his mother as mistress of the estab

Having firmly established his posi-
ton as shipper and dealer in horses,
he turned his attention to the commits
sion business. Taking advantage of
a shortage in the cranberry crop, he
bought a large part of the available
supply and cleared thousands of dol

He then embarked in the produce and
commission business on a large scale
and scored another success.
At the age of thirty-five, having
amassed a competency, Sam Rounds
determined to improve what he
termed his "book education" Four
winter terms in the Rehoboth public
school gave him all of which he could
boast in the way of erudition. He
therefore began course of study in
a night school, which he attended four
evenings in the week. He joined a
debating society, and became a mem

party in power, and the voters of
Sans district held a meeting for the

to stand against an incumbent who
had betrayed his trust. Sans name
was proposed with cheers. He was
nominated by acclamation and escort

assisting the seamstress with her
work. Sam had acquainted the lat
Ger with his secret and she agreed to

In vain.
Like other crimes less difficult to

When the visitor had departed Mrs.

Such fabulously rich ore as was found there, as a rule, only occurs in pockets or kidneys. but this has been developed to such an extent as to prove 1t to be genuine ore body. as it has already been proven to be at least eighty feet in depth. while the length of it along the vein has not yet been determined. There are about if ty tons, probably more than that, of the ore piled up now cn the dump of the mine and the full extent of the body not determined.

RICH COLD STRIKE IS FOUND NEAR
 MORENCi
RUNS THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE TON-WORk IS IN OLD REFUGiO CLAIM, AND IT PAID WELL AT ONE
 TIME IN THE
 PAST.

Gold ore worth several thousand dollars to the ton was found last week a few miles out of Morenci on the old Refugio claim by Tom and Dick Campbell, says the Morenci Standard A lease on the claim was this week secured by the discoverers Of the rich streak from the D. C. The Camp bells, years ago, owned the Refugio, being the original discoveries of the great gold streak the claim carries. They sunk a shaft about thirty feet on the vein in their time and drove a tunnel from the bottom for about ten feet There the rich ore sudden ly pinched out. An immense amount of lean remained, but its attractions were small. Later along the Camp bells sold to Hoemeyer & Crawford. who in turn sold to the D. c. A few weeks ago the Campbells took another look at the Refugio and saw enough to encourage them to drive their old tunnel about five feet further. The rich streak came in again and they at once secured a lease from the D. C.. and are now at work under il. The Refugio ledge is all of fifty feet wide and can be traced more than two miles. The fat streak in the ledge is about six inches through. The big body of the ledge would probably av- craze per ton. It runs east and west The Refugio is at the mouth of Pinckard gulch. Knapp & West brook have the extension cn the east and the D. c. on the west as far as the Home Copper company's ground. which also carries the vein. Sam ples brought ip this week by the campbells from the Refugio tunnel and shown about town created much astonishment and interest. Most people reffsed at first to believe that ore of the undoubted richness of that shown could possibly have come from the near neighborhood.

NICHioAN MEN SECURE RIGHTS
 UNDER g MOS. BOND.
Group Comprises 11e Claims Located On Flats Near Bisbee Consolidated And Copper Glance Properties-Ex- ploring to Be Done with Drills Work to Commence Shortly.

Another deal was closed yesterday for the development of a very exten- sive group of claims, on an extend cd scale and of a determining charac- Ger Michigan men are the second parties to the deal and under their di- Eection a vast area of mining property, located near the Copper Glance and Bisbee Consolidated companies lands, gill be thoroughly exploited by the 0se of diamond drills.
 The grounds acquired by the Mich sgan parties comprise 119 claims Known as the Cunningham group and which extend over the flats situ ated between the Don Luis townsite and the Copper Glance and Bisbet Consolidated mines. The property Is taken under a nine months bono from Charles Cunningham and sey eral other prominent Bisbee men who own the claims.
 In all, about twenty Bisbee people hold claims included in the trac; Known as the Cunningham groupe ant dn which the Michigan parties vii expend their energies. All parties 10 the deal, with the exception of two have signed the bond. These two are now spending visit in Mexico and an asent has been sent 10 secure theil signatures so that there will be no unnecessary delay in carrying out the plans.
 It was stated yesterday, by parties interested in the work to be done ir exploiting the flats, that diamond Grills would be secured anG. put in op eratioh as soon as possible so that the york Will probably commence within the next two weeks. If the results df the tests prove satisfactory the Michigan men will purchase the claims before the expiration of the nine months given them in which to determine thtir value.
 The value of these flats, included an the Cunningham group, as mining ground has long been a disputed Ques Con and the advent of the diamond Shem, will probably make plain wheth- er or not valuable mineral deposits are located there. All portions of he property will be thoroughly ex- plored. Untiring energy will be a Characteristic under which the work Uin be done and if there are any val uable possibilities for these lands the question will doubtless soon be mani tested
 Until such a time as the Michigan Oarties feel confident as to the value Gf the Cunningham group no money will be paid owners.

THIS WITH ONLY ONE SHELTER
 FOR PART OF YEAR.
A Phenomenal Record Will Doubtless Be Made During Present Year as Third Shelter Will Soon Go Into Commission.-Plenty of Gre to Keep Shelter Busy.

The skeptics who are entertaining doubts as to the actual greatness and .uture prominence of the Calumet & Arizona company as a producer or .opper should carefully peruse the in ormation given below concerning he work done at the mine and smelt- ITS during the year 1903. The facts ,iven should, at least, be absolutely convincing to the most pessimistc nd the doubter who still doubts will O well to devote his attention to her lines than mining stocks, as he urely is incapable of recognizing a DOC and lasting miTe after it has cen unreservedly exposed to him.
 With the twelve months which losed December 31. 1903. the c. & A. reduced in the aggregate, according 0 corrected figures, 25,97S,676 of blist- 1T copper at it's smelters; 18TH ,676 ounds of this amount, or nearly four .fths of the total, was produced turing the last eight months of the Jear. the remainder, 6,207 ,000 'OuHIS, DeiAS SiHSitel III JduudIS 'ebruary.

 The production by months for the Jear is given as follows:

 February l, 500,00o.
 March l, BOT ,000.
 April, l, S00,00o

 October ?, 53S,000
 November 2, 644,000 December ?, S7S,0o0.
 Total, 25.s78.676.
 Despite this unprecedented showing the record by. this company for 1904 gives every promise of being even bet ter still. A third smelter is now nearly ready to go into commission, and while nothing authentic has yet been given out, it is likely that addi- tional smelting facilitiEs will be erect ed at Douglas and in operation before the present year closes.
 That the company is in a position to furnish all the mineral necessary 10 keep the smelter plant constantly busy cannot be disputed The ex- tent of the ore bodies already opened Il pin the mines is almost unlimited and there is no such thing as Ques- tioning that the company can ship more ore than is necessary to eclipse its record made in the past twelve months.
 How it is possible, in the face of these facts. for any one to entertain any but the brightest views regarding this property, is entirely passed under standing.
