We have been sinking in the ore several days, and am not prepared to even make guess at it's dimensions. The great est value is in the copper, and proves the statement that the Hauchucas are destined to become great copper producing district. For some time we have been in ledge matter, which has recently fulfilled our expectations, and developed into a large ore deposit.

 It is expected that the long shut down Of the United Verde plant at Jerome will come to an end soon. Now beginning to arrive is single shipment of 100 carloads of coke and more is on the way. A part of this coke is of superior quality, necessarily ordered in Pennsylvania on account Of the Colorado strikes. The new furn- aces of the company are in excellent condition and the prospects are that the coming year will see the largest copper production ever known in Jerome. Fully l5O0 men will be em- ployed. It Is averred that the fire in the middle levels of the mine has been wholly extiuguished and that one of the sealed stopes opened a few days ago, was found cool. Some of the stopes carry sulphide in so free form, however, that ignition is apt to follow the introd uction of air. Nearly three

 When Colonel Greene passed through
 Douglas last Friday, from Cananea to
 New York, asked by q reporter Of the nternatiOnal-Ame merican to say some thing about Cananea he said that Cananea was growing rapidly in population and that he considered that the whole camp from one end to the other had q population at least of 2O,- 0GO people. The mines are producing more ore and better ore than ever be- fore. At present more ore is being mined than the great reduction works can handle and it is necessary to ship ore to 7melters OItside Of the camp. As soon as possible large additions will be made to both the smeiters and con centrator. When the additions are made to the reduction plant more ore will be mined from the almost in- exhaustable bodies that make Cananea Mexico.

Coming Lawn Fete.

lawn fete is to be held at the corner of
J.ydecker avenue and 14th street, Mount
Pleasant, beginning June s. for the benefit
of the Church of the Sacred Heart, of which
the Rev. Joseph F. MCGEE is the pastor.
The grounds on which the fete is to be held
are separated from the church only by Ly-
decker avenue, and have been used for this
purpose during past years. The party is
an annual affair, and the proceeds are used
to pay off the indebtedness of the Sacred
Heart Church, as well as to provide neces-
sary accessories for it. The fete this year,
it is promised will surpass the efforts of the
past the ladies connected with 1t having
been at work for several months preparing
for the event. The booths are to be pre-
sided over by attractive young ladies, in ap-
propriate costumes, and the scheme of
decorations will be effective and lavish.
There will be a number of attractive fea-
lures each evening, and the fact that no
admission is charged should insure large
attendance. There will be the usual attrac-
tons found at such events, including the
supper table, lemonade WELL confectionery
and fancy booths and the like, and should
the weather bureau not save up the rain
that is needed at the present time for that
occasion the fete win be the most successful
in the history of the church.

the District up to a year or so ago. He
was one of the inspectors of rifle practice
of the District of Columbia National Guard
for several years, and was a second lieu

FACING THE TARGETS

If an opinion can be formed from the at
tendance of the District marksmen at the
range during the past week for the regular
out-of-door target practice of members OF
the National Guard, it would seem that
greater interest than ever will be taken IN
rifle practice the coming year.. whether
this is caused by the pre-eminence the DIS
trict has attained in this particular branch
of military science or other cause cannot
be determined but it is certain that the
various organizations that were on the
range the past six days had fuller ranks
and displayed more enthusiasm than mas
been demonstrated in months.
Some of this enthusiasm may be attrib-
uted to the general waking up OF the
marksmen all over the country through the
discussion that has been aroused by the
PRONUNCIATION of the new firing regulations
for the army and by the adoption of the
some sense, also, there may be some I'M
petus given to rifle shooting in this city by
the prominence of the District men in the
match that has been in progress at Sea
Grt to determine the selection of a team
to go to England to contest for the Palma
trophy, won last year by the Irish team.
Prominence of District Marksmen.
