The average of a 1 big streak is said to be $75. but ore
 running several hundred dollars can be 1 assorted from the vein.
 Stockton Hill is on the boom. there being more men at work in that camp now than in many years. The De la Fountatne mine is now being worked by good force of men, while at the
 mill work is progressing rapidly At the Star Spangled Banner mine the
 Arizona Mexican M. and $. company is
 working a force of men taking out rich lead ore. The mill is completed and will soon be put in commission. It is understood that there will be consolidation of several of the large | reduction plant will be installed to ! handle the ores. The mines composing
 the consolidation are all good bearing properties and lie close in, making it possible to work them through a big
 shaft.
 w. H. Taggart returned from Los Angeles last Wednesday morning It is understood that while in Los Ange- les he made a deal on the C. O. D.
 mine and that purchasers will soon be on the ground to look the property over. The C. O. D. mine is one of the best properties in Wallapai district and when worked on scale commensurate with the size and richness of it's ore bodies it will be one of the largest pro- ducers in the territory.
 s. A. Taylor is working four men on his mine east of Mineral Park. The ore body is said to be one of the Iarg-
 est and richest in the county, fourteen feet running better than S6 gold and
 s silver to the ton. The last carload shipment from the property netted
 more than s2,000. The depth obtained in the mine is over 100 feet and sink ing will soon be again resumed. A carload or more of ore is on the dump awaiting shipment to the smeIter. This ore is reputed richer than the last shipment.
 A. M. Standish came down from Stockton Hill yesterday and will re-
 main here several days. It will be re-
 membered that MT Standish had
 narrow escape from death in the shaft of the Banner mines, at Stockton HiIl
 one day last week, having fallen with the bucket a distance of 70 feet He
 was badly skinned up, but no serious
 injury was sustained. Mir Jones, who
 was injured by being struck by the
 falling bucket, has gone to Los An

THE MoWRY MINE.
Reorganization of the Company and
 Proposed New Enterprises.

A New York report states that the Santa Cruz Mines and Shelter com pany has taken over the interests of the MOwry Mines company and the Alto Copper company. From what can be learned, the new company is com posed of practically the same people that were in the other companies.
 It is given out that among the plans of the new company is one for the con- struction of a 750 ton shelter and re- duction works at Calabasas on the Santa Cruz and the building of about fifty miles of railroad
 It is stated that the railroad which will be built to Alto will be continued twenty miles further into the orc Blanco district.
 At Mowry a 100 ton smelter is in operation and a concentrating plant is also being operated there. At Alto 1000 feet of tunnel work has been done on the 300 foot level.

IN AeUA FRiA DISTRICT.
A Rich Strike Made or the Baumann
 Company's Property.

Particulars of what appears to be the most important mineral strike in the Agua Fria district made in recent years came to light when it was learn ed from an authoritative source that a large body of shipping ore had been uncovered in the Swiss Girl claim of the Baumann Copper company's group says the Journal-Miner
 The body of ore was encountered about a wek ago. when a crosscut was started from the 96O foot level of the deep shaft after tll second round of machine drill holes were blasted, but the find has been kept a profound secret by the management until yes terday
 The crOsscut has already been driv- en distance of 20 feet without encOun- tering a wall through the solid body of iron sulphide ore, which has been found to carry gold, silver and copper values high enough to treat the whole mass at a profit in the plant of the Arizona Smelling company at Hum bOldt, where it is proposed to ship the product.
 A body of ore almost similar in char acter to this was found in the 500 foot level, but the values at this depth were found to be not nearly as large a that of the new find. Work will be con- tinued in the lower crosscut until the walls are struck, when the work of opening it by a series of drifts and crosscuts will be at once commenced, while the work of continuing the shaft to greater depths will be continued and the ore body explored from the deeper levels.
 Encouraged by the extent and i'm portance of the discovery. the company has now under consideration the con- struction of a narrow gauge railroad from the Swiss Girl shaft to the Hum bOldt smelter for the transportation of the ores for treatment to that plant as well as the preparation of the camp for operations in an extensive way.

