BIG TOMBSTONE MINES
Extensive Operations Not Confined to
 the Consolidated Co.

Outside the workings of the Con- solidated company. considerable ac- tivity is being manifested and some three or four more companies are get ting ready to resume active operations in the Tombstone district, says the Prospector. At the Nesselrode camp. on the Benton-Wilson property, the men at present are drifting on the 300- foot level, crOss-cutting the ore body. Sinking in the shaft has been stopped for the present owing to the small engine being unable to handle any thing at greater depth. A meeting of the stockholders of the company is to be held here on Tuesday next, when the matter of taking up the bond which falls due next month will be consider ed and there seems to be but little doubt that Messrs. Wilson and Benton will receive $50,0 900 the amount for which the property is bonded. The company now has several carloads of ore on the dump which will soon be shipped to the smelters al Fl Paso.
 The Benton company, which is at pI Iesent working on the Little Devil property is taking out considerable ore and will begin shipping soon. not only what is being taken out at pres ent, but considerable which has been on the dump for years and which was recently sampled by Douglas Gray and found that it will pay to ship to the smelters at Fl Paso.

CARRYING BOTH WAYS.

~1 got another shot at him yesterday, but he got away again. said MT. E. M Gale, the candy man, to an old friend he ran against on Sixteenth street.
 "Shot at who?" was the siu uprised re- joinder.
 No who; it was an it. but I cali it him-the lone mallard didn't I ever tell you about him?'
 Never; tell me now.''
 Why, the lo"a '--@ lard, the big duck that leads lined life, comes to the lake on my Weld county ranch away again.
 First I ever heard of him.
 Well be still and you'll hear some more. In the first place. he's the big gest duck I ever saw-biggest on earth and I'll bet money on it. I saw hin three years ago-no. two years and 2 half ago-it'll be three years nexi spring. l was out after ducks and l'c rather hunt ducks than eat.''
 ''Or to drink?" inquired his friend.
 Don't get funny. I said eat, but was going to tell you I am always hanging about that lake during the season, and one day I sighted big Guck coming up from the south. H. looked as big as a turkey, and really I'll bet he weighs twelve pounds. ant there's many turkey that don't weigf that. He splashed down in among z lot of smaller ducks that had hoate( up to within easy shooting distance from the blind I was couching behind and I made up my mind to get him.

THE YUCCA CONCENTRATION
Hill Is Now Running Regularly-Auto
 Freight Line Projected.

Superintendent C. D. Pickering. of the Yucca Cyanide NJ. & M. company, was in Kingman Thursday last to meet several members Of the directorate of the company, says the Miner. He re- ports that the mine is proving up splendidly and that the showing of ore in the lower workings is very satisfac- tory The mill has been running since Monday on a good grade of concentrat- ing ore and making a very rich pro- duct. The mine ard camp is now lighted by electricity, the new dynamo having been installed and working smoothly. Regular shipments of com centrates will be made to Yucca. thence to Colorado smelters. It is pro- posed to put in an auto to haul it between the railroad and mine. but a new grade will first have to be e.- abolished over the mountain. A ma- chine for the purpose of hauling over the steep mountain grades has been designed. but the heavy parts of the road will have to be cut down before the machine can be successfully ope- rated over them.

Pdine'S Celery Compound
 Cured Her.

Hagan and others, a small force of men has been put to work and ship ments of ore will commence on Mon day. During the past few days the men have been at work repairing the wagon road. Messrs. Phelps and Blu chanan have secured the contract for hauling the ore from the mine to the railroad. and will put on four-horsc team to do the work. The mine is located on the hill between the Lucky CusS and the old Stonewal.
 Colonel Herring. owner of the Bo nanza property, just beyong the Last Chance, has had force of men at work there during the past few days repairing the houses. hoist, etc. and getting things in readiness to begin operations. A few weeks since Joseph Young, was doing some work on the claim, and uncovered a body of rich ore. The Bonanza in the past. has produced some of the richest ore fDund in the Tombstone district, and with its re-opening some interesting devel- opments may be looked for.

THE oBEDIENT TYPEWRITER.

