 THE SUMMIT OF PIXIES PEAK

THE SUMMIT OF PIXIES PEAK.
 Frarcis J. Arkins, editor of the dis mining magazine, "Ores and Metals" of Denver, Colorado. did us the honor of calling upon us when we were out last Friday night. We had gathered the idea that Editor Ar kins was a specimen of prehistoric jerkey with Van Dykes, Corduroy leg gings, and all other paraphernalia of the individual who promotes every thing. and knows nothing about the same, but We were agreeably mista- ken. He is sensatiyely young. and as a matter of self defense claims that he has been constantly married for nine red hot years and has numerous progney dependent upon him for sub sistence. existence and some other things. Any way he had been cor responding with us in regard 10 the character of our copper lodges in the Warren district. Shortly after be ar rived. in our innocent devotion to our native formation, We took him a husky walk over the heart of the big War ren district. We started in at the Czar in the Copper Queen shelter.
 Mir. Arkins was properly impressed with the anuquated aspect of the smelter, but when it was explained how lorg that old plant had been booming and clustering and boiling over with bullion, and what approxi- mately it had produced and put upon the market ef the world. he stood aghast in awe and admiration. Then when We explained that the grandest plant on the coast was preparing to take the place of this venerable az gregatiOn of hot rust, he began 10 un- ,derstand the situation All this time MT. Arkins was looking for 9 ledge. but that identical commodity did no. happen to bob up. At the Holbrook the big crack in the hill above the hoist was pointed out. We told him that the ledge he was looking for used to be there. but had been pulled out and left that crack. IL did no: go. He is a gentleman of fine obser- vation as well as reflective powers. and he soon tumbled to the fact that Bisbee does rot deal in lodges.
 At the holbrook he was profoundly impressed with the accumulation of mine timt!ers that encumbered the ground for acres. We explained to him that the crack in Shelter hill was caused by the settling of the ground onto the stopes. which had been properly gobbed in. but of course could not be made as solid as the original formation. That gave him an approximate idea of the mag nitude of the copper deposits in the Warren district. and the ledge idea promptly evaporated. At the Spray the third big Copper Queen producer the swift and unerring precision with which the old ripple decker came to the surface. was another revelation to our Colorado friend.
 It began to dawn upon him that the Warren district was a stretch of unde. termined immensity. which was big. bigger or biggest and probably biggest being loaded from the bins. MT kins was taken off his feet by the dis play of ore accumulated at the office and the rich boulders or sulphides and oxides which bounced over the sides of the big steel ore cars as they were being loaded from the binns. Mr Merrill and Col. Foreman extended ev s2rx- ffa 1F to the visitors, and the Colorado mans impressions as he left the camp. were to use his own words, "overwhelmine and bewildering"
 At the Gardner. where : per cent sulphuretts were sent oyer the waste dump the visitor was filled with amaz, bent At the Lowell. where a heavy power house will soon be fully in stalled he was fully impressed witt the rational conclusion that they were not only prepared to continue devel opmert work but also to begin dggins out the real goods.

 was contemplated besides pumpin: and boring.
