Louis Ferber, who is promoting the
Clifton Gold and Copper company,
states that he has added another
shift to the force working on the
Oregon shaft. The shaft is-now well
timbered to the third set and the
grade of the ore and width of the
vein appear to be improving. The
100000 shares of stock, which were
placed on sale at so cents for devel-
opment work is being placed and
when it Is all sold the management
of the company is of the opinion that
enough work will have been done to
develop a good body of sulphide ore.
The Oregon has an ideal location and
Manager Rosecrans thinks she will
produce some good ore when depth
is obtained. Considerable work is
also being done on the gold claims, on
which chances are good for an i'm
portant strike almost any day. Some
handsome gold ore has been extract
ed from claims in that immediate

PROGRESS OF MINING IN
 THE VICINITY OF BIsBEE

The Bisbee Miner gives the following review of mining in that district:
 During the past week little of inter est has occurred around the local mines, but two features of note being appar- ent, the striking of large body of sul- phide ore of a good commercial grade on the 900 level at the Shattuck in which work has been progressing for the past two days with no sign of the amount of ore diminishing This ore is of good commercial grade, averag- ing about six per cent. The other feat ure is the shipment of the first ear of ore from the Modern property west of this city to the smelters at Douglas. This ore was not obtained from the shaft, it is stated, but was taken from surface lead near the main shaft. An other feature of the week was the start on the erection of the steel work for the large machine shops for the c. & A. and $. P. companies. This work is pro gressing we'll and,a large portion of the steel girders for the first story are in place. Work on the framework of the second story will commence soon, after which the sheet iron outside coating will be put in place.

THE LUMBER INDUSTRY
 OF GRAHAM COUNTY ACTIVE

In no other country of same area and population as Arizona can there be found so great diversity of climate, legitimate occupation and novel indus trial projects. Here is one not widely advertised, that probably stands alone in it's class, being the uniting of the lumber business and that of farming by irrigation. The following is from the Graham County Guardian, published in Stafford in the fertile and irrigable val ley of the upper Gila, the numbering project being on Mount Graham, few miles away.
 J. R. Walker of the Mount Graham Lumber company visited the mill and Hume of that company on Mount Ora ham this week and reports work pro gressing there in very satisfactory manner. The Hume is now completed threefourths of q mile in,length, which comprises the most difficult portion of the work. A great deal of high trestle work has so far been necessary, which IS very slow and expensive. The trestle when completed will be about seven miles in length and it is estimated that the first two miles will cost as much and require as much time as the sue

ceeding five, as the upper part of the Hume is built along steep ground. The Hume when finished will reach to Clutf 's ranch, down in the valley, and the haul from it's mouth to the railroad will be almost level. It is not expected to complete the work entirely until next spring. Whatever lumber is required for the Hume is being fioated down the part completed and the portion now in use works like charm. There is am pie water at the mill to supply the Hume almost the entire year.
 An industrial outgrowth of the build ing of the Hume is the cultivation of vast tract of land near its mouth. The company owns seven hundred acres of land in that region and had one hun 'dred acres under cultivation last year. As soon as the Hume is finished the wa ter flowing down it will be used for irrigation purposes and will supply a large tract of land.
 The company is putting in a new sawmill, the machinery for which is being hauled to the mountains this week. It comprises all equipment nee essary for a mill that will turn out forty thousand feet of lumber daily. A large boiler and engine will also be installed. The old mill is saving just enough lumber to supply the needs of the builders in the Hume.
 "We find it very difficult to obtain workmen, said Mir. Walker. 'Our res idents in the valley are all so busy har- vesting that they cannot leave their farms, and although we pay high wages and take good care of our men, it is almost impossible to obtain assistance However, the work is progressing stead fly, and when completed the Hume will be very useful piece of property. Ii is our intention to try to supply the mining camps with a large portion of their lumber as soon as our facilities are in readiness.

