Another eusher b the ehs Valley.

On Thursday afternoon MesSrs. Sis son & Young struck phenomenal flow of water on their ranch, eight miles above Solomonville, in the Cienega valley, in what is known as the Arte Siau belt.
 The well had been driven Co a depth of 207 feet, and on Thursday afternoon last the great water body was tapped aud through fOur-inch casing ever since then there has been flowing l20, e 900 gallons of pure, fresh and spark ling water every twenty-fOur hours, and the water runs down the valley as far as SatTord.
 Mir. Young is enthusiastic over the well, and says it is the finest in the territory. MeSsrs SiSSon X Young own several hundred acres of land in the Cicnega valley, and will sink an. other well on their property With the increased supply of water that they hope to obtain from the new well they will be able to irrigate nearly all of their farm and will plant the land to hay and alfalfa Bulletin.

Extending the Use of Copper

A bit of interesting news in connec. tiou with the extending use of copper Is the announcement that the Metal Plated Car & Lumber company, of New York, has been awarded con tract for shea thing 300 ears for the new underground railroad with cop per in it's natural color The adyan. tIges of the system are claimed Go be protection of wood against fire and saving in maintenance as compared with painting and vanishing. Sevcra copper-sheathed ,ars were put on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad some years ago, and a few were tried on other roads. Those oL the New Haven road gave very satis- factory results, showing conSidera. ble saving in maintenance, as claimed, iu comparison with painted cars. The copper Sheathing quickly became oxi- dized in use, and showed uniform neutral tint. The main reason why more cars were not sheathed was the rise in the price Of copper, which fol- lowed soon after the first cars were built. Engineering & Mining Journal

More pulpits Than Pastors.

The Rev. Dr. H. K. Carroll, the gov.
 ernmenDs church statistician of 1900,
 reports that nearly every religious
 body in America has more churches
 than ordained men." Pulpits multi.
 ply while pastors decrease. Ministers of all bodies number l47,1l3 and in- crease slowly. On the other hand, the churches number l94,ll6 and increase fast. Why, With $26O,OOO, GOO year spent as Dr. Carroll tells us, in main taining churches, is the supply of pas tors so noticeably declining? The au- swer, in part at least. is perhaps tur- nished by the Rev. Dr, E. NJ. Mills, of Springfield, Mass, in the World. Ex- plaining his plan for raising a $j 100000 fund for Methodist ministers, he tells how thousands of them are living on starvation salaries of $3OO and $l0O q year, and the same is measurably true in other denomination. - New York World.

THE UNITED VERDE FIRE
Was Extinguished Through the Efforts of John
 Aermsn, Chemist.

The fire in one part of the mine, that
 which caused the three months shut
 down, has been successfully fought
 and is now out. The fire which has
 been burning for years and which is
 nearer the older workings in the mine
 it is thought, is now under control
 These are facts given out by officials of the United Verde Copper company and all this good work is due to the skin of MT. John Herman, chemist. When he came to Jerome they were handling the fire with indifferent sue cess. Chemist Herman reconstructed the carbonic acid gas plants which had been in use, and proceeded to sue cesSfully subdue the new fire and get the old one under con troi. and for this work the companyS cfli0ialS at the mine give him all due credit and honor.
 Mir. Herman came to Jerome during the latter part of November, about SIX or seven weeks ago, for the purpose of opening an assay otliGe, chosing Je- rome because 1t was in the center of a copper district, he having a patented process for treating ores, under letters patent No. TOT l07, dated August lg, l 1902, He could better introduce his new process from here, it being a teaching proposition.
 Mr. Herman is about 23 years of age | and came to Arizona from Canon City, l Colorado, where he was for two years l aSsayer and chemist for the Copper King Mining company. He is a grad | ua.e of the department of chemistry | in the University of Nebraska, and | carries very hattering letters Of rec ommendatiOn.--Jerome Mining News. !

According 10 the report compiled by the New York metal exchange there has been an increase in the production of copper for the year just closed. The figures for 1902 are 293,s3O tons, as compared with 2G6, 7l5 tons in 1901 Adding the net impOrtations of for eign copper, the total for lg02is 3Gs, 757 tons, as compared with 32S, ,0O2 in 1901. The expectations, however, have been nearly doubled In 1902 the total ex- ports of copper were l6S 43j, against 3S. 94l in 1901. Consumption also in creased, probably on account of the low prices, and it is estimated thas the country consumed 2O3, GOO tons last year, compared with l69,OOO tons D 1901. Summing up the results Of the year the statement shows that the stocks at the mines, on transportl- tiOn, aJ rehnerieS and in warehouse $ are estimated to be l33, sl3 tons at u e end Of the year.

large Capital Reaulred in Mining.

One of the main elements of success in ledge mining is capital and plenty of it. While farming, manufacturing merchandising and many other branches of industry may begin in a small way with a limited capital of but few hundred dollars, and gradu. ally develop into great enterprises, ledge mining nearly always requires the expenditure Of many thousands before a point is reached where the business becomes even self-SuppOrting. In most branches of industry it is pos Sible tO realize small profits from the start, but in mining, especially in low grade, rebelllous ores, profit comes only after the expenditure of what may be considered fortune. Hence the fiuanciering of d mining propoSi. tiou becomes one Of the chief featuree in the success of the enterprise. Journal for Investors.

Last night at twelve o'clock
William Biggers, the proprietor of
the Fishers Hotel, formerly of
Mexico, was robbed of a hundred
dollars by his clerk, says the
Moberly Monitor. This clerk who
had been working for MIR. Biggers
only about three weeks, was
named George Monroe. Last
night he was on duty and while
Mr.. Biggers was asleep he made
raid on the treasury. The first
intimation that the proprietor had
that anything was wrong was af-
ter midnight when a travelling man
came upstairs aud woke him up.
Mr.. Biggers asked about his clerk
aud was told that he was not down
stairs and that the front doors were
standing open and the lights were
out. He dressed and came down
stairs and found that Monroe had
broken into the place where the
money was kept. One hundred
dollars and a grip belonging to a
travelling man were gone Tele
grams were sent in all directions,
but up to this hour the thief hat
not been caught.

That Seems to Be the Fate
of Old Man Gartreli.

The following is clipped from
the Butler Democrat:
In running over our proceedings
of the county court at its recent
adjourned term the item of con-
tract being let for the building of
scaffold and stockade for the
hanging of DR.. Cartrell causes a
shudder to creep over one's frame.
There seems to be no doubt that
the execution will take place and
at the time set-April II, as it is
believed there is no reason to hope
for the Governor S clemency in the
case.
1t is a fearful thing to contem-
plate-the spectacle Of an old
man, the father of grown sons
and daughters Of highly respected
standing, condemned to die on the
scatfold, but so it must be. There
certainly has been left no stone by
the defense to save him and his
lawyers deserve credit for their
strenuous effort as does the prose-
cution for the able manner in which
the case was conducted.
