$lOO,OOO Cleaned Up.

A shipment of bullion was made from the North Star mine last Tues day, a week ago, representing less than 30 days clean up, and was a pleasing surprise even to the owners. This was the first shipment since the new mill was put in operation. As there is plenty more of the same ore in sight, the owners are naturally very jubiant. Forty men are now working and this force will be increased as they can be placed to advantage in the pro- gress of development.
 The North Star is the mine discov- cred by Felix Mayhew and has made him and his associates rich. They sold the mine to New York capitalists for $50, ,00O$, and the indications are that they will make millions out of their purchase. The claims are To- cated in northeastern Yuma county, not far from the famous King of Ari- zona.
 There has been considerable litiga- tion involving the property, but all has been settled, except suit still pending in which Dan J. Brislin brought suit for 30,000S claimed as a commission on the sale of the mine. At the last term of court the ury failed to agree and the case is to be retried at the October term. BrSlin' s attorneys are Timmons x Baxter of Yuma and Sullivan of Prescott.-Yu- ma Sentinel.

A Bigger Demand for the White Metal.

Washington, Oct. l.-Director of the Mint Leach announced today that he would this week resume the pui- chase of fine silver for subsidiary coin age. He states that he expects to pull chase about l25,000 ounces each week for an indefinite period. The first pur- chase may not be made until early next week.
 Director Leach said he was confident the purchases would be made as long as there was an active demand for coins. The mint now has on hand only about 5.000,000 ounces of fine sil- yer and this supply would soon be ex- hausted at the present rate of demand.
 Early in the summer the call for sil- yer dollars became more active and soon the supply was practically ex- hausted. Attention was then directed to halves and other subsidiary coins, with the result that now there is only about twenty-one million available, notwithstanding the fact that in Sep- tember 634, ,000$ in silver subsidiaries was coined and added to the stock on hand.
 Mir. Leach expects still stronger demand when the cotton crop begins to move and his decision to purchase more silver is in anticipation of this demand.

Work Ceases on Zuni Dam.

Last week the government quit work on the big Zuni dam in the south part of the county. About eighty laborers and sixteen engineers and rodmen were enga ged in the construction work The building of this dam has been go. ing on for the past four years.
 The dam proper has been completed for several months and at the time work ceased about three miles of ditch had been completed. The ditch con- struction had been in progress four months and about three miles remain yet to be completed. It is feared by the engineers that when the heavy floods come much of the work which has been completed will be destroyed and result in heavy loss to the govern ment. It is stated that although the dirt work is finished there remains a number of fumes to be completed and where these are located across streams, there is sure to be much of the dirt work destroyed and that unless some measure could be taken to preserve the ditch, much of it will be washed away.
 The dam is as solid as the earth it. self being $50 feet across at the top and thirty feet wide. It is 200 feet thick at the base. It has cost the gov ernment to build 263,000$. It is 75 feet high. and will create lake one and half miles long and three fourth of a mile wide. About 30,000$ has al ready been expended on the ditch and this is where the loss will be unless propriaton to complete the work the coming year.-Gallup Republican,

Mineral Specimens Desired for the
 Territorial Fair


 l We are very desirous of supplement- ing the minerals already received for exhibition at the Arizona Territorial Fair, and of having represented in this | department all the minerals found within the territory of Arizona. We now have represented most of the common minerals, but it is our desire to have more of the rare minerals such as moly ybdenum. tungsten, vanadium, quick silver ores and any other ores that Arizona produces.
 The Fourth Arizona Fair opens No- vem Der 9th and closes November l4th, 1908. All exhibits should be carefully marked, if more than one exhibit or class of ore is sent from the same mine, or from various mines owned by the same owner or company. The same class of minerals should be marked with the same number; that is to say, all pieces from one vein carrying the same value should be marked No. l, if different from the same vein No. ?, and so on; but if only one exhibit is sent from mine and another exhibit is sent from another claim owned by the same party or company, the frs t might be marked Mo- l and the second No. ?, to identify them.
 A letter should accompany the min erals sent by a party or company, and in this letter should be the numbers corresponding with the ore or exhibit. Each number should be followed by the county, the district, the owner, the name of the mine and the values.
 All exhibits in this department, de- noted as permanent exhibits, will be transported free from any railroad point in Arizona. The ores should be boxed, or, if the specimens are large, covered with burlap, so that they may be transported and handled without being damaged: and all the prospector or company will have to do is to box and ship their mineral to J. c. Good win, Manager Mineral Department Arizona Fair, Phenix, Arizona. Mark "Minera, Exhibit" and send the freight bill collect, and we will take care of it at this end.
 Ore should be accompanied by a sam- pie of the hanging and foot wall. Each exhibit should be from l2 to l4 inches long, about inches thick and s inches wide, though exhibits either larger or smaller will be accepted, but the best display will be made if all are about the size mentioned above.
 Where there are rich streaks of ore running through gangue, a ct Ter dis play will be made by sending the ore associated with the gangue than to break it up to try to show rich streaks.
 All minerals will be given promi- nent position and labeled in such a manner that they can be found imme- diately.
 All private exhibits placed on exhi- bition in this department will be care fully guarded and returned after the fair. Very respectfully, J. C. GOODWIN, Manager Mineral Department.

The thirsty who sought relief at the
Bismarck cafe, Main street and Wins
ton place, last night were turned away
by locked doors and dark surroundings.
The Bismarck is the polite name for the
resort known to its patrons and others
as the Bucket of Blood" Its proprie-
tor is Jack" Edwards, voted prince
of good fellows by his friends, and a
man with history.
That the thirsty and gore-seeking
public was turned away was due to
the canker of financial distress which
seems to have eaten the vitals of 'the
bucket" for yesterday the Leon Es-
CALLER company brought attachment
proceedings against Edwards on an
open account for liquors amounting to
1890. At 430 o'clock the sheriff served
the papers in a placid, matter-of-fact
way, and the bucket of blood was
turned bottom upward, for the night at
least, 1t is understood an effort will
be made to release the attachment to-
day, but it is also understood other
creditors are clamoring and that the
outlook for Edwards future is not
promising.
For instance, the brewery that con-
trolls the place has a mortgage on the
fixtures and is also protected with trust
deeds to Edwards property, 1t Is re-

was moved to Whittier.
The Sohm system has been suggest
ed as one which Los Angeles might
adopt instead of the Gamewell If it de-
sired to spend less money on the fire
department.
The patent is a push button annun-
poses, but declared by Superintendent
Frankhouser to be entirely unsuitable
for Los Angeles.
1.-THE system can easily be put out of

chance of ringing a second alarm. They
say you can telephone and telegraph
over the line, but this has been found
to be a costly practice on our wires in
the past.
II am opposed to all open circuits.
1t is cheaper, it Is true, but the insur-
ance companies will not stand for
them, their cost of maintenance is
high and If there Is no efficiency what
is the use of having a fire alarm sig

The Sohm people say their systems
have been found to work we'll and they
are anxious to establish an experiment
