Queer Use for Mercury.

The use of mercury in the search
for body in the canal at Brentford
this week is not altogether unprece-
dented. The advantage of mercury is
that 1t finds lower level than any
other substance that could be employ
ed for Weighing graphing irons. and
is of advantage in searching through
mud or sand into which body has
sunk beyond the reach of ordinary
dragging implements.-Pal Mall Ga.

For his object is to evangelize the com

liver a doughnut he delivers a short
talk on the need OF salvation and a
stanza of some uplifting verse. 1t
should go without saying that he is
conscientious baker and gives full
weight and plenty of sugar; that he
does not fry his products in rancid

the fresh ones on top when he is to sell
them by the peck, leaving the gnarly

Therefore. he predisposes the recipient

be well If the custom could extend it

sing hymns as he draws oil for his

would accompany the hammering of

might be less feeling against the

Dick Marshall is shipping this week
10 tons of gold ore which will average
sl60 per ton. Dick has had pretty
hard time developing his property, but
he is now on Easy street.
The Ash peak mines, near Duncan,
which have been shut down for the past
few years, will soon begin operations
with full complement of men. A car
load of ore, taken from the dump, with
out asserting, was recently shipped,
which brought returns of S37 in gold
and silver, and it is expected that the
entire dump will average as well. In
addition to this there is considerable
high-grade ore, which will bring the
average up much higher. The mines
are situated about eight miles to the
westward of the Arizona & New Mex
leo railroad and are reached by good
wagon aoad. Tom Larkin, an expert
enced mining man, will have charge of
the property.
From the Clifton Herald.
The famous yellow copper ore, carry
ing about $40 in gold besides, is again
coming in at the Chase Greek Copper
company's mine. For experiment, a
short drift was run on one of the veins
last week, which showed that it inc reas-
ed in width from l foot to q feet. The
ore stock pile can now be seen from the
railroad, quarter of a mile away. 1t
will be shipped to the smelter without
any sorting. The first shipment to the
smelter will be very pretty mineral
green, blue and yellow copper ore.
Last week a representative of the
Herald visited the Weaver mines, in the
Greenlee district, five miles north of
Clifton, and reports one of the most
delightful little camps in the district.
At the present time two shifts are driv-
ing a erosscut on the Copper Wedge
claim. II will require about 80 feet
more to cut the ledge, which is feet
wide on the surface with an l8-inch
streak Of solid high-grade smelling ore
opened up. This shoot shows on the
surface for 200 feet, and is on the same
ledge that has been shipper of high
grade gold and copper ores for several
years.

The Detroit Copper Mining company
has just leta contract to the S. E. Bow
er company, of Fort Wayne, Ind, for
the erection of system of self meas

The Harryhousen and Verde Chief

Work on the Venture Hill company's S

results. The splendid showing being
exposed on the property is encouraging
investors and the company is now in a
condition to carry on development

Development work on the Cleopatra

The Octave Gold Mining company has

Trust company of Pittsburg, TO cover a
loan of 5000, 900, which it is said will be
at once available to push on work at
this well-known mine. The deal is in
the nature of bond issue authorized
at the February meeting of the board
of directors of the mining company,
there having been a block of 400 bonds
ordered issued at par value Of $500

The gasoline holster has been remov-
ed from the Mossback mines to the old
Moss mine, where work is now being
carried on under the management of
W. p. Mcpherson. A new and better
hoist is being installed at the Moss
back. The old Moss mine is sure to be
bonanza should the Gold Giant people
carry on extensive development. Pock-
cts of ore are sure to be encountered
that will net thousands of dollars to
the ton. In the early days the mine
produced ore in the outcrop that netted
more than $50, 900 to the ton.
Major Mensch is preparing to install
hosting plant at the Enterprise mine
and it is understood that his visit to
California was for the purpose of pur-
chasing the necessary machinery. The
Enterprise is one of the largest bodies
of gold-silver-copper ore in the country
and with proper development will be a
big shipper. The shaft has reached a
depth of 200 feet and is getting into
the sulphide zone, where it is expected
the permanent change has taken place.
The mine is situated about II miles
east of Kingman and in an accessible
part af the Wallapai mountains.
The most notable thing in the chlor-
ide country just now is the starting of
the Socorro mill. 1t will be remember
ed that fine twenty stamp mill was
placed on the Socorro mine a year or
two ago, but did not run long for vari-
Gus reasons, but mainly because the
mine had not been sufficiently develop
ed to produce the ore. About year
ago the management was placed in the
hands of S. c. Smith who has finally
placed the property on a producing
basis. He remodeled the mill some
what to meet the necessities of the ore
and introduced every practicable econ
omy in the development of the enter
prise. And all the time he was devel-
oping the mine with a force of miners
under competent foreman so that ho
now has enough ore actually blocked
out to keep the mill running for year

which are located about eighteen miles
south of this city, returned TO the camp
last evening. This property is being
thoroughly developed and the company
is engaged in sinking four shafts to
depth of 800 feet. An old smeter at
the mines will be put in shape for re-
ducing the ore.
r. N. Leatherwood is in the city from
his mines at the Apache camp, located
in the Santa Catalinas, thirty-fve miles
north of Tucson. Mr. Leatherwood is
shipping some of his high-grade ore
from the Giant mine, which will average
25 per cent copper, $l gold and three
ounces silver. The ore is packed on
burros for sixteen miles down into the
Canyon del Orc and from there brought
TO Tucson by wagons. 1t is the inten-
tion TO make the first carload thirty
tons, which will give good return as
well as make good test of the work

has six claims in the Apache group. He
has been prospecting and developing
these mines for fifteen years.
