AUGUST RECORD

The Calumet & Cocbise have been doing some pretty rapid work durins the past month in the way of shaft sinking and after measuring up or the first it was found that the crew under the direction of Manager Ed Bowers had forced the shaft bottom down exactly 1i0 feet during the month
 The formation during that distance c has been pretty uniform and some what softer than during the previous month through but few of the lime caves have been encountered
 So far as known this is the best record for the camp for August Ma chine drills have of course. been used and as the rock was blown out consid erable copper staining has continued to show.
 Over in the Calumet & Bisbee. 115 feet was made during the month and this with hand drills was pretty fast going. Mir. Beehler. clerk for these two companies was in town yesterday and while he speaks in a conservative way regarding their work it is evident that the indications they have at both properties are such as 10 give them every confidence in the future.

VALLEY FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
Only Herd Of Highland Cattle in Amer
lea Will be Exhibted-Billinqs
Farm Will be Represented.

Among the attractions at the Valley
Fair this year will be a herd of High
land cattle owned by Warner NJ. Van
Worden, a wealthy farmer of Westches-
ter county, New York. This herd is the
only important importation of Highland
cattle ever made into this country. With
the exception of one steer exhibited at
Chicago these cattle have never been
on public exhibition. Mr.. Van Worden
will take the herd which is coming here
10 the Worlds Fair in St. Louis next
year. In selecting these animals Mr.,
Van Worden spent three months trav-
cling through Scotland and the Hebrides.
The cattle are beef breed and it is
claimed that their flesh is very tender
and of delicious flavor. Their horns
spread to a great width and their hair
often grows to a length of six inches or
more.
George Aitkens, manager of the Bill
ings farm in Woodstock, assures the
management that he will make a large
exhibit at the fair, including the famous
Billings herd of Jerseys, Southdown
sheep, Berkshire swine, poultry and
pheasants. This exhibit will include
some of the finest specimens in the diff
| ferent classes mentioned to be found in
America or England. The Billings stock
will be shown in a large tent by itself
and will be entered for exhibition only.

The Church of the Popes.

The history of that church joins TO-
gether the two great ages of human
civilization. No other institution is left
standing which carries the mind back 10
the times when the smoke of sacrifice
rose from the Pantheon and when camel
opards and tigers bounded in the Flavian
amphitheatre. The proudest royal houses
are but of yesterday when compared
with the line of the supreme pontius.
The papacy remains, not in decay
not mere antique but full of life and
useful vigor. Nor do we see any
sign which indicates that the term of her
long dominion is approaching. She saw
the commencement of all the govern
ments and of all the ecclesiastical estab-
lishments that now exist in the world
and we feel no assurance that she is not
destined to see the end of them all She
was great and respected before the
Saxon had set foot on Britain, before the
Frank mad passed the Rhine. when
Grecian eloquence still flourished in An
tioch, when idols were still worshipped
In the temple of Mecca. And she may
still exist in undiminished vigor when
some traveller from New Zealand shall
in the midst of the vast solitude, take
his stand on a broken arch of London
Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul $
