MONKEY WAS A PICKPOCKET
English Thieves Had Va..shJe Assist.
ant in Small Pet They Had
Trained to Steal.

-Four men and a female monkey
have been caught picking pockets at
the Ham fair and arrested, says the
London Telegraph.
One of the former, an old soldier
from Algeria, carried the animal
under his arm. The monkey is
dear, engaging little thing, and the
holiday crowd stopped to pet it.
Not a bit shy, it made up to
everyone, allowed itself to be fondled
and fed, and played prettily at
rifling its new found friends coat
pockets. 1t had funny little face
and look quite "like humans"
1t was, in fact, extremely human,
and its play was no play at all. 1t
rifed pockets in earnest, and, while
its admirers were saying "Dear little
thing" and studying its expression
it removed purses and watches rap
idly and passed them round with
marvellous sleight of paw to its mas
ter.
The four accomplices of the
monkey, when arrested, explained
the game. They are proud of their
pets intelligence.
"She's wonder. She practically
wanted no training, but took to the
trick natural like. and she beats the
best man, woman or child at it."

MINES And MINING NEWS

about eight inches vide and a shaft

This discovery was made about
live miles south of the celebrated
Johnnie Consolidated mine, one and
one-half miles south of the town and
one-half miles southeast of the Con-
gress mine owned by a crowd of To-
nopah mining men, headed by Harry
Ramsey, Jim Butler and Frank Ish.
Yesterday Mr.. Garrett sold his

$4,000, and a large number of
shares of stock in company to be

purchasers are S. II Barbee, former

LARGE STRIKE ON
MOHAWK JUMBOIN-
CREASES INTEREST
Excitement Caused by $1,000 Ore
Continues Unabated and Ship
meAts Are Now Awaited
With Anxiety.

GOLDFIELD, New, May 29.-Tht
big strike that was made last week by
the Mohawk Jumbo leasers on the
Jumbo extension, continues to be the
talk of the camp. A new body of ore
was opened up during the week that
ran up into the big figures but the
$1,000 assay that the original strike
produced is still the record The rich
ore bearing ledge has been cut right
through and there is about feet OF
the phenomenally rich stuff. Sta
stions are now being cut at the 415-
3foot level and drifts will be run on
ythe ledge to develop the big find AT
present about 20 feet of the ledge has
been uncovered and shows ore of ex-
traordinary richness throughout its
etnire length
j. Fl. Macmillan, of the J. II. Mac
MILAN Company, Inc, managers of
the lease, took number of experts
out to look at the strike during the
week and the opinions of these men
were all to the effect that the indi-
cations pointed to one of the rich
,est strikes both in point of value and
'eXtent of the ore body ever uncover
ed in the Goldfield district.
No shipments will be made until
the ledge has been stripped for a con-
siderable distance but the property
lis equipped with a full plant of ma
ichinery and with big three-compart-
ment shaft the lease is in a position
to turn out a big daily production.
The report of the find caused the
price of Jumbo Extension to soar on
last Saturday, and the stock jumped
from around $1.3O to 5000. While
it did not hold up to that figure I'M
der the bear raid, it fully established
the fact that the property is all that
has been claimed for it. One of the
heaviest buyers of Jumbo Elk was Mr.
Macmillan, who purchased about 25,-
900 shares of the stock last Saturday

The Copper Situation.

BOSTON, May 29.-AS June | ap-
proaches there is an increasing de-
mand for copper coming into the
market, but not until after that date
should large volume of orders be
recorded on the books of the selling
agencies.
Charles f. Booker, the president
of the American Brass Co., is in Eu-
rope, and is not expected to return
before June /, and as he has in
charge the buying of over 100, 00O,-
600 pounds of copper annually, it is
thought that many of the smaller
brass manufacturers are waiting to
see if he pays the prevailing high
prices for his requirements for the
balance of the yea before they
place their orders.
We know several members of the
American Brass association who have
written one of the largest copper pro-
ducers i'll the country asking that
June deliveries Of the metal be post
poned into July. 1t is quite likely,
however, that these requests are
made for effect ON the copper sellers,
us they are arriving coincident with
complaints from other large manu-
facturers regarding slight dealys in
the receipt of shipments, and asking
that pains he taken to see that no
more delays are permitted to occur.
The Calumet & Hecla Co. is sold
up to July | and is making small
sales at its full price of &c cents per
pound. 1t may be of interest to
state that one very large German
manufacturer recently asked the Cal
umet & Hecla Co. TO name figure
at which it would sell covering re-
quirements for the balance of the
year, but no better price than &c
cents was quoted.
1t is inevitable that copper must
eventually come down from it's pres
ent abnormally high level, but there
is nothing in the general business
situation to cause any apprehension
regarding the immediate future. The
largest copper interests maintain that
with a decline say to 20 cents per
pound, there will appear a sufficient
demand from sources which are pro-
hibited from paying 25 cents, as to
prevent anything more than a frac-
tional recession from the 20-cent
figure.
The world has been educated to
the use of copper and brass to an eX-
tent which s not generally appre-
ciated when attempts are made to
measure consumptive requirements.
Some of these requirements cannot
be placed at 20 cents, and it is this
deferred demand which is expected to
let copper down easy when the de-
cline actually sets in.
One of the largest producers says:
"At the worst. l do not see how it is
possible for copper to decline below
20 cents between now and Jan. l..
There is an actual scarcity of avail
able supplies and l look to see full
prices paid when next the consum-
ers enter the market, and this they
must do within the rext two or three
weeks"

