Timing News Reported by the Ari-
 zona Blade

The big station pump in the Supe- rior shafG got drowned out Monday, owing to shortage of steam, and the water raised to height of 200 feet in the shaft. The battery of main boil CTS was being cleaned aud the two small boilers being used did not fur nish sufficient steam. Work in the shaft will be suspended a few days till the lower levels can be pumped out.
 A Michigan paper states that F. S.. Carlton, president of the Lake Supe- rior & Arizona Mining X Smelling company, has resigned. MT. Carlton presented his resignation some time ago. No action has been taken by the directors, but it is understood that a meeting of the board will be held in a week or two when successor to MT. Carlton will be elected.
 Tom Hall and Harry Lane have made two important strikes, one on a gold aud one on a copper property. In the latter property in sinking winze in tunnel they have uncovered a 8. foot vein of copper sulphldes of good grad ,and on the gold claim at a depth of 70 fset in a shaft sunk on the vein they have feet Of SIP gold ore in an iron. staired, honey-combed quartz. Their other properties are also show ing up well. They are hard working men and deserve all of their good luck.
 A letter from Troy states that J. l. Coleman and l.. w. Higgins have at- taiued depth of 100 feet on their gold property and have developed 20 feet of ore that averages about $20 in gold per ton and from to 3 per cent copper. At the bottom of the incline the ore is copper carbonate and sul- phides, thoroughly impregnated with gold. Some samples of the ore, states the letter, go as high as $l0,000 per ton in gold. The letter furGher states that the owners will soon commence shipping ore to the Troy Manhattan shelter, which is distant only one and one-half miles.

 The Boston correspondent of the mining Gazette says: Treasurer Hagen Of the shannon Copper company is reported to be booked for the presi. dency of the corporation at it's coming annual meeting. The output of the Shannon mine, by the way, in the month of October, exceeded by con. siderable 1,OOO,O0 pounds.

 An exchage says: It looks now as if the long waiting and patient cop per shareholders, who have been hop ing for just what is coming about, would be able to indulge, during the coming winter, in some of their old time luxuries. Seal skin cloaks and diamonds may become more popular than they have been for several years past among the people who have suf- fersd from the market setbacks.
 Horace J. Stevens, the Michigan copper authority, says; "The Arizona fever shows no signs of abatement, al- though some of the local companies have made failure of matters. The quarterly dividend disbursements of the Calumet X Arizona, coupled with the finding of new and rich ore bodies every few days in neighboring mines, keep the market active, and the ten dency Is toward higher prices. The Calumet & Arizona is fitting it's sec ond shaft with hOisting gear, and in view of the fact that the mine is now making 30,000,00O pounds of copper yearly from single shaft-which no other mine is doing, or ever has done in the past-the importance of the new shaft can be seen."
 Superintendent Climo of the Shan non Copper company has had ex tensive experience ia Arizona mines. He is thoroughly familiar with Ya- vapai county, having been here be- fore aud visited several of the pro. pertieS. His visit here now has been for the purpose of getting data regard. ing certain property, which may be sold as a result. 'I have learned a great many things about mining in Arizona" said Superintendent Climo before leaving yesterday morning. "One of them is that there is more money made out of low-grade propo. sitions than out of the ledges that fur. nish sensational assays. have found it much easier to interest eastern and foreign capital in big lodges or de- posits of lowgrade ore than in the big strikes which are heard of today, aud after tomorrow forgotten forever."-- Herald.

Last month 1000 tons of ore was ship ped from these mines to the smelter at Needles.
 Heavy machinery and four-inch water pipes are being hauled out to tho Gold Road mill. The indications are that in short time the mill will be one of the largest aud best equip ped plants on the Pacific coast. The great output of the mine has made necessary many important additions to the reduction plant.
 Report has it that negotiations are under way for the taking over of the Arizona & Utah railroad by the Gug. genheims. The big smelter firm is negotiating for the Tennessee and other lead mines of the Chloride coun- try and propose to provide themselves with cheap transportation facilities to the main line of the Santa Fe, from which point the Santa Fe offers low rates to the smelling centerS in Colo rado and Texas. Should this firm come into the Chloride country it will mean great deal for mining, as they will purchase the ores from the smaller mines at good rates and ship with their own output.
 Tuesday last the compressor ma chinery for the Samoan mine was hauled out to Chloride by team. L. Hoffman, superintendent of the pro- perty looked after the shipment and will at once have 1t installed at the mine. It is proposed to set up this machinery and begin on deep work at the mine as soon as possible, prepar- ing for a large output as soon as the railroad is again put in commission. The machinery consisted of & 30 horse power Witte gas engine and com presSor, together with three hammer air drills. The capacity is sufficient to operate large drill in connection with the smaller drilling machines. The company has l50 tons of rich ore at the Chloride depot, which they are unable to ship owing to the failure of the railroad to operate.

