Winchester rifles and stood guard over
the storehouse. She dispatched her boy
with all possible speed on the bare back
of broncho 10 the Ailing ranch. seven
miles away, for help from the cow-punch-
ers. Rife in hand, she walked about the
exterior of the storehouse. watching for
the first evidence OF the imprisoned
Apaches attempting to dig out through
the adobe walls. Several times she fired
her rife in order to let the men know
there was some one about with firearms.
Two hours later several cowboys came TO
the Nugent house. the Indians were easily
taken and were sent back 20 their reser-
walton, where they have since been in
prison. The Indians were not in the
Apache Kid baSd. but years ago they were
the murderers OF whites, and are intract-
able savages. Not the least doubt re-
mains that they meant to kill Mrs. Nu-
gent and her children and rob the store
OF its money.

There are several thousands of women
on the plains and among the mountains
and canons in the far west who deserve
to be we'll up toward the top OF the cata-
logue of those wOh are prominent Tor
achievements in those fields OF human
energy which for years have been occu-
pied exclusively by the sturdiest of men.
While the women in the east are max
ing success in professions, business, and
trades alongside Of their husbands and
brothers, there are women in every part
of the raw, new west. as it is known to-
day, who are not only adapting them
selves to a crude and strange environment
but are winning fortune and fame by
reaching results in pursuits that were
thought impossible of entrance by wo-
men a dozen years ago.

MINING Prosuector in Arizona.

Mining Prosoector in Arizona.
There is the case OF Mrs. Marion
Phelps, who has become an excellent
gold mining prospector in the Globe min
ing region in southwestern Arizona. Elk
Governor Wolfiey OF Arizona, is authority
for saying that she is as good judge
as there is in the southwest concerning
the value of lodges of low grade gold
ore Her husband was d graduate from
a New England scientific school, and,
marrying when but twenty-five years of
age. he came west with his young wife.
He. soon sank all his little fortune in a
placer mine that had been abundantly
sailed for his benefit. His wife tramped
over the mountains, Travelled across burn
ing desserts, lived in lonely canons
camped on bleak and barren mountain
sides, slept in the chapparal, and dwelt
with Indians through seven years. while
young Phelps searched for gold mines
Mrs. Phelps shared every hardship with
her husband, and in time she developed
into as correct and quick an observer
of pay rock and became as well versed
as any one in that region in the forma-
Tranquility, and dip OF lodges.
When her husband fell from cliff one
day in Williams canon and was killed
the young woman was left with two
small children and a few dollars. Dur
ing the years that she and her husband
had been barely subsisting. while they
prospected for mines, neither of them
had ever written a relative in the east as
to their condition and their struggle with
poverty. Not a word did she write now
about her distress. Pride Is a powerful
characteristic in the new woman of the
west
With the help of several miner friends.
Mrs. Phelps built a rude cabin sufficient
for comfort in the semi-tropic latitUdes
of Arizona. and with her own hands cul-
tivated an area of valley land about her
cabin. She grew vegetables and made n
market for all she could raise at the
mining town of Globe, few miles away.
She never lost her interest in seeking
mines. and when her children were year
or two older and could be left with others
she went forth TO prospect through Will
liams canon, where she and her husband
had once found evidences Of gold bearing
rock. She pro<pected there for several
weeks at time during the summer, go
ing back to her cabin home occasionally
to look after her children and their In
dian squaw nurse, and to cultivate anew
her vegetable farm. Along in the fall she
located two claims, one of which she sold
for s2,oO0. This gave her the capital she
needed. and from the day in March. 1890.
when the money was paid her. she has
been an ASA yer and an expert in Judging
the value of low grade gold quartz. Her
opinions are sought from Yuma to Albu-
querque, and. although now not yet over
81 years of age. she earns good COM
potency every year in fees from eastern
people, who have confidence that what
she tells them about gold mining is re-
liable Her children are in school in Los
Angeles. and she has a pretty home in
Tucson.

DISEASE IN THE MINES
Profuss Use Of water Spraying In Cob
Iieries Has Assisted In Intro
ducInE Serious Disorder.

The profuse use Of water spraying in
mines has unfortunately assisted In the
introduction Of a most serious disease
into eolleries, viz: @ankylostomaiasis. !"
which is at present mostly confined to
Austrian, German and Hungarian
mines, but has been discovered in some
mines in Cornwall, and also in Australia,
where those suffering from the disease
are called earth eaters, says Mines and
Minerals. The higher the temperature
and the greater the point Of Eaturation
the more easily Is the parasite propa-
gated, and therefore it's favorite habitat
IS In the damp and badly ventilated
places. The larvae can exist in any tenn
perature above ls degrees F., and have
been found on the higher parts Of props
and bars, but not near the floor. Fortu-
nately, the first accounts are believed to
have exaggerated the danger, and were
incorrect In stating that the infection
could be carried through the air; but
later Investigations seem to point out
that Il can only be taken In through the
mouth, and, therefore. clean hands and
clean water. when psrtaking Of foods,
are the principal safeguards.

OUR GREAT COPPER WEALTH
Michigan Led In Production Of the
Metal Untl Montana Assumed
That Honor in 1854.

In an article on Modern Methods Of
Finance" in the Pearson's, Mr.. Henry
George, Jr.. speaks Of our great copper
interests as follows: Modern copper
mining began in the United States about
1915. In that year our total production
was estimated to be about 1C0 tons.
More than a tenth Of this was produced
in Michigan. Copper mining in many OF
the states rapidly developed, but no
where 50 rapidly as in Michigan, which
in 1880 yielded more than four-hfths Of
the output Of the country.
Then It was that Montana began fits
phenomenal mineral development BY
1892 its copper production exceeded that
OF bountiful Michigan. Arizona's copper
development came later. Toward the
close Of the nineties, the copper mined
IN the United States exceeded annually
$50, O0O. 900 in value, which rivaled our
gold yield and far surpassed our pc
troleum. We had come to produce more
copper than all the rest Of the world
combined, and hence our product COM
manded the worlds market
This country's enormous copper yield
came mainly from three districts, in the
following order. The Butte region, Sill
yer Bow county. Mont; the Lake Su-
periOr peninsula Of Michigan, where 1t is
richest; and the triangular region OF
southeastern Arizona marked by Clifton,
