Birthday Feast.

Last Friday w. I. Hart celebrated
his 3Sth birthday by giving dinner to
number of his friends. To those who
know Mr.. Hart and his good wife it is
not necessary to say that a feast was
prepared that made one leave the table
angry because he could not eat more.
"Beefy" carries his years gracefully
and his many friends join The COMET
in wishing him many happy returns of
the season. Those present we're: J.
A. Vines, DR.. W. T. Kennedy. G.. +.
Artz, d. A. Vines, J. W. Willard, and
"Chubby" Galliher. The boys pre-
sented "Beefy" with beautiful low
ing jug, filled and appropriately label
ed. Burr" Millard delivered the to-
ken Of esteem in his inimitable man
ner and while Mr.. Hart was respond
ing, blinded by tears of gratitude, and
while "Chubby" Galliher and Jim
Vines were scrapping as to who should
apply the corkscrew, DIR. Kennedy
opened the neck and bled it to death.

The Weather.

The weather man is giving us va.
riety Of weather and we can't tell
whether we are entering or leaving
winter. Wednesday snow fell practic-
ally all day and the surrounding noun
tains are covered with thick mantle
of white. The clouds disappeared
shortly after dark and the heaviest
frost of the entire winter covered the
earth. Apple blossoms went to sleep
under snow blanket and the fruit
crop is still further in doubt. People
with good memory will recall that
three years ago on the same day, April
30, heavy snow fell in this section.
That year we had some fruit and we
will have some this year.

COPPER IN THE SOUTHWEST
Prof. Douglas Tells of Increase in
 Arizonas Output.

The following contribution on the Ari- zona copper situation was written by Professor James Douglas in the last number of the Engineering and Min ing Journal:
 The copper industry of southern Ari- zona during the year 1903 has been ac- tive and prosperous. The older com panies have maintained their produc- tiOn. and that of the new companies, the Calumet and Arizona Mining com pany, the Shannon Copper company and the Black Diamond have increased their output. If the two copper works in northern Sonora, near the Ameri- can line, whose output reaches the American market over American rail- roads, be included in the copper pro- ductiOn of the southwest, the total production during the year 1903 is ap- proXimately S0.000 tons. Of this amount about 26,GC tens is due to the produc- tiCn of the Greene Consolidated Cop per company and the Moctezuma com pany in Sonora. The United Verde is not included; the production is sup posed to be normal, and improvements al that mine aim at giving greater fa- cilities for hOisting and handling ere and countera citing the damage done ty the fire which has for years retalde operations.
 In the Bisbee district there has been great activity, some two dozen com panies outside the Copper Queen be- ing engaged in more or less active de- velopmeat. The only one of these com panies which is increasing the Arizona production is the Calumet and Arizona, whose srnelting works at Douglas have turned out approximately F 900 tons in 1903. But another new com pany, the Lake Superior and Pitts burg, which bought the property of the South Bisbee company, has encOunter- ed a large body of OXidized ore on the 1000-foot level, and will probably add somewhat to the production of 1904 The large Douglas works of the Cop per Queen company will be in opera tion before the year closes, but though their capacity will approach 2,00O tons a day when running full, their sup ply will be drawn not only from the property of the Copper Queen mine but from the Montezuma Copper com pany's mine in Sonora, The United Globe mines, and other properties con- trolled by the same company.
 The prospects, therefore, are that the contribution from Arizona in 1904 will be slightly greater than in 1903, unless operations are curtailed by la bor troubles. either in Arizona itself or in the coal mines whence Arizona draws her fuel supply, or by catastro- phes w:ich one cannot forsee.

Big Gold Strike on Apache Creek.

For some time past rumers have been coming in of a big gold strike on Apache Creek in the Mayfiower dis trict. From W. A. Pitt and J. P. BigelOw, who returned from there this week, the Era is enabled to give the following facts:
 The discovery was made by Oliver Merrill, Al Higgins and Messrs. Gillis, Frazier and another old time prospec- tor of that section. The lead will ave- rage four feet in width, and can be traced for ten miles. every foot of which has been located. The gold values average s135 across the entire lead, though many specimens can be had which show free gold and are very rich. All of the rock pans well. The fortunate owners are now taking out ore, and will make their first shipment this week.
 Much excitement prevails in the dis trict, and prCspectors are flocking in. The discovery was kept quiet for some time until the locators and. their friends secured all they wanted of the lead This discovery will be the awakening of renewed mining activity in the Mayflower district, which is rich in copper as well as gold The district is well watered and timbered, and accessible to wagons.

 Any person suffering from an ail- ment of any character Prof Lamar will guarantee to perfectly and per manetly cure without the use Of medicine or obnoxious drugs, and thousands of unsolicited testimonials demonstrate this fact. Sufferers from chronic ong-standing diseases, those whom medical doctors have failed even to relieve, specially invited tc call or write.

THE cERRo PRIETo.
The Central Figure in a Rich Sonora
 Mining District.

The recent sale of the famous Cerro Prieto mines in the Magdalena dis trict. by the Crenoweths to Colby N. Thomas and other Chicago capitalists for s6000OO, and the regular monthly shipments of bullion from the Emper- or caTn, have been the principal factors in that particular section in working up quite a boom. The Ger TO Prieto mill is to be increased from 20 to 120 stamps. capable of treating 200 tons daily. The Caliche Mountain Mining company. consisting of Tenor Bros. and other Calumet ana Arizona stockholders. are working a property 12 miles from Cerro Prieto up on which are three lodges, traceab.e for 300 feet averaging to feet wide. carrying S12 to $30 gold. It is reported that w. c. Greene has offered a good price for the control of this property, and that he has had Professor Robert T. Hill, the geologist, and Ed Massey, the expert. to make an examination of the property. It is in this section that Richard G;rd and R. c. Davis bought within the last month a half interest in the La Higuera group. near Cucurpe, and ordered a ten-stamp mill for the property. Numerous other gold proper ties are under option and much Amer ican capital seems ready to take hold of this class of mines.-Bisbee eRview.