AT OLD FORT BOWIE.
A Rich Gold Strike Made by Hooker
 Brothers and Ed Drew.

While many rich strikes of gold have been made in the Dos Cabozas range and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on the west side of the range, it has remained for Ed Drew to make the richest strike that has ever been made in the district, says the Graham Go. Guardian
 Ever since the first of the year, Hooker brothers and MT. Drew have been working some claims in Apache Pass. on this side of the range and have kept a small stamp mill running all the time on a fairly good rate of ore. For some time past MT. Drew has been crippled. one day last week while Waiting for a horse to be brought to him on which to ride he sat down on a ledge of rocks. While sitting there he noticed a piece of gold sticking to the quartz. He put some men to work and followed the ledge in about twenty feet which averaged eighteen inches in width
 In four days he had taken out tons of ore that averaged $1.OOO per ton in free gold. The quartz occurs in large boulders, and between them is found a coarse gravel, and this gravel is very rich in gold and is easily banned.
 This new discovery has caused con- siderable excitement. as it is the rich est ever made in the range Several good claims are being worked and the ore successfully treated It is rumored that the Phelps-Dodge people will soon become interested in group of claims on the west side of the mountain, prin- cipally, it is said for the great deposits of iron that exists there.

The Arizona Mexican M. and $. com pany is working a force of men at the Champion mine and getting rich lead ore. The company is to sink on this property and open it up below the iron zone The mine was a big producer in the early days of the camp.
 Barney Perkins is preparing for an extended prospecting trip into the country south of Bill Williams Fork. ThGt section of country is reputed to be rich in gold and copper and pros pectors from all parts of the mining world will be in there this coming fall and winter in search of the base and precious metals.

GRAND CANYON SECTION.

F. G. Dubois and the Williams News editor made trip out to Bass station on the Canyon road to look over the new copper strike recently made by Sanford Rowe. A visit to the work
 ings of MT. Rowe revealed the fact that he has a property which seems to be a good one. On one claim he is having work done on two sides of a small hill and the ore body seems to be pitching into the hill at an angle that looks promising. MT. Rowe feels satisfied and when the two cuts, or tunnels, as they will eventually be- come, meet, he will have bonanza.

THE CORONA STRIKE.

Assay returns from samples of the rich strike recently made by Ambrose Stewart on the properties of the Co., roma Consolidated Gold and Copper company in the Turkey creek district, and published in yesterdays Journal Miner, indicate the new find to be even richer than at first reported, and show ing remarkable values.
 Samples of the richest rock found showed values of $2,OSS.9S to the ton, while the paystreak assay gave returns of S1,4OS.10. The average value of the entire vein was found to be $75 to the ton, while three assays from samples of the croppings and ledge matter on the surface showed values of S5.9S, $13.92 and $4.3S to the ton.

At present he has only three men em- ployed, but is making arrangements to establish a permanent camp and in- crease his working force. He has had a number of assays made and they show such values that he says it looks better to him than his farm back in Oklahoma, and will give his whole at tention to developing the claims. A number of claims have been located in the immediate neighborhood. and it is possible that there will be quite a re- vivaI out that way in the near future

The Copper Greek and Santa Maria
 Country Coming 70 the Front.

J. K. Miller. formerly the iceman at Congress Junction and Congress was down from the Santa Maria section this week shaking hands and eXchang
 ing stories about the great mining resources of this big mineral section. He and his associates have been oper- ating d mine in the Santa Maria sec ton. He is of the opinion that the Santa Maria and Copper creek sec tions are going to experience a great awakening in the near future. Capi- talists of New York have recently bonded a number of properties in that section and will operate a number of lively camps. MT. Miller, accompanied by Guadalupe Trujillo and Byron Smith made a trip to Rich Hill on Thursday and brought back a few small sized nuggets.-News-H Herald.

