FREE RECLINING CHAIR CARS.
The Henderson Route" Always First

The travelling public will be pleased
to learn OF the latest innovation in the
way of comfort IN travel for its patrons
most popular railroad, the Henderson
termed the g Kentuckian's Official
Route to the West and Southwest.
It has just been announced from the
general office of the Louisville, Hender-
son & ST. Louis Railway that they now
have in service on their night trains
between Louisville and st. Lonis, Free
Reclining Chair Cars, which have just
been received from the shops and are
revelation in the Car builders art.
The cars are strictly up-to-date, first
class ''palaces Of travel" on wheels, and
this is only one of the many surprises
which arc promised the public for the
Worlds Fair travel by the Henderson
Route.
Among other advantages offered in
these highly finished cars, few of the
most important points only are men
toned:
They are solldly vestibuled and are
furnished with sixty-four reclining
chairs. which are upholstered in beauti-
full green plush, in addition to smoking
and toilet rooms, the smoking rooms be-
ing finished throughout in leather.
They are also fitted up with triple
trucks, which feature will do away
with the j-rk, jar and strin incident to
travel in the ordinary railway coach,
and insures smooth. comfortable ride.
This should prove more than popular
feature in train service to the travelling
public, and you can only suggest that in
travelling you "get the Henderson
Route habit"

PRACTICAL FARM GATE.
1t Combines Strength and DurabtI-
lily with the Further Advantage
of Light Handling.

Good, durable, practical gates at
entrances to fields, lanes and lots, are
among the greatest conveniences on
the farm. Do not put up weak make
shifts. Make them strong and solid
and properly hung, so that it is pleas
ure to open and shut them. Not long
ago a neighbor lost valuable cow by
means of poor gate. In her effort to
reach green grass over the gate it
broke down, and her leg was broken.
She had to be killed, and as she was
only in fair milking condition, it was
total loss. If he had had strong, sub

Claddagh wedding Rings.

The Claddagh wedding rings are abb
solutely different from the ordinary
plain gold finger band which cynic
once declared to be ''the sign manual
of a mans impertinenCe and a wom-
ans folly" Those used by that pic
turesque colony, the Claddagh fisher
folk, are in the form of two clasped
hands holding a heart. 1t is quaint,
pretty and symbolical design, and, odd
ly enough, the very old specimens are
thought to be the most valuable.

THE ORC eLANco DISTRICT.
Its Importance Attracting Attention of Tucson and Nogales Business Men,

The rich Orc Blanco district has been attracting the attention of the business men of both Tucson and Nogales late- ly. A movement was started in No- gales two weeks ago looking to the construction of a good wagon road to Gro Blanco. and row Tucson is also proposing to have a road for the bene- fit of that town.
 Saturday afternoon at the confer ence held in the office of the board of supervisors were B. L. Worthen. rep resenting the chamber of commerce, Gene Began and Noa Bernard, who recently drove over the road to Orc Blanco W. s. Sturges and the board of supervisors, says the Tucson Citizen. The discussion covered the question of a good road, to Gro Blanco from Tue son as well as a shorter route than is at present taken to reach that dis trict in Santa Cruz county. It was practically decided that the board of supervisors would be financially sup ported by the merchants, the chamber of commerce to look after the interests of the people of Tucson who pay the bulk of the taxes in Pima county. The board is expected to vote a sum and the merchants to make up the balance required.
 The chamber of commerce will se cure the services of a competent civil engineer. a road contractor and freighter, men qualified to speak in- telligently in the matter after having investigated in a. trip from this city to Gro Blanco. The selection of the men who are to make a trip of obser- vation will be made at once.
 Messrs. Bernard and Began sug gested that in cutting off fifteen miles that the road be constructed so as to pass the Twin Buttes camp. the Atom do place on the Sopori and the Papa loda ranch.
 W. S. Sturges presented d plan which would take in the Palo Alto and the Posa. Buena ranches, Las Guipes and Arivaca. This was deemed inn practical in view of the fact that the distance would not be shortened and furthermore the most extensive min ing camps would be cut out if this route should be favorably considered. The main idea is to get to Orc Blanco by the shortest route and to keep in touch with the mining camps which promise much to Tucson in the near future.
 After the Orc Blanco route is taken care of the chamber of commerce will bring the Silver Bell road to the mo- tice of the board and as soon as possi- ble thereafter settle down to improve ing that route and also cutting to thirty miles or less in length, as has been frequently suggested through the columns of the Citizen. backed by statements made by Eerna be C. Erich ta and J. Knox Corbett that it is pos sible to reduce the distance between Tucson and Silver Bell fifteen miles,