The chief was cross that morning and was venting his wrath on the pretty young lady who manipulated the type writer.
 Everything is in confusion on my desk" he said testify. Ut always is"
 You insist that you don't want any thing disturbed there.'' she responded meekly.
 "Well, I don't want my papers dis turbed. but I don't want this sheet of postage stamps left there."
 Where shall l put them?" she in quired demurely as he took them up.
 Don't ask so many questions" he snapped. Put them anywhere out of my sight,
 Very well, sir." she cooed as softly as dove.
 And licking them with her pretty red tongue she stuck the sheet on his bald head and walked out to seek a new situation.

THE SAN JAUN MINE
Good News Comes Again From the
 Lone Star District.

Jno. F. Weber, general manager of the Federal Mining company. in the Lone Star district, ten miles from Solomonville, was a visitor in Solomon vile last Monday. where he came on business connected with the mine.
 MT. Weber has been on the ground only since last January. Since assuming mana cement very satisfac tory progress has been made, says the Bulletin. and from a mere prospect the mine has now gone beyond the eX perimental stage and the success Of the San Juan is assured. Bad manage ment heretofore has retarded the de- velopment of the property, but under the supervision of MT. Weber all ob- stacles have been removed and Graham

shells had heavy charges of No. shot in them. Well, I had no sooner stood up than the lone mallard saw me and rose in a hurry. When he was about twenty feet up I let drive with my right barrel. He didn't so much as flicker. Then 1 let go with my left. and I felt sure I hit him, but he just kept right on. I though he would cir cle and come back, but he didn't. His ticket seemed to be q through one, and his s.op-over privilege was limited.
 'l u1dn't think anything more about him till the following fall when he came along again one day and dropped
 into the water right where he had lit the spring before. This time I got two more shots at him. but that was all I could do with him. He didn't wait for any more trouble, but pursued his way north.
 Ever since that time, twice a year, that old duck comes quacking along and I've shot him till I know he must be half full of lead. but I can't bring him down. Generally, you find a big duck leading a whole flock, keeping his place at the apex of the triangle they form in their flight. but this old fellow travels alone. Doubtless he has his NSelHSSti Us Hefe ana there along the line of his route, but he shuns all so- ciety while on his aerial voyages. 4
 "I have been laying for him a week past, and yesterday. when he came piling down from the north. I was ready with a new gun and shells load ed with No. 5 chilled shot.
 "'Ill put an end to his fooling this time I said to myself as he swooped down within easy reach of me, and then I let loose at him in earnest. I shot at him three times. the last shot certainly taking effect on his left wing for he went off lame on that side, but the tough old rascal managed to flap away and I suppose by this time he is pretty near to Texas.
 "I don't know what to make of that bird. l can say without boasting that l am good shot, but I can't do any thing with this phenomenal fowl. think there must be a duck doctor | somewhere down south who patches up my old friend and fits him for running the gauntlet with me.
 But I'm going to get that duck some day. I've got that big green feather stuck up over my desk, and
 I'm bound to have the rest of them if l have to use a Gatling gun"-Denver Post.

THE CHICAGO MINE.
A New Ore Body Eighteen Inches Wide
 Recently Encountered.

At the Chicago mine on Groom Creek. while cutting the station for the 3OO-fcot level an 1S-inch streak of gold ore was disclosed. being a vein not encountered in the upper workings of the mine. and the owners are natur- ally much pleased at this new develop ment.
 The shaft is sunk vertically. making it necessary to cross cut from the shaft to lind the ledge, which diverges slight ly from the vertical. At the 20O-foot level short cross-cut was run. some months ago, which encountered a wide streak of very rich gold ore. The work of sinking the shaft has been diligent- ly carried on ever since, and addi- tional depth of 100 feet has been at tained and cross-cut made to the main vein and it is found that the rich streak exposed in the upper levels con- tinues to the 300 level. Thus it will be seen that at the 3CO-foot level the mine shows rot Cnly the main vein as good as ever, but an additional streak of IS inches of good ore.
 Sinking to the 800 foot level will be continued, and at this depth, in order to drift for the gold bearing dike of

BUNKER HILL MINE.

