Active Developrnent---A Good Strike is
 Made
Continuous Operation Assured In The
 Future
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The Lincoln mine in the Bradshaws has been under operation for some time with a good force of miners, and the five stamp mill has likewise been running on a half shift.
 Owing to the scarcity of water the plant has been unable to accommodate what the mine is capable of producing in ore. With this handicap, however, the plates carry a good percentage of the "free," while the cOncentrators pick up the remaining values. It is proposed that this drawback will to a certain extent be remedied so far as the reduction processes are to be con sidered in the futur, and Mir. George, who is now on the ground, has deemed it advisable to substitute gasoline pow CT instead of hanging onto steam, and increase the power of the mill to five additional stamps. These additions are now en route.
 The development of the mine progress ses with the most satisfactory results. and it may be said with conservatism that the property has the best showing today it ever had. On the lower level 200 feet deep, winze is being sunk, and heavy sulphide ore, carrying rich values in copper and gold, was struck at that point. This ore will be ship ped.
 The upper workings from the mine supply the mill, and from which the free and concentrating ores are taken. It is the purpose of the company to continue the operation of the property steadily in the future and extensively develop the ground and to greater depth. The Lincoln has the reputation of being the prettiest place in the southwest for mining camp, nestled as it is on a strip of comparatively level ground in a forest of pine, and at an elevation that gives it a sweep of the country for miles around.
 Henry Tharsing, one of the best known miners in this section, is in charge of the property and its develop ment.

NOVEL SNAKE SWING.
Reptile That Used Hoist Rope for
 His Own Pleasure.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

One of the oldest photographs ever seen among the amateur set who de- light in pointing at almost any old thing that looks out of the ordinary, is owned by Superintendent D. S. Coch- ran, of the Pittsburg-Jerome mine. One day while walking toward a small hoist out in the desert section, his at tention was drawn to the queer action of an inanimate rope that swung from the windlass into the shaft. The rope seemed to be swaying, despite the fact that no one was near to touch it, and there was not a particle of breeze that might have blown it into motion.
 When he drew near to the rope he found that a snake had twined itself about the rope, and was about twenty feet below the windlass, apparently having a fine time of it, swinging from one side of the shaft to the other. The superintendent had his camera with him and tried to get view while the snake was below. In this he was disappOint- ed. as his presence frightened the rep tile, and it hurriedly started for the top of the rope. As his snakeship reached the surface, the superintendent who was at a safe distance, got fine shot at it with his camera. The photos are actual curiosities. The snake ap- pears too large for rattler, as he was too busy taking pictures to get near enough to see the varmint.'

once, and work on the mine rushed. At the mill considerable bullion is be- ing turned out, while the big teams are being kept busy hauling concentrates to the railroad for shipment to the smelter These concentrates are rich in gold and silver.
 Charles Burlock. owner of the ia nous Mossback mine, arrived in town Monday last, and departed Wednesday afternoon to Union Pass, where he is interested in other mining property. He will visit the Mossback and it is be- lieved will soon have it in operation again. The mine has been opened to depth of 300 feet and shows an i'm mense vein of high grade gold ore.
 J. W. Gerritt came in from Todd Basin Wednesday morning. He re- ports that William and Frank O'Dea have located an immense quartz DOT phyry vein in that section that shows big values in gold. The vein has a width of fifty feet in the outcrop, and mornings made from all over the vein show values in free gold. The gentle men are at work on the mine, and ex- peet to prove it a bonanza.
 Joe Telford, a Salt Lake mining man, has taken an option on a num- Der of mining claims over in the Min nesota mining district, and will at once commence operations on them. The mines are copper, and the veins are hundreds of feet in width. Indeed, so large is one of these mines that it is a veritable mountain of ore. Samples of the big veins show low grade in copper. but as the veins carry values in gold and silver, it is thought that they can be made to pay handsomely. The properties have been held for a number of years by residents of Utah, who have yearly done their annual work. Recently Chloride people made a number of locations in the same neighborhood. and an attempt has been made to place them. It is probable that in the near future that section of the Big Bend country will become a large producer of copper.

TROLLEY LINE A MYTH.

The building of a eurio salesroom on the forest reserve here will likely be the entering wedge for the growth of good sizd town. With this and the coming of the projected "trolley line'' from the northern rim across the can yon to Bright Angel for carrying pass engers across to the other side, will pass forever the distinctive features of the old Bright Angel camp. We see by the telegraph columns of the daily papers that some Utah capitalists have the latter project in view, but they have their figures somewhat mixed, as they talk of a cable 800 feet in length spanning gorge at a height of 5000 feet.-Williams News.

