A PROMINENT MINE OWNER.

Thomas Haley, one Of ArizoGa's not able pioneers, is spending a few days in Phoenix. Among mining men, Mr. Haley and 'Haley's mines" are known from one side of the Territory to the other. Ever since the year 1S75-thir. ty years ago-Mr. Haley has been en- gagged in mining near Mineral Creek, few miles north of Kelvin, Pinal County. With his partner, William Souffrien, he owns a group of lead claims which have been pronounced by many experts the richest in the Territory, and, in addition to the lead properties, Haley and Souffrien own some very valuable copper and silver mines. Until the coming of the Phoe. nix & Eastern the Haley mines were seventy miles from the railroad, Red Rock on the Southern Pacific being the nearest point, and. of course, he developed his mines under great diff faculties. Like everybody else in Pinal County, Mir. Haley is rejoicing over the happy change in the trans portation situation.

GOV. KIseEY VISITS MINES
Was at Tombstone This Week On
 Court Business.

Cochise County had the honor of a visit from Gov. Kibbey this week. His sojourn at the County Beat is describ- ed by the Prospector as follows:
 While in the city, yes.erday, Gov ernor Kibbey was showA through the underground workings of the Tomb stone Consolidated Mines. With the governor were Court Commissioner Emanuel, Douglas Gray, purchasing agent for the Fl Paso Smelting Co.,, the party being under the guidance of Superintendent Walker of the Consol- dated, Mine Foreman Macie and Su- perintendent Shaw of the Old Guard mine.
 The trip of inspection was without incident and proved to be one of much interest to the governor, the immensi- ty of the workings and the great mass of machinery encountered filling him with amazement and bringing forth exclamations of surprise. It required several hours for the party to con- clude the notifications of this stu pendous undertaking, having gone through the Sil yer Thread, Tranquil ity, Contention, Emerald, Lucky Cuss and Lucksure, each of which is equip ped with modern appliances, all of them being in operation.
 The governor was highly impressed with what he saw underground. and was unreserved in his expression of confidence in the future operations of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines.

r. l.. Dwight, general superintend- ent of the Cananea Consolidated Cop per Co.,, was in the city last evening. coming over from Cananea during the day to keep business appointment.
 MT. Dwight has occupied the posi- ton of general superintendent at Can anea for the past two years, and is held in high esteem by the general public and employees of the company.
 At the Copper Queen last evening MT. Dwight stated that affairs at the big Copper camp across the border were progressing nicely since the wet weather had abated. During the torms the company was put to considerable inconvenience and annoyance on ac- count of the settling of the mining ground, and constant care and atten- tion, with a plentiful supply of tim bers. was necessary to avoid serious delay
 Since the weather has become nor nal again the Cananea company is rapidly approaching its usual figures of production monthly, which is in the neighborhood of six million pounds A change that will be of much con yenience to those engaged in mining in Northern Sonora, Mir. Dwight states was made this week, when the Mexi can government installed Senor Cubil las at Cananea as land agent for the northern part of the state. Hereto fore it has been necessary to go tC Arizpe to transact land business witt the government in Sonora.

GOOD COUNTRY
 ABOUT MAMOS
H. F. SMITH SECURES THE CON cESSION WHICH HAS PRO-
 DUcEb s4o,ooo,o 900. c
Jos. L. ObermuIIer, Who Made the Deal is Now in Douglas and Tells of the Alsmos Country. A

