belt of the Copper Creek region. In
this lime stone a quarry has been
opened. 1t yields first-class lime rock
for burning lime and for use as huN
in the smelter when the latter is
erected. From a contact between the
lime and quartzite is a ledge of eX-
cellent iron ore, which is also suitable
for use in the smelter as a fiuXing ma
terial. Among other groups of the
property are the Sycamore Flat, Cum
berland, Bellevue and Upper Group,
each possessing some distinct quality
valuable to commercial mining.
The Copper 'Creek Mining company
has completed nearly two miles of un-
derground development work and the
more important shafts have been sub
stantially timbered. The company has
erected thirty-five buildings, among
which, besides those already named,
are a bunk house, boarding house,
blacksmith shop, engine room and
hoist house. A large stone store build
ing and a stone warehouse are also
among the structures completed.
First-class wagon roads have been
constructed to all parts of the prop
erty and entirely across the mountain
range, connecting with the public high
way through Aravapi and sulphur
Springs valley on the east and with
the San Pedro valley on the west.
These roads were built at a cost of
more than $4,000 and have entirely
removed the only serious obstacle to
large and successful development of
the region.

JEROME, Aug. 8.-The work of drift
ing at Haynes Copper company has
been discontinued for a few days, owing
to the large inflow of water which the
pumps have been unable to handle. 1t

Claims Once Paid for Themselves

Owners Expect to Save 95
Per Cent

The little town of Havlah, once the
county seat of Kern county, will again
re-echo with the sound of blasting in
the old Rand Hill mine, as the Mineral
King Mining company has obtained an
extension on its bond and lease and will
begin work this week.
l.. J. Lord, the general manager Tor
the company will have charge OF the
finishing of the tunnel to the very rich
ore which was encountered when the
mine was flooded years ago.
Everyone who has known this mine
thinks- it will become one of the richest
in the state as some of the specimens
last taken out assayed from 81 to $3OOOO
a ton, and 800 pounds went $1,000
The officers of the Mineral King Min
ing company are very much elated over
the showing in the present tunnel, haV-
ing assays from SIT to $40 ton and
only $50 feet to run to encounter the
bonanza ore.
Col. Arnold A. Rand of Boston, FOR
mer owner and a trustee for the mine,
was out on a visit last year and claimed
everything for it's future that others
have. He bought the mine in 1857 for
SS5, 900 and paid for it out of the top OF
the ground in three months, and the
deepest he ever got was between 100
and 100 feet 1t then became too base
to work in those days with free stamp
mill. But now with modern methods
80 per cent of the gold can be saved.

enurred oI
other nations were to take part in the rehef ex'
nadi+iop and he wished the men of his own coun-
trv to show themselves worthy in the sight OF the
men of other countries
They did show themselves worthy, and they re-
sponded to the call of their commander with an
alacrity that made the American Leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with dlfhcutles
and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war
fare
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
believe that Cen Chafee did not sleep an hour
during the march to Peking. The soldiers who
made the march declare that the nights in China
black; that it is impossible to see anything at
all without the aid of artificial light and these in
the bvouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for
precautionary reasons. There was no definite
knowledge of the forces that might be in the path
of the expedition, and no one knew what surprises
the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers
say, constituted himself sentinel who refused to
be relieved from guard and through the nights he
alert and watching, and through the days he
was alert and marching.
There are stories by the scores of men who
supposed to bear charmed lives. The hero of the
book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds
rain, and in the reading of it one finds it hard to
believe that any truth could be stranger than this
fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear charmed
life he has the largest allowance of luck that has
fallen to any one man.
Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for
bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to
him for gallantry in the civil service and two
for gallantry in battles with the Indians. He
led cavalry charge over rough and precipitous
bluffs, where cavalry charge thought to be
a feat well-nigh impossible.
He rode at the head of his men straight into
body of armed Indians, scattering them but not
until they had poured voey after volley into Chat
fees oncoming command That charge gave the
soldier his brevet commission as a lieutenant
colonel
When the Spanish-American broke out
Chaffee was made a brigadier general of volun-
teers. He in the very thick of the fighting
in front of Santiago. Capt Arthur Lee, British
army officer detailed by his government to watch
the field operations in Cuba, attached himself to
the headquarters of Cen Chaffee. Capt. Lee wrote
a story about the campaign in which he paid to
Gen. Chaffee the highest tribute that it is possible
for soldier to pay to another.

powerful swimmer. On that night he swan the
entire distance around the bay, landing now and
then to get closer look at the enemy's water
front Notifications. He did this of any
sentinel If discovery had come it meant almost
certain death to the swimmer. He came back to
his starting point with full knowledge of the
strength of the Spaniards in heavy guns, and
when the time for the assault came, the infor-
nation was of priceless service.
Gen. Bell was called on while in the Philip
pines to end the war in Batangas. He ended 1t,
and in ending it he took the only course possible
"a course that the civilians at distance from
the fighting denounced as altogether too severe.
Bell was called a second Weyler, and a second
duke of Alva but when full knowledge of
his operations and of the craft and horrd cruelty
of the natives whom he was fighting, criticism
died. OF his experience and OF the criticism he
said in letter to a friend:
Knowing my dispoSiton and kindly feeling
toward the natives full well, you will have no diff
fcuty in understanding that the necessity for Sc
we're measures has been source of distress to
me. The only consolation l derive is by
keeping my thoughts the end and object in
view. When one has worked faithfully, consci-
entiously, and unsefishly for his country four
years, without relaxation or rest it is somewhat
discouragng, not to say distressing, to find that
even some of his countrymen appear to have
no confidence in his motives, judgment or integI
rity."
There is in mncing words; Gen Bell
is considered one of the most daring and dashing
officers in the American service. He wears
medal of honor for charging "singlehanded and
alone" body of armed Fipinos He shot
at repeatedly from every quarter but in army
parance They didn't get him. but he got sew
en- of them, not dead, but alive, and he led back
to the American lines, his sepet OF prisoners, all
covering under his pointed pistol, though every
man jack of them armed
If war were to come there is army doubt
although he is far from being the ranking officer
of the service, that Gen. Bell would be given the
chief command of the field forces.
1t needs neither the bearing the uniform
of Lieut.. Gen. Adna u. Chaffee (retired), to show
that he is soldier. You it in his face.
His expression is at mild and aggressive,
and the eye is purposeful Gen Chaffees name
comes most readily to the lips when is asked
to name typical American soldier.

