The south part of Mohave county appears to be creating considerable interest in a mining way. In that sec ton there are many large veins of copper and gold bearing ores that bet ter transportation facilities would make very valuable. At the present time it is practically impossible to

The prospector, the newspaper and the promoter are the leading factors in the up building oi mining dis trict. The prospector makes the dis covery, the newspaper advertises his find to the world, and the promoter interests capital to develop the prop erty. They are all essential in their various spheres, and without them the country would remain unproductive. Of the three the promoter comes in for the most abuse, and as a general thing 1t is undeserved. The promoter, like the prospector, is an enthusiast, and it is we'll that he is, for no man can talk up an enterprise in which he lacks faith. The mining sections of the west owe much to the promoter. If property turns out well he makes but little out of it. If it is a failure he is held responsible for it. His life is full of cares, and he,is often more deserving of sympathy than censure. -Ex.

They expect to have sutti- cient ore themselves to keep the mill running day and night, but if they should run short and any time they can secure sufficient custom ore to keep going full blast. The ore they are milling carries goo profitable values and it is the hope of the many friends of the Stukey brothers, who have been mighty.good and progressive citizens of this county, that they will realize handsomely on the proposition.

Superintendent Owens of the Deca- tur mine reports that everything is being gotten ready as rapidly as pos sible to commence work on the prop erty just as soon as possible. He ex- poets to start development work on or before March l. The location of the Decatur, in the very heart of the rich Jerome mining district, and the splen- did showing in the workings when work was stopped some months ago. leads all who are acquainted with the district to believe that with proper development work, this property will prove a big producer. In the drift west from the main shaft, when work was suspended, the miners who were at work there say that the showing was much better than ever before on the property. Especially was this so on the north side of the drift, where there were some very fine sulphides. In fact, the miners say the whole face of the drift was mineralized, with punches of high grade ore occurring. The people of this district are much interested in the Decatur, as they be- Iieve it will in the near future add much to it in a business way.-Jerome Mining News.

He says the cyaniding tanks which are being built at the mine will be finished today and the tailings from the mill will then be run direct ly into these tanks and the values in the tailings will be extracted by the cyaniding process.

Tuesday last the Gold Road shipped a S20, 900 bar of bullion to the mint by way of Needles. This brings the shipments of bullion up to s42, 900 in the past thirteen days. At this rate of production the mine is fast becom- ing a world beater. With the addition of labor saving devices this mill will be one of the largest producers of gold on the coast. It is presumed that the management has decided to put in electrical transmission lines from the railroad to operate the mines and mill and at the same time make many important changes in the reduction and handling of ores. .-Kingman Miner.

c. c. Stukey came in this morning man to make some repairs to the boil CT which is used in operating the pumps and hoist. The boiler met with little accident last evening but he expects to have everything in oper- ation again by tonight, as the damage was slight. He says the shaft has now been put down to a depth of $50 feet and drifting was begun a few days ago to cross cut to the ledge which is about forty feet from the shaft The mine is now producing a large volume of water and everything is slooklng very bright for the future of the mine.

W. W. Elliott, of the firm of Elliott < Drescher, who recently returned from a trip to California, says that the coming year looks brighter for the mining industry in this county than any time he has seen since he has been here which is about fifteen years. He says there are nearly a score of proper ties now in contemplation of erecting milling plants and several in process of erection while few have been fin ished of recent date. When all of these plants add their bullion to the output of the country it is going to make a mighty good showing.

The lumber and machinery dealers in this city all report a great deal of material being purchased for the num- erous mining properties in this coun- ty. The mining industry looks better at this time than it has for years. There are several good properties in this section that will become steady dividend payers within the next few months, and this is what prompts the unusual activity in the development of other properties.

The double compartment vertical shaft which the company has been sinking, has struck the ore veIn at a depth Rof about l25 feet and so far as it has been crosscut, which is only about three feet. is all in solid ore.

