LEADv1LLE MINING co.
New Corporation For Exploitation of
 Property in the Dragons.

The latest company to enter the field is the Leadville Mining company, the incorpora ton of which has just been completed and by the same token nave come into possession of valuable group of mines in consolidation of the Holmes, Fitch and Storebecll properties near Gleason. These mines, says tfe Tombstone Prospector have long been favorably known as most promising properties, the development thus far done having proven them of exceptional worth. The incorporat tors and officers of the company, besides including the original owners of the group. also pre- sent the names of local residents Who have become interested and thus De- speak the confidence and regard In which the company is held. The low capitalization of S6OO,OO0 was decided upon to guard against unwarranteG watering of stock values. while ample stock reserves are held in the treasury to provide for development work; ma chinery and contingencies for the pros ecution of successful mining. William Holmes one of the original owners Of the mines. and an experienced mining man. is president of the company Charles M. McKean, for years the pop ular and successful manager of the Norton 6 Morgan company mercantile interests at Pearce, is vice president, secretary and treasurer. The directors of the company besides including the above named. comprise H. T. Fitch an. w. A. StCrebeck, well known resident, of Pearce, who also were original own CTS of the group. and H. A. Morgan, the prominent merchant of Wilcox who is numbered among the wealthy residents of the county.
 The Leadville Mining company prop critics carry high grade copper ore. the character of the same being easily worked, self-fiuXing and of desira ble grade. The development thus far has shown the ore body to be of consider able extent and in the depth of I2O fee; attained 2 most satisfactory condition exists. The officers of the company assert some S50,G00 worth of ore Is on the dumps and in sight on the group. while the prospects of numbering the company among the early producers oi the famous copper belt of the Dragons is most suspicious. It is the intention of the company to energetically crowd work on the mines and arrangements are being made to do so without delay.

LATE IN GETTING THE NEWS.

A scary story got around Washing ton day or two ago that Senator Quay had nearly poisoned himself taking some strychnine tablets, mistaking them for something else. For a brief time there was wild rush of newspa- per men and others in search of the Pennsylvanian, who was finally found, looking about as usual. When he learned what the uproar was about he said to the newspaper men: "For once you boys are far behind the news. Why. I swallowed those tablets in February of last year. You're just a bit late, but I'm much obliged for your solicitude, just the same"

YAVAPAI MINES.

l.. F. Hesla, tlc jeweler, who has been connected with the jeWelry firm of Geo. H. Cook &t Co.,, has purchased half interest in the Home Cabin group of mines owned by John Bryant, the well known prospector. These mines are located in the Copper Basin dis trict, and show up splendidly for what development has been done. It is the intention to sink to water level at once and then drift and crosscut. Good shipping ore is being taken out now.
 The mill at the Cash mine has been closed temporarily. It is desired to sink the shaft leo feet deeper, which will make a total depth of TOO feet, and dur
 ing the progress of this work it will be impossible to raise enough ore to keep the mill in operation. The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

Tortoise-shell combs with ornamen-

The ivory combs of last year seem to
have gone out Of fashion and tortoise
shell, gold, amber and jet are the thing
now. A shell comb with a spray of
diamond morning glories at the top
has a unique effect owing to the fact
that each blossom holds in its calyx a
sapphire dewdrop.
An amber comb has a spray of deli
cate diamond foliage across the top,
terminating at one corner in bouquet
of pearl and emerald flowers.
New and very fantastic are the but

some instances gemmed with colored

Lady curzon as a Detective.

A retired Indian judge tells curl
Gus story about Lady Curzon, the wife
of the viceroy of India. He was din
ing at the vlceregal lodge one night,
and the conversation turned upon o
sensational murder trial which he was
conducting at the time.
After dinner Lady Curzon drew the
Judge aside and said:
81 do not want to interfere with
your judicial duties, but know as an
absolute fact that the man who Is
charged with that murder is innocent.
II you will send detective to me to-
morrow morning l will direct him TO
the house where the real murderer is
now hiding. only discovered the fact
this afternoon, when was down there
in disguise with one of our syces."
Sure enough, the murderer was
caught. as Lady Curzon had said, and
the innocent man was released. This
incident, becoming known, has made
her very popular with the people of
Calcutta, who are not used to English
''mem-sahibs" taking so much inter
est In their humble lives.
Lady Curzon would not tell how she
found out the murderer. She said that
she made 1t rule never to talk about
her excursions in native costume, lest
she should get her native guides and
friends into trouble with their own
people.

The Change Of Clothing.

In an excellent article in The Delln-
Gator on the Hygiene Of Clothes" DR..
Grace Peckham Murray makes the fol-
lowing points in regard to seasonabie
and unreasonable clothing, which arc
particularly appropriate at this time:
The practical utility of clothing Is to
retain the heat of the body, and con-
sequently It should be adapted to the
climate and season. Too much cloth
ing is as injurious as too little, for 1t
prevents free exercise and develop
ment. In changing the clothing with
the verlous seasons one should exer-
else judgment. II Is common prac-
tice to fix certain date as the time
for changing, irrespective of the tenn
perature; many persons will shiver in
light clothing because the calendar has
not yet announced the appointed day,
and again will sweiter in heavy cloth
ing when the temperature rises after
light clothing has been discarded.
These methods DR.. Murray rightly. con-
demns, and makes the suggestion that
every house should have an out-of-
doors thermometer, preferably placed
outside window of the bedroom, so
that the temperature can be read each
morning and the clothing donned ac-
cordingly.

