Ties Out Of Brush Creek.

1. A. Reynolds, manager on
Brush and French creeks for the
Carbon Timber Co., came in from
that country Saturday for a couple
of weeks visit in Saratoga.
Mr.. Reynolds says the ties in
Brush creek, numbering over 10O,-
900, were turned loose into the
river from Brush creek, and the
ties in French creek, 100000, were
let loose Monday, and the drive to
Fort Steele commenced.

Goes to Denver to Consult Specialist.

Otto Huston and wife came in
from Riverside Monday, and leav-
ing his wife here with friends Mr..
Huston proceeded to Denver,
where he will consult a specialist
for eye trouble.
About a week ago Mr.. Huston
was taken with a sharp pain in
the forehead just above his right
eye. 1t soon settled in the eye
and he has been suffering almost
intolerable pain from it ever since.
He was advised to consult a spe-

his friends that he will be able to
obtain relief within a short time

that each man riding should have
but one man to assist in the
charge of horses and in the first
two heats Quealey's rider had
from three to four men assisting.
This really should have disquali-

TONS A DAY
Encampment Smelter Producing
That Amount of
Copper.
COST OF PRODUCTION 6 CTS.
Shelter Will Be Made to Produce Two
And a Half Million Pounds
Year.

Few people in the valley realize
the vast amount of work being
done and money expended by the
North American Copper Co,
at Encampment. They hear the
remark made that the smelter is
producing from 16 to II tons of
copper a day, that they employ
in the neighborhood of $50 men
in the smelter. on the tramway
and in the mine, but seldom stop
to think what it means to the
surrounding country and state.
The aggregate pay roll of the
N. A. G. Co. is between S35, 900
and $4,000 a month, all of which
is paid out in the Encampment
district.
The average days run will
amount to over $1,000 The actu-
al cost of mining, smelling and
transportation to refineries in
Boston is 6 cents a pound. leaving
the remaining 6 cents-counting
copper at II cents a pound-prof-
it. The ore after being smelted
and converted will run $40 to the
ton in gold, and it is estimated
by the company that this gold
will pay for the smelling.
With the smelter as well as
other large enterprises, it has
been necessary to do more or less
experimenting. That stage is
past and it is now being demon
strated beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the smelter is actually
a paying proposition. The ca
pacity Of the smelter can and will
be enlarged until it reaches
the q million pounds of copper
a year. Engines will be put in
this fall and the smelter kept run.
ming continuously this winter.
Last winter it was necessary to
close during the winter months
on account of the freezing up of
the pipe line.
AS to Encampment itself the
amount of business transacted
there has to be seen to be appre-
ciated. Their merchants are live,
wide awake men, and are making
special inducements to ranch
trade, a large part of which they
now have. They hustle and adj
vertise and the amount of business
they are doing tells the tale.
The growth and success of En-
campment is remarkable. From
An uncertain town it has grown
in six years to be a power in the
country. 1t is a bonanza to the
surrounding farmers, who mark
ct their entire harvest-hay,
grain, potatoes and small truck at
good prices. How much they
depend upon Encampment and
the smelter was manifested by the
CONSERVATION that reigned
throughout that country when the
smelter took fire several weeks
ago. The smoke from the fire
could be seen for twenty miles
and the excitement was intense.
1t is time for the croakers to
take a back seat. Encampment
is one of the solid cities of the
state. 1t wont improve your bus
mess by predicting failure for
that section. If you feel that
your business is dull, just take a
hint from Encampment business
men. Try a little hustling and
courtesy and see how it works

NATIONAL
N. & NJ. CO..
Operating at Pearl, Colo. Have
Commenced Work on
Smelter.
CONTRACT FOR LUMBER LET
Carpenter Work to be Done by George
Monilas Who Built Enoamp-

The National Mining & Mill
ing Co, consisting of the Pearl
Land q Townsite Co, Big Horn,
Big Creek, Copper Queen, Round
Top and other properties at Pearl,
Colo, and the Kurtz- Chatterton
mine at Encampmet is pushing
work on the new smelter plant
which is to he built at Pearl this
summer.
Harold Wilson, superintendent
for the company, passed through
Saratoga Monday on his way to
the railroad for a short business
trip. Before leaving Pearl Mr..
Wilson awarded the contract for
the lumber, with which to build
the smelter. to p. +. CLARK, who
owns a mill within four miles of
Pearl. W. NJ. Englehart, of En-
campment has gone into partner
ship with Mr.. Clark and will
move his saw mill plant from the
Encampment river to Pearl and
the work of saving timber is to
be started this week.
Geo. Monilas, who was con-
struction foreman for the En-
campment smelter will have
charge of the work at Pearl. MI.
Monilas is now in Pearl with a
large force of carpenters and will
commence the construction of
the buildings as soon as lumber
sufficient to start work is sawed.
E. H. Hull, who was also con-
nected with the Encampment
smelter as manager of the trans
portation, occupies the same po-
sition for the National Mining &
Milling Co. He is now at work
on the road from Pearl to the
smelter site, and has nearly COM
pleted a rather difficult piece of
road work. The excavating for
the smelter site will follow the
completion of the road, and Mr..
Hull will then turn his attention
to hauling in the smelter ma
chinery, part of which is now at
Laramie for transportation to
Pearl.
Pearl is a remarkably rich
camp and is rapidly taking front
rank in the copper districts of the
west. With an unlimited quanti-
ty of both low and high grade ore
in the surrounding mines, she
needs but the addition of a smelt-
err to her to make her
one of the great copper producing
camps.
1t is the intention of the Ma
tional M. & M. Co to put in two
furnaces of lis ton capacity each

