ReOpening The StOnewaII Mine.

superintendent V. Y. Smith, of the
McMillen-Stonewall Mining company,
came in last week from the McMillen
camp. To a Silver Belt representa-
tive Mr. Smith stated that he now has
his force well organized and they
were making very good progress with
the development work.
The shaft has reached the depth of
$50 feet and is going down three to
four feet a day, with three shifts
working. At ninety feet d crosscut
has been driven sixty-five feet to a
connection with the old workings,
which has greatly improved the ven
tilation. The vein where intersected
by this crosscut is forty feet wide and
assays about seven ounces in silver.
1t is Mr.. Smiths intention to sink
the shaft to 300 feet before crosscut-
ting and exploring the vein. At that
depth, according to miners who work.
ed in the Stonewall Jackson mine
twenty-eight years ago, there is a
very rich and large ore shoot that
can be easily opened from the new
shaft.
Those who know the history of the
old mine are confident that the efforts
of the present company to reopen and
operate it profitably will be entirely
ccessful.-Globe Belt.

of Cananea Boom For
Business.

While in the city with Mrs. Proctor
and on their way to the coast for an
indefinite stay, Frank L. Proctor, who
is closely in touch with all the mining
and business conditions in Sonora and
particularly in Cananea, talked very
hopeful of the situation.
Reference was made in the course
of several conversations he had with
various friends, to the reopening at
Cananea and he declared that not on
ly was it permanent but that the
force of men employed and the extent
of the reduction work would both he
steadily increased as conditions war
ranted them. The recent overhaul
ing of the property had greatly in
creased the ease and facility of get
ting ores and handling them after
wards and this decreased the cost of
production. Mr.. Proctor thinks that
copper will undertake a slow but
steady rise and that it can be pro-
duced profitably by many of the small
er companies in the very near future.
OF business conditions in Sonora
and the big mining district generally
he says: ''The opening up of Cana
nea has naturally given d great i'm
petus to that entire section. Busi-
ness conditions generally are on an
upward trend and there is every
reason to anticipate a prosperous
year ahead of US. Where there is
labor there is money, and where there
is money in circulation, there are
bound to be both good times and pros
perity. Employ is much more
easily obtained now than for many
months past and that in itself means
an era of good business. ."-American.

II Feet of Ore at AndersOn-Apache.

No. I crosscut in the Anderson
\ pache mine, from which a large
quantity of ore is now being taken
for shipment to the Copper Queen
smelter. is making such a splendid
showing under the development work
being done by superintendent l.. X.
Honlton that the management in this
city is greatly elated. That crosscut
is in seventeen feet of high grade ore,
it i announced. AS the stoping con-
tinues they are breaking from ten
foot breast and driving north. Mr..
Houlton has also commenced five
by ten-foot raise.
From this working, ore is being ex
tracted at a rapid rate and twelve
tons are being hauled daily from the
mine to the station at HaChita. 1t is
estimated that No. alone is produc-
ing ore at the rate of $500 a week
Another carload of ore is on the
road to the local Smelter, another is
ready for Shipment at HaChita and
ore is now being accumulated for d
third carload.
The management of the company in
this city does not attempt to conceal
its sa tisfaCtion over the strike in No.

said Charles H. Howe, the local jew
eier and one of the directors, this
morning, ''but it's even a bigger
showing than we really expected" y

Bad Features Outweigh Good Ones in
Proposed Mining Law.

The Mining Journal says editorially
of the proposed new mining law in the
Mexican republic:
''By virtue of an act of congress of
Mexico, passed February, 1903, the
President was authorized to reform
the present legislation relating to
mining and was given the alterna-
tive prerogative of decreeing the re-
vised mining code law, or submitting
it to congress for action. An able
commission thereupon was appointed
by the secretary of Fomento, acting
under the executive direction, and
this commission and an advisory body
later appointed, went eXhaustively
into the whole subject of the mining
laws and prepared d new code which,
with some important notifications
notably the so-called 'anti-foreign'
clauses, was recently made public
upon the occasion of the meeting of
the Mexican Chamber of Mines.
The new code, besides being a
much needed and apparently careful
ly complied simplificatIon and har-
munization of the various mining
statutes and decree, includes d num-
ber of progressive and advantageous
provisions. All this has, however,
been lost sight of in the wave of OPP
position to the antiforeign clauses. "

Birds Destroying Telegraph Poles.

Birds are destroying the telephone
and telegraph poles in the south and
southwest, particularly in Texas. Ari-
zona and California. In some places
fifty per cent of all the poles along
the right-of way have been riddled by
innocent offenders, which belong to
the woodpecker family.
One OF the Western Union officials
who has recently returned from an in
spection through the west, reported
having seen twenty-five telephone
poles with two or three hundred holes
drilled clear through them. Some of
the holes were three or four inches in
diameter.
In some cases destruction of the
pole takes only few months and the
weakened condition makes it danger
Gus for lineman to climb the stick.
The real objects of the birds in drill
ing the holes is uncertain. One tele-
phoue man said that the humming of
the wires was mistaken by the birds
for insects eXcavating beneath the
surface of the wood, and that they
drilled the holes in quest of these i'm
aginary insects. 1t is very probab BILE.
however, that the holes are eXcavated
for an entirely different purpose. The
woodpecker is a provident bird. AT
the proper season it stores up a sup
ply of acorns and other foods for fu-
tire consumption. In the summer
these holes are often found stored
with acorns.

