BIG MINING DEAL In
BURRO MOUNTAINS.
The BurrO Mountain Company Acquires
Rich COpeer Properties.

One of the biggest mining deals
closed in Grant county for some time
was made during the past few days,
when the Burro Mountain Copper
company purchased the mines of the
Southwestern Copper company in the
Burro mountains. The consideration
was 100000.
The Burro Mountain Copper COM
pany has had the properties under
lease and option to buy for some time
past. The Southwestern Copper
company's properties comprise among
it's best mines the Saint Louis, which
is one of the oldest and biggest cop
per mines in that district, and has
produced hundreds of thousands of
dollars for its owners in past years.
The Burro Mountain Copper CON-
pany will at once enlarge the
capacity of it's present mill near its
mines in the Burros, to 300 tons daily
capacity. This company now owns
one square mile of the best copper
ground in the southwest, and, while
it has been operating on a very large
scale during the past few years, it
will at once greatly increase its work
on an extensive scale.
The Southwestern Copper company
was owned by Boston parties and the
biggest stockholders in the Burro
Mountain Copper company are the
Leopolds, Chicago millionaires.

DereIict COIIeeianS.

The superintendent of the Bowery
branch of the Y. M. G. A. says that
one-third of the human derelicts that
drift into that refuge are college
graduates. They are men who have
not the price of meal or a nights
lodging; and men, too, who have lost
their grip even on uptown and West
Side assistance" The Bowery ''for
theirs''-and then the kindly shelter
of the refuge provided by the godly
men.
Something has gone wrong in the
cases of these fellows. They were
not sent to college to bring up in d
Bowery refuge. 1t has been con
clusively proved by statistics that
the productivity of any people is pro
portional to its education. The bet
ter educated. the more production
The worse educated, the less.
Yet some men would be better pro-
ducers if they had never gone tc
college. Why? Because they have
not the moral or mental foundation
for superior education. They top
pie and fall beneath it. A mushy
mind will not hold up a college train
ing. Probably the majority of these
educated Bowery. derelicts would
have made good carpenters.
But who can tell what youth of
eighteen will develop into? "Stupid'
boys have firmly fixed habit of be
coming college presidents, great
authors and $4,000 preachers.
Don't blame the colleges as col.
leges, nor the fond parents who mis-.
calculated the boys abilities. You
never can tell. But it is fair tC
blame the colleges to the extent that
they permit influences of snobbery
and dissipation to prevent their
legitimate influence.
1t would be interesting to round up
these collegians of the Bowery and
see how many of them were socially
''smart" when they were undergradu-
ated, and how many scorned the
''grinds." Probably the majority OF
these derelicts are not educated at
all. The college education never
touched them.-New York Mail.

"a MuIe-FOOted Indian.

BENTON, Arizona, May ii, 1906
EDITOR COPPER ERA:-A very
queer thing happened on the Blue
Thursday of last week which startled
everyone.
Jacob and Billy Johns were out
deer hunting when they suddenly
came in contact with an Indian.
They were starting to shoot at a
deer when they saw the Indian COM
ing out of the brush. The Indian
did not see the boys, and walked on
but the boys being very brave raised
their guns, both fired at the same
time, one hitting the Indian in the
leg, the other in the foot. Billy
shot and hit him in the arm. They
then followed him and saw he was
trying to bandage his arm with a
handkerchief. The boys then left
the Indian to spread the news, ar
irving at the residence of J. S.
johnson, and told him what had hap
pened, which made him feel very
anxious to know the truth, so taking
Jacob with him he thought he would
have him show the moccasin tracks.
AS soon as Mr. johnson saw what
was supposed to be the Indians
track, he perceived it was shaped
like a mule track and came back
home, on arriving he announced it to
be a mule-footed Indian.
Mr.. Johnson is of the opinion that
in their excitement the boys must
have mistook a mule for an Indian.

NEW MEXICO NEWS

The president has appointed B. S.
Rodey as a Judge of the United
States court in Porto Rico, to which
Office is attached a salary of $1,000
per year. Mr.. Rodey's numerous
friends in the territory will be
pleased to know that he has received
such a good appointment, and his
numerous enemies in the territory
will be greatly pleased to know that
he will be in Porto Rico when the
next nominating convention is held.
Plenty of shooting in the northern
part of the county recently. The
Independent of last week reports one
cold blooded murder, one justiiable
homicide and two bystanders winged
by poor shooting. The murder was
at Fierro, where one Mexican killed
another after a gambling dispute,
and made his escape over the hills.
At latest accounts he had not been
captured. 1t is expected that Judge
Parker will read another lecture on
the pernicious six-shooter habit at
the next term of court.-Liberal.
HI. E. Muse, the professional dep
uty sheriff, who is generally in the
employ of some mining company, to
keep order in the camp, killed an
other Mexican at Leopold last week.
The Mexican became hilarious after
too much booze, and had
turned his gun loose. He was pro-
miscous in his shooting, and Muse
Quilted him. If the Liberal remem-
bers rightly it is about two years
since Muse killed a Mexican, on
which occasion he killed two, under
similar circumstances. 1t would be
wise for Mexicans working in a camp
where Muse is employed to take the
pledge, and keep it.-Liberal.

