THE TUCSON MOUNTAINS.
More Mining Activity in That District
 Than Ever Before.

There is more mining activity and life in the Tucson mountains today than ever before since the Spaniards ran their arrastras and Mexican smell ters at the old camp of Don Refugio Pacheco and James Lee, and along the Santa Cruz river, says the Star. Don Emiliano Lopez and Tomas Quijada and Gerardo Sanchez, the pioneer sil- yer miners of the Amole district, took out millions of ounces of silver in those balmy days, sixty years ago.
 There are at present five permanent mining camps in active operation. The Gould Mining company, working day and night shifts; the main work ing shaft is nearly 300 feet in depth and plenty of ore from top to bottom.
 The Martin Ware mines are being actively operated by a good force of miners and large bodies of high grade copper ores have been discovered. Some of the ores give good values in gold and silver.
 The New State Mining company has repaired its road from the city to their mines, and it is in good condition, ac- tive work is being pushed with energy and vigor and before long the company will have large quantities of good cop per and gold ores on the dumps.
 Hon. Gust A. Hoff is steadily devel- oping his fine group of copper mines, and large bodies of copper ores have been exposed. The showing is excel lent for a large producer.
 Col. Frank J. Sibley has a force of men developing his mines on the north west side of the mountains and last month struck a large body of high grade ore.
 The Arizona Copper Mining company is drifting to crosscut the main ledge from the 100-foot level and a tunnel will be started along the course of the ore body toward the highest point in the mountain which is 1000 feet higher than the working shaft, and ore clear up to the top. Ali the above mines are fifteen miles from Tucson

FORE HISTORIC CURIOS
A Book BPS Years Old and a Coat of
 Louis XVI.

The publication yesterday morning of the description of the curios that are to be exhibited at the fair by Mrs. Rosa Schmidt, brought forth still fur ther information of the same sort. and which is equally as interesting. Mrs. Schmidt has quite a number of his toric things besides those mentioned. some of which will probably be exhib- tied. One of them is an old book which will do to enter the contest with MT. Van Doren's Bible, in point of his toric interest.
 This old volume is a medical work, printed in Latin and bound in parch- ment, ii the yecr 1880. The book is therefore 325 years old. The story of the book is equally as interesting as the story or the snuff box of Louis XVI The story is not known in de- tail but the following facts are gleaned from the interpretation of an inscription on the f,y leaf which is so faded that but a small part of it can be deciphered. But sufficient of the record has been read to show that the volume at one time belonged to cer- tain Prince Robert of England, who was a descendant of William the Con- queror. Prince Robert while engaged in warfare in Palestine was very badly wounded in the arm. Returning to Britain after his battles he was for a long time treated for his wounded arm. While under treatment he gave the

THE DAVIS MINE.
Progress of Operations at This Prop
 erty by the New Management

Up to the present time a very satis- factory condition prevails in the de- velOpment work and other matters in trOduced by the Davis Mines company operating on Slate creek, says the Journal Miner The enterprise is less than two months old, but in that brief
 time the preliminary work the sur face has reached 9 stage of comple
 tion and the practical efforts of the company are now under headway in
 mine work. The results are more than gratifying, all around. and especially
 is this so in the development of the group, as it has progressed to the pres ent time.
 Tn this line a tunnel Is being run to go a distance of 1000 feet, which has reached a point about 44O feet in. On the surface or nearly 1000 feet from the mouth of the tunnel. shaft is be- ing sunk to intersect the tunnel when it reaches the above point, and esti- mates give the depth of this shaft at about 200 feet. It is down over forty feet Both the tunnel and the shaft are situated on the vein, and as each is being driven a good grade of ore is produced.
 When the tunnel reaches the shaft at the point of intersection the purpose is to continue the driving of this work so as to practically explore the vein along its entire length, and when this is done the greatest depth reached is estimated at over LAO feet under ground. The work now under head way is but a proposition of making connection for air, but as it is being done the mine work shown is more en- couraging than anticipated. The ledge matter cut into is from forty to 100 feet across and in this a body of sul- phides carrying iron and copper py- rites from one to four feet across is being developed. It is a good grade of ore and the management feels very much encouraged that at this point such a showing is being made.
 In surface improvements made on the property and ready for use. is a gasoline hoist, boarding house, an office building, bunk house, blacksmith shop hoist house, a gallows frame for the hoist, in all accommodations for a force of forty people or more. In order that mine supplies may be conveniently be cared for, the company has construct ed a new wagon road from the main line near Senator This was over one mile in length and it was a heavy piece of work.

