brothers and kept house for them while
they worked in their uncle's cigar fac

Arrangements had been made for a
family reunion at the little home, and
a cousin who came from Chicago found
the dead body. He arrived at the
house and, finding no one at home, sat
down to smoke He looked through a
half open door leading to bed room
and saw the body of his cousin dangl-

ran for a physician, but there were
no signs Of life and nothing could be
done.

Both children are doing nicely and
while the mother has been dangerous
Y i'll we are glad to announce her as
now out of danger This is the most
curious case We have ever heard of
and one but seldom met with in med

three days apart and the birthday of
one falls in January and the other in
February and yet in a way, they may
be called twins"

 WATER AT 700 FEET
FORMER SECRETARY eEHlER
 TELL OF THE PROPERTY.
Sinking Stopped Awaiting Pumps-csr
 Lead of Ore Made 30 Per Cent at
 Smeiter-company Will Build its Own Reduction Works at Florence.

Former Secretary Behier. of the Cal
 umet & Cochise, returned to the city Sunday from the property of the Lake Superior X Arizona, where for the last several months he has served as sec retary of that company. Climatic conditions unsuitable to his health caused his resignation from the post. Donald Stewart, of Houghton. Mich. poets to make his future headquarters lin Bisbee.
 Regarding the L. s. & A., MT. Beh- Ter states that the property Is showing up in very encouraging manner under work conducted until lately under fav orable conditions on the ground. This work, however. is now suspended pending the arrival of pumps to han dle water which has come in on the 300 level of the winze being sunk at the junction of two tunnels previously
 run into the mountain. At the point where the winze starts down the tun- nels have depth of 400 feet, which practically gives the winze depth at the present time of 700 feet. Water
 had not been expected for some little
 distance further, and pumps were ac-
 ccrdingly not on the ground. Wheth-
 CT the main body of water has now
 been struck or whether the work was
 simply entered into water pocket is
 not determined. The flow is not heavy so far, but sufficient to make
 work in it to advantage without pumps Impossible. Expectation is that the bumps will soon be on the ground,
 when the winze will resume sinking. | A carload of ore recently shipped to the Fl Paso smelter made 30 per cent Icopper. The property has a consid-
 erable body of high grade ore in sight. The plan now entertained is to build a smelter for the treatment of l.. s. & A. product near Florence, on the Gila River. So far progress at the prop lerty has been handicapped by its inac- feasibility, the distance to rail at the present time being thirty miles, Flor Ierce being the nearest point. With a little further development at the Iproperty railroad will either be built Ito Florence by the company or the Santa Fe will run branch line in. A Igcod deal of promising mineral ground
 exists along the route that would have to be followed. At the L S. & A.
 there is good deal of good looking |goid formation in addition to the cop Iper lodges which have to this time re- lceived attention of the company. The lground is not far distant from the old lSilver King, lying northeast of Flor lepce. 4. C. Sieboth is superintendent
 at the L. s. & A. and at the present
 time is employing between 40 and 50 men on development work.

cAvE-lN AT COMMONWEALTH.
Was Advantageous in Filling In old sto2es--New Workings Not
 Affected.

A eave-in occurred at the old Com monwealth mine al Pearce last week lat about the same point the former |cave happened. The cave last week, while of considerable extent, did no dfmage to workings that have lately been conducted, and no one was in- iured.
 Instead of damaging the property the cave may be said to have been of benefit. It filled in many old stopes that are said to have been work ed out. In the newer workings of the mine. which are producing ore that is keeping the 40-stamp mill busy, the ground is said to be in good condition land the reports of danger there that have come out from time to time in the last several months are said to have little foundation in fact.

SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS.
Extensive Work in Last Several Months and Increased Railroad
 Trackage Tell of Confidence.

No features are more striking 10 the observer in a walk around the deyel- oping and producing properties Of the camp than the immense amount of new surface improvements, including new railroad trackage. that have been made in the last several months. On all sides these improvements are to be witnessed They tell convincing story of confidence felt in the future and of certainty of permanency. Al nearly all of the mines the Southwest ern has during the last six months eeded increased sidings, while several new spurs of importance have been built. The effort for more siding room has been particularly noticeable in the last couple of months, and has resulted in the leveiiug of much ground, the making of number oi fills and the putting down of great deal of track.
