FLASH WRITE UPS, AND z THEIR REACTION

Except for the purpose of illegiti- mate business and temporary benefit, no wild cat write up of mining prop erty ever paid. It may be done by an honest individual whose over wrought imagination is out of plumb on the strength of a diminutive pay streak which abideth not but yanishes with the setting sun, but the inevitable re- action is in store, and sooner or later it will rob the property of the just and conscientious estimate to which it is entitled. IL reminds us of the little boy in the Third reader. who was sent to herd the sheep, and instructed to yell wolf in the event that such an 1inweicome visitor should put in his appearance. He proceeded to yell wolf when there was no wolf in sight, and when the wolf did appear on the scene and he yelled wolf no one paid any attention to him, and the flock suf- fered in consequence. A man makes flash write up of property when there is nothing in sight The public gets on to the facts, and later on when it becomes a meritorious proposition no one will believe it because their con fidence has in a sense been violated, and all surrounding properties are in jured.
 The Review proposes to tell the truth or nothing in regard to the min ing field which it undertakes to cover. h time We believe that such a policy will bear fruits. not only for us. but for our friends and neighbors and the great mining public of Arizona and Sonora in general We want all the legitimate mining news We can get, but no fakes need apply.

Senator Morgan's description of the Littlefield trust bill as mo more than a mush poultice to be put on the people to alleviate the pain" caused by mo- nopoly's rough-riding is graphic and truthful It makes a good companion phrase to Representative Clayton s characterization of the same measure, in it's application to the trusts, as the sootheing stroke of a friendly hand"

RICH ORE AT DOUGLAS.

J. c. Gibbs, an old time mining man from Telluride. Coo, passed through Fl Paso Sunday en route home from Douglas. says the Fl Paso News. He has been there Investigating the re- ports of finds that have been made around Douglas. He says that the gold is where it is reported, and that there is plenty of it. He stated that the country is very peculiar in regard to many things. The mines where good strikes have been made are many miles apart, none being closer than thirty miles He says there is no great excitement to be noticed in Doug
 las, although prospecting parties are leaving constantly for the new coun- | try.
 | Barney Hanson, prospector and
 mining man of this city, has struck it rich at Douglas. His properties are
 said to be only a short distance from
 the town in the foothills of the Terres
 range The stuff is gold float, which
 runs up in the thousands to the ton.
 There are rich surface croppings, and 1 he is trying to locate the vein. l s$ss
 l Several prominent mining men from | distant climes have been making the
 Calumet and Arizona office their head quarters for the last few days. They may have skipped away from Michigan
 to get out of the snow, but we will al ways believe it is our magnificent store house of copper that constitutes the attractOin.
 Jack Hoasten, the popular South Bisbee boy, is enjoying a visit from a
 brother from Michigan. This is not | Mr. Hoatsen's first visit to our district, however, and the impression that de- velopments have been made him in the direction of mining, leads him in the direction of mining. leads us to the conclusion that it will not be his last.

There is no duty upon copper ore imported into the United States, yet 1t might be difficult for anyone to ex- plain why, with our protective tariff lowed to go unprotected True, we ex- port a large quantity, but equally true is it that we import a large quantity. During last year (19O2) and the state ment is made upon the authority of Messrs. D. Houston & Co, of New York, there were imported into the United States 159 9.OOO.GOO pounds Of fine copper. That is about one-fourth as much as the total copper production of this country.

In Mexico the system prevails of paying the miners so much an inch
 for mining and works very satisfactori- y. The work demanded is done well and done promptly. The introduction .of such system in Arizona would go a great ways toward the solution of the difficulties constantly arising between
 the miners and their employers, and the miners could do much worse than to adopt this method of working. The necessity for disputes would be mini mixed. the work would be done more quickly, there would be no protection for poor miners by the better class of workmen, every man would stand on his own merits and the men who work the hardest will have the greater op-

MINES IN SONORA

The development of mines during the last three or four years in the northern part of the state has attracted the attention of the mining world A region which was unknown five years ago has suddenly been brought for ward as one of the greatest producers in the entire republic This region comprises the five districts of Arizpe. Moctezuma, Ures, Magdalena and AL tar, and includes al that section of the country between Sierra Madre and the Gulf of California, and from the inter national line to distance of 25O miles south.
 All these mountains abound in rich mineral deposits, and the immense amount of development work now be- ing done, is widely attracting the at tention of the mining world
 The Anglo-American Copper compa- ny has a large force of men working on their gold and copper properties in the Santo Domingo mountains. south Cananea, near Bacoachi. The com pany has 200 pertenencias, and the geological formation is exactly the same as the Cananea mines. Four tun- nels have been driven and the ores encountered contain iron, copper. gold. carbonate of lead and zinc.
 In the Heromsillo district the Fl Main Copper company is preparing to begin operations on a large scale on their rich properties in that section. The company is composed of eastern capitalists. who have faith in Sonora mines and propose to operate them by improved methods and on large scale.-Cananea Herald.
 
