CALUMET AND BISSEE.

The Calumet and Bisbee at a depth
of $50 feet is showing too much water
for convenience and almost any day It
is expected that Superintendent Tur
ner will discontinue his sinking opera
tons and start TO drifting with every
assurance that he viii not have far to
go before he will encounter the ore body
that lies only a feW hundred feet from
him in the Lake Superior and Pitts
burg property. better known in this
locality as the "Old South Bisbee"
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Beeler of this
company were in the city yesterday
apd stated that the formation in the
bottom of the Calumet and Bisbee was
extremely soft and was good looking
ledge matter containing black man
games and so soft that it was easy
picking.
I'VE had not intended starting any
drift" said Mr.. Turner. until the
1000 foot level had been reached but
the increase of water may force us to
alter our plans"
1t is n we'll known fact about town
that the Calumet and Bisbee is making
a splendid showing and that with the

TittemOre had taken from her during
his call. She valued her kisses at $40
each, which. with costs. brought the
total amount up to $4,000. But the
jury assessed the value of her kisses
at S2.37 each, and added costs which
brought the total up 10 $4,000.
The Illinois rate was fixed by n
Chicago justice when he fined a youth
$25 for stealing a kiss from pretty
girl.
1t is a relief to turn from these sor-
did decisions TO the liberality of the
California courts.
When Miss Marian Green sold kiss
for $125 the courts promptly backed
up her contention that it was worth
every bit of the money. The sale was
made at a San Francisco party of
which Miss Green was the belle. While
the merriment was at its height it was
proposed to hold a kissing auction.
Among the men present were P. T.
Doolan and DR.. a. c. Hicks. Doolan
was in a generous mood and he aston
ished those present by announcing his
willingness to pay 800 for a kiss from
Miss Green. She promptly delivered
the goods and accepted his note for
the amount.
Then DIR Hicks, who did not have
any money but who considered that
his note was as good as Mr.. DOolan's
offered $125 for the same commodity
and again the delivery took place at
once. Those present say that the doc
tors signature was so illegible that
Miss Green made him write it again.
In due time the note found it's way in
to the hands of D. A Curtin. who sued
on it, When the justice got to the
facts he solemnly decided that the
note was binding and he entered judg-
ment accordingly.
OF course, when the courts had per-
mitted a girl to recover S125 for kiss.
Miss Katherine Smith of Pasadena.
found no difficulty in forcing Thomas
James to pay ST. to her when she
placed the modest valuation of her
kisses at 81 apiece.
1t appears that a bazaar was held at
a small town near Pasadena, the pro-
ceeds of which were to go toward the
building of a school house. There are
many women in the district and it was
suggested by some of the plain ones
that it would be a good way to in
crease the financial condition of things
| by putting up few choice kisses for
auction.
| The sale was an immense success
and things went off to the satisfaction
of every one with the exception of two
/ elderly women whose kisses were put
at cents dozen and then withdrawn
owing to their being no bidders. Every
! gentleman honorably paid cash down
excepting Mr.. James. who after hav-
( ing II kisses from the pretty lips OF
! Miss Smith, announced he had come
/ away without his purse, but that if 4
/ dollar would cancel the debt he would
/ be pleased to hand it over to the treas
urere of the baZar. Miss Smith brought

great as to be with difficulty understood
Arizona's production of lead for the
year 1901 is reported by the same au-
thority at 4045 short tons, whereas for
the year 1902 is was only 599 short
tons. Comparing the latter with the
previous figures it might be said that
lead mining in Arizona has practically
ceased.
No explanation of this very extra =
ordinary decrease is given beyond what
is stated in Mr.. Kirchoff's Introductory
in which he says: Under the influence
Of lower range of prices for lead. as
sisted in the case of the Rocky Noun
tain district by low returns for the
accompanying silver, the lead-mininS
industry did rot prosper in 1902 as
much as other branches of metal min
ing. The principle cause was that i'm the
previous years a very large stock of
lead had accumulated. This was sue
cessfully worked off during 1902. which
was a year of enormous consumption
in all the metals. Under the Circum-
stances the fact that production was
as large in 1902 as it was in 1901 is
encouraging, but there has been some
shifting of the territorial source of
production. Relatively, the Mississippi
region has gained in Importance, show
ing an increase in output at the ex-
pense of the Rocky Mountain districts,
which declined in proportion.
The total lead production for the
United States for the year 1902 is re-
ported at 2S0,797 short tons. Idaho was
the largest producer with S4.742 tons
Utah being second and Colorado third
on the list.-Mining Review.

c. @. SHELTERS REMAIN.
Two New Furnaces Put in Place Last
Week at 3isbee.

In the beginning of 1903 it was con-
fidentiallv predicted by those in au-
thority to offer predictions that before
the close of the year the smelters at
Douglas, those belonging to Phelps
Dodge and Co, would be in operation
and Bisbee would be a mining camp
and nothing more says the Bisbee Re
view. The prediction has not come to
pass. Furthermore the officials of the
Copper Queen Co. are rather shy in
making any new ones for 1904.
Quite 4 furry was created around
town on Wednesday when it became
known that the two furnaces had ar
rived in Bisbee and were being INSTALL
ed in the Copper Queen plant. Inquiry
at the office proved that this was the
case and that the two furnaces had
become a necessity before the new
plant was put in operation.
The policy of the Copper Queen for
the past six months has been to patch
up the old smelter at this point but
the long delay in the completion of th,
new Plant at Douglas has made the
purchase of the new furnaces for this
point a necessity at the close of 1903
The unlocked for delay on the con
struction work at Douglas has been
caused principally by the inability of
the eastern manufacturers to furnish
material as rapidly as required and it
now looks that the spring time will
have arrived and almost passed before
the black smoke will be rolling from
the Copper Queen Smelter at Douglas
Even after the big plant in the .smelt-
er city is completed the plant at this
point will not be dismantled for sew =
eral months as every part of the big
reduction works at Douglas viii be
tested before the fires are drawn at
Bisbee.
! Douglas should feel an impetus in
its business life Immediately the biz
plant is in operation. After everything
is in running order custom ores will
be received from several mining dis
tricts, the principle base of supply be-
ing the rich Sonora district just south
of the line. Already several small own
ers in this district are making prepar-
atoms for shipping ore to Douglas
during the coming new year

WESTERN KISSES COST MUCH
Osculatory Bliss Comparatively Cheap
In the Effete Feast.

