Grace Knives.

There is a curious class Of knives of
the sixteenth century the blades of
which have engraved on one side the
musical notes to the benediction of the
table or grace before meat and on the
other the grace after meat. These
knives usually went In sets of four,
representing four part harmony Of
bass, tenor. alto and treble. They were
kept In an upright case of stamped
leather and were placed before the
singers according to the adaptation of
each one to his particular part. As
may be supposed, the inscription was
usually In Latin. The following speci-
men is taken from actual knives Of the
period: PRO tuis benefciis Deus,
gratias agimus tibi' Cor thy good gifts,
o God, we thank thee).

Tapioca and Pearl Tapioca.

Tapioca is manufactured from the
plant called in Brazil manioc, In Peru
yucca and In the West Indies cassava.
When the true starch is separated
from the root it is placed on hot plates
and while it is heating is stirred with
an iron rod. The starch grains burst,
and the whole agglomerates into small,
irregular masses. Pearl tapioca is not
product of the plant at all, but Of
potato starch.

An exchange says:-"A man who was too economical to subscribe for his home paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neigh bor. In his hatse the boy ran over a four dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and, fail ing to notice a barbed wire fence, breaking it down, cutting handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruin ing a five dollar pair of pants. The COW took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfeld and killed heaself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran and upset a four gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. In her hurry she dropped twenty-five dol lar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor,
 running a twenty dollar carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven set ting hens, and the calves got out and chewed the tails off four fine shirts"

Valuable Mexican Concessions Granted
 the Southern Pacific.

The official publication of the con- cession granted by the Mexican gov erpment to the Southern Pacific for the line from Guaymas to Guanjuato reveals several details that are not now generally known.
 In connection with the subvention of S12, 300 per kilometer, it is stated that the total amount shall not ex- ceed 15,O00,O ,OO0, or sufficient to cover 1,200 kilometers. The line will be something over 1,200 kilometers in length. One-third of the subvention will be paid in government bonds, and the remainder in cash, the pay ments to be distributed over a period of ten years.
 During period of fifteen years the government agrees not to allow the construction of parallel track within a zone extending B kilometers on either side of the Southern Pa cific line
 For ten years the Southern Pacific will be permitted to import free of duty not only all materials for con- struction, but in addition all machin- cry for shops, tools for employees and lubricating oils for engines, cars and machinery.
 With a view to encourage the ex- portation of Mexican products, the government provides that all pro- ducts destined for export shall be transported at a reduction of 50 per cent. when the shipping distance is 250 kilometers or over.

THE SUPERIOR DISTRICT.
The Big Mine Not the Only One That
 Promises We'll.

There is steadily increasing ac- tivity in the Superior district and everything indicates that several more great mines will be developed there soon, says the Florence Blade. We have always believed and con tended that the famous old Silver King mine was not alone in that re- zion and that intelligent prospectlng and development would eventually demonstrate the truth of our con tention. The day is not far distant when we shall see hive of industry in operation all the way through from Mineral Hill via Superior to Globe. A branch railroad from here to Superior would hasten the coming of this desired condition.
 Gene Woodbury, who came to Ari- zona with his uncle, Dick Gird, in 1880, was a visitor in Florence this week. Gene is an experienced miner and prospector and has taken a con- tract to run a 1OO-foot tunnel on the old Eureka mine, situated near Su- perior. This is the property taken over recently by MT. Gibson, of Globe, under working bond. It had been developed to a considerable ex- tent and some good ore bodies have been uncovered in the workings The contained values are copper, gold and silver.
 Messrs. Brown, Smith and Cato are at work on group of mining claims they recently located near the head of Box canyon. The group consists of eight claims and according to rumor, the group has been bonded tc Mi: Gibson, of Globe, for S3O,OOO, the bond callingg346er 5000 down and the balance in six and twelve months.
 Jere Snyder, foruherly manager o1 the Turning Point, mines and mill ir the Casa Grande\ district, but now a resident of Bishee, was a visitor al the Blad@c ~Sanctum last week. He rwas accompanied by E. F. Meyers who has been one of the foremen al the Bisbee mines for seven year: past. They went up to Box canyor last week to examine the Sandbere mining property, and if it meet: their expectations will take it up or | a deVelopment bond.

REX COBRA TO START.
Another Mining Company With Property in the Lone Star District to Re-
 new Operations.

The Rex Cobra Mining company, which was organized a number of years ago in Muskegan, Michigan, by w. D. French, and which operated mines in the Lone Star district under his direction for couple of years, are making preparations to renew operations at the mines.
 Before closing down a great deal of work had been done, a shaft hay ing been sunk to a depth of 150 feet, with every indication of striking good ore, but the stockholders wanted pay dirt from the grass roots and as no dividends had been paid and shaft was down 15O feet, they con- cluded they were throwing their money away and refused to put up any more, therefore work stopped about two years ago and nothing has been done with the property since except to keep up the assessment work.
 Since that time the stockholders have become convinced that they have some valuable property and that they can develop paying mines by intelligent mining and that in or der to do this money must be spent. This they have determined to do. On November 17th stockholders meet ing was held in Muskegan, Michigan, and it was there determined to raise more money and renew work at the mines immediately.
 The Rex Cobra mines are as good as any property in the Lone Star dis trict, and will prove to be such if the proper development is done. The property lies to the northwest and adjoining the San Juan property Guardian.

An Arizona Phenomenon.

What is undoubtedly one of the most unique mining undertakings ln the country is now under way Ill northern Arizona, with promise ot being successful. The Standard Iron companv of New York is sinking shaft six miles south of Diablo station. on the Santa Fe railroad, close to Diablo canyon, for the pur- nose of recoving and smelting gigantic meteor which struck the earth in that section many years ago, probably in the prehistoric period.
 They know the location of the meteor because it knocked a hole in the earth half a mile by three-quar- ters wide and 600 feet deep, and its fragments are scattered all oyer the country. The fragments have been analyZed and are found to be almost pure iron, although running high in lead, silver and gold. Many pieces as large as box car have been found and the returns at the shelter have been high.
 The Standard Iron company began working to locate the meteor about a year ago, and a shaft from the bot tom of the great hole which has been dug into the surface of the earth has already been sunk to depth of 400 feet, making a total of 1000 feet the company has gone into the earth.
 From the pieces of the meteor found on the surface prospectors have realized goodly sum in the days gone by. At one time, accord ing to w. H. Clark, responsible citizen of Holbrook, the Indians made a good living bringing these fragments in to the traders of his town, who paid them S1 pound for every bit they brought, even at thi: price, and in the days when there were no railroads shipping it tC smelters on burros and making money out of the transaction.
