BLACK RIVER.
Plenty of Rain and Snow-Good Out
 look for CattIemen.


 BLACK RIVER, Fl. Apache Ariz.. April g. 1905 Editor Copper Era.
 We have not noticed items from our section in our Clifton paper for d number of months. and as we are desirOus that our friends should know that Black river is still hurrying down towards Salt river, and that il the season continues as it has foI | three months past, we will in time l have water enough in our vicinity to | justify q man slipping q line in his pocket when he heads this way later in the season. So much rain and snow has not been experienced in the history of thc country. Cattle and horses have not wintered as well as might have been expected on ac- count of so much bad weather and the ground being so boggy, but if We can only have nice weather now, stock will soon fatten on the fast growing feed. On the first of this month the country known as Ash flat, south of the Mantack mountains. was visited by d hard rain, followed by ten inches of snow. The C ( C outfit were compelled to gather the government beef issue for San Carlos The general makeup of the Apache nccessitates beef rain or shine, con sequently. we went plowingI over the -gat gathering -5tcers, wiSle our | horses went most to their knees al every step and the glare of the sun on the white snow was enough tC make the angels weep. It was no unusual sight to see q cowboy start to head off bunch of cattle. his horse would bog down and then the good humOred punCher would head the steers on foot. Everything passed as a joke and the air was often blue with birthstone, caused from much carefully chosen language. But this was merely because it was considered that the occasion demanded some thing in this line, not that any harm was intended at all. There are times when the most up-to-date language will hardly suit the occasion, and while unlike the cowboys, the C C C men usually keep q copy of the ten commandments hanging in their tent and all effort is made to abide by them. We should be excuSe ed if d spring like this, we sometime wan der from their teachings.
 Hundreds of San Carlos ApaC Chcs have been furnished work by wash outs on the Globe railroad this win ter, six hundred of them being en- ployed at one time. Doubtless this fact would look diScouraging to those that insist that the Indian will not work. A close observer can not fail to see that the Apache is usually glad to accept work. thereby earning money to buy the luXuries so dear to even an Indians heart.
 Some of the boys near the Gila river said they heard q train whistle. but it was later found to be only the weekly steamer coming up from Yuma. Unfortunately, how ever, the boat was last seen at an- ChOr at the wharf at Ft. Thomas. having ran into a sna9 and having to lay up for repairs. The passengers were trying to make towns with a mountain tourist company (with bur rOS) to take them over to Clifton and up to Duncan. However, we are patiently trusting that the road will soon he in full operation again.

"GOLDEN STATE LIMITED" The Most Perfectly Appointed Train in
 America.

In view of the increased popularity of trains numbered 43 and II, more familiarly known as the ..Golden State Limited it has been decided to continue this train in trasconti- mental service throughout the season. instead of discontinuing the same with the close of winter tourist travel. as formerly. This train, con >isting of buffet library car. stand ard and tourist sleeperS, between Chicago. Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Francisco, will he operated daily, on the same schedule as eff feCtive during the winter months It will be noted that these schedules afford the quickest time between points in Colorado, Arizona. New Mexico, Texas. and the entire south west, and Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago. Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Buff falo, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and all points east.
 Your liberal patronage the last few months has assured the popularity of this train, and in an endeavor to further serve you it has been decided to not discontinue this service. as has been customary.

Copper on the Rise.

Seventeen-Cent copper Is not an impossibility now. The stock of the red metal is being rapidly depleted, while the demand is increasing at an alarming rate. Foreign demand has caused American consumers to bid higher to protect themselves, and the operator finds himself on d rising market Nor is it possible to supply this demand. All the copper proper ties of the United States are working to their limit of productions: more and more of the red metal has been poured into the channels of con- merce. but the price has, neverthe- less. continued to raise.
 There is difficulty at the present time to supply the home market, let alone the foreign: and that must be taken into account, since foreign buyers are here. determined to ob- tain their wants. or make the Ameri- can consumer pay q higher price.
 This means q higher price for considerable length of time. since copper mines are not made to order. but are developed through long and tedious work to operate on d gigantic scale. It requires. frequently. years of eparation to reach the realiza- tion of production, and there are few properties in existence where it re- quires but the erection of q reduction plant to convert the copper in the ground into marketable value. Where such properties do exist, mills and smelters are being rushed to completion, to take advantage of the rise but even this will not tend to lower the price. since all of the properties upon which reduction plants are being erected cannot sup ply sufficient red metal to cause COZ per to fall in the scale of value and, as stated above. it takes years to de- velop q copper mine but, the mine has first to be discovered, before that can happen even.
 It is for this reason that producers of copper are wearing such broad smiles

Minor children born in the United States are citizens and may locate mining claims, and may participate in the location of claims to the same extent as adult citizens. Neither age or sex is considered in defining who is a citizen, for the term includes men. women and children. If the minors are too young to act for themselves. others may make the location for them in their interest. but their names once having been placed on the no- tice they cannot be deprived of their rights in the propcrty.-M.

