property have given the management added confidence ntheir holdings. and as a consequence the stock will be raised in price at an early date.
 The force at the Standard mines has been increased to no men. many Of whom are employed on developmenr work. A large dam is now being built a short distance above the property which will store a sufficient amount of water to run the camp from one rainy season to the next. Two smaller dams were constructed during the past few years which stored a considerable amount of water, but not enough to last during the entire years. The Standard is the first company in this section to undertake the storage of water for mining purposes, and it has made such a pronounced success of the undertaking that no doubt many others will follow until there will be many lakes all through the mountains of the district

Operations are now con- fined to making survey for road from the claims to the nearest railroad point, Hereford, fourteen miles dis tant. Until this road is completed lit tie can be done at the property, which as it stands is inaccessible.
 As to those behind the company, MT POhndorf refuses to make further statement. than that they are Butte people and that Amalgamated directors are among the number The price for which the property was bonded is also held in secrecy.
 The tunnels and a large working shaft are to be started with the begin ming of development. A hoist will be brought to the ground as soon as pos sible. The shaft equipment will be sufficient to go 1000 feet with.-Bisbee Miner

Boyle was on his way to St. Louis where he will confer with his company relative to future developments of the mine. He also takes back with him the report of the favorable trial of the solar engine at Needles and the news that it is sure to revolutionize the gen eration of power in the hot countries of the southwest.
 J. S. Withers and Bob Brannock have opened up a great body of ore in their Mammoth mine in the Secret Pass section. The shaft on the prop erty has reached a depth of about sev- enty-five feet at which point the ore has increased in value materially. Messrs. Withers and Brannock have located a group of claims on this side of the mountains and have taken out ore running well in copper and gold. The camp near the mines is one of the best in the range, there being plenty of excellent water and fuel for camp pur- poses.
 Frank Shafer is making a success of the MinnesOta-C -Connor mill. having so far handled several thousand tons of tailings at big profit. He has about six weeks more work in the tailings dumps and then the mine will have to be drawn upon for ores.
 J. D. Jordan came in Tuesday last from the MocI1ing Bird mine and re- ports that the amount of ore in sight in the property is getting beyond all cal culations. The ore in the new shafts continue to improve in width and value
 Leonard Vogt, one Of the earliest settlers of Mohave county. has just re- turned after an absence of more than twenty years. During that time he visited nearly all the mining camns of the west and has concluded to spend his remaining days here. Mir. Vogt has located some mining ground near the Minnesota-Conner ana is at work developing it.
 F. H. Craft has just shipped a car load of ore from his Hercules mine at Chloride to the smelter. The ore is said to be very rich in lead and silver. This mine has been opened to quite a depth and is said to have a fine body of ore in the lower workings The property is situated only about two miles from the railroad and on a fairly good wagon road.-Kingman Miner.

NEW GOLD DISCOVERY.
Seventy Miles West of Hillside and
 South of Blackberry.

What appears to be a most remark able mineral discovery was recently male by John H. Quick of Skull Valley in the Greyback mountains.
 Speaking of the new find, to a Jour nal Miner man. he said:
 While prospecting along Burro creek. along the foot of Grayback mountain about three months ago I found some very rich float, and tracing it to the ledge, broke some samples from the apex, which I tested by the horn spoon method. and which gave an excellent showing in gold. Tracing the ledge across the mountain for a dis aance of over 2O00 feet I made fur ther tests, securing hattering pros poets. Later I started a shaft which is now down to a depth of 30 feet, in which there is a four-foot pay streak exposed, that gives average returns S47.5O to the ton in free gold, besides small values in silver
 "In the paystreak there occasionally appears a very small streak of ore which samples as high as s5OOO to the ton in gold. several sacks of which recently worked by the arastra process which paid we'll"
 Mir. Quick located three claims on the new discovery, and also a water right on Burro creek, in which there is good stream of water at all seasons of the year.
 The camp is situated near the Sandy about 70 miles in a northwest direction from Hillside station. on the $. r. P x P, and about 75 miles south of Blackberry station on the line of the Santa Fe Pacific railroad.
 Considered from mining standpoint the district is a new one, little mining of any consequence ever having been done there. In a radius of several miles from his place, Quick states that he knows of only three or four prospect ors living there, and engaged in the de- Velopment of any claims.

The incision is. it is said made in a slantwise direction. and during or inn mediately subsequent to the healing process pressure and massage are re- sorted to. None of these features is entirely novel. and the so-called dis cOvery may simply be the combination and perfection of old methods

MoHAvE COUNTY MINES.

