An Astonishing Number Of Varieties

A bulletin recently issued by Colo

bees. Some people, indeed, think that
there are only three-the honey bee

quoted. no less than 1878 different spe-

from North America-that is. includ-

should prefer certain kinds. This

IN YEAGER CANYON.
Installation of Modern Concentrating
 Plant the Latest Feature.

A cotton concentrating plant is now being installed at the Yeager Canyon Copper cCmpany's property in Yeager Canyon, says the Prescott Herald. It will consist of a No. ? Austin crusher. a set of 14X27 ruffing rolls a set of high speed 30X6 rolls, two 36-foot elevators, one Bartlett concentrating table, one Card table, three of the latest improv- ed Wilhey tables, three Wilfley sinners, four improved impact screens, Chal- lenge belt driven feeders and an S0- horsepower Frost engine, and will com prize the latest and most up-to-date plant in operation in this part of the country. The rapid work that has been accomplished under the direction of the company's manager, MT J. B. Tomlin son, a careful student of geological conditions and a thorough and prac- tical miner has elicited the admira- ton of the country's mining frater- nifty. This new plant is strictly a wet process and arranged in such a manner that the troubles from shines will be made away with.
 Mr. Tomlinson has spent much time in the study of ways and means by which the Yeager canyon ore could be treated successfully. and has decided upon this method which is a combina- tion of well known processes arranged to meet the requirements. w. W. Elliott the well known mill constructor has been an able assistant Of MT. Tomlinson in perfecting the plans and | details of the plant.
 Following is a short description of the new mill which will give an idea of the arrangements of the various parts without going into technical description, which space will not allow at this time:
 The ore, as it comes from the stor- age bins, at the mouth of the shaft. which is about 150 feet from the mill. frst goes into the scale room where every pound of ore is weighed. and then passes on the grizzleys. the fine going tC the storage bins below.

The Is product then passes tO the coarse elevator. the oversize or 2C-mesh, passing to the fine elevator: the undersize. from 2O-mesh, passes to the impact screen ahead of Wilfey tables
 The product from the rolls passes to the coarse elevator and is discharged upon the impact screens, which makes three distinct products, the oversize from the 's Iasring back to the rolls: the Is product and over size from D.

The underS:ze from 2l-mesh, and the oversize from 41-meSh EasSes to the card table. The under size from 4O-mesh passes to screens at the head of the Wilhey table.

RICH STRIKE AT FIT. BOWIE.
Large Body of High Grade Ore in the
 Little Emigrant.

Fhe Gold Nugget Mining company, operating in the Little Emigrant canyon, two miles. cast of old Fort Bowie, struck a large body of fine gold ore last week on their lower or first tunnel on the Golden Fleece vein. At a depth of 15O feet the ore apparently had all played out. but the Collard brothers who are in charge, under stand mining too we'll to let such q thing interfere with their operations. They had a few uppers put in the roof of the tunnel and there the vein was discovered five feet wide and richer than it was before. The ore is also i'm proving very fast in the upper tunnel. Little Emigrant bids fair to be a thrifty mining camp in the near fu- ture. There have been some very good gold prospects found about two miles south of the Chiricahua Development cOmpany's property on the east side of the Chiricahua mountains.
 These mines are attracting consid- erable attention just now and there seems to be a well defined gold belt running from this point along the

THE MINING INDUSTRY

ming that would be funny but for the fact that their applications are so dis astrous to their interests. Their inten- tions are good, but their judgment is faulty. For instance, a story is going the rounds of the press about a mine superintendent who cabled his English company that the shaft had caVed in and that d new one would have to be made" The English president of the company cabled back: Cant you buy a second hand shaft? This is equal to the Kansas method of cutting dry we'll in sections and selling them to settlers for pest hCles. This is an old gag but is as good as the buying of a second hand shaft" and illustrates and corrobCrates the statement so often made regarding the ignorance of eastern capitalists regarding mining affairs. In the case Of the second haid shaft" the affair is laugha ble and not at all serious: but supposing that an emergency of great importance was at stake; a question involved where life or fOrtunte trembled in the balance. then such ignorance as that displayed by the English mine presi dent would have been disastrous to the best interests of the company.
 As a matter of fact, too many "sec- ond hand shaft men have the man agement of mining affairs; too many such men have the handling of com pany money, and too many of them are clamoring for dividends and profits before work has hardly commenced in mine development and operation, in mine and mill equipment.
 The moral is that none but men of T ed with the affairs of a mining com pany, and that all other methods of mine management and operation are hazardous and dangerous-to the in vesting public.-Salt Lake Mining Re view

SECOND HAND SHAFTS.
Why Some Men Fail to Make Success
 of Mining.

