Abroken all records this season. Our sales
on these machines have been remarkable,

The Deering won the highest praise
where Others failed. Deering Corn Har-

are better now When you come to town

MOHAvE COUNTY
The Weeks Mining News as Reported
 by Exchanges

From the Mohave Miner.
 w. R. Davis and J. H. Garratt, of Los Angeles, representing the Bene- dctine Mining company, have arrived in Kingman and are making arrangements for the taking over of large number of mines in the Cedar country upon which they have had an option for some months past. The mines are owned by Matthew and William Carr, J. A. Carrow, J. P. Ryan and others. It is also stated that the company has an option to purchase the Cedar Valley Mining company's property and are to pay the sum of $250, 900 for 1t. The company claims to have large amount of backing in the eastern states and has tied up property in many counties of the territory. The mines to be taken over by this company in Mohave county are among the best properties in the Wallapai mountains.
 The Keystone mine at Mineral Park, has a great body of ore in the stopes and more than a carload is ready to ship to the shelter. This ore is the richest taken from the property in re- cent years and it will be the means of putting it on paying basis. The mine has always been considered one of the richest in the county.
 A nice streak of ore was opened up in the Little Chief mine, at Stockton Hill, while doing assessment work. The new ore body is on the north end of the claim, close to the intersection with the Winchester mine. Many years ago big body of high grade ere was found in that vicinity, but slide cov- cred the old works and nothing further was done on the vein.

Reports From Many Districts m the Territory, Telling of Important Dis ooveries, Active Operations and Dr. oanixation of New Companies

Judge Kent has decided the famous Old Vulture mine case in favor of the old owners. The mines have been un- der the control of a watchman who was supposed to do the assessment work on them, but it is alleged that this he failed to do and they were re- located. The proof was made that with one exception the work had been done and the old company was quleted in its title to the property. It IS now probable that the mines will be worked
 A prospecting outfit has left for the mining district about 30 miles from the Haruua Hala and about 80 miles from Phoenix, where they will do consider able work on the claims known as the Eagle Tail group. The outfit will be m charge of John O. Ming who recently acquired it from Neri Osborn. About seven or eight hundred tons of ore, free milling gold, is on the dump the result of labor done in assessment work dur ing years past. Five men will accom- pany the party. In the group are l' claims and there are several adjoining claims in the district that may be pros pected. Republican.

Oil Sand at Del Rio

President J. c. Heslet of the of the Yavapai Oil and Development company operating near Del Rio, reports very favorably on the outlook for striking oil in the well. He says that the drill ing expert is convinced that they are on the track of oil and that it will be found in reasonably short time. The hole is now down over 600 feet and g genuine oil sand, according to the re. port of Mir. Heslet. has been struck. The driller says that the indications are very fattering. He is an old oil drillel with lots of experience elsewhere. The well will have to be cased for some dis. tance owing to its caving in. Some fire clay was passed through, after which the water rose in the hole. Thi. caused the fire clay to slough off an( fill the hole. e.-Republican.

FL TlGRe MINE RESTORED
Graham Crowd Loses and Kansas City
 People in Charge

Owing to the river being high no word was received from Fl Tigre mine until Wednesday when messenger ar rived in Yzabel. Tuesday Ismael Eli sondo, judge of the first instance of the district of Moctezuma, turned over the mine and all the property to B. A. Seitz, as the representative of the Fl Tigre people, and yesterday they began taking an inventory of the stock.
 During the time Mir. Graham has been at the mine large amount of ore has been taken out, but none of it has been sold and it is now all in the pos session of the Kansas City people.
 It is claimed that when MT. Graham took possession of the mine there was $33, 900 worth of stock in the store, and that at the present time there is very little on hand. The inventory is being taken to see what IS gone, and a suit for damages will undoubtedly be com menced against the Ensenada company for whatever the mine has suffered on account of the seizure.
 For the present, until other arrange ments have been made, B. A. Sietz will be in charge of the property as general manager. -International-A American.

STURCK IT RICH AT HANOVER
Body of High Grade Ore Found in the
 Phelps Dodge Mine

A special from Silver City, N. M., says: "The old Hanover mine, near Hanover, which is owned by the Phelps Dodge people reports rich strike the past few days. The Phelps-Dodge company has for the past three or four months been working large force of miners on the property doing develop ment work.
 "A large body of high grade copper ore was uncovered and, while at the present time it was impossible to state the exact extent of the body, 1t IS thought to be fully as extensive as the big strike which was made in this mine a few years ago when S25O, 900 of high grade copper ore was taken out. The ore will run from l4 to 20 per cent copper

