The Country Correspondent.

Again, at night, when the work is
done, you pick up the country weekly
from the oh home back east. You
look over town news. scan the blazing
half page ads and turn o7er to the
country correspondence. Not that
you were acquainted in every
neighborhood from Pleasant Valley to
Pumpkin Ridge, nor do you know
the present generation spoken of in
the news items. But here and there
is an old family name that makes you
think and takes you back to the good
old days gone by. An item about the
old church or the school, and as you
sit there recollection brings back
memories all but forgotten. You
wander out on the big road through
the valley and woodland to the big
farmhouse. Then hundred faces of
boyhood companions are all before you
as you picture the revival at
the crossroads church or the spelling
bee at the old red school house, and
you wonder what has become of all the
boys and girls you left when you
started west.

A Terrible Accident.

Horatio Fay, while unloading coal
at the coal sheds of NJ. S. Stacy on
the Illinois Central tracks, about
three O'Clock Monday, met with an
accident which will make him a
cripple for life.
Mr.. Fay went to the south end of
the car and with a pinch bar started
the car north few feet so as to be
able to throw coal into the door of
the shed. When the car started he
went TO the other end to stop it OPP
posite the door. The car was going
faster than he thought it was and
ran over the pinch bar and threw
Mr.. Fay, who had hold of the bar,
on the ground, between the rails
directly in front, the car passing
over him. He caught the brake rods
as the car passed over his body and
was dragged forty or fifty feet. When
the car struck the crossing, which
broke his hold, he then caught the
car axle.
Bert Parmalee, who had seen him
fall, from a distance of hundred
yards, ran to his assistance and with
the help of several other men stopped
the car and got Mr.. Fay out from be-
tween the trucks. His right leg was
shattered almost the entire distance
from the heel to the knee. Splinters
of bone were found between the rails,
where he had been dragged. DR..
Whitley, Bundy and Owen found it
necessary to anputate the leg above the
knee. Usage Press.

Why Paper is Used.

The country is flooded with 81. &C
a general scarcity of silver dollars.
1t had been the custom of the govern
ment to pay the express on silver
when bankers wanted it, but of late
Secretary Shaw has required them to
stand this expense themselves. The
bankers find that they can express
s., 600 in paper for the same charges
as are asked for $500 in silver and are
ordering paper when they need cur.
rency. This accounts for the in
creased use in the western states of the
smaller denominations of paper mon

FINAL COUNTY MINES.

The following items are from the Florence Blade:
 Tom Haley made a rich strike in one of his properties recently. He was sinking a winze in one of his tunnels. and struck ore that will run very high in gold and silver. The ore is a sanG carbonate of lead. We are glad to hear good reports from the Haley properties as Messrs. Haley and Souffrien are old timers who have spent years of their time and considerable money in open ing up prospects in Pinal county and all the good fortune that befaus this pair is certainly well merited. They also have some fine copper properties near Kelvin, from which they have al ready shipped considerable ore and which run well in gold and silver.
 J. K. Mccarthy returned Thursday from Kelvin. where he has been for several days on business connected with his Bryan group Of mines at Riv- erside on the opposite side of the river from Kelvin. Mrs Clara Kinney @. Globe, a partner of MT. Mccarthy in the mines. was also present, having driven over from Globe Saturday last. and together with a representative pE Calumet Michigan capitalists, they visited and made an examination of the
  pleased with what he saw and will without doubt, make some kind of d deal for these mines as soon as he can hear from his people. The work of sink ing on shaft No. ? -s about to be com menced. Several ca-s Of ore have all ready been taken from this shaft and shipped to the Humboldt shelter and brought good returns. It is now down 100 feet and has four foot body or copper pyrites. This is splendid mine and with development will prove to be one of the best producers in Pinal county.
 Wm. Mill Williams. a Globe mer- chant. went to Kelvin the fore part Of the week and met thar" couple oE eastern mining men who had been in the town several days awaiting his ar rival for the purpose of going to look over some mining property owned by him. which is located about 10 miles southwest of Kelvin and IS miles east Of this city in PinaI county. This mine was located a great many years ago Is a silver mine and was at that time called the Ray. It carried a high per centage of silver and copper. but as a consequence of the fall in the price oi silver, it was abandoned and laid idle until AIr. Williams relocated it.

