IMPROVEMENTS ON THE SUNNYS|DE
 PROPERTY
(From Saturdays Daiiy)


 Yesterday the Elliott-Drescher Con. strnction company commenced install ing new Huntington fve-foOt mill for the Sunnyside Mining company, together with a 50-horse power boiler and other lesser mechanical utilities A heavy shipment of timbers and lumber for the construction of camp houses was also sent out.
 This group is under the superin- tendency of H. N. Coleman, and east of the main travelled road. The prop erty formerly belonged to Enoeh Will liams.
 Since assuming charge of this group the Sunnyside people have been ex- tensively developing it, and the show ing made after several months of practical work warrants the intro duc:ion of machinery to handle the ore, of which there are several hun dred tons available. The product is a gold one. The deepest shaft on the group is about 100 feet, and in addi- ton eross-cutting that is now going on shows fine condition of ore bodies in existence at every point cut into. The property has been quietly oper- ated for several months, and now that machinery is to be placed on it, to- gether with the favorable showing made, it necessarily attracts attention in mining circles.

whole, proved very satisfactory and
 showed what could be done by the
 present type of equipment.
 The party left for the Octave mine
 today, which is owned by the same
 interests that control the Central Ari-
 zona Power company. The Octave
 mine closed down temporarily on ac-
 count of the improvements to be made
 at the power plant, as the plant IS
 its only source of power. While the mine is shut down, its machinery will
 be overhauled and improvements made. The mill has capacity of 200 tons per day of 24 hours. As soon as everything is in working order, both at the power plant and at the mine, work on No. shaft will be started. This shaft is now 1,sOO feet but will be sunk zoo feet more. Drifts in this shaft will be sunk to connect with No. shaft in the west. The joker shaft which is 1,500 feet east of No. shaft, is 950 feet deep, but will be sunk to a level of 1,S00 feet, to connect with the 1,200-foot level Of No. shaft, as the r,sOO-foot level of the joker shaft is approximately the 1,2OO-foot level of No. 3 shaft.
 The ore indications in the above shafts are very satisfactory to the management. In the No. shaft a vein from four to six feet deep con- tains large quantities of ore, which runs about s to s5.5O in gold. No. 9 shaft contains large bodies of ore which are already blocked out. The joker shaft carries the highest value of any ore yet found in the mine, some of the samples averaging as high at $412 to the ton.
 From present indications the Octave will be a greater producer of gold iP the future than in the past, and it holds record, of producing about $1,750,000 in gold under its former Since the new company took hold of it, it is estimated that they spent for development work and so far, about a quarter of a million dollars, and at this time they are expending about $1O,OOO per month for new development work. In short, the officials of the company are highly pleased with the outlook of the property. Under the direction of its present general manager, Wal | ter W. WishOn, the work so far ac- shows that the previous re ports of the engineers are correct and | that the anticipations of the board Of directors are being fulfilled

SUPERVISORS WIRE
 FOR ROAD GRADER.
(From Fridays Daily.l
BEN. HENEY, Mayor of Tucson.

(From Fridays Daily.)
 Approaching the seriousness of the situation and the havoc wrought to the county roads by the storms of the past few weeks the board of super visors immediately after returning from Lynx Creek yesterday went into ses ion and authorized the Hill Hard ware company to telegraph to Kansas City for a reversible machine road grader, and requesting the shipment of the same at the earliest possible date.
 This machine will arrive inside of three weeks, and it will be put to work upon its arrival It will have plenty to do, as all roads leading to tBls city are in bad shape and re- pairs are needed. This grader is similar to the Murphy machine at present in use on the Norris drive, but is built on more substantial lines and has a heavier weight by over 1000 pounds. It is constructed of iron and steel, and not an ounce of woodwork is shown on it.
 It is capable of ditehing, grad ing and leveling the grade, and is equipped with blade attachment that can be used at any angle desired As it performs road work it also smOOths the grade, and is said to be the best appliance in use, being the latest model in this character of me ehanieal road building.
 Upon the arrival of this machine it will be placed at work on the Miller lane, thence on out to Williamson valley, repairing and rebuilding that roadway wherever it is needed. It requires from four to eight horses to operate it. The members of the board are to be commended in the of this machine, and if l rock breaking attachment was in- ,luded this county would soon have he best and smoothest highways in he territory.

Official action was taken yesterday by the board of supervisors on pc t5tion received from Walker, asking for the granting of an election under the local option law passed by the last legislature, prohibiting the sale of liquor. The residents of that district were authorized to hold the election.
 September 4th was set as the day on which the voters will have the right to determine whether it shall be e "wet" or "dry" zone. Support ing the wishes of the thirty-seven pe- fitioners, Messrs. ". s. Conner, A. E. Hurley, J. J. Milliken and George Henderson, appeared before the board in behalf of "putting on the lid, :" while the opposite side was without any representation. Accordingly it was unanimously passed by the board.
 In speaking of this movement, w. $. Conner says that no animosity is expressed against the use of liquor whatever, so far as he is personally concerned, but it is the desire of the people generally speaking at that point to abolish the saloon. He said: "If any one in that section desires to drink, and will carry to his home a jug, and there partake of it, he should be permitted to imbibe just as often and as freely as his appetite desires, but to congregate in numbers at a given place, as has been the GUS tom for over thirty-fve years, will be discountenaneed, and we have a ma

YOUNG WOMAN SUCCEEDS AS

ments and put in her crops, studying thor

SNAKE FARMING
Some Interesting Fads coneernins the
Uses 10 Which Reptiles
Can Be Put,

Snake farming, while not an attrac-
tive occupation, is, nevertheless. a lu-
crative one, and has more than one
votary in the Australian archipelago.
For years, says the Detroit News-Tri-
bune. it has been carried on by an in
dividual who, though disclaiming art,
seems to have an extensive knowledge
Of the reptiles and their habits. In ad-
diuon to the snakes he rears large
numbers of frogs and toads, partly as
food for the reptiles and partly for
scientific purposes. Tho snakes are
captured in the bush. The hunter en-
ploys a couple of forked sticks as a
means of capture. With ono the rep
tile is pinned to the ground by any
part Of its body, after which It is fixed
by the neck and thus rendered per-
fectly harmless. With one finger and
thumb, the captor grasps the head at
the sides of the jaws. The snake is
then dropped, tail first, into sugar
bag.
The snake farmer regularly supplies
the Sydney Board of Health with the
most venomous of the Australian rep
tiles, the tiger and diamond back
species. These are used In preparing
snake antidotes." Their venom is OBJ
tanned by a process called milking"
This is a most interesting process
Before milking time the snakes are
fed A watch glass, covered with the
finest gutta percha. is put into the
cage, which eXcites the reptile. It
bites viciousl yat the gutta percha.
leaving tiny drops Of poison on the
prepared glass. Numerous vicious
specimens are kept at the health Of
fees at Sydney TO be "milked" and
when they are worn out they are sent
bites to the farm to recuperate When
the snakes become useless for scien-
tihc purposes they arc sent to taxider-
mists or to geological gardens.
on tho farm the snakes are kept in
bags or boxes covered at the top with
fine wire netting. At the bottom each
receptacle is a little straw or a few old
rags. The venow that is obtained from
the snake IS understood to be of great
value as the quantity Is very limited
and rarely weighs more than a few
grains. 1t seldom loses any Of its poi
sonous qualities and has to be handled
with the greatest care.