THE EUREKA.
FIattering Reports Concerning Je.
 rome Party.

The Eureka mine near Jerome. is improving with depth, both as to quan- tity and quality of ore, according to the Jerome Mining News. The winze is now down little more than thirty feet, CT, at least, was that deep Thurs day noon last when d News representa- tive was at the mine. It has been demonstrated. at 9 depth of about ten feet down from top of winZe. that there is an eight foot ore body from there they have taken out only the softer or oxidized ores from the vein. leaving the sulphide ore body stand ing. This sulphide ore. which is the highest grade ore in the mine. has increased in volume until, at d depth of thirty feet it had a width of about two feet. making the winze so narrow at the bottom that they have been competed to start taking down the harder ore in order to get room to work in. There is now d twenty foot face of ore, but as to how much wider it is than eight feet is not known, and at this time it is not the intention to sink fifty feet deeper before cross-cutting the ore body.
 The Eureka has every indication of being a big property. and with it. it has been pay mine from the grass roots.

DOREADOR'S ESTATE
Insane Man Left Large Property in-
 terests in Bisbee.

Walter Doreder of Bisbee who died at the insane aylum Saturday, was a man of considerable prominence. The | Bisbee Review furnishes the following additional particulars concerning the unfortunate man from which it ap pears that somebody sees fat pickings in administering the estate left by the deceased:
 "B. J O'Reilly had been appointed guardian of Doreder and his property which is estimated to be of the value Of over S25.00O consisting of houses ! mostly, and situated on Chihuahua Hill, the Mexican quarter of the town. MT. O'Reilly has already completed the work required of him by the court oi appraising the property of Doreder, and will continue in the capacity to which he has been appointed until an | administrator has been named.
 +. B. Doreder, a brother of the de- | ceased. arrived in this city last week to look after the interests Of his de- mented brother. and finding that he had been committed to the asylum for the insane, at once repaired to Phoe- nix. He was ct the bedside of MT. Do reGer when he expired. He has since returned to this city with the inten-
 
 tration in the estate of his brother Postmaster G. J. McCabe is also an ap- plicant for the office of administrator. also T.. J. O'Reilly, who was first ap- pointed appraiser of the estate.
 Walter Doreder was native of Colorado. where he spent most of his time, coming to Bisbee about five years ago. Since that time he has been living example Of what thrift may do for q laborer. While at work in the mines of the Copper Queen company Doreder saved sufficient from his earn ings to permit of a few careful in Vestments in local real estate. From these investments DCreder gradually amassed a fortune which rivals that of many a more capable business man. It is said that when he struck Bisbee he was without the price of a meal. To day the DoreGer estate is represented by thirty-seven houses, all occupied and snug bank account in the Bank of Bisbee
 During his life in this city he not only amassed a fortune, but gained the respect of the community for his raightforward methods in business When his recent trouble came upon him it was thought by most of those who heard him rave that he had brooded so much about his wealth that he finally became insane on the sub ject. When haranSuing those who stCCd about him on the night when he broke away from his guard. he took great pleasure in telling them that he was one Of the biggest taxpayers in the city. Another subject which seem- ed to afford him most of his trouble was that of the murder of Milless, he claiming that because of his knowledge of the affair it was the desire of those interested in the case to put him out of the way

MINES AROUND DOUGLAS.
Great Activity in Prospecting Near the
 Shelter City.

