THE VICTORIA BONNET

HERE is a correct description of the bonnet
l. made by two Yankee girls in Carl Kings
establishment, New York, for the little VIC
toria late Queen of England.
1t was made of native grass, which grows
in sandy, uncultivated soil and so much
resembles leghorn. The hat was only
twelve and half inches from the back of the
crown to the edge of the brim, and four inches
in diameter at the top of the crown but the
front was rather deep and full. 1t contained
three hundred and twenty yards of braid and
twenty-five braids to the inch. 1t cost three
months of labor, and was sent to England with
out trimming. In making this special spec
linen of American industry after the braid was
finished, four stitches to the inch were taken,
which for the whole hat was nearly forty-seven
thousand stitches.
The first homemade straw bonnet, if still
in existence, must be now about one hundred
and seven years old; for it was made in 1906
by Betsey Metcalf of Providence, Rhode Island
Up to 1903 all straw bonnets had been i'm
ported to America from Europe, and were
consequently high-priced. Straw hats-"leg-
horn hats" as they were cal1ed-were originally
made in Italy, where particular kind of
bearded wheat was cultivated on purpose for
their manufacture. At first they were straw
hats pure and sinple-a skullcap surrounded
by an immense brim.
In the spring or summer of 1903 an excep-
tionally pretty Dunstable straw was displayed
in the window of milliner's shopin Providence
Miss Metcaf looked at it longingly from the
sidewalk. Then she went in and priced it.
signing to herself as the figures were named,
With true New England spirit Miss Betsey
resolved to make bonnet with her own hands.
She waited till harvest-time Then she gath
cred some of the oat-straw, split it with her
thumb-nai and set at work to plat it.
Shortly afterward Miss Betsey appeared in a
new bonnet. Her adnliring friends urged her
to get her process patented; but she declined,
thinking it hardly modest to let her name come
before Congress. Her example was speedily
followed. The braiding of straw became the
fashionable fancy-work of the day.
1t is amusing to read that the new industry,
50 harmless and even so useful, was promptly
assailed by the press and the pulpit. Some
great divine pronounced it downright sin; it
fostered feminine vanity, he declared, and
would encourage envy and all uncharitableness.
Early in the last century learned doctor
wrote an Essay the Manufacture of Straw
Bonnets,' in which nearly all the evils of the
day were laid at the door of this dangerous
innovation. Certain political economists
prophesied a famine as a result of cutting the
straw before the grain was fully ripe.
The entire process was of strictly domestic
nature. The straw was raised and braided and
the bonnets were sewed and shaped by the same
family. Common starch was used for stiffen-
ing, and a common flat-iron for pressing.

MINE CASE DECIDED
 IN GLOBE DISTRICT,
LEsSEES OF LIVE OAK COPPER CO. MAKING HAY WHILE
 THE SUN SHINES.

An important mining case was de- cided in Graham county this week by Judge Nave.
 About six months ago the Live Oak Copper company, through its mana ger, J. c. Irmin, leased a group of mines to Strang & Boone, the compa- ny to get a certain per cent of the ore extracted. Recently immense bodies of ore have been uncovered. and the company apparently decided that it had made a bad bargain, and undertook to terminate the lease. The lessees then offered the company s135, ,OOO for the unexpired six months. This was refused, and on Tuesday the company appeared before Commis- sioner Martion and procured a -IeRs- porary inianelis==.--zgainsf the lessees. enjoining them from extracting any more ore The lessees are now ask ing Judge Nave to dissolve the in junction. Later the case was decid- ed in favor of the lessees.

MINES OF ORC MAyIBO
Company to Have Warehouse in Cananea for Machinery and Supplies,
TO INSTALL CYANIDE
 AND REDUCTION PLANT,

CANANEA, April 2S. The Orc Maximo Mining Company is, with the cooperation of the Southern Pa cifc Railway, making arrangements the accommodation of their increasing receipts of machinery and supplies which are freighted from here to their mines, forty miles to the south, over a very good wagon road. Some 2,500,- GOO pounds of machinery and supplies are expected to accumulate here in a short time, as the development at the Orc Maxine mine has proceeded to a point where the owners have decid- ed to install immediately a reduc- tiop plant to consist of a 50-stamp mill and cyaniding plant, with a com bined capacity of 200 tons of ore per day. Part of the plant has already been shipped and the reduction worKs are expected to be installed and in operation before the middle of July.
 The character of the plant was de- termined by exhaustive experiments with the ores, made by w. L. Holmes of the City of Mexico, one of the  worlds most reputable metalurgical engineers. The plant will be most complete and effective for this req son, that it will be made in exact and scientific accordance with the charac- ter of the ore to be treated from the start.
 The management is confident of obtaining from the ores, therefore, a very high per cent. of extraction Of values-from SS to 96 per cent.-and the total cost of the treatment of the ore will not exceed 90 cents per ton.
 The Clancy Brothers of Canauea and their eastern associates, are the owners of the Orc Maximo property. It is quite extensive. embracing over l l,0OO acres of mineral ground, the re- sLective locations covering extensive ore bodies. which are very strong on the surface and continuous With a well-defined course and excellent for nation. Under development the strong surface indications have proven true and the ore bodies opened up range in size from five to thirty