Mining Men Suffer.

The purpose of the new tarilf on dynamite which aggregates %24t | Mexican money per ton is to protect the product of the immense factory built by company of conCession- aries near Gomez PalaciO. Durango, but the matter is bitterly resented by the mining fraternity throughout the republic and the government has been flooded with protests from {, great many mining companies.
 While the government has estab- lished d table of rates or charges for every state and camp in Mexico, the mining men assert. and it is a fact at present, that the factory near Gomez cannot supply the 3.500 tons of dynamite and other necessary eX- plosives needed, and the result will be that the mine owners will have to buy much foreign product plus the cXorbitant duties. The result they claim, will be the shutting down of many mines.
 No other factory can start up in opposition, for the Gomez Palacio plant is exempt from the bulk of the interior taxes, which exemption no other company can get. and cOnse- quently could not compete.
 The mining men feel. and justly. too. that they are the heaviest taxed people in all Mexico. and now this load is an extremely unjust burden.
 A producing mine. which pays its taxes according to the letter of the laws, cannot get off with less than $ per cent. of its output. It can be said, however, that President Diaz is now having new mining law formed which is to greatly reduce these bur dens which will put them on d more equitable basis. The mining law generally is the best in the world. but this great industry in Mexico has had the advantage of rich and virgin mines and these tax burdens have Crept ill unawares. Large landed es- tates pay practically nothing. The new mining law with the reduced taxation will be promulgated now very soon. and the mining men still hope to get some relief from dyna- mate monopoly.

GoLnFIELDs, Nevada, April ' 1905 ! O the Copper Era.
 AS have leisure hour I thought it would be proper to tell you some thing about this great Goldfeld camp.
 It lays near the head of Death Valley and near the Ralston desert. It is healthy here, very few deaths Tine wind makes life dreary. The sand storms come very often. l have been here over two weeks and have seen two days of sunshine. and those days were 50 piercing that it's bright rays almost turned me blind. 1 can name over fifty claims that are talk in" out good shipping ores. But low grade such as $iO and 3jO to the ton cannot be shipped until q railroad gets here. Tonopah keeps up its good name and will be good camp for many year, to come. Goldiields is the best zone for gold was ever in. The streaks of gold lay in every direction and one can pan from most every shaft. Water is good and will be plentiful in q few months. Water is struck in many shafts.
 Dr. Davis, Of MOrcnci and Clifton. i, erecting stamp mill here. Will liam Bu-rcll. of Morenci, will come and attcrd to it- completion.
 | saw tie two Bryant brothers here, one in q store and the other in the butcher shop. He is foreman for the Columbia Town market and Gold field, Meat market.
 In coming into Goldfclds you must come through the little town of Columbia. but the next minute you are in Goldlicld,. it has d population of about 1000 people, about 100 children, 900 women and 6,iO0 men, the most of them idle. l see men walk up and down all the time day and night. Nothing to do. X poor wo- man committed suicide the other day: drunken brute of d husband, two lit tie children for the people to take care of. Very little crime here: one holdup and few tents robbed in the night time.
 Diamondfcld is showing up good and d great many new strikes are made every day.
 II. <. Underwood and other gentle men. of Los Angeles. have some fine looking ground. They have five claims right close to the Black Butte and not far from the noted Diamondfcld group. They are in q fine location. The belt of gold seems to he five miles wide by eight miles long, but they are finding it everywhere. They are close to the Taenono springs. Their claims lay up against the side of q good sized hill and water can be developed from the center of their group.
 find many old faces here, but the most are from Colorado.
 One great drawback is wood. We have fine Sampling plant and q couple of stamp mills so far, but machinery will come in soon for more mills and cheaper fuel. The idle men are a fright to look at. but am satisfied with the country.
 \ party of masked men took man out to the edge of Goldfelds night before last and told him to skip. He had been one of the guards at Grip pl,, (rCPl, Colnr1dn
