A remarkable strike has been made in the J. I. Coleman and l.. w. Rig. gins gold mine, situated near Troy, says the Florence Blade. After sink ing an inclined shaft to a depth of l2O feet, in which was exposed splendid bodies of rich gold ore, the boys went down the hill and started tunnel to tap the vein at good depth below the bottom of the inclined shaft. This tun- nel is now in distance of 1S0 feet and at the breast of it a fOur-foOt vein was crosscut. This vein lies in contact between quartzite and lime schist and stands almost vertical. The vein gangue is principally rose quartz and some of it is phenomenally rich in free gold. We horned a piece of this quartz in which the gold was not visible, yet the string of colors caught in the spoon indicated value of at least 4OO$ per ton in clean, bright gold. Some se- lected specimens will assay lO0,OO0$ in gold. The average of the entire four feet of vein matter is very high, and there is little doubt that Messrs. Cole man and Higgins now have one of the richest gold mines in the territory. They had very valuable property be- fore they cut this blind lead. The Blade congratulates them and hopes they may realize large fortune from their find, as they have not been afraid to put their hard-earned dollars into the ground.

The important news of the week is the announcement that the sulphide vein has been cut on the 800 foot level of the Copper Hill mine belonging to the Arizona Commercial Copper com pany. The vein was encountered af- ter crosscutting for l6O feet through lime, which it was surprise to the management to find at that depth and considered important, as it is altogeth- CT probable that large ore bodies will be found along the contact with diorite. Eight cars of sulphide. were hoisted on Wednesday from the 800 foot level, but the size and value of the sulphide ore body has not yet been determined, and it will probably be slow work opening it up, as the ground is wet and very heavy and crushes the larg- est timbers used. The finding of sul- phide ores in quantities at that depth will add immensely to the value of the Copper Hill mine. Belt.

"Judge" Ainsworth, the joint state hood candidate for delegate to con- gress is now starring" the Territory in the role of humorist. During the Judges" long residence in Arizona he has been engaged exclusively in the work of prospecting for and dis covering technical flaws in our laws that would enable large and small corporations to dodge taxes, grab and hold valuable franchise without con- pensating the public therefor. Now he poses as the friend, of labor and the common people and states that his de- sire for joint-statehood is based upon his objection to corporation control of the civic affairs of this Territory. Now wouldn't that provoke statue of sor- row into ''horse laugh. ."-Florence Blade.

Big Activity at Searchlisht Mine.

The scene around the Searchlight is one of great activity. Besides the reg ular force there are a lot of extra men employed in making improvements. The two new 70-h p. steam boilers are being housed and ten days will prob. ably see the plant in operation. The finishing touches are also being put on the cyanide plant and it will be ready to start by the time sinking is resum- ed. With the present improvements completed the Searchlight Mining x Milling Go. will unquestionably have one of the best equipped mines in southern Nevada. For the present the steam plant will be used only for op- erating the pumps, but later on the intention is to also adopt it for hoist ing and other purposes, thus giving the company two complete plants, the one to be used as an auxiliary.
 But the present activity has come to stay, for with the firing of the boilers much new work will be undertaken, now impossible on account of the shortage of water. Sinking will be resumed and the shaft extended on down to at least the 50O-ft. level at once, and the cyanide plant will be set to work cleaning up the accumulated pile and also handling the tailings di- rect from the mill.
 There are now some 5000 tons of the estimated value of 5$ which can be handled at an approximate profit of 4$ ton. The series of tanks, twenty in all, have a capacityof 100 tons daily, but for the time being will not be called upon to work more than half that amount.-Nevada Searchlight.

A proposed amendment to the con- stitution of the state of Nevada will be voted on at the coming election. Should such a proposition be made to the people of Arizona the joint staters together with the alfalfa gentlemen of the territory, would cast several kinds of fits. It is as follows:
 a Section 1. The Legislature shall provide by law for uniform and equal rate and assessment of taxation, and shall prescribe such regulations as shall secure just valuation for taxa tion of all property, real, personal and possessory, except mines and mining claims, when not patented, the pro- ceeds alone of which shall be assessed and taxed, and when patented, each patended mine shall be assessed at not less than five hundred dollars except when one hundred dollars in labor has been actually performed on such pat ented mine during the year in addition to the tax upon the net proceeds, and also, excepting such property as may be exempted by law for municipal, educational, literary, scientific, or oth- CT charitable purposes.