What is the value of a kiss? Most
men would say that it depends upon
the beauty and piquancY of the kisses;
but, while the statement hardly admits
of dispute, what is here meant is
the legal value. The legal value it
may be said. should closely follow the
commercial value, but many persons
are of the opinion that. until the COM
mercial value has been more closely
defined than it is now. the courts
should get together and fix upon some
standard of legal value, so that man i'll
the future may have some idea of the
proposition he faces when allured by
the rosebud lips of a maiden.
The necessity for the fixing of such
a standard is shown by the increasing
number of suits that are being brought
to recover for kisses delivered and by
the wide divergence of the decisions of
the courts of various states as to their
value.
In this state for instance. the value
of kiss has just been fixed by the
courts at the extremely low rate of
$2.37. while in Illinois the rate is $25
and in California is S125. Granting
that some kisses are sweeter than
others, the fact remains. which few
will dispute. that there can be no such
real difference in them as is implied
by the range between the legal valua-
tons 1927 and 1925
Many may think that the California
rate of 1925 is too high but it certainly
is likely to make one blush for the En-
pire state that it's courts should have
such a mean opinion of it's girls as to
decide that their kisses are worth only
$2.37. This rate was fixed this month
by the appellate division of the SUI
preme court sitting in Albany.
The case was that of Miss Francis
Petit against John Fillmore, the village
blacksmith of Galway, Saratoga county
and the appellate division confirmed
the decision of the lower court in
which a jury had awarded Miss. Petit
$4,000. The fair plaintiff testified at
the trial that i'll the last fourteen years
Tittemore had kissed her 1926 times.
In support of the statement she produc-
ed her dairy in which she had entered
every night the number of kisses

THE YEARS COPPER.
An Increase of From Seven to Eight
Per Cent Over Output of 1902.

The copper production OF the Lake
Superior region for the year just clos
ing Q903) car now with fairly good
accuracy be stated says the L. a. Min
ing Review Estimating the present
months production at 16,SOS,95S
pounds the total for the year would be
1979O1,24 pounds.
This is just about 22OOOOOO pounds
short of the estimates made at the
close Of the first quarter of the year
equivalent to IL Ito per cent less than
those estimates
From Montana there is nothing of a
reliable character upon which to base
any estimate. The only certain thing
known is that Montana's production
of copper for the year 1903 will prove
to be considerably less than il would
have been had it not been for the shut
down of the Amalgamated Company's
Washoe smelter during the summer
months and the more recent shut down
of couple of weeks of all of that COM
pany's smelling plants in Montana
These two shut-downs have caused
restriction of the copper production
Of that state of $4,000. 900 pounds of
copper. If to that quantity there be
added the shortage of $4,000. OO0
pounds on estimates of Lake Superior
production you have a total shortage
of 100000 pounds on what might
have been, the equivalent'of per cent
on the total production in the United
States of 659,5o752O pounds in 1902.
In view of such figures we are
prompted to repeat now what we
wrote and printed in this paper on
September II last that the production
Of copper in the United States will not
be greater than from to per cent
for the year 1903 over that of 1902. The
increase, whatever it may prove to be.
will come from these sources: New
production of Calumet and Arizona
mine, Arizona; an increase of about
2S.O00,0O0 pounds in Lake Superior
production. and increased production
in Utah.

in the long tunnel on his property on
the Hassayampa. Mr.. hubert has been
working on his tunnel for several years
and it is in something over 500 feet
and the last hundred feet that the tun-
mel has been run the formation is full
of strirgers and punches OF copper ore
which gave strong indication that a
body of ore would be struck before
long.

Some interesting Mining Notes.

The machinery for the new ten stamp
mill at the Hidden Treasure groUo Of
mines, owned by the Stark Mining
company on lower Turkey creek. ar
rived in Prescott this week and was
forwarded on to the property immed-
lately where a force Of men under the
direction of w. w. Elliot Will be put
in place at once, the mill building hav-
ing been completed several days ago.
The battery of two so horse power
Frost boilers which arrived some days
ago is also set i'm solid masonry and
ready to steam UP. The new mill is
of the regulation five gravity stamp
batteries, there being two of these
batteries. The process to be used on
the ore at present will be amalgama-
ton and cyaniding. The cyanidiug
plant will have a capacity of about 20
tons each twenty four hours. While
it is expected that the mill will be
ready to start up by January 10, on
account of delays in getting the tanks,
of which there will be ten, ready for
the cyaniding plant this part of the
mill will not be ready for operation
before the first of February. The
hosting plant has been delayed some
in shipping and has not arrived yet
although it is expected within a few
days. The hoist house, gallows frame
and everything is in readiness to set
the machinery in place and begin
hosting the hundreds of tons of high
grade ore that has been blocked out in
the mine, and already to be broken
down and loaded into the skip. The
new hoist will have a capacity of
sinking to a depth of 700 or 500 feet.
The company is putting in a first class,

that will be permanent, as they expect
to work the property in a legitimate
