DULUTH, Minn.. April 5.-While the copper mines in Arizona, Colorado and Alaska have been creating such excitement in Duluth and other cities in this country, not many people real ize that there is a mine In Spain which has been turning out copper for more than 5000 years.
 Robert Bowling, of London, Eng land. arrived in Duluth to visit his cousin, Henry Nesbit and his aunt, Mrs. Louise Nesbit., after having been superintendent of this mine for seventeen years. He is also min eral expert. but says he has no cop per shares to dispose Of He was compelled to leave the Spanish min ing country for the benefit of his health and as the sulphur fumes were affecting his eyes. He expects to To- cate in America, but just at present is taking a vacation and resting in Duluth.

ST. LOUIS PAPER FILLS LONG
 FELT WANT
The "GrowIer" Editor Confides Office Secrets to His Patrons
 Editorial Board Comprised of Suspicious Characters.

"The Growler" is the name of a new paper which recently made it's first appearance in the city of St. Louis. The Growler'' is a chronicle devoted to the exploitation of Hectic News, Served with Other Things on Demand of the Alumni of Amherst in and around St. Louis. The pare's motto is We Scream or Not at all"
 We take the liberty of reprinting an editorial from the latter which will make it's own appeal:
 "ApoIoeium Editoriale."
 "A cuneiform inscription recently unearthed, contained the following leg end, Women are sometimes born with Homely Faces, but no man wears Whiskers unless he wants to-" The Growler' is the Antonym of Whiskers. No one, not even the would-be Sui. eide, becomes an Editor from choice. Rolling mills, circular saws and pass. ing trains offer too many Comfortable Methods of Soul Extraction. Editors are like fieas-all right save in their Official Capacity. Everything that they say of interest is discovered to have been said before by Anaxagoras, Mark Twain or Lydia Pinkham.
 "The Editorial Board of this Periodi- cal is composed of Suspicious Charact- CTS, and nobody is eligible who does not Travel under an Alias. Our Edi- torial Visage, behind it's glasses. re- sembles Old Docs Reception Front to a chapel Overcoat. Our Functions are mainly those of Suppression and Ex purgation.

 This Publication is printed once year on Both Sides of the Paper in the Interests of Truth. Editorially it aims at the Spread of Higher Culture and the Levelling of Caste. Its Poli- tics are determined by the Dominant Party and the Open Hand.

latter in less than sixty seconds had run down stairs and stopped the ma chinery.
 With some difficulty Vaults hand was extricated and within fifteen min utes he was at the office of Dr. Wylie where surgical attention was given. Three fingers were SO mutilated that they had to be amputated. Viaults thumb escaped injury, although the in dex finger was partly crushed. The other three fingers were severed at the joint.
 On account of the small place be- tween the rolls Viault's hand could not be drawn in, which probably saved him from the loss of his arm. When relieved from his trying position he suffered terribly until Dr. Wylie was | reached and given relief. But the thumb and part of the in- dex finger remain on Viault's left hand crippling him for life.

TALKS IF RAILROADS
 IN SONORA
Says There Is No Truth In Story That Southern Pacific Inter eStS Would Absorb Greene'S Sierra Madre Line.

Information o{ much importance to Csuanea and Sonora generally, psrtic- uiariy the down-river country, was giy- en in an interview st Cananes last week by Colonel Epes Randolph.
 The survey for the extension of the c. R. Y. and P. from Cananea to Imuris," said MF. Randolph, 'is near ing completion. Just as soon as it is finished building of the road will com mence. It is to be put through and trains operated over 1t just as soon as posSi- ble came down on this trip with the expectation of going over tre route but the sever weather that has developed and the fact that the engi- neer in charge of the survey has been prevented from meeting me as We had arranged will deter the anticipated inspection.
 'T am just back from trip over the line from Guaymas to the Yaqui riv- CT and the branch to Alamos. Track was down for a distance of five miles beyond Buena Vista, up the river, and we will be into Cumuripa within two weeks The worst of the heavy work necessary. between Buena Vista and Cumuripa, has been disposed of and work can now be crowded along with more rapidity. We should be into Tovichi during the year On the line to Alamos work is going ahead rapidly. Track is down to Navajoa on the Mayo river. Navajao is fifteen leagues this side of Alamos. At the present rate of progress trains will be operating to the latter point by the first of July. Steel girders and other bridge ma terials are going forward rapidly and are now all assembled at Nayajao, ready to be thrown across the river"
 In response to query as to whether the road coming up the Yaqui river would touch Cumpas and then come on from there into Cananea by way of connection with the Cananea line to Imuris at Corospsra, MT. Randolph said:
 "The line up the Yaqu river will come to Cumpas and will continue to point Of connection, somewhere near Douglas with the extension which Colonel W. c. Greene will build from his Sierra Nadre lines to the Sonora side of the mountains. The connection with the Greene extension will con meet with an extension of the c. R. r.. and P. from Cananea which will en- able direct transportation of passen- gers and freight from Csnanea to the Greene Sierra Madre lines and camps 1 in Sonora and Chihuahua"
 Regarding recent newspaper reports to the effect that the Greene Sierra Madre lines are to be taken over by the Southern Pacific interests, Mir. Randolph said that there was DO truth , in the stories so far as he was ad' vised. That be would know about any such deal if it were underway, goes
 without the saying

WEEKLY RESUME IF CANANEA
 DISTRICT
Colonel Greene Visits Camp and Spends Several Very Busy Days-Working Shines From-the Concentration

No week passes in Cananea district without its encouraging features and Rs showing of headway made along all lines. The last week was one of particularly favorable character in this respect, says the Cananea Herald. Discovery of blacK suIpnides in i'm pDrtant extent in the drift of the Can anea- Bisbee on the 150 level and dis eoveSes of ore of similar character in drifts of the Calumet and Sonora and South Cananea lent considerable aid to enthusiasm entertained regarding the extent of the mineral zone of the camp and its trend uninterrupted to the south. At the mines of the Greene-Cananea development has continued with at. tendance both in the Consolidated and the Central workings of more and more ore. Greene workings can be said to be in excellent shape through out. They are outputting strong and steady and it will not Joe long until they will make decided additions of rich ore from properties which have been opening up in the strongest kind of ground. notably the Vetas g and 10.
 Manager Cole of the Greene returned yesterday from his trip to Hermosillo and General Superintendent Ricketts of Greene-Cananea is expected back within a day or two from his visit to Duluth. where he had a conference with Thomas F. Cole It is presumed that at this meeting Dr. Ricketts placed before Mir. Cole the study he has made of conditions here and such recommendations for future steps as he may have subsequently determined upon. The meeting is altogether likely to have been fruitful of highly import. ant conclusions in regard to the needs of the company in Cananea. This will doubtless develop in activities direct. ed by Dr. Ricketts following his re- turn
 Last week the Herald noted a mum, Der Of improvements made in various departments of the camp to the end of economy and told of other steps in contemplation having the same Ob iect. This week there may be noted the fact that at the concentrator prepa rations are about completed for giv. ing thorough test to a new process for working over the tailings of the plant which gives every promise of re. sulting in attainment of entire sue cess Should it do so the company will make gain of returns of several thousand dollars daily from shines the vslues in which are now lost For the purpose of testing the new process ten-ton experimental plant has been erected at the concenfratoz to demonstrate it's values.
