PELEE'S MIGHTY OBELISK The Tower of Rock 5000 Feet High Which the Eruption Left Behind.

Fresh from what he terms the most wonderful spectacle nature has ever presented, Prof. Angelo Heilprin is back in Philadelphia after a two months visit to Mont Pelee on the island of Martinique, says the Philadelphia Press.
 "The distinguishing feature of Mont Pelee," he says, "and that which makes this volcano unique among, the vel canoes of the world, is the giant tower or obelisk of rock which is being ex- truded from the summit of the newly made cone, which obelisk now rises up in supreme grandeur over 5000 feet high and almost vertically $40 feet above the summit of the cone proper, with thickness at the base of from 300 to 550 feet.
 Locking at the obclisk of solid lava from the rim of the crater as 1 did at the time of my last ascent of the vol cano on June 13, the scene that pre- sented itself was of unequaled grand eur and having fully in mind the grand scenes of nature that I have already witnessed. the Alps, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Yosemite and the great ice fields Of the Arctic North, it seems to be well within the truth to say that lIllS SCeile SuTpd4SSSS all others.
 "One can form no conception of it's magnificence and terrorizing aspect. The old summit of Mont Pelee, which was rounded and about 4,000 feet high, is now overtopped by this new creation by nearly 1000 feet, so that the apex of the volcano, which surpasses the old dome. is found at a height of 5.200 feet above the sea, and the cone, together with it's surmounted obelsk, has still surrounding it a crater basin of about 300 feet depth, over which great puffs of steam and sulphur vapor are being emitted, showing that the activity of the volcano is not yet still.
 "The appearance of this obelis< or monument on the summit of the VOL cano, transfiXing it's cone and virtually blocking it, is no less remarkable than the conditions which are involved in it's making There is no question Of doub that the entire mass, rising to twice tn height of the Washington monument ot Washington. with four times it's thick ness, is being pushed up bodily, and has been pushed out in this manner to it's full present height.

YAVAPAI MINING NOTES
 By 0RICK JACKSON

The tax roll of Yavapai county for the year 1903 has been closed. A perusal of the valuation of all interests shows an increase over that of the preceding year, in which somewhat of a gain is noticed in one instance. while a slight decrease is given in others. The strik- ing feature, however. of the stability of the county, and the progress that has taken place in the past two years, is that of the mining industry, and when we mention the indisputable evidence official records show, there is no legiti- mate avenue by which any statement can be gainsayed to the contrary.
 The assessment roll for 1903 gives to mining in Yavapai, the following in one respect. The number of patent ed mines is 901. Compare this number of mines with that of the entire terri tory at large, and what is shown. That Yavapai has more mines to be favored in this respect, and accordingly a merited rating. than all of the remaining twelve counties combined. This is a broad assertion, but it is sub stantiated by the records at the terri torial capital.
 The valuation of these patented mines
  provements are placed at sS54,526 Fol lowing this the unpatented mines come in which only the improvements are assessed, and this shows in addition to the patented ones a further increase ir mining valuation of $194 ,11950. In all q mining property valuation of S2, ,132, 141.S0 is given for the entire county Compare this total valuation with that of hn of ;t will be shown that Yavapai again is assessed at half of the mining valuation of the territory.
 The above figures must not be con- founded with any other valuation that is associated with mining in a broad sense, such as personal property, real estate, or commercial channels but is q tax On mining specifically. If ether interests or those which form a portion of mining in Yavapai were likewise as, sessed the above figures would be ma terially increased. but the object is no, to associate these avenues directly with the same. although they are in reality a necessary factor in the prosecution of the industry.
 The entire valuation of all interests in the county, including the mining as-
 
 places Yavapai county as the second wealthiest division of Arizona, being Outclassed by only Maricopa county the latter's stability being confined to agriculture as a basis of support.
 The above valuation that covers this county is pleasant one to comprehend in mines and mining, and win such a fact it is also to be weighed and con- sidered in its mineral favor. While surface indications may prevail al other points in the territory that give particular localities somewhat of . charm and attract the many necessari- ly, the fact prevails, that in bona fide investments. more of an earnest re- gard is and has been shown this section than at any other point in an Arizona county.
 Another fact must also be considered outside the realm of official life in fla vor of what is given as to mining val nations in this county. The entire as- sessed value of mining ground is in- significant in dollars and cents, official

CASEY COPPER PROPERTY
Dos Cabezas Mine To Be Worked By
 WiIlcoxaPeople.

