"Yes. ma'am." said the young woman who sometimes gave readings, "I shall be glad to entertain your guests on the date you suggest. My terms for an evening are $25."
 My, dear young lady, said Mrs Spudlong. with naughty smile, there is never any question of compensation when anybody appears at my house in the character of an entertainer. It es- tablishes ones standing. and the honor of so appearing is a sufficient remuner- ation."
 T beg your pardon. Mrs. Spudlong, for not thinking of that" rejoined the other. Tt is a privilege: indeed, to be asked to read at your home, where only the best people ever come. can read fly see how it gives one entree into good society and that this is worth more than mere money. am therefore deeply sensible of the honor you confer in asking q comparatively unknown but ambitious person like me to appear in your parlors as public entertainer but my price.

 Copper Glance.
 Nothing is being done at this prop erty. owing 10 the fact that the two large pumps that were only recently installed could not control the water. The mine is above $50 feet deep, and there is now fifty feet of water in th. shaft. It is the intention of the com pany, before trying further to han dle the water, to prospect with dia- mond drills, which have been ordereu and are now on the way. The officers of the company, who are all practical miners, and who hold positions of trust in the Copper Queen mine, are positive that they have a mine in the Copper Glance. and that this would have been demonstrated before now had it not been for the strike of so much water.
 Marquette & Arizona.
 Work upon this property goes stead fly on, and at depth of $50 feet shows good indications of striking the ore body. They have gotten through the long distance of hard conglomerate, anG are now in black lime. This is the same class of rock that was en- countered in the Calumet and Arizona mine before the rich body of sulphides was encountered. A Torce of sey- enteen men, under the superintendency of James Henderson, one of the best doing good work. 4 shaft is being sunk on the Humboldt mine, which also belongs to the Marquette, and at a depth of 30 feet quite a rich streak of ore has been encountered. It is probable that Do further sinking will be done here, but that the seam will be cross-cutted and that a good deal of drifting will be done. Owing to the appearance of water in the Mar quette, President Emil Marks has al ready taken steps 10 be prepared for it if it comes in quantities sufficient tQ he troublesome

Huachuca Development Go.

Superintendent Parmlee is in from the Huachucas. He says that worh on the property of the Huachuca De velopment company is going steadily on, and that large qualities of rich. ore is being taken out and sorted for the new twenty stamp mill which is to bt erected at the mine after the first 0l the year, the same having been order ed.
 Junction Development Go.
 Work on the main two compartment shaft of this property is going on as expeditiously as possible. The dia- mond drill is still being used in diner ent parts of the Junction property. Just what has been uncovered or dis covered on this property it is hard to tell, as the management are very care ful about what they nave to say. The fact, however. that they are adding new machinery and are pushing work faster than ever, leads an outsider to believe that the result Of the work being done by the diamond drills are very satisfactory.
 White Tail Deer.
 The lessees of this property are sinking steadily and are taking out and piling up tons and tons of ore for shipment to the shelter. There has already been shipped in the past some s300,000 worth of ore from this mine, and it seems as though the pres ent lessees would all become rich men, judging from the character of ore that they are taking out.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-12-06
Calumet and Arizona.

There is nothing new to report from this property this week. except the fact that new ore bodies are being con stantly blocked out. The ore trains from this mine are running steadily to the shelter at Douglas. If necessa. " several more furnaces could be kept running without trouble. Su- perintendent Merrill is still in charge of the property, and is getting every thing ready to turn over to his sue cessor. MT. Parnell.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-12-06
Higgins Development Co.

There is nothing particularly new to report in the condition of this prop erty this week. The work of sinking on the incline is progressing rapidly. A little more water is being encoun- tered, but not enough to interfere with the work. Rich punches of ore are being encountered at intervals as depth is attained. anu everything points to the uncovering of a large body of ore at most any time. Every thing is being put in shape by MT Parnell, the superintendent, to turn over 10 his successor, so that there will be no stoppage of the work of de- velopment when the new superintend- ent takes charge.

A new 12x14 engine and three boilers have been installed aud every thing is working Ike clock work. The ground is now getting softer and a lit tie water is being encountered This Mir. Hunt and MT. Roberts, who are in cnarge at the mine, say indicate every thing most favorable. They have no ore in the bottom of the shaft at pres ent, but expect to encounter it most any day.
 Mountain View.
 This is a local company that mas been working upon their property with six men, steadily since last October They have been running a tunnel and are now in ore that goes well in silver, a small amount in gold. and a small per cent in copper. The company has necessarily been compelled to do a good deal of assessment work in the last month or six weeks. This work is now finished, and in he future de velopment work will continue steadi- ly. It is expected that the present ore body will be increased as work is pushed, and the officers of the com. pany are feeling very jubilant over present and future prospects.
 Arizona and West Lake.
 While there has not been a grea, amount ot work done on this property shaft 45 feet deep. representing the amount of work, yet -- shows up bet ter than many other properties in this district. Assays made Thursday from a leoge of ore in the bottom of the shaft go s15.5O in gold and silver, with trace Of copper, and assays of gold gong slo.50. It is a free milling proposition, and the directors of the company feel highly elated over their prospects.

The assessment work has just been completed on the Brophy Group, which are situated between the Copper Glance and the Marquette. When the work was completed it left quite wide seam of copper ore in the bot tom of the shaft. After the first of the year. a force of men will in all probability be put to work following the seam. to see what it develops into

Merrill-Bell Group.

About one mile from the Portage Lake mine is situated the Merrill-Bell Group. upon which a single compart- ment shaft, well timbered, is being sunk. It has now reached depth or sixty feet, and while at this depth there is no indications Of ore, the own CTS feel sure that when they obtain depth they will surely encounter the same ore body that has been found in the Calumet and Pittsburg.

The several shafts On this great property are still going down deeper into the bowels of the earth every min ute of the twenty-Iour of the day. Be- sides this is the drifting that is going on. All of the shafts are connected and there is now no less than one hun dred ana fifty miles of underground work on this property, all of which is in perfect condition. The new rail- road to the Spray shaft is of great value to the better working of the mine and for convenience in shipping ore. A freight yard with seven tracks for the accommodation of freight cars is being built. This will relieve the present congestion, and will insure clean tracks when the shipments of ore begin to the new smelter al Doug

Calumet ard Cochise.

This property, under the able man ageme1- Of Scott Turner, is going ahead rapidly. A depth of from five 10 eight feet a day is being obtained. The bottom of the shaft is now in black lime, which indicates that the large ore bodies of the Pittsburg and Arizona and Calumet and Arizona are not very far from reach. The company is equipped with all Of the latest i'm proved machinery, and every foot of the shaft is being timbered. Miners working in the mine are quietly buy ing up stock as they believe from all indications and formation that any day will see the uncovering of large body Of ore.

The Word "Cnfe.p

It is really difficult 70 understand
how the word cafe" a French term,
has come into such general use in this
country and how 1t happens that 1t Is
so grossly misapplled. The term
means coffee or place where coffee
Is sold, and what relation there is be
tween coffee shop and place where
liquors are sold we are at a loss to
know. II is not improbable that the
idea comes from combinations Of bar
rooms and restaurants, in the latter OF
which of course coffee Is sold but to
our mind nothing seems more absurd
or more emphatically marks the mod
ern disposition to follow blind custom
than sticking up on the window where
only beer. liquor and wines are sold
the word coffee" and that in a for
elgn language. Were It not that an
age of mlsnomer gives recognition to
this anomaly we would just as soon
the word meat" or dread" signalized
places where liquors are sold. Either
would have as much sense and logical
spplIcation as cafe Exchange.
