 Six 60-ton shipments have been made so far this month from the Standard mines and two more will be made dur ing the month. The lowest shipment averaged 22 per cent and the highes, 5l pec cent.
 While grading for a building on the shannon mine last week a large body of rich ore was uncovered which is now being further prospected. All that is necessary to strike ore around that section is to do a little prospecting.
 Pill Jenkins. who is largely inter- ested in the Home Copper company, was in Clifton this week and reports that while doing assessment work on the .Topsy mine, Superintendent John Molder uncovered large body of very rich copper ore.
 Ambrose Burke, the discover of the Antietam mine, and one of the best prospectors in the territory. was in this week from the Copper Plate group, owned by himself and P. F. Crowley. which are located in Copper mountd T district near Eagle river. MT. Burke expects that the property will soon pass into the hands of a company, with am pie means for the development; of the property.

 N. l.. Lewis, who owns the Irish mine, located up Chase creek, informs an Era reporter that the recent flood did considerable damage to his prop erty and workings. The mine is To- cated al point where the cloudburst took place. consequently the workings were filled to the surface with rocks and mud. The mine is copper propo- sition and was looking well. While the cid workings were completely buried, the flood uncovered a blind ledge q short distance from the old shaft. The ore assayed fourteen per cen copper. Not such bad luck after Ill!

GRaHAn'S MINERAL WEALTH
CopI)er Excitement Has Delayed De-
 velOpment of Gold Leads.

In early days Clifton was noted for its production of gold. Much placer gold was taken from the Frisco river. gold gulch and other streams, and also a considerable amount of gold was taken from quartz veins and saved by
 the old arrastra process, says the Cop per Era. A large number of arrastras were always grinding away, and for many years made good returns. When copper mining became profitable golG
 mining seemed to have dropped out in the district, and for many years little CT no gold of any kind has been pro sluceed, though it is known that many large gold leads exist here. which will average from $6 to $15 per ton, which is big in any country. Why some at tempt is not made to work these gold leads is a mystery. However, let one man make a success of gold mining in tln district, and in a few months many others will also make the at tempt. This brings to mind the fact that for the past year or more MeXi- can miner has made more or less reg ular trips to Clifton with coarse gold pounded out of quartz, and with gold amalgam. Recently he came in with two pounds of amalgam worth sever-l hundred dollars. He is very reticent, and will give no account of his find ex- cept to say that it is within forty miles of Clifton. and that he works the property alone. He states that he shipped three tons to Fl Paso which netted him S1.0oO per ton. He brings in specimens that are absolutely full of heavy gold. and would be worth many thousands per ton. He says he is now down only twenty-five feet. and

A FINE PROSPECT.

C.. M. Cummings is in town today from the Dragoon mountains, and is exhibiting some elegant silver lead ore, which comes from a group of nine claims in the vicinity of South Pass, and which F. N. Wolcott is part own .er. NY Cummings states that the shaft from which this ore came has been sunk to a depth of 125 feet. being continuously in ore during the first 112 feet, from which assays have been se- cured that gave 105 ounces silver and 30 per cent copper The mine is be- tween lime and porphyry. and devei- opment will be prosecuted by cross cutting from the present depth to the contact, where it is thought richer ore will be encountered.-Tomb tone Pros pector.

THE BARKEEPER's VIEW.

have read about the fellow
 With a spark of manly pride. Who never blamed it on the booze, Whatever might betide, And I've heard another story
 Of the weak degenerate elf Who always blamed it on the booze, And never on himself Although we may condemn him,
 Yet we must admire the chap Who has the moral courage
 To acknowledge his mishap. But we have no hope nor patience
 For the hypocrite and sham Who strives to blame the booze for
 wrongs Inherent in the man. Tn the wild, chaotic splendor
 Of a milk-and-water jag, If his ugly disposition
 Runs him up against a snag. He will thrash his wife and children. He will smash up all the delf. And blame the damage on the booze Instead of on himself he antes up a nickel
 In a quiet game of poke" Just to make it interesting
 And he quits the table broke. As his fellow members touch him" For the balance of his pelr, He will blame the whole proceedings On the booze and not himself. If he makes a business failure
 Where he should have made success, And the credit-mongers flag him With the signals of distress, As they flag his final dollar
 And inter him on the shelf, He'll attribute his misfortunes
 To the booze and not himself. And thus he'll go on booZing
 And blaming just the same, Until his life becomes a streak
 Of mingled booze and blame. And when the final summons comes That lands him on the shelf His friends will blame 1t on the booze Just as he did himself.

EXPLORING A NEW RIVER.

Another White Space on Congo Map
Being FILLED with Detail.
More than twenty years ago SAVIOR
gnan de BraZza carried a little steam
launch overland between the head
waters Of the large Ogowe river and
the upper part Of a river on the other
side of the divide, few miles away.
The natives called this stream the ALI
ma, and De Brazza believed 1t was q
tributary to the Congo and that he
might steam down the Alma to the
upper Congo far above Stanley pool.
His experiment was a great success.
He descended the Alma about 400
miles and finally entered the Congo
where the great river ia several miles
in width. Then he floated down that
river to Stanley pool, says the New
York Sun.
Meanwhile, Stanley had been labor
iously ascending the Congo, dragging
his supplies around 235 miles Of
rapids; and when he reached Stanley
pool he was much surprised to find
the French flag floating on its north
ern bank. De Brazza had arrived be-
fore him and was founding the station
of Brazzaville. Ever since that day
a large white space has existed on
the map between the Alma and the
Congo. Explorers were too busy else
where to trace the rivers in the region.
At last the Pama river, supposed to be
the largest tributary of the Alma, has
been partly explored and a portion OF
the blank space an the mop has been
filed.
Captain Scheerlinck, agent of the
Commercial and Agricultural Society
of the Alma, has assembled it's Pams
tributary for a distance of abou
+. eighty miles. The upper part of tn,
river has also been explored, but NJ
one has visited the middle portion
The river is about 200 miles in length
and Captain Scherrlinck found tina
for a part of the way 1t flows through
a wooded region in which are numer
! GUS herds Of elephants and buffaloes
The country is not densely peopled
but there are number of large settle
ments on its banks, where white trad
. ing stations have been established.

in Mexico.
The men owned a small vessel, and
with it they assisted the slaves to get
away to the place of refuge. They fol-
lowed this practice for some years
and Walker had many narrowing ed
ventures during the time. He was
finally captured in July, 1914, and tried
before a court at Key West. He was
convicted of slave stealing, and the
judge sentenced him to pay a fine of
$4,000, suffer seven years in prison
stand in the pillory for one hour and
to have the letters 8. S. burned on
the palm of his right hand.
Walker paid the fine, stood in tbe

A Remedy for Snake Bite.

There Is q most remarkable account
Of the exploring trip Of an orchid hunt
er named Andre through an unknown
part of Venezuela, in Leslie's Monthly.
The party met with terrible hardship
and privation, and only about half Of
them got back to civilization. They
were in continual danger from snakes,
and the native remedies, the only ones
at hand, were severe ones. One day,
Mateo Ramirez, one Of the men walk
ing through the jungle, was bitten just
above the ankle by snake. Andre
suspected that the bite was not poison,
GUS, but Mateo was in mortal terror
and allowed his friends to subject him
to a remedy worse than the disease
Throwing him to the ground, they
wound a strong creeper around his
thigh until it cut into the flesh, ant
then burned the wound with a live
coal until the patient shrleked IL
agony. Chewed tobacco and crushed
garlic were afterward rubbed in, anC
the wound bound up. The snake Bit
waH cured, but the poor devil suffered
for many days from the remedy.
