Thomas II Collins, of Calumet,
Mich. and formerly of Bisbee. was in
that city again recently. Mr.. Collins,
in an interview with a Review man,
said that mining interests in the Su-
periOr region were on a boom. that
business was never more active than
now. He further said that the people
of Calumet and other places know more
about Bisbec than the people who are
living in Bisbee.
The Superior copper belt is located
on Keweenaw peninsula and contains
many important mines including the
Calumet & Hecla, Wolverine, Quincy,
Fay Group Mohawk, Copper Range
group. Bigelow. Osceola, Kearsage,
Copper Falls. Isle Royal and others.
These mines are located on a strip of
land about % miles long by two miles

Mining in Santa Cruz County, Great
Activity in Many Mines Tributary to
Patagonia.

Col. Thomas Hughes has returned to
Tucson from q visit Of inspection of
the Mansfield mines. located near
Patagonia. \ reporter of the Star
gathered the following interesting items
on mining from Col Hughes.
The town Of Patagonia, Santa Cruz
county. is now the center Of much min
ing activity. Many good properties are
being opened and ore shipments are
now heavy and constantly increasing.
\ few of the principal ones are the
following: ss%
The Happy Jack Mining company.
W. II. Barnett, superintendent They
have extensive work done on their
property. The main work consists of
a tunnel 900 feet, that upon completion
will open up the ore body for more than
1000 feet in depth. ore shipments are
continuous and of high grade. About
400 sacks is now at the station await
ing cars. The Happy Jack is proving
to be a splendid property and is under
good management
The Pride of the West" in Wash
ington camp is also making ore ship
ments. The station platform is piled
high with sacks Of ore from this mine.
The Old Mowry mine is also making
large shipments of bullion. Two large
1S-horse teams are engaged in freight
ing coke to the mines and returning
loaded with lead and silver bullion.
The Alta mine. about twelve miles
northwest Of Patagonia, is shipping car

An III. man found out how to make
Postum so it tasted as good to him as

JEROME AND VICINITY.
Rain, Snow, and Fuel Shortage Hand
icapping Operations.

Not in years has mining in the Je-
rome-Nerde district been carried on in
the face Of more difficulties than at the
present time. Heavy rain and snow
falls have all but made the mountain
trails impossible of travel. and the car
Iying of supplies into the mountains
has been almost shut off. The mines
that have not been using wood for fuel
are having the most trouble. some, no.
tably the Black Hills. have had To re-
sort to the use Of coal in order to keep
development work up. The coal was
packed in from Jerome on burrOs.
However, there are now indications
that there will be a break in the bad
weather. and as it only takes the Ari-
iona sun a few days to put the noun
tain trails back into commission, the
prospecting companies will undoubtedly
be doing business as usual within the
next few days.
Superintendent Hendley. of the Cop
Der Chief. has started work again on
that property and is putting the work
ings in good shape as rapidly as posi-
be so that a large number of men may
DE put at work to advantage. Like all
companies doing work in this district
the Copper Chief is finding il difficult
to get miners, and especially timber
men.

employed frequently to go back to the
school where he was taught manual

No wonder the audience applauded
the story and the moral Today IN
many cities if a poor boy wants to
learn a trade free Ct charge ne must
go to prison or reform school. In
many cities and towns there are no
manual training schools and IN the
country districts almost none.
We are just beginning to understand
what that German, Froebel, and that

ago: You must educate the hand and
eve and muscles along with the mind.
The body and the mind are Siamese
twins. You cannot educate the one
without educating the other. Play is
the only thing human being does
enthusiastically. Congenial work is
play. That play may lie with foot
ball, or with the tools that fit the hand,
or it may be the game of business.
Rich men go on getting money after
they have millions. Why? For the
sake Of the game
In the school room give the boy and
girl the kind of work boys and girls
ike to do. 1t will be play for them.
That is the natural way to educate.
The word comes from educare draw

ties by congenial employment. Do not
make the school a place of monotonous
drudgery.

boy, wanted to leave school because he