COCHlSE COUNTY
Where Mining, the Chief Industry, IS
 Very Active

From the Douglas Dispatch.
 Frank Douglas is authority for the statement that vigorous deve@pment work has been resumed on the Scanlon property at Paradise in which he re- gently became interested. The present plan of development work consists Tn driving a tunnel under the ore body which previous work has demonstrated to exist. They expect to strike this ore body between five and six hundred feet. The shaft which opened up the fine body of gray sulphides is an incline l25 feet deep.
 On the surface of the Houghton De- velopment, the indications and condi- tions are very favorable, running to gold and silver. Development work on that property has brought tons of val uable ore to the surface, though noth- ing calculated to justify general work ing operations has put in an appear ance.
 The recent interest taken by the Cal umet & Arizona people in the Solomon Springs end of the Warren district, which is adjacent to Douglas, is mat ter of important significance. ltpoints to a resumption of development work in that locality. The day will inevi- tably arrive when general operations will have been resumed in the Solomon Springs section.

RICH STRIKE IN THE SENATE
Six Foot Vein Carrying Gold, Silver
 and Copper

D. Homer Jennings, manager of the Senate Mining company, has just brought sample of ore from that property that simply dazzled those who were fortunate enough to inspect them. He stated that the samples were taken from depth of but IA feet and that the strike was made few days ago. The ores shown were principally cop per in bornite form and aside from their beauty, they carried heavy values in gold and copper, assays for the lat ter metal running high as 32 per cent across vein of six feet wide, with gold values of $40 per ton and some sil- yer. This grade of ore was struck at the deepest workings on this property at this particular point in the group. While the shaft that gives these re- markable values was being sunk three stringer veins were cut into on the sur face, but as depth was reached they gradually came together and at the bottom, or IA feet from the surface, they converged into one body and form ed a solid Assure, the sulphide character clinging to the foot wall and the mica ceous schist that carriessthe free gold holding on to the hanging wall. This latter grade of ore was not assayed, the free gold being plainly visible to the naked eye and showing that it was immensely rich.
 The vein that supports this ore body lies in phorphyry and contacts with granite, and so far as developed the vein measures six feet across. To the present time about l25 tons of ore has been taken out and as soon as tbs roads are in passable condition shipment will be made. Gazette.

 Now that the roads are drying up R. B. Burmister again has freight outfits in motion which are hauling the mill machinery to his mining properties in the Cherry Creek district. In the mean time development work is being pushed at the mines and there will be plenty ore for steady mill run when the mill machinery is started up. Most of the ore is free milling.

AGAINST PARENTS ADVICE.


The case, lamentable and horrible
of Mrs. Sheppard Smith, the Manches-
ter woman who is now in Jail, charged
with beating her little boy to death. is
another dark incident i'm the history Of
illadvised marriages.. Mrs. Smith was
a Miss Townsend, of New York,
young lady Of education, and mem
Der of highly respectable family. One
OF her brothers is an influential ply
sician, AMI her family stand high So
cially. Her marriage to Shepherd
some half dozen years or more ago,
was bitterly opposed by her parents
and family. She refused to heed their
advice and entreaties. She thought
she knew better than those who loved
her, and knew the world, and took the
matter i'm her own hands, refused adj
vice, and left the parental roof i'm spite
of the tears and prayers Of an aged
mother, and the advice Of brothers of
experience and wisdom. She is now
behind the bars after beating about
from pillar TO post for years, having
lived hard and precarious life, with
only the barcst necessaries O: life-ar-
rested while her husband was away
from home under cloud of suspicion.
The story is as pathetic as it is horri-
BILE in it's details. When will young
women learn that it safest and best to
take advice from their parents in this
most important OF all things?
1t is the testimony Of ministers and
others who have observed, that % per
cent Of marriages in opposition TO the
advice and wishes of parents turn out
lily. Not all Of them, Of course. There
are many happy families where the
marriage was clandestine, and also
many unhappy ones where consent and
approval was heartily given, but these
prove the exception, not the rule
The young woman, who flies in the
face Of her parents advice, and over
rides the prayers, tears and counsel OF
her parents, takes u fearful leap, and
generally lands finally in pit Of misery
or disgrace, or both. And people who
encourage such marriages are destroy
ers OF peace and often of souls. These
"Gretna Greens" such as exists in Il
certain city which could be named
whose chief business consists in the
encouragement of such marriages
should be declared public nuisances,
and abolished by law as detrimental TO
the public good.
In the schools of the land girls
should be taught how unsafe it is to
refuse the advice of those VINO know
better than they do, and boys should
be taught the wholesome and impor-
tant truth that it is awfully unsafe to
marry a girl who defies and lisobeys
parental advice and instruction, and
there would be less work for the divorce
courts, and fewer darkened and broken
homes in the land.
