ARIZONA INDIAN GUIDE
 WILL SHOW THE WAY
TO SEARCH FOR LOST TREASURE
 NEAR CHA BEND.
Ross Brown, Old Prospector of Ari- zona, and a Famous Apache Guide the Searchers-Notes of Interest About the Industry.

Guided by the only living scalped Indian in Arizona, Ross Brown, one of the oldest prospectors in Arizona, has left Phoenix to search for lost treasure in the low foothills between that city and Gila Bend.
 Brown and his Apache guide are both old men and in the early days were prominent in the fights between the white and red men. Ross took part in the fight in which his guide was scalped. He took no direct part. but saw it done.
 In the memory of the oldest inhabi- tant of Maricopa county the lost gold mines in the hills about fifty miles south of Phoenix have been searched for at times, but never found.
 Because of the barren district and absence of water ih the district in which the search must be made but few prospectors have had the courage to brave the dangers. The bleaching bones of many who made the attempt have been covered by the shifting sands.
 When asked if he did not think there was great risk to be taken by trusting himself alone in the hills with an Apache who had been scalp ed by his party, Brown stated that he would as soon go with him as anyone else.
 The Indian has given Brown his solemn promise that he will guide him directly to where the lost mines are located. He claims to have been at them many times since they were left by the Mexicans forty years ago.
 These lost mines have long been listed among the numerous phantom stories that draw many into the search for lost treasure.
 It is related that a century ago the padres iD charge of the Mexicans dis covered these mines and had as many as fifteen arastras working at one time. taking out hundreds of thou sands of dollars worth of coarse gold. At other times Chihuahua parties worked it.
 Frequent raids by the bloodthirsty Apaches drove the treasure hunters away. Several times every man at work in and around the arastras was murdered. But others were willing to take the risk, and followed them in to share in the immense fortune that waited for those courageous enough to brave the Indian raids.
 Browns guide was with some of the Apaches on these raids. and knows the location of the lost mines so well that he believes it will not be difficult to go to them without delay. Brown is banking on his promises.
 Years of searching have been spent by Brown in his quest for this proper ty. Though he has known his Apache guide for many years, it was only re gently that the Indian told him where l it was to be found.

Risbee and Miscellaneous.
ATTHE comMoNwsALrH.

. Will Longfield, who arrived here re gently from Pearce, where he has been employed at the Commonwealth mine, says that the property is show ing signs of caving ill again, and that the leasers. Messrs. Smith & Compa- ny, are getting what ore they can out as fast as possible, and that as soon as everything in the way of valuable ore is secured the ground underneath the part now showing signs of sinking will be mined and caved down and a new shaft started away from the bad ground.
 About three acres of the surface ground will be let down into the mine and this, together with the ground af fected by the former cave, will about finish up the old workings of the Com rlonwealth as far as any further ore extraction is cOncerend.
 The mine will probably be caved in towards the end of the year unless lt should happen to tackle the job natur ally in the meantime.

ROBERT MITCHELL AT cANANEA
Interested in the South Cananea Cop per Co.,, Which Has Good
 Showing.

MT. Robert Mitchell, formely gener- al manager of the C. C. c. Co.,, and now president and general manager of the South Cananea Copper Mining Company, the holdings of which lie immediately south of the Massey ore body No. 2, of the C. c. c. Co.,, was in Cananea for several days last week, inv estigating the local affairs If the company, the extent of work already accomplished and making arrange ments for future operations, says the Cananea Herald.
 MT. Mitchell made a thorough study of the indications revealed by the workings now on the property, and from the results disclosed he felt war ranted in immediately ordering a com plete steam hoist to be delivered on the ground within thirty days of the telegraphic message. Surface indica- tions. and sub-surface formation, dis closed by the shaft now being sunk, show identically the same character istics revealed in in the developing of the famous Massey deposit, and lead to the opinion that the ore body will be struck when a depth of about 125 feet 1 is reached-the shaft now being down to S5 feet. Work on the present shalt will be pushed at once to 200 feet or more, with laterals al various levels and in addition a number of explOrato ry shafts will be immediately started for the purpose of exactly determin ing the position and extent of the min eral zone.
 The holdings of the South Cananea | Company now include, all told, an area of 425 pertenencias, comprehending | several separate announcements as fol lows: The Collins, SO5 pertenencias | immediately adjoining the c. c. ;
 Co.'s property; the Mckinley, 40 per tenencias; the Arizpe, 60 pertenencias
 and the Homestake, of 20 pertenen
 cias-the three latter lying to the
 south of the Collins.

