THE BISBEE QUEEN
Another Big Warren District Enter
 priss-0ther Bisbee Mines

Before a fortnight has passed active operations on another promising copper property will have been commenced in the Warren Mining district, says the Blsbee Review. The new company is known as the Bisbee-Queen Develop ment company, and the property com prises twenty-four claims, is located in Gold gulch. and lying west toward the Calumet & Cochise group. The distance from Bisbee is three and one half miles, southeast. Contrary to the usual custom. the owners of the prop terty have not asked Michigan men to come in and organize a company. all though several fiattering offers were received from that source.
 B. F. Graham. who a few weeks ago. successfully handled the Fl Tigre prop osition. is the moving spirit in the Bisbee Queen Development company. which insures the new company an ac- tive and energetic management. The Bisbee-Queen company will be controll- ed by Bisbee people and from present indications will be numbered among the active development companies of this district at an early day.
 
 $1 .OOO, ,OOO; 2OO,O 900 shares at s each. A remarkable feature about the Bisbee- Queen is that there is no promoters stock reserved by the incorporators. The group was purchased outright for S350. .OO0 Three hundred thousand dol lars of this amount was paid in stock of the company, and the remaining s5O.O0 is to be paid In long time pay ments.
 MT. Graham stated yesterday that he already had assurance that the first issue of 10000 shares would be over subscribed.
 "A hoist will be ordered immediately and there will be sufficient funds in the treasury of the company for de- 'velopment work on a large scale."
 Out on the Portage Lake property. the bunk house and boarding house has been completed, and a day shift is putting down a shaft now in q manner that shows the latest company means business. The site for the shaft was selected by MT. Funkey last Sunday, and just as soon as practical a night shift will be added to the force.
 The Marquette and Arizona hoist purchased recently from the Mine and Shelter Supply company of Fl Paso, was put into commission last Monday morning. and during the week just closed three shifts have been walking" shaft No. down through conglomerat4 at a rapid pace. The Marquette and Arizona is one of the strongest com panies in the district. They have au,- pie means in their treasury and no stock is being offered for sale

A KING UP TO DATE.

Writing of the severe training to which the present king of Italy has been subjected by his tutors, a con tributor to NJ A. P. says:
 This little prince was put under a military tutor. Col Oslo. slept in a cold room, took a cold plunge bath every morning whether i'll or we'll (and 1t was usually the former); had his breakfast by gaslight at z, if there was time. but if he was late he went without; began lessons at 7:30. being made to devote himself to those he particularly dis- liked, and was afterwards sent for g ride. rain or shine. Often and often he returned to the palace soaked through. but no matter how violent the subsequent cold might be. the daily programme was not relaxed.
 And In the same spirit everything was done by this stern tutor to destroy any of the false pride of station. Here. for instance. was how Col. Osio treated the autograph fiend when he persecuted his pupil. A we'll known public man had applied to the young prince for his signature.
 "The prince, without a trace of self conceit, sat down to comply. when his tutor said: What rubbish! He wants the autoghaph of a schoolboy who does not yet write decently. It is impossi- ble. He must be crazy!' and the auto graph was not written.
 Here Is another story. which shows how. now and then, the young lad was stirred to revolt:
 "The prince had made a remark which his tutor chose to consider stupid so he looked at him and said: Among donkeys there is no pedigree. If l were king you should wear fool cap If I were king was the answer, you should be knight of the order of po- liteness!'
 ''The sequel of the story Is agreeable. Col. Osio had one point in his strong armor: he was supposed to have a strong desire for title. The prince, be- coming king, has forgotten his wrongs real and fancied, and Col. Oslo is now Count Oslo.
 "The effects of all this stern dlsci- pline have been good-though they might we'll have been bad; for the king

STAMP MILL BURNED
Fire Destroys Reduction Plant and
 Hoist at MeCabe.

McCabe. which has been more or less unlucky in the past, has just received another blow in the shape of the loss of the stamp mill, hoist and other ma chinery, says the Prescott Herald. The property was destroyed by fire, which started from an exploding lamp Tues day evening. The whole place was a mass of flames In a very few seconds after the oil from the lamp ignited. and 1t was utterly impossible to check the onslaught of the fire.
 The property destroyed consisted of ten-stamp mill. hoist and auxiliary machinery used in the reduction of the McCabe ores. The loss will probably be upward of $25,OOO. and comes as serious blow at this particular time, when many properties in the vicinity are closed down.
 L. w. Felt, general manager of the McCabe and Model mines, left town this afternon for McCabe. He was in Kirkland when he received the news Of the loss to his companies.
 Definite information concerning the cause of the fire is very difficult to ob- tain, but the concensus of opinion seems to be that the explosion of the lamp was followed by a greater explo- sion of either dynamite or powder. which completely demolished the builG- ing. The first alarm was given to the town by the blowing of whistles, bur before the alarm had been generally spread the explosion took place.

FACTS ABOUT OWLS
What Visitor to Museum of Natural
 History Told Children With Him.

