Rich's footwear has been

creating special STYLES for
those people who had their

The considerate attention
OF mothers should now be
turned toward the children's
footwear. If they are of the

necessarily be subjected to
considerable risk in going to
school in wet, sloppy

the risk is reduced. You

 Aside from the fuel question. a gasoline hoist requires very skilled attendance. which is hard tc obtain in an isolated mining location, and be- tween not having a man t0 run the machine and not having the machine in condition to run. the prospects of successful work with a gasoline hoist, in my judgment. is not very 1attering.

THE C'7AGOONS.

The railway between Cochise and Pearce is completed and the company. the Arizona x Coloraco. is running two trains each way a day. and IS do- Ing heavy business. The Pearce correspondent of the Los Angeles Mining Review. writing of this. says:
 They are hauling from one to two cars of oil day for the Pearce gold mine, and two or more cars of coke daily for the Black Diamoni Copper company, besides hauling in and out tor the tributary camps. The Black Diamond Copper company is again run hing its shelter full capacity, after a ty,3 monshS shutdown because of lack of water. They have now four inch pipe line connected to the Com monwealth's big tank. from which water runs by gravity to the com pany's pumping station. where the water is pumped anG raiSei 800 feet Diamond reservoir at the smelter. The company is turning out a; it's shelter a large quantity of copper daily. containing a high percentage Of silver. going as high as 196 ounces to the ton of matte. The latter aver ages 45 per cent copper. The ore is ! absolutely self-ffuxing. No mixture of ores is attempted; it is shoveled into the furnace ;ns. as it comes from the stopes. and the slag loss is prob ably the lowest of any sReltiLy plant in Arizona. being stated at only 90 days it was as low as .26 per cent. Tine ere is transported frrr. the mino to the shelter by aerial tramway. de. liyering 150 tors of ore a day. which will soon be increased to 175 tons. Tho company is now employing 26o men.

 Il is stated that contract has been let by the Middlemarch company tc a Los Angeles firm for a 100-ton con centrating plant. The M'ddlemarch plant is about three n:les distant from the Black Diamond mines. There is no diminution in proGuc-

In his report on he production of copper in the United States during the year 1902, just issued by the United States Geological survey. Charles Kirchhoff says: The cop per mining industry of the Cbited States suffered during 1902 from the reaction which followei the unscc- cessful attempt during 1901 to main tain the value of the metal aU an ar tifcial level. The collapse which cane toward the close of 1902 left many producers committed to sales covering a long period of low prices. with the menace of heavy acoUmula- tions of metal constantly over the market. Yet production was heavier in 1902 than it had been in 1901. be cause some of the important mines were worked to full capacity. and be cause some of the tnlargements and improvements previously begun be came effective during the year. Fur thermore. a number of new mining enterprises first nrO1rced important quantities of metal On the othe- hand. accidents and labCr troubles cut down the output of some of the larger undertakings. The table ac- companying the rerort shows that copper was first produced in the United States in 1S46. the total pro duction for the year being reported at 1SO tons of which the Lake Superior region contributed twelve tons. r. was not until 1888 that production reached the 100 900 mark From that year the increase was rapiG
 reaching 2O5.3S4 tons in 1896. For last year the production is e. ported by MT. Kirchhoff at 294, ,l2e long tons. the largest quantity pro duced in the United States in any orc year Of this total quantity.
