Mail Delivery.

The receipts of Skowhegan post-o flee
for the year ending June 30 amounted to
sl0,677.7S. For the year ending June
30, 1902, they amounted to 50, 724.51 and
for the previous year, 50 0S5.6l. 1t will
be seen that there has been healthy in
crease for the three years past and that
the office has reached the revenue point
where free delivery may be had If the
patrons of the office desire it enough to
ask for it and comply with the necessary
conditions. About the only stipulation
that will involve any effort or expense
is the proper numbering Of residences
and places of business. This has
been done imperfectly. All houses on
all the streets should be systematically
numbered, whether we have free delivery
of mails or not. Ii seems greatly out of
gear to have free delivery on all roads
leading out of Skowhegan, for radius
of ten or II miles from the post Office,
and not have it in the village. We be-
lieve our people would be pleased with
it, once 1t was established.

 MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

Improvements are steadily bobbing up at the works of this remarkable property. The new tramway was in full operation yesterday The little engine is housed in with corrugated iron. Jim Beard of poetic proclivi- ties n charge. It is so arrenged that coal, building material or any other class of supplies can be unloaded from the standard guage cars onto the tram cars, run onto the deck of the incline, hoisted, swung onto the tramway above the hoist and distributed with the greatest convenience. They are putting up a foundation for a new boil dc betwLen the tramway and the boiler room. They skidded a mule onto the cage last Sunday, sailed him down to the Sth level and put him to chewing alfalfa. No more will his sonorous bray resound up Tombstone canyon nor will his stubby tail find it necessary to slap viciously at the nimble dog-1y on the sunny slopes of Lowell city. Adolph Nieman was just caging when We were there, that is he was tending cage. Billy Hes long, who had the misfortune to lose a finger in the saw mill one day last week at the c. A., was the recipient of a purse from unknown friends. which contained S150. Billy is doing well and will be on duty again before the Johnny jump-ups appear in the spring.

GARDNER WILL SOON
 NEED WORKING HOIST.

Indications would point to the con clusion that a working hoist would soon have to be installed a. the Gard ner. The dump in general appear ance, resembles that of the Capote No. | Close inspection of the material composing it shows it to be sparkling with copper sulphuretts, about the most interesting waste dump we have ever seen. The railroad has extend ed spur squarely across the dump, which is matter of some significance A water car, provided with a canvas spout stands on the tramtrack near the shaft, which would indicate that they were not bothered with dust be- low. They have recently erected an imposing" one story corrugated iron building called the Gardner hotel, but which will be used for the present as a change room. The little Gardner is not to be sneeZed at.

HEARTY WELCOME TO

The New Year is here, with all its gaudy togs, its youthful lines and dim pIes. It is ushered in in the midst Of prosperity and festivity, but it is de- stined to grow to stately maturity, then like its countless predecessors, hand in it's accounts, and turn to the masoleum of the centuries. What the year 1903 has in store for the indus trial world out speeds all prophecy, what its balance sheet shall show in favor of the mighty realm of mining is difficult to conjecture, but it will be record breaker. We are equally con fident in predicting that during the life of the new year, Michigan and Montana will have surrendered to Ari- zona, the scepter as the leading cop per producers of the United States. Considering the number of men em- ployed, Arizona has been the banner copper producer for many years, and the day is close at hand when she will stand first, numerically, statistic ally and absolutely.
 When we reflect that our Warren District has contributed more than any other section to this magnificent result, can We not afford to indulge in an unusual measure of pride and eX- ultation?
 The mining department of the Re view is devoted to the task of bring ing the unparalleled mining resources of Arizona and Sonora in general, and of the Warren district in particular, to the light of day in the eyes of the mining and industrial world, and in the eyes of investors and men of means throughout the land.
 To this object it is faithfully pledg- ed. and We ask the cooperation of all true A~izonians in this, our mission of gooo will to the workingman. the businessman, and every true man in the territory.

SONORA INVESTED MONEY
 BRINGS GOOD RESULTS

The properties located near Nigger Hear in Sonora have been known as good properties for many years but all agreed that it would take a large company to operate in that section as it was rot a poor mans country to work in.
 Such companies as are organized and financed by the large copper men of the lakes are the ones to take hold and bring out this section.
 In every instance where the Michi- gan capitalists have invested their money and operate their properties in the southwest they have been sue cessful and up to the present time it can hardly be said that Michigan cap ital has begun to come this way.
 The amount of money which will seek investment in Southeastern Ari- zona and Sonora cannot be estimated and it only remains for the next few years to tell of the wonderful inroads the men of Michigan will make in the great southwest.