The people who stood in front of one of the large cases in that part of the American Museum of Natural History one day last week where specimens of the owl family are on exhibition were treated to an impromptu lecture. The man who spoke was an Englishman and his remarks were addressed to two little boys who were not at all times as deeply interested as the people who were attracted to the spot by the mans earnest manner
 They call it bird of i'll omen." he said, and prejudice. superstition and ignorance have made 1t a hard luck bird in all ages. In lot of your boy stories owls are spoken of as witches in disguise. and in others, when the bad witches get into a tight corner they change into owls. It is a case of giv- ing bird a bad name. But there is some reason for this. The other birds seem to dislike the owls. too. have watched them so often and know that little fellows will attack an owl and will be joined by other birds in the fight, and the poor owl will fly aimlessly about from one place to another until he can find hollow tree into which he can escape from his prosecutors.
 But really he does not deserve 1t. for the owl is a pretty useful bird in some parts of the world: surely in Eng land. where we see more of them than here. This one here" he said. pointing 10 bird of light yellow. with gray specks and lower plumage of pure white. lis the screech or barn owl. He makes his home in barns at harvest time and waits there for rats and mice The farmers don't think him a hard luck bird. because he destroys the grain-eating pests. You should see him sitting on rafter high up in a dark corner, as motionless as the stuffed bird before us. and as patient as hard-luck fisherman. Presently MT. Mouse comes along. You could not see or hear the little animal, but the owl does both, and before the mouse has had time to think about it the owl drops from his perch and the mouse's census has been reduced by one. They keep this up right along. and the English farmer would no more drive an owl from his barn than he'd take the roof of. He does not believe in the hard luck stories about the bird.
 You who have never seen owls eX- cept when they have been carefully stuffed like these in the case think they are fat. That's another mistake. Owls are usually nothing but skin and bones and feathers. Their big heads and the fluffy feathers make them look big. Having their eyes in front and not at the sides of the head Is not the only difference between them and other birds. They mate for life, and the care and attention bestowed upon Mrs. Owl by her husband might be studied to good advantage by men who kill owls just for fun.''

He will put in a steam hoist and boiler Grad ing is now in progress for the hoist, gallows frame is being put in place and three shifts of miners have been stead fly at work upon the property. There are seven claims in the group. The surface characteristics are three par allel iron dikes, one 175 feet wide. one 75 and one 50 feet. The Blue Bell ad- joins these properties and the same ledge runs through them. It is eX pected to strike the ledge in the shaft at depth of 300 feet Sinking was be- ing pushed rapidly when the water was encountered. The water is well inn pregnated with arsenic. The main ore values are copper with some gold.
 The shaft of the Chicago mine. on Groom creek, has been timbered, ant sinking is now in progress. The shaft will be put down 400 feet, which will give it a total depth of 550 feet. The machinery and other equipment on this property is all new and up to date. The company will figure on a mill when the time is ripe.
 Superintendent Mark Bradley of the Lion Gold company on Cherry creek says the Huntington mill is running night and day on orc from the com panys Bardshar mine and all indica- tions are that the properties will be steady bullion producers.
 The old Mesa Gold Mining company. which was organized April 22, is start ing work on a long tunnel on its group of mines in Bigbug district in the neighborhood of the Poland tunnel. says the Courier.

Great Activity at the Iron King, May,
 Climax, Chicago and Others.

Ben Blanchard is in from the Iron King property and reports things showing up in wonderful manner at that mine. says the Journal Miner The force has been increased to 125 men and hardly a day but more men are put to work. The 100 ton mill has been ready to start up for several days and the pipe line to the Agua Fria river has been completed, but the pump to be used in bringing the water from the river to the mine has not arrived and everything is now waiting on it. l. should have been here several days ago, but has been delayed en route somewhere. It is expected to arrive any day and will be put in place at once upon it's arrival. when the mlll will start up with full force. Probably goo men will then be employed at the property. The Iron King is certainly one of the monster mines Of the west.
 J. K. Truman. we'll known mining superintendent of Arizona, has ar rived in Prescott from Phoenix and will have the superintendency of the work on the Climax Gold company, which is now getting ready to begin active development work on some properties a few miles from Prescott. NJ. E. Spaulding is the Prescott agent for the company, which has its headquarters in Chicago. A force of men has been put to work repairing the road to the property after which the mill on the property will be overhauled and put in first class condition for steady work The company is going at the work in a manner which indicates that they mean business and intend to develop producer if it can be made.
 At the Bannie mine the grading for the hoist is about completed. The grading for the other buildings, board ing house. bunk house. office and assay office will be completed soon. The hoist will be in place about the 18th of May, when sinking the shaft will be commenced and will be pushed vigor- ously to the POO foot level which will be reached within thirty or forty days.

 Such are the men on whom the press depends for its character and strength and the public for the true service which only an honest press can render it.

DIsCoMFORTs OF TRAVEL.
Selections From the After-Dinner Phil
 osophy of Simeon Ford.

It is conceded that there is nothing more educating and refining than travel It is also conceded that nothing is more conducive to travel than free passes. You can now understand why I am so highly educated and so re- fined.
 I know of nothing which so enhances the pleasure of a railroad trip as a pass. It srnooths out all the asperities and fatiques of the journey. Tt mak- eth glad the wilderness, and the soli- tary places, and maketh the desert tc rejoice and blossom as the rose." have often risen up and left a comfort able fireside. kind friends and solicit ous creditors, and journeyed to remote and cheerless localities in which I was quite uninterested. lured thereto by the magic influence of a pass. You all know how Svengali hypnotized poor Trilby, simply by a few passes.
 The immortal poet Longfellow was way off when he wrote:
 Try not the pass" the old man saiG. " Dark lowers the tempest overhead.
 The roaring torrent is deep and wide. ''
 And loud that clarion voice replied
 Excelsior"
 Now the old man probably advised the youth not to try the pass, because he knew if he did and got one. he would never be asked to pay fare again with out feeling that an outrage was being perpetrated on him. The opium habit is a positive virtue compared with the pass habit The fact that one Is in no way entitled to free transportation only stimulates one in the desire to ride at some other fellows expense.
 One of the most dangerous laws we have is the one forbidding eholders to accept passes. It keeps our leading citizens out of politics.
