Old Dominion.

Comprehensive plans for the en-
largement of the company's surface
works are engaging the attention of
the local management without in the
least impairing the operation and de-
velopment of its mines. The struct-
smelter building, delayed by the con-
gestion of freight on the Rock Island
railroad, has been located and its de-
livery is promised at an early date.
Construction will then proceed rapid
ly and should be in operation by
July l.
The plans include the installation
of still another furnace, construction
of an additional dust chamber and
the erection of another stack 200
feet high and having double the ca
pacity of the present stack. These
and other contemplated enlarge
ments will require the remainder of
the year for their completion.
OF Importance in this, connection
is the enlargement of the smelter
ore bins, to be undertaken at once.
The capacity of the bins, now 5000
tons, is to be increased to 1900 tons
by an extension seventy-two feet in
length. Sixteen new automatic
charge scales will be added, so as to
load six charge cars at one time in
stead of three cars, as now loaded.
The smelter has been running at
its full capacity, with four furnaces
in blast, since the first of May, and
the output of copper has averaged
better than fifty tons per day, which
means production for the month of
more than 100000 pounds, barring
any interruption to smelling. Re-
Ceipts of coke have increased and
reserve is being slowly accumulated.
The company has an enormous
amount of supplies in transit, ship
ments aggregating 1000 cars, of which
1900 cars are coke
The Old Dominion mine is furnish
ing a steady output of ore. The
Continental is contributing high
grade sulphide and the United Globe,
Gibson Custom ores are still being
purchased and Arizona Commercial
are making regular shipments, most
ly sulphIdes, and what is not sold to
outside smelters is stored. The ore
supply promises to exceed the ca
pacity of the smelter even after the
two new furnaces have been INSTALL
ed, as important ore bodies will be
opened up within the next few
months.-Belt.

ANACONDA ONCE SOLD AT 500.
Clark Paid But Sixty Thousand Dollars
For the Great United Verde.

Writing of early conditions in the
now famous Butte mining camps a
well posted Montana man declares in
McDowell's Magazine:
The famous Anaconda was once
thrown up by Mr.. Daily for 500. He
afterwards bought two-thirds inter-
est for $4,000, having acquired one
third for doing about $500 worth of
work for patenting mine.
The ST. Lawrence mine, adjoining
the Anaconda, was sold for $50, and
many millions have been taken out
since.
The Mountain View (the present
Boston-Montana) was located after
the Anaconda was acquired and Mr..
Daily used to laugh at the idea of
taking that ground up for mineral
purposes, claiming that it would
make fine COW pasture if it did not
cost too much to fence it. The
Mountain View, after being some
what developed. sold for S2,0O0,0 900
and was the beginning of the great
Boston-Montana Copper company,
which has paid about. $50, 100000 divi-
dends and had property valued at a
hundred millions.
Senator Clark sold the Colusa, one
of the famous mines, in 1883 for $780,
600, afterwards going to Arizona,
where he bought the United Verde,
for which he paid in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
Most of the properties comprising
the North Butte were examined and
turned down by the best experts if
teen years ago as worthless and after
the former owners had, as they
thought, practically worked out the
Speculator mine, it was sold to the
North Butte people for $5,0OO,000,
that being a piece of ground about
400 feet square, proving that the
Michigan people, upon the judgment
of Captain Hoatson, nave made two
magnificent successes, namely Calu-
met & Arizona and North Butte.
The area so far developed in Butte
is about two miles square, and that
has produced nearly $1,000, OOO, 900.
Ten thousand men are employed in
the mines, receiving over $4,000, 900
year wages.
The total depth of all of the shafts
in that district, if driven on end
would make hole in the earth about
forty miles deep. Crosscuts and tun-
nels are nearly 1000 miles in length.
Colonel Greene, upon seeing the ore
in the wonderful lodges said that for
the showing this district had hardly
been scratched. The deepest shaft
is probably that of the Anaconda,
which is down $500 feet, and. the in
creasing in size and richness of ore
bodies. only goes to show that the
values get better as depth is attain
ed. If this is so, there is no reason
why Butte should not produce an
other billion of dollars in the next
1000 feet.

