Avoid Haste in Judging Ore.

Miners who have learned their craft in q single district usually have as much to learn when going into a diff ferent state or district remote from their former home. The rocks may be different, the ores different. the charac- ter of the mines very different, and nec- essarily the methods of working also different. In some district the most or dinary looking stone is valuable ore. yet the same appearing rock in an other district may be valueless. As ex- amples of this fact, remarks the Mining and Scientific Press some of the rich gold rock found in the Randsburg Cal, district would not be given any atten- ton in northern California. In Calico, Cal, ordinary looking sandstone, jas per or spotted rhyOlite, showing no in- dication of value to the inexperienced eye, carry payable and occasionally high values in silver chloride. In Law- renee county, South Dakota, chert, such as may be seen commonly in limestone, is in some instances rich in gold, and white friable Quartzite is rich in sil- yer. One cannot afford to pass nasty judgment on rocks; their appearance may prove deceptive.

FORTUNE IN TEA LEAVES
How to Find Your Luck or. Misfortu c
 in the Cup That Cheers.

First. the one whose fortune is to be told should drink a little tea while it is hot. and then pour away the rest, being careful not to turn out the grounds in doing so. and also not to look at them, as that would be bad luck.
 Then she must turn the cup over so that no water remains, for drops of water in the tea grounds signify tears. r. Next, she must turn the cup around slowly toward her three times, wishing the wish of her heart as she turns it.
 After this she must rest it a minute against the edge of a saucer-to court luck
 Then the fortune may be read. Three small dots in a row stand for the wish. If near the top of the cup it will soon be realized. If at the bottom some time will elapse or it will never come true.
 If the grounds are punched together it signifies that all will be we'll with the fortune seeker but if they are scatter ed it means the reverse. A small speck near the top is a letter A large speck present of some kind. The sticks are people with whom one
 will soon be brought in contact-light or dark, short or tall, according to the color and length of the sticks, A small

The Copper Market.

As predicted in these columns some weeks ago, remarks the Mining and Scientific Press of this week. copper has not only reached 13 cents per pound, but has passed that point. sales having been made in New York the past week.
 at 1875. and it is now safe to predict II cent copper within q reasonably
 short time as there is nothing in eitf- CT the market, the present production of the metal, the stock on hand or the wants of consumers to anticipate low CT prices, for, in fact. a consideration of all these conditions plainly suggests the probability Of higher prices. The rising price of the metal stimulates production, of course, but most of the large producers that can make profit al present prices are in operation. as well as some that are operating at q small loss. The range in price since 1898 has been notable, though being on an average about F to 13 cents. The lowest price within the period mention cd was Il cents, obtaining in February. 1888 and the highest. 1912 cents. in April 1899; but the fairly high price thu oughout this time has proven q < ment and equipment of copper proper ties, and nc period in mining history has seen so many and such large un- certakings inaugurated as within ilie me ntioned was II cents, obtaining in February, 1898, and the highest, 191s cents, in April 1899: but the fairly high price throughout this time has proven :, great stimulus to the active develov = n1ent and equipment of copper prope-
 ties, and no period in mining history has seen so many and such large un- dertakings inaugurated as within tlIc period named. The wide range in price during the years mentioned has been due partly to manipulation by large interests. and partly to the natural course of events in the markets. At the time of the organization of the Amalga> mated Association. April 29, 1900, with a capital of $15.G00,0 900. it was pointed out by the Mining and Scientific Press that this amount of capital was insuf- ficient to control the copper market of America. to say nothing of dictating
 the price for the world. There were too many large conflicting interests-a struggle to sell all the copper produced, anu iAo HAUL iieC tOdio Dc
 While much distrust seems to have been engendered among large sellers of copper by the failure of certain pro- ducers to report their production ac- cording to understanding or agreement
 or the suspicion that some others ren- dered a fictitious report, this seems to have been oveIshadowed by the actual operation of the laws of supply and de- mand, and under the stimulus of q heavy and continuous demand the market price is steadily advancing.

Mines and Minerals ef Arizona
Notes From the Bradshaw Mountains

Lee Thomas, Floyd Gibbons and Frank Gibbons, owners of the Conten- ton group of mines, near Del PaSco,
 Bradshaw mountains, have just finish cd the erection of a five stamp mill in Ash Basin. which mill is now running on ore from the Contention. says the Prescott Courier. The Contention is the first south extension of the Old Re liable. and shows considerable devel- opment work and good bodies of ore. A tunnel G65 feet in dength. on the vein. cuts two chutes of ore. each about 109

Two Men Killed by SnowSlides ir
 Trinity County.

Bedding. Cal. March 12.-An inn mense snow slide occurred yesterday on the Lagrange hydraulic ditch in Trinity county. Con Mclaughlin, a ditch tender. was swept down in the mighty rush of snow and killed.
 Today while rescuers were at work looking for his body another big slide came down and Henry Gentry was killed. All of the men have been call ed off the ditch as slides are occurring right along. and there is great danger The slide is over mile in length and fifty feet deep.

feet in length, said ore averaging IS inches in width and at least $25 free gold ner ton There is raise from the tunnel level to the surface, distance Inf ,55 feet. A winZe from the tunnel, to feet deep. shows % inches of good mill ing ore in the bottom. The ore chutas can be tapped 900 feet deeper than the present tunnel by means of another tun- mel run from gulch level. such tunnel beirg also on the vein. Thus it will be seen that the mine can be worked to depth of over 45O feet without the use of hoisting machinery or pumps. The owners have enough ore on the dump and in sight in the mine to keep the lit tie mill running for many a day. The erection of the mill, and the mining ami milling of the ore, road building and all other work connected with the enter prise was and is done by the three own- CTS, who deserve much credit for their energy and business-like methods. This is legitimate mining, the kind that develops our resources without depict ing the resources of anyone.
 Bowman Brothers are working sever al men on their Rainbow group. near the Gladiator. in Peck district.
 Johnson, Mcclellan and Berry are running a drift on their claim near the Mohawk, to strike chute Of ore which crops big at the surface and which car ries very good values. They expect to strike the ore chute when in 80 feet.
 At Crowned King, preparatory work is being done looking to the erection of plant to work the tailings from the mill. The new plant will have capac- ity Of 60 tons per day, and will save the zinc as well as gold contents of the tailings.

Mortgage Taxation.

Taxation in general is dwelt upon at
length. To the well directed admin
istration of the law creating the Office
of supervisor Of assessment and the
diligence of these county officials in
the field, may be largely attributed the
marked advance made, both in the
unifoi nifty and in the more complete
assessment of the property of individu-
ais and private corporations taxable
under the law, says the governor.
Since the public interest was first
aroused upon this subject, and tn ough
the effective direction of the assessors
by the tax commission and by super
visors of assessment, there has been
added to the tax roll more than $50.
100000 of intangible property in the
form of notes, bonds, mo: tgages, and
other credits. Whatever difference of
opinion may prevail with respect to the
possibility Of placing all intangible
property upon the assessment ron and
of continuing it upon the roll to be
taxed against the individual owner. it
cannot be disputed that mucn at least
has been accomplished for the time
being.
With the rapid accumulation Of
wealth, the increase in the amount and
value of intangible property but
; strengthens year by year the reason
and justice of it's taxation in some
form. That vast accumulations Of
