COMPLETING BIG SHELTER.
Imperial Company is Still Making Ore
 Shipments to Douglas.

Ut looks very much at the present time as if we would be able to blow in our shelter at Sasco before the end of the present month."
 This was the statement made by w. r. Staunton, general manager of the Imperial Copper company at Silverbell. MT. Staunton is also at the head of the Tombstone mines and of the Congress mlne located in the central part of the territory.
 MT. Staunton stated that the I'm perial company is employing between $50 and 400 men in the mines at Sil- verbell and on the smelter work at Sasco.
 From the railroad that runs through Sasco the big shelter there appears to be nearly completed and the ap- pearances are not deceptive for the officials are very confident that they will have the shelter in operation for either a Christmas or a New Years present.
 "We are still making ore shipments from the Silverbeli mines to the smelters at Douglas, but our output is only about one-third of what it was as the smelters decline to take d greater amount of ore at the present time."
 MT. Staunton added that with the completion of the Sasco shelter all of the ores of the company would be treated there. The shelter will have capacity of $50 tons and is so constructed that additions can easily be made to the main plant whenever they may be deemed necessary.
 MT. Staunton stated that it would require more time to complete the big concentrator which the company is erecting at the Silverbell camp and added that the plant would not be completed until some time next year, I-CitiZen.

Butte Cooper Production.

The estimated production of the Butte camp during the month of November was 8,256,OOO pounds of re- fined copper. This compares with an estimated output of 8,376, 200 pounds for October, 11,329, 800 pounds for September and 3, 127 ,24O pounds for August, and is the smallest month s total this year. During the month, the mines of Butte Coalition com pletely suspended production except for slight output in course of devel- opment. Trenton and Parrot have also completely suspended. The mis
 ceilaneous producers have been en- tirely shut out by the refusal of the Washoe shelter to purchase ore. The only other changes of import ance were the practical doubling of Boston & Montana daily copper pro- duction and the resumption of oper- atiOns by Pittsburg So Montana. The November production was but 3l per cent. of the output during Novem- Der, 1908, while for the first eleven months of the year the Butte output shows a decrease from the same period of 1906 of 1O2, ,535, AT pounds or 30 per cent.-BostOn News Bureau.

GENTLEMAN DROPS DEAD.
James Hackett, We'll Known in Southwest
 Dies Suddenly.

James Hackett, one of the well having resided in Arizona and New Mexico for the past thirty-one years, died suddenly at Douglas December f..
 He had just gone in and ordered his dinner at the Waldorf restaurant and was apparently in the best of health. He was taken suddenly with a fainting spell and before medical assistance could reach him he was dead. His friends gathered around him and rubbed his arms and fore head, but all to no purpose. He died within a few minutes after he was stricken down.
 Some years ago he had a stroke of paralysis and has suffered from the effects since. He was buried from the Washington undertaking parlors, the Rev. Simonson preaching the funeral.
 James Hackett, familiarly known as Mustang Jim, was one of the oldest COW punchers in the southwest. He has been connected with all the ranches for many miles around. He was at present working on the Hood ranch north of Douglas, where he went several weeks ago.
 James Hackett was born in Colo. rado, 1872, but came to New Mexico when he was four years old. He has relatives living there now, but it was not known by his friends where they resided, and consequently it was not possible to send them word of his death.
 There are few men who have re sided in this section for the past thirty years who did not know the deceased. He was one of the big hearted men whom to know was tc thoroughly like. He always had a good word for everybody and never failed to help friend.-American.

The GOldfeId Situation.

Judging by the resolution adopted by the Mine Owners Association of Goldfeld on the 3Oth ult., the situ- ation in that camp must be most un- satisfactory. The resolution reads as follows:
 "Resolved, That the mines of the Goldfield district remain closed until the present financial crisis is relieved, or until local labor conditions are settled to the satisfaction of the operators of the district, and until the smelters will treat Goldfield ores at a rate which will warrant the mine owners of this district to re- commence produCtion.'
 This drastic action on the part of the operators is, presumably, oc- casioned by the ore-settlement ruling recently made effective by the American Smelling and Refining company. The Goldfield Chamber ot Commerce has joined the operators, in vigorous opposition of the ore. buying methods of this company, and steps have been taken to secure gov ernment relief.

Difficulty of Getting at the Truth.

It may seem simple matter to who know only little, to determine the cost of a mine's output. And it really would be simple if the matter could be determined by a responsible writer in the way they suppose just ask the shift boss, or the mine boss or the mill or smelter superintendent, or some bright drill-hitter around the mine who lives with. eyes open, and take what any of those fellows state as gospel.
 But those men never know, and your information is W orth no more than if you had asked the man in the moon. It is impossible that they can know closely. Their statement (when they chance to be candid) represent a vague general impression-the gos- sip ot the camp, which like any other gossip is likely to be very wide of the truth. An important part of the duty of every man in a large and we'll organized mining force is to mind his own business.
 But if the general manager is a fly copper man and right "onto his job, 1" and especially if he hires and dis charges the chief accountant at will, he will generally be atle to tell very closely (if he will consent to tell, which commonly he will not) what the cost iS
 The chief accountant is the only one around a mine who can state the cost precisely-and usually he is not able to state the cost for any fiscal year more than approximately until from three to six months after the year has closed. Expenses may be incurred for development or equip ment in any month or quarter or year which properly have to be dis tributed over several future years. The most candid annual report can seldom be made more than approxi- mately correct as to the cost of pro- duction for the year.-By Fritz-Mac.

BRINGS SUIT FOR $265,4l6.
Copper Belle Company Defendant in
 Action Filed at Tucson.

