LOCAL MINES AND MINING.

The Bonita Copper company has
been organized at Stafford to work a
group of claims in the Lone Star
district, formerly known as the
Horseshoe mines. The company will
erect teacher near Stafford, and use
what is known as the Mcintosh pro-
cess, from which it is claimed results
can be had in thirty minutes.
The poles to carry the wires over
which electrical power will be con-
veyed from Morenci to the various
mines recently purchased near Met
calf by the Detroit Copper company,
have been planted, and the wire is
also on the ground, and will soon be
strung. These poles cross a very
rough country, and to even get them
on the ground was no small under
taking. The wire was rolled on
spools up and down the PERCEPTIONS
sides of the mountains, requiring
much time, patience and labor and
must have cost the company a con-
siderable sum of money. A tele-
phone line will also be strung along
the poles, which will connect Mo-
renci with the company's various
mines at Metcalf. AS soon as the
power is in operation at the mines
no doubt the development works on
the company's many new properties
will be pushed with vigor character
istic of the D. G. company.

In Some Parts OF the World ChiIdrea

UnIurky to Weigh the babe.
One Of the %strungest of the many
strange customs that center round the
arrival into the world OF II new baby
Is that which DEGREES that others the
friends and relatives of it's father and
mother must cut and drink In order
that it Uhe infant may thrive and
grow strong.
This usage is everywhere prevalent,
though the nature of the sustenance
provided varies with the latitude and
longitude.
In the extreme north OF England 1t
In run butter" an exceedingly rich
but not unpalatable compound whose
main ingredients are butter. sugar.
rum and spices of various kinds.
Every person entering the house at
the time and for weeks afterward Is
given n taste, and the more people who
can be got to purtake OF the protfered
dainty the better 1t Is supposed to be
for baby.
Among the Aleutians frozen seals

They are stored up in bags for months

Almost everywhere, 100, IL Is con-
sidered unlucky to weigh them. The
mild Hindoo, the English peasant, the
dusky African savage, the Scottish

If you rock an empty cradle, you will
rock a new baby into II. There Is not
a county In England, Wales, Scotland
or Ireland where the belief Is not
prevalent. 1t lie voiced in a score OF
popular couplets, Of which the best
known Is probably the following:
II you rock the cradle empty.
Then you shall have babies plenty.
Go over the whole earth, east and
west. south and north, and you will
find the same superstition prevalent.
In some parts OF the world. too, nota-
bly, in Scotland and Germany, 1t Is
considered ominous of baby's death,
and Swedish folk say it should be
avoided, as it Is apt to make the child
noisy and given to crying.
A baby born on a Sunday Is bound
to be lucky, but by common consent
both Tuesday and Thursday are Ill
omened birthdays.
Importance is also attached In many
countries TO the hour of the birth.
Children born at precisely IL midnight
are supposed to be endowed with &C.
cult powers. So, too, are those born at
the chime hours. e., 3, 6 and y.
The Germans and Russians believe
that when n child Is born in leap year
either it or It's mother will die within
the year.-Pearson's Weekly.
