The company is at present engaged
in preliminary work for the install
lation OF 20-stamp mill, part OF
the machinery of which is now on
the ground and the balance is en-
route. The company owns a group
of claims in the San Jose noun
tains, few miles from Naco, in
Sonora, which are very prominent.
The property is an old one, and
was worked years ago by the Mex
leans, who took out large guam
tity OF gold ore. A company, COM
posed Of Cochise county residents,
was formed about two years ago to
take hold of the property, since
which time extensive development
work has been done. A number
of drifts have been run and cross
cuts made which have opened up
large bodies OF free milling ores, OF
which there is claimed to be
sufficient in sight to run the mill
several years. The mine is favor
ably located where there is plenty
of wood and water to run the mill,
and the expense OF reduction will
be reduced to minimum. r. V.

MINING NEWS.

port that the 4U-stamp mill AT the
Octave mine, Weaver district.
turned out during the month OF
August, 447 pounds of gold bullion
from Octave ore, valued at 800, 900.
Clifton Era: Two new seven-ton
converters recently arrived and are
now in place at the smelter OF the
Arizona Copper company. They
occupy the place OF the old tive-ton
converters which were about worn
out. The A. G. smelter now con-
sists of three stands, each being
supplied with seven-ton converlers,
and the output will probably
average sixty-fve to seventy tons
of ninety-nine per cent copper per
day. The capacity OF the A. G.
company is gradually increasing.
Liberal. The Standard mine, at
Clifton, paid its regular quarterly
dividend OF five per cent on the
first OF the month. This shows
that the company is not greatly
worried by the suit for possession
and damages recently brought
against it. Its new aerial tram
way is about completed, and it will
now be able to deliver its ore much
cheaper than formerly. Heretofore
it has had to send its ore down the
mountains, on burros, packed in
sacks.
Bisbee Review George c. Clark
has completed the largest mining
map ever made of the Warren
mining district. 1t was placed on
exhibition in the front window of
the Turf saloon yesterday and was
the principal attraction of Main
street during the day. 1t shows
every claim that has been located
and surveyed, from the Higgins
property in Tombstone to the
country including and adjacent to
the Copper Glance. The map is
the most complete work of its kind
that has ever been turned out in
this district and will be placed on
exhibition at the Worlds fair.
Bisbee Revi ew: After several
months of water fighting the Calu-
met and Pittsburg company has
once more started the shaft sink
ing At the present time a verit-
able river of water is issuing from
the three discharge pipes the
volume reaching to 800 gallons per
minute. The water lifted here
as perfectly clear and comes in with
unvarying regularity at the bottom
OF the shaft. The depth to which
the shaft has. stuck for several
months was 96S feet, but this is
now being gradually increased and
there will no doubt be a strong
feeling of relief with the stockhold-
ers when they realize that there is
a strong probability of the 1850
level being drifted within a few
weeks. If the other shafts fail to
prove the district" promptly, this
one will doubtless bring out the
good news OF lots of ore" as the
$50 level is known to show numer-
Gus large pockets extending down
wards which will doubtless prove
extensive at a depth 100 feet
greater. In this connection it has
lately been reported that on the
$50 level a body OF ore 200 feet in
extent has been proven up, but
this report lacks confirmation.

COLLECTED GRAFT" FOR AMES.
Witness In Trial at Minneapolis Gives
Details of System.