THE NAco SHELTER.

Contracts have been let for addi- IiOnal wells to supply the MitchelPs Naco smelter with an assured and am pie supply of water. The electric plant and refrigerating system have been ordered and are on the way, while bids for the installation of a complete 250-ton smelting plant are now being considered by the manage ment. Plans and details have been adopted, and save for delay incident to transportation and erection of ma terials, the plant will probably be in operation early in 1906. The electri- cal plant for furnishing electrical H. Iumination, together with the ice plant will assuredy commence turnng out their products before the end of the current year. The smelter, while pri- n aIiIy for the purpose of reducing the ore fIom the mines of the South Cana nea company. will also handle custom ore to the limit of it's capacity.
 The erection and operation of a ST elter, entailing as it will the expen- allure of a large sum of money in in- vestment and wages, can not but most fayorably affect the prosperity of Naco. her population and property val ues.-Cananea Herald.

Other Bonanza Stocks Helped Upward by C. & A. Movement-looks Like Good Week Ahead Denn in Strong Demand-Junction Wanted.
By Frank J. Graf.)

Bisbee, Sept. 25
 Today's market was wonder, and from indications it will continue to- morrow At the early part of the day bids were firm, and all offered taken without the least bit of trouble. Almost at the close something took place which caused he market to take on a terrific upward tendency in C. & A. We have nothing as yet to inform the public what caused the advance in C. & A, but we would imagine that there is a probability of C. & A. be- ing listed on the Boston Board. We do not say this for a fact, but we can not see any other reason for the sud den advance in this particular stock. All other stocks which we list are governed to a great extent by the ac- ton of C. & A. Calumet & Pittsburg made many sales at s37.50, while L.. s. & P. sold at $5G.75.
 Pittsburg & Duluth has puzzled a great many, and all are after 1t. There was a chance If you remember to buy this up at SIS and Sl6-all you want ed Junction continues to be the chief feature in the traders market sales being made at S2S.50 and all kinds of orders from the Copper COun- try to offer them all the Junction Te have for sale We bought up June tion to make a good thing out of it. and we will hold on for a while. We look to see Junction see the 30 mark before the close of thc week-some say S35. but we would like to be con servative. Denn also is in big de mand, and Bisbee at present is clean ed up of all Denn under SIS that we know of Manhattan sales at ST.75, while Warren sold at S12.50.
 North Butte also took on a few points, and at the close we made the market by offering a few shares for sale at $4S. Looks like $50.

BIG ROCK DRILLING CONTEST.

Fl Paso. Texas, Sept. 25.-One Of the biggest miners rock drilling con tests ever held in the west is planned as one of the features of the coming meeting of the American Mining com gress in this city on November Ii. These contests are very novel and at tract the best drillers from the various big camps of the country and have always brought big crowds to this sec ton whenever given. As the prizes will be large and the best drillers will be attracted thereby. it is expected that this event alone will attract a large number of people to the con, gress. At the last drilling contest in this city a worlds record was estab lished, which is still unbroken.

Mr.. Krotel first came into the case when
he was assigned to prosecute Charles II.
Able. who was arrested on complaint of
Edwin NJ Post, who charged that Able at
tempted to force him to subscribe $500 for

Very strange to modern eyes would be the
armament Of Great Britain's medieval
navy. The very names Of many of the i'm

According to the books, in the year 1887 the
vessels of the navy were furnished with
"espringalds." ancient spring guns, "hau-

helmets; bows, arrows. doublets, targets
''payises," large shields placed at the sides
and serving the double purpose of protec-
ton against the sea and against the enemy;
lances and firing barrels" AS early as
1888 cannon formed part OF the armament
of ships, and about 1872 guns and gunpow-
der were commonly used. Among the stores
belonging to one vessel of that time were
three iron cannon with five chambers a
hand gun and three old stone bags, probably
for shot. Another ship had an iron cam
non with two chambers and one brass can
non with one chamber.
Among other implements of war used at
that time were ''cannon-paviors" or stone
shot throwers and "murtherers" which were
smaller and threw any kind of shot. There
were also "basilisks. port pieces stock
fowlers,' 'sakers' and 'bombards.' The
bombards were of hammered iron made of
bars welded and bound together with iron
bands. They threw stone shot weighing be-
