Greene's Big Operations In Chihuahua
Country.

The biggest operations of the COM
panies in which Col. Greene is inter
ested at present are in Chihuahua
There the Greene Gold-Silver com
pany has four mills in operation, and
Col. Greene stated that work would
be commenced in a short time on
five additional plants. This company
has mineral concessions covering
1000 square miles in Chihuahua.
In addition to the mines in Chi
huahua, Col. Greene is at the head of
the Sierra Madre Land Lumber
company, which owns thousands of
acres of heavily timbered lands.
cat the present time we are turn
ing out about 25O, 900 feet of lumber
per day, but we expect to increase
the output to 5000 feet later" re-
marked Col. Greene. "When we
have the transportation facilities for
handling half million feet of lum-
ber daily we shall market some of
the timber in New York. The Chi
huahua lumber is fully the equal of
the Oregon and the Washington
TIMBER
At the present time ffty-one miles
of railroad are being constructed by
the Greene people into the heart of
the mining and lumber district. The
road is known as the Rio Grande,
Sierra Madre and Pacific, and con-
meets with the Chihuahua and
Pacific.
The mining, lumber and railroad
interests in which the Greene people
are interested represent capitaliza-
tion of S45, 100000.
In addition to building a railroad,
Col. Greene has constructed a wagon
road in the Jesus Maria district from
Tomosachio to Minaca. This road is
without a doubt one of the finest
mountain roads in existence and it is
probably unequalled. In its con-
struction great obstacles were over |
come and now that it is completed |
automobiles can be run over it at a |
good speed. The road is 100 miles |
long and cost $24O,OOO.
Speaking generally of the various
companies in which he is interested, |
Col. Greene said: II am pushing the
work of development along all lines,
not only with the Greene Gold-Silver
but with the other enter
prises with which l am connected"
Col. Greene recently purchased ex-
tensive coal lands in the Pilares
field in Sonora. The purchase in
cludes $4,000 acres. These coal fields
will soon be reached by a branch of
the Southern Pacific in Sonora, and
this will enable Col. Greene to secure
coal and natural coke for
his smelter at Guaymas.-

A CRY FROM THE
DETITUTE BABIES.
Mrs. Governor Kibbey is in Receipt of
Appeal From San Francisco.

Notwithstanding the fact that
millions have been provided for the
earthquake sufferers in California it
is becoming more evident every day
that much more will be needed.
Some few days since Mrs. Governor
Kibbey received a telegram from the
secretary of the National Mothers
and Daughters San Francisco Or
phans' Relief Fund committee ask
ing her to cooperate with it in re-
lieving the distress prevailing among
the babies of the coast city.
Mrs. Kibbey Immediately sent an
affirmative answer and at once
started on the work of providing the
little mites with the necessities of
life. A depot has been established
at the office of DIR. Thomas, II West
Adams street, where donations of
money and all else that will tend to
the comfort of the babies may be
left.
Phoenix has done nobly in the
work of relief, but it should not be
stopped so long as the little inno-
cents of the coast city are in want.
Money, food, clothing and whatever
else that may be useful are re-
quested. 1t is also the intertion of
the San Francisco committee to use
a part of the money that may be
secured in the employment of COM
petent nurses of which the destitute
mothers and babies are in great

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years
of Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr.
J. B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST.,
Minneapolis, MINI, was tortured by
sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time is
beyond comprehension. Nothing gave
him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain Pain Balm. One
application of that linament relieved
the pain and made sleep and rest
possible, and less than one bottle has
effected n permanent cure. If
troubled with sciatica OF rheumatism
why not try a % cent bottle of Pain
Balm and see for yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale

We are informed that Weast &
Clark have made Il very important
strike of sulphide ore on some new
locations on Middle Goodwin creek,
about six miles east of Aravaipa
postoffice. The ledge is said to have
an average width of eight feet and
to have been prOspected for over
1900 feet along its strike. Eighteen
inches of sulphide ore has been
opened at several places which runs
26 per cent. copper, and the average