The eyes of the world are just now turned upon the mining interests of this section of the great southwest. Never in the history of the great mi ming world has there been such won derful strides in this department of in- dustry as in the southern part oi Ari- zCna and northern Mexico. known as Sonora. Hundreds of prospectors and mining men ard immense capital are finding their way into this section.
 The recent strikes in every direction from Douglas are proving the richness and stability of the mines in the nu- merous mining districts. and in another year no section of the country will en- joy greater activity.
 The Warren district. of which the great Copper Queen mine is the center, is the wonder of this section of the southwest. There are reports coming daily from that district announcing the splendid strike which has been made by this company and the Calumet.
 Ever since mining became the domi- nant interest of the territory. and more especially dating from the dis covery and excitement and opening of the Tombstone mines the Chiricahua mountains, in the extreme southeast

 In the early eighties there was con siderable population in those noun tains and Gallupville was d thriving town. The miners of those days paid their sole attention to silver. the great copper deposits not being considered of any value. Following the demonetiza- tion of silver and its consequent de- cline in value. coupled with remoteness from means of communication and h. dian raids, that section. was practically deserted, although a few hung tena- ciously to their mines in the face of circumstances of the most discourag- ing character. Their faith and cour- age are meeting with d just reward The building Of the Fl Paso Ss South western railroad and the unparalleled quest for copper mines have again turned the attention of mining men to those n,ountains.-Dougla Dispatch

CYANIDE POISONING.

The danger of death from cyanide poisoning lies almost entirely in the cyanide testing-rooms and assay-offi- ces. Familiarity breeds contempt, or care!essness. and most of the accidents reported have been caused by the drinking of cyanide solution in mistake for water. The water intended for drinking purposes should be labeled Drinking water" and the vessels con- taining cyanide cut to be labeled Cyanide" Cyanide eczema sometimes exists among cyanide workers. but it has been found that when the cyanide solution is replaced by water previous to the handling of the zinc-shavings there is no danger of eczema.
 When the zinc -shavirgs and gold precipitates which contain arsenic and cyanide compounds are brought into contact with the sulphriC acid. hydro cyanic acid Sas and arseniureted hy- drogen are evolved. the former always and the latter quortly, in danger ous quantities. Both these gases arc very poisonous. and were it not that the majority of the extractor houses are lofty and well ventilated, the danger arising from the evolution of these gases would be serious.

THE MINING INDUSTRY

brothers cannot obtain il that they will
 erect a new smelting plant in the same
 neighborhood. They own vast copper
 properties not only in Mexico, but in
 Alaska. and have decided to make
 California the sceIse of smelling opera
 tons on large scale. The projected railroad through Mexico to Topolo-
 bampa, on the Gulf of California, will enable them to reach Antioch by water from both Mexico and Alaska, and it is safe to say that their enterprise will involve the employment of thousands of skilled laborers. While common labor is far cheaper in Mexico than m California, fuel is higher and water scarce. so that in the end neither mi- ming nor smeltine can be carried on on an extensive scale any cheaper than in California. Besides these draw backs, the American miners and mill men in Mexico have the countless mi nor disadvantages; which are insepar- al ble from industrial operations con- ducted by them in foreign counties. Mexico is a splendid country with vast stores of minerals, and is the best of all Spanish-American governments. but it is not, after all the America of the Americans, ard is very far indeed from being California.

IN THE DISTRICT.

