 attached to the skip. It is not due to
 any over use of the cable. nor to an
 insufficient factor of safety, that the frequent breakage of ropes occurs, but rather to the tremendous strains resulting from sudden starting with a heavy load. or the equally sudden stop ping of the rapidly descending skip or cage by too sudden application of the brakes. Still. there are instances where all the necessary factors for safety. have been taken. and ropes part without any apparent reason, in- spection of the broken rope showing no flaw. There are instances known where an IA inch steel cable snap ped by the skip wheels coming into collision with an obstruction in the head frame track. when the same rope was sufficiently strong to have pulled the frame down if the pull had been started slowly and applied gradually These instances emphasize the neces- sity of exercising care in starting and stopping loaded skips and cages. and avoiding, as far as possible. the un. necessary strains incident to sudden stopping and starting-Mining Re view.

There seems 10 be an increasing number Of accidents in mines due ;o the breakage of hoisting ropes. In every well-appointed shaft the possi- bility of the rope parting is given consideration, and safety clutches or other devices to insure, as far as pos
 sible, the safety of men are provided, but aside from these precautionary measures, which should be made con
 puisory. the hoisting ropes should have factor for safety Of al least
 seven times the maximum load 10 be earried-in some localities the legal requirement is a factor of ten. One difficulty seems to be in the purchase Of ropes of too small a diameter. and another the frequent winding of ropes over sheaves and drums Of too small diameter. This latter prac- tice results in strains upon the rope which are likely to cause the rope to part without any outward evidence of weakness. When wire rope is wound around a cylinder the oate- wires and strands carry the greater

 reaches beyond the s3o0,000 mark each month. The Copper Queen
 shelter. which is the finest and lar
 gest in the territory and was built at a cost of about $2,000 .000. is now run ming in full blast and is treating about 2500 tons of ore doiiy. How ever the management of the company has decided that the capacity is too low for the amount of ore in sight in the mines, and as soon as possible five more furnaces will be added to the smelting plant. The future of Doug las is bright and what proportions the town will gain in the next three years is hard to tell. The population at present is between 1000 and 5000, mostly Americans.
 In connection with these few re- marks it is necessary to say a few words in behalf of the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad, which, beyond a doubt. is responsible for the rapid strides of both Bisbee and Douglas. and in fact the whole territory along it's line. made in the last few years The E. P. & S W. is one of the bes, equipped and managed short roads in the world.

years-and judging from the prospects
 as many more changes will be made
 in the next two years. The town is
 now spreading toward Don Luis, where
 there is ample level ground 10 furnish ' and ideal townsite. Bisbee is per forated with mines, some of them be ing merely prospects, while others are what might be termed sure things" and without a limit. It has been 1 rumored that the closing down of the 1 Copper Queen smelter al Bisbee will be detrimental to the camp. but 1t is the opinion of the Bisbee people that the change will not be seen as more men will be added to the mining forces which will offset the loss of the smei- ter forces. In speaking of the enter prise and of Bisbee it might be well to mention the fact that the camp has two live daily papers, the Review and the Miner These dailies are re liable journals and the good that they have done for that district converted into dollars, if summed up. would ex- tend far into the millions.
 Cananea. Sonora, Mexico. where the Greene Consolidated Copper company is the master of all enterprise. is no doubt one of the largest copper propositions in the land and one which cannot be realized except when seen. The most of the mining so far has been done on the surface, but since deep mining has been adopted there have been great advances made and the Greene company placed upon substantial foundation. At first sight of Cananea a stranger is not favorably impressed. but after going from one end of the camp 10 the other, a dis tance of five to eight miles, one learns that the population of Cananea and the several little camps of the district amounts to from 25.000 to S0,000. The smelting plant. power house and various other machinery of the Greene company is Of the most modern type and its properties must be seen to oe appreciated. The output of the com paly is estimated al about 1000 GOO pounds of copper per month The ore of the district averages high. there being large quantities of native cop per scattered throughout the mines. AdlldItd d4i CoAs ihA 6t SonPf C'N there are new companies going into the district and taking up various good properties. and in the next few years it will most likely double it's present size. At present the United States is pretty well represented in Cananea.

Tombstone fer Heaith--Bisbee fer WeaIth-Cananea for Get There,' and Douglas for Business, Is What the Newspaper Man Said.

A representative of the Copper Era recently spent a few days in some of the important camps of the territory, and while on the trip visited Tombstone. Douglas. Bisbee and also Cananea, Sonora. Mexico.
 Tombstone. which in the early days was the great producing camp of the territory, and the swiftest thing in the west, is still in the same old place. but it has changed. IL is beautifully located and has many lovely homes which are owned by old timers who have stayed with the town through thick and thin For many years the mines around Tombstone were closed down, but about two years ago the Tombstone Consolidated company commenced work and since then the town has revived and will continue 10 improve. There are a number of old mills scattared throughout the hills and about the town, monuments of departed glory. which contributed liberally towards the prosperity Of the world. The drawback in that district has been the inflow of water into the mines. Before the Consolidated con- pany could resume work it was neces- sary to install a pumping plant with sufficient power to pump 3.500.000 gal Ions of water every 24 hours. and this will likely have 10 be increased as depth is attained The climate of Tombstone is perfect with the excep- tion of little dust storm once in while. Tombstone is the county seat of Cochise county. and while the writ CT was there the T.. $. ta..itoriai and county courts were in session and as a result the town showed signs of un- usual activity An increase in the price of silver would again make a lively camp as there are many sil- yer mines of large proportions in the district A number Of Clifton peo- pie were over there serving their county on the jury and all are of the same opinion in regard to climate. saying: Tombstone has the best climate in Arizona
 Bisbee is the scene of much life and activity and it is safe to say the Queen copper camp of the territory, and more so. of the world. The Cop per Queen mine is the leader, but there is plant after plant scattered around the camp. The population of Bis5ee reaches past the 10000 mark and a busie- and more progressive lot of people cannot be found from one end of the world to the other Vast changes have taken place since the writers last visit-a period Of two

Turned Out to Grass

Cattle men with many cattle and
few hay stacks are glad to see these
few warm days that have been Sc
unusually tardy, and the warm
April showers that have been Sc
unusually cold. They know tina,
grass must grow such weather an'
that means the winding up of one
of the longest feeding terms ever
known to our oldest people. From
now on, they congratulate them
SELVES, that they will have nothing
to do but salt the cattle this sum
mer and salt down the money this
fall.
The time of feeding for this win
ter, year ago, as given us by Jnt
Trimble, Esq extended from Dec. q
to March goth. For this winter
feeding commenced Nov. 18th an(
and lasted until April 25th. Some
persons will have to feed probably
few days vet. This makes 16t
DAYS for this year against SO days
for last year nearly double.