Wired Through the Nest

Birds are, fond of building their nests
in curious places. On the ground at
the Crystal Palace, in London, where
the great football games are played,
an extra telegraph once was erected
for use on special occasions. Shortly
after the final tie for the English as
sociation cup in 1901 the Office was re-
opened. Then It was noticed that a
thrush had made her nest partly on
the gas pendant and partly on four
of the telegraph wires. She had found
her way in through n broken pane Of
glass. She was sitting on her eggs
when first observed, and as she did not
seem to be alarmed camera was
fetched and her portrait taken. 1t was
more than likely that most of the news
of the match was sent through the nest
while the bird was busy building 1t.
or course care was taken not to scare
the thrush or destroy the nest

cats; do you not. young people.
The cats muscles are extraordinar-
ily large and powerful In proportion to
the animals size. Then. again those
muscles are attached to bones, fitted
together at such angles as to make
"the finest system of springs and lev
crs," said DR.. Huidekoper, known in
the whole group; the claws as sharper
and are curved into stronger hooks
than in any other mammal and by the
action Of special muscles are with
drawn under the protection Of sheath
like pads, that they may escape wear
and injury when not In use." The
slender, supple form of the cat makes
1t capable Of the highest activity. The
heavy boy, you may have noticed. is
not always the strongest; the thin, ac-
tive boy is the fastest runner and the
quicker at games which need both
strong and Timber muscles.
The shoulder-blade, the arm and the
forearm, the thigh, the leg and the
foot Of the cat lie at what the veterin.
ary surgeons call CLOSED angles" That
peculiar conformation shows that the
enormous jumps which the cat can
take to the envy of any athletic boy
are due to the great power and the
closed angles Of the joints; but the
conformation of the legs make the cats
stride at walk. trot. or a run re-
markably limited. The cat moves,
therefore, with wonderful quickness.
but with no great speed. The boy who
says he feels ''as weak as a cat"--if he
is at all like the cat-should be sp,en-
didly muscular. The truth is that, in
proportion to the size OF his body. he
can never hope to be as strong as q

The Wild Carrot.

A weed has been defined as "a plant
that persists in growing where it is not
desired" Surely the wild carrot Is a
most weedy weed from the point of
view of that definition and of the dis
like Of the farmer. AS to the persis-
tence, our veteran farmer-naturalist
John Burroughs tells us: "Cut off the
head of the wild carrot, and in week
there will be five heads in room of
one; cut off these, and by fall there are
ten looking defiance at you from the
same root" Tennyson's method Of
studying a plant is the only one for
getting rid of this. The farmer, in ac-
tions IL not in words, must say to the
wild carrot:
Flower. Il pluck you out,
Hold you here root and all, in my
hand.
The only fault Of wild carrot, as Of
other so-called weeds, is too great
success in life. 1t is guilty only Of per-
sistence. But from a nature-lover's
point of view there are strictly speak
ing, no weeds. No plant Ia disliked.
On the contrary, the more a plant IS
able to strive successfully for life, the
more Of interest 1t Is. We can also
see and appreciate the beauty without
the "weedy" dislike.
If in this spirit observers will exam
ine the wild carrot. the verdict will be
that 1t Is one of the prettiest and most
interesting of our native plants The
beauty is especially noticeable In the
full bloom, or Queen Anne's lace"
form; perhaps some may regard the
"bird's-nest" form as the most inter-
esting.-St. Nicholas.

A Woman's Mouth.

Beware of the rosebud mouth? That
mouth that is SO tiny. The mouth that
finds its way into the pages of nov
els, that may be found in statuary. All
the Venuses have rosebud mouths
for the rosebud mouth is Dame Ma
ture's label pinned to the face, declar-
ing that its owner is vain. frivolous
and untruthful.
On the other hand, the larger mouth,
with full, well-proportioned lips, which
when closed form almost a horizontal
line with the corners of the mouth,
neither elevated nor depressed is the
indication for truthfulness, loyalty,
firmness, justice. A large mouth does
not look pretty. possibly. but 1t re-
fleets handsome and womanly qualities
which should always be in demand.
One often hears the statement, "Oh,
what short upper lip" and the state
ment made in all sincerity. A short
upper lip is said to be sign of beau
ty. Upon the point of beauty we have
nothing to say, but we DO know the
girl who has short upper lip is gen.
orally very conceited creature, and
the only way to gain her heart Is 20
flatter her. That is a point worth
knowing and recollecting.
Observe the wide mouth with down.
ward curves at the corners. Notice
particularly the points-7mouth wide,
corners depressed. Women who have
a mouth like this would deprive their
stomachs of the best turkey dinner ever
cooked for the sake of gossiping. A
woman of this kind will neglect every
