THE YAVAPAI ROLL :
MAY Be slO,OOO,OOO
Slight Decrease in Mine Pro-
duction Is Due to the Low
Price of Copper,

PRESCOTT. June Is. - Although
there is q slight decrease in the pro
duction of the precious metals in
1907 from the previous year, County
Assessor Campbell IS confident that
the assessed valuation of the property
cf the county will exceed that Of last
year and possibly reach, il not exceed
$40. 100000.
The precious metal production of
the county for 1907, excluding q large
number of small mines that produce
less than $3.50 a year, of which no
record is kept, is SS,675,536.99, pro
duced by eighteen mining companies.
OF these the United Verde Copper
company leads with a product of 81
0S0, 1861. The next highest on the
roll is the Ideal Mining company,
owning the gMcCabe and Gladstone
mines, which produced 1897 ,212.23.
The De Soto Mines company is en-
titled to third place, having produced
1921, 079.49, closely followed by the
Arizona Exploration company, owning
the Blue Bell mine, which produced
/ 1913 $3.50. Congress, which has been
on the producing list a number of
years. yielded S197,147.35 in gold and
silver, and the Poland Mining COM
pany, with its production of $780,
1852, is entitled to sixth place. The
Tiger Gold company produced $780,
$1,000.

than 100000. the Octave MINING
company leads with an output of @59,-

This furnace takes care of the fiue
dust and Stag from the conyerters and
is now accomplishing its work in a
satisfactory manner. At the Queen
there. is practically no construction

vlded for still other furnaces wien
the time and necessity arrives lrequir-
ing a greater capacity. Butt little
custom ore is now coming TO the
Queen as compared with the amount
which was coming from large num-
Der of properties a year ago. The
general opinion seems TO be that the
Queen Will not materially ineVease
production in the near future. The
production at the Queen last month
was little more than Z 100000
pounds, which with the c. and A.
production would bring the total cop
per production in Douglas for the
month of May to near 11,500,000
pounds as against a production of
about IA 900 900 pounds for the month
of May last year
While the contract has not yet
been awarded by the Shattuck-Ari-
iona company for the new smelter
which that company is TO erect at
Douglas there is no longer doubt
about the beginning of construction
on this plant in the near future. One
of the directors here last week told a
friend in this city, whom he had
known in the past at Duluth, that il
had been determined to build the
smelter and that work would be un-
der way within ninety days. The site
for this smelter is west Of the Copper
Queen and south of the Calumet and
Arizona. about one-half mile from
each. This smelter is TO contain two
furnaces Of 400 tons capacity each

AT NAcozARI

]. S. Douglas general manager OF
the MocteZuma Copper company, was
in Douglas this week from Nacozari.
He reports that one-half of the new
concentrator constructed by his COM
pany is now in operation. This con-
contractor is one of the largest in the
west and when the other half of the
mill is put into commission it will
have a capacity for handling from
1900 to 1000 tons Of ore daily. Be
sides the new mill the Moctezuma
company has during the past year
built a new powerhouse and will use
steam and electric power in the fu-
ture, doing away wl,h the old gas en-
CINE power which has been used in
the past
Considerable prospecting is going
on in the vicinity of Nacozari and al
so in the El Tigre country. Several
important discoveries have been re-
ported in both localities during the
past month.
Below Nacozari but little Is being
done in the way of mining at the
present time. Around Moctezuma one
or two rich silver and gold mines are
still yielding profit, but very little is
being done in the way of development.
The smelter of the Transvaal com
pany at Cumpas has been idle now
for more than. six months and the
company is doing no work in the
mines. The BeIen Mining company
has recently been compelled TO sus-
pend all work because of the failure
of the water supply for the camp
For three years nearby streams sup
piled plenty of water for domestic
purposes of the camp and for the
operation of the development machin.
cry, but this water has disappeared
because of the long absence Of rain
The smelling plant completed at the
Belen last winter had successful
trial run only and is now ready to sc
ahead with the reduction Of the Be
lon ores whenever a Sufficient water
supply is at hand. This necessity Is
expected TO be supplied by the first
considerable rain which comes this
summer.

