On Sunday evening Prof. John w.
Prout of Denver. F. A. Woodward of
Boston, and A. E. Norton of London,
arrived in Stafford, their business
being the starting of the work now
under way on the Bonita group of
mines in the Lone Star district. The
gentlemen, in company with r. j.
Young, went to the mines.
Mr.. Luun, who has active charge
at the mines, arrived with several
miners from Globe. Mr.. Lunn left
for the mines Monday with a force
of about 10 miners. Four teams
were also employed to haul the ne
cessary machinery, a car load of
which had previously arrived, con-
sisting of a steam hoist, complete,
also lumber and other necessary sup
plies. Everything necessary for the
working of the mines is being placed
on the ground as rapidly as the teams
can haul it.
Aside from doing the annual as
sessment work on the different claims,
it is the intention of the company to
sink one deep, double compartment
shaft for the development of the
ore bodies. This shaft will be tim
bered as it is sunk. An effort will
also be made to develop water in one
of the washes at the mines.
These people are in real earnest
in their efforts to develop these
mines and from the way they are
starting i'll there is little question
of their success.-Guardian.

BIG GOLD STRIKE AT NEW YORK-ARI-
IONA PROPERTY.
AS reported in the ERA couple of
weeks ago, the New York-Arizona
Gold and Copper company have made
gold strike on the Buzzard Shadow
claim that will be the cause of much
excitement in that district. a num-
Der of Morenci people, who are inter
ested in the company, have visited
the camp and Investigated the eX-
tent of the new strike and in each
case they have returned home con-
WINGED that bonanza has been dis
covered. The Buzzard Shadow has
produced a considerable amount of
rich gold rock. but no strike has ever
given evidence of permanence like
the present one. Tine vein was found
at two feet depth. 1t was about y
inches wide and some handsome gold
bearing rock, running into the thous-
ands, was taken out. Since The dis
covery sinking has been rapidly con-
tinued, until now the shaft is Is feet
deep. Starting with d width of u
inches, the vein has gradually wild
ened until now it is about feet.
The ore is so rich that even y inches
would be big proposition.
The company has been busy sack
ing ore and it is reported that they
have at least $1,000 worth already
sacked. 500 new sacks have been
purchased, which will be filled as
fast as possible. Many people seem
to be of the opinion that the ore
will not last, but present indications
are that it will, and if it does, the
New York-Arizona company will be
one of the best propositions in this
district. Ore in sight guarantees
the company d nice sum on which to
operate in,the future. Work is being
pushed on the Lillian tunnel and it is
reported that d considerable amount
of gold ore, averaging in the neigh
borhood of SIS to the ton, has been
discovered. This, ii the vein re-
mains at 6 feet, will be an excellent
milling proposition. The company
now has an asSayer on the ground
and it is likely that some news will
soon be given out that will astonish
even old residents of Clifton and
Morenci. The ERA is glad to see
the New York-Arizona company adj
vance to the front, as that section of
the Morenci district is deserving of
much more attention than it has re-
ceived during past years. The New
York-Arizona camp has not yet been
closed and those who desire to see for
themselves should take a trip out.

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

AL Bishop and partner, Mr. McDon
aid, who are working a valuable lease
in the Steeple Rock mining district,
and spent the past two weeks in
Clifton looking after a shipment
which they made to the Shannon
smelter, returned to their camp
Tuesday morning. They were well
pleased with returns received from
their shipment and will go to work
with renewed energy. They have a
good proposition and by sorting the
ore will be able to make other ship
ments that will give handsome re-
turns. AL and Nc are both practical
miners and have put in a consider
able amount of hard work on the
property, which they are now work.
ing. Besides gold and silver, they
have several copper locations which
they will introduce just as soon as
the market price looks upward again.
Ambrose Kowastch, a German min
ing engineer and mineralogist of New
York City, arrived in Stafford last
week. He came to report on the
Arichise mining claims, located in
the Lone Star mining district north
of Stafford. The owners of that prop
erty desire to know just what they
have in the Arichise and in order to
find out they sent an expert to ex-
anime the mines. In company with
j. E. Carpenter, manager of the Ari-
chise Mining company, Mr.. KOwastch
went out to the mines and made a
thorough investigation of them. He
is greatly pleased and autographed to
the company that in his opinion d
fine mine can be developed. Mr..
Kowastch visited the other mines in
the Lone Star Mining district and
speaks in glowing terms of what he
found. Mr.. Carpenter says machin-
cry for the development of the Ari-
chise mine will soon be ordered and
development work pushed as rapidly
as possible.-Journal.

A Trip to Steele.


II does one good to get away from
home now and then and visit some
other county OF the state, and partic-
ulally an adjoining section of the Mis-
souri, Slope with which one has been
acquainted for number OF years The
writer visited the capital OF kiddcr
county Il day or two last week. When
Emmons county was without railroads,
people from the northern part OF this
county we're in the habit OF going to
Steele to take the train Now, Steele,
like Bismarck, WAS in those days 4
town that had been overboomed that
had been built up ahead OF what the
populationof the county would Justify.
When Steele was town of numerous
buildings, Wiliamsport, the sister
county seat near bN, had not more
than half dozen houses. The fact
is that neither county WAS far enough
along in settlement TO Justify the
erection Of more than a dozen build
ings or so at the county seat. The re-
suit was that there were many dilap-
dated, nc-to-sced" structures i'm
Steele, and these created worse inn
preston of the country on the part of
strangers than would the absence OF
such buildings entirely, and In their
stead a smaller but neater town. But
this condition has been done away
with. The town is now as up-todatc
as any other on the Missouri Slope.
The old buildings have either been re-
paired or hauled away. Many neat
and commodils residences have been
erected 10y the towns business men.
The place being Older than most viii
lagos in these parts, many large trees
are seen in the door yards. But the
thing of which the people of Steele
are proudcst is the small forest OF
large trees that are found ON both
sides OF the Northern Pacific right-of-
way These were set out, aS We re-
member, more than twenty years ago.
being part of the system that the
railway officers of those days intended

drifts. Miles OF the trees set out AT
| that time were IA failure, owing to
prairie tires on to lack nf care general

and, the trees being right In the town,
could be more easily protected from
destruction by the causes named. AS
a result, the people OF Steele have
\ right at hand what Is really Il beauti-

ton than they are in the Linton neigh

rain up that way.
Steele is "A very pleasant place IN
which to reside being settled by an

tinue to increase in population, there
is good reason for its citizens To have

Animal Thieves of Africa.

The northwestern district of
Rhodesia in particular abounds in
every description of big game-ele-
plant, hippotamus, giraffe, zebra, lion,
buffalo, rhinoceros and antelope, with
other members of the deer family too
numerous to mention. Even from the
railway great herds of game can be
seen and are in some cases quite a
nuisance.
The elephants, for instance, have
some rooted and unaccountable OBJ
jections to the mile pegs by the rail-
way line, and cause endless annoy
ance by their habit of pulling them
out of the ground with their trunks.
The balloons, too being expert
thieves, and even burglars, are a
considerable nuisance, particularly to
storekeepers, of whose goods they
manage to fitch a surprising guam
tity.
Baboon hunting is n very popu-

ant-so abundant, in fact, as to be
dangerous on occasion. No single

nuisance to farmers is the tebi cat,
little tigerish beast which causes
great havoc in unprotected fowl
houses and is ruthlessly killed on
sight.-From the Country Gentleman.
