THERE are two things that the whole
L medical profession agree about con-
cerning catarrh. The first is that ca
t&rrhis the mostpreYalent and omnipres-
emit disease to which the people In the
United States are subject. All classes
Of people have 1t. Those who stay IN
doors much ard tho.s WIN go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
eedentary classes have It.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever-present foe. It compli-
Gates nearly every disease he Is called
upon to treat
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that 1t is diff
ficult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure per-
manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to

is as if we exposed one Of the great

Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1904-05-18

In the center of the stage we're the
forty three musicians, in their quiet
uniforms of cardinal trimmed blne,
waiting for their leader and the onset
of the melodious fray.
The opening number was the gor-
geous overture to civilian Tell, $"
most spectacular in its theatric mag
nificence of all Rossini's preludes,
and eminenty adapted to show off the
brilliant Threats of the Italian instru-
ments. 1t is safe to say that most of
those who listened we're quite unpre-
pared for what they heard. They had
expected to hear a good band-doubt-
less a band of even unusual merit
but from such far away town can
any great good come unsteady? The
question was answered in the first
twenty bars of the Tell overture, and
as the trumpet led storm of brazen
song rushed cyclonically to the crash
ing phrases of the great finale, men
and women, too-rose to their feet
even from far corners of the house
and led the applause with voices,
and hands.
The Lucia" sextette perhaps the
very best "show piece" of the band,
brought forth the greatest enthusiasm
of the evening. AS little Palma led
the redoubtable six down the plat
form the veterans among the hearers
started the spatting crackle along the
outer skirmish line, and their signal
was the keynote to attention among
the rest.

Will Row to Worlds Fair.

Rowing a whale boat $500 miles is
the big undertaking which fourteen
men have determined upon in order
to reach the Worlds Fair. They are
members of the New Jersey naval re-
serves and will start in a doublebank
whaleboat from Pittsburg following
down the Ohio river to its mouth and
thence up the Mississippi to st. Louis.
On their return the naval reserves
will row down the Mississippi to New
Orleans and then take a steamer for
New York. They have a cook in the
party and will camp out along the
rivers at night and ply their oars all
day. About three months will be
given to the round trip and the stop
at the Worlds Fair.

ENGINE CRASHES
INTO CABOOSE
Railroad Accident Near
Skull Valley
Walter Packard Loses Leg-FirSt
Serious Accident Which Has
Happened on Road.

The S. F. p. & P. railroad has had
most remarkable success in the opera
ton of its trains so far as the safety
of its passengers has been concerned.
Commencing operating eleven years
ago this month, it has never had an
accident causing the death of a pas
senger during all of these years
The most serious accident which has
ever happened to a passenger occurred
yesterday afternoon about five miles
north of Skull valley station. Train
No. 3, the south bound freight, in
charge Of Conductor Beck S. Detwiler
bad stopped to unload some timbers
for a bridge. In the caboose were
thirteen passengers. Engine No. 8,
in a charge of Engineer Thorne, run
ming light, was following the freight,
and while .he latter was standing
still at this bridge the light engine
crashed into it, virtually throwing the
caboose on its forward end.
There was hasty scramble among
the passengers to get out OF the ca
boose, and all succeeded in doing so
with but small injuries except Walter
Packard, of Cline, Arizona. He at
tempted to escape through the front
door of the caboose and just about
the time he reached the platform the
caboose tipped up on end and one leg
was caught between it and the car
next to it and so badly mashed and
manQled that amputation just below
the knee was necessary. He was
brought to Mercy hospital in Prescott
where the operation was performed.
The responsibility for the accident
has not yet been fixed by the officials
of the road. The grade clear from
Iron Springs summit to the upper
end of Skull valley is about three per
cent, the place where the accident
happened being on such grade. 1t
is said that Conductor Detwiler had
sent n flag man out to warn the ap-
preaching engine of the presence of
the train on this grade.
The caboose is said to have been
completely wrecked. An investiga-
tion is being made of the cause of the
accident.