Connellsville.-C production in
the Connellsville region recently has
beaten all previous records. The total
production in the Connellsville and
Lower Connellsville regions amounted
to 29S,4S6 tons in one week. The II.
c. Frick Company sent out orders for
putting in blast 2,400 more ovens. The
independent operators also put num-
ber of additional ovens in blast. The
average run for the plants was five
days. Some were in operation six days
and several were going full the entire
seven days. Generally throughout the
region there is renewed activity. Re-
pairs are being made, yards are being
cleaned up and preliminaries being at
tended to preparatory to the starting
up of more coke plants. Some of the
repair shops are working overtime.
The Frick car shops at Everson are
working overtime getting out mine
cars. Several of the Connellsville
manufacturing companies are busy on
new supplies for Independent COM
panies.

Straight into the village went Bell at the head
of his men. Dawn streaks were beginning to
show in the sky, but the warriors were asleep
past the ordinary waking for were not the SEN
tinels posted, and were they not bound by every
tradition of tribal honor to be awake and watch
full?
Lieut. Bell had given his men orders The viii

mousehole of escape. Bell has a whimsical

Gas old muzzle-loadng brass cannon, trophy
taken by the Tagalogs from the Spaniards of an
other day, and which the natives hoping to
use against the equally hated Americans. Bell
detailed q loading party of three men. The three
became boys again, and they rammed the piece
full of powder and grass waddng, after the
ner of loading Fourth of July cannon on the
village green in the home land.
The light of coming day was strong enough
for the conducting of operations. lanyard was
pulled and the brazen piece roared out its revee.
The sound of it shook the foundations of the Ia
galog huts; it reused the warrior sleepers as
would the cracking of doomsday. They
armed but naked to the fray. The Tagalogs looked
bayonet points and down gun barrels and sur
render came instanter.
Gen. j. Franklin Bell is the youngest officer
who ever held the position of chief of staff. He
is a genial general and he is willing to talk when
he properly may on the subjects touching his
profession. As the joker put it, he is Bell who
knows when to ring off. He avoids the sins of
silence and of speech, wherein he shows that he is
wiser in his generation than some OF his prede-
cessors in their generation.
When his promotion came the chief of staff
jumped from captaincy to a brigadier general
ship, and his tremendous rank stride did not bring
forth one word of criticism from soldier civil
liam Since then he has become major general.
The army officers who were jumped said that
Bell earned his promotion and that if other pro-
motions were, like his, based solely on service
quality there would be no heart burnings under
the blouses.

things from Gen. Chaffee. That OBJ
iect lesson doubtless has had some
influence in modifying the thougnt
which the orientals held that they
could whip the Americans out OF
hand. Gen. Chaffee was in command
of the expedition which went to the
relief of the beleaguered embassies
at Peking. Japanese officers ana
men saw him there. The general
won fame in China which is not
confined to the American continent.
The generals of Europe have Civ
en- testimony that Adna r. Chaifee
is a great soldier. Orders to take
command of the Chinese expedition
reached Gen. Chaffee while he was
at Nagasaki on board steamer
which was to take him to the Phlf
ippines, The order was unexpected,
and the general had practically no
chance for campaign preparations.
He was to go into strange land, to
lead an expedition against strange
people, and not only was it expected
of him that he be successful, but
that success be won quickly, for the
lives of many Americans were in
danger within sight of the walls of
the forbidden City"
The general arrived at Tien-tsin
too late to take part in the battle in
which the brave Maj. Liscum of the

should write of one of the deeds of j.
Franklin Bell. The general went over
to the Philippines as a first lieutenant
of the Seventh calavry, He had not
been in the islands long before he was
put in command of a volunteer force
composed almost wholly of regulars
whose terms of enlistment had eX-
pired, but who were willing to take on
a short term of duty to help in the
clearing up of the work which they
aided in starting.
Back IN one OF the provinces was
band of Tagalogs who had given the
government forces all kinds of trou-
BILE. One of their chief villages was
located" and Gen. Bell with his fol
lowing of old campaigners took the
trail for its capture. The command
ing officer had been through cam
paigns against the Sioux, the Apaches,
and other tribes Of the mountains and
plains, and taken more than one leaf
from the book of knowledge of savage
warfare.
Guides led the force to the vicin-
ity of the Tagalog village. Night fell
and the Tagalogs were all unsus-
picious of the approach of the white
enemy. At three O'Clock in the morn
ing, when sleep always hangs heavy on
the eyes, Bell led his men toward the
village. The Tagalogs had sentinels
posted along an outlying line. After
the manner of the people of the plains
the soldiers crept silently between the
pickets, only one of whom was vigi-
liant enough to detect the presence of
the enemy. He was silenced before he