ALL STOCKS ARE WEAK ARE STILL FINDING ORE
President MCMiIlan Says Can anea-Ouluth Has Ore in
 Shaft No, 1.
PLAN TO INSTALL
 MORE MACHINERY

A letter received yesterday evening at the brokerage offices of Pritchard, Hagen & Co. of this city, from George McMillan, president of the Cananea- Duluth Copper Company at Cananea, says:
 We DOW also have ore in our No. 1 shaft in a crosscut run from the 1G0- foot level and running in the direction of the American property, whose side lines adjoin our ground west of No. l shaft about GOO feet. The ore is not of as high grade as that encoun- tered in No. 2 shaft, but Is good ship ping mineral, and we look for increase in values after we have attained greater depth.
 We are continuing sinking in both shafts and at the same time cross cutting in both places, with results that are far better than anything we had anticipated so early in the deVel- orment of our property.
 At preset .I| Gere are more than thirty-five tons of ore of very high grade on the dump of shaft No. ?. and we are arranging to ship this to the smelters during the next two weeks
  shipments about twice each week. While the shipments will not be large sufficient ore will be sent to the smelt' CTS to return the company profits more than ample to carry forward the work to the very best advantage. The company is now negotiating for the installation of another boiler and engine for shaft No. ? and the property will be equipped with all machinery as it is found necessary for the prosecution of work in the most economical and systematic manner. What work is now being done on the property and has already been done comes to a price per foot of ground explored, that is exceedingly low, and | the company has more than ample i funds now from the sale of its devel 1 oLment fund allotment of stock to en able us to place the enterprise on paying basis and the property will be on a paying basis before many months"

STOCK MARKETS
 PRESENT CONDITION

The dull season seems to be on in earnest with reference to the Bonan. "a stock market. The liquidation Of losses with reference to the San Fran cisco earthquake, calling for millions from the big insurance companies, to- gether with the heavy drain on the banking institutions and trust compa' nies of the country, coupled with the rumor that the Globe company is to be floated shortly. all makes for dull season of trading in local copper stock with no sign of better prices for sever al weeks and possibly months to come
 The summer season, from May to September, has always been looked upon as the dull months for copper and the present season promises tc beat al lrecords. The announcement of new ore bodies encountered, the ex ceedingly favorable aspect of devel opment work in Bonanza Circle prop critics, has no perceptible effect on the market. Lower prices may be looked for during the next thirty days, and :; marked decline has already been re corded since March l.

feet in width andsipcrease as depth is attained. &
 There are two Ornament working shafts, a large tbree-comparIment -haft equipped with a very efficient development plant, including hoists, boilers, air-compressors, etc, with capacity sufficient for 1000 feet of depth, and two-compartment shaft, with like proper equipment. The men are making almost three feet per day in each shaft. Other devel- opment work consists of tunnels, cross-cuts, drifts, etc.
 There are GO Americans employed at the mine, with 150 Mexicans at present, and this force is to be ln- creased.
 The water supply is unfailing and ample, as IS also wood, the company controlling S0,U0O acres of land around the mine for these and other surIaUS uses, part of the land being the com pany's own. The pipe lines are al ready completed for the conveyance and distribution of this water, es IS also the piping for the distribution of compressed air in the mines.
 The company already has many permanent buildings at the mines, and carries a stock of S400 GOO worth of goods in their store. besides a large stock of general supplies. They are keeping thirty-five wagons in commis- sion between Cananea and their prop erty. There is a well-defined rumor that a railroad is to tap this region at no distant time.
 The ore runs in actual values $40 and $50 to the ton in general aver ages in gold and silver values-free gold, with silver alloy, and a small quantity of light sulphide.

The Entire List Is Neglected, and Everyone Has Turn

STOCES HAVE FALLEN OFF
 FROM 5 TO 10 POINTS.
(8y Frank j. Grsf.)

BISBEE. April 2S.-The end of this weeks market finds all stocks in a very weak condition. All stocks. without exception, are apparently neglected and every one has frrred seller at one time. This additional slump can no doubt be traced to the heavy liquidation of stocks due to the San Francisco disaster. This is evi- dent from the slump which has oc- cured in the New York and Boston stocks during the past few days. With out exception these stocks have fallen of on an average from five to six points. In the local market the stocks have dropped almost sl since the close of last night. and at the present tune we see nothing to cause any change in the market, although there may not be so rapid a decline when the liquidation ceases. We do not look for any change during the coming week Calumet & Arizona is includ' ed in the decline and al the close to- day is being offered at S1la, with no bidders. Calumet & Pittsburg. which held stronger than any. is now being offered at s25.75.
 Lake Superior is without takers al $31 50, and it looks as if the stock would be bought cheaper than last year. Pittsburg & Duluth is also be ing offered at s1S.75, and it looks as if the stock would De bought cheaper than last year. Pittsburg & Duluth is also being offered at s1S.75, and 1t looks as if this were almost a buy al these prices. Junction dropped 10 SPA, although we doubt if very much could be had at this price. Denn Arizona is holding up well at s14 bid and we should not be surprised to see the stock hold around this price American is feeling the effects of the call and at s10 asked there is no de mand.

 Of the copper share market there only remains to be said that conditions are anything but encouraging. Depressing in fuences during the past sew eral days have multiplied them selves to such an extent as to cause a state of affairs so far as stocks are concerned, which has reduced the prices of shares to figures which with out doutE makes everything offered on the list bargains among bargains.
