VALUES IN OLD DUMPS
Modern Process of Recovering Gold
 Applied in Tombstone District

II F. Clan idge, general manager of the Shines Tailinss Co.,, operating on the Old Contention tailings dump be- low Fairbsuk, was a Tom mbstone visi tor today. The plant at that place has just been completed and is now ready for business The process while that of a general cyanide character includes a peculiar fltering system which Is of as much importance in the recovery of values as any other detail
 NIT. Claridge stated that they would be able to handle approximately two hundred tons per day from the begin ming and would probably enlsrgetheir capacity as they progressed. No state ment was volunteered as to the value per ton in the tailings, but MT c stat ed that they could be treated at cost not exceeding 57 cents per ton.
 There is no doubt but what this enterprise will bring good, probably hattering returns, and its progress may throw valuable light on many other propositions in Tombstone and along the old stamping" ground of the big companies in Cochise county.

SITUATION EXPLAINED
By the Lightning Editor of the PROS PEcT0R"--.Due to Liberalization

Inquiry advanced 80 frequently as to why there is such an enormous rain fall in Bisbee is easily explained by the "wise !eller" Of THE PRosPECToR. The district about BIsbee is enOrm- ously mineralized. While the copper is usually found at considerable depth, the surface, as in the case of Sarca- mento hill, is almost solid iron and iron gossin.
 Itis well known fact that inn mense bodies of iron attract clouds and c nditions of humidity, and after ward invite precipitation, and on that account, Bisbee enjoys more of Heavens delectsble beverage some times thsn she wants.
 The same conditions obtain largely about Tombstone, tie difference being, that this district is broader and con. sequently the precipitation more nor- nal and distributed to the taste of every citizen.

HYDR0PH0BIA SKUNK
Arizona Feline. Whose Bite Is More Dreaded Than the RattIesnakes.

The elegant little mineral cabinet belonging to the Comet saloon, owned by Messrs. Payla < Andrino, possesse, many specimens of interest besides minerals. One of these was placed tn re yesterday by William Johnson. It is A mounted specimen of the gen uine hydrophObia skunk, ard the tax idermi=t has done his work 60 well, that the sight of the diminutive ter TOT instinctively inspires terror in the heart of the old prospector, who has .r-sed his "psrd" and his b ct friend, tied him, held him in agonizing con vulsions of the deadly malady. Noth- ing else offers such dread to the man who sleeps in the sand wash as the hydrophob skunk. Hs treats the the Gila monster with contempt, he treats the cratic sdewinder with con- tempt, he ignores "pizen Hazards, ' centipeds, vinagerones, and tarantu- las, but he builds his bunk nigh through a profound fear of that pretty little purring kitten with the coat of many colors, the hydrophobis skunk.
 The little rascal is about tine size of q large rat, with the easily recognized diamond head, and his pinto effect is far from that of the little, insolent, busy spotted creature which raids the attic and the Kitcben and leaves powerful suggestion of cologne behind. His teeth include the ortinary com pliment of the aver ge skunk, pair of fang like weapons, strongly resemb ling those of the rattlesnake

HUNTER AND IRAPPER
Bob" Estus Visits Tombstone and
 imparts Wood-lore 10 Friends

Mr. G. B. Estus is in town from the Whetstones, where he captures the lurking lion, the bob eat the bold lobo, and other destructive animals for revenue" only. for he insists that there is positively no fun in it. After you have talked with him few min utes about trapping. you will discover that 1t Is a science with innumerable "dips, spurs and angles" He just brought in the hide of mon ster lobo which measured 6 feet inches from | tip of nose to root of tail. lt is esti- mated that such an animal may de- stroy six or seven hundred dollars worth of stock in N single season.
 This trapper states that lobo may be distinguished from the coyote tribe regardless of age or size by the shape of the foot, which Is just the same as that of A dog, while the coyote has an elongated foot. The big wolf was trapped on the eastern slope of the Whetstones. He dragged the trap six or seven miles and was trailed home by the dogs. When found. he was hung up; he had gnawed the brush of all around him and was trying to fight the dogs. His plan of hunting is to set traps in sets; that is in pairs chained together, with A small weight attached. II the trap is chained fast to anything immovable, the animal will almost invariably break some-
 thing or cut his leg off and escape.
 E-tus has AS sets of traps and has
 ordered IS more, which is calculated to minimize the mortality among the
 herds in the foot hills of the Whet-
 stones the coming winter.

the CAUSE OF THEVRoUBLE.

In its leading editorial this week
The Co-Operator. discussing Ne work
of the two conventions of cotton men
the one at Memphis, the otheh al
New Orleans-says:
Neither convention carried to ma
turity any definite plan for holding the
cotton crop for satisfactory prices,
because of the many difficulties in the
way of taking care of that part Of 1t
which is under mortgage for the sup
plies on which 1t was made. But
both did much to overcome these diff
ficulties by. bringing forcibly before
the business world the fact that when
this fraction of the cotton is forced
upon the market in advance OF the
demand for II, the price on the entire
crop is depressed and the South loses
millions Of dollars which should flow
through all her channels of trade
And not only did they bring these
conditions clearly before the business
world, but representative bankers and
business men expressed willingness
to cooperate along safe and sound
methods of improving them"
This is concise but comprehensive
statement of the situation. The only
trouble in solving the problem is with
the factor relating to that part OF
the crop which is under mortgage
but this presents difficulty that is
well nigh insuperable and satisfac
tory solution can never be secured
until this factor is eliminated. In
plain words, the farmers must quit
giving mortgages. The merchant
and the banker can help the farmer
but he must first help himself by
conducting his business according to
business principles The farmer
ought to be the most Independent OF
all men and would be If he would
quit giving others the advantage OF
him.

BROKE A RECORD.
Liverpool Spot Sales Thursday Were
Largest of the Season.

Sales of spot cotton in Liverpool
Thursday totaled $4,000 bales, the
largest transaction Of any one day
since the opening of the season.
Liverpool opened l l-2 points up,
and added three more to the upward
move, closing at an advance OF IL
points.
The American markets opened TO
3 points up; at the noon call were 10
to II better but prices eased off and
the close was at net gain of only
to points over that of the day before.
The near months seem much stron
ger than more distant options, which
indicates squeeze in December.
The advance in the past few days
has brought out a peter demand for
low grades which had been prscti.
cally without market value since the
opening of the season. Especially is
this noted in the local spot market
where low grades now are relatively
the highest priced cotton sold.
The good spot demand has also
brought out considerable stocks in
the past few days, and severa! big
crop lots were sold at higher prices
than the conditions of the market
seemed to justify.