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
MINING IN OLD MEXICO

At the end of the Eighteenth CEN
tury the mines of the Guanajuato
were the foremost of their kind, says
Modern Mexico. 1t was then the Val
encia shaft was sunk to 1,SO0 feet
r and it is still the deepest in the dis
trict.
This work was completed in 1855
at a fabulous expense. 1t is said to
= have cost million, though even this
expenditure seems small compared
with that of the Combination shaft,
sunk on the Comstock lode in 1891;
this was 3,100 feet deep and cost
$6,000,O00.
The cost of the big shaft of the
valencia was Offset by an eXtraordi-
nary production. stated at $780,
100000, most of it extracted during
the latter half of the Eighteenth CEN
tury. This figure corresponds with
The total output of the Comstock up
to the time when the lower workings
were abandoned in 1884.
On August 20, 1884, the king S
tax on the Valencia, amounting to a
sum of $2,64S,S66, was paid. As
this represented one-fifth of the yield
of a period of five years, it serves
to substantiate ever the eXtraordi-
nary statistics of these old mines.
The other mines on the Veta Madre
and those on La Luz veins also pro-
duced enormously at this period, SO
that the population of the district at
the beginning of the Nineteenth CEN
tury had increased to 100, 900.
This was the time of Humboldt
visit. He says that 1.-The whole vein
tthe Veta Madre) of Guanajuato may
be estimated at four ounces of silver
per quintal of minerals" AS quin-
tai is 100 pounds, this means ore
averaging so ounces per ton of 1000
pounds.
Then came the long years of the
revolution against Spanish DONNA
ton. In 1910, when in the height OF
her prosperity as mining center,
Guanajuato was attacked by the re-
publican forces and life became in
secure, so that mining operations
were discouraged and all work OF
Importance was discontinued Deep
work ceased entirely, no shafts were
sunk and the production of ore was
reduced to infrequent shipments
taken from supporting pillars and
from the sides of cid slopes.
Even such decadent mining be-
came insignificant, as, the miners
were driven toward the surface by
the slowly rising water. 1t was at
this period of general lawlessness
that the heavy walls with watch tow
ers were built around the mines, I'M
til every property of Importance had
the look of fortress. Similar pro-
lection was given to the reduction
works, which became fortified en-
closures

A DISASTROUS FIRE
IN CALIFORNIA TOWN

SACRAMENTO, Calf, May 20
Arbuckle, Colusa county, was tonight
visited by disastrous fire, and at
late hour, when the telephone wires
went down, the flames were not un-
der control.
The fire started in the big ware
house of Balsaur & Garrett, and the
building was completely destroyed.
The flames spread 10 the yards of
the Sierra Lumber Company and al
most al lof the stock was burned.
Several construction cars that were
standing on the siding were burned
and fears that the flames would then
spread further were entertained.
While the loss is not known it is
estimated that that suffered by Bal
saur & Garrett and the Sierra Lum-
Der Company may reach $4,000.
This is the third time within two
years that Arbuckle has suffered a
severe loss by fire.
1t is now thought that tramp was
burned in the warehouse.
The West Valley lumber yard is

ON IN ZION CITY

CHICAGO, May 29.--General Over
seer Voliva, who succeeded in GUST
ing John Alexander Dowie from con-
troll of Zion City, has been ordered by
Receiver John G. Hately to vaeate all

This action was taken by Mr.. Hate
y as a climax to bitter quarrel be-
tween Voliva and the president of
the Zion City bank. Voliva present
ed his check for $500 at the bank
and demanded payment at once. The
bank officials declined to comply with
the request until they had some ad-
vice from Receiver Hately in the

actions Receiver Hately ordered the
cashier of the bank to withhold all
moneys from Voliva and then noti-
fed Voliva that commencing on June
| the leases held by him on the taber-
nacle and public buildings would ex-
pire, and that Voliva must relinquish
