THE SILVER KING MINE
The Story of Its Discovery Briefi,
 Told by Harry Brock

The romantic discovery of the Silver King mine has often been told, but it may be news to many readers of the Mining Review. To tell it in full would need more than page, so only make brief outline. Ia 1872, when General Stonemau, who was later gov. ernOr of California, was endeavoring to check the murderons propensities of the bloodthirsty Apaches, he estab- lished camp in the Pinal range, and built pack-trail which is still known as the St0neman grade. One of the soldiers nam ed Sulli van, who was en- gagged in cutting the trail, sat down to rest on rock near camp, and picked up some loose fragments of rock. among which were some small, heavy, black metallio-looking Jumps, resem. bling lead. He gathered few of these, which be preserved without re. alizing the importance of his dnd or saying anything about it to his com- rades. Shortly afterward his term of service expiring he sojourned for a time at the ranch of Charles G. Mason on Salt river, near the present locat tiOn of Phoenix. He showed Mir Mason the nuggets, but did not tell him where they came from. One day Sullivan disappeared and was not heard of for many years after For several years prospecting parties were made up at frequent intervals to SCOUT the Pinal mountains in search of tho "pure stuff, as the ranchers called the black nuggets. They even made location only mile and half from the place, and called it the Silver Qu en; also one known as the Globe mine, in the district now called by that name.
 In 1875, Mir. Mason and one of his his neighbors, Benj amin w. Reagan, formed a party of five to go with a train of animals to the Globe mine to take out some ore. ca their way back, March 2l, 1875, they were at tackled by the ApacheS, and one of the party Was killed. His body was buried at the StOneman grade. Cope. land went to fetch mule which had strayed, and found it standing on some crOppings at one side of the trail, some of which he broke off. The party at once realized that they had struck the long-looked for "pure stuff p Hurrying back to the river, they re. turned on the following day with sup plies, and on March 9, 1875, located the celebrated Silver King mine, which produced millions of dollars and for several years paid regular monthly dividends, the stock selling at $2O per share or more. Years after the discovery an old man walked in- to the Silver King mill at Pinal and announced himself as Sullivan. He proved his identity and was given work in the mill.
 The discovery of this rich mine naturally led to great rush of pros pectors in that direction. The hills for several miles around the Silver King were thoroughly explored, hun dreds of shafts were sunk aud tunnels run into the mountains, some of them to depth of several hundred feet Quite little city sprang up at Silver King, and town of some importance at Final City, where there was another mill in addition to that of the Silver King. Yet, so far as can reme m Der, not one other really profitable mine was discovered within a radius of five miles of the Silver King.-Los Angeles Mining Review.

It may reasonably be doubted if there was ev9r such remarkable spec tacle presented in great city as that of all the churches of Philadelphia offering up prayers for the redemp' ton of that city from the evil iniiu- enceS that control it.

Coroner OGorman said that he believed
the young woman lay alive in the woods for
two days after the first sault and was

girl was killed outright. ] think she was
rendered unconscious and the brute who
attacked her dragged her body into the
bushes and hid II. thinking she was dead.

Friday, unable To move or make an out
cry, and the murderer returned Friday

alive he finished her.
Undoubtedly the girl knew the man who
killed her Otherwise there would have

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. September 49,
Wang Tai Sieh, distinguished member of
the Chinese foreign office, who is now in
this country, will be introduced this after
noon to President Roosevelt by Sir Chem
tung LANG Cheng, the Chinese minister to
the United States. The President will un-
doubtedly discuss with the Chinese foreign
office representative the subject OF the
Chinese boycott against American goods,
which is proving more tenacious OF life than
was expected, and the recent PRONUNCIATION
of an imperial decree directed against it
Another question which the President, 1t is
felt certain here, will take up with Wang
Tai Sieh Is that of the future close COM
mercial relationship which is to exist be-
tween the United China and Japan.
Although his visit today is given out as
being merely for the purpose Of paying his
respects, 1t is quite probable that Wang
Tai Sieh is in this country in an official ca
pacity and as the representative of the
Chinese emperor. He and Sir Chen Tung
