi- ble until completion and, as stated, the completion of it will largely solve the problem of that district as to whether nature corraled all the ore within the limits of the claims owned by the United Verde company.
 It is a daring piece of work, and MT. Hull is certainly deserving of credit for the nerve displayed in un- dertaking it, and having once under taken it there Is no doubt of his fin. ishing it, as he has abundant means to do so. and he is not a man who having put his hands to the blow looks back. He estimates that it will require about twenty months to com plete the work.

ABOUT OUR WEATHER.
Information Specially Intended for Readers Outside of Arizona About Prescott's IncomparabIe
 Climate.

The Journal Miner is in receipt of two letters asking about the rempera- ture of Prescott. One is from a sub scriber in California who writes: My ideas of Arizona are that tits country of fintense heat" The other is from the wife of a subscriber in Ohio, and she says: Lately have seen several notices of the weather and temper ature ill other places, but could not find anything concerning Prescott especially as regards weather, etc."
 To Arizonans the perfection of Prescott's climate is so we'll known that perhaps mention of it for the benefit of outside readers is probably neglected more than it should be. On receipt of the letters, however, which by the way were only one day apart in their arrival, the Journal Miner interviewed Weather Observer Dr. w. E. Day, and obtained the fol- lowing information:
 "The highest temperature recorded during the present season was 93 de- grees above zero, the mercury reach ing that point three days. Two other days, making five in all, it rose to above 90, the minimum temperature generally being but little above 80 degrees. The average temperature for the year is about 65 degrees, be- ing about the only place in the United States where such an aver age annual temperature is shown"
 By way of explanation it might be added here that owing to the altitude of $500 feet or a little over a mile above sea level, the humidity of the atmosphere is very slight and no more inconvenience is felt from a temperature of 90 degrees than would be in the east at from 65 to 70 de- grees, the same also being true with low temperatures in the winter. With the thermometer at zero in Prescott, which it occasionally reaches, the cold is not felt more than it is at 20 degrees above in more humid section.
 Such thing as sun stroke was never known in this section although during the past twenty years the has been as high as 100 on three or four occasions. Even in the dry heat of the desert at lower al- titudes. where the mercury revels at l20 and even higher in the shade, sun strokes are unknown.
 With the highest temperature ever experienced here one can always be in the shade on account 'f the rare and dry atmosphere.

BIG TIMBER DEAL.
The Mitchell Tract in New Mexico Sold
 to Eastern Parties.

The immense tract of timber known as the Mitchell tract in New Mexico has just been sold to eastern capital ists incorporated as the American Lumber company. The amount in volved in the deal amounts to S1 ,000,- 900 and employment will be given to 1000 men. Ira B. Bennett of De- troit reported on the property as fol- lows:
 ''I found one of the largest and fin est blocks of white pine that exists in one solid body. The timber is the nearest to Michigan white pine of any have ever seen, being free from shake and very little rot; runs very large, averaging from five to six logs to the thousand, and will cut from two to four clear logs before getting into the limbs.
 "The tract is heavily timbered, and 1 fully believe there is all the timber on the land that is claimed by the estimators. It is the finest logging country that I have ever seen, and an ideal place to carry on a successful lumber business.
 The company has made a fine purchase, and if white pine holds its own will surely realize an enormous profit from the investment. There is no reason why your company should not make, with proper management, fully S7 to Sl0 per thousand on every foot of timber they manufacture. I visited two neighboring lumber com panies at Flagstaff and Williams, Ariz., and found them doing a very successful lumber business, having a ready market for all they could manu- facture, and believe the American Lumber company will return a very large dividend to any one who may purchase their stock.
 ''I will take large block of it, and recommend my friends 10 purchase all they can of the same"

A Human Incubator.

John Filson, farmer near Emi. hence, Ky, living seven miles south of here, is the proud father of forty four little chickens, but much of his credit for his achievement as a hu- man incubator is due to the practical bent of his wife's mind. For months past Filson has been ill with a low fever. He was the sole support of his family, and the affairs of the house. hold became sadly strained.
 As the weeks passed and there was no sign of improvement the woman became desperate but inspiration at last came to her and she decided to utilize the husbands bodily heat in order to help out the family's strained resources. Borrowing four dozen eggs from a neighbor, she placed them in the bed with her husband, but so protected that they would not be crushed by his move ments. The experiment proved sue cessful, and at the end of four weeks, the setting was finished. Only four of the eggs failed of results.
 Father and chickens are growing over their good luck and Filson's fever has begun to subside.

Governor BrOdieHs Trip.

Governor Brodie returned yester- day from trip of inspection to the institutions in the southern part of the territory. He was accompanied by Mrs. Brodie and his son. He left here last Sunday night and went to Tucson, where he met the regents of the university, and made an inspection of that institution. He next visited the penitentiary. He was given avery cordial reception by the people of Yuma. The governor was well pleased with his tour and the condition iL which he fouud pub lie affairs in southern Arizona.
 It was expected that he would an- nounce some appointments yester- day, but none was made. The train on which the governor returned to the city was several hours late, and he did not arrive until nearly noon, so that there was not much of the working day left, and that was spent in the preparation of his annual re- port. It is believed that some official changes will be made known today, though the governor has not yet given an intimation that any will be made so soon.-Republican.

Saved From the Bite of a Rattler.

A deed of heroism was enacted at Thomas one day this week which de- serves special mention. A life was saved by the prompt action of a stranger in our midst. A Mir. Jen- nings, one of our late eastern arrivals, while resting in camp after a days work on a new find, was startled by a piercing scream coming from a little 8-year-old daughter of MT. Saunders, few yards from the cabin where MT. Jennings was seated. In an instant MT. Jennings and the father were at the scene of danger. A huge rattler, measuring over five feet in length, had struck the child in the leg, below the knee. While the father promptly dispatched the snake, MT. Jennings whipped out his pocket knife, grabbed the child in his arms and made an incision where the deadly sting had been made, followed the action by applying his mouth to the wound and sucking out the poison. In twenty minutes the child was rest ing quietly under the influence of the treatment. Today she is apparently as free from the poison as though she had never been bitten. MT. Jennings holds ten full developed rattles as a memento of the incident. - Pima Paragon.

Poisoning the System.

It is through the bowels that the body is cleaned of impurities. Con- stipation keeps the poison in the sys- tem, causing headache, dullness and melancholia at first, then unsightly eruptions and finally serious illness unless remedy is applied.

NEWSPAPER ROASTING.
It Often HdIps the Subject of It PsthaT Than Producing the Effect Desired.

It may be soothing to some people
 who are lampooned in newspapers to
 know that newspaper roasting has very little lasting effect, says an ex- change. People may laugh for a day or two but the incident is speedily forgotten by every one, unless per haps it be by the person he'd up to ridicule. Three or four years ago Senator Hanna was the worst carica- tured man in the United States. while at the present he is the most formidable candidate for the presi- dency against President Roosevelt. Over abuse by the newspapers usually swings public opinion in favor of the object. Martin Van Buren. in his day, was counted one of the most cunning of politicians. The story is told of him that one day Dame Van Buren, her eyes blazing with anger. entered his study carrying a news paper in a pair of tongs. Laying it hefore him she pointed ,o double leaded editorial, and said: MT. Van Buren, read that" The Albany Machiavelli perused it with apparent interest. It was venomous philip pie, attacking Van Buren's public and private life, his honesty, his honor. When he had finished. he looked up and said: "Well?" His stately spouse regarded him with shocked surprise. MT. Van Buren," said she, If you do not call out the author of that article at once, and shoot him before tomorrow, shall leave your house, never to return" MT.
