VALUABLE SHIPMENT OF
 ORE FROM DOUGLAS

There was shipped from the Bacoa- chi mine in Sonora through Douglas, Tuesday night, a solid trainloed of gold ore. The train consisted of ten large Santa Fe cars and coptaired something over 1000 sacks. The total value of the ore is understood to be close to a million dollars. One car was valued at $50 900 and did not have the richest ore in it.
 The ore was shipped from the Fl. Pecacho mine located at Bacoachi and owned by some of the directors of Phelps-Dodge & Co.,, New York. The mine has been in legal tangle for over 8 year and only recently clear title was obtained which gave the New York owners full and complete possession of the mine and allowed them to make shipments to the United States.
 For a number of months the Phelps Dodge people have been taking the ore oui of the mine, sacking it and storing it in a large warehouse near the mine, which was always under con stant guard as the ore was known to be very rich, and the Mexicans could not be trusted to keep at safe dis tance without some official protec- tiop.
 On the first of January a new tariff goes into effect which raised the duties on ores shipped out of Mexico to about 40 per cent of their value and the PhelpsDodge people have made all haste to E-t several shipments out in time to avoid the new tariff This will no stop shipments, however, as the mine ts too valuable but work will be pushed with vigor and shipments made through Douglas as fast as pos sible
 The Fl Pecacho mine has a varied history and would take columns to tell, but the Phelps-Dodge company de- serve a great deal of credit for the manner in which they have handled the property and are to be congratu- lated on their good fortune. The open ing Of the Pecacho is the making of a certain gection of mining country tri- butary to their railroad, and is but one of the many valuable mines that will help by bringing great results to both Sonora and southeastern Arizona. A large number of prospectors from Arizona. California, Colorado and Ne vada have gone into this section of the country recently and made new dis coveries of rich mines, which when ! developed will prove to be equally as large as the Pechaco and will add much to the revenues of Sonora and help southeastern Arizona as well.

THE WAY TO SEARCH
 FOR HIDDEN VEINS

The difficulties which beset the path way of the praspector are many. The pioneer of the desert region has many hardships and troubles, but his work, that of searching for veins, is compara- lively easy, for each vein usually out crops strongly, and may be readily traced along the surface. Very diff ferent, however, IS the work of the prospector in the north country, where the mountain sides are densely cover ed with timber, standing and fallen. and thick accumulations of debris, over grown with moss and under brush, hide every vein, often several feet below the surface. The alluvials of the neighboring canyons and gulches may give good evidence that veins exist on the adjacent hilisides, for the placer mines may have proven this to be so, which gives an incentive to the prospector.
 Sometimes in the course Of placer working the miner discovers. a vein crossing the gulch- in the bed rock His method is plain. he follows it into the hill, or sinks a shaft on the rim a. a convenient point, but what of the
 searcher who has not this good fortune?
 In searching for blind veins, system atic work is usually the most expedi- tious and satisfactory, in the long run. The first thing to ascertain. wherever possible, is the true or probable strike of the veins in the district Ordinarily veins in any particular district have an approximate parallelism and the direc, zE -wsf ,.T. n- the strike of the country rock, if the latter it at all slaty of schistose. Where rocks are mostly massive. that is, not siaty nor inclined to be schis- tOse. the vein system is likely to be complex, the strikes running in many directions. Tn the latter case-for- tunately not the most common, the diff faculties of the prospector are multi piled
 Having ascertained the strike of the country rick, which may generally be ! observed in the bottoms of the gulches Of the district, it may be assumed that the greater number of veins coincide with this strike, and prospecting work would then be directed across this strike. The quickest and simplest way 1 to expose blind veins on a mountain side is to sluiee out trenches down the hillside, but this involves the presence of ditch or reservoir above, neither of which are usually found in new dis tricts. In lieu of this, excavation pits must be Tesorted to. The place to begin operations is in the bank at the side of the canyon where it is ex- posed by the stream having cut through it. If good float is found here it should be sought at a point up the hill. If a pit dug several feet up the hillside fails 10 disclose several pieces of similar rock, the probability is that the ore found in the bank at the bottom of the hill did not come

MANY MINING LOCATIONS
 MADE NEAR DOUGLAS

The recent start up Of Michigan capitalists near Nigger Head on the the Sonora side of the line has started a mining boom in the immediate vicin- ity of the new copper country. The Atlas Exploration & Mining company, a Douglas company, owns fine prop erty near here, and will shortly put a .1orce Of sllen to develop their ground.
 The Buena Noche group. owned by James A. Howell. assemblyman from this district. is also under bond to an eastern syndicate, and some fifty odd claims have been taken up near these properties by prospectors within the last few days.
 The ground O. the American side has also been located by a number of miners and they are now busy doing assessment work on their claims The ere is a very. peculiar kind. and some assays have surprised those who have them taken. The ore looks like a burnt iron. Gold is discernable in some specimens brought in. and as says ss high as S14S. have been made.
 The average assays taken from the sIerre de Cob-e are: Gold. S51 50; l; Q 422 ounces. The mine will be worked without interruption. and the Michi- gan people will develop the new field, and have every hope of showing up some fine property in course of time.
 The demand for Atlas stock has been very heavy, but the company has not yet put any on the market since il was taken of on December 18th. This company will begin shipments again from the Pova Rico mine in Sonora shortly
 The American miners have been talk ing their Xmas holidays, and have been spending most of their time in Douglas All of them speak enthusi- astically of the bright prospects of this mine. and say it will. before the year has past, prove to be one of the richest copper.s gold, silver and lead shippers in all Sonora.

Since the earth is mn Oblate spheroid
instead Of a perfect sphere. 1t comes to
pass that it's center IL farther from the
equator than from either pole. The
difference is about thirteen miles. The
Mississippi flows southwark for 30

mouth is about four miles farther from
the earth's center than Mt it's source.
Does it then flow up hill?
This is question which the coast
and geodetic survey in Washington is
frequently asked to answer. The reply
is that cup" means against gravitation
and down with gravitation; hence
the Mississippi does not flow up hill,
although obviously 1t moves. away from
the center Of the. globe. Plumb lines
rarely point directly toward the center

ANCIENT MEDICINES.

some of the Repulsive Remedies
Used by Our Ancestors.
Some Of the remedies used by our
ancestors ought to have been sufficient
to scare away any disease without
their application. Here are q few Of
them: "a halter wherewith any one
has been hanged IL tied about the head
will cure headache. Moss growing up
on human skull If dried and pow
1dered and taken as snuff is no less eff
cacious." DR.. Samuel Turner, who
wrote on diseases Of the skin, notices a
prevalent charm among old women for
the shingles, the blood Of a black cat
taken from it's tail and smeared on the
part affected. The chips Of gallows
tied on string and worn around the
neck are said to have cured ague.
Spiders, as may readily be supposed,
were in great repute as remedies. Bur-
ton, the writer Of the "Anatomy. Of
Melancholy" was at first dubious as to
the efficacy Of the spider as remedy,
though he states that he had seen it
used by his mother, whom he knew to
eyes and aches, till at length" says he,
rambling amongst authors, as often
do, found this very medicine in dos
corides, approved by Matthiolas and
repeated by Aldrovandus. began then
to have better opinion of it,
For stoppiAg hemorrhages all sorts of
things were used. John Bell says that
for this purpose ''they tied live toads
behind the ears or under the armpits
or to the soles of the feet or held them
in the hand till they grew warm. Mi
chael Mercatus says that this effect Of
toads is a truth, which any person will
