BRAVE BOY BREAKS ARMS
"PIease Do Not Tell Mamma, 1t
Will Cause Her to Worry"

Mervyn Harper, the II year-nId SOD
Of Mr.. and Mrs C. W Harper, broke
both arms Monday by falling from a
cherry tree. The lad was picking cherries
for Mrs. HOag on her place on Thorn
street. The limb on which ne was stand
ing broke, sending him head first to the
ground, with the result that the right
arm was broken just above the wrist and
the left arm was broken between the
wrist and the elbow. DR.. Palamountain
was called and attended to the little suf-
ferer. At this writing he is getting along
as we'll as could be expected.
In this connection it should be stated
that Mervyn's mother is an invalid, hav
ing undergone an operation at st. Igna-
titus hospital some time ago, but is now
confined to her home. The first words
spoken by Mervyn after the accident
were golden words, freighted with mean
ing: "PIease do not tell mamma; it will
cause her to worry" Braver words
were never spoken, and every citizen Of
Colfax wishes the lad a speedy recovery
He is at the home Of Mrs. HOag where
he is receiving every attention.

Yield of Wheat Good.
Ex-County Auditor II. H. Wheeler was
in town Wednesday. He had just pulled
in from his farm in Pleasant Valley,
where he has a wheat field OF $50 acres.
Cutting his grain is in active progress,
and from what Mr.. Wheeler states will
produce big yield. From $40 acres Of
fall sOwn wheat he will get between 35
and 40 bushels to the acre. Two hun
dred acres OF spring sown wheat will yield
20 bushels per acre. This is good news
and will dissipate any dread OF results 30

 Wednesday John Boyle. IT,, super intendent of the Union Basin mining company, received returns from three cars of zinc ore, which gave results of approximately 50 per cent zinc. The ore was shipped to Oklahoma for treatment.
 This ore shows a material improve ment, not only in values, but in the general character of the ore. As the market is on the improve the ore net ted considerably moro than former shipments. We understand that the mine is also showing big improvement in values and character of ores. Prac- tically all this shipment of ore was taken out on contract, which gives the company a clean net return without the adventuring of dollar.
 In the other part of the mine, where the company is employing men on its own account, a big body of still higher grade ore has been opened up. There are three oTe-bearing veins in the prop erty, each of which is opened by adit drift and shaft From one Of them rich lead ere is being shipped to the sroeIter. while the other two carry the values in zinc.

tiOn.
 The seriousness of this loss is more clearly appreciated when it is remembered that CIir production and consumption are increasing more rapidly than is the population of the country: that the mineral supplies for future use are limited in quantity and cannot be reproduced.
 But more serious even than this waste of materials is the excessive loss of life in our mining operations We are grieved to find that last year. in coal mines alone more than 5000 men were killed ani more than 1000 injured; and our distress is increased rather than diminished 10 find that the number of men killed is from two tC four times as great as it is iH other coal mining countries.
 As to copper. lCGd, zinc and the precious metals, it is estimated tha. without discovery Of other deposit at the present increasing rate of coz sumption, the known supplies of thes materials will not last beyond the present century and the probability of discovery of new supplies is di- iniinishing each year.

KINGMAN. Dec. 1S.-S. s. Jones superintendent of the Tom Reed Min ing company, was in Kingman this week on his way to the mines from a trim to Prescott and Phoenix. He re ports the mine showing uR in splendid shape every opening being in ore.
 Since the beginning of work by the Tom Reed company not one pound Of ore has besn taken from the stopes. all extractions from developments hay ing gone to the mill. The retorts from the mill give value Of about s50,O0O per month for each and every month since last March, and all from devel- opment work, something unheard of in mining in Arizona since the days Of the Silver King,
 A ten stamp mill and plate amaleG nation has been the factor in the eX- traction of the gold from the ores. al though lately the small cyanide plant has been securing some values from the tails. E@>
 No sinking has as yet been done but a large amount of drifting on the vein has been carried on, as well as some raising to the levels above. Slopes are now being opened in the great ore bodies and soon as sinking is begun the stOpes will be called on to fur nish the ores until a new level is opened at greater depth.
 Only small holster has as yet been placed on the mine, although it is the intention Of the management to equip the property with large machinery in the near future With better water supply and a large mill the mine will

TUCSON. Dec. S.CSpecial) )-Word comes from Helvetia that the camp is enjoying an era of prosperity. Some 125 men are employed in and about the camp, 50 of whom are Americans and 75 are Mexicans.
 The ore bodies are developing into large proportions, and are of sufficient richness to warrant daily shipments being made to Globe snelters. Be cause of certain fiuxing properties, which the Globe ores lack, they have an additional value in that direction and it is understood that the Globe people pay all transportation charges after the ore leaves tae line of the Southern Pacific.
 In times past the camp has had many ups and downs. Originally il was incorporated for $5,000,000, ana

The waste or natural gas amounts to 1000. .OOO. .O0O cubic feet d day. more than enough to light all the cities Of the United States having more than l09,U00 pop ulatiOn.

for a time the promise was. on paper at least, that the camp would be among Ire big producers of the country. but the company's plans were apparently slow of naturalization. Since that time considerable work has been done not always of profitable kind, and fae camp. has gone along vita varying success, but at no time in it's check cred career has it given the promise lit now does.
 So far as can be judged by results the camp is well managed under Su- perintendent SteubIlng, and the ore bodies now opened are better than any heretofore encountered. Undoubt- edly the time is not far distant when tne camp will be in reality large enc