cent copper will be turned out
and shipped to the converter
plant at Encampment where it
will be converted into "A 80 per

Bernard the Man.

There is now little doubt but that N. w. Bernard will be given a seat in the legislature as joint councilman from Pima and Santa Cruz counties, says the Silver Belt. While the returns from those counties, as certified to the territorial secretary, show a tie vote for joi-4t councilman, the question of who-Mr Bernard or Mir Dickerman is entitled to the seat will be decid- ed by council, which will be organized by the democrats, as they will have majority of one, and will undoubtedly seat Mir. Bernard. In this connection the Phoenix Republican says: ''In case Dickerman should contest or in case either of the candidates should contest 1t would be moved to throw out Arivaca precinct in which Dicker- man received a majority of four. There Is little doubt that would be cedent established by Judge Kent in Johnstone- Robertson contest in which a precinct was thrown out altogether for the reason that the election had been moved from the place appointed by the board of supervisors. There fore the complexion of the Territorial council may be regarded as good as settled"

Will Select President RooseveIt's In
 ausuTai Guard.

The announcement comes from Washington that President Roosevelt s guard of honor in the inau sural parade on the fourth of next March will be a squadron of picked men from his old regiment of Rough Riders, the First United States Volunteer cavalry.
 Col. A. o. Brodie, governor of Ari- zona and Major w. H. H. Llewellyn, of New Mexico, formerly of the Rough Riders, took luncheon with the presi- dent and arrangements for the guard of honor were made at that time. It Is the wish of the president that Col. Brodie select from the regiment squadron of from thirty to fifty men to act as Lis special escort on inaugu- ration day. He also particularly ex- pressed a wish that no other members of the Rough Riders than those select ed by Col. Brodie take part in the parade.
 The president desired Colonel Bro die to inform the members of the Rough Riders that he would attend the annual reunion of the regiment at San Antonio the latter part of next March, and after the reunion the president will probably take a hunting trip with Major Llewellyn.

Nesbit believes that the output of the great mine will be henceforth from S75,00O to S1O0,- 900 gold per month. He says the out put has been about s55, 900 per month when the poor machinery permitted any kind of time to be put in.

VERY RICH GOLD ORE.
Over Sixty Dollar in Less Than One
 Pound.

James Chambers came in from his Good Hope mine, on the Hsssayampa, twelve miles south of Prescott, with some gold bearing ore, the richness of
 which caused a crowd to gather around him as soon as he showed a piece of the ore, and when the news spread men could be seen trotting from all directions to take a look at it. Of course, our mining populat tion Is ac- customed to seeing free gold ore, but not such ore as this. The projecting pure gold bristled all over the outer surface of the rock, and the weight of the ore was proof conclusive that gold was just as plenty beneath the sur face. A piece weighing less than pound contained over S60 in gold. The ore came from a vein about three inches wide which was encountered near the surface in an open cut.
 MT. Chambers beat up painful of the ore and washed therefrom S100 in gold. Such ore would cause excite ment and a stampede to the district anywhere else but here and would be telegraphed all over the country and appear in leading newspapers under big, black headlines. However, the l day Is nearing when people who want | to mine will realize that there is no | better place to start in than in the | neigh borhood of Prescott.-Prescott | Courier.

Phelps s-Dodse Missed it at Cananea.

It is net generally known that Phelps Dodge Company, perhaps the most substantial, fair and legitimate mining concern operating in the United States and Mexico, missed getting hold of the Cananea copper mines at the insignificant sum of S2OO. 900 gold, or a half interest at Sf0,- 900. It appears that J. H. Dever- eaux, well known mining engineer, examined Cananea when there was little or no development done, Greene was poor and "hard up" Devereaux was well pleased with the prospect and tried to get Phelps Dodge people into it but they said they knew that section of the country and there was nothing there Geo. Mitchell went in with Greene. Cananea became fam ous and Phelps Dodge company bought the Indiana-Sonor property in Cananea and have spent a great more than they could have bought the entire camp for and have gotten little as yet.
 This shows how easily the best and largest concerns can miss it, and yet Phelps-Dodge had been working for years the Copper Queen at Bisbee and the copper mines of Nacozari, both prise-
