 The group Is located ten miles south of this city in one of the richest gold sections of the Hassayampa district. The company's holdings comprise sev- en patented claims covering timber and water rights.

With business on the mend and the copper working trade very short of the metal, it will not be long before the worlds largest non-feTrous me tallurgical plant will be going full blast This is the great Washoe plant of the Anaconda, in Montana. To keep this plant running at full ca pacfty the daily haul of materials amounts to 13,0O0 tons, which is more than the daily haul of all the pro ducts for manufacture and food sup plies recorded for London. Henry H. Rogers. director in many successful industries, is the father of that great plant in Montana that turns out more metal when running full time than all the metal refining plants of Flu rope gave forth in the year when the father of Henry H. Rogers was born near old New Bedford. MT. Rogers has done such great things in petro- leum and railroading that the frater- mites in those industries try to claipn him as one of themselves. But we in the mining business who have known Mir. Rogers for a generation, claim him as a simon pure and always up and doing mining men, who has put long years of the hardest kind of far seeing and well planned work into iron ore, copper and other forms of mining and manufacture of metals that have been blessings to millions who never saw Mir. Rogers, as We have, hard at work like rigger, every day in the week, and never asking any man to do more than he did himself, and giving a good square deal to ev- cry man.
 Henry H. Rogers was one of the first among our great developers of industries who recognized the prime value of a great engineer, and who surrounded himself with great engin- eers and gave them carte blanche to go ahead and do things as they should be done This is why he stands So deservedly high in the affections of the scientific engineering fraternity.

The recent defeat of the proposed law of Mexico that meant that foreigners could not denounce mining rights, is regarded by makers of mining machinery as having no effect upon the situation there. The law could not have prevented foreign CTS from working through citizens. There has been a good deal of chatter in certain Mexican papers to the ef- feet that a mighty boom in new min ing projects would follow the defeat of the proposed section IA of the mining law. But as a matter of fact, the affair was a tempest in teapot. There are more than enough develop ed mines in Mexico now.

All these are well settled projects by strong corpora tions who had the plans completed up ward of a year ago, but held them up because of the panic. Sixty-five per cent of these engineering works are to be built in the northwest and the Pacific Coast.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Northern New Jersey, Connecticut, western Maine, central Ohio. aud several of the cotton ports exhibited a marked degree of activity in buying copper,
 gold and silver mining shares last week, according to officers of a mum.
 Der of mines. Usually Boston, New
 York, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and two or three cities of the Middle West show the greatest animation under an impetus to the selling price of cop per. But in the last uPlift of the
 metal the stock markets, as shown by the lists of the addresses of the buyers for investment, were more numerous, per capita of population, in this paragraph than in the large cities where the bulk of the copper and silver mining shares are traded { in. The advance in copper seemed t ohave a stimulating effect upon a number of silver and gold mine stocks. The explanation of this is that a good deal of the recent buying in copper, gold and silver mining and metal refining shares has been for account of manufacturers of metal goods in New Jersey, New England and the Middle West, shrewd men, who express the opinion to their friends in the metal trades hereabouts that there never was a better time than now for picking up real bar gains in stocks that are bound to go much higher just as soon as the prin- cipal industries get above a 60 per cent basis of operation.
 None of the important copper min ing companies has increased the num- Der of hands at mines or at smelters since the recent sharp advance in the metal. On this head, the president of an important smeltng and mining in terest in the west said:
 The principal reason why none of the copper mine operators are in- creasing forces at the properties is because they fear that a reaction may follow the 1pturn. The raction may not come. But it is the part of wis is no doubt whatever. that the i'm dom to look out for squalls. There provement in business is real, and has already travelled a wide zone, so that a number of European countries are feeling the good effect from the lib eral placing of orders for textile fab rics and other goods. kept by the de partment stores in this country. But IL ID SOluS lO IClhC sAI 4GS1oI SlA IO INA2 months to get back to ideal condi- tions. Hence, copper men are not going to be stampeded into getting out more copper than the markets can absorb. Nearly all the great pro ducing copper mines are working what used to be called very low g 'ade ore. The only way in which these mines can be worked at profit is by figuring on big tonnages handled in the most scientific way. We have to figure things mighty fine to get small profit. We think it polite to jog along just as we are going. When it becomes clear that the world is in for another long run of full tide con sumption, the copper miners will put one more men and plan for extensions of refining plants. At present, the facilities of the mines are more than ample for all needs"

First Run on q Bank.

The first run of which we have any
account in the history of banking oc-
Cured in the year 1867. At that date
the bankers OIL England were the gold
smiths who had short time before
begun to add banking to their ordinary
business and had become very nu-
merous and influential. In 1869 the
Dutch fleet sailed up the Thames,
blew up the fort at Sheerness, set fire
to Chatham and burned some ships Of
the line. This created the greatest
CONSERVATION in London, especially
among those who had intrusted their
money to the bankers, for it was
known that the latter had advanced
large sums to the king for public pur-
poses, and it was rumored that now
the king would not be able to pay the
money. To queH the panic royal
proclamation was issued to the effect
that payments by the excheeuer to the
bankers would be made, as usual In
1871 there was another run on the
London banks when Charles IL shut
up the exchequer and refused to pay
the bankers either principal or inter-
est of the money which they had ad-
vanced On this occasion many of the
banks and their customers were ruined.

A preparation for washing rugs and

white soap dissolved in four ounces of
boiling water When cool add five
ounces of ammonia, two and one-half
ounces of alcohol, two and one-half
ounces of glycerin and two ounces of
ether or chloroform. Bottle and cork
tightly.
To clean carpet add teaspoonful
Of the preparation to pail Of tepid
water and wiring the soap from this.
The same preparation will also clean

Two tablespoonfuls to pint Of water
will remove the most obstinate stains.
Mating should be washed with
strong salt and water to strengthen
the fibers.
If white or cream colored mating
has become faded, wash with strong
soda water, and, while this will turn it
a deeper shade of creamy yellow, it
will be all one color instead of yarie-
gated.
Mating should always be swept the