Three parties have been in Benson

BILE that one or the order of the three
parties will decide to take the smell
ter over and operate it. All the
men who have visited the proposition
have looked very thoroughly into the
matter and have gone away with the
impression that it is favorable.
Doan Merrill cashier of the Bank of
Benson, who is in charge of the af-
fairs of the Southwestern Smelling
and Refining company in Benson, be-
lieves that the smelter will be
started within the next six months
at the very most, placing this time
as d conservative estimate. The
plant of the Southwestern Smelling
aud Refining company is kept in
good shape at all times, so that in
case some of the eastern parties who
are figuring on the proposition decide
to take it over and operate it, it will
be able to begin operations with the

Coal Fields Examined by Prof. Vim. P.
Blake.

Prof. VIM. P. Blake has returned
from an examination of some coal
mines in the Deer Creek coal
field. The examination was made for
Col. George r. Chittenden of the
Chittenden Copper camp in the Sad
die mountains.
Prof. Blake says there is d good
quality of coal which makes most ex-
cellent fuel for boilers and gas and it
cokes well. There is a good solid
three-toot vein, which is being taken
out for the Chittenden reduction
plant located about ten miles dis
tant, and to which good road is be-
ing constructed. The Gila River
railway will pass within eight miles
of this coal camp, which makes it
of easy access for fuel purposes
The Chittenden, or Saddle Noun
tain company, is employing 300 men.
There is being made fine grade of
matte, which is being sent to the.
Humboldt smelter. The mines of the
company and the district generally
are full of promise. Prof. Blake
says that the region is going to be, in
fact is now, a most important mining
center.

THE MAYOR OF BUFFALO.

Every morning a carriage drawn by
two spirited horses dashes up to the
Buffalo city hall. A man with white
hair and beard and wearing a silk
hat and frock coat steps out. A news
boy rushes up to hold the door, and
says. Good morning, j. NJ !"
Good morning. lad says the man.
Then he steps briskly into the big
gray building. 1t is long before
o'clock, and the scrub-women are
washing the tile floors. AS they see
him they say
Good morning, j. NJ
Good morning, ladies'" is the re-
ply. 1t is to early for the elevators
to be running and he goes up the
steps to the second floor and enters
stately room hung with portraits of
Grover Cleveland and other mayors
of Buffalo. Here group of people
peddlers, hucksters, merchants-is
already waiting, and they, too, greet
him as u. N."-familiarly, but with
respect. u. N" is James N. Adams
the new mayor of Buffalo. Nobody
there bothers to address him or to re-
fer to him by his full name; it is al
ways 81. N" Yet for rs years that
name has been linked with the high
est commercial integrity of the city,
and today it has come to be symbol
for efficient city government. For
merly the saying in Buffalo was, go

worth. now it is, go to j. NJ md

get it. He has made a fortune In
business with clean hands; he has
achieved success in politics without
being politician. He has sacrificed
well-earned leisure and comfort
for the duties of an office that he has
made the busiest and most fruitful
perhaps in its history. Under him

Psmpered poultry.

At the National stock yards, at
East ST. Louis, chickens lead life Of
luxury. It is not for them to scratch IN
the dirt for worms and run eagerly
after corn. They are placed, as 1t
were, under the Weir Mitchell treat
ment. They live chiefly CT milk diet.
and are carefully excluded from any
undue excitement Two meals are
given them daily, and after each meal
the house is darkened that nothing
may interfere with their after-dinner
nap. The food given is a careful com
bination of buttermilk, ground cereals
and ground meats. To insure impartial
ity, large quantities are prepared at a
time To each bird is allotted a GER
tain amount. Attached to the feeding
stand is a rubber tube, which Is
pushed through tbs coop; next, chick
en- after chicken is taken out and fed.
by inserting rubber tube into Its
beak. When the chickens become ac-
customed to this, they open their
mouths eagerly for the nursing bottle,
as the feeder passes from one to the
other. After twenty-one days OF this
diet, the pampered fowls are usually
ready to go down the elevator to the