The average farmer would make poor banker: the average banker would not prove much of a success at culti- vating the soil: the average miner would soon wreck a mercantile ousl- ness. and the public generally, would not meet with much success in mining operations. Every business occupation requires a peculiar talent, certain knowledge and a great deal of expert ence tC, sustain it on a paying basis, and none more so than mining, for ml- ming after all. is a business proposl- tion and must be conducted as such If success is to crown the efforts of those who pursue the fascinating industry.
 And yet. sad to relate, more rank ig- norance is displayed by many who fol- low mining as a business than is to be found in almost any other industrial pursuit. and the result of this lack of knowledge, of experience, is clearly shown in the disastrous failures record ed in mining affairs throughout this in- termountain region.
 We say in this intermountain region for the reason that it is in this section that the ajority of producing and paving mines are to be found. But the blame for these failures does not apply to the real mining men of the west, but to the ignorance and incOmpetency of eastern investors who control certain enterprises in this western country. For instance, the directorate of many mining companies is composed of east ern men who have not the least real conception of mining affairs. The president of a company may be a first class eastern business man, but he has

His superintendent may be a man of ex- ceptiCnal ability and experience, one who had he but his way and ample funds at his command, would soon prove to the satisfaction of all the req! value of the property under his man. agenIent and direction. Generally. however. he is handicapped by the eastern mana cement which bubbles at his requests, ignores his recom- mendations and fails utterly at the critical point when intelligent and concerted acton would soon place the property of the company upon pro- ducing and paying basis; and all be- cause the president and his board of directors know nothing at all about mining and because they are ignorant of the requirements necessary in the operation Of a mining proposition.
 Many eastern men, interested in mining affairs, have ideas about mi

RENTING OUT HER CUT GLASS
The Business Scheme of a Woman to
 Realize a Revenue.

A woman who was suddenly deprived of all means of support through an un- wise speculation, followed almost inn mediately by the death of her hus- band. was induced by the chance re- mark of a friend who called while she was packing her silver and cut glass for storage. to offer both for service at a nominal figure. The friend happen ed to know a woman who was planning to make a great occasion of her daugh- ter's coming out, and. acting on the impulse of the hour, she wrote to the person, telling her that she could pro- vide her with everything handsome in the way of table service for a small consideration The woman accepted the offer at once, naming the sum which she was willing to pay. and guaranteeing to return everything un- injured.
 She hired the cut glass and silver. which was of unusual beauty. five times that season. and in the meantime the owner secured another patron, who was so we'll pleased that she induced several friends to follow her example. Ten dollars a night was charged for the loan, with the understanding that any injured article was to be replaced That winters hire sufficed to cover the owners expenses in a modest flat. During the succeeding spring she had the good fortune to exchange a small, upprofitable summer cottage for city property, ! which brought immediate returns in rent, but she still lets hel silver and linen and cut glass out oc- casionally to socially ambitious women whose small means do not permit ot l any great xpenditure.-Exchang

Slice after slice of the juicy meat fell away as though it were snow yielding to the breath Of early spring. Joints came apart as easily as a childs blockhouse is knocked down. MT. Grizzly began to puff and pant. 4 strange look of be- wilderment came into his eyes.
 The cranberry sauce came on the ta- ble. It was perfect. It did not, as had been expected, have the thickness and stringiness of glue. MT. Grizzly was breathing hard. And so it went on all through dinner, and when at last he failed to find a haiIpin and two or three marbles in the mince pie, he turned white as sheet and fell to the floor. Physicians were summoned and labor ed over him for hours. When he re- turned to consciousness he muttered:

Successor to Ping-Pong.

Of the several varieties of tennis which have followed in the wake of the triumphal march of ping pong the very latest and most popular is called "SpiropOlo." It is even becoming T rival in tickle public favor with its progenitor, tennis. It does not require so large a space for a good game, and when the weather conditions interfers with the ground condition for tennis or golf. "Spiropolo" is a very fine sub stitute.
 It is played by two players, one op either side of a tall pole, from which depends a tennis ball at the end of a lc1g string. the object of each player being to hit the ball with his tennis racquet SO as to wind the string around the pole.

He will work eight machines in four different places in the mine, and push the develop ment work as rapidly as possible Mir Ayling does not know when the company will commence work on the mines, but is of the opinion that the mines will be extensively developed before other improvements are under taken.

TORTURED RENEFAcTREss.

Robber Secured $2,OOO After Burn.
 ing Mrs. O'Rourke's Feet.
 CLEARFIELD, Pa, July 1.-The de tails of torturing robbery have reach ed Clearf1eld. While the husband of Mrs. Miles O'Rourke of Woodward township was absent a stranger called at the house and asked Mrs. O'Rourke for something to eat.
 She gave him some buns and was preparing some coffee at the stove when the man struck her on the back of the head, leaving her semiconscious. He then bound her in a chair and de- manded where the family kept its money. At first she refused to divulge the hiding place. The man lighted lamp and applied the flame to her feet. The pain caused her to point out the place where the money was hidden. The sum was a trifie over S2,00O.
 In his hurry to get away from the house the -obber dropped a part of the money, which Mrs. O'Rourke picked up and placed in the bosom of her dress. The man missed it and returned pre- pared to torture her further. A noise outside of the house frightened him, and he left hastily. The authorities have offered reward of $500 for infor- nation that will lead to the arrest of the thief
