PATAGONIA, Oct S.-The Pitts
burg camp, in the Santa Rita
mountains, now looks very much /
like a mining camp. The boiler,
hoist, pump and air compressor
are all in place and in operation.
The shaft has been tlmbered and |
sinking has been resumed, after a
delay caused by waiting for the .
machinery. The shaft is down .
about ninety fest and going down
at rate of four feet day. About
twenty men me employed.
The men comprising the Arizona
Piusburg company, owners of the
property, have done considerable
prospecting in Santa Cruz county
during the past several years and
have finally located on piece of
ground where everything points to
the presence of large body OF
copper ore and they have installed
mining machinery of sufficient
capacity to thoroughly and quickly
prospect and develop the vein they
are working on. Where the work
is being done the ledge is twelve
feet wide at the surface cropping.
1t is a highly mineralized quartz,
carrying copper, silver and lead.
As depth is acquired the lead in
the rock grows less and copper
more pronounced. For a width of
four feet the rock now being
worked in is pretty thoroughly i'm
pregnated with copper sulphides
(chalcopyrite), which come in
heavier as depth is acquired. The
ledge, near the surface is almost
perpendicular and the first seventy
five feet of the shaft is straight
down, but from that depth the
shaft will incline with the dip of
the ledge, which is slight and to
the north. The shaft will follow
the vein down to depth of three
hundred feet, when drifting and
prosecuting will be commenced.
r. A. Mcdonald of Pittsburg, Pa,
president of the company, visited
the property recently, and imme-
diately upon looking over the pros
pect and the vein upon which it is
located, decided that the Arizona
Pittsburg company wanted all the
ground obtainable in that section.
The mine is located on the Veta
Grande, the central enc of the
three big veins that are ON the
Patagonia slope of the Santa Rita
mountains. Between the Pittsburg
and the Leek- Mcdonald mines the
|. I. Hosey company owned one
claim, connecting the two proper
ties. This claim the Arizona-P Pitts
burg company bought in while
Mr.. Mcdonald was here, he and
General Manager I, A. Cox going
to Phoenix for that purpose and to
secure an option on other claims
owned by The Hosey people. The
claim bought in is one of the /. T.
Hosey group Of thirty.two claims
and the Pitsburg people have
taken an option on the other thirty
one claims. Besides the Veta Graude
there are number of other good
lodges ON the claims held by the
company, but with the exception
Of assessment work being done on
some of the other claims, the pros
pect and development work for the
present will be confined to the

LIFE A FUNNY PROPOSITION.

An exchange solves the prob
lem of life in this way. Man
comes into this world without
his consent iand leaves against
his will. During his stay on earth
his time is spent in one continu-
Gus round of contraries and
misunderstanding by the bal
ance of the species.
In his infancy, he is an angle,
in his boyhood, is a devil; in
his young manhood, he is
everything from to lizard; in
his dotage he is fool, if he
raises a family he is a chump, if
he raises a small check he is a
thief and then the law raises
the devil with him.
1t he is a poor man, he is a
bad manager, if he is rich he is
dishonest, if he is in politics is a
CRATER, if he is out of politics
you can't place him and he is an
undesirable citizen, if he is in a
church he is a hypocrit, if he is
out of church he is sinner and
is damned, if he donates to
foreign mission he does it for
show, if he doesn't then he is
Stingy. When he first comes
into the world everybody wants
to kiss him but before he goes
out they all want to kick him.
If he died young there was a
great future before him, if he
lives to a ripe old age he is simply
trying to save funeral expenses.
Life is funny road, but we all
like to travel it just the same.

MCKNIGHT DEAD.

Virgil Mcknight, representa-
tive in the lower House sof the
General Assembly from Mason
county, died atthe Capital Hotel
about two o'clock Sunday morn
ing from asthma, from which he
had been suffering for some
time. Mr.. Mcknight was uni
versally liked wherever he was
known and has represented his
county four times in the Legis-
lature. He was one of the seven
Democrats who are voting
against Beckham for the Senate.
The death of Mr.. Mcknight
comes as a great shock to his
host of friends. He was about
fifty years old and was a man of
ability, and was one of the lead
ing members of the House. His
death makes a tie in the House
between the Republicans and
Democrats and gives Speaker
Gooch the deciding vote on all
party questions. 1t is not thought
that Mr.. Meningitis death will
make any material difference in
the Sentorial race, except that it
makes the number of the Joint
Assembly one less, and makes
Beckham one vote nearer cleo
ton.

Still he stood mute.

REMEDY FOR PNEUMONIA.

If any member of the family is
threatened with pneumonia, fry
out a skilletful of onions. Have
two sacks made of flannel, large
enough to cover the breast; fill
one with the onions as hot as can
be borne by the patient and place
on the breast. Before this one
cools have ready the other sack
filled with the rest of the onions.
When you remove one replace at
once with the hot one. Contin-
ue this for from IL to "a hours,
according to the severity of the
attack and your patient will soon
be out Of danger. Keep out of
draughts of air for a few days
and make the change gradually
to cooler temperature. This
recipe has the endorsement of
physicians and has been tried re-
peatedly with success. Corn
silks and watermelon seeds make
fine remedy for diseased kid
neys. Make a tea and drink
every day and you will soon no.
tice good results. 1t is safe. For
jaundice or inactive liver. try
wild cherry bark soaked in cold
water or made into bitters and a
tea of peach tree leaves. Tried
and found good. A tonic bitter
for the spring time can be made
of the following and will save
dollars in doctors bills: A hand
full of wild cherry bark, dogwood,
sarsaparilla, a few roots of the
broad leaved dock and a very
few burdock. Wash clean and
cover with whisky. Let soak a
week and you have a jug Of old
fashioned bitters. (Mrs. j. M.
Vance in Agricultural Epitomist.)
