Mate Caught Fever.

An American schooner returning to
San francisco from long trading
cruise in the South seas dropped into the
harbor. The first mate, an adventurous
chap named Frank Stayman, who had
been sailing out of San Francisco since
his boyhood and was half owner of the
schooner and partner in the trading en-
terprlse. was dangerously sick with the
dengue fever. and the skipper. his
partner. brought him into Mazatlan for
medical attention.
The skipper was Jim Ellis, huge
Californian, who was as much al home
on the back Of a broncho as on the
quarterback Of a ship, and square and
lovable man all through. 1 had known
him well in California
The medical officer Of the MazatIan
port took a look at the first mate and
told the skipper that Stayman was in
q bad way and should be taken to the
Mazatlan Hospital. So TO the Mazatlan
Hospital, an adobe affair then, with
primitive accommodations for patients
used TO civilized medical attention and
nursing, Frank Stayman was taken
from the schooner on the evening of
the vessels arrival in port. Skipper
Ellis stayed ashore to nurse his mate
in the hospital.
But it was no use The mate had
been too long without treatment. He
died on his second day IN the hospital.
a little while before he died he said
to Skipper Ellis. in a lucid interval that
presaged his early passing out;

PAYING PRESIDENTS SALARY.

The President gets his pay every month in the shape of a check, or, more accurately speaking, a warrant for s4,156.67, which is sent by a mes senger to the White House. A memor- andum of the amount due is made out by the auditor of the state department and is sent to the warrant division of the treasury, where it is examined and marked as approved. The secretary of the treasury signs it, the comptroller certifies it as correct, and then MT. Roosevelt receives his money. The smallest warrant ever issued by the treasury department was in favor of a president of the United States. It was for one cent, and was forwarded from Washington to MT. Cleveland at Gray Gables, the sum being due to close the account of salary for the fiscal year.

4 GLOBE ENTERPRISE.
New Corporation Organized to Work Valuable and Historic Properties.

The RadiUm Mines company is the name Of 2 new corporation formed to work some valuable mining ground four miles directly north of Globe. Tn that immediate locality were many of the early day mines that gave the dis trict the name of the Silver Belt. Two valuable groups have been acquired and the intervening ground located, so that the holdings of the company now number sixty claims. Among them is the Emeline mine, one of the proper- ties well known twenty years ago. It ~is estimated there is now on the Eme- line dump and has been for years prob ably 1900 tons of ore. Other claims near by are more or less developed. It is said that among the sixty claims are at least q dozen which are reputed to have produced from $10,000 to $200,- 600 each in the long ago. The direct ors of the company are mostly Globe men who know their property thor oughly and they propose operating on large scale as their capital stock is five million dollars, shares at ten dol lars each, par value. None of the men are wealthy however and are offering the treasury stock, which is eighty per cent of the total, at a very cheap price to begin with. They believe that if they can raise few thousand dollars to start with the property will thereafter be self supporting.

TWIN eUTTEs MINE RAILROAD.

Mayor David $. Rose of Milwaukee and Twin Buttes, donned his working clothes this morning and superintend - ed the beginning of construction of the depot on the Tucson and Twin Buittes railroad.
 The depot will be built at the in tersectiOn of First avenue and Twenty second street. The building will be constructed of wood and will be sixteen by forty eight feet. A warehouse six teen by orty-eight will also be built. In addition an oil tank, water tank and an engine house will also be built.
 Mayor Rose stated that all the grad ing for the railroad had been complet- ed, with the exception of about 10000 feet at the mines, and the company will begin putting in bridges as soon as the material arrives here. It is expected that the railroad will be completed within forty-five days after the con- pany begins to lay track. The track between the Southern Pacific line and the depot will be put in at once.-Citi- zen.

THE INFALLIBLE MINE.
Preparations for the Erection of a
 Fifty Tor Mill.