A IN ericnn Ihenlislm.

1t has frequently struck me in lis
tening to impressions received in Am
erica by foreign travellers that the
American in his deepest nature is a
realist who strives for power ard
wealth and outer comfort; that the OBJ
ject of his life is to pile up the mighty
dollar. People who speak thus seem
to me blind to everything which lies
below the surface. They seem to have
studied the mills and factories of the
industrial centers and to have neglected
to read or understand the character of
the American man or woman.
Since my first arrival in America l
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me cannot have sounded the depths of
the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emer-
son or studied the life and read the
speeches of Abraham Lincoln and con-
sidered their far-reaching effect on the
American people.
In Lincolns great character nothing
can be more striking than the way in
which he combined reality and the loft
lest ideal with a thoroughly practical
to achieve that ideal by prac-
teal methods.-Baron Speck Won Stern

RuffRr rs Il Ennd.

Butter is hydro carbon, and all
excuses of it are stored up as fat in
the body. 1t gives energy and power
to work to those who eat heartily of
it. For any one afflicted with consump
ton butter cookery, if plenty of fat can
be digested, is one of the best ways of
curing the disease should it be in its
early stages or of keeping it at bay
if advanced. 1t is not economy to
spare the butter at table even to the
healthy people. Butter is not a simple
fat composed merely of one sort. 1t is
a mixture of no less than seven differ.
ent sorts of fats, and no more complex
oil can be taken than this. For dys-
peptic and liverish people good bread
and butter, along with fruit, should in
variably take the place of pie, pastry
and biscuits. Pastry for such people
is only another name for poison, and
biscuits are as often as not baked with

The SiIO Pays.

The value of a silo is hardly known
in some of our dairy districts. Many
farmers in the dairy business, when
one speaks to them about a silo, will
say it is easy enough to talk silo on
paper, but it is not profitable to build
one.
l will say that the economy in feed
ing a COW is not in saving feed. The
more you can get her to eat and digest
the more she will make for her keeper.
If you feed little you lose the value
of that, but if you feed generously she
makes you a profit.
The first thing is to procure feed and
a place to keep it. In having a silo
your feed is cut and put in at time
when it is in the best conditiOn.-Kim-
balls Dairy Farmer.

At this time of year we find many
people drying their fruits as a means
of preserving them. Two methods are
actively employed, sun drying and
evaporating. The former method is
most universally used, even by people
who have evaporating machines, be-
cause of the peculiar flavor some
fruits obtain by drying in the sun, and
also because Ofttimes the fruit must
be attended to faster than the evapora-
tors can take it. The great annoyance
caused by sudden showers make sun
drying undesirable in many instances.
When a shower comes up the fruit
must be protected from the rain, or
it is likely to sour or otherwise injure.
The taking of fruit into the house or
shed is not always very easily done,
neither is it always possible to cover
the scaffold where they are drying sat
isfactorily. An easy method Of tax
ing care Of them is TO construct a
square about 3x4 feet in size. which
is made by taking two pieces about g
inches wide to use for sides, flooring
these with light material and putting
an inch strip to serve as end pieces.
The end pieces serve to hold the fruit
on the square while it is being moved
about. When a shower is approaching
these squares can be stacked under a
roof Of any kind, placing them on one
another alternately lengthwise and
crosswise This allows the air to
pass through, and they can stay in the
shade for days without injUriDg.-A.

Trolling for TarpOn.

It is not easy to hook tarpOn while
trolling, for his mouth is very hard,
says Julian A. Dimock, in Country
Life in America, and much skill may
doubtless here be shown. In the play
ing of the fish the work is about the
same as in still fishing, save that more
care must De used, as the hook is prob
ably not firmly imbedded An old fish
erman told me that he likes to be sure
of his fish, and so preferred still fish
ing, but to my mind it is one of the
objections to that method Another
and stronger objection is the disturb
ance to my feelings in thinking that I
am pulling against fish's 'in'ards." If
the line does break, the chance of the
victims being able to free himself from
the hook is prOblematical, while in troll
ing it is the work of minute after the
strain is off the line until a sore mouth
is the only symptom remaining.