Silver Mines of Tiptop Again Produce
 Bullion
Over Two Carloads of Chloride Ore Are
 Shipped
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Politically speaking, silver may have had a kink put into it a decade or so ago, but in one instance that is peeuli- arly striking in this day of mining progress is that TiptOp, once the queen of all Arizona silver camps, will not bow to the inevitable In short, they are at it again in that old time dis trict. and if the shipment of two ear loads of galena and chloride ores that passed through Crown King last week is any criterion, it is but reasonable to believe that that section as well as the industry there will be revived in the very near future.
 Frank Wager, who is regarded as probably the best posted miner in Ari- zona, so far as the Tiptop mineral belt is to be judged, has taken up all the ground he deems desirable. and for several months has been diligently at work. He says that he has been as- sorting ores from the old dumps as well as developing new ground, and eonsid- ering the financial trend of the market today, he feels somewhat elated over the results that have attended his eff forts in a camp that has been nearly forgotten. Furthermore, he appreci- ates what the possibilities are in that section, relying as he says, on the high grade shoots of ore that abound at many places that were overlooked in the days gone.
 The past history of Tiptop was practically the life of mining in this section at one time. It produced mil lions when the scales tipped it at S1.29 an ounce, but when the old Tiptop mine presumably played out at the 600 foot level, and the finishing touches were given the white metal by legisla- tion and political issues, the old camp crumbled into decay, and for years no human cared to follow the only pursuit it offered. The shipment that has just been made by Mir. Wager goes to Fl Paso, and the statement is made that it is worth over $1OO ton in gold. In the early days ore carrying 600 ounces to the ton was common occurrence from the Tiptop region.

 Mir. Sivyer has been a frequent visi- tor to his old haunts here of late, but cannot recall a landmark of the earlier period as time and the progress of the day has wiped them away. He believes that this section has a very bright fu- ture. and that its mineral field is more inviting than ever.

SMALLEY LUNG TURNS STATE s
 EVIDENCE.
Accuses Lee Dan of Setting Fire to the
 Boarding House at Val Verde.
(FrOm Sundays Daily.)

At the preliminary hearing in the case of alleged arson against Chinese, who are accused of setting fire to the company eating house at Val Verde, held yesterday before Justieee Talbot, Lee Dan, wirey looking little China man, was held to answer before the grand jury under bond of $1 ,000. The hearing grew into rather dramatic re- cital of a crime, from the fact that "Smalley" Lung, one of the three of the suspects, turned states evidence.
 As will be remembered, a few days ago the eating house of the company was burned to the ground under a series of most suspicious circumstances pointing to the Chinese who had pre- viously conducted the place having set fire to the building. As a result, Charley Lee Fong, we'll known China man in this district, as well as the oth- CT two, were apprehended. "Smalley" Lung was detained in jail for lack of bond. day longer than Charley Lee Fong, who was released on bonds after a night in jail Later Lee Dan was jailed. and at the hearing yesterday the story told by witnesses points to Lee Dan having been the perpetrator of the crime.

May Day.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The observance of May day, which gave
unalloyed pleasure to the youth of old Eng
land, has fallen into neglect. Writers who
are fond of tracing institutions to their an
cient origins find the beginning of the May
day festival in the tributes paid to Maia,
and afterward to Flora. the Roman god
desses of fertility. Whatever their origin,
the excursion to the woods and fields, the
gathering of flowers and green boughs, the
Maypole the dance the village green by
moonlight were beautiful customs which
frightened prosaic lives in centuries past.
The Queen of May fingers in poetry only on
this side of the Atlantic. The Maypole does
not grace the village green. 1t is not often
seen in England. A British writer laments
the departure of the May ceremonial, rem
dered dear by the descriptions of a hundred
poets; regrets the disappearance of the viii
layers who
Danced about the Maypole and In the hazel copse

Everybody was once expected to rise early

| to come home laden with the spoil of the
woods and fields. Time was when English
youth blew horns about the streets very
early on the first of May to call up the
maids young and DID," to go a-Maying.
| There was much drinking from horns, too,

"the pleasantest of that part of the year.

A Journalists Great Work.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
At the dinner given in London to Fred
er1ck Greenwood, long the editor of the
Pail Mall Gazette and St James Gazette,
tributes were paid to his worth and serv-
ices by men like John Morley, who pre-
sided. Mr. Asquith and Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman.
When the fate of the Suez canal hung
in doubt in 1875 it was Greenwood who,
learning that the spendthrift IsmaiI Pasha
wished to sell his shares secretly. urged
the foreign secretary, Lord Derby, to buy
them for the government and secure Brit
ish control. Derby demurred. There were
would prove a colossal failure. Besides,
there was no money available, and to ask
for grant from parliament would reveal
the whole plan. Greenwood convinced the
hesitating secretary that the emergency
justified taking the national consent for
granted and with the approval of the pre-
mier, the far-seeing Disraeli the purchase
was made Then Lord Derby. as was hum
orously told at the dinner, supposed
there was nothing he could do for Mr..
Greenwood. No. there was nothing. At
least, said Derby, he might let Greenwood
paper tell the news exclusively No; better
let all the papers have it at once, the jour
nalist replied.
The shares cost England 500, 600 900 and
are now worth $50 600 900 Far more i'm
portant, their purchase gave the kingdom
the control of the water highway between
Europe and Asia and that preponderant
interest in Egypt that led to its occupa-
ton, to the protectorate, to the defeat of
the Mahdists-and, through the recent ar
rangement with France. to the giving of
Great Britain free hand" in what is
perhaps the most successful and most de-
feasible exploit of colonization in modern
times.
