 It is fascinating work discovering places around which romance and mys- tery in the passing of time, have WOW en and countless expeditions from the early ages upward have been despatch ed to find them, says Pearson's Weekly.
 Fl Dorado, the Golden Land" now believed to be legendary which ex- isted only in the imagination of the na- lives of Mexico and Peru, who sought to get rid of their ayarieious Spanish conquerors by telling them of a land of greater wealth and luxury than their own. has been the grave of scores of brave soldiers of fortune and troops of adyenturers.
 Manoa, the natives said, was the name of the golden city, and it was rpl- ed by king robbed entirely in gold - the annual custom of smearing their priest with oil and rolling him in gold dust, as practiced by a certain Indian tribe. doubtless supplying the inspira- tion to the Mexican natives.
 And so many expeditions penetrated into the heart of South America, down the Amazon or Orinoco, and to the vast lake of Parime, but few came back, and even those were greatly re- duced in numbers, finding only arid de- serts and starvation instead of a land overflowing with milk and honey" Phillip von Hutter and Sir Walter Ra- leigh, in 1896 and 1917, and Antonio San- tos, in 17S0, are some of those who made world famous expeditions to dis cover this land of gold During the last century other bold adventurers, loath to believe that Fl Dorado never existed, have wasted their fortunes and risked their lives in searching for 1t.
 Less than year ago, pr, Carl Pet CTS returned to England from his third expedition to the region of King solomon's mines. To most people these mines have a legendary origin, but Dr. Peters claims to have set his foot therein.

For the Southwest.

Responding to suggestion of sev- -eral commercial clubs, the Business Mems League of St. Louis has called a convention of all the commercial clubs of the southwest, which is to be held in St. Louis on Monday and Tues day, April 16th and l7th, for the pur- pose of discussing plans for the devel- opment of this section of the country and for the effective exploitation of its resources.
 Every commercial organization in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mex ico and Arizona has been invited to send two delegates to the convention. Special rates have been arranged with the railways and with the hotels of St. Louis, and the Business Mems Leauge will entertain the delegates at the close of the convention with a banquet.
 A convention of this kind has never been held, but anyone can readily see the great benefit that will come out of meeting of these representative men from the southwest and from their united plan for the advancement of the commercial interests of the south west territory. Newspapers are cor -dially invited as delegates with formal credentials, and they are requested to make suggestions to the program con- mittee as to subjects which they think may be profitably discussed.-Albu- querque Citizen.

The Detroit Copper Mining com pany's new concentrating plant at Mo renci has been completed by the con- tractors and turned over to the com pany. The building is equipped with modern laboI saving devices for the treatment of ore. It is 24O feet long and contains 80 Frue vanners and 40 Wilfey tables with room capacity for about 15 more. The capacity of the mill will be about 15OO tons every twenty-four hours, and with the ma chinery and improved appliances ore as low as ? per cent. will be worked at profit.-Copper Era.

Biz Doinss at Pioche.