In the breast of the tunnel on the Infallible mine, Stockton Hill, there is a streak of solid galena nineteen inches in width, that carries big values in gold and silver, says the MOhave Miner. Much of the ore is laced together with silver, making handsome specimens. This drift is now iii about 500 feet and has been in ore fully two hundred feet. In the same drift a winze has been sunk to depth of about 100 feet and rich ore is being taken from it. This ore also shows native silver and some ruby. Hundreds of tons of ore is piled up on the dump awaiting the erection of the mill to make a separa-
 tion of the lead and zinc. The first consignment of machinery for the mill

THE SHANNON COPPER co.
Annual Report for the Year Endn!
 Aurust 31, 1905.

During the year the sales of copper amounted to 11,295,5S6 pounds which at an average of 14.24 cents per pound, realized $1.609,S5 gold, 592 ounces at an average of S20 per ounce, $11, ,S56; silver. 17,127 ounces at 59 cents per ounce S10.105; making a total of $1.- 631,317. Adding the inventory Aug. S1 of S193,933, makes the total receipts $1,S25, ,250. Operating costs amounted to $1,126,24S, leaving net earnings O. $699, ,002, from which there was deduct ed S427, ,S49 for development, taxes, etc, making the net profit for the year $271. .153. The financial condition of the company has been further improved by reducing the bonded debt $60,000, leaving $420, ,000 bonds still outstanding.
 The total production during the year was 11.414,271 pounds of copper bull lion, which compares with 10,7SS,S91 pounds in the previous twelve months; showing an increase of 625,2S0 pounds.
 The salaries of the officers have been reduced and otherwise readjusted, making a saving of 53 per cent on this item alone. There are now 1,S46 share holders.
 The unprecedented rains of the year, commencing in January, caused very great loss of time and product; for twenty days no ore was deliver ed to the mill, the railway being washed out several times.
 A converter is being erected. The continued reduction in the grade of smelling ores is principally due to the fact that the copper bearing red ore bodies, which at one time formed the main ore for iron fiux, have been en- tirely exhausted. They have been re- placed by iron ores from the surface, which average a little over two per cent copper. The output for the year averaged 146.1 tons per day. For an output of 20 to 25 tons of copper daily. a steady supply of 200 tons daily of smelting ore is necessary.
 There was milled during the year 135, ,644 tons of ore; the quality of the ores for concentrating purposes has not improved, as it still contains consider able oXidized iron and copper which causes excessive loss in tailing. The extraction, however, is being improv- ed by screening the ores before crush ing and using the fines in the briquet- ting plant; it is also expected that by the use of magnetic concentration, or picking the ore before crushing, or both, it will be possible to save consid- erable of this oxidized mineral now lost in tailings.-MOrenci Leader.

The company is known to have some of the best ground of the district and the beginning of shipping will mark aIl important step in the progress of the company. The company intends build
 ing q twenty inch tramway from Cliff ton up the Frisco river to the shelter after which it is proposed to ship at least 1900 tons of ore monthly. As the ore runs in the neighborhood of 15 per cent copper this will make quite a not able increase in the output of the dis trict Aside from this view of the question the resumption of work will mean the employment of large num- Der of men ct the mines. There is Q large amount of the stock in the com pany owned locally and the opening up of the property is considered of much consequence to the stockholders

DOUGLAS ARTISAN WE'LL

The artesian well at the Copper Queen smelter is now run down 670 feet and no bedrock has been struck yet. The flow continues at 200 gallons per minute, as it was when struck at a depth of about 450 feet. Hitherto the volcanic formation has been reached by the shelter people at a depth of AIS feet on the upper level, and they expected to reach it on the lower level at 500 feet, but at ITO feet deeper they have not yet touched it. This forma- tion constitutes the bedrock of the Sulphur Springs valley and when it is struck in this well a much larger flow of water is expected. When the present well is finished the machine will be moved to the lime quarry and a well sunk there. The machine is yet boring in sand and has been doing so for 200 feet.-Dispatch.

This mill will be capable of handling about forty tons of ore daily. road is being graded from the mill site to the Alta mine, which was re- gently purchased by the company. The property is owned by the Arizona Mex ican Mining and Smelling company, and is of great value to that company on account of the large percentage of lead carried in the ore.
