the entire district and the strong min eral showings just in this section.
 This company owns outright their group of twenty-two claims and are in no way concerned in any bond or lease and furthermore they have such thorough foith in this particular group that offers running up to million and half of dollars for the property have failed to interest them They do not intend to sell but they fully intend to push the development work here after with greater vigor.
 The old shaft which was let down 750 feet when the heavy body of water came in will be valuable to the com pany when more extensive develop ment has been accomplished. The old shaft is about TOO feet distant from the new one The directors and pr'n- cipal stockholders reside in Los AL geles.

THE CALUMET 6 eIseeE.

The new hoist for this property has now arrived and is already in place. It reached Don Luis station on the power house without much diff culty.
 This hoist is of the Nordberg style 14x2S dimensions and has a hoisting capacity of 2500 feet. Mir Grierson, the machinist who is installing the machine is a brother of Paul Grier- son, of Calumet, Michigan. The 50O-foot hoist now doing duty at the mine has been able to out do it's rated capacity by letting the shaft down tJ its present depth of something over 600 feet. but the new one will be in commission in few days.
 As to the recent developments in the shaft the rock continues about the same degree of hardness, and there i- now considerable specialization show ing, also quite a little hematite. and the men on the property feel that they will soon boost Don Luis and cause 8 quick growth in that part of the camp Although a new Norwalk compressor is installed, the sinking, so far, has all been done by hand work but should the rock change, power drills will be promptly put to work. The drills which had been intended foI this shaft were taken to the Sister property, the Calumet & Cochise where the ground was more favorable In this connection it may be just here remarked that the Calumet & &Bis bee claim the record of the camp fol hand-drill work. they having let dowI their shaft during June a distance O I37 feet, which is certainly "goini some"

cHIRAcAHUA DEVELOPMENT co.

CHiRAcAhUA DEVELOPMENT co.
 The Chiricahua Development com pany recently organized for the pur- pose of developing what is known as the Burns copper property on the west ern slope of the Chiricahua noun tains. have recently added several ad- didonal claims to their holdings in that vicinity The company is composed of about all of the big guns of the Cal umet & Arizona. These mines are loca:- ed only fifteen miles from Rodello. on the Fl Paso Southwestern railroad and should their development result in an important camp Rodello would be the best base of supplies. At present San Simon station, on the Southern Pacific is the base of operation for the company. but the distance to that point is twenty-siX miles. nearly twice as far as to Rodello. The Burns claims consisted of twenty-two locations and have been held by Cap tain Burns for the last twelve years, who spent over thirty thousand dol lars on them. He received a nice cash nuymcnt besides he holds a large block of the stock which he glad ly accepted in fnll payment for the property in order to get the mines into the hands of those who had means to develop the excellent showing that had been made. The development company is now running a tunnel un- der an immense cropping of gossen and the tunnel has reached line of over three hundred feet and has en- countered several bodies of good cop per in that distance. In a short time a shaft will be started on another part of the property; this shaft will be sunk over three hundred feet from which it is the intention to run a drift under another immense cropping to cut it at a depth from the surface of nearly a thousand feet. The work already blocked out by the Chiricahua Development com pany will require nearly a year to complete.

WOLVERINE & ARIZONA.

Stuart Hunt is superintendent of the Woolverine & Arizona and his neigh bors think so well of the W1olverine that they say he simply can't hell striking plenty of ore. The nearness of this property to the White Tai Deer, of the Queen company, operates as a strong force in maintaining this steady confidence in the property.
 A heavier engine and other ma chinery are en route to the mine and will give them a good working outfit Plenty of timber and other supplies aer at hand for this property under the big cliff
 shaft depth of two hundred and forty feet is the record at present The shaft site is quite elevated but in other respects is ideal.

BiSBEE WEST.

Next week we hope to give an ex- tended description of this and one or two other properties together with the policy which is being outlined by the management in regard to future de- velopments
 Sinking steadily in the new shaft, the indications are of the most je sirable kind and the present depth of $50 feet is considered a very good record for the force employed. One thing is certain. that the directors nf this company feel the most perfect confidence in the great values of their holdings and they base this confidence en . most thorough investigation Of

CALUMET & COCHISE.

No particular change in the charac- ter of the rock here has been noted during the past week. Steady sink ing has brought the depth to about $40 feet and the machine drills are do- ing nice work.
 Some days back a new 100 horse power boiler from Erie, Pennsylvania, was trailed up to the shaft and a sec ond one will probably reach the mine in a few days.
 Surface improvements in the yicin- ity of the shaft will occupy consider able attention but no time will be lost in forcing down the shaft depth as fast as possible. Much is expected of the Cochise but it takes work, time and patience to puncture the rock a thousand feet or so in this vicinity, just as it does in any other place and it must be conceded that the men who are doing the actual work in these deep holes are working with will and with a pride in their work as well.
 THE JUNCTION COMPANY.
 To judge by the shooting which is being done in the big field near the Lowell boarding house one would fancy belated Fourth of July celebra- ton was being held there or perhaps start being made on next years fourth; but there is being done plenty of work here as well as the 'big firecrackers."
 A start has been made on the work which the diamond drills will proceed with as soon as the boiler and neces- sary apparatus must be es. up. This Is to be a new feature of the develop ment work in the local field and one that will be watched with very much interest Mining men in general ap- prove of this step which is being un- dertaken by the Calumet & Arizona combination
 The drill operator has arrived and his outfit is to be set up within a few days when the work of prospecting va rious sections of the local field at a depth as great as 1900 feet will be un- dertaken. This work will show up the gelogical formations at the vari- ous points and will doubtless add a great deal to the present knowledge of the underground conditions in the district adjacent to the city of Bisbee.
 At the four compartment shaft on this property sinking is in progress and already in pretty hard rock. Tim Der fails to arrive as promptly as need ed, thereby detaining some of the sur face improvements contemplated It is the intention to erect two or three buildings at once, and prepare for the reception of a temporary hoist and other machinery which should be on the ground within few days.