shaft. Mr. Roberts has been in Arizpe for several weeks getting his titles and all necessary papers in shape to permit him to proceed with the work and he will push the work with much vigor. The compay is made up of prominent copper men of the lakes and they have no stock of their con- pany on the market for sale.
 The location of the property means a good deal for Douglas as all supplies will be brought here and the man at work will come to Douglas to cash their cheecks and spend their earnings in the line city. The new company means business and are going about their work in a business like manner and will do a great deal to develop this new copper belt.
 Mir. Roberts would not say what the future intentions of the company were and would not go on record as saying They would build their 5n,eEer al. Douglas but told the Review man that this matter would come up later.
 If the new belt is proven to be cop per country the company he repre- sents will not stop at a small plant, but will put in an up to date reduction works second to none il the west. The operations of the new company will be watched with much interest by the people of the entire southwest

LAST CHANGE TO BUY
Stock in the Marquette G Arizona at

Stock in the Marquette & ArIzona at
 $1 Per Share.
 We take the following from a Calu met, Mich, paper. The Marquette < Arizona Co.,, is a result of visit east a few weeks ago by E. Marks, of this city and judging from the following the new company is fast sprilging into prominence Shortly after the first of the year the officers and direc- tors of this company are expected in Bisbee:
 At a meeting of the incorporators of the Nj. & A. Mining company, it was decided that no more applica- tions for stock in said company be re- ceived after December 31 at $1 per share This company is organized under the laws of Arizona with capi- tai stock of 5O0,O00 shares of the par value of % per share fully paid and non-assessable on what might be call ed co-opertive plan that is the origi- nal locators of thirty-seyen valuable claims of twenty acres each in the Warren district, Arizona, in which are located the Copper Queen, one of the richest copper mines in the world, al so the Calumet & Arizona. in which a lot of Michigan people are interested and have had a chance to sell their stock at about ten times what they paid for the same about yea ragO. In the same district are other good miu- ing companies, such as the PittsDurg & Arizona, Lake Superior & Arizona, Bisbee Consolidated and the Copper Glance which is adjoining our proper ty, and we are informed that they have struck good values at a depth of less than 500 feet down which ought to prove the value of the prop erty of the NJ. & A. The above 37 claims are owned by the NJ. & A. com pany, and are all paid for as the To- cators who located some of them over five years ago rather take stock in this company for their holdings than to sell for cash, which fact alone ought to convince us that tne property is O.. K, as their stock is placed in the bank of Bisbee m escrow for IS months so as not to interfere with the sale of the company's treasury stock. There are at preser. applications in for 3,00t shares of this stock. and as it is the intention of the incorporators to sell only 10000 shares of the stock at ST per share which does not leave much more to sell, on January 1st the next allotment will be offered to the public at higher price.

PERSONAL ITEMS OF
 INTEREST ABOUT MINERS


 The Tarr Brothers were practicing yesterday for the big double handed contest 10 come of during the carni- val at Fl Paso. They will start in to practice in dead earnest aftsi' the 1st and will not leave for Fl Paso until the 11th. The boys are husky and scientific, and barring accidents, will make all corners hard to catch at Fl Paso.
 Ross and Malley are getting ready for the Fl Paso event. They are very riaturally great tavoriSes with the mining public who take interest in drilling contests and along with the Tarr boys and others will endeayor to uphold the glory of Bisbee as the home of the champion double handed drillers of the world.
 Charley McGowan, brother of Dan McGowan, the champion single hand driller is practicing for the single hand contest at Fl Paso. Charley is on his eminent good behavior and working like a trojan and the people of Bisbee can afford to repose conf delce in his ability to bring a share of the single hand laurels back to the good old camp.
 T. A. Fulton of Globe, Clifton, and other seaports, came up from Cananea yesterday. He says that the big camp is extensively "On the bum" so far as white mems chances are concerned but predicts better conditions after the business of the company is duly adjusted.

At the Lowell they are driving a large tunnel from the railroad to the shaft where they will establish a land ing station. They will also lay a pipe through the tunnel, through which the water of the mine will be turned into the canyon.
 They will doubtless be compelled to continue hoistIng water with bailers till their pumps have been installed.
 In the meantime the new compart- ment to the shaft is rapidly approach ing completion.

 HAS PUMP ON GROUND.

The big pump for the Calumet & PittsbuTg is now on the ground and soon it will bid good bye to daylight forever. They have not yet complet- ed cutting out the station to accomTo- date the pump, and in the meantime are using the bailers to keep the water down. The pump has about the same capacity as that in the Rolbrook and vii easily command the situation when once in operation. The dump is heaped with piping, tramrails and other material. An electric blower will shortly be put in commisson for the purpose of ventilating the mine. They have also placed small cog hoist in position to handle pipe and other material employed in draining the mine.
 The Pittsburg people have struck a few small punches of sulphide ore in their drifts, but nothing of any con sequence. The C. & P people mean business and all kinds of good things may be expected of them.
