MINING NOTES
Pertaining to CIiftOn-MOrenci Dis
 trict and Surrounding Camps.

In the recorders office at Tomb stone there was filed last week a mortgage on the Copper Bell Mining Company's property in favor ot the Shannon Copper company tor the sum of $50, 900. In the case of Costello vs. The Copper Bell Mining company, the latter on appealing the case to the supreme court had to furnish a supersedeas bond in the sum of S50,- GOO. The Shannon Copper company got w. H. Brophy and E. B. Mason to furnish the bond, and now in order to protect itself demands and receives a mortgage on the property to secure securities. This is the second mort gage of the same kind to be made, and includes all the property and ma chinery of the Copper Bell, which is being operated under a lease and op- tion by the Shannon people.
 Archie Morrison and Wm. Hoff, who are interested in the Standard Cop per company at Metcalf, visited the mines last Sunday on an inspection trip. They were well pleased with the property and report that con- sidera ble amount of development work has been done on the properties during recent months. The old Stan dard claim, which has produced much high grade ore is looking well, and an extremely good showing has been made in the Copper Center shaft, which has gained q depth of about 200 feet The Standard Consolidated is one ot the small companies in this district that has operated a number of years and passed through several low copper markets, hence the pres ent slump will only effect it tempo rarily.
 M. z. Elliott in company with Sen- ator Stephen w. Dorsey, both of whom are interested in the promo tion of the various mining claims bonded some time ago on behalf ot the Arizona Amalgamated company arrived in Clifton this week on min ing business. Both gentlemen are di rect from Los Angeles. The ERA i: informed that the AmalgamateC company has been reorganized anC the capital stock reduced consider ably, with vast changes in the per sonnel of the people behind the com pany. The name of the company i' The Copper Company of Arizona Mir. Dorsey is now making arrange ments to secure exteutions of tune or payments and is meeting with success in almost every instance Amons the claims in the pool are some of th' best Tn the Clifton-Morenci distric and no doubt the completion of pres ent plans will mean a great deal 10 the district. The claim holders in terested in the transaction can Ger tainly lose nothing by tieing up for short period in the probable sale O
 their property. A considerabl' amount of money was expended b. the Amalgamated company and sev eral thousand dollars were expende' in development work on some of tn claims in the pool. Messrs. Elliott Dorsey will be here several days, at : ter which MT. Dorsey will depart flo New York.

The tunnel is nov being squared up and d track will bt laid, which will enhance the advance ment of work at that point. Or' ! has been encountered in the Lillian tunnel which carries gold value
 ranging from SlO to S20, making it ; very desirable ore for milling pur poses. The tunnel is in about 5O feet and the vein is being followed A considerable amount of develop ment work in the way of tunnelin! and sinking, is being done all ove

Deafness Cannot b. Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the disease dportion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The average man cannot afford to
employ physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect

man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments. Sue
cess often depends upon prompt treat
ment which can only he had when
suitable medicines are kept at hand.

The registry system, he said, came

the money order business came at the
close Of the civil war. Last year the
New York Office did money order

The free delivery service, Mr.. Will

rlers In all the cities, while New York
alone now has four times as many,
and there are now 22965 city carriers
and 35,766 rural free delivery routes,
which have been a steady reduction Of
the annual deficit, and Mr.. Wilcox
thought the time was now coming for
considering the demands for the postal
service widening its scope.
But" he said, at is the safest line
Of government policy to develop the

has embarked. Let US have free de-

These improvements worked out,
Mr.. Wilcox believed the parcels post
system would come, with the use of
government telegraph wires for the
transmission of electric letters and
postal savings banks, especially for the
localities not provided with convenient
and safe Repositories.
The emergence Of the postal depart
ment from the days of the spoils sys-
tenn and the close approximation of re-.
ceipts to expenditures, Mr.. Wilcox
believed, was Fastening the day of the
extension of the usefulness of the de-
partment along these lines.
