THE ELlzAsETH

Con VasgreeD, who mas been associ- ated from the beginning with Harry Loeyin in the EliZabeLn properties in the celebrated Monte Visto distrlcc. is in the city and will remain until the weather settles.
 Altogether there has been i25 feet of good work done on the Elizabeth properties. It is all level work anu includes important drifts on the ore bodies.
 They have cut two ore bodies, each approximately twenty feet in width and on one h1r. Vasgreen has drifted about 125 feet in bIacH manganese and other honest low grade va:ues all the way.
 Now, the Elizabeth people have managed to gather in a promising property in the Tabotacachi. The ob- iect in this is to mix a nice low grade article with one that is high, and realize immediate returns as the re- suit of consolidation. On the Tabo- tacachi a body of four-foot ore $ available for shipping, running .nto the hundreds in silver.

Santa Rosa Mine.-While it Is not possible to obtain definite information there is an impression around Doug las that there is likelihood of a re- newal of negotiations for the Santa Rosa mine south of Douglas. It is known that parties representing the Bonanza Circle interests have recent ly taken up an immense amount of ground in the vicinity of the Santa Rosa. These same people had an op- tion on the Santa Rosa recently, but allowed it to lapse. However, they have shown faith in the district since by denouncing nearby ground and as the Santa Rosa has already been par tially opened up and yielded consid- erable ore it is very probable that ne-

FINAL COUNTY MINES.

We learned from a miner this week that the people who now have the old Queen mine at Superior, under bond and lease, have taken a carload of copper glance (chalcocite) from the old 300-foot level, that it is phenome- nally rich in silver as well as cop per. He states that this carload of ore will yield S50.00O, and that the mine contains, beside a large amount of ore of this character, a large body of very high grade carbonate of cop per, much of which will run over 35 per cent in the red metal
 The old Pioneer district is certainly maintaing its record for mines of mar yeious richness. The old Silver King mine dazzled the eyes of mining men with it's output of massive native sill yer and the old Queen now bids fair to eqHal the old king as a producer of metallic riches as does also the Su- perior and several other mines now undergoing development in that vii cinity. Yet only a small per cent of the treasure vaults of the old Pioneer district have been unsealed. Within a few years from now a hunderd great mines will be in operation in this rich district. It may be correctly said that real prospect work has just be- gun in this prolific field of mineral wealth. ...... . E-

idly than she is increasing he-
for the leaders in
agricultural thought and practice
of this section fully appreciate
the enormous loss we are sustain
ing by poor methods of cultiva-
tion and fertilization, by the
waste of energy resulting from
the lack of sufficient horsepower
and improved agricultural ma
chinery and by the use of ill-se-
lected end poorly-bred seed.
With these difficulties overcome e,
in my opinion, the cotton crop of
the South can be doubled in the
next,ten years without the addition
of a 4single laborer and without
the addition ef a single acre to
the amount planted this present
season.-Southern Farm Maga.

To Mold Three Story Houses in Il Hours.

1t appears that Thomas
Edison has been interesting HIM
self lately in an improved pattern
of the concrete house, and he an
nounces that he can build three
story residence in 12 hours, at a
cost of $1,000. Mr.. Ed;son's
house will consist of concrete, and
will be cast from iron molds in
one solid piece, including stairs
and bathtub. It will be fire
proof and indestructible, and
from one set of molds an infinite
number of exactly Identical
houses can be made. This will
not be at the expense Of art, for
the inventor declares that there
is no reason why concrete houses
shouldn't be as pretty as any
other kind. The plan is simple
enough as he describes it. "After
the cellars dug" says he, "the
contractor will bring his sand,
cement and crushed stone, to-
gether with his concrete mixing
machinery and molds, derrick,
to the spot. AS fast as the con-
crete is made it is poured into the
molds, which fit together from
cellar bottom to roof tree. The
workmen keep on pouring in the
concrete until it overflows at the
top. Then they 60 away, and six
days later they 60 back and take
off the molds piece by piece

HOW The DISTiLLER DODGES TAXES,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capsrs
Makes a Statement.

Makes a Statement.
''For every gallon of whiske,
upon which the government col
lects revenue the distillers in SOM
places are making from two t,
three gallons" is the statement O.
Captain John G. Capers, commits
sioner of internal revenue
"There is no way by which fraut
can go on at any of the govern
ment distiller1es except by direct
collusion of the gauger and store
keeper with the distiller. Ane
this col]usion has been going OF
in nearly every State to some ex
tent, though most notably in Vir
ginis. There, OH account Of &
number of stills having been NOV
ed there from North Carolina, rur
out by the Watts law, there are
more distilleries than the agents
have been able to look after.
Gin most of the cases where
makers of whiskey have been
cheating the government out of
the revenue tax, it has been done
by running a small blockade still,
but this situation in Virginia is a
peculiar one. There the distiller
has got the gauger in with him
and is making anywhere from four
to five hundred gallons a day,
upon which he is paying no tax.
The way they do this is 50 simple
that it is exceedingly difficult to
detect them, because the in
spector has to be on the spot at
the very moment the distiller sub
stitutes a private barrel for the
one which the gauger is required
to use. The gauger is required by
law to stand at the spout through
which every drop of distilled
spirits must come, and as soon as
one barrel IS filled he must roll
that barrel away into his ware
house, which is built as to pre-
vent anything's being taken
out without the knowledge of the
gauger. Then ne must put under
the spout another barrel. Every
pound of grain the distiller pur-
chases must be accounted for in
the quantity of spirits distilled and
gauged, but there is margin of
20 per cent that is, the distilled
spirits gauged must be 80 per cent.
of the maximum amount which
that kind of grain can produce.
After this 80 per cent. has been
gauged by the gauger, the custom
has grown up in some localities
for the gauger then to look all
other way or take walk, during
which time the distiller puts
under the spout another barrel
and after filling it rolls it down
the hill.
This is the most common way fer
the government to be defrauded
of the revenue, although there are
other devices, all of which, how
ever, must be with the collusion
of the government gauger. This
official may not always be a will
ling party to the fraud. The dis.
tiller making large amount of
money by it is able to pay fair
amount to the one who allows
him to do it, but he generally is
able to do it by intimidatlng the
fellow, and threatening to shut
down his still and throw him out
of a job if he does not look the
other way or take that walk"