The Bunker Hill company which is engeged in running a tunnel in on the ledge of their mine has just encoun- tered a good body of ore, at a distance of 2C0 feet in from the mouth of the tunnel. The ore is the full width of the tunnel, five feet, and it was struck at a depth of over 100 feet from the surface. The tunnel is being run to connect with the shaft, at q depth of 500 feet from the surface. The shaft is in good ore all the way down and the intention is to strike this ore body at the above depth. While it was ex- pected that in running this tunnel other ore bodies would be encountered.
 1t was very gratifying to the manage ment to encounter this one as it gives promise of good values as well as of being large in size. No assays have yet been made of the ore.-Prescott Journal Miner.

county can now confidently .s1'lnt upon another yellow metal pc ''lcer.
 For the past several months a force of sixteen miners has been busily en- gagged upon the new shaft which has new reached q depth of 130 feet. From this level two drifts have been run. No. 1 will tap the incline shaft of the old workings. This drift runs upon the ere ledge all the way in. No. has been run to cut the main ledge, and from this drift ore is being ship ped to Fl Paso. The first drift runs upon a body of ore assaying sixteen per cent. copper.
 The first shipment of ore, consisting of two cars, netted the company $74G and $S2S respectively. Ore will now be delivered to Fl Paso as rapidly as it can be taken from the ground.
 It is the intention of the company 10 erect a shelter upon the ground. Good surface water can readily be found in sufficient quantity to meet the demand Of the smelter. Enough ten to fifteen per cent ore is in sight to keep the plant running for a year. There will be no doubt after that date as to the permanency of the San Juan.
 MT. Weber. in speaking to a Bulle- tin reporter. was very enthusiastic regarding the mine and said: "Un- Guestiorably the San Juan mine Is be- yond the experimental stage and it is now mine of wonderful richness.
 The new working shaft is being sunk with some idea iii view of per nanercy. It is a double compartment and will ba fitted with cages as soon as they can be obtained. At present we are using buckets in the shaft. As soon as the smelter is constructed we VIII commence to reduce ores upon the ground and prosperous and busy mi ming camp can be looked for

COOD SHORT STORIES

As proprietor of the HellSo opera house we announce that unless the shooting becomes too promiscuous and too long sustained the drama of Uncle Toms Cabin" will be played here for two weeks in November.
 We have lost the gospel hymnbook we usually carry in our coat-tail pock- ct to try our voice on when we ride out Into the country, and the finder will be credited with years subscrip- ton to 'The Kicker on restoring it to us.
 Two whole days of last week passed without any shooting or whooping on our streets, and we learn from several persons in the business that real estate shows a downward tendency. Is it possible that We are becoming too civil liZed?
 We have gathered from our editorial garden in the rear of "The Kicker off, ce thus far this year half bushel of stringbeans, peck of radishes, a bu sher of cucumbers and seven squashes, and we begin to have a regular Uncle Reub hump on our back.
 A man unknown to us, but who had some cause for complaint, caught us on the street the other day and put a gun to cur ear and made us eat dirt in the most liberal manner. Things will happen once in while, and we are philosopher enough to respect it and take our medicine as we have obliged others to.
 According to the meteorological rec ords of Arizona. the hottest day in this territory the past summer bumped the thermometer up to 12S degrees in the shade. There was no need to tell any one to go to. We were already there All that was needed to complete the entertainment was the smell of brim- stone.
 Colonel Taylors cowboys sent us word the other day, as mayor of this town, that if we crossed Dog creek again within year they would hang us to the first handy limb. We hereby acknowledge the receipt of the mes sage. and We likewise add that we shall cross Dog creek day after tomorrow with our soul keyed up for two-handed shooting.
 If anyone in this country has invent ed bullet proof kerosene lamp we should like to be put in communication with him at once. We want dozen for the Hellso opera house. They must be able to stand an hours fusilade Most of the newspaper offices in this territory throw away the glue and mo- lasses cut from the cores of their oldl printing press rollers, but we have regularly distributed it among the In dians for the last six months, and they mix it with roast dog and grow fat on it. We also incline to the belief that it | makes them more peaceful. We do no know who it was that hurled stone through out bedroom window at midnight the other night. but we were out of bed in time to get pop at him. and hear him yell out as he limped away. Don't play with us after midnight. or if you don't break Uncle Sam's windows. Out du- ties as postmaster oblige us to look out for his glassware as well as his mail bags.
