Should Have Lower Railroad Rates
 on Ores.


 The sulphide ore eections of this county are up against a problem. that only lower rates on ore transportation can solve. In the early years of the county's history the high grade ores taken from the mines were assorted and the lower grades left on the dumps or in the mines, the high rates for transportation and smelting proclud ing their shipment. Now the handling of these ores, of which there are hun. dreds of thousands of tons, is a matter of necessity to the life of the mines and it is up to the railroad company to establish a haulage rate that will leave margin of profit to the produc CT on ores that run as low as POS to the ton. From Chloride the rate to Val Verde is five dollars per ton, while the rate from Needles to the same place, longer haul by thirty miles, is only three dollars per ton. Now, the Ger bat, Mineral Park, Todd Basin and Chloride sections ought to be given a rate of at least three dollars ton to enable the mine owners to ship the big tonnage cr low grade ores they have in sight, and corresponding rate of about 5S per ton to Pueblo, El Paso and San Francisco. Hundreds of men could be put to work taking out ore if but dollar ton profit could be as sured the operators. To the east of Kingman is another sulpEide zone, .he ores of which will not stand the high trans portation and treatment rate no " in operation. These mines are big and many of them have great blocks of ore ready for stoping. The wagon haul coupled with a high railroad rate makes it impossible to handle the ores at profit and they will remain in the mine if no reduction in rates is made Now is the tine for the people of Wall. apai and Mayua districts to get to gether and talk this matter over with he railroad company and if possible arrive at some equitable rate that will benefit both the people and the rail- roads. This county has the mines and instead of being idle today thousands of men should be at work taking out ore and shipping it to the snelters. With the additional tonnage better treatment rates can be had at the smelters, as the ores are of the most desirable character. ~gSg.' ;

Parents do wrong in keeping their children hanging around home in idle ness and sheltered and enervated by parental indulgence. The eagle does better; it stirs up it's nest when the young eagles are able to fly. They are com pelled to shift for them selves, for the old eagle literally turns them out and at the same time tears all the down and feathers from the nest. 'Tis tn is rude and rough experience that mak es the king of birds so fearless in his flight and SO expert in his pursuit of prey. It is misfortune 10 be born with eilver spoon in your mouth.

For some time past the copper situ' . tion has been setforth in these columns, and the conditions seemed 10 warrant steady market and higher prices. The price of the metal has slowly risen in fractional figures until l6 cent cop- per is again all but assured. Some metal is reported to have bee sold al l6 cents and the latest reports state that fine Lake and electrolytic cop can scarcely be obtained under ,ha' price. Should the present favorable conditions continue, there is no douo, that the market price of copper will slowly advance, and it seems not over hazardous to now predict :he probabil ity of 17 cent copper.-Mining & Scien tif1c Press. .t

Work on the Commonwealth proper. ty at Pearce under the management of Messrs. Smith and Swatliug is pro. gressing most satisfactory They now have force of nearly 2O0 men at the mine and in the mill. The caveic, which occurred come time since, did not put the mine in a. bad shape as was at first reported. 1t has been cleaned up and the mine tim bered so that it is now in good shape. Plen, y of ore is being found on all the levels to keep the forty stamps at work con
 tinuously. At the time of the cave.in it. was reported the mine had been worked out, but from present appear. ances there is not much to base the rumor on. The present management has been working now for a nun Der of months and is finding plenty of ore without doing any great amount of dead work. Several large stopes of ore have recently been uncovered on the second and third levels, while on the lower level another large body of ere was uncovered last week. Besides the force working in the niue and in the mill mum Der of men are still t work on the cyanide plant, working over the tailing that were run through when the Commonwealth company was oper, ting the mine, and which labor in no small way contributes to make the returns of the leasers a prof. itable one.-'rom bstone Prospector.

l.. J. Lassell, P. H. and Anson H. Smith returned Tuesday last from the moly bdenite mine, in the Deluge Wash section of Wallapai mountain. They brought with them large amount of sam ples and will have tests made to ascertain its adaptibility to concentrs, tioD. The ore carries large percent age of copper, as we'll as moly bdenum, but the values in gold and silver are low. The veins are very large and the quantity of the rare metal appears to be inexhaustable. If the tests prove satisfactory a plant to treat the ores will be put in at the mine. Molybdenum is one of the rare metals used iu the manufacture of steel, giving to that metal greater hardness and tensile strength. It also gives 8 brighter luster to steel and makes it noncorro. give. It's use in the manufacture of fine tool steel, balances and other instruments requiring the highest ,grsde of steel is becoming general.