it was thrown into litigation and was closed down pending a settlement which resulted in the company being declared bankrupt Blanchard sought to have this decision set aside and the case was decided against him by Judge Sloan few days ago. Concerning the decision and the present status of the case the Prescott Herald says:
 ''The decision handed down by Judge Sloan denies this application and sus- tains the previous act which declared the corporation bankrupt. The prop erty was sold at trustees sale and was purchased by Rice R. Miner, a son-in- law of J. K. Burhan, for the sum of $75,000. The money paid off the in- debtedness of the property and left it free from debt. The creditors either received their money or were satisfied otherwise.
 Now, with the appeal to the supreme court of the territory pending, Mr. Miner and his colleagues are in a pe- culiar position. If the decision of Judge Sloan should by hook or crook be reversed, the property would revert to Ben Blanchard and associates and would be free from debt. MT Miner and associates would play a big losing.
 Ben Blanchard and other stockhold- CTS of the corporation are determined to carry the issue to the supreme court of the United States if necessary. They believe that they are right in the prem ises and are going to see it through to the last ditch"

Is Disease a Crime ?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted. in substance. that all disease should be regarded as criminal Certain 1t is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Natures laws But to say that all sickness should he regarded as criminal must appeal 10 every reasonable individual as radically wrong.

book in question to @ medical society of that time. In the course of time it passed from the possession Of the medical society. presumably through others, to that of Dr. Huffland of the
 University of Berlin. Dr. Huffland was the preceptor of Professor Lud- wig, who was the father of Mrs. Schmidt. They we're on very friendly
 terms, as Q result of which Dr. Huff land gave the volume to his student friend and from him 1t came event. ually into tEe possession of ais daugh- ter, Mrs. Schmidt.
 Mrs. Schmidt when coming to America brought quite a stock of CuriOs with her. not all of which have yet been mentioned. One other in her
 possession is of more than passing in terest though it is not one of her col lection made in the old country, but was secured from her son. It is a coat made for, though probably never worn by, King Louis XVI of France. The coat was being made by the kings tailor when there arose governmental disturbances that made it very timely for the friends of the king to depart, taking such things with them as they desired to keep. The tailor fled witl the kings coat It eventually came into the possession of an English actor who sold it to another actor and eventually it was brought to America, Mrs. Schmidt has a son who is an actor and who came in contact with the actor wEO owned the coat, and bought it for ais own wardrobe.

It is rumored that the so-called Kearns syndicate, represented by Major Burnham, who recently went to look at the property, has secured an option or working bond on the Carrigan strike in the Clara mining district. Accord ing to the story the bond runs until some time next spring and that in the meantime a large force of men. will be employed in development of the claims and careful prospecting of the vicinity of the rich strike. It is also reported that every available miner is being employed to hasten the development work,

BLANCHARD A WORKER.

Whatever else may be said of Ben Blanchard, he is a tireless worker for the development of Arizona mines. He is now operating both in the vicinity of the mining town that bears his name in eastern Yavapai, and in the Bill Williams Fork country. He has under development at this time eighteen diff ferent shafts in each section, or a total of thirty-siX shafts

also. The value per ton of the speci- mems shown is fully $2,000. The party said that he did not care to have any newspaper notoriety just now on the property, but that he would give us the particulars in a couple of days.
 "The ore comes from a depth of forty feet in a mine within six miles of town. The rich streak is on the hang ing wall There is a streak of high grade of three feet in width also in the shaft. This ore looks like it would run as good as $1O0 per ton and per- haps is richer than that even. The silver is showing in blotches through the wide streak"

GOLD BRICK FACTORIES.
A Few YaVapai Bullion Plants That
 Are Attracting Attention.

