DEAD NAN MAY
BE AN ABSCONDER

STOCKTON, Cal. July &C. E.
Smith, of Santa Rosa, has been
prompted by reading reports of the
discovery of the body of an unknown
man in deserted we'll near Tracy, to
notify Sheriff Sibley of the strange
disappearance of a Colorado man.
The officials infer from the following
letter that Smith wishes to intimate
that the dead man may be the same
person who absconded with $4,000.
The letter follows:

Stamp Mill at Mammoth Burned.

Fire of an incendiary origin destroyed the big stamp mill at Mammoth on Saturday evening. Mammoth is To- cated 60 miles north of Tucson on the north side of the Catalina range. The mill was valued at OO,OO0$.
 The stamp mill was owned by a cap- italist whose name is Fletcher. He is a resident of Detroit, Michigan.
 The mill has not been in operation for four years. It was erected to han dle the gold ores from the properties in the Mammoth district and was op- erated with much success for several years.
 However, with the lessening of op- erations in the Mammoth district the mill was closed down and for the past four years it has been in charge of a watchman.
 When the flames were discovered Saturday night they had made such headway that they could not be ex- tinguished and according to the report which reached Tucson the plant is al- most a total loss.-Tucson Citizen.

The Riverside mountains are on the
 California side of the Colorado river, immediately to the southwest of Par
 ker. Parker is located on the Arizona
 side of the stream and is completely
 surrounded by richly mineralized hills
 all of which contain untold wealth for
 a claimant.
 Gold bearing rock that was over 25O$ to the ton has been discovered on
 the claims of E. s. Osborne, twenty
 miles east of Parker on the Arizona side of the river and other big strikes are being reported from the ranges north and south. This fact goes to show that the deposits of gold are not confined to any one particular location or spot but are general throughout the entire section.
 Parker is prepared for the rush which is inevitable. It has two hotels, the largest of which is the Commer- cial, which was recently opened by Luis Garesche and James DuShane, both of whom are we'll known in Phe- nix. The big stores of the Color ado River Supply company and the Par ker Commercial company are amply stocked and will be able to meet all demands for miners supplies and ne- cessities and rush is expected within a few days.
 Seen at the Commercial hotel yes terday by a Republican reporter w. H. O. Alexander said that the news of the big strikes in the Parker section had not been exaggerated in his esti- nation. He had made fine strike on his property which is known as the Cyclone group located this side of Par ker. He had some very fine speci- mems of ere which he had brought along. The assay he said had proved that the ore would average from one to four ounces in gold and from to 50 per cent in copper. One selected piece of ore ran over l50O$.to the ton. This was taken from a pocket. The formation is of iron lime and por- phery and the gold was showing up all through the deposit. His property is two claims wide and two long on the deposit and though no great develop ment work has been done on it, on an group the Carnation, a shaft has been sunk 300 feet and cross cut of ledge of ore 45 feet in width showing high values in gold, copper and silver.

Big Gold Strike in Northern Yuma
 County.

An important gold strike has been made on the Crown Princess claim of the Little Clara group of mines in the Bill Williams district of Northern Yuma county. This is the Carrigan property, on which work has been in progress for some time. On the 2OO- foot level they struck 4-foot ledge of ore which assays on an average of 20OS ton with pay streaks running into the thousands. A tide of fortune hun ters are rushing from neighboring camps into the district.
 The Little Clara property is better known as the Carrigan strike, which attrac ted wide attention about three years ago when ore that ran as high as 100, ,00( 8 in gold to the ton was found near the surface. At that time there was rush into the district, hundreds of claims being staked.-Yuma Ex- aminer.

composed of Alabama capitalists and they have decided to sink shaft to a depth of 500 feet and Mr. Durham will start this work within few days. He recently made new discovery on the group while doing his annual assess ment work. He went some way from the old works and cleared away the surface debris with the intention of starting new shaft. To his surprise, he found under the debris, the top of an exceedingly rich ore chute in which he sunk shaft to depth of sixteen feet, all in ore which assayed 35 per cent. copper, eighty ounces silver and 6$ gold per ton. This discovery was brought to the attention of the Ala bama capitalists and caused them to take hold of the property. We con- graduate Jack, as he has stuck to his property for years and deserves to win out. The property is only 15 miles from Red Rock, hence very convenient to the Sasco shelter and it should not cost over AS per ton to deliver the ore from the mines to the shelter. This will give the company an opportunity to have their ore treated without go- ing to the expense of erecting their own plant and considering the high grade character of the ore they should be able to make the mines pay the cost of their development.-Florence Blade

Amalsamated Making Good.