The Salt Lake Herald says: Re ports from Pioche are to the effect that the Nevada-Utah company Is rap idly getting things in shape for the steady production of ore. Not only that, but the Godbe combination is al- so preparing to move and 1t will not be long till their properties at Bulllon' A few miles from Pioche, will be heard from also. E. L. Godbe returned from the latter yesterday, but says 1t Is yet a little early to discuss the affairs of his combination. He reports, however, that the Nevada-Utah management now has the Day mine practically Tn readiness to begin production when the right time arrives. All that re- mains to be done is to place the aerial tramway that will carry the ores down from the mouth of the operating tuE- nel to the company's railway loading station and that will be done in the next few weeks. When this property was reported upon by Professor Geo. w. Maynard as long ago as 1891, he estimated that there was 4,92S,OOO worth of ore in sight above the tunnel level and that the workings below showed more than 1.OOO,O00S in sight. By some these figures were thought to be rather extravagant at the time, but MT. Godbe says that the present con- dition of the property is such as to suggest that Professor Maynard was not far of in his reckoning. Neither was his estimate that all of the prop critics now embraced in the holdings of the Nevada-Utah company had ex- posed ores worth 14,OOO,0OOS gross, any too strong. Professor Maynard then figured that the ore reserves could be mined at a net profit of about 7,OO0.OOOS and Mir. Godbe believes that they can be made to do better then that today-a great deal better when the railroad is built to Caliente, and he declares that the only thing which is holding back construction right now is the company's inability to get rails and ties.
 One of the chief pieces of develop ment work ahead of the company, Mr. -Godbe says, is the sinking of the No. shaft on the Raymond & Ely from the 800 to the 1OOO-foot level. When this is accomplished it will take but short time to crosscut to and open up the famous Raymond & Ely and Meadow Valley lode in practically virgin ground. At the same time a crosscut can be run to the no less famous Black ledge, few hundred feet to the south, and which parallels the other vein for miles. The latter ledge, MT. Godbe states, is destined to prove one of the biggest bonanzas in the country. Its ores are base and in the early days its ores could not be handled as they can today. He declares, also, that the world has only the slightest concep- tion of what the camp and its mines are capable of doing and he makes the unqualified prediction that the district will, during the next few years, boast a larger population than it ever con. tained in its palmy days and he is just as certain that its record for produc. tion will be eclipsed.

The starting up of the 40-stamp mill of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Co.,, which will occur tomorrow or Sunday, signals an era of prosperity for Tombstone and the surrounding district. Testing of the machinery for the past few days has evidenced the fact that the mill is replete in every detail. Everything connected with the plant is of modern structure, doing away to large extent with fully one half the labor formerly required with similar enterprises. When the ore shall have deen dumped into the bins the further handling of the same ceases until the values find their way by automation to the zinc solution, where precipitation prepares them for the speculative world. Some idea of the economic process employed may be gleaned from the fact that but few men are required to the shift to su- perintend every detail of the reduction plant while 200 tons of ore are run through per day of 24 hours. The ceaseless pounding of the stamps will be gladsome music to the ear of the Tombstone public; the noise will serve as an echo from the depths, conveying the happy tidings that riches incalcu- liable remain beneath the water level with which to feed this mill, and should the ore deposits continue to ex- pand and tax the cravings of the plant additional stamps will be added, a wise provision having been made for such an emergency that the manage ment believes it will be called upon to welcome at no distant day.-Prospector.

The territorial treasurer has re- deemed 1O,OOOs worth of asylum bonds, says an exchange, thus clearing up the last of a debt of 1O0,OOOS which was contracted some years ago for asylum purposes. The bonds were not due for period of six months, but the money was available and by redeeming the bonds now several hundred dollars in interest has been saved.

Silver City, New Mexico, is enjoying a great activity: not a boom, just a steady, healthy growth, as a result of the operations and improvements that are contemplated. The tramway that is being built by the Comache Mining and Milling company between Silver City and Pinos Altos is nearly com pleted, and when finished will afford an outlet for the low grade ores now being mined at the Pinos Altos mines, and which heretofore did not pay for the working, owing to the fact that to transport the ore to shelter was worth more than the results justified. This same company is erecting 25O- ton copper stack at Silver City that will be completed in about thirty days, for the smelting of copper ores. The company is also building a branch tramway to the Burro Mountain dis trict from Silver City. The Burro Mountain Copper company is mining and concentrating about POO tons of copper per day, which it is now ship ping to Fl Paso smelters, awaiting the time when the Silver City shelter will be becompleted.-Albuquerque Citizen. A report comes to us from Dudley vile to the effect that the diamond drill now in operation in the lower basin of the Deer Creek coal fields, this county, under the management of Geo. B. Chittenden, has passed through vein of good coal five feet in thick ness. If true, the importance of the strike can hardly be over estimated as tests have demonstrated that the Deer Creek coal makes splendid coke. MT. Chittenden, who is large stockholder in and general manager of the Saddle Mountain Mining company, acquired title to a large portion of the Deer Creek coal lands some time since and has been prospecting it with a dia- mond drill for year past. The ground he is prospecting, and in which the re- ported strike was made, lies within a few miles of the Christmas smelter.- Florence Blade.