MINING INTELLIGENCE

The last 300 foot contract on the
Old Mesa Gold company's tunnel has
been completed. The total length of
the tunnel now is 675 feet. According
to careful measurements it Is esti-
mated that the ledge, for which the
tunnel is being driven into the side
of the mountain should be encounter
ed at distance not greater than 500
feet. If this estimate is correct it
would leave only 125 feet to be opened
up yet, or less than one fifth the
distance already run. Work on the
tunnel will be prosecuted vigorosly
right away again either through the
letting of another contract or by days
work. The lc..~- 49, --:Il ---'--l,r--

COPPER QUEEN
Mining Tax Case in
COChiSe County.
Has Been in the Courts For Over
Three Years Without Any
Results.

| The famous tax suit between Coch-
Use county and the Copper Queen
company has been compromised and
/ litigation in the case has been
brought to an end, settlement hay-
ing been effected and the board of
supervisors ordered a dismissal of
further action against the company.
Superintendent Walter Douglas, of
the Copper Queen company, appeared
before the board, submitting an offer
of his company to compromise the tax
case pending by paying Cochise coun-
ty 5000 and agrees to raise of valua-
ton of all patented mines of the
company to $3.50 per acre from 80
per acre as fixed by the company in its
original assessment The board ac-
copied the proposition and agreed
to a dismissal of the case in the
courts.
The tax case against the Copper
Queen was started in 1901 and test
was made by the county to place
valuation on the patented mines of
the company known to be valuable.
The patented mines we're assessed at
500 each In the case of the Hol-
brook and Spray mines, the raised
valuations we're placed at 81, 600, 600
each. Other mines of the company
we're raised to $50, 600, and improve
rnents, ETC., we're also raised, the to-
tai raise footing So, 4s4, S95. The case
was stubbornly fought legal battle,
Attorneys English, Mcfarland and
Land appearing for the county, while
Colonel william Herring appeared for
the company. In the district court
none of the raises on the value of
mines we're allowed by Judge Davis,
but decision of 1865, 395 On improve
ments, merchandise, etc., was allow
ed, the decision favoring the county
to the extent of 500, SS9. q in taxes.
This the company paid and the county
appealed to the supreme court to get
a ruling on the valuations of the pat
tented mines. The supreme court
dismissed the case last month and
ordered a new trial. The case thus is
practically where it started, and after
three years. expensive litigation the
question of legality is not established.
This consideration influenced the
board to consider compromise, which
was effected. By the settlement, the
company's taxes amount to total of
SIS, 722. SO.
The $4,000 compromise will cover
the expense of the litigation had, and
a raise of s32. 80 per acre of the COM
pany's mines will make basis for
future assessments until the next leg
isIature enacts a bullion tax law,
which appears to be the only remedy
to reach the real value of producing
patented mines.

PRESCOTT MAN
HAS INVENTED
An Important Mining
Apparatus.
Confronted By Necessity, Lon Hall
Makes a Machine That Success
fully Separates Shines.

The old saying that necessity is the
mother of invention, has again been
exemplified. One of the problems
that has always been vexatious
to mining and mill men has been the
separation of the shines from the
heavy pulp. In concentrating it has
been the problem of how to save the
values from the shines without losing
the values in the heavy pulp and how
to save the heavy without losing the
shines. Very often this has been the
cause of failure of mining companies
where the ore carried good values, and
there have been many attempts made
to devise means to separate these two
parts of the pulp so that each might
be concentrated alone.
Rhis was the case with Lon Hall,
we'll known Prescott mining man,
who is general manager of the Alma
mine on Groom creek. He was con-
fronted with the above problem and
began to study out a plan for a sepa-
rator or pulp sizer and classifier.
He spent about three months in
planning and testing different means
and 6nally hit upon just !the thing.
He quietly went to work and built
machine that is the acme of simplicity
and cheapness yet it gives every
promise of being a revoIutionizer in
the milling business.
One of the separators was made and
installed in the Home Run mill few
days ago aud J. NJ. Nissen, superin-
tendent of the mine informs the Jour
nal Miner that it works to perfection.
The separator consists of a contIn-
uous belt of screen that may be of any
mesh desired This belt is about nine
or ten feet long and when passing
around the two cylinders at each end
of the table requires a table about
six feet long. The pulp is discharged
from the battery or mortar into
pipe which ends in 7 shaped pipe,
over this slowly moving belt, where it
is evenly discharged upon the screen.
Beneath the screen is a pan which
catches the shines or very fine pulp
and conveys it through a discharge
pipe onto concentrating table where
it can be concentrated by itself. The
oversize passes Cd around and under
the belt of screen and there is a spray
er inside which washes The belt per
fectly clean as it passes around. The
oversize or the heavy pulp is caught
in another pan and conveyed onto an
other table where it can be concen-
trated without interference Of the
shines. If it is desired to make more
than two separations another table
can be added with different mesh
screen, and so on indefinitely as many
separations as is desired.
The machine is very simple of con-
struction and operation and requires
but little power to run it. Mr.. Hall
has made an application for a patent
and will place them on the market.
The machines will be built, for the
present at least, by Brown Brothers
of this city, where they may be seeG
by those who are interested in this
matter. The invention ought to make
Mr.. Hall rich and at the same time
be great boon to the mining indus
try.
