made between the 16th and 18th levels by an upraise from the former level.
 The diagonal crosscut driven from the main crosscut on the 18th level of the Great Eastern mine of the Super for & Boston to intersect the Black Hawk vein at a point forty feet west of where the vein was first struck, is now well into the vein. At this point the vein shows up even better than in the Black Hawk shaft. The hanging wall has not yet been reached, but no greater width is expected than where first encountered. A general sample taken ffrom the breast of the crosscut assayed 1852 per cent copper. S5 ounce silver, E per cent iron, 6.9 per cent lime. 12 per cent sulphur and 45.2 per cent insoluble. The strike proves the Black Hawk for 220 feet on Great Eastern ground and is con- sidered by the management to be the the most important development in the history of the company. The drift which is being driven from the Black Hawk mine along the vein is now loo feet into s. 6S B. ground. with no apparent change in the character of the ore

 Brace. who worked at the mine. helping his brother (who has a con- tract to operate the shaft for the Mascot Mining Company by unload ing the cars as they were sent to the top. was ascending the shaft and when only a few feet from the top his foot slipped from the ladder, and the unfortunate lad fell the entire depth of the shaft. a distance of siXty-three feet the force of the fall causing instantan- eOus death. His brother, who was on his way up. heard the cry of alarm from Brace. and attempted to arrest his fall was unsuccessful.-Saf Journal.

The Maggie vein on United Globe ground has been struck in the north crosscut from B shaft on the 10th lev e of the old Dominion ground. The strike promises to be one of the most important ever made by the old De- minion company.
 SUlphide vein No 1 in the west end of the old Dominion mine, has been struck in the crosscut on the 18th level from the winze to the 18th
 Second strike on Black Hawk vein made by Superior & Boston. Ore averages 131z per cent.
 So says the Globe Silver Belt of Wednesday and continues with the fol lowing details
 The Maggie vein was struck at distance of $50 feet from B shaft and although the vein has been cut for only few feet, the ore disclosed so far is one of the finest grades of sul- phide ore ever found in the district Assays have been made of it, and all though no definite information has been given out concerning the returns it is said to be a better grade in both copper and sulphur contents than that on the 16th level of the old Dominion. About two feet of soft ground was en- countered first and then a solid body of chalcoprite. About three feet of the solid ore had been broken into when work was temporarily suspend ed until the necessary timbering had been done The work of driving the crosscut further into the vein will be resumed tomorrow or Friday.
 Sulphide vein No. l was struck on the 18th level 95 feet from the winze and the full breast of the crosscut is in ore. The grade of the ore is si- milar to that along the footwall of the vein on the 16th level, running low in copper and high in sulphur. It is ex- pccted that a connection will soon be

 The company ha sa large amount of milling ore blocked out in the Buzzard Shadow shafts Nos. l and 2. the Buzzard, Gimini, Lillian, Sretta Walla, and Thompson tunnels and other gold claims. The rich gold strike made on the Buzzard Shadow mine continues downward and is looking ex- ceedingly encouraging and every in dication points to the fact that it will continue to great depth.
 MT. ". T. Newman, from Columbus, Ga who recently thoroughly eXamin- ed the property and was more than pleased with the outlook, expressing himself of the opinion that it looked better than MT. Degenar had intimated to him.
 This company has made more re- markable showing than any of the smaller companies in the district. From the very start it has been win her and the work done on the gold mines has shown up an immense body of gold and silver milling ore. besides several rich deposits throughout the lead.
 The Lillian tunnel is progressing rapidly and the ore which is in this tunnel has been found of a width over fifty feet, carries gold, averaging bet ter than $12.OO to the ton. of the character of the free milling ore. So that the erection of a mill is fully war ranted and once in operation the pre- dictions for the success of the com pany will have been fulfilled. The discovery in the Buzzard Shadow mine of this rich gold ore when the price of copper is so low is like a sun beam through a cloud. and prospects are in this locality for the development of one Of the best gold mines in the southwest

THE QUANTITY MADNESS

The old saying about the danger of having all ones eggs in a single bas- ket has been played to a finish. So desirous of scattering the eggs has the public become that nothing short of an omelet will do.
 Quantity means nothing. Don't in vest because you get vast number of shares for your money.

RARE MINERALS IN
 YAVAPAI PROPERTY
A New Discovery in a Copper Basin
 Mine Twelve Miles From Prescott.

In prospecting the Sink to Rise" and Satisfaction" mining claims. in the Copper Basin district, the owner. Ed Blockr~has discovered the presence in the ore of aluminium, magnesium and copper calcium, in addition to gold values ranging from $6.55 to s16.S5 to the ton. By a qualitative test it has been established that these minerals exist in the -paystreak, which varies from three to three and half feet in thickness. and MT Block is now having q quantitative test Of the ores made for the purpose of discovering if at least one of them, aluminium, does not exist in paying quantities.
 Aside from the other minerals, it has been found by actual t-sts that the gold can be extracted most econOmi- cally from the ores by the plating and cyaniding processes. He had a deter imitation made of the ores by the con centrating process which returned con centrates, carrying gold values of S122.50 to the ton. The ledge in which this peculiar ore is found is from ten to twelve feet wide, between well de- fined walls. and can be traced a con siderable distance. MT Block has small force of men on the ground de veloping both claims. The ground is located on the southwest side of Cop per Basin twelve miles from this city.
 Mir. Block, who also visited his Kirk land mining property. stated that his new working shaft is now down 140 feet and that a new flow of water has been struck, which is so Highly i'm pregnated with copper that pieces Of iron allowed to rest in it over night become heavily coated with green cop per showing a high percentage of the red metal in solution. There is a strong ledge Of ore in the shaft, carry ing copper and gold values In fact, Mir Block states. the claim never loo; ed better since its discovery than it does now. The vicinity of the vein is traversed by lime and iron dykes. which. Mir. Block believes. Is an ideal formation for a large copper Ill1a. The shaft is being pushed down as rapidly as possible on the ledge winch is considered among the most pr"mis- ing ones ever opened in the vicinity Journal Miner.