One day last week the Range News editor visited the Casey copper proper ty, now owned by the Chicago and Ari- zona Copper company, situated in the Dos Cabezas mountains, twelve miles east of Wilcox, says that paper.
 He was shown over the property by John Casey. At the bottom of the 100 foot shaft We found a good body of rich sulphide ore which looked good to us, and from which we broke off several rich samples and have them now on exhibition at this office.
 The surface indications ail point to the making of a great mine with a lit tie more development work. An inn mense iron eapping or blow out several hundred feet in length and of consider able width showing copper stains is probably the most prominent indication of what may be expected with a little further exploration.
 Samples taken from the bottom of the shaft by Mr. j. M. Libby, the well known expert, and assayed yielded gold .12 ounces or SPAS; silver 5.4S ounces or S2.74; copper 6-1O per cent. figured at 10 cents per pound, s15.2O; total valuation S20.42 per ton.
 The above is a very good showing for prospect. and as MT. Libby remarks in his report upon the property, ''The number and size of the outcroppings would tend to show that large bodies of sulphureted ledge matter would be encountered by singing below the oxi- dized zone. Judging from the size and number of these cappings a large amount of ore can be expected '
 That the company intends sinking was noted by the writer, for on his re- turn to Dos Cabezas from the mines a load of lumber for timbering purposes had just pulled In from the Chiricahua saw mill, and the next day in coming to Wilcox on the stage we met some freighters hauling out tents, tools, a whim and other mining equipment foI the establishment of a camp.
 The Chicago and Arizona Copper company is composed of well knowr local business men of high standing who will give the property economica and practical management, thus insur- ing ultimate success. The officers are i Thomas B. Chatham, merchant at Dos Cabezas. president; W. F. Nichols. ter
 ritOrial auditor, vice president; P. E 1 Soto, of the firm of SCto Bros.,' mer. chants at Wilcox. secretary and treas
 urcr. The directors are: John Casey | Thomas B. Chatham, James J. Riggs w. F. Nichols and P. B. Soto.

 "On May 31, when the volcano lost nearly 200 feet if its summit, the apex reached the 5,20O feet. At the present time it rises slightly above 5,009 feet On the four days preceding June F, the rise of the tower was twenty-one feet but in the carly period the extrusion was nearly twice as rapid. On the day preceding my departure a faint line of steam was seen issuing from the ab- solute apex, showing the Assures and passages .ns.t exist within the mass. which permit the interior steam to travel through completely from the base to the summit

 The operations of the Monroe Con- solidated company on Lynx Creek, con- the management of D. c. Monroe. The work is confined to the Rowe claim. From the first level a car load Of ore was sent to the Val Verde Smelter for reduction and the same gave a hand- some return, more satisfactory in short, than was anticipated. The work now being given is to reach greater depth and in this respect the same is attended with the general belief of mi nerS that good results will follow, the ore bodies being hit showing more of a permancy and carrying d grade of ore better in values. The belief also gen orally prevails that another dividend payer vii be added to the mines of Ya- yapai county, there being every reason to substantiate this by the showing of the mine as depth is reached and the practical methods prevailing in operat- ing the same This company will also develop other claims in the group in the near future. and which also are said to warrant work by surface indi- cations. A concentrating plant for the mines is also being talked of, and with this facility profitable production should follow development.

What would the valuation Cf these separate interests be rated at in official or private chan nels, if by some unforeseen event these mines should be sold on merit alone?
 Yavapai county is conservatively speaking the wealthiest and also the strongest portion in Arizona, today. and while the official values in mining alone say so. the tide of investment substantiates it. by what is shown in patented mines and the improvements on the same as compared with othe:- sections. If in reality but one-fifth of
 the actual valuations were placed on mining ground alone, the present ter
 ritorial assessment roll of $40, 900, 900 could be doubled, and if this was per
 mitted to be done what an inviting proposition it would be at this particu-
 lar time and as a substantial argument in favor of statehood. But while a gen. erous sentiment has prevailed to assist mining in this section, and encourage 1 investors as well as those permanently l identified, the wisdom of official regard extended and the good that is following
 in production and development reflects in a creditable manner on those who | have materially assisted to this end.
 | The figures that are above given as
 to the progress of mining in Yavapai,
 and as compared to all of Arizona, are
 but the skim of the milk, so to speak. Gs to the actual financial rating of this section. When official methods change,
 or when the time comes for concerted
 movement to equalize territorial values
 in mines and other interests. Yavapai cannot help but maintain it's present position so far as the rest of Arizona 1 figures, and it's merit as a tax payer
 will be further and emphatically sus- ! tained by what it's hidden mineral in terests reflect today, and with what is confidently known to face the future.
