But he lived too fast
Society led to drinking.
And drinking to gambling.

W. c. Greene has purchased the Federal shelter at Fl Paso, and, it is said. will greatly enlarge the capacity ofthe plant and to use it for reducing ores frcm his mines in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
 The Greene Consolidated has in. creased ts bi.monthly dividend dis bursements to 10 cents, aud is now pay ing at the rate of $40 per year. The company earned Sl.70 per share last year on l2f cent copper market. On l5,cent copper and wish It's larger out. put the company is undoubtedly earn ing considerably in excess of the amount required for its increased div idendS. It is stated that it's cost of copper at the mine is now less than s cents. This wonld make it cost about 10 cents refined and delivered in the eastern markets.
 Those who, at end of the year tind themselves unable to complete assess. ment work need feel no fear of losing their claims if they are at work dur ing the last days of December, ,aud fin. ish the work for 1904 by continuing work after January 1, 1905 It will not suffice to stop with $l00 worth of work uncompleted. Claims located during 1904 do not require assessment work for th.S year, except in those states where the state or territorial laws aud regulations demand it, but all claims located during 1904 must be ''repre. sented' in 1905 by the performance of slOO worth of work, or the installation of substantial improvements to that amount. Where locator fails to do the work required by the federal, state and local laws he cannot take advan- trge of his own negligence and relo- cate the claim, as he might continue to do this on any number of claims for an indefinite number of years, thus defeating the purpose of the law, which is to develop the mining re- sources of the country.

l.. D. Go shall has let a contract on the Twins mine at Cerbat, and in the drift on the 60 foot level has encoun- tered splendid body of ore. Mir God shall and associates propose to build a shelter at Kingman in the near fu- ture, in which all ores from his mines will be reduced, together with all cus- tom ores offered.
 A. L. McKeescn, who is sinking shaft on his mine, south of kingman, was in town yesterday and reports that at a depth of 80 feet the vein is showing un splendidly. The ore is showing up splendidly. The ore will average about $50 to the ton, while samples run up into the hundreds of dollars in gold. Many beautiful gold specimens have been taken from this property.
 Jerome Tracey came in from the New Comstock mines yesterday. He ON UudU bift util oClilS uiiNOh oh the 225 level of the mine shows great body of high grade milling ore. It is expected that w. c. Howard, who has bond on the property, will be at the mines next week and that the force of men will be increased. The property is the largest and best in the river range.
 Ia driving the cross tunnel on the Tyro mine, owned by J. R. Russell, Peter White, Tom Bosanka and s, R.. Davis, 6 inch vein of S200 god ore was cut. Specimens from this vein show we'll iu free gold. The mine is located near Sheeptrai group, in the Union Pass country. It is expected that the crosScut will reach the main vein iu the next thirty days. So far the driving has been through very hard ground, but since encountering the veln.matter the ground has soft ened little and work will proceed much faster. The vein on the surface is an immense one and carries excel. lent values in gold
 Report comes from Eldorado Canyon that the new fad, recently made in that camp has been leased to a party of miners from Searchlight and these leasers are taking out very rich ore. About six tons of splendid ore is now on the dump of the original discovery and sinking on the vein is in progress The strike was made in a big porphyry dyke, running with the TechaticuI mine, and which was heretofore sup posed to be barren. The TechaticuK is now producing ore running from $4O0 to 5000 to the ton. Many pros pectors are in the hills and many more are going in there daily. The camp promises to be one of the liveli est in the state this winter.

Where Mining, the Chief Industry
 Is very Active

Two furnaces and converter are being added to the Copper Queen smelters at Douglas and many other important changes are to be made. The furnaces being put in are from the old plant at Bisbee, which was closed some months ago. This increase in smelting capacity means the employ ment of at least thirty more men. A new bullion track is being laid. This track will run north and south along the west side of the bullion floor and will be mu,h more convenient than the present track. The hydraulic elevator to load the bullion into the cars will be put in at once. New blowers, driv- en by electric motors, are being set up in she new part of the mill. All these changes mean greatly increased bull lion production in the very near fu- ture. re.-InteInational- American.
 The Calumet & Arizona will close the present calendar year with sur. plus of about $l,sOO,O ,OOO, largely in cop per and supplies. It is carrying about II 1000, 900 pounds of copper regularly, aud this amount has been increased of late, as the directors have expected a higher price for metal. By the close of this year the mine will have paid in div idends $1,700.00O. It is just two years since the first smelter was blown in, and this surplus and dividend pay ment has been earned in that period, as well as enough to pay off debt of $400. 900 incurred in smelter and mine construction prior to earnings. In the mine there are many places in drifts where indications present most favor abl promise of ore with proper ex- | ploratiOnS.