Speaker Cannon says the Democrat
&c campaign textbook for 1906 has
lied about him. Of course it has.
Ii has lied about the president and
nearly every other Republican leader
whom it has mentioned. This is what
Roosevelt, Cannon and the rest of the
republican chieftains ought to have
expected. If the Democratic textbook
told the truth it would send hundreds
OF thousands of Democratic voters over
to the Republican party. This was no
part Of the plan of the Democratic
campaign man. gers. The men who
compiled the Democratic textbook
were paid for misrepresenting Repub-
Hcan history and telling falsehoods
about the Republican party's present
policy and about the record and aims
OF its leaders. 4 glance over the book
VIII show that these hired prevaricat-
ors earned their money.
In one place the textbook saws that
all the panics which the county has
had have been caused by Republican
legislation. The casual reader of the
book might think that the word Re-
publican in that direction was mis-
print for Democratic, but the perusal
OF few lines will show that the au-
thor cannot escape on the ground of
oversight. The falsehood was inten-
tional. The panics of 1918, 1887 and
1857 were the only panics which took
place before the rebellion. During each
of them the Democratic party was in
power. For the panics of 1887 and

PAUL JONES WAS ANGRY.


Admiral Challenged n British officer
to IL Duel.
Near Norfolk, Va, within sight of
SeweIls Point, where will be held the
jamestown tercentennial exposition
commemorating the birth of the nation
at jamestown in 1907, is Craney Isl
and, famous as the scene of a severe
British repulse in the war of 1912, and
still earlier as Il favorite dueling
ground of Virginia gentlemen, says the
Washington Star. John Paul Jones,
Americas greatest sea fighter, on sew
eral occasions proposed to fight out diff
ferences of opinion on the island. For
some reason, however, none of his chal-
lenges was accepted.
The last occasion upon which Ad-
miral Jones invited any enc to meet
him on Craney Island according to the
provisions of the knightly code was in
connection with his challenge of Lieu
tenant Parker of the royal navy in
1874.
On his way back from short trip
to his plantation on the bank of the
Rappahannock Jones had stopped for
a few days in Norfolk. He was invited
officers of the royal navy in attendance.
Among them was Lieutenant Parker, a
relative of Admiral Sir Peter Parker,
who afterward attacked Fort Moultrie,
off Charleston.
Between the dances the gentlemen
discussed the probabilities of rupture
with England on account Of the provis-
ions of the stamp act. In the course
of the discussion Lieutenant Parker
made Il disparaging remark concerning
the women of Virginia. Jones promptly
knocked him down. Parker was dragged
away by his friends. Jones retired 10
Il tavern and through his friend Gran
vile Hurst sent word to Parker that he
would gladly meet him with pistols at
ten PAGES on Craney Island at the lieu
tenants convenience.
No answer to his communication was
received and Jones, though eager to
uSuI, udu 10 De SdIlSueu WITH the pun
ishment he had already administered to
Parker. 1t is said the British officers
of the little squadron to which Parker
was attached refused to Il man to act
as his second in the affair, declaring
that he had behaved disgracefulIy and
deserved the treatment he had received
at the hands of Jones. Parker soon
afterwards left Norfolk.
The ladies of Virginia made a hero
of Jones for the prompt manner in
which he had taken up the lieutenant's
remark. This was the last occasion
Jones ever figured in any way in this
country as a duelist. The next year
he was busy making preparations to
defend the honor of his adopted coun-
try with gunpowder and cannon ball.
In pursuing this object Jones shortly
after the Parker incident visited the
French trigate La Terpsichore in Nor
folk harbor and was furnished by
Prince Philip Joseph. Duke of Charities,
with plans of the frigate. From these
plans was built the ship Alliance, which
was with him in his battle with the
Scraps.