ILLUSION WELL KEPT UP.
Midshipman's SeIf-sacrifice Matte,
Of Wonder.

Midshipman's SeIf-Sacrifice a Matter
Of Wonder.
In "Reminiscences of the Old Navy
is related an amusing incident of a
visit of the United States ship Preble
to Port Mahon in 1872 At fancy
dress ball one of the midshipment
went attired as an old boot He had
ingeniously contrived a tolerably fair
imitation of boot out of barrel hoops
and canvas. Getting into it, he man
aged to hold it up by means of straps,
the sole resting on rollers, while a
couple of slight holes cut near the
top Of the leg enabled him to navi-
gate the ballroom and steer clear of
posts and wall flowers. He did not
dance in costume, although he made
brave efforts to induce some fair
woman to accept him-the excuse be-
ing that his foot was too large. The
most remarkable thing about this mid
shipman, however, and the topic that
was most widely discussed was the
fact that he refused to allow his iden.
simply marvellous when refreshments
were served. Wine flowed like water
and a delicious sausage, called soben
sados, made exclusively by the Ma
honese, were offered unstintedly. TIL
fortitude of this midshipman in re
fusing, or, rather, being unable to ca
or drink was widely commented upo
and aroused the sympathies of the
other guests. Finally some of tn!
ladies and gentlemen insisted on pour.
ing wine into the peepholes of the
boot and then thrusting sausages into
the same apertures, having vague
idea that somehow or other the drink
and food might reach the self-denying
prisoner within and he could drink
the wine and MUNICH the sobensados
retreat. There seems to have been
no question about the wine reaching
him-although probably not in a
drinkable way-but the sausages
stuffed into the peepholes completely
cut off his line of vision. His hands
were engaged Unfolding up the straps.
SO he endeavored to tear the sausages
out with his teeth. But they were
strong and resisted all his efforts tc
pull in or push out, so that he was
compelled to heave to under short
sail and founder around the ballroom
very much like ship without rud
der.

The Nioht Herd.

There's a mournful wind that whines
Through the cedars and the pines,
And the fog from off the creek blow
chill and damp:
And it's hours and it's weeks
Ere the welcome saddle creeks,
And the first relief comes riding out OF
camp:
IT'S to circle-circle round,
All the mired trampled ground,
Heel or fog the leaders back whose heads
are veering
IT'S to ride and rail and grid
At the shifting, drifting herd,
When the night herd holds the cattle in
the clearing.
When the tired doggies knee!
And the care that rode to heel
OF a horseman clings and crouches at his
heart,
To what fantasies of thought
Is the minor cadence wrought
In the symphonies where wind and wood
take part?
Are the songs whose memory CHANGED?
Are they tunes his feet have danced?
Have they words that stab, familiar and
endea ring?
Oh, there needs no score Of years
To have ghosts to herd like steers,
When the night herd holds the cattle in
the clearing.

AT Catfish Crossing

1t was 4 rainy day at Catfish Cross
ing. Quite few of the Crossings
most veracious citizens were in ses-
sion at GrimsM's grocery Those
meetings at GrdmsoTs grocery are
never in executive session. They are
open and above board. Any one may
sit by and hear them. Frequently
strangers who are passing through,
whether travelling Tor pleasure or 60
ing on across into Jersey, tarry while
at GIimsol's grocery. If;there is ses-
sion of Crossing citizens on, these
strangers VIII necessarily pause and
listen And often lUok and listen
will inspire some one of them to
throw in a little thing of his own on
the subject in hand, or perhaps on
some other subject
On this particular rainy day at Cat
fish Crossing the visiting stranger at
Grims0l's grocery WIS a tall man with
a blue umbrella and "a large Roman
nose The expression of his face was
amiable, but his trousers were very
short. He looked like a man who
would ten the truth fit was necessary,
but the shade of his nose was prima
faCie evidence that he had never been
overpOmpt in saying NO" An
ordinary listener to the proceedings Of
this session at the grocery might have
been wise enough to suggest affidavits
as appropriate things to go with what
he heard, but this visiting stranger
gave every outward evidence of en-
tire confidence in the credibility of the
session; seemed as firmly fixed in his
belief in it as he was in his belief
that the big pitcher at the far end of
the counter had cider in it.
A hull having come in the proceed
ings, the stranger spoke and said:
Il see You use pine sawdust for
beddin' down your horses over here,
and there amt nothin' better"
Squire Billduff, who sat on the wood
box, said no, there wasn't.
There amt no doubt, neither" con-
tinued the stranger, that this here

jured up for maxim hens lay whether
they want to or not is built on the right
idea"
Old Bier Crump, from the cracker
barrel, said there wasn't no kind O.
doubt of It, cause he had tried it,
but let me warn you!" said the
stranger. Beware O nigh-sighted
hired men!
This made everybody prick up his
ears and look around little queer;
but Sugar-tooth' Bill Fritchey, sitting
on the nail key, cracked two or three
