OUR SHELTER SYSTEM
 AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

The old Copper Queen smelter with it's capacity of 7J0 tons day, turning out as it does n the neighhorhood of 10000 pounds of bullion, seems to be totally inadequate to handle the i'm mense store of mineral in sight on that property, as evidenced by the fact that the company is constructing a new plant in Douglas with an approx innate capacity of 1,500 tons, so arrang- ed that it's capacity can be doubled on short notice The situation with the Queen people is such that they must depend mainly on the Copper Queen at Bisbee to supply ore for the new plant.
 The Calumet and Arizona people have about completed improvements which double the capacity of their smelter, and will pull out 100000 pounds of bullion per day. This fact is of great significance as indicating the resources of the mines owned by those two companies in the Warren district It means that there must be ore bodies in sight in the Copper Queen properties greater than have ever been dreamed of by any one not on the inside of its operations. There is no railroad to NacOzaTi, the Indiana Sonora is undeveloped, the company s properties at Morenci are worked on the concentrator plan. their United Globe mine Is comparatively idle. So We are driven 70 the conclusion that their Bisbee mines must supply the colossal smelter with ore. If the Cal umet people were not opening uI greater ore bodies every day they would not add to their shelter facili ties as they are doing. All of these facts justify US in the belief that oul estimate of the copper resources ot this camp have not been overdrawn but on the contrary have been con stantly underestimated, and that the Bisbee field notwithstanding it's won dertul record as a producer, is stiE in Rs infancy.

FROM AWAY DOWN
 IN SONORA. MEXICO

J. A Stevens, who has just return cd from Sonora, tells us something about that country and the numerous
 Arizona men who are chasing the god
 dess of fortune through it's rugged hills. Most of his time was spent in
 and around Soyopa, about 300 miles
 south of Bisbee on the Yaqui river.
 which he says is rushing proposition at that point
 Soyopa is 8 town Of about 500. all Mexicans. The principal property is
 the Margarite, managed and largely owned by Mr. Leonard, who was in
 Bisbee not long ago on business con nected with his camp: The property is rich in silver and copper and carries some gold. Jay Hamilton, well known i in Globe, has figured extensively ir the history of the camp.
 NIT. Stevens describes Chirpas as 2
 rather remarkable property. It re gently went to Colorado parties, the
 original Mexican locators retaining 90
 per cent of the stock. It is 2 gold ledge approximately 75 feet wide and
 numerous assays give values ranging from ten to forty dollars. Cienguita is described as a very active camp, owned and operated by New York par | ties.

 was seen a bell weighing roo pounds
 composed of about equal parts of cop per and silver.

MININo INTERVIEWS
 WITH ROCK hoNeERS

Frank Dudley, than whom no man is better known in Arizona mining circles, came up from his Sonora prop ertfes by way of Douglas last Thurs day. Frank understands rock as thor oughly as a pickaninny understands a water melon, and prenounces northern Sonora a wonderful field, but added that he did not consider that, news. as the country was full of American prospectoTs.
 Their property Is known as the Co chise. which shows that the promoters have not forgotten their Arizona afili- ations IL embraces 200 pertenencias and is situated about twenty-five miles west of Cos.
 They have done considerable ship ping, but are now planning to put in a pump and bOisting plant, to be fol lowed up by reduction works as soon as the necessary development has been done.

OLD CRIPPLE AT IT AGAIN

Word has been received from Grip, pie Creek, Colo, that a sensational surface strike has been made near the crest of the west spur of Bull hill, on a block Of ground which is being worked by Berry & Coogan, on the Silver Tip. The property is a frac. tional claim, which was located in the early history of the camp by Paddy Britt. He worked the ground for a number Of years and obtained assays running away in the thousands, but never could locate the ore shoot from which 1t came, although it was not more than a stones throw from his cabin.
 The lssses are now down only about eight feet and are not yet into sofia formation. All that is being taken out of the shallow shaft is highly oxi- diZed and nuggets of gold are being hoisted in every bucketful which is be ing raised. 4 man who investigated the proposition said that he believed that $500 worth of nuggets had been given away by the Iessees in the past few days.
 The Silver Tip adioins the New Zea- land and Hannah Britt, as well as the Gro;to. The Hoosier is the big mine in that locality, but from present fndi- cations it looks as though the Silver Tip would turn out to be a bigger bo- nanza- The controlling interest in the stock in the Silver Tip is owned by the United Mines company, owned by the Woods investment company.