Boston, April 2.-Added to the dis. cussion as to the cost of making cop. per in Butte is the assertion, posi- lively made, by a leading Amalga- mated operating officer that the aver age cost of Amalgamated copper un- der normal conditions, and including 9 refining and selling, has been 10 1-2 cents. That, it is claimed, was the cost under highly increased prices for supplies and great depreciation in the efficiency of labor. The cost of supplies can not be greatly reduced at present, but the efficiency of labor has already been raised since the resump- tion of mining, aud it is claimed that the mines are showing ton of ore per man per shift more than they did year ago. It is stated by the high est officials of the Amalgamated that the results are better than they have been at any time in seven years.
 One of the big items of increased cost in mining is the cost of lumber. Formerly the company paid 9$ and lO$ per 1000 feet for its lumber, but now it pays AS more as stumpage to the gov ernment and buys government timber rather than cut its own. Steel and candles have greatly increased in price and these are among the items of cost that cannot be reduced. The great saving is being made in economies at the mines and smelters, the increased efficiency of labor and the higher grade of ore sent to the smelters.
 The Amalgamated has new system of checking against production, the most perfect in the world. Reports made to the foremen detail the work done under their charge two days be- fore and they not only show what every ton of ore hoisted cost the con- pany, but what it cost to put in every bit of timber on each shift. The re- port gives each foreman the average cost of the ore produced by him for every month comparing it with the cost for corresponding months for one, two and three years.

Big Mineral Discoveries.

l Parker on the Colorado river seems certainly situated for the next big gold excitement. Rich discoveries are be- ing made all around it and the great est excitement prevails in the little river town. The biggest talk just now is about number of discoveries in the Riverside range on the Califor. mia side of the river short distance from Par ker and the proved values Of samples shown are to say the least thrilling. The following letter was received by the Phenix Republican.
 Parker, Ariz., April 6.-(Special 6. Correspondence of the Republican, A great sensation was caused in Par. ker yesterday by the news that one of the biggest gold strikes in the history of Arizona had been made in the Riv- erside mountains fifteen miles south west of this town. The excitement was intensified by the arrival of two prospectors from the scene of the S rik ewith ore in their possession that assayed nearly 14OO$ to the ton. They had samples of ore from number of claims and the lowest value was 6S0$ per ton.
 Wm. R. Baily and his brother have been both prospecting in this district for twelve years and they have insist ed all along that this was the richest mineral country in the southwest. Their strike proves positively the soundness of their judgment and a rush of prospectors is expected here as soon as the news of this big gold strike find becomes generally known.
 Already several outfits have left Parker for the mountains to the south and Parker which claims to be the center of world of mineral wealth, will soon be the objective point of hundreds of eager men and the hills will be covered with searchers for hid den treasures.
 It has long been known that the mountains of that section were rich in copper. In fact there are proven mines within a few miles that in a year or So would make Parker one of the most important mining cities in the country, even had gold never been discovered. But now that free gold has been found the future of that sec- tion is assured and the stock money market cannot possibly retard the de- velopment of the Parker country.

The Lost Gulch property at Globe, Arizona, has been sold by H. B. Morse of Globe to c. R. Lane and associates for 450,OO0$. Associated with Mr. Lane are the members of the old For. tuna Company, of Yuma county Robert Strauss, Joe Golden and Ed Wiggins. A 4O-stamp mill will be ordered at once by the new owners, and it will have concentrating plant attached. New shafts are to be sunk and the Lost Gulch developed on an

At the Prescott National bank can be seen very pretty gold quartz spec linen, which, in bulk, is about half quartz and half gold. The gold is valued at sos. This specimen was picked up in the Rich Hill section of this county, after recent rain. Like all the specimens from that famously rich section, the gold has the appear ance of being perfectly pure. The bank now has about 5O0$ worth of specimens, all from this county, which are kept to show visitors who come to look into the general advantages and resources of this county.-Prescott Courier.

