ing up very dark against the almost pure white limestone Water has corne in quite strong and the 800 gal Ion capacity pumps are unable to han de it properly and will be supplement ed in a few days by another pump bringing up the total capacity to 1000 gallons. The confidence in the prop erty by the men employed there is one of the most convincing arguments of it's value to be desired-another boiler has just been added
 The Modern.
 Mir. w A Bateman, the general fnsncier for this property. is authority for the statement that deal will prob ably be closed in a day or two which will place the Modern on a more satis- factory basis. By the proposed change the property will be ofhcered and operated entirely by Michigan peo- pie. the incorporation to remain the same as at present, only some of the promotion stock will be turned back into the treasury and resold.
 This property is asserted to be a good one by some operators who have lad long experience in the district, and the resumption of activity at the mine may be looked for at an early date.

The Hiocins-

Overlooking the town. and promising to prove an important factor in the Future history of Bisbee, the Higgins or July 1st put into commission for the first time it's new steam hoist and the sight of smoke issuing from the stacks which are visible straight mp Main street. WAS a reassuring and gratifying sight to the towns people
 The three compartment shaft is now down more than no feet, and great eeal of surface improvement has been eone during the past month. The newly started equipment has a ca Lacity of over 800 feet. and is first class one. and we'll stationed. This property is rightly considered a favor ite. and all who know the local forma- ton are becoming more and more i'm pressed with the prospects of the Higgins.

T -'ous reasons this propeIis is a strong favorite. and 1t is being well handled by Scott Turner, who is also in control of the work at the Calumet & Bisbee. At the Coehise the work Is progressing without a hitch, and the two and half compart- ulent shaft is TOW down over 2S0 feet n the rock, which Nr E. A. Rice, the foreman says is very hard.

Portage Lake.

The report circulated in Michigan to the effect that the Portage Lake had encountered ore is without foundation. as the company encountered water at 11s feet depth. and further sinking will DO impossible until the pumps arrive end are installed.
 An engine and hoist are also en route, and will arrive shortly.
 Near the Portage Lake the Quincy 6 Arizona is down thirty-five feet; this property is about two miles from .he Mexi ean line.

Calumet 6 Bisbee.

The shaft here has been penetrating rock which shows considerable iron, and the depth already attained of 560 feet reflects credit on those in charge of the work. The equipment here IS ample for all the work being done. A lew engine with greater capacity will soon be received and Installed.

Copper Glance Machinery.
and OOnOra

Copper Glance Machinery.
 After much tedious delay the pump ing machinery for the Copper Glance has arrived. It came in over the E. IF & s. w. on Friday but owing to the Fourth of July festiv ties, it will not be unloaded until Monday morn Ing. This forever sets at rest the yarn of the knocker, which was put in circulation few weeks ago. that the Coper Glance company had never ordered any ma .chinery. The machinery has arrived and the ertire lot Is of the most ap- FroveG pattern and make. S. w. Clawson, president of the company gave this matter his personal atten- ton, and Clawson is considered a crank" on good machinery. Much in the Warren district depends on the re- suits obtained by sinking the Copper Glance shaft. At $50 feet water was encountered and for practically six months the mine has only been work ing a small force drifting Superin- tCndent Watkins estimates that within three weeks from next Monday the Copper Glance pumps win be throwing water ard sinking in the shaft will have beer resumed That the forma- .ior has changed in the water no one doubts. but jus. what the formation will be remains to be seen. Opera tiops st the Copper Glance. for the next three T four mouths will 5t watched with keen interest. The rtE'king of ere would sound the key note of the greatest mining boom the United States has ever seen.
 Lucky Tiger.
 Lee Benton and Major Hargrove re turned last evening from Moctezuma, where they went to place the articles of incororation. bylaws and deeds of the Lucky Tiger Combination Mining company on record. They returned by way of the mines, and report every thing in irst-class condition.
 Major Hargrove states that the wagon road is within six miles of the property. the balance of the distance covered by a good trail. Men are TOW at work completing the road to the camp.
 Development work is progressing ia yorably. Said the Major: we are finding rich ore in the south end of the property. It is very hot down there, and most of our traVeling was done by night
 The fact that ali papers regarding the Tigne property and the company have been firally completed is cer- tainly welcome news to Bisbeeltes and gratifying to the officers of the company, as the matter has been hang ing fire for some time.

Lake Superior.

At shaft No. 2, sinking continues steadily and few days will see the cutting of the HOO foot drift. Here, too, there is plenty of water, and ore stains on the dump are quite plenti- ful An accident to the gallows frame this week delayed work few hours. The timbers holding the sheaye wheel in place gave way and the large wheel crashed, through the front of the power house, but prompt repairs enabled the speedy resumption ot work

Dear Sir In reply to your request of
the 18th for information concerning the
nature and treatment OF blind staggers
in horses, beg to inform you that as the
cause of this disease remains undiscover-
ed, the medicinal treatment thus far has
not been satisfactory. especially since the
ANIMALS die so suddenly. ! would, how
ever. suggest that with the first appear
ance of the disease the affe cted animal
be purged freely by administering ounce
of Cape aloes with drains of extract OF
belladonna. This should be followed by
giving twice daily drench composed of
Fowler's solution, 2 drains phenacetin
drains, and strychnin sulphate, } grain
By the use of prophylactic measures fresh
outbreaks may be averted. These consist
in having all of the horses removed from
the infected stable and before replacing
them the stalls, managers. etc., should be
thoroughly cleansed and disinfected with
l live Pei SSul SOlutloH Oh cTeOiln OF car
bolic acid. The walls should be covered
with whitewash, to which has been added
four ounces of carbolic acid to each gall
Ion of wash. Complete change of food
and water is especially important since it
is thought by some that the cause may
reside in diseased grain or hay or in con.
water. Strict attention to
ventilation and drainage is also essential
Very respectfully.
D. E. SALMON,
Chief of Bureau.

SOFT CORE:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to dc
their proper work.