MINING REVIVAL AT PAYsoN.

James Noel, who has had many years experience in mining. has spent many days in the Mazatals. looking over the Boardman and Taylor group of copper claims. Mir Noel says thev are the largest and best showings he has ever seen. Messrs. BOardman and Taylor have two men working on the property and they report excellent ~asults.
 William Craig has just finished d mill run on r 1-2 tons of Golden Won der ore which gave S43.65 ~~~ ton. The Golden Wonder in years past yielded $SO. 900 from ore taken out and milIed but is now nearly full of water and will need machinery erected before any more can be done.
 Dan Cameron has been prospecting for w H. Hilligass for the past five years and has struck good showing of copper three miles west of PavsOn. Mir. Hilligass has two shifts running a tunnel and expects to get good ore within the next 30 feet. Groupings as say 20 2-5 per cent copper.
 Bert Callom and MT. Bierce. from Globe, were in town a few days ago and reported fifteen tons of rich silver ore sacked and ready for teams to haul to the O. D. smelter; also great deal of ore ready to be stoped.
 Mr. Hamilton. who has a lease on the Colonel Ellison gold claims. ten miles east of Payson, has seven tons of ore al his water power arrastra. Nj Hamilton says the ore will go better than S2O0 per ton.

 The following items are from the last issue of the Globe Silver Bilt:
 Conditions at the old Dominion have improved considerably of late. The flow of water in the mine has decreased and the water is now comparatively clear. Two cages are running in the shaft and a larger force of miners is employed repairing the several levels The amount of ore hoisted is also somewhat larger. Good headway y is being made in shaft sinking. The cutting of the new pump station on the 10th level was finished some days ago and the cement foundations for the new pumping machinery are being put in. Within t"o weeks the new Pres colt pump should be running. The smelter has run continuously and the output, under the circumstances. has been fully satisfactory. The arrivals Of coke have been large and the bins are filling up rapidly.
 R. T. McKeever. of Boston. vice president and general manager of the Copper Range railroad, and C. w. Sanders. of Haughton.

Charles H. Bruiler, member of the board of supervisors of Fayette coun- ty, Iowa: J. w. DTvyer, member Of the board of supervisors of West Union, Iowa. and W. F. Davis, a retired busi- ness man of Maynard, Iowa, all stock holders in the Gazelle Gold company, accompanied by T. Fl. Dunnigan, sec retary of the company. arrived in Prescott Thursday from a visit to the companys properties in the Bradshaw mountains says the Journal-Miner. They are all enthusiastic oyer the out look at the mines, and more than pleased with their investment
 The Gazelle group, consisting of four claims. three of which are located along what is known as the "Old Tiger" vein is situate within two miles of the Grey Eagle and Ora Bella mines. and about four miles south of the terminus of the Bradshaw mountain railroad at Crown King.
 The company is running a tunnel along the vein into the high mountain along Humbug gulch. The ground is very precipitous and for every foot of tunnel run, a gain Of a foot in depth is made. I is proposed to continue this opening. which is now in a distance of over 100 feet and in which there is a very SOOu SiDN lllGs lO lsJDU lEel- Ilt breast of the tunnel. which is over sev- en feet in width, shows stratified ore body of hematite and iron sulphides carrying fair values in silver, gold and some copper. The vein is much wider than the breast of the tunnel and it is expected that the values in the ore will increase as depth is attained, this being one of the peculiarities of the ore bodies found in this district.
 The company is also sinking a shaft which is equipped with a fifteen horse power gasoline hoist. It is anticipated that this shaft will, at a depth of from $50 to 400 feet, intersect the "Old Tiger vein which passes through the claim. which is known as the "Old Jack Moore property From this shaft a crosscur will be run to tap a parallel vein called the Mckinley, which lies about 300 feet west of the Tiger vein, and upon whicn there is a large and promising ourcror, showing some ore wherever any devel- opment work has been done.
 The "Old Tiger vein" has long en- jOyed the distinction of being one of the great Assure veins of the Brad shaw mountains, carrying in places, large and rich deposits of silver ore. as well as some gold.