Capt. s. J. Wright, Louis Goldman, Wm. Frank and J. s. Johnson, of the Copper Queen Mining company came in from the property Wednesday night and Mir. Frank left yesterday for the east to place some of the stock of the company among his acquaintances. These gentlemen are all very enthus- riastic over the future of the property, which is located in the Agua Fria dis trict, only a short distance from the Val Verde smelter. An excellent vein of rich ore was encountered a short time ago and it is confidently expect ed that fine property will soon be opened up and a permanent dividend payer will be made of it. MT. Wright has been quietly developing the prop erty for several years and now has il where it will soon begin to give re- turns for what has been done.

James O'ConneIl, who is among those who have had an abiding faith that the Groom Creek section was go- ing to come to the front as a mining district, has property known as the Stemwinder which is an extension oi the Alma group. Since the Alma has been showing up so we'll of late he has s-cccc led in getting several par ties interested in his claims with the result that two different parties have come from Denver to examine the claims. The last party is still in the city, having returned day or two ago from the property where they took 8 number of samples. They are now having the samples tested both here and in Colorado and it is likely as soon as the returns are known there will be another mining deal closed uI and one more property resume active operations on Groom Creek.

During his recent visit to this sec tion Thos. Wilkinson, of Burlington, Iowa, who is already quite heavily in terested in the Gro Cobra Mining company, which has number of ex- cellent claims in the Copper Basin section, purchased about a dozen of the adjoining claims to this group, giving the company a very large and valuable property. Mir. Wilkinson, who is a conservative and careful bus mess man of considerable means, and whose word is good for all the capital be needs to develop the property, had determined the take the matter in hand and will begin work Ton the claims very soon-in fact he already has established a camp and has a small force of men at work, but the force will be increased and machinery added as it is needed. Under the care ful management of MT. Wilkinson the property undoubtedly will soon come into deserving prominence in this great mining district.

To mention the big things OF the
Worlds Fair of 1904 would be to give
a catalogue Of the greatest achieve
ments of man in many lines of en-
deavor. For example: We shall see
the largest locomotive ever built,
weighing ninety-dve. tons and having
twelve driving wheels. We shall hear
the largest organ in the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built.
We shall see some of the greatest sea-
coast defense guns manufactured for
the United States government. In the
Government Building, which is the
largest exhibit building ever erected
by federal authority at an Exposition,
there will be model of half of
battleship for the Navy display. The
United States Government has also
erected bird cage so large that tall
trees grow within the Enclosure. in

MARKETING FOR THE SEA COW.
Il 10 Necessary Now to Cut Through
Ice to Get at the Eel Grass.

The man who does the marketing
for the Aquarium's sea COW has had to
do some lively hustllng this winter to
keep that big animal supplied with
food.
The sea COW is eight foot long
weighs 500 pounds. and has healthy
appetite. In the first eighteen weeks
after its arrival here from Florida, on
Sept. last II ate ninety bushels of
eel grass, six bushels of fennel-leafed
pond weed and two bushels OF ulva,
or sea lettuce, making ninety eight
bushels Of aquatic plants in all in
eighteen weeks. or an average of
about five and one-half bushels
week. which is about its present rate
OF consumption.
The eel grass and other things for

Gravesend Bay or tho waters there
with connected. Baymen say that the
present has been the hardest winter
hereabouts on the water In twenty-five

been 10th to believe such a statement
But such Is the tact. The exhibit pal
aces OF the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position average much larger thar
those of Chicago and are greater In
number. About 1870 acres of floor
space are provided in the various pal
aces OF the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes. The larg-
est OF these is the Palace of Agricul-
ture, which covers twenty acres. The
next In size is the Palace of Transpor-
tation, covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four miles of railway tracks
for the exhibit of locomotives and
cars. At the Chicago Exposition
there were practically no outdoor ex-
hibits. At this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing In most pleasing
manner the hundreds Of thousands Of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Ex-
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments. At the Worlds Fair In st.
Louis four buildings, covering forty
i've acres, are given up TO the same
'our departments.
The total cost Of the Worlds Fair

million dollars, exclusive of the value |

'hinery alone will contain exhibits to

of acceleration-from 10 to IL and
from IL to is in girls, and from IL to
10 and 10 to 20 in boys. At the period
of most rapid Increase in height-from

OF the body, but at II to 10 1t grows
one-thirtieth as fast, and at 20 reaches