Just at the present writing there Is
quite a number of prospectors en-
gagged in the exciting pursuit of
seeking a lost mine. The mine is
supposed to be located in a box cam
yon, somewhere to the north of FL
dorado 1t is known as the Hughes
property, and there are countless
stories regarding its fabulous rich
ness. AS the story goes, Hughes,
who lived at Eldorado years ago,
often made trips out to his mine, and
returning, brought his burros laden
with exceedingly rich ore running
high in both gold and copper values.
The location of the ground the old
man guarded zealously, and but little
was ever learned, other than that it
was located in d. canyon in a north
erly direction, and that the claims
were all properly mOnumented. 1t is
these monuments that prospectors
have eagerly looked for, and it is re-
ported that Wrineke and Bartogee
have at last found them. They, in
turn, are preserving the greatest
secrecy, but their movements are be-
ing closely watched by others, who
hope, in this way, to get into the new
section and TO secure adjacent
ground Nevada Searchlight.

An Editors DecaIO6ue

The Fort Cobb (Kan.) Record man

ments which he publishes in his
paper:
First-Thou shalt not go away from
home, to do any trading, nor asking
for favors.

will patronize thee.
Third-Thou shalt employ thy
home people so that they shall not be
driven from their homes to find
breard for their little ones.
Fourth-Thou shalt not ask credit,
is goods cost much and the mer-

bills, his children clamor daily for
bread and his wife abideth at home
for lack of rainment as adorneth her
sister. Blessed, yea, thrice blessed,
is the man who pays cash.
Fifth-Thou shalt not ask for re-
duced prices on thine influence, "
for guile is in thy heart and the mer-
chant readeth it like an open book.

Sixth-Thou shalt do whatever

Eighth-Thou shalt spend thy earn
ings at hone that they may return
from whence they came and give
nourishment to such as may come
after thee.
Ninth-Thou shalt not. bear false
witness against the town wherein
thou dwellest, but speak well of it to
all men.
Tenth-Thou shalt keep these COM
mandments and teach them to thy
| children, even unto the third and the
fourth generations, that they may
flourish and grow in plenty when
thou art laid to rest with thy fathers.

AFTER THE MINES.
Santa Cruz County Assessor Says Un-
patented Mines Must Bear Their
Proportion of Taxes.

From the Oasis.
Recently Sheriff Charles L. Fowler,
in his capacity as assessor of Santa
Cruz county, received this commune
cation from Attorney General Clark:
PRESCOTT, Ariz May 2, 1906.
Mr. Chas. L. Fowler. Sheriff of Santa Cruz
county, Nogales.
DEAR SIR:-Some time ago the ter
you desired an expression of opinion
from this Office as to whether I'M
patented mining claims were taxable
under the laws of Arizona. 1 beg
leave to advise you that they are
taxable as personal property and
that you should be governed in as
sessing them by the same rule that
obtains in assessing other property,
to-wit, upon the basis of their cash
value. Very truly yours,
E. S. CLARK,
Attorney General.
In accordance Herewith Sheriff
Fowler addressed the following letter
to one of the principal owners of
+.
NoeALEs, Ariz., May 2. 1906
Mr.. Frank Powers, Patagonia. Arizona.
DEAR SIR:-I enclose a copy of
letter that 1 received a few days
since from the territorial attorney
general. 1 will place a valuation of
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars on
your mine for this year; at the pres
ent rate of taxes, namely, 1896, you
are now due this county Eleven
Thousand, Eight Hundred and Fifty
Dollars. Please send me amount to
cover same and 1 will send you the
regular tax receipt.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. L. FOWLER.
Mr.. Fowler states that he will put
upon the assessment roll all the I'M
patented mines of actual value, such
as has been proved by shipments, as
in the case of the Worlds Fair mine.
Many are asserting that he can not
place valuations upon such proper
ties. When people talk that way
the sheriff smiles grimly, and says
nothing. All he has to do is to put
down the property at what he con-
siders a fair valuation, and let the
attorney general and the mine owner
wrestle in the courts as to the rest
of the proposition.
