In LuScOmb v. Ballard Gray 4O3,
66 Am. D. 375. the Supreme Court Of
Massachusetts, said:
The law is that by a promise, the
consideration Of which arises after the
death of the testator or intestate, the
estate cannot be charged. but the ex-
ecutOr or administrator is personally
liable on his contract And whether
the amount is to be repaid from the es-
tate is question for the court of pro-
bate in the settlement"
Upon a demurrer in Holderbough VS..
Turpin. Is Ind. "a, it was held that
where a complaint charges the exc
cution of a contract by an administrat-
or in his individual capacity. it binds
him individually, although it relates to
matters connected with the estate, and
that where he enters into a contract
upon consideration accruing subse-
quent to the death of the decedeht,
it is deemed his individual contract.
This doctrine has been applied and
has bound the executor or administra-
tor personally for work done or goods
sold to one as executor, Corner =.

The arras- -ra was the most crude of all gold iaving mills, and of course was of little value in the treatment of any put the most high-grade, free-milling ores, yet the remains of these ancient mills are to be met with wherever you go in the great confines Of Arizona, and the traditions which have been handed down concerning their output in some of the districts of this re- markable country strengthen the con viction, now shown by present produc- tion, that it is destined to become some time in the near future that particular locality upon which all eyes in the mining world will be centered, and universally accorded the distinction of being the largest known field of con centrated mineralization-

The Review is just in receipt of the printed copy of the annual report of the Calumet & Arizona company tor the year 1903.
 It Is a short condensed statement of the operations of that company, and contains a report of the board of di- rectors; also report from former Superintendent I. L. Merrill. telling of the work accomplished in driving the drifts and taking out the ore that has mace the Calumet & Arizona one of the important mines of the west to- day.

 Charles Briggs is president of the company. Gordon R. Campbell secre- tary. and Peter Ruppe treasurer.
 The directors present the following report of the operations for the year ending December 31st, 1903:
 We produced the first six months oi the year 5,136 427-2oo0 tons. The last six months 7,631 1470-2e0O tons. A total of 12.7s7 1S57-200o tons re- fined copper.
 Our product in gold and silver was in value 144,S62.39-average per ton of refined copper s11.35.
 The highest price we received for refined copper during the year was 14 44-100 cents; the lowest Il 1-2 cents, per pound.
 Average price received for refined copper sold was 13 0ss-1000 cents Average price less refining charges and commissions, 12 o13-I0O0 cents. Price less freight, insurance, assaying, sampling and weighing, Il 55S-100O cents.
 Our smelter produces blister copper 99 per cent fine.
 All our copper is treated electro lytically by the Nichols Chemical con- pany, requiring fully three months af- ter shipment before delivery as re- fined copper. and four months after shipment under the most favorable conditions before proceeds are re- oeived.
 A dividend of s400, 900 was paid De cember 18th, being $50 regular and soc extra.
 Our No. furnace went into com mission in April. No. 8 was not blown in until after the close of the year. No. l was then closed down for repairs.
 We shall now be able to run two furnaces nearly continuously

 We have renewed cur contract with Phelps, Dodge & Co. as selling agents for 1904 and 1905.
 Mir. Merrill, our superintendent: from the formation of the company, resigned his position December 31st. To MT. Merrill's untiring devotion and resourcefulness is mainly due the placing of our mine so quickly on a basis. For the directors,
