Rich Silver Strike Made Near Mohawk

A rich strike OF silver ore has been
made three miles from Mohawk
station, credited to George w. Nor
Lrothers. The ground lies in a south
erly direction from Mohawk, and is
only one mile from the railroad. The
ore is silver chloride in combination
with slight amount of copper.
The peculiar feature of the strike
is that the claims were originally
located for copper. During the an
nual assessment work it was decided
to sink a new hole short distance
from the previous workings. In doing
this assessment work, which consisted
of ten-foot cavity, five tons of ore
we're preserved. This ore is reported
to carry from 100 to 200 ounces of
silver to the ton.
structed from the railway to the
camp and shipments of ore to a
smelter will begin Immediately.
News of this discovery came about
the same time that report was re-
ceived at Yuma regarding the bond
ing of gold property near Kofa.
The bond was made to owners of the
North Star mine for the sum of S11O,-
900.
Work is being rushed at the
property of the Quartette Extension
Gold Mines company. The double
compartment shaft has now reached
depth of 220 feet. The working is
fully timbered and Jagged and is said
to be one of the finest shafts in the
district. Contractor Ralph Kellogg
has charge of the work, and since its
commencement last fall it has pro-
gressed uninterruptedly.
The contract calls for 300 feet of
sinking or water level, and but eighty
feet now remain to be finished, when
it is intimated by the cOmpany's en-
gineers that the shaft will be in the
vicinity of the Quartette ledge.
Copper glance was found on the $50
foot level, which has had all the
characteristics of ore from the
famous Quartette. Crosscutting will
be started from the 3OO-foot level an
it is probable the shaft will continue
to a greater depth.

Bleaching Bones by the Aqua Fria.

Word was brought to the Office of
the sheriff at Phoenix of the finding
of the dead body of man on the
desert between Peoria and Beadsley.
The discovery was made by young
man by the name of Reaksecker.
The case was referred to Acting
Coroner Johnston who directed the
sheriff's Office to send an undertaken
after the remains.
The body has probably lain there a
long time for it consists of little
more than collection of hair aud
bones. The shoes were gone and the
clothing badly torn, probably by
coyotes. Reaksecker said he thought
from the hair, of which there is some
left, that the body is that of white
man.
Just at present the sheriff's office
knows of no man who is missing and
unaccounted for. 1T is therefore
thought that the victim was a
stranger who was making his way
across the country along the railroad
and finding a point at which he
thought he could save distance he
struck off on a tangent and brought
up where his bones were found.

To Select Site for Odd Fellows Home:

The grand lodge of Odd Fellows
will convene in Phoenix next April,
when that body will very likely de-
eide upon the location of the home
which they propose to erect for the
care of old people and for the or
phans left in their care by their de-
ceased members. A number OF
propositions have been submitted to
the committee having this matter in
hand, from various places in the ter
ritory, some Offering to donate sites
and some offering to sell sites.
1t is proposed to make this home a
permanent institution for good and a
credit to any section of the territory
where it might be located. The Odd
Fellows have had this matter in con-
temptation for a number of years
during which time they have been
steadily accommodating funds for the
purpose until they have now several
thousand dollars invested in various
securities, which, when a site has
been selected, will be turned into
cash and expended in the erection of
buildings, furnis hings, etc

EIGHTY CENTS A DAY
FOR MEMCANS.
Problem in Domestic Economy Faces
DOUGLAS Railroad Employees.

