IN THE MINING FIELD
COPPER QUEEN WILL WORK HEN
 DRlCKS CLAIM.

A very important move by the Cop per Queen Mining company is the re- sumption of work on the Hendricks claim. adjoining the Twilight claim of the Higgins. This is the location of the famous Northwest stope and ad- jacent to the famous rich Open Gu. which was among the first opera tons by the Copper Queen. It was abandoned years ago and attention was devoted by the Copper Queen to its other workings. But the com pany has just finished a good road to the location anl during the next fort night an amount of heavy machinery will be hauled up to the old work ings. It is the intention of the Cop per Queen to explore the Hendricks and adoining claims thoroughly to the boundary of the Higgins property.
 PROGRESS AT HIGGINS PROPERTY
 The shaft at the Higgins is going down at the rate of four or five feet a day, and is now 16O feet deep. The hoist has 10x14 inch duplex cylinders and is capable of sinking to a depth of 1900 to 2000 feet. The Sullivan air compressor has a capacity to run six drills. The shaft continues in formation of decomposed hemaute iron and lime which is the most favor able indication to be desired, aside form the copper ore itself.
 A short distance above the collar of the shaft is the old Lower Higgins tunnel. which was driven by Tom Higgins for distance of roo feet and has a showing much similar to that opened in the shaft-a decomposed hemarite ore.
 At apoint 200 feet above the col lar Of the shaft is the old Upper Hig- gins tunnel, in which occurs the rlcn ore deposit so often mentioned. Thls tunnel is in 300 feet. At point l5o feet from the portal there is con yergence of three or four Assures, and there a branch from the main tunnel has been driven a considerable distance. At this juncture there is natural rift. like narrow cave, Tn the Assure vein. A rock dropped into this cave can be heard falling away for a distance calculated at from 40 to sO rect. It is at this spot that the rich copper values are found and winze has been started adjacent to the cave
 The three points of operation, one in the shaft. one in the drift in the I, lower tunnel and one in the winze Ia | the upper tunnel. will carry the devel- opment rapidly forward. Machlne drills are used in two places a. present.

THE GlRLLESS TELEPHONE.
Automatic Device Which

An invention which promises to do
away with much profanity, expressed
or implied, and any quantity of vexa-
ton is now being tried on a large scale
in Chicago, says Harper's Weekly. 1t
is already satisfactorily at work In a
dozen cities with a population of 25,-
600 and over, and its promoters are
certain of its complete success In the.
largest cities. 1t is the automatic, Use

ean of the automatic switchboard
the telephone girls at the central sta
tons are absolutely done away with.
When a number is wanted, you simply
turn a small dial like that which oper-
ates the combination of a vault to the
numerals which make up the required.
number in their consecutive order.
Then you press a button which rings
the call bell on the other telephone, and
the connection is complete.
The whole operation Is automatic and
almost instantaneous. No one cam

Though more than one telephone com-
pany in a city is a nuisance, the adop-
ton of an automatic switchboard would
certainly go far toward remedying.

tenn. The Chicago company has already
spent several millions of dollars in tho
building of tunnels for its wires and
will have 10000 telephones in opera

The republican executive committee
of Martinsburg has in contemplation
a proposition to submit to the execu'
tive committee of the democrats or
g~anization of the city. which embod-
les some unusual features, ard which
is worthy of the earnest and careful
attention of the and voters
of both parties.
The proposition, which as vet is IN
a tentative condition, embraces the
idea of the two parties getting to-
gether on the coming municipal cam
paign. and each side nominating two
candidates for council and determin-
ing the fifth nomination by toss. This
would give one party two councilman
and the other three. The idea is TO
then place the five names on one city
ticket for ratification by the voters at
the election to follow.
AS yet no definite action has been tax
EN- by the gentlemen of either commit
tee, the project having been merely adj
vanced by the republican managers
and discussed informally by the dem
ocratic committeeman. The idea has
found some support among members OF
both parties. the argument being that
it will tend to place good men in the
council without going through a bit
ter and expensive municipal campaign.
AS the city of Martinsburg will be max.
ing some extensive improv 9ments, in
which vast sums of money will be in.
volved, during the period when the
next council will be IN charge of the
city government. it is of the verv
highest Importance that the best avail.
able men be selected, without regard
to party affiliations. ANY project
which has for it's end the advancement
of the interest of the city should re
ceive the earnest consideration Of th'
party managers and voters of boil
sides.

The visit of the German ~agrieultur-
alists to Berkeley county, which will
occur on the 9th of May, will be an
event of no small importance to the
farming sections of this county. The
presence of such distinguished visitors,
and the object of their visit. will serve
to focus attention upon this section OF
the State in a manner that is fatter-
ing. to say the least. AS an advertise
ment of the fruit and farm belts, the
visit will be Of great indirect benefit.
AS this will be the only point in West
Virginia at which the distinguished
marty will stop, it will naturally be
conceded that Berkeley county possess
es some advantages over the rest of
the State in the way of fruit and farms
to show. AS the party's visit to this
county is not "A mere pleasure trip, but
designed TO form the basis of a report
to the homo government of conditions
as they exist here and as they are
planning to visit only those points OF
real interest. the people OF this coun-
ty NAV congratulate themselves on

Professor Generoso Pavese of Balti-

Roosevelt to give him fencing lessons
upon his return from the western tour.

Pavese the other day. "He has the

purpose OF Mr.. Roosevelt to have mem
bers OF his family take up fencing with
him, and if he should succeed will do
everything in my power to make them,
all proficient fencers."
Professor Pavese has ordered from
Italy a pair of fine fencing foifs. They.
with o mask and gloves, are to cost
$500 in Italy. The blades are to be OF
polished steel, engraved and chased
with gold. The guards are~to be solid

ton telling that they are the fencing

handsome for use and are intended to-
be ornamental. Professor Pavese Is

THE COST WILL BE ENORMOUS
v. Road.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company will order from 100 to 100
new locomotives tor delivery daring
1904. These additions will represent
an outlay of from 81, 800, 900 to 50. 300.-
900. When it is recalled that the Bal
timore and Ohio has spent in the last
two wears, including the locomotives
now under construction, close on to
So. 000, 900 for motive power the growth
of the traffic and the liberal efforts be
ing made to take care of it are evident.
Locomotive plants are unable to
keep up with the demand for engines.
aud they all have orders running a
year or more ahead. Deliveries are
now being made to the Baltimore and
Ohio of locomotives ordered last year
and promised 60 davs ago. AS fast as
they are received thew are put into
service, and, as these engines are OF
the most powerful type in use on this
railroad, the effect of c arrival up
on the movement of traffic is Dercepti-
BILE. The deliveries now being made
are ON a lot of 200 locomotives. 1t will
be sometime in the fall when they are
all received, and by that time the
danger of a recurrence of the freight
blockade felt last winter will, it is
thought be entirely removed. The
contracts have not been given as yet
for the locomotives to be delivered
during 1904, nor has the exact number
been settled upon, but the order will
range from 100 to $50.
The company is now yerv short OF
locomotives, having returned those
borrowed from the Western Maryland
to that company. where they have
been required bv the service. For
some weeks past the b. q o. people
have been reducing the number of
cars per train eastward, running from
25 to 30 per train. instead of from 40
to SO. as was the case heretofore. This
was done in order to get additional
engines on this part of the road to
move the empties back west. where
there has been a tremendous demand
for cars. The or der for the new en-
cines is the result of the more or less
congested condition of freight traffic
on the b. q o.
