MINE MERGER WITH CAPITAL
 OF s1O,OOO,OOO
Involves Holding of Silver Min
 ing Company, Consolidated Gold and Copper Company and Miller Mining Company.

One of the biggest mining deals oi the past year has just been eonsum mated in this city. The deal involves the merger of the Mexican holdings of the Silver Mining company, Consali dated Gold and Copper company and the Miller Mining company. The new is known as the Kansas-C Can NEea Copper company, and is capital ized at s10.000, 900.
 David Miller, the president of the new company. has been working On the deal for the past four years and had completed all preliminary steps toward the Organization year ago, when the slump came Miller and A. B. Wadleigh, secretary of the new company, left yesterday afternoon, the former going to Chicago, the latter to Cananea.
 In an interview yesterday afternoon Miller spoke of the new organization as follows:
 The properties of the three com panies involved in the merger are contiguous and comprise a total of about trirty-fiye acres. The proper ties are entirely surrounded by the holdingsTof the Greene-Cananea com p%E-. The capital for the consOlida- tiGsf of the three companies has been furnished by men of New York, Chica- go, St. Louis and Philadelphia, and is sufficient to insure the thorough de yelopment of the property.
 The Southwestern has been oper- ating for the past four years in the Cananea district, and on the Marita claim two very promising ore bodies nave been already shown up. Ship ments from it assayed 20 per cent. Machinery and other equipment neces- sary for some time to come are already in use. A. B. Wadleigh, who has been most efficient in the management On the Southwestern, will be manager for the company
 The merits of the properties in- volved in the deal have been exam ined for the original owners by Fritz Harrington and Smith & Laird of your city, and it was upon their recommendation that the work was continued The new stockholders in the company have also had the prop erty thoroughly examined. and all of the reports have been Highly satisfac- tory to them.
 The new company will make it's headQuarters in Bisbee and in the course of the next thirty to sixty days we hope to begin operations in Can anea on a large scale. The opening of the Greene-Cananea mines has en- couraged the outside companies and there is every indication that this sec tion of the mining world will see it's most active period.
 The new company will take over the assets and liabilities of the OTtega Mining company's new holdings for the Southwestern, under whose direc- ton the work has been carried on
 The Kansas-Cananea Mining com pany is backed by ample capital, by men who have made their investment after the most competent engineers in the United States have assured them of the value of the property. and tha camp will be surpassed in the extent of it's operations in the Cananea dis trict by only the Greene-Cananea company. That it will mean much to the future of the district goes with out saying.

 During the past twenty-two days MT. Cooper has been in Minneapolis, the sale of his preparation has aver aged about two thousand bottles day. When the amount of medicine disposed of throughout the state is added to this, the amount will be doubled. Therefore, the young man has sold in twenty-two days eighty-eight thousand bottles of his medicine in the state of Minnesota alone. which is a truly re- markable record.
 During the past week so many hum dreds of Minneapolis people have been calling to thank Cooper for the good he has accomplished with his medi- cine, that it is safe to say that his visit will long be remembered by the sick of the city"

The remarkable success that has at- tended L. T. Cooper during the past year has not been confined to any one locality but is so widespread that the young man is now well-known figure in most of the leading cities of the country.
 MT. Cooper believes that the stom. ach is the foundation for most i'll health, and claims that his prepara- tion, by regulating the stomach, is Q true specific for most diseases. The following extract from the Tribune of Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur prising number of people who are ac- cepting Cooper's theory.

early as 1869 Prof Charles F. Dowd

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
Twenty-Five years ago today took
place that worldwide evolution in
measuring time--the adoption of
the standard method in the United
States, whose example was fol-
lowed later by other civilized coun-
tries. Previous to Nov. Is, 1888,
the methods of measuring time in
this country were so varied and so
numerous as to be ludicrous. There
were so different standards used in
the United States from coast to
coast, and on one road between
New York and Boston, whose act
ual difference is IL minutes, there
were three distinct standards of
time.
Even small towns had two differ
ent standards, one known as
town" or local time and the other
railroad" time. Naturally this
condition Of affairs caused endless
complications, and railroad Off.
Gals were harried to the point of
despair to their efforts to make
out time tables that could be under

There were many minds which
