every young man carries the pOSslbil-
ity of future success in his makeup If
he rightly improves his leisure. Mat
thew Arnold, the son OF the great DIR.
Arnold of Rugby, asserted this when
he visited America some years ago.
He was standing at the time In the
great Boston library, looking at a little
ragged boy, with his bare feet perched
upon the chair rung, while he was read
ing and absorbing a Life of George
Washington" Matthew Arnold said,
In this great country every young man
can make success If, like yonder UNI
known boy, he will improve his spare
moments Are you going to dissipate
and frtter away your evenings during
the coming winter? Are you going to
study hard, so that you can become
something better than mere under
ling? VIII you promise me not only 10
work hard during the day, but also To
study the right kind of books for your
mental grist by night? VIII you en-
deavor during your play hours To
broaden yourself mentally and physic'
ally instead Of sacrificing your life as
thousan ds have done and will continue
to do at the glittering altar of pleasure
but there Is still one more great es
sential for true success. 1t Is the DUAL
ity to which we give the name of mag
netism. The rewards Of success come
to men who not only do their owl
work well, but inspire others to do thei
best During our school days we recog
nized this influence In college sports
We elected the captains Of our base
ball mines not only because they coult
play bail well, but also because the!

HAVE PROBABLY
 STRUCK 1T RICH TWO MINERS GET PERMISSION TO WORK THE WHITE
 TAIL DEER.
From the Copper Queen Owners, and Are Hard at Work on the Old Claim, Which Produced Over $75,oO0 in Rich Ore.

Some ten years ago the Copper Queen company purchased from the original owners this notable claim which joins the Broken Promise claim of the Wolverine and Arizona
 At that time the owners were oper ating on this claim. and had been able to produce from il high grade ore to the value of upwards of s75.O0O. A shaft had been sunk on an incline to the depth of loo feet. and drift run up to the Wolverine line. all of which work opened up good ore, and other open cut workings had served to swell the amount of production.
 IL is said that at the time of tle transfer to the Queen company the operator were uncoverirg large amounts Of ere. but work was dis continued by the big company for req sons of their own.
 Absence of work on the property has given rise to the belief that the ore bodies there had been all worked out. but this is sad to be untrue. A short time since party of mines not long in this district conceived the idea of gaining pc. mission from the CcI pe Queen 10 open + = cAp;cit the ground in that district. This was accO. air gly done. and today they have the p:epara-o.y arrangements well under way ard are cleaning out and reJimbering the shaft and drift
 It TOW tIanspi:es that these men have probably struck a "sccd thing. ' and ii is freely admitted that they will probably do well with it. an( some O. those who have been standine around waiting for some,hirg gco1 10 turn up are saying things tc tNemselNe-.

THE MODERN.

The announcement of the trans fer of the controlling interest in the Modern to wealthy New York people has been followed by a lively attempt locally 10 buy up all the shares pos sible at low prices in anticipation of 9 considerable advance in the share values. During recent weeks the price of shares in the company had aeteriorate,l considerably. owing to the bad condition of the company s finances, and some shares had changed hands as low as 15 cents each.
 An upward tendency was scon no ticeableable. however. and wires to Michigan and California points failed to bring out any offers at prices which were considered interesting.
 The stockholders meeting. which
 occurs in Bisbee on October l2th- will doubtless prove 10 be interesting At that time the selection of new officials will take place. and the new financial arrangement will enable the New York parties to obtain control s' that time.
 There are many people here who assert that the Modern IS by no means a dead one and that a few months of intelligent exploitation will make plain the fact that the property has abundance of rich min erals stored away below the surface

WILL BUILD
 GIGANTIC SHELTER
PORTLAND HAS BEEN SELECTED BY SENATOR CLARK FOR SITE.
Plans fer the New Plant Have Already
 Been Drawn and are Now in the Haads Of His representatives.

The following mention is made about a rumor that Senator w. A. Clark. of Montana, had under consid eration the construction of a large smelter plant at Portland, Oregon aays the Pacific Miner:
 "A mammoth smelter, owned and operated by w. A. Clark. located in Portland, and drawing ores to this point from all sections of the Pacific coast. seems assured. For more taar two weeks a representative of the Montana railroad and mining mag Rate has been in the city. anC much or his time has been devoted to in specting advantageous smelter cites. Mir. Clark's present plan is to bring tbe product of all his western proper sies here to be reduced.
 It is a well known fact among mining men that Senator Clark con- HVls one of the greatest lead mines is, the Corer d'Alene district. and that a has lain practically idle for the last two years. owing 10 the acticn of the lead trust and the ore being of a non siiicious nature, and therefore. nCn- fuxing This. coupled with the fact that fuxes are scarce in the Occur FAlenes. has prevented the senator from erecting plant al the mine there
 For the last three years he has had a project on foot looking to the ,sutput of this property. All who know Senator Clark k~ow that he nev- el allows anything tA7' ! is interest ed in to lav idle VII he has had the building Of the Les A aeles.

CALUMET AND BISeEE.

There is the strongest kind of p'ob- ability that ere will show in the Bis bee shaft in a few days. The water which first showed a day or two ago has gradually increased in volume un- ,il now probably 100 gallons an hour is seeping in. This. of course IS not sufficient of a flow to materially re- tard the sinking operations and as the steam lines are alreaoy partly iald III the shaft and the pump on the grounu' it is probable that the company will have every thing in shape to promptly hoist the water as soCh as if attains a volume of importance Events at the shaft during the mast two or three days nave served to confirm the convictions oi the officials that they were nealo!

The report of rich gold strike be- low Kingman has dwindled down un- til today the people of Mohave county are confronted, with one of the rank est fakes and attempted swindles ev- CT perpetrated Un mining community.

A TEST FOR GOLD.

The Mining Reporter, or Denver says: "A good test for gold, in such cases where banning is useless, is as follows: Pulverize the mineral fne ly, adding a dozen large flakes of io- dine. and about the same number oi potassium iodide granules, then about four ounces of water. Snake ar stir well and let stand for few hours. Take a piece of thin white Blotting paper and saturate with the solution of iodine. Let the paper dry. Burn it anG examine the color ss the ashes. If purple in color the mineral will contain gold; if the pa per Is gilded the mineral will contain much geli."