Outside of the Consolidated com pany considerable work is being done. At the Bonanza a force of men are at work cleaning out the lower workings and getting things in readiness for an active resumption of work Two cars of good ere containing manganese were shipped during the week, the ore being hauled from the mines to the railroad by Conductor Herrick, of Fairbanks. Col. Herring is still here looking after the arrangements for the opening of the property and is much pleased over the present outlook of it.
 At the Brown property two cars were shipped since the first of the week from the dump and several men were put to work in the mine to take out more orc. Since work has been started on this claim some five or six cars of ore have been shipped that have netted the owners considerable for their trouble.
 Johnny Rainey is at work couple of claims about a mile east of town doing the necessary assessment work on them and at the same time taking out some fine looking carbo- nate ore and now has two or three tons sacked on the dump. In start
 
 that had been filled up by some one. at the bottom of which he found the present streak of ore that he is now working on. The claim was formerly known as the old Atchison property. There is an old shaft on it to a depth of nearly a hundred feet and a drift at about twenty-five feet. Mir. Rainey intends to sink his present shaft to connect with the latter drift and has only few more feet to go before the connection will be made.
 The Pearce brothers who were form- CT owners of the Commonwealth prop eIty at Pearce are now engaged in opening up a property on the south side of Ajax hill and are meeting with encouragements as the indication are exceedingly good.
 A number of others are at work on the adjacent hills doing their regular annual assessment work and getting ready to ship ore.

THE TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

During the past week, though there
 has been no startling developments in
 the mining field in this district, yet
 there has been a steady development on all sides, says the Tombstone Pros
 pector. The Consolidated company are still moving forward and are beginning
 to get some ore from below the water
 level. at points that were never reach
 ed before in the history of the camp and the ore is said to be of a high grade, carrying considerable gold and
 silver. The work Of cutting the sta ton on the seven hundred IS progress
 in as grapidly as could be done. and
 there is but little doubt but that it will be completed in the time expected by Supt. Walker. Three cars of ore were shipped from this shaft during the past week. At the big hoist the company has just completed building new change room for the miners as well as installing fine shower batf for their use. At the Tranquility and Silver Thread everything is running smoothly and considerable ore being turned out. The bins at the Thread are nearly. filled and a shipment will soon be made from there. The work of clearing out the Emerald shaft is progressing slowly and a depth of 465 feet has been reached, thus far. The shaft continues to be clogged with de- cayed timbers and dirt which makes the clearing out exceedingly slow. At the Comet regular shipments have been made during the week and there are now two or three more cars of ore in the bins. The workmen are making on the three hundred and as soon as good headway in clearing up the drift is completed considerable more ore will be hoisted. During the past week couple of slight accidents oc- cured, both of singular nature, one at the Comet and one at the big shaft. At the Comet some one left the chairs set out on the two hundred. with the result that the cage caught and the cable was badly twisted thereby At the big shaft the safety chain on one of the cages broke and the cage went down into the stump breaking through the tinbers of the station. No one was injured by the accidents and both were repaired without much trouble.

THE ELKHART TO BE OPERATED

J. P. Finnegan, a merchant of Chlor- idle, was in King1nan this week and it is stated that he has levied an attach ment on the mines and other property of the Elkhart company. It is also stated that the Elkhart company is about to he reorganiZed and that MT. F'innegan will be one of the directorate of the new company. The Elkhart is one of the Chloride companies that suffered the most from gross misman agement of affairs. More than S6.000 was spent in the erection of q mill and sinking shaft to q depth of about 500 feet oH the incline. With big bodies oi ere the company never made shipments of more than four or five carloads of concentrates to the smelter ill d month, when it was capable of handl- ing that amount daily. With an in- telligent mana cement and the neces- sary money back of it there is no req son why the mines of the company should rot be put on a paying basis.- kingnan Arrow.

TANNING GOLD IN MORALES.

There is q Mexican on the Sonora side of the line who has no trouble in banning gold in the arroyo every morning says the Nogales Times. As a result of his labor today. three pans. he realized 8 certs. It has long been known to mining men living in this vicinity that a color could be produced cut of the gravel most anywhere about the town. but not in paying quantity Parties digging wells cn their prop erty have picked the yellow metal off the drills. Some day with the aid of a little deep mining Nogales might turn into a prosperous gold camp. It is only a dream. but in the meantime our Mexican friend is conducting his mining operations in the heart of town and sells his product daily.