At the c. & A. shafts work is being pushed along legitimate lines with a good force at work at every shaft of the company. No sensational ore strikes
 have been made during the week, al though the average output has been maintained. On the surface around the workings of the s. & P. company the new machine shop is the most inter- estin item. At the Junction prepara- tions are being made to put in the bat tery of relay pumps between the 1900 and the 1000 foot level where the main pumping station is.

male offender against the conditions of good order and military discipline may
 in that case show herself to be. But there his authority ends. Jealous off cers of foreign services have been known to carry their zeal very far. There is story of an 9merican officer who invited zealous member of the German general staff to dine with him in one of our forts antiquated by two -or three generations (we believe it was Fort Hamilton), and, missing his guest at the sallyport, only to discover him. hanging back to sketch that defense with nasty pencil on his shirt cuff. "You too delightful ass, remarked the American, "come inside and I II give you photograph. !"
 The London Times remarked on the incident of San Diego, and justly ob- serves that if the Notifications of that port amount to anything, it would be very odd if the Japanese intelligence department had not full information about them already, and plausibly sug gests that the offending Japanese can not have been official observers, but must have been "patriotic amateurs. That is doubtless the fact. It may equally to the fact that we do not desire Japanese "patriotic amateurs as what MT. Dooley describes as "com- bination cooks and theological stu dents,," in our fortresses, nor yet as cabin boys on our men of war.
 But we are in great danger of over doing it. In fact, we have already much overdone it. We read that Jap anese has been "taken into custody" at the encampment of the Texas state militia, accused of taking photographs of the batteries in action and other features of the camp" Suppose he was. If the camp had been near New York or Chicago, and had promised fea- lures for the illustrated Sunday papers, twenty kodaks would have been leveled at everything in the camp in which the kodaker discerned potentialities of pop ular interest. If these pictures had seemed presentable to the editor, they would have straightway appeared for the information of whom they might concern, and incidentally of the mikado But because it happened to be Jap anese who shot this particular kodak he has been ''taken into custody" and it is declared that he .is being held pending an investigation by the state and federal military authorities" an investigation which cannot possibly re- suit in showing that the inquisitive Jap has been guilty of any offense what soever. Does anybody imagine that our military secrets can be surprised by watching an encampment of Texas mili- tia, to which the public is cordially in- vited, or that in any case, Texas lies open, except by way of the Sunset Linn tied, to the Asiatic invaderi This is really surpassing stiffness on the part of whatever military authority is for it.

Work is proceeding along the same lines of conservative development which has been carried on by the man. agement since the beginning. Nothing new has turned up since last week and there is nothing in prospect at present. The principle trouble experienced by the company is the nature of the ground in which they are working. This is a quartz formation carrying small per centage of gold. Up to this time no assay of the rock has gone under $2 in this metal.

needed at that point. To the Douglas shelter of the Copper Queen about an equal amount is sent, making the total daily shipment something like 400 tons. Underground while nothing new has oc- cured outside of the 900 strike, the 700 and 800 levels are said to be locking well and producing regularly a good part of the ore shipped, On the sur face the new compressor building has been well started and it is expected that it will be completed entirely by the middle of next week.

When some Japanese were caught the other day taking photographs of the Qualifications of San Diego, they were treated with all tho severity the law allows, which, it seems, is none at all.

The Prescott Journal Miner states that it learns from reliable sourse that David s. Rose of Milwaukee, Wis. has taken over, under bond, the McDermott group of mines, in the Big Bug district. The deal is the result of visit to the property about month ago, in which he made thorough examination of the ground, which satisfied him that the property, although yet in the prospect stage, will prove, with development, a meritorious one.
 Work will be commenced at an early date, under the direction of D. N. Jen- kyns, superintendent. The plan of de- velopment has not yet been made pub lie, but it is known to include the sink ing of shaft to depth of many hun dred feet and the equipment of the property with a hoisting plant and other modern mining machinery.
 The principal development, at pres ent, consists of two shafts sunk to depths of forty and fifty feet, respect iyely. In the fifty-foot shaft the ledge varies from two and one-half to four

He was unmar ried Petkovieh, who had been em. ployed for several months at the mine, was working on drift off the l,000-foot level this morning with several other men near him. Suddenly and without the least warning huge mass of rock, which was apparently firmly fixed in the roof of the drift, came down on the man, throwing him to the ground and killing him instantly. So great was the mass of rock on his body that it was with difficulty that he was extricated from his position, it is said.--Bisbee Miner.