PAPER FROM THE COTTON PLANT

Paper manufacturers and users will
be interested in a successful process
which is said to have been discovered
for making paper from cotton stalks,
cottonseed bulls and other portions of
the cotton plant. Stress has been laid
Of late upon the enormous loss which
has been sustained annually through
the blowing under or burning of some
100000 tons Of cotton stalks, in view
of which the new process will be well
coined by those who favor a conserva-
tion Of our forest resources as well as
those who are merely interested In
buying cheaper paper. company
which proposes to manufacture paper
from the new material has been incor-'
porated at Atlanta, Ga, under the title
of the Southern Cotton Stalk Pulp and
Paper company 1t is claimed by the
new company that paper can be manu-
featured from cotton stalks much more
cheaply than is possible in the wood
pulp mills of the country, while 1t has
been estimated that If all Of the cotton
stalks produced in the country were
utilized in the manufacture Of paper 1t
would keep 1,500 mills running night
and day through the year, each turning
out twenty-five tons of paper day.
From the standpoint Of protecting our
forest interests as well as the ecOnom-
ical disposal Of what up to the present
has been a useless byproduct it is to
be hoped that the new enterprise will

Mr.. BrYan's RetOrt.

Mr.. Bryan continues perfectly ami
able in his correspondence with the
President. He not only keeps his
temper, but he keeps close to the facts,
and he never misses the point
The Presidents insinuations that
illegal trade combinations are favor
able to Mr.. Bryan was, of course, moth
ing more than bit of stump oratory.
You can't prove it or disprove it. But
we do not believe there is a Republi-
can in the country, not dependent on
Mr.. Roosevelt for his income who
would not laugh at it. All the great
trade combinations, lawful and other
wise, are supporting Mr. Taft and the
Republican party.
Mr.. Bryan points to the fact that
the President admits asserting to the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company by the Steel Corpora
ton. What is the use of pretending
that you are fighting the trusts when
you help the biggest of them all to be-
come much bigger? The President
says he did it for the good of the coun-
try. All the trusts and all their ad-
vocates in Court and politics will in
sist that they promote the public good
Are we going to leave 1t to one man.
the President of the United States, to
decide what trusts shall be suppressed
and what trusts shall be allowed to
absorb their rivals and grow greater
than ever?
Mr.. Bryan also makes a very neat
reference to one of the most prepost-
erous acts of Executive usurpation in
our history, the Presidents refusal to
allow Paul Morton, then in his Cabinet
to be prosecuted for rebating. Bet
ting odds in New York, which were
favorable to Mr.. Taft, have been grow
ing less so as result of the Presi-
dents plunge into the controversies
of the campaign. If the President will
write one or two more letters to Mr.,
Bryan the betting odds even in the
Wall street district will be favorable
to the Democratic candidate.-Phila
Record.

ovERREAcHED AND LOST.

The holding of farm produce for a
higher price when an already high
price is obtainable partakes often of
the nature of speculation and is
likely to result in serious loss. This
point finds illustration in the case of a
bunch of north Iowa farmers who two
years ago held their wool for higher
price when they could have realized
% cents pound for it. In their opin-
ion this was not enough. The next
season the price of wool dropped to 16
cents. They still held their wool in
the hope that the high price Of the
preceding season would prevail, but it
did not. This year, after having had
their money tied up in their clip two
years, they brought it to town and
sold it for 8 cents a pound. Once in
dozen times perhaps a fellow can
win out on speculation Of the above
type, but the other eleven he will be q
loser. IF in any given season the price
of a product Is less than the average
for a period of ten years, 1t will be
fairly safe to hold on to it provided
the product isn't Of particularly per-
ishable nature. On the other hand, if
the price is higher than this, average
good judgment would dictate the wis
dom of selling.

When young trees are set in an old
orchard where most of the trees have
their roots systems established-a prac-
tice, by the way, which it is not always
wise to follow-the ground should be
made mellow for considerable space
and depth before the tree is set. Be
sides this, it should be given a heavy
fertilizing and mulching to aid it in
overcoming the handicap it labors un-
der of trying to compete for existence
with older and larger trees.