 The new plant of the Dragon Cop per Mining and Smelling company will be started up in the morning. The timbermen have commenced putting in the timbers in the shaft and the guides for the cage. The gasoline en- zine of 34-horse power which has just been installed was given a trial today and works exceedingly well. The shaft will be sunk at once to the 750-foot level. The camp is a progressive one. ., the miners are paid s3.5O per day for eight hours. while the engineers are paid s4; every one working eight hours. The company has ample funds to carry on the development work during this year without selling any more of it's stock s. W. CIawson. su- perintendent of the Copper Queen. was visitor to the property Sunday last and was quite well impressed with the outlook of the property.

 Work was suspended on the Mud Hole mine. Lynx creek. the property of the Penn Gold Mining company the early part of the week. A short time since a body of water was struck which put one of the pumps on the lower levels out of business and kept all the facilities in the mine hard at work to control the same. This sec ond body of water was too much and so the works were compelled to close. While this may prove a temporary embarrassment to the Penn Gold Min ing company. yet it is received with delight by the miners of the county. Water is king in this country and the success of mining depends upon 1t, therefore the Penn people are to be congratulated more than otherwise Prescott Prospect

 The Omnibus statehood bill still holds it's position in the United States senate. Adivces from Washington say that Senator Quay has twenty Republi- can votes behind him, which, when the Democrats are included, gives him a large margin to carry the statehood measure through the senate. He may and probably will lose some votes among both parties on proposition to oyerrule the president pro tenn of the senate, but in either event they calcu- late that he has votes enough to pass the bill over the ruling of the presiding officer when that official decides that statehood legislation shall not be ai- lowed to complicate the appropriation bills.

E HH THEY GOT THE MINE;
HE GOT THE DOUGH

Chas. J George has made another Dig payment in Prescott for property in the Big Bug district, making the last payment due on any of the four groups composing the great Poland Extension property.
 The final papers were signed this morning in Judge J. J. Hawkins office and the deeds put on record. The mon ey was paid over and everything done in business shape, as MT, George al ways deals. The amount paid was $20,0OO, a snug little sum for a man to carry around in his vest pocket.
 The Poland Extension property has the reputation of being one of the very best mineral propositions in the territory and as yet it has been worked systematically for only a year or so. The ore in sight is claimed by experts to be sufficient to keep a large mill running for many years. The ore is easily milled and is high grade
 Mir. George has done more for this section of the country than most men would have done in lifetime. He is still doing, too, and will soon have twice as many men working as he now has

The Beckett Well.
Many months have elapsed since
the operators of the lower south
west have had an opportunity to
discuss a strictly new discovery out
side of the old defined producing
limits of the lower southwest fields.
1t Is not at all likely that the new
discovery will 60 far towards sup
plying the declining production of
the old fields. Those familiar with
the territory are not inclined to
attach any great importance to the
strike. 1t has furnished some ex-
element and invited some new
talent to invest when the older de-
clined.
The we'll Is located on the E. W.
Beckett farm about four miles
southeast of Milton In Mud river
valley In Cabell county. West Wiz
ginla. 1t was drilled by local talent
and when the drill was at depth
of about I 400 feet last Saturday 1t
encountered a sand, thought to be
the Keener. When 1t had been
drilled In foot the we'll began to
low oil and filled up and flowed.
Drilling was suspended but the well
continued to flow at intervals.
After 1t had put 50 barrels In the
100 barrel tank 1t stopped flowing
and no effort was made to have 1t
start again until additional tankage
had been provided. When drilled
deeper Its production may be In
creased, but 1t Is just as likely not
to improve and If such proves the

WHOLESALE
Robbery of Big Four FreightS

Investigations of continued robber-
les of Big Four freights have led to
several arrests in Indianapolis dur
ing the last few days, and the Indian
apolis Journal says:
The facts of an enormous steal
from the Big Four road have been
unearthed by the detectives, and
many other arrests will be made
within the next day or so, it is said.
From the evidence in the hands of
the detective department II is known
that au organized gang of employees
of the Big Four have been robbing
freight cars unmolested for years,
and the losses of the railroad COM
pany have been very heavy.
At the Bellefontaiue terminal of
the Big Four division carloads of
stolen goods are said to have been
hidden by the thieving brakemen
and conductors and a Wholesale sys-
tenn of robbery has been conducted
with boldness which is startling
even to the police, who are used to
all surprises. Pianos, hair pins and
almost every kind of property except
the rolling stock and the tracks have
been carted away by unscrupulous
employees, and the present beginning
of the detectives in ferreting out the
the guilty men promises to develop
an amazing array of affairs.
