GOLD BARS COMING IN.

Bars of gold in the value of si5OC were received yesterday by the Pres colt National Bank from the Tiger Gold company and the Congress Con solidated Mines company. The bars were the result of clean-ups of the mills after short runs. The three bars from the Tiger Gold company aggregated S20O0 and the bar from the Congress Consolidated Mines company weighed S2500.
 In addition both companies shipped carload each of the concentrates yesterday. The Congress concen- trates are of very high grade, while the Tiger Gold company's concentrate product is also of high grade, all though not as valuable to the ton as that of the Congress.
 Both companies have been on the producing list a number of years. The Congress mine is opened to greater depth than any property in the territory, while the ora Bella mine, owned by the Tiger Gold com pany, is also opened several hun dred feet deep and very extensively by drifts, cross-cuts and winzes.- Journal Miner.

M'KINLEY GROUP.
Extensive Developments Planned to
 Begin at Once.

Active operations will be resumed at | once on the Peacock claim, one of a group of thirty-one claims owned by | the Mckinley Mining and Development company, in the Copper Basin district, says the Journal Miner Charles F. ! Mckinley, president and general man. agcr Of the company, has let a con | tract to Roy Lamb and O. Holdren to sink the Peacock shaft to a depth of 700 feet According to a provision of 1 the contract the work is to be begun at once and pushed to completion with three shifts. The shaft is now down ] 200 feet As each hundred foot level is passed stations will be cut by the contractors, and from them several
 hundred feet of drifts and crosscuts will be run or the vein.
 The shaft is equipped with hoist ing plant having a hoisting capacity of 1000 feet The equipment includes
 a full set of mining tools so that every thing is in readiness to start the work
 at once.
 The thirty-one claims which com prise the company's holdings, cover a series of lodges and veins in porphyry
 and diorite contacts. Ore of good grade has been found on the apexes of some oc the lodges. The Peacock shaft is sunk near junction of two lodges of the series, which it is be- lieved will come together at depth of several hundred feet.
 The property is located seven miles
 west of this city, immediately cast>pf
 the main line of the s. F., r. & P.
 Iron Springs, mile and a half west
 is the nearest railroad station to the camp. A good wagon road leads from
 the shaft to Iron Springs and the To- cations cover never-failing swater supply.
 Water for a reduction plant can be developed at a dam site a quarter of a mile west of the camp, when the development of the mine justifies the i installation oc 9 mill.

ANOTHER GLOBE sMELTER.

From the Boston News Bureau it is learned that the Arizona Commercial Copper company IS now considering plans for the erection of it's own re- duction works. It is estimated a smelting plant of a capacity of 300 to 800 tons of ore per day would call for an expenditure of possibly $3OO,OOO and would take six to eight months to build.
 The company has been pushing de- velopment work in opening up the property and has pretty well exhaust ed the S250.000 raised two years ago. so that when money is raised for the purpose of erecting a plant sufficient additional amount will also be proVid- ed to complete development work so that no more money will be required.
 The question of new financing will receive the early attention of the di- rectOrs. and wiit- probably take the form of an issue of $5O0OOO per cent

THE OLD DOMINION.

Old Dominion has done very well since the first of the year in pro duction of blister copper, especially when the low price of the metal is considered, offering no inducement to the enlargement of the output.

Why is Thls2

We clip the following item from the
Grand River Local of last week, and we
are sorry to see it. These parties live
within three miles of Leon and either
the Grand River lumberman are able to
sell lumber for less money than those
in Leon or it is the result of advertis-
ing on the part Of the lumbermen Of
Grand River. Neither paper in Leon
carries any advertising for the Leon
yards:
Andrew Sells and L. Gibbons of near
Leon bought large bill Of lumber from
the Griffin Lumber Co. last week and
are hauling it out. There is some cause
for so many people driving through
other towns and coming here to buy
lumber. We noticed last week that
about every wagon that passed had
from few boards to load Of lumber on.

after bounteous dinner was served an
impromptu program was rendered.
Grandma CARRIER, as everyone calls her,
is one of the dear old pioneer ladies' Of
Decatur county, having resided in this
county for more than fifty years. She
has seen Decatur county transformed
from wild prairie to densely settled
farming community, she has seen the
change from the old wooden mouldboard
plow drawn by oxen to the up-to-date
four horse gang pillow, as we'll as the
passing of the cradle which is replaced
by the self binder, and from the old
lynch pin wagon to the automobile.
That she may be spared for many years
to come is the wish of all of her friends.

Child browns in Jar'of Water.

A most distressing accident took
place at the home of Drew Kelley, who
lives on farm in Long Creek township,
last Wednesday afternoon, resulting in
the death of their two year old baby
boy. A ten gallon jar was used as a
slop jar and was standing in the yard,
and in playing around the little fellow
in some manner fell into the jar, and
when Mrs. Kelley went to look for him
she was Mortified to see his little feet
sticking out of the jar. Frantically she
rushed to him but he was dead, there
having been just enough water in the
jar to drown him. Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley
have the deep sympathy of everyone in
their terrible bereavement.