I see The TINES correspondent at
New Zion puts pretty good phase 10
the bill introduced in the Senate to
transport judges free, l see also where
a bill was introduced to change the sal
ary of Supreme Court Justices from
$3.50 to ), 800 with the excuse that it
costs more to live now than when the
general salary bill was passed. This
bill went to its third reading at So, 900.
I wonder what kind of ism" this bill
is: hope none OF our delegation was in
this push.

Everything here is quite festive on
account OF NNashington's birthday: Inc
streets are lively with different kinds

we are not lhus blessed on the former.

tells of the troubles of two old bachelors
of his section. The writer wishes to
inform him that his section is not the
only place that old bachelors exist. We
have several at this place who exper-
ience a great deal of trouble in the
effort to capture one Of the fair sex.
AS the writer is one of the bachelors
he would like to have some one publish
his troubles, as perhaps that would
have a tendency to soften the heart OF
some one. of the many pretty girls, and
thereby aid him in securing a lifetime
companion. Who will take the first
step toward giving assistance?

M 1.mes r. Doeeett of New Zion,

Mr.. James J. Doggett OF New Zion
one of Clarendon's oldest citizens was
found dead in his barn last Saturday
He had gone into the barn to sbel!
some corn for mill, and he remained
so long that his wife went to see about
him. and when found he was cold in
death, with cob in his hand, and it is
supposed while shelling corn a stroke OF
paralysis killed him. The deceased
was about eighty years Of age, we'll
known throughout the county. He was
eccentric, but good man.
Judging from rumors, we are inclined
to think there will be full crop pot can
didates for the various county ofilceS.
and so far as we are concerned we nave
no objection to the number, the
more the merrier. and the more mate
rial to select from. This newspaper
will not take sides, between local can
didates. it has no favorite to advance.
nor has it any one to oppose. we want
the best man to win, 10 a free. open, land
fair contest.
Died Yesterday Raymond Wilson,
colored. an old servant of the Levi fam
ilv. The deceased shortly after the
war was implicated in some trouble in
Darlington county, and number OF
wears after he was found in Manning
and taken to the penitentiary. The
late Moses Levi became interested in
his behalf, and made a personal appeal
for pardon to Governor Richardson who
granted it. and ever since Raymond
has been e faithful servant in the Levi
family.
The citizens of Manning are called
upon to say whether or not we are to
surrender our present charter and put
the town under the general incorpora-
tion Act. Under the present charter
the council is practically helpless, 1t
gives no power to put in Improvements,
and it is altogether inadequate. we
are virtually without charter, because
the present charter was framed Tor
town in its infancy, and by it council
only has police power, the right to
levy a tax. to maintain the streets, and
to abate nuisances The matter is en-
tirelv up to the taxpayers to say
whether or not it will be of advantage
to the towns welfare to increase the
powers of council that they may levy a
higher rate OF taxation, bond the town
to build water works and other neces-
sary, Improvements.
we favor coming under the general
incorporation laws, because we believe
the people will always guard their in.
terests by selecting the right kind OF
council. When council has the neces-
sary power to put in Improvements, the
people will take an active interest in
the affairs OF the town. AS it is, very
little interest is manifested. mainly be-
cause it is known the council IS without
to do much.

Letter to J. D. Gerald.

Dear Sir: Would you rather have
your customers speak of your shoes as
wearing well, not running down at the
heel, as turning water, and taking a
shine; or wag their heads and say
nothing?
We'd rather have have ours, at long
intervals, say: ''We want some more
paint and we want Devoe." We know
it isn't in human nature to paint very
often; we don't expect them to come
very often; we don't want 'em to. All
we want is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint 1t; the
longer the time the surer they are to
comeback. There's business enough
in the world; there are houses enough
to paint: let 'em take their time.
If we were shoemaker, we'd make
shoes to last half lifetime, and shoe
the whole town.