The ten-stamp mill of the Pine Mountain Mining company on Lynx creek began operations only a few days ago. It Is an old property twelve miles from Prescott but 1t has been closed down for a long time. The machinery was recently put in order again and the mine cleaned out and develop ment work resumed.
 The present management assumed control of this property less than six months ago, and under the superin- tendency of Joseph Carmichael, the re- habilitating of the ground has been prosecuted so rapidly and successfully in that short time as to create the well founded belief that from this time henceforth it consistently may be said that 1t will be one of the permanent and profitable producers of that min eral field. A $4OO gold bar was the first product of the mill.
 Report comes from Cherry creek dis trict that Messrs. Baker and others, who are working some claims near the Pfau ground, have made a rich strike; that fifteen tons of their ore worked at the Monarch mill plated over $60 a ton gold; and that they have over 100 tons of this same class of ore in sight, all of which shows that there is some very rich ore in the Cherry creek section.
 w. N. Thornton is in from the Mon arch mill. just east of the Cherry creek district, with a $500 gold brick, the out put of recent run at that mill, says the Courier. The men have merely been doing the assessment work on variouws claims and having found good various claims working and being near the Monarch mill had the ore treated with the cbove results.
 Vim. Theising was in Prescott re- -ently and deposited a bar of bullion that weighed S7OO at the Prescott Ma tiOnal bank. This bar was taken from the plates at the Theising mill after running ten days on some of the his n grade II eising ore. Other bars will follow right along. MT. Theising IS greatly leased with the manner Tn whiCt re is taking out the yellow metal. The mill is running every day.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.

Mexico City Dec. 23.-The president of the Republic has signed a decree providing against the peril of contrac- tion of the currency due to the high CT market price of silver and the con- seqUent eXportation of silver pesos, which may go above a legal parity.
 The preamble to the decree states that the portion of silver pesos shipped abroad have been replaced by gold money imported from New York and London, but as gold cannot be imme- ditely recoined and placed in circula- ton, the president authorizes the ex- change and currency commissioner to issue gold certificates in exchange for gold bars or gold foreign money. These gold certificates will be backed by gold coin or bars.

ALL IN READINESS
 FOR TERRITORIAL FAIR

Another half dozen fine race horses
 arrived here yesterday and are now ! installed in good quarters at the fair grounds, ready to do wonderful things 3neXt week. The most notable of the new horses is ZolOck whose special | purpose in coming here is to take a , fall out of Hazel Patch the Christian
 Science horse who got the best of their meeting in California. Trainer De
 laney is with Zolock and promises to attract little attention with his speed before another week rolls round. Briny K is the name of another of the new corners. Eriny is owned by MT. Durf- fee of Los Angeles and is a trotter 1 with a record of 2:11 IA. Three more record making trotters who arrived yesterday are Zombraetta, Lumetta and Helen Dare. Baron Lace is the name of a swift-moving pacer who
 also came in with yesterdays contin- gent.
 Quite a number of head of live stock entered for exhibition only, arrived at the grounds yesterday, though much of it will not be brought there until Monday morning.
 In the mining and general exhibition halls things were more than lively yes terday, they were rushing. The only trouble experienced so far has been the matter of space. Twice as much room could no doubt have heen utilized were it available. Another year there will probably be more buildings. In the mining building Ernest Ford and his assistants were engaged at a lively pace and sort of a preliminary clean up or clean out of the debris was made last evening. It will take a lot of work today in both buildings to get everything ready for tOmorTow's open ing.
 Along the Hlssayamp a multitude of tents and booths for one purpose or another are going up and the carnival company is getting it's shows in posi- tion.
 The race track was in good condi-
 ion yesterday and was utilized by somebody nearly all the time in the working out of the fast horses.
 Though there is yet a deal of s:raigh- tening around to do and smoothing out of the wrinkles, it is a safe announce ment that everything will be in readi- ness by Monday morning MT. I. T. Stoddard who has had supervision of most of the construction work for the ' but the minor details, such as a hinge or a paddock here and there and after infinite trouble and some worry, has got an array of buildings to show for his pains that are a satisfaction not only to him, but to all who have been engaged in their construction. They are all nicely painted and architectur- ally, cost and purpose considered, more could not have been secured for the money. Though more buildings will have to be added in subsequent years, there is no present construction that will prove a nuisance or a loss. The entire fair project has been planned for expansion alone and nothing has been done that will have to be un- done. The weather could not be finer or more promising for next week.

The Fear of Grip Makes People
 NerYous.

There is no remedy in the world that meets the conditions produced by the grip better than Peruna.
 Peruna strengthens as it renovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it expurgates.
 Peruna is not purgative, or cathartic or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vege- table or mineral poison.
 Breaches the source of all diseases of the mucous membranes by it's action on the vaso-motor system of nerves.

After-Efects of the Grip.

Every person who has had Ia grippe during the last year should take course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do so.
 The grip has produced catarrhal in- Hammation of the whole mucous mem brane, and good health is impossible until these arc restored to . normal con dition. This Peruna will do.
 A great many remedies have been suggested for this condition from time to time, but Peruna is the only remedy that has any substantial value in these cases.
 It has never failed to give satisfaction
