better class of officials.

MINING NEWS.

Citizen Douglas Gray, who has
visited Tucson several times on
business for the Ell Paso smelteri
has concluded terms with the
Tombstone Consolidated, whereby
the FL Paso Smelling Company
comes into possession OF the Lucky
Cuss dump, to the amount OF 10000
tons. The ores from this dumps is
going out now.
Gazette: Superintendent of the
Dragon Copper Mining Co., has
been visiting in Tombstone. While
there, he stated that the develop
ment of the company property is
most hattering At depth of 465
feet in the shaft some rich ore was
encountered and samples of the
same show the ore to be excep-
tionally rich in the red metal. The
find has not been opened as yet
but promises to be one OF consider
able extent.
Copper Era: A new strike has
been made by the Shannon Copper
Company, which promises to be one
of the most important and extern
sive discoveries in this district.
The strike was made on the North
ern Point claim in the neighbor
hood of Metcalf, being the claim
recently purchased from the A. c.
company. Considerable develop
ment work had been done on the
claim. The new strike was made
while the company was running a
tunnel from below to cut the main
ledge at a considerable depth.
When the ore body was struck the
company commenced drifting and
continued to do so ever since.
They have now drifted thirty-five
feet in the ore which averages be-
tween seven and eight per cent
copper, The Nhthern Point claim
will no doubt bSa heavy producer
for the Shannon Copper company
in the future.
Gazette. B. F. Graham, presi-
dent of the FL Tigre mine in south
ern Arizona says that within ninety
days the shipment OF ore would
begin and would be kept
up until a reduction plant is
built at the property. A large
force OF men is now at work de-
veloping the ore bodies and con-
Meeting the shaft by tunnels.
There is now on the dump between
five and six thousand tons of high
grade ore, which will be shipped.
As soon as the present develop
ment work is finished the work OF
taking out ore will begin. Mr.
Graham says that he is making
arrangements to handle over fifty
tons of ore a day. The returns Of
the last shipment of ore were Just
received by Mr.. Graham and they
were very satisfactory. Two cars
of ore was sent to the reduction
works, each car containing forty
one tons of ore averaging $4,000 a
ton.

Gum Chewing and Luuacy.

Who would have thought that doc
tors would countenance the practice OF
gum chewing? Yet here is the news
from st. Paul that the Minnesota State
board of control includes chewing gum
in the list of supplies for insane asy-
lums, as it's use is often found to have
an excellent effect upon patients,
soothing them during violent spells,
and enabling them to concentrate their
minds upon various forms of work.
Doubtless it is the muscular, not the
secretory, activity that produces the
beneficial result The secretory activ-
ity may deplete the salivary glands,
and thus prove prejudicial to digestion.
Insane people are nervous, and almost
every one inclined to nervousness has
discovered that there are forms of
fdgeting which enable him to relieve
the tension upon his nerves and help
him to concentrate his attention.
Many lawyer and many an orator
would be at loss in speaking if he
could not twiddle his watch chain or
twirl his eyeglasses. Many travel
ing man and many a politician would
lose his reputation for ease of manner
in conversation if deprived of the cigar
which he gratefully puffs in the inter-
walls OF his talk. And the fan! What
mistress of coquetry would be willing
to surrender her fan?
But while the gum chewing may re-
lieve the fidgets in the case of those
who do the chewing. the sight of it is
likely to give the fidgets to other peo-

bought gold brick They saw they
must have blundered, but wondered
how.
"Just come this way, and I'll show
you," said the officer.
On the barrel Of a huge gun which,
with it's prim partner, projected far
out of the after turret, sat sailor
astride. He was as far back from the
muZzle as he could get, and was so in
tent on loading a small rifle that he did
not notice he was being watched The
rifle was supported by two steel up
rights, bound fast to the cannon. 1t
looked like any shooting gallery rifle
wire hung from it's trigger. The wire
ran into the turret.
Just above the guns muzzle hung a
miniature target, on the face of which
were nine black squares at regular
distances one from another. At first
glance they looked like tiny checker
board. Each black square was Z inch
by 8 inch in size.
"You see those black spots up there"
said the officer "Well, each one of
them is a target. We put up nine all
at once, SO we don't have to stop after
each shot and put up new mark.
Now, you notice that the collection of
targets is by no means stationary. It
hangs from the end Of boom, which
one set Of ropes makes roll up and
down to initiate the roll Of a ship, and
which another pulley swings sideways
in place Of the longitudinal motion Of
the ship as it speeds on its course"
At this moment there was puff of
smoke from the toy rife. 1t was the
same sort of pop they had heard be-
fore. At the same instant the sailor
astride the cannon elected an empty
shell and thrust fresh cartridge into
its place. Then the Westerner, who
had finished studying the target
through some heavy spectacles, ex-
claimed:
Say, but don't see where the bullet

toy rife, which is made fast to the
cannon, is called a Morris tube. Its
barrel is exactly parallel with that Of
the thirteen-inch gun. It's muzzle is
twenty-nine feet away from the tar
get, which is so small that it is no
easier to hit it with this .22-calibre gun