MAY ASCEND THE BENCH.
Report That Attorney General Is Soon to
Succeed Judge Campbell.

According to report that is being
generally circulated, Judge John r.
Campbell, of the First judicial dis
trict, which includes Pima and Yuma
counties, will shortly retire from the
bench to engage in private law prac-
tice.
1t is said futher that his successor
will be Attorney General f. S. Clark,
of Prescott, who is one of Governor
Kibbey's appointees and close friend
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft. ~
Judge Campbell is at present in
California enjoying a short vacation
and no confirmation of the report that
he will resign could be secured from
him.
It. is said also that Judge F. S. Nave
of Globe will also retire from the
bench. He will engage in private
practice, lis said, and it is reported
that Judge Nave and Judge Campbell
will form a partnership in Tucson.
1t is known that Judge Nave is
about to have improvements made to
his residence in Tucson and this has
given added confirmation to the re-
port that he will shortly return tn Tue
son TO reside. Judge Nave's health
has not been very good since he has
been living in Gila county.
Judge Campbell has been on the
bench for three years. Previous to
his appointment he was assistant
United States attorney. He came to
Tucson from Danville, Illinois, which
is the home of Speaker Joe Cannon of
the House of Representatives. Judge
Campbell is an intimate friend of
Speaker Cannon, who was one of the
unsuccessful aspirants for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination and one
who felt the weight of the "steam
roller" used by the Taft forces at
Chicago.

THE NATIONAL GUARD DOING
GOOD WORK.
Good Reports Are Expected From the
Shooting Team at Camp Perry.

Though Colonel J. H. McClintock
has been back from Camp Brodie for
a couple of days, the national guard
news of which he was possessed has
not hitherto been published. The
camp which was established this year
for the sole purpose of trying out the
marksmen in the national guard, for
the selection of a team to enter the
competitive shoot at Camp Perry,
closed a week ago.
The following day twelve members
of the shooting team, three alternates
and three team officers left tor Camp
Perry for a week of practice shooting
on the range there, previous to the
beginning of the competitive shoot
which begins Monday. The team is in
much better condition than last year
for as Col. Coggins says, "The boys
head and less with their eyes and fing-
ers." Moreover, they are equipped
with guage glasses and other para
phernalia. Last year the Arizona
team ranked eleventh from the bot
tom in the competition, but it expects
to move up this year at least ten
places.
1t is expected there will be about 45
teams in the competitive regimental
shooting. They will represent the
different state and territorial national
guard organizations, the regular
army, the navy. the military academy
and the naval academy.
The California team went through
Ash Fork last week in private car.
Last year it stood twenty-fourth from
the bottom and expects to do Letter
this year.
Since the camp disbanded Col Nc
Clintock inspected Company F at
Prescott and Company in Flagstaff,
and issued orders for the election of
a successor to First Lieutenant Chew
erton of Co. F and Captain Hochder-
fer of Co. l, both resigned.
Speaking of the national guard of
the territory as a whole the colonel
said it is now on a business basis and
is coming along finely. In Flagstaff
special attention is being paid to tar
get practice. Company L is better
equipped in respect of range than any
other company in the territory, Capt.
Hochderfer having established fine
long and short range near the city.

Conditions Better at Bisbee.

Speaking of Bisbee mining condi-
tions TO a Tucson Star representative,
Hoval A Smith said that Bisbee mines
were all running full handed and with
gradual increase in the price of cop
per aud the corresponding increase
in the price of copper shares, the Bis
bee district was fast resuming normal
conditions.
Mr.. Smith gave it as his opinion
that work would soon be commenced
on the Shattuck smelter at Douglas.
It is understood that the plans have
been accepted and work will begin
shortly. The Shattuck has many tons
of high grade ore blocked out in the
mine ready for the smelter as soon as
it is completed.
Mr.. Smith stated that the impor-
tant mining news of the Warren dis
trict was the strike of ore on the 18th
level of the Junction mine of the Su-
perior & Pittsburg company. The ore
was encountered at point under the
business section of Lowell and in the
direction of the Dem mine and is a
favorable indication of what the DEM
may expect with greater depth.
Continuing, he said: Il never saw
things, after a slump, look more prom
ising than they do now. I have been
watching the business conditions for
the past two months and there is ev-
cry indication of a return of prosper
Gus times. The opening of Cananea
was very tangible boost for this
country, and with copper going up,
surely, even if gradually, as it is,
there is no doubt but that mining ac-
tiyity on an extensive scale will soon
be apparent.
"Down at Bisbee the merchants are
already beginning to feel the effects
of the upward tendency and business
there is more lively than it has been
at any time during the past year.
The slump never did completely Grip
pie Arizona and I thing what i'll ef-
fects it produced are now about over"

Readers OF the Phoenix Republican
will recall that when the First Ma
tional Bank of Bisbee failed last fall
the territory had a deposit of funds
in the bank amounting to S25, 900 and
as security for which the bank had
placed in the hands of the territorial
treasurer government bonds to the
same amount. The bonds could haye
been disposed of at once when the
bank failed but in the hope that it
might be able to resume they were
held by the treasurer until recently.
When hope of an early resumption was
abandoned the treasurer, through the
Phoenix National Bank, forwarded the
bonds to the National Park Bank of
New York, to be sold. Word has been
received that the bonds have been
sold for $25, ,96l.15. With the inter
