Mining Man Killed.

Thursday night the body of a man was picked up west of Seligman, but nothing that would lead to his identity was found. The remains were taken to Seligman. It is said that the man purchased a ticket at Seligman for Kingman and had told some one that he owned mines in this vicinity and had grown up son. He is described as spare built man, about sixty years of age, hook nose, baldheaded and gray haired. One of the conductors reports that the man had been put off an east bound train at Peach Springs Christmas morning, and at the time he was acting rather crazy. No one of the description given is known in Kingman.

Promises to be Big Gold Camp.

Writing from Rawhide, Nevada, F. A. Polka has the following to say:
 "Rawhide is going to make one of the great gold mining camps of the state. Where two months ago the camp had few prospectors and tents, we now have population of l,2GO to l,5OO and over 600 houses and tents of all description, but best of all, the dis trict has the gold in sight, and near the surface to warrant a much greater population, were the financial condi- tions a little better. With money matters easier and the opening of the new year we expect that the rush of Goldfe d will be repeated. Finding If l,OOO$ to 3,OOO$ rock in fair sized bod ies or veins is not an infrequent occur renee, and bodies of ore assaying from 5O$ to 50O$ across the face of lodges from IA inches to seven feet wide are of almost daily occurrence.
 The camp is located in the extreme northern end of Esmeralda county, and about 20 miles from Shurz on the railroad, as the crow flies.

Cananea to Resume.

From reliable sources it is learned that the Ryan-Cole syndicate is to re- sume operations at Cananea, Mexico, on a larger scale than ever within the next few months. Important improve ments are in progress at the slnelters, by which greater tonnage of ore will be handled. It is proposed to double the capacity of the plant without in- creasing the total expenditures.

7,OOO,OOO$ Sale is Pending.

Drifting on the first level in the main shaft is being done and the main shaft, which is now down ll5 feet, will be sunk to the 2OO-foot level. Three eight-hour shifts are being worked at present, and the plant is being taxed to it's full capacity.

Attempted Murder and Suicide.

The holiday festivities among the Wallapai Indians at Kingman was marred last Tuesday evening by an attempt to kill the aged queen of the tribe and the suicide of the youth who made the attempt. Ned Levy-Levy, an educated Indian, and grandson of old Levy-Levy, peace chief of the tribe, filled up on booze and procuring a rife, proceeded to run a-muck in the camp to the south of town. An Indian tried to take the gun from the drunk en tribesman, but was shot at for his pains. Then the young fellow shot Mrs. Levy-Levy through the calf of the leg, making a painful though not dangerous, wound. He then ran onto the hillside, near the camp, and after few minutes placed the gun to his head and fired bullet through hls brain. He lived but few hours. The Indians were much wrought up over the tragedy and tribesmen came from all parts of the county to take part in the "big cry" Wednesday and Thurs day, and their lamentations could be heard for miles around.
 Chief Levy-Levy and his faithful old wife have always been friendly to the whites since the advent of the first caucasion in this part of the territory, and have often saved the lives of pros- pectors that had the hardihood to brave the terrOrs of the desert in search of treasure. It was this squaw, now wrinkled and decrepid with age, who saved the old post at Beale Springs from a terrible massacre many years ago, talking for more than eight hours to the tribe against the return of Chief Levy-Levy, who was absent, and who on returning to camp sent the hostile Indians about face instanter For this act of friendship the whites of this region have always had warm place in their hearts for the aged wo- man,

The present depression in mining will have the direct effect of introduc- ing many improvements and new econ- omies in working, more particularly in the methods of ore treatment. Mine owners realize that very often success or failure depends not wholly on the mine but on the methods of disposing of the ore and treating it economi- cally. Therefore, a more careful in- vestigation is being made of recent improvements in metallurgical and chemical processes, so as to obtain the greatest recovery of the marketable products. The present adverse con- ditions in the metal market rather stimulate che tendency in this direc- tion, and incidentally encourage pros pecting for extensive lowgrade ore de- pOsits which not so long ago were sidetracked by the desire to discover free milling or shipping ores. There has also come gratifying change in the method of mining, namely. hand ling by steam shovel or dredge enor- nous quantities of low-grade material; this has greatly reduced the cost of production, and has made possible the profitable treatment of ores that here tofore were believed to be no better than Mining World.

oil Refinery to Cover 1000 Acres

A New York dispatch says: The Standard Oil Company has begun the construction of refinery in New Jer- sey which will be the largest in the world. One section of it will cover almost a thousand acres. When con- pleted it will extend from Elizabeth to Railway. Ground for the first set . tion was broken several days ago al d 25O0 bricklayers, ironworkers and oth- CT artisans will be employed on it.
 The first section, which is to turn out 10000 barrels of refined oil daily, will be completed before next July.
 The company now owns or controls sixty plants, but this will be the main one, and it's products will be shipped all over the world. To carry it's out put hundred or more new tank steam ships will be added to the company's oil fleet. New pipe lines to the con- pany's fields in the West and South are to be laid to bring the crude oil to the monster plant.
 It is believed the present plans will result in concentrating the company's business in New Jersey, where the Standard Oil is incorporated, and many of its subsidiary oil concerns may be dissolved in consequence.

The Boston-Pioche Mining company are now hauling carload of the rich ore from the Tuba East claim, to the railroad. This comprises some of the richest ore that has been uncovered in the district, and is characteristic of that found along the famous porphry dyke. Much of this ore is now uncov- cred in the Tuba East ground, but we have been informed that shipping up- on an extensive scale will be postpon- ed by the company, until such time as the shaft now being sunk is connected with the ore shoot. The ore being shipped will easily average HOS per ton.-The Pioche Record.

DELAWARE INDUSTRY PACKING SAUSAGE.

Novel Mandatory Started Up al Milton Which
Promises to be a Growing Enterprise.
The new and novel industry of pack
ing sausage in glass jars and cans
was undertaken last week by the
Royal Packing Company, one of the
big packing concerns recently located
at Milton. The work this week has
been for number of private citizens
who desired to see the company give a
9air trial to the experiment. Sausage,
after being thus conserved, becomes
more palatable and loses its superhuous
richness, and is said to be thoroughly
healthful for spring and summer. The
enterprise may be taken up on a large
scale by this company next year if its
pack keeps we'll this year and shows
the improvement and desirability ex-
pected.

STEAMBOAT RACE A XMAS ATTRACTION

Steamer "frederlca" and Steamer "City of
Milford" May Have Bout to Settle Dispute.
A steamboat race for prize may be-
the attraction at Frederick during the
holidays if the present spirit of rivalry
keeps up between the towns of Fred
erica and Milford as to which of the
twain has the feetest steamboat plying
up the Delaware to Philadelphia. The
announcement that the City of Milford
beat the steamboat Frederica in a race
has been fatty contradicted by Chief
Engineer August Wolquist, of the
Frederick, who declares that the Fred
erica was not in a race at all or he
would haye gotten busy, as would also
the stoker. ''The City of Milford
never beat the Frederick, nor can she
do it, says the engineer. He is ready
for tryout, free of charge, whenever
the matter can be arranged.