The smelter at Chloride made d trial run of fifteen tons of ore Tuesday last, but owing to the failure of the pump to work it had to be blown out until repairs were made. It was to start up again yesterday, but with what result is unknown. The first matte made was from two per cent copper ore, the prod uct running 2S per cent copper.
 It is understood that the Minnesota Conner company is to be reorganized under some other name about the first of July and that deep shaft will be sunk on the property as fast as ma chimes can do it. The mine has been badly worked and it's failure to net the companies operating it big money is entirely chargeable to the manage ment. The mine is all right and un- der proper management will become a big dividend payer.

MINING IN PIMA COUNTY.

The number of reliable companies which are doing extensive development work on various mining properties about Tucson promises that Tucson will have in the near future at least one or two large mining camps tribu- tary and probably several small ones, says the Post. Continued work at the Twin Buttes has developed yet more valuable ores and larger bodies than before encountered and every expecta- tion of the managers has been verified and excellent prospects for the future afforded. This property will begin to ship ore at the rate of a hundred tons a day within six weeks. The Gould mine is being worked steadily and every indication points to a big mine Several large outside interests have been attempting to buy this property recently but so far no deal has been announced. Several properties are be- ing worked in the Orc Blanco district. The Montana, Gold Boulder and three or four others have splendid showings. The Old Pueblo and New State continue to show up in very satisfactory style HelVetia, Silver Bell and Mowry are all active. As a result of the materials and supplies required for these opera tions considerable buying in Tucson has maintained business strong through spring and it promises to re- main so throughout the summer. Out of the many promising mines now be- ing opened it is more than reasonable to believe that some one, if not several. will prove big producers. The result of such a camp in Pima county would be jump in all values and be one of the factors which with railway deveI- opment is beginning to make Tucson the Fl Paso for Sonora and the coast of Mexico.

grating, for instance, the most gro tesque and disiguring scars on face or neck have been prevented or removed by shaving a thin film of skin from an uninjured portion of the body and transplanting it over the injured area. In some cases these skin gratis have been taken from other people. who. either through friendship for the sui ferer or for a substantial quid pro quo. have submitted themselves to a partial "skinning alive" Very wonderful cos metic effects have been secured from the skin graft.
 Another plastic practice of this sur gerry almost equally remarkable is that of reforming misshapen or injured noses and bringing them up to the best Grecian standards by means of wax A certain mixture is prepared so that its consistency at the body tempera- ture approximates that of flesh. and this is then injected hot beneath the skin of the nose By a little rapid modelling the desired shape is secured, and when the wax cooIs the regener- ated one finds himself or herself with an Al nose, which is an improvement on the natural article in that by the application of a little heat it can be remodeled into a variety of new shapes.
 Such a nose would obviously be of the greatest value to a character actor. and it is by no means impossible as sumption that waxing his nose" may some day come to be a regular part Of the preparation for stage career= New York Globe.

DOS CABEZoS DISTRICT.

George IT. Wilson. manager of the Sterling Copper properties, in the Dos Cabezas district, was in this week and reported general activity in his section. Good feeling prevails there on account of the excellent results attending the development of the various copper properties.
 The Western Mining company, which some time ago made cash purchases of the Batchelder group and other copper bearing claims, is pushing develop ment rapidly with a force of about fifty men and is meeting with success by encountering high grade shipping ore in the various workings and regular shipments are being made to the Fl Paso Smelters.

Three eight-hour shifts are engaged in the work, six feet be- ing the average for very twenty four hours work. A new and larger pump was recently installed in the shaft, which caused a little delay, but the work is now being pushed with its usual speed.

BIG STRIKE ON THE STRIP"
Fabulous Riches Unearthed Near San
 Carlos.

Frank Weast, an old-time prospector and well known in the mining camps of Arizona. has developed body of ore on the San Carlos strip that meas ures forty feet across it's face and is fabulously rich in both gold and cop per, the former metal running from IS to 45 per cent and the latter from 30 to 45 per cent.
 Among the prospectors and miners Of the district there is the greatest ex- citement as a result of this latest find and men are rushing to the field from all quarters. Several parties have gone from the Gila valley. It is reported that a number of quick sales of claims have already been made at four and five figure prices.
 The strip" has always been consid- cred a rich mineral section but nothing like the present strike was ever dreamed of. One party calls it a sec ond Cananea and another enthusiast declares it will prove the biggest bo- nanza ever unearthed in the south west. It is certain that if one-half the reports are true the new discovery will create a new set or millionaires in a very short time.-Bulletin.