"IF JACKSON WERE PRESIDENT"

Under this heading the New York Times recalls the fact that "when An drew Jackson was president and South Carolina threatened nullifcation of a federal law, the administration s pro cedure was swift, stern and effective, !" while now, in response to similar threat by the governor of North Caro- lima, President Roosevelt s 'Ssole res ponse' is to dispatch an assistant at torney general to "propose compro- mise and peaceful settlement !"
 Whereupon the New York Times re- marks Sometimes not conscience, but calculation and self-interest, make cow ards. v
 Rubbishl President Roosevelt, being very human, has his faults and failings, but eowardice is not one of them. Nei,s ther does it appear how calculating self interest would dictate the course the president is following in this matter
 
 If he had assumed the Jackson role though no forcible resistance to the federal authority has yet been threat ened in North Carolina-would he not have had the applause of the unthink- ing, who are usually majority in such erisesG How easy to have cried What! a new rebellionl By the Eternal, l will show you what is the supreme authority and who is sovereign in this country! Have you forgotten Appomattox and its famous apple tree Six regiments of federal soldiers will start for North Carolina at onceip'
 This is what those who do not yet understand Theodore Roosevelt prob ably expected of him. It is what the Times seems to imply he should have done. But we are confident that the great majority of the people will ap- prove the effort of the president to se- cure a peaceful settlement of the diff eulty, leaving the adjudication to the supreme court, where it belongs, and | where appeals of the same nature from other states, including New York, are now pending. Though believer in preparedness for war, and sometimes too much of an apostle of lorce, Mr. Roosevelt, since he becamo president. has composed many quarrels and pro- voked none. It may fairly be claimed for him that there has never been a more successful peacemaker in the White House than he. The Japanese Russian intervention, the settlement of the great coal strike and other labor difficulties, the handling of the recent Japanese incident and the whole ten dency of our foreign policy, including his active encouragement of the peace conference at The Hague, have shown a pacific disposition which neither the ardent friends nor the apprehensive critics of MT. Roosevelt gave him credit for before his election.
 If the president can secure a peace able reference to the highest court of the matter at issue in North Carolina, he will deserve and, we believe, will receive, far greater credit from the country than though he had initiated the now uncalled for heroies of Andrew Jackson.

The Arizona public generally will learn with great regret of the sudden death early Sunday morning of Cap, tain w. J. Ross of Tucson. Captain Ross had been ill only two days from inflammation of the bowels when he passed away. He served in the cavalry during the early Indian warfare and was stationed in Fort Apache and other frontier points. Captain Ross and the late Al Sieber of this county were favorites of General Charles King and they appear in some of his western novels as prominent characters, under, of course, fictitious names.

Details of the sudden death of John T. Thysing, veteran Indian trader, at his store at Bet-ahoo-chee, some distance from Kream's Canyon, last week, are given in the Holbrook Argus. The cir eumstanees leave little doubt that Thy sing was murdered. On the afternoon previous to the discovery of the man s dead body his wife left the trading store for Keam s to consult physician She left her husband in perfect health On the way back the next morning Mrs. Thysing met an Indian, who told her that her husband was dead in his store. Hurrying home, she found Thy sing sitting upright in chair, heavy blanket wrapped tightly around his head and shoulders. The money drawer was open and quite empty This leads to the belief that it was not ease of suicide, but that Thysiug was smoth- cred to death by Indians, enemies or robbers.