The people of Thatcher we're
stirred to profound depth of sadness
last Saturday, when the announce
ment went forth that Mrs. Belle
Tenney had ended her life. The
lady's little daughter, Ruth, heard
means in her mothers bed room at
about 7:30 a. m. and going in found
Mrs. Tenney lying on the bed in an
unconscious condition. The children
ran screaming for help and number
of neighbors Immediately went to
the house. They perceived that
Mrs. Tenney's condition indicated
poison and did everything possible
toward applying antidotes. J. w.
Wilkins drove to Stafford in all haste
for DR.. Plat, but when the physician
arrived the lady was dead. A bottle
of strychnine was found in the bed
from which about fifteen grains had
been extracted, and it is presumed
the deceased swallowed this amount
with suicidal intent. Mrs. Tenney
had been i'll and mentally unbalanced
off and on for twenty years, and it
had been feared she would sooner or
later attempt to end her life, as she
threatened, and efforts had been
frequently taken to prevent such an
event. A consultation was held by
three physicians, at the request of
her husband, some months ago, as to
Mrs. Tenney's mental condition, and
they decided that as she exhibited no
signs of violence, it was unnecessary
to send her to the asylum. However,
she was oftentimes out of her mind,
and was carefully attended during
these periods by her relatives and
friends. Her husband was absent in
Metcalf on business, is wife having
been somewhat improved lately, but
on Friday she felt much depressed
and her mind was much unbalanced.
The insanity attacked her at inter-
walls and it was during one of these
spells that she took poison Saturday
morning .-Guardian.

One of the most blood-curdling
episodes that has ever happened in
this section of the country occurred
one night last week when E. I. Gray,
carpenter aged about thirty years
of age and a recent arrival in the
city, suddenly became a raving
maniac while standing at the bar of
the Caye saloon and attempted to cut
his throat with a pocket knife. In
the effort to prevent him from COM
hitting the deed, Fred Higher, the
night bartender, was severely cut in
the side and back while several 9TH
ers were chased and narrowly escaped
falling victims to the madman's
knife. His maniacal career came to
an end at the Club House saloon
across the street into which he had
run in his delirium. He had one of
the men IN the saloon Cornered and
was making attempts to stab him
when bystander seeing his perilous
the maniac through the head killing
him instantly. A coroner's jury was
summoned by Justice J. Crowley, of
Central. during the absence of JUS
tice Newcomb, and after viewing the
remains and hearing the evidence in
the case, rendered decision that de-
ceased came to his death from self
inflicted wounds and from a gunshot
wound inflicted by gun in the hands

The occurrence of several explo-
sions in coal mines recently, the
cause of which could not be deter
mined, makes pertinent a careful
consideration of the causes which
lead up to explosive conditions in
mines. The most common causes of
explosive conditions which may be d
source of danger are: An insufficient
ventilating current. A arrangement
of an ordinarily sufficient ventilating
current. A sudden increase in the
volume of marsh gas due to out
bursts, falls of roof, the opening of
strong feeders, or a sudden fall of
barometric pressure. The presence
of coal dust in the air due to the
ordinary working of the mine, to
blown-out shot, etc. Accummula-
tions of carbon monoxide due to too
rapid succession shot firing in close
workings. The accidental discharge
of an explosive in an atmosphere
containing an otherwise harmless
percentage, of gas and considerable
amount of dust. Pressure due to a
heavy blast, or any conclusion of the
air caused by the sudden closing of
doors, etc, Any one of the above
causes or any comb alton of them
may precipitate an explosion at any
moment.-Mines and Minerals for

Want Two Railroads Instead of One.

1t is rumored that Hartman is
making strenuous efforts to purchase
the Ell Paso & Southwestern system,
and he is said to have threatened to
parallel the road in the event that
Phelps, Dodge and company refuse to
sell it. Hartman finds that he needs
the Southwestern in his business
And no wonder. No section of the
west has prospered more than Co.
chise county and southeastern Ari-
IONA during the past five years, but
during this time the S. P. has been
Southwestern do the enormous and
lucrative business of this section.
Furthermore, the Southwestern has
by far the easiest grade across the
continental divide and can operate
more cheaply and make better time
between Ell Paso and Benson than
the S. P. But when it comes to get
ting control of the Southwestern,
that is another matter. Phelps,
Dodge company built the Southwest
cIu IOT CASH duu CdQ raise UOT6 Cash
today than the S. P, it is said. And
their outlet to Chicago via the Rock
Island makes them independent up to
the present time. Hence it is not
easy to force the Southwestern, and
undoubtedly the Rock Island would
have to be reckoned with.
1t is to be hoped that the South
western will not sell. We want the
two roads instead of only one. There
will be plenty of business for two.
The general public would profit by
such competition-rates and service
would both be better, and no railroad
evils could long exist.
Have Douglas and Bisbee any pro
gressive spirit? Why not make a
concerted effort to induce the South
ern Pacific to build to those cities?
Now is the time; and it's now or
never, too. For everything goes to
show that the S. P. is getting busy,
and it is impossible to say what the
future may bring forth. The South
western at present has the whip
hand in southeastern Arizona, but
how about Sonora? Paradise Record.
