GOOD SHOWINCS.
Santa Cruz County Mines Continue to
Forge to the Front.


at the Pittsburg mine, in the Santa
Rita mountains, is now down al
most two hundred feet. From the
160.feet level a crosscut was run
north, cutting the ledge eighteen
feet from the shaft and cutting
through eight feet OF good concen-
trating copper ore. Sinking was
continued and the shaft is now bot
toned in ore Of very good grade,
much higher grade than that en-
countered in the ledge north of the
shaft. Cutting the ledge and again
cutting into ore in the bottom of
the shaft, also increased the flow of
water into the shaft, the inflow be-
ing greater than the small pump
in use could conveniently handle.
The showing, however, is so good,
that t. A. Cox, general manager of
the Arizona-Pittsburg company,
owning the property, has gone to
Pittsburg to talk matters over with
the directors of the company in re-
gard to putting in heavier mach
inery.
At the Saleros mine the main
shaft is now over three hundred
feet deep and still going down.
Crosscutting TO penetrate the ledge
will be done at depth of five
hundred feet. This property has
been prospected to depth of about
FIVE hundred feet with diamond
drill and the general presumption
is that the Saleros Mines Company
knows already what will be cut at
that depth.

six hundred feet wide, which is |
about the width of the outcropping
on the hill. The main tunnel, run
in from the south of the hill, some
thing over seven hundred feet, has
cut (crosscut) into the ore body,
about 275 feet, but is not being
driven any further at the present
time, the operations in that tunnel
now being confined to drifting east
and west in the ore, because the
tunnel from the north side will cut
through the same ground 140 feet
higher up. AS soon rs the north
tunnel is in far enough to he con-
nected by raise with the main tun-
mel, letting II II current of air

will be increased and the ore body
properly shown up. In the lower
tunnel a winze will be sunk two
hundred feet in the ore body and
drifts driven east, west, north and
south through the ore at that
depth. AS that will bring the
workings below water level,
higher grade ore is expected. The
Four Metals is attracting consider
able attention in the mining world,
Judging from the number of Wis
itors at the camp during the past
couple of months. Scarcely a week
passes in which the mine is not
visited by from one to three mining
men and mining experts from diff
ferent parts of the United States,
all of whom are shown through the
mine. Some of them have tried to
talk sale, but there seems to be
nothing doing in that line. The
writer has the information direct
from the management of the COM
pany that the mine is not for sale
just now and that no offer will be
considered till the development
work planned and now under way
has been accomplished. The talk
of one-hundred-to concentrator,
INDUCED in by the owners of the
Four Metals mine, when the south
tunnel first cut into the ore body,
has been forgotten. With the work
now done there is ore enough in
sight TO feed a one. thousand-ton
concentrator. 1t is similar in
character to the ore in the big low
grade mines of Butte (The writer
has worked in several of the big
mines of Butte) and as in the Butte
mines the ores lies between granite
walls.
About the seventh or eighth Of
next month a party of dozen
officers and principal stockholders

Mr.. Johnson states that many of
the land owners in the valley of
the Fuerte are taking up the culti-
vation of tomatoes, canteloupes,
etc., for the American market. In
many instances they are backed by
San Francisco or Los Angeles COM
mission houses who advance them
money to plant and bring on their
crops, and then when ripe buy the
produce in the field, attending to-
all the details of picking, packing
and shipping, reimbursing their
advances with moderate interest.
In that way some of the rich and
fertile soil of the Fuerte that has,
been devoted heretofore to the cul-
tivation of staples such as corn,
beans and alfalfa or sugar cane, is.
going now into truck gardening
AS the product gets to market at.
least six weeks earlier than any
thing from California, it is expected
it will command gilt edged prices
and realize very handsome profits.
This is the first season of the new
cultivation, and if successful it will
become an extensive and perma-
nent resource.

that he is determined upon one
reform, and that is a law that news

Constantinople. April 25.-A Turkish
diplomat Izzet Fuad Pasha, has been
the victim Of an extraordinary adventure.
as the result of which he is now a pris-
oner in Constantinople.
Until a few weeks ago he was the
Turkish Minister at Madrid, a great IA
vorite at the Spanish court, and in high
favor with the Sultan. He has just pub
lished a book on lost opportunities in
war, a volume which earned him warm
praise from European authorities. But it
seems to have aroused enmities at Con-
stantinople. and Izzet Pasha's influential
foes laid a treacherous and successful
plot.
He was reqdested TO return from Mad

Army Corps in Macedonia. His inclina-
tlons being more military than diplo-
matte, the minister was delighted. and
hastened to obey the urgent summons to
Constantinople.
When he got there he was informed
that there would be some delay before he
could assume his new post. Then he was
told that another position was being
found for him. Finally, five days after
his arrival. policemen approached him as
he was leaving the Pera Palace Hotel

creasing the prestige Of the papacy in

The Catholics Of both dioceses. how

their local rights and traditions had been
violated, and demanded that the Pope
should revoke the decree of union. The
Vatican vouehsafed no reply to the petit
ton, and the faithful, whose patience
WAS Overstrained, marched to the num-
sber Of 1900 upon the bishops palace,
where they smashed all the windows
and hauled down the episcopal arms over
the entrance. They next took the cathe-
dral by storm, put to flight the canons
who had assembled for divine Office. and

The Interpretation put upon Il in

Of course, would have been to present
the flag to America and the bugle to
England, but. Mr.. Astor's peculiar char
acter is not built on those lines. He saw
an opportunity to emphasize his new al
legiance at the expense of the old, and
he did il in the most offensive way
possible.

well-known social ambitions at the hands
of the King, he has made a serious mis-
take. The powers that-be in this country,