Minneapolis, May SIN the trial Of
Former Mayor Ames for bribery Sat
urday Irwin A. Gardner, who swears
he collected the graft" for the mayor
from abandoned women, was recalled
for redirect examination. He de-
clared that he had given his evidence
without promise of immunity or re-
ward of any kind from the state. He
admitted collecting from patients OF
Dr.. Ames for medical services, but
swOre that the graft payments were
entirely distinct from these transac-
tons. Asked why he did not turn the
none he collected V Immediately,
instead OF. retaining it until $500 had
been accumulated, he explained that
the mayor was imbibing too freely
and was in no condition to receive it.
Thomas r. Brown, who was the may
or's private secretary, testified that
he had seen Gardner pay the mayor a
sum of money in bills. He described
the circumstances, corrOboratlng
Gardeners evidence, but could not fix
the date exactly. He also produced a
list of "roomers" he had found in the
mayors desk while cleaning it out.
This was after the mayor had left
town. 1t was in the handwriting of
Charles r. Hill, the mayors captain of
police, and presumably was the list of
women who were paying for protec-
ton. Christopher Norbeck, former 20
lice detective, nov s%erving a sentence
in the state prison at Saltwater for
bribery, told the story of graft and
his connection with it. His evidence
was largely corroborative of Gard

The Only Building in Minneapolis
When Simon Bean Came West.
Many of the old settlers of Bath and
vicinity met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Simon Bean recently to help them
celebrate their golden wedding. ST.
mon Bean and Margaret Munson were
married at st. Anthony, Mimi, May
/, 1853, Rev. Mr.. Bostwick officiating.
Mr.. Bean, a native of New Hampshire,
came West in 1S4s, when there were
no railroads west of Albany. He came
to Chicago on the lakes, staged it to
GalSha, and went up the river to st.
Paul and over to st. Anthony.
At that time the only building on
the west side of the river where Min
neapolis is now located was the gov
eminent grist mill.
Mr.. Bean was in the lumber bust
ness in Minneapolis for many years.
At one time he owned the farm which
now includes Minnehaha Driving Park.
He and his wife lived Ill Minneapolis
till 1876, when they went to Howard
Lake, where they remained five years.
In 1881 they came to Brown county,
Dakota territory, locating a fine farm
a few miles from Bath. They still live
on this farm. They have three chill
dren, Charles L., of Columbus, Ohio;
G. w, who lives on a farm adjoining
theirs, and Mrs. Matt Chalcraft, Bath.

MUTUALS ARE ORGANIZED.
Two New Mutual Insurance Companies
Are Organized.

When it was learned that the valued
policy insurance law applied to mutual
companies as we'll as to the old line
companies, it was declared that all
mutuals would have to go out of BUSH
ness in the state.
Evidently all people do not look
upon the effects of the law in the same
light, as two more mutuals have just
been organized in the state, both at
Sioux Falls. These two new organiza-
tions which have been granted au-
thority by the state department to do
business in South Dakota are the Sioux
Falls Mutual Fire association and the
Retail Merchants Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company.
1t is evidenet that they are either
starting out OIL a wild move, or some
one was mistaken in estimating the
effects of the new law.

CROPS IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Weather Has Been Favorable for Un'
Interrupted Field Work.

The latest bulletin of the South Da-
kota section of the climate and crop
service says:
The weather during the week was
generally fair and very favorable for
rapid and uninterrupted field work.
and except in some scattered and
limited localities, where some lOwland
was too wet to work because of rains
of the preceding week, the soil was in
very favorable condition for seeding
and for the preparation Of ground for
corn. The nights were cool. There
was a heavy frost Saturday morning
oyer the middle and northern counties,
but no damage is reported.
The sowing of wheat is practically
completed in the southern and rapidly
nearing completion in the northern
portion of the state, and oat, speltz,
barley, and spring rye seeding was
very favorabIy advanced. Early soWn
wheat is up in the middle and south
ern counties and it is terminating well
elsewhere, and an ven and satlstac-
tory stand Is reported generally. Like
favorable conditions prevail with the
earliest sown oats, speltz, and spring
rye.
Although spring sown grain has ger
minated slowly, because OF cool nights,
1t is making strong root.
Winter rye continues in thrifty con-
dition generally and shows very good
stand. and alfalfa IS doing nicely.
Potato planting and gardening pro-
crossed rapidly. ,
Prairie grass has made fairly good
progress and now aI1ords conslderaple

for the early completion OF small gram
seeding, prompt and even germlnatlon

Of the early sown, very gratifying, and