News has reached here from Nc
Cabe of a very promising ore strike
made in the Apache Maid mine near
Huron, Wednesday night. The ore.
reported as being very rich, was
struck in a new shaft being sunk at
a depth of 100 feet. Only meagre
details of the find could be learned
but it is stated that the McCabe sec.
ton of the Big Bug district is excited
over the find.

a SUPERSTITION OF TARS.
Well-Grounded Belief Warshps Nam.
ed After Snakes Are Unlucky.


If one should be so bold as to char
acterize the superstitious sailor as
silly he would at once declare that
there is sufficient reason for his belief
and would proceed to prove that war
vessels named after singing and ven
omous things have been unlucky, and
that the country should not be so in
different to the men who follow "a
life on the ocean wave" as TO organize
mosquito feet, says the Navy
League Journal.
That Snake is regarded as an unfor-
tunate name for a vessel is shown by
the fact that two of that name have
been lost, one in 1881 and the other
in 1S47; but no vessel bearing that
name is known TO exist now. Serpent,
which is only a substitute name for
Snake, is an unlucky one also for the
one wrecked in 1892 was the fourth
British war vessel of that name TO
meet the same fate Viper has been
an unlucky name in the British navy.
The first one was wrecked in 1880,
but the admiralty would not swerve.
and so kept the name on the list, each
vessel meeting its doom. and the
fourth was lost only recently. The
French navy has also been unlucky
with vessels so named The Viper,
used i'm the British service after she
became a prize from the French, was
lost in 1893. The second was lost
a year later, the third in 1897, and the
fourth was recently lost in COLI
sion off Guernsey.
The Cobra, another British war vcs-
sci was lost recently at the same time
as the Viper Among other vessels
similarly named and which met their
fates other than in battle are the Rat
tlesnake. in 1881; the Alligator in
1882: the Crocodile in 1884; the Ad-
der, in 1916; three Lizards. two Drag
ons. and one Basilias All of these
were of the British navy. The list
could be made larger by citing the
record of other navies.
The Norsemen. who were so fond
of naming their vessels against the
laws of superstition and using hideous
heads of dragons and reptiles on their
high prows, were less unfortunate.
and these did not meet with frequent
disasters. They did have a belief.
however. that it was unlucky and a
sacrilege to select such a name as
did Lord Dunraven for his first yacht

the Valkyrie And this belief was
strengthened when she was sunk hy

with the same name gave trouble. and
she was broken up after only short
existence

Whether these will be refunded at a

the treasury surplus, and the fact that
the fiscal year about to close is likely
to show a deficit of over SG2 900, 900

unlikely; the treasury, however still

the increased output of bonds and
short term obligations, interest pay

There are expectations of a slightly

HOW COLOR AFFECTS GROWTH.
Result of Experiments Upon Plants.
Forcing Flowers by Anaesthetics.

Color agriculture is the latest, Cam
lille Flammarion put seedlings of the
sensitive plant into four different
houses an ordinary conservatory. a
blue house. an ordinary greenhouse, a
red house
After a few months waiting he
found the little plants in the blue
house practically just as he had put
them in They seemingly had fallen
asleep and remained unchanged. In
the green glass house they had grown
more than in the ordinary glass house,
but they were weedy and poor. in
the red house the seedlings had be-
come positive giants, well nourishec
and well developed fifteen times as
big as the normal plants. In the red
light the plants had become hypersen-
sitive. II was found that the blue
light retards the processes of decay as
well as those OF growth
Perhaps the most extraordinary de-
velopment is that of forcing plants
by the use Of anaesthetics. 1t was
the discovery of Or. Johannesen OF
Copenhagen. The plants are put into
a box into which ether is evaporated.
The heavy vapor descends and envel-
ops the plants After forty-eigh.
hours the plants are taken out and
placed in a dollhouse. The buds and
plants at once begin to spfout far more
rapidly than those plants that have
not been treated with anaesthetic.
Chloroform also can be used.