CALUMET & sIsBEE
 AND ITS PROGRESS

The little smokestack on the hoist of the Calumet and Bisbee, is sending up it's slender column of smoke to mingle in the heavens with the black volumes from @ hundred older ones in this locality. This little sister may some day grow to become one of the joint Ieigning queens Of Cochise coun- y, as a matter of fact, it is almost sure ;o. The gallows frame was fin ished last Thursday, and the work is new being prosecuted on a standard system. Coming by the camp yester- day in company with another tenderfoot, the Review man was asked if they had struck ore yet On being informed
 that they did not expect any til they had attained a depth Of 500 feet or
 more, he nearly fell over. He was a surface miner from California, and had been in the habit of digging out ore with a butcher knife, very much as We used to grub new potatoes, and
 the idea of going down through hard rock for thousand feet before expect ! ing any results was too much for him : He said Jhe smoke around Bisbee
 hurt his only remaining lung any way and he was going to take the next train back to 'Californy."

Lynchings in the Laws Delay.

Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court recently declared that delay in the enforcement of law in criminal cases is responsible for many of the lyncAings that take place Jus tice travels with leaden heel, and this leads thoughtless people. who are unduly agitated by shocking crime, to become judge, jury and sheriff themselves, although the act is in it's effect worse than the crime. It is an archical, brutalizing and demoralizing in the extreme, teaching boys to hold the law in contempt.
 Alabama has turned over a new leaf in this respect. Hereafter there need be no delay in the machinery of the law in fragrant case. Hereafter any circuit judge can by an entry on the minutes of the court convene special

lightning he was standing on the steps of the coach, holding the brass railing with both hands, preparing to give the signal for the train to start on It's jour ney down the Peak. The passengers were all aboard and everything was in read mess for the downward start.
 Suddenly there was a blinding flash and deafening crash of thunder. A blue streak of forked lightning shot across the peak on its way from one cloud te another. En route it encountered the form of Bruer. and his body formed the circuit which shot the bolt into the top of Pike's Peak. After tI el passengers had recovered from their momentary fright they saw the insensible form of Bruer lying on the ground.
 They hastened to him to pick him up, as they supposed dead when to their utter astonishment he sat upright and looked bewilderingly about him. To inquiries he replied that he was not hurt "oniy stunned" but one man discovered that the fleece underwear was burning. The fire was extinguished and the Navajo blanket borrowed. The clothing which had been torn by electricity was picked up and brought to Mantou.

Neuotiations at TokiO.

A deep interest is taken in all coun- tries over the tension in the Far East. And yet 1t is known that neither Japan nor Russia desires war. Such a war would be very expensive to Russia, whose finances are already over strained by vast works of internal inn provement. Japan, too is not strong financially, and war with Russia would be a war that would imperil her existence as a powerful nation. No such war would be lightly undertaken. No popular impulse can carry Japan into a desperate war.
 Tn July last Russia had but forty three vessels all told in Chinese waters, and Japan can muster nearly twice that number. It Is scarcely probable that Russia is ready to meet Japan at sea, and she must be able to meet Japan at sea If she expects to land any men in Japan. Japan is doubtless safe enough, and so are the Russians at Port Arthur.
 But who shall hold Corea? That Is the real question. There Japan must meet Russia if war be declared Rus sia can march troops into Corea with out fighting sea battle, and Japan is probably strong enough in ships to land troops in Corea The control of Corea is the issue, and it is much more to the point to watch the negotiations that are going on at TolIio relative to Corea than 1t is to read the reports sent out from European capitals.
 An immediate declaration of war is not probable, and a settlement of the entire issue at Tokio in an ironclad treaty is the really desirable and prob- able outcome of the problem. The at Tokio have not been broken off. They have not even been Upon them hangs the question of peace or war.

