district. which the Tombstone Consol- dated Mines company has now prac- ticaliy rehabilitated; there is the Black Diamond smeiter in the hills a few miles from Tombstone. the wonderful Commonwealth gold mine. that goes on unceasingiy turning out bricks, the new smelter at Benson, and numberless smaller enterprises. many of them promising much in an other twelve month. At Tombstone the big company is shipping regularly to El Paso. It's operations have hith- erto been extensively mentioned and the enterprise is getting larger every day. The water level in the district has been lowered to an extent that has encouraged smaller enterprises is understood would soon aban6cn it's Bisbee smelters, but report comes now that delay in the completion of the Douglas plant will delay the aban- donment of the Bisbee plant It is really immaterial to Bisbee, as more miners will be employed when the smelters are removed. The spectac- ular thing in mining during the year is the number of new and large cor porations that have been launched in Cochise county, many of them by Cochise county. many of them by Michigan capital. It is gratifying to know that two or three of them have found what they went after, and oth- CTS are proceeding satisfactorily to- ward the same end. There are now probably a dozen or fifteen big enter prises under way in these parts. and numerous smaller ones.

Pritchett. a member, instructed the surveyor to let them know at the even ing session what his charges would be to do certain work. At the evening meeting the above mentioned super visors decided in favor of the road and asked MT. Rockefeller to survey and estimate the cost of same as soon as 1t was convenient to do so. So, as you see, there are at least two of our su- pervisors who are more progressive than any of their predecessors in showing their appreciation of the value of the mineral resources of the Chiri- cahua mountains.
 MT. J. L. Bachelier was seen few days since, and he showed some very fine pieces of ore, carrying high values in copper and gold and a liberal amount of silver. He stated that he had struck this on his North Arctic; that at present the body was small, but it was increasing with depth. MT. Bachelder is an old-timer in the Dos Cabezos district, and 1t was from there that this ore came.
 It is reported that the Chicago & Arizona Copper company will start sinking their shaft on what is known as the Casey copper mines. in the Dos Cabezos mountains. in the near future. MT. J. I. Riggs, who is well known in live stock circles, stated that the out look for the mines was never brighter. The shaft is we'll timbered all the way and excellent ore is in the bottom. They are trying to get things in shape to do some extensive development work.
 The Gold Nugget company, which has been operating in Emigrant can yen, just east of Oi6, Fort Bowie. Is closed flown, just as people who knew the outfit predicted it would.
 Mir De Lucen, of the Sheba Mining company, who had bond on the King os Lead, has also suspended work. It is the same old story of trying to make mine with an exceedingly small amount of capital There is every reason to believe that the mine is all right, but the man that promoted the ceal simply did not and does not yet and never will understand mining and still the fault is laid somewhere else.-Los Angeles Mining Review.

GROWTH OF MExicAsi RAILROADS

Commercial Intelligence, of London. England. commenting on the railway situation in Mexico, says: In 1873 Mexico had 335 miles of railway. Over these went 723.s34 passengers and 150, ,473 tons of freight. and the re ceipts were s1.S4S.375. In 1900 there were 8,460 miles in operation; 10.109,- 462 passengers and 7.522. 1923 tons Of freight were carried, and the receipts were sie,425,47S. Since 1900 the mile age. freight, number of passengers. eac, have gene on increasing. Better ballast, steel rails for iron, steel bridges for wooden, first-class rolling stock, etc, all mark the methods of the Mexican railroad management h the face of almost insurmountable natural 3bstacles-up hills, over noun tains. and climbing prec;pices-the roads have gone until the tale. when told, sounds almost incredible.

DON'T WORRY.

This rs easier said than done, yet t may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is over some thing which you have no control 1t Is obvious that worrying will not help the matter in the least On the oth- CT hand, f within your control you have only to act. When you have a cold and fear an attack of pneumonia. buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use 1t judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. There is no danger Of pneumonia when 1t is used
 Mrs Jonnson Soderholm, of Fer gus Falls. Minnesota, fell and dislo cated her shoulder. She had sur. geon set # back in place as soon as possible, but |: was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son men. tioned that he had seen Chamberlain's s Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommend ed it to many others. For sale by all druggists.

 IN FORCE OF The Copper Queen
HUMBER OF EMPtoYEs IN FEB
 400 MORE THAN JAN.
Miners s~d Other Workmen Given .Positions About the Mines Within Past Few Weeks that Very Materi ally Increased Amount ef Money to Be Paid Out al End of Month.

Wbat is not a generally known fact Sew weeks the Copper Queen company
 has increased its force about the
 nines by the addition Od at least 400
 Vorkmen This addition was en-
 gagged and put to work gradually dur
 ing the time stated so that the in crease was brought about in a manner
 that would not be generally noted hut the fact still remains that when She employees receive their pay for
 february an amount footing up sey-
 eral thousands of dollars in excess of last months pay roll will be distrib- sted by the company.
 The employees who made up this large additional force were mostly
 niners. A considerable portion of the men were those who were recent
 y engaged 10 fill the positions created Ay the cOmpany's decision to have Snder-fosemen, or ''straw-bosses," at the head of the many divisions of s,en employed in the stopes. These positions, alone, required at least aixty-hve men, all of whom will re <eive high salaries. The miners and ether hands engaged also for the most part will be handed out substantial tums in compensation for their labor at the end of each month so that it is safe to say that approximately at least $25 more will be distributed dn the February payday than for the month previous.
 That this big increase in the amount of currency to be generally circulated in this city monthly will not have any i'll consequences goes without saying. On the contrary it will help very materially to increase the activity and life of the camp.
 And this is still by no means an end 10 the good things which are promised Bisbee at the hands of the Cooper Queen company These mi ners recently put to work. with the large force hereto Q .crnstaGf:y cm- Ploved will nelp greatly in the work a turning nut greater production Greater production of ore means the receeeiiy O. iarger facilities for refin- l6g, and if s understood that within ahout thres~ months the mammoth amelters, now nearing completion at a9 u"fas, vii be started in full blast