Last week the Mexican laborers in
the local roundhouse, machine shops
and riptrack of the E. P. & S.
w. company we're reduced to
J wages of 80 cents day. A reduc-
tion of 33t per cent. In the after
noon five Mexicans were brought up
in the justice court charged by the
E. r. & S. w. with stealing coal.
They we're fined s. apiece.
In the recent order for 33t per
cent. cut in the wages of its Mexi-
can labor, the E. P. & S. W. has i'm
posed upon Douglas Mexicans a prob
lem<in domestic economy that backs
off the board anything that depart
ment of the Ladies' Home Journal
has ever attempted to wrestle with.
The editor of the domestic economy
side talks in the famous Home
Journal has spent much study and
space in his attempt to show that in
the east, with low freight rates, it is
possible for man working for 81 a
day to keep body and soul together
and live an honest life. Douglas
Mexicans are trying to beat that all
to pieces when they try to live there
for 80 cents day.
When the order for the 33t cent
cut was made known in the local
yards, nearly every man walked out.
They had been getting fifteen cents
an hour for their services and work.
ing ten hours for S1.5O a day. When
they learned that not only had their
rate per hour been cut to 10 cents,
but that also they were to work only
eight hours a day, they most unani-
mously rebelled. Call bows we're dis
patched for more Mexicans and quite
a number were hired at the new
wage. The men are employed in all
departments of the shops.

Is There Any Market For Copper MetaI7

There is little or no improvement
to be noted in the copper market and
by reason of the extreme dullness and
lack of demand on the part of Ameri-
can consumers of the metal, prices
have a slight tendency to ease off.
/ Last week a prominent wire manu-
tacturer in New York was offered sew
eral hundred thousands of pounds of
copper at 135 cents and the person to
whom this copper was rendered would
have been able to secure the metal,
he believes, at 139 cents had he de-
sired the copper.
The wire business, so far as new
orders are concerned, is absolutely
fat and mills are now running either
on delayed contracts or on orders
which were temporarily deferred at
the time of the panic last fall.
A leading copper interest says:
"There is no evidence whatsoever
that the copper metal market is of
the slightest interest to the Ameri-
can consumer. 1 have never in my
trade experience of many years seen
the American consumers so little con-
cerned in the market as at present.
This is in face of the fact that they
have absolutely no stocks in their
yards or in transit to them.
81 regret such a situation for 1
know when the turn comes there will
be scramble for copper that will
force a material advance in price.
"Why the United Metals Selling
Co. should increase its price for cop
per one-quarter cent to l44 cents in
the face of an absolute scarcity of
American orders is a trade mystery,
do not call this the real price for
copper.
sour European friends have bought
all the cheap copper, as they usually
do, and | have no fear of this copper
returning to this country. 1t will all
go into consumption abroad, for when
Europe started buying, they were in
the present position of this country

Two Mexican Consultations.

According to recent Mexico City
dispatch two large mining consoli-
dations have been consummated in
the incorporation of the Hidalgo
Copper. Mining & Smelling Co., of
Zimapan, and the Amalgamated Min
ing & Milling Co., of Ell Chico. The
Zimapan combine includes the prop
critics of the Ludlow-Armstrong COM
pany, which comprise 81 properties,
about half of which are silver-copper
and the others silver-lead. The COM
pany also owns the smelters formerly
belonging to the Ludlow-Armstrong
company.
The Amalgamated Mining & Mill
ing company, of Hidalgo, comprises
the properties formerly belonging to
the Mutual Mining association, the
Mexico Mining Syndicate and others
of the Ludlows at Ell Chico, together
with their San Diego mill.

Letters from La Bufa and Toledo
1.-THE latter place on the west side of
the Yaqui river, nearly directly east
ward from Hermosillo, state that on
the eighteenth of December a party
of five people was killed at point
about eighteen miles eastward from
Toledo, toward La Bufa; and that at
about the same time a family had
been killed at the Mesquite ranch,
which is but twelve miles from La
Buta and about fifty miles east of
the Yaqui river. So terroized have
become the people in that vicinity
that travel has become suspended al
most entirely, and men cannot be in
duced to go out into the timber to
cut wood necessary to conduct oper-
ations at the mines. For that very
reason the smelter at La BUta has
had to shut down.

"For several winters past my wife

invariably extended over period of

Hayner, editor of the Burley, Colo,

tried each year, with no beneficial re-
suits. In November last the cough
again put in an appearance and my
wife, acting on the suggestion of a

was indeed marvellous. After three
doses the cough entirely disappeared