A Mans Ignorance Cost 100, ,OOO$.

A Globe, Ariz. dispatch of October 7th says: A fire resulting from the combustion of oil gas in the feed tank of locomotive at 5:30 this morning, destroyed the Round House with four engines an an oil car, also the main shops and car of sugar, and partially burned car of merchandise. The tank of the engine that was to pull the outgoing passenger train was being filled with oil and an inexperienced man left to do the work held his lan- tern close to the manhole in the top of the tank, to see how it was filling
 Instantly there was an explosion which blew the man off the tank and scattered burning oil all about. The round house was ablaze in a few mo- ments and the fire was quickly con- municated to the machine shops. Ow- ing to the intense heat and the close ness of the water tank to the burning shop, it was impossible to get the fire apparatus into place. The estimated loss to the railroad is l00,000$. The company has five engines still in serv- ice. The machine shop is the most serious loss to the company and will cripple it for several weeks. The Globe fire company did good work, preventing the flames from spreading to adjacent residence property.

PRICE OF OIL REDUCED.
Increased Amount of Crude Oil Given
at a Reason.

Yesterday morning the Prairie Oil
& Gas company announced a reduc-
tion in the price of Kansas and Okla
homa crude oil of two cents on all
grades, making the high grade 80
cents. Eastern oil is reduced three
cents on high grade and two cents on
all other grades. The reason for the
reduction is the increasing amount of
crude oil. During June the stocks of
high grade PENNSYLVANIA crude oil in
"reased about 100000 barrels-not
ouch, it is true. but taken in connec-
ion with the new stocks accumulating
n the Illinois field and the steadily
increasing stocks in Oklahoma. it is
'resu're that cut was thought to be
the strongest appeal to producers to
curtail the production of oil within
bounds that will permit the pipe lines
TO handle it without troublesome
urplus. In the Mid-Continent fields of
Oklahoma and Kansas the production
has increased in twelve months from
5000 barrels a day to 100000 bar
els, with the prospect that steady
drilling will increase the total output
% 100000 barrels daily during the
Next twelve months. This is more
than the Prairie Oil & Gas company
"en possibly handle, and as there
seems to be no likelihood of any other
agency establishing pipe lines, the sit
uation is embarrassing for both the
producers and the purchasing agency.
Whenever there is surplus of any
commodity the price invariably de-
clines, and crude oil is no exception
to the rule. 1t looks now as if it
would take the better part of year
to shape up the Oklahoma field so it
can be satisfactorily handled. Stats
ties of the field for July indicate that
% per cent less wells have been com
pleted than during June. but new
production, while less, does not cor
respond with fewer completions. II
is also apparent thaat less new work is
in sight than was reported month
ago. With less drilling the situation
will be improved. If production is
kept down to its present volume the
price will likely remain at so cents,
but if there is a steady increase it is
not improbable that further reduc-
lion in price will follow. II is the
same kind of business proposition
as wheat, corn, cattle or any other
commodity. and study Of supply and
'emand viii aid the producer to reach
conclusion along the same lines fol-
owed by farmers and stock raisers.

DAN CUPID GIVEN THE LAUGH
Old Maids and Bachelors Meet in Ma
tional Convention.

Des Moines, La, July 2S.--To mar
ry or not to marry-whether it is bet
ter to run life IS race alone or with a
running mate-this was the question
which dominated the convention of
bachelors and spinsters at Forest City
today. The convention closed with
the question still undecided. Clinton
Merrick, editor of a sociological mag
azine and called the king of bachel-
ors, was chairman. Race suicide en-
tered largely into the discussions and
the prevailing sentiment seemed to be
that it were better to have fewer mar
riages in the face of the records of
the. divorce suits.
Merrick succeeded in preventing
any endorsement of President Roose-
welt because of his position on race
suicide. Dan Cupid got in his work
in one respect, however, when the
convention endorsed Governor Cum
minis for governor, for in this it was
recognized that good government is
founded on the home. The conven-
tion was attended by large number
of old maids and bachelors as well as
married people. Stylish costumes
were worn. The married people pres
ent endeavored to secure quick mar
riages by bantering, but failed. Mer-
rick is a unique character. He invit-
ed President Roosevelt to be present,
hut received the reply that he would
be unable to attend. He also sent
personal invitations to many of the
wealthy bachelors of the nation.