Jos. l.. Obermuller has just return ed from Alamos, Sonora. Mexico, where he closed an important mining deal for H. F. Smith and associates, having purchased from Don Clemente |. Cora, the noted Proncotoic and Guadalupe concession, this being the property that made Alamos and pro duced over forty millions above the adit tunnel at depth of $50 feet, the property joing the Quintera which is now down 500 feet is on the same lode the prospects in that section of Mex and producing large profits. MT Obermuller is very enthusiastic over ico. a number of sales have been made lately to concession companies, among them the Miacas Nueva which was acquired by Nogales people and is property of importance. The firm of Moody, Brady & Harrington have talk en over the Piedras Verdes. copper property from which great results are expected. The above firm has re- gently established an engineering of 1ice in Aiamos and as they are ali men of reputation in the mining world they should be a great help to min ing men going into that section. Mir Hardy was recently appointed Amer ican consul at A1amos. This section of Sonora is undeveloped and in the opinion of MT. Obermuller, it has a great future.
 Speaking of his trip MT. Obermuller continued: Going from Guaymas to Alamos went by stage both ways which took me through the lower Yaqui Indian country and saw the most fertile soil of Mexico, and it is of great extent and if it was in the hands of good farmers the crops woud be enormous. Whie there is no question as to the danger travelling through this country I am pleased to say the Mexican authorities do every thing possible to make it safe. On the return trip from Alamos the Perfect advised us to take the steamer route though owing to being pushed for time we concluded to take the stage, when the Perfect voluntarily offered guides and gave us letters to General Torres and others asking them to see that we passed safely through the coun. try, as the stage through the part most dangerous is accompanied by Hurdles we declined further assist ance and passed safely through. Be fore long the stage will be out ot business as a concession has been granted to build a railroad from Guaymas to the coast and in that con cession it specifies the road must go through Alamos. It will soon open up one of the richest mining and az ricuItural sections of Mexico. I am also pleased to say that the Mexicans about Alamos are very courteous and ready to assist foreigner in every way" , ss,s. 2

PLACER MINING NEAR MORENO

..The Morenci Leader reports that parties are now washing out gold in Gold Gulch, near that place, and mak- ing from $10 to $20 per day each. Dsripg the first few years after the discovery of this section, much placer gold was cafen from Gold Gulch, Pinkard's Gulch, Chase Creek, the San Francisco river and gulches tributary thereto. Considering the vast amount of gold that was taken from the placers of this section during the early days, it is quite remarkable that no gold mines of importance have since been discovered there.

ERECTED THE FAMILY ALTAR
Story Of Gen. Fisk and How His Little
Girls Query Struck
Home.

The following incident from the
early manhood OF the late Gen Clin-
ton 3. Fisk is but one case in many:
He had thrown himself into business
pursuits after his marriage. and grad
ually had ceased to think OF religion.
One night about four years after his
marriage his little three-yearold
daughter came and knelt at his knee
TO say her evening prayer. II was
trying experience TO the young father,
especially when Mary prayed: God
bless papa and mamma" II was still
worse when. rising TO kiss him good
night, the child asked: Papa, why
don't you pray?" He made some light
answer and went of TO the bank TO
balance his accounts. But he was
deeply moved. When he returned home
and ne and his wife we're alone he
said: did you hear the question
Mary asked me?" Yes Clinton. /
heard H." answered Mrs Fisk. well.
Jenny, I've been thinking ii all over,
and I've made up my mind that with
Gods help well have the prayer
there ought to be In this household
hereafter. II you'll hand me the Bible
we'll begin now" They did so; the
family altar was reared, and never
after. either in sunshine or In storm,
was It taken down.

VALUE OF MINUTES.
An Incident in a Carpet Establish
ment Which Emphasizes the
Value of Time.

Perhaps there never was given
more striking instance of the value
of minutes. says George b. Griffith. In
New York Observer, than the follow
ing. and which we wish the young
folks 10 remember.
A party OF ladies and gentlemen
were shown through a large carpet es-
tablishment In Broadway New York,
not long ago. They were permitted to
look into every nook and corner Of the
building except one. At the bottom Of
the stairway leading to the top floor
they came upon a closed door, upon
which we're the words in large script.
Positively No Admittance" The
curiosity OF most Of the ladies was
awakened at once.

eagerly.
"That is our workshop" explained
the representative of the large firm.
I'VE have $50 women on that floor
sewing carpets"
"Oh. ! should so like to see them at
work." said the fair questioner. with
a playfully beseeching look.
Il am sorry that | cannot take you
up" replied the firms representative,
but the rules are very strict. In fact
imperative But really. there is moth.
ing worth looking at and there are
no trade secrets there. as in some
places. The reason why the firm in
terdicts visitors is because the pres
ence Of strangers in the room causes
every sewing woman to look up, and
takes her attention of her work from
one TO five minutes. Suppose each
woman loses an average of two min
utes-a low estimate-then with $50
women that means a loss 10 the firm
of 300 minutes, or five hours of time.
You will readily see that this, often
repeated. is too much to lose when We
are working under a full head Of
steam. as we are now, to catch up with
important orders"