A suit for S265, ,416 alleged to be due on promissory note was filed in the district court against the Copper Belle Mining company.
 The plaintiffs in the suit are the members of the firm of Paine Webber x Company. of Boston, Mass. These members are William A. Paine, N. D. Foster, Thomas s. Dee and Leonard D. Draper.
 It is the allegation of the plaintiffs and the promisory note for the big sum sued for was given by the Cop per Belle company to the firm of Deparquet, Huat & Monense of New York. The petition stated further that this note was transferred to the Paine, Webber 6 Company. 1t is contended that the note became due and was presented for payment but was not met by the defendant. Hon. F. H. Hereford, of Tucson, is named in the petition as the territorial agent for the company.
 From what can be learned the note is one that was given to the New York firm for money advanced to the company and by them transferred to the Boston corporation which is bringing the suit.
 The Copper Belle company owns a large copper mine at Gleason in the Dragoon mountains. In the past few E years it has been extensively engaged in litigation. It has pending at the present time suit in the supreme court of the territory in which Mar tin Costello, the Tombstone million aire seeks to foreclose on the prop ertyf on two mortgages aggregating S8Q,000, Attorney F. M. Hartman represents the company in this action.
 Several years agu the Copper Belle company went into bankruptcy and A. H. Emanuel, of Tombstone, was the receiver. A new company was then organized which took charge of the property and it is this company that is now the defendant in the suit on the big note.
 The property of the company was leased some time, ago to the Shannon Copper company who took a large bond on it. During the time that the mine was worked by the original com- pany, it is stated that ore was taken out, the returns from which aggre- gated nearly Sl,OOO,OOO. The Copper Belle company is composed of New York people.-Citizen

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re- liance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, w. Va, says, "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction" This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to child as to an adult. For sale by all druggists.

Those interests who have been so consistently advising the purchase of Balaklala Copper recently are now having their hands full in explaining their position, the developments of the past few days making pertinent the question-"What was there in it?" Apparently out of clear sky came the sudden break in the price of the stock and with it a collection of rumors that seemed to cover the possibilities in the case-that is ali save one. Whatever the real truth of the matter may be it is evident that there is serious trouble in inside circles and that before the matter is finally settled the company will be reorganized. Who will reorganize it remains to be seen, but at the pres- ent writing it looks as though the owners of the S1, 800, ,OOO Balaklala Consolidated first mortgage bonds would be able to dictate the policy to be adopted.-Ex.

HYdrauIic Minin9.

The subject of hydraulic gold min ing has almost disappeared from pub lie attention since the decline of such mining in California, due to the passage of the Caminetti Act of 1893. This act was passed in the in- terest of the agriCulturists on aC- count of the great amount of debris being carried down into the rivers, thus endangering their navigability and flooding the lands adjacent to the streams. It was claimed that San Francisco Bay was seriously af- fected by this debris, but this claim was probably Overdrawn. The streams were no doubt overburdened with material, and there was some serious loss to the agricultural inter- ests. Since 1893 the strict govern mental inspection of hydraulic prop critics has practically prohibited the carrying on of hydraulic operations, as it is often impossible or imprac- tlcable to build dam large enough to efficiently settle and hold back the coarse and fine materials washed down from the properties. Many of the dams that would be required would cost upwards of a million dol lars, so that only the largest com panies or combinations could possibly stand the heavy expense involved.
 When the Caminetti Act was pass ed, over S1OO,OOO, ,OOO was invested in active hydraulic plants in California and from SlO,OOO,OO0 to Sl5, 1000, ,OOO in gold was the annual production from this source alone. Stopping work in these hydraulic mines was great hardship to the people of California, both directly and indirectly, since many of the mines were small ones which could not raise the capital necessary for building the required dams. The government acted in bad faith in selling lands for hydraulic mining and then prohibiting mining of the same without awarding dam- ages. Only those mines having their watersheds away from the agricul- tural districts could be worked and this restricted operations to North ern California. The districts mainly affected were those the rivers of which carried debris to the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin vallies.-From Mines and Minerals for August.

Wakefield is-NOminated.

Lyman w.. Wakefield, of Tucson, has again been named for receiver of the land office by President Roosevelt and all that is necessary now to make the appointment binding is approval by the senate. As there are no in. dications of any contest, it is alto gether probable that Wakefield will be the receiver of the land office for the next four years which is the length of a term.
 MT. Wakefield received his first ap- pointment to the land office from President Roosevelt. He was named to succeed the late Milton R. Moore, who was also resident of Tucson.
 It was the general report at the time that MT. Wakefield received the nomination for the unexpired term of Register Moore that he would receive a re appointment this winter.
 MT. Wakefield has now taken up his residence in Phoenix and he will make that his home for the next four years, but it is his intention at the expiration of his term of office to again become a resident of Tucson.
 At the same time MT. Wakeield's $ nomination was made President Roosevelt sent in the name ot Frank s. Ingalls, to be surveyor general of the territory.
 MT. Ingalls, is resident of Phoe- nix. He is one of the pioneers of the territory and last year he spent considerable time in Santa Cruz county gathering date for the gen. eral land office op the famous Baca grant controversy.

Large Trumpet Gourd.

w. F. Brown, $50 Goyeau street,
Windsor, has trumpet gourd which
he says. is the largest ever seen in
this part of Canada The vine, which
was planted about the last of May, is
now fifteen feet tall and the gourd it.
self is six feet one inch in length. 1t
is of the long narrow variety grown
in California or tropical regions. The
plant also bears two smaller gourds,
one three feet eight inches and the
other four feet nine inches long. Mr..
Brown has always mad phenomenal
success in the raising of plants, says
the Detroit News, and his good luck
is due to a process known only to
himself and his wife. The gourd seed
was planted by a number of families
about the same time, but Mr..
Browns was the only plant which
grew to anything more than ordinary
size.