CALUMET & GLOBE TROUBLES.

At meeting of the local stockhold- CTS of the Calumet & Globe company. it was decided to vote sOlidly at the annual meeting of the stockholders on March 10. against the dissolution of the company, as proposed by the ma jOrity interests. IL is very probable. however, that the company will be dis solved and following the dissolution, suit will be brought against the direc- tors of the company by the minority holders. Although the plans are not complete, it is proposed now by the local stockholders to bring suit for the full value of the stock, on the grounds that the company with sufficient funds in its treasury to make the December payments and to continue development work, had relinquished the bonds on the Brewery and other claims on Low CT Pinto without consulting the stock holders, or making any effort to call in the $2.50 due on each share of outstanding stock.
 A peculiar feature of the coming stockholders meeting is the fact that no official of. the company will at tend it in person, but the the proxies of the controlling interest will be vot- ed by a local attorney. This phase of the matter came in for a great deal of adverse discussion last evening. The general opinion among those present was that the officials of the company did not care to come to Globe and make certain explanations which are very much desired.
 An effort will also be made by the local stockholders to secure an exten- sion of the bonds from the claim own CTS in order that the development work which was discontinued last December may be resumed.-Globe Silver Belt.

C. T. Roberts and l.. ZeckendOrf last Saturday when a report from Helvetia was received to the effect that the tunnel which is being driven on the Omega was in a good body of ore. The full breast of the tunnel was in ore and yesterday the same good re ports were received. IL is said that assays made Of the ore gave re- turns of f1.16 per cent copper The ore body had been anticipated by the management as the tunnel had reached a point directly under the surface croppings and the open pit from which several hundred tons of ore had already been shipped.-Tucson Star

day This ore body in all parts ex- posed up to the present time. runs bet ter than 10 per cent in copper. and carries values of s7.60 per ton in gold and silver. Estimating the costs of smelling at S3 per ton, the gold and silver values in the latest ore body opened up will pay these as well as the cost Of mining. leaving the copper value net 9rofit.
 With this new ore body the Shat tuck is in a still better position to make a record production as soon as arrangements can be made with the smelters for the handling of the ores. and there is no doubt in the minds of those in touch with the situation that within the next year the force em- plOyed at this mine will aggregate more than 100 men.

Too Good TO Keep.

There is a joke on a we'll known
man about town that is a triHe
too good to keep, although we
dare not mention any names. for
fear of getting a thrashing. This
particular man arrayed himself,
as be thought. properly to attend
the New Years reception, but did
not don a white shirt. His wife
induced him to further prepare
himself BY donning the aforesaid
white shirt. and all were ready
to 90. After spending a verv
pleasant afternoon. they returned
hone, and Mr.. Man wanted to
change back from the white shirt
to the every day blue. He hunt
ed for bis shirt, but in vain. He
got a little warm. He said Il put
it right up here ION the folding
bed) SO could have it handy when
l want,d it. and now it il gone.
1t the darn kids would leave my
things where l put them | would
have no, trouble" The darn
kids" and every one else about the
premises started to find his shirt
but without any success. He had
to continue wearing the white
shirt. That evening when be re-
tired he removed bis white shirt,
when 10 and behold the blue shirt
was just where be put it, on bis
back. He has since then had
nothing to say about tie darn
kids" not leaving his things
alone. For further particulars.

The Republican Contest For Governor.

From the big Sunday daiiies one
can get a fair idea of how the
light for the Republican nomina-
tlon for governor is progressing.
Among the late statements to be
issued is one by Mr.. Stubbs, de.
nying the allegation made follow.
ing his announcement that he
made a deal with Gov. Hoch in
volving the senatorship. Cy
Leland has issued a lengthy one
ono which he maintains that he is
in the fight to stay and in which
ne gives some history bearing
on the fight. which indicates that
Mr.. Leland and bis hackers have
just cause for grievance against
Mr.. Bailey in that the later had
agreed not to be a candidate, but
to support Mr.. Leland. As there
are only sixty davS to the day of
the convention medicine must be
made. quick. Mr.. Stubbs will
hold rousing meetings at Emporia
also one in Topeka on the 18th and
already has some ten or twelve
other dates pegged for speeches.
He has been making a number of
addresses over the state the past
year. preparatory to being a can.
didate for senator. all of which
will help him now. In McPher
son county the Stubbs sentiment
seems to be strong. while in Jack
son county the county committee
by vote of 12 to indorsed the
candidacy Of Mr.. Bailey. In
Ottowa county the Stubbs senti
mentis strong. In Barton county
it is hard to tell just yet what the
situation is. The alignment does
not seem to be wholly made up.

the above men were executive officers,
and the mine owners, which had rent

Through the confession Of Harry