INTERVIEWING AS LITERATURE

From the New York Mail and Express
 As a matter of fact, all estimable lit- erature is but a form of elaboration of our American interview. Adams report is an example, but not a particularly fe- lictous paragraph in holy writ. If Homer tells the truth he is a star reporter We account Plato greater man than Socrates, whose extraordinary loquacity he embalmed. It is open to doubt whether have been perpetuated save through the interviews which Boswell set down. seeing that his dictionary is now nothing but literary dust. It is unquestionable that unless his several valets and marshals had recorded their luminous interviews and impressions we should never fully have known how exceedingly great was Napoleon Bonaparte.
 And in our own time we have seen how the American newspaper man has devel- oped the value of the personal note and interest in the interview; how Horace Greeley, from having written so much about other celebrities came to have so much written about himself; how George Alfred Townsend illuminated the char acters of his political contemporaries; how John Russell Young did the same and gave us our most intimate glimpse of Grant
 A hundred able interviewers have per- formed biographical services of greater or less value. Thousands of them, in all civilized lands, are carrying on the good work today.

Antl.splttIna srdInance.

What has become of Birmingham s anti-sptting ordinance?" asked citizen. Has it been lost in the shuttle. or has it been found impracticable? Although I believe the measure is still in effect, I have never heard of any offenders being punished. However it has done some good, for splitting on sidewalks is not so general now as was the case before steps were taken to put an end to the nuis- ance.'
 Tt seems particularly hard to stop promiscuous splitting in our southern towns. We are race of spitters, any way. and tobacco chewing still has a firm hold on many southerners. Efforts have been made in other Alabama towns to inforce ordinances against splitting on sidewalks, but have never proven very effectual. It seems to me that 1t would be easier to punish offenders in a small town than in one larger, because there are not so many streets to watch and not so many people traversing them. How ever, the anti-spitting ordinance has not proven a very live issue in Birmingham, although, as I said before, it has proved better than nothing at all"

EVANGELIzING THE CITY.

From the New York Mail and Express.
 It is evident that New York is going to witness an attempt at a general revival of religion this year. The first special movement on the forces of evil is the Bowery. Next will come Dowie's as- sault, which may turn out to be notable. The Presbyterian church. which is a strong and vigilant religious body in this city, has already inaugurated a general evangelical movement that may last. in itself and in it's seques, all winter. Other bodies are contemplating much evangel- istic work
 There is no plainly evident occasion for this special religious activity. though there is plenty of room for it. We notice that a Presbyterian clergyman yesterday made the alarming statement that New York is "sodden with sin," and that "the church must evangelize or perish" It Is unlikely that New York is any more sod den with sin than 1t has always been; and 1t may be asked by the scorner, if the church has become so near dead that it needs revival to restore it, what 1t has been doing all these months and years of apparent activity.
 Speaking abstraetly, neither the churo as an organization, nor sthe faith of or dinary men, should have fallen into such a state of decline as to require a revival. Yet it is evident that the spiritual na- ture of men does need the spur of emotion at times. Moreover the growth of the city is so great, the human flood that pours into it so incessant, that the churches can not extend their normal influence over it without periods of un- usual activity and widened effort.
 Whether it is "sodden' or not, the city will be the better for the campaigns of evangeization that is to be waged.

DON'T STRIKE THE cHlLDREN.p

From the New York World.
 There is a threat that because a few non-union laborers are employed by con- tractors work may be stopped on the seventeen public schools now in process of erection in Brooklyn and Queens Bor- oughs. The walking delegates of various building trades declare in effect that since it has been said that public opinion will not stand for interference with the schools 1t is "up to" them to show their power by ordering a strike. They proclaim it as a sort of virtuous act of forbearance that hitherto they have kept their hands off the Brooklyn schols.
 Building trades strike promoters are already under public censure for the delay caused in the construction of schools in Manhattan and the Bronx. With S7 ,00O children on half-time instruction. largely through the strikes 1t would seem that they should hesitate to add to their bur- den of fault and odium by carrying into other boroughs their defiance of the popu- lar plea' Don't strike the children"

From the Chicago News.
 Queen Wilhelmina and the Sultan of Turkey have the credit of being the only reigning monarchs at the present time who are teetotalers The Sultan. in spite of all his faults, is a strict fol- lower of Mahomet, and his religion for bids him to partake of alcoholic drinks. Queen Wilhelmina, on the other hand, is a teetotaler from conviction, and with characteristic energy she tries to induce others to follow her example Her inti- mate friend, Princess Pauline of Wurtem- berg, IS said to have done so; and if others of equally exalted rank are not persuaded by the Queen to become work CTS in the cause of temperance, it will not be her majesty's fault.
