CCourtland Arizonian)

Two shifts of men are geeting out the ore as fast as possible in an effort to make up a car for shipment to- day. On Thursday representative of the Arizonian was on the ground and shown the workings which at that time consisted Of a shaft down 20 feet, and the width of the vein was feet. Last Sunday one of the par ties that had taken a bond on the property was digging in the formation in which the gold was first found, he decided to cut through to one side and in doing so cut into the real vein or ledge, which carries greater values than first found This ladge expands as they go down.
 175 sacks of the ore had been taken out at that time. The ground has been taken up in all directions run ming out into the valley and onto homesteads that are located on the unsurveyed ground In one instance, that of Mrs. T. Bennett, the ground ;s staked up to her house, which is more than half mile into the valley, but as the ledge seems to dip to- wards the valley, and keeps widening,

MINING NEWS IF HE PARADISE
 DISTRICT
Paradise Record)

The crosscut from the 120-foot lev el of the Doran & Gallagher shaft has been discontinued for the pres ent; but the drift from the crosscut, at about 25 feet from the shaft, is still being run.
 The face of the drift is looking bet ter. There is good deal more cop ped-yellow sulphides = this metal taking the place of white iron, which formerly appeared in abundance. The owners at one time made a shipment of ore from the property,-in fact. from a tunnel, not many feet distant from the shaft,-which yielded 26 per cent in copper.
 The ledge has not yet been reached.
 It is believed here. not only by the operators, Larrieu & Cross, but by practically all others who have Wis tied the property recently, that the Doran & Gallagher has the making of a mine in a short time, and that not a great deal of money would be required for pretty thorough demon stration of its merits.

BUILDING PROBABLY
 BE CONDEMNED

DOUGLAS, Nov. 3.-(Special.) j.
 Shortly before noon today an alarm of fire called the department to the corner of F. avenue and Eleventh street, where a blaze had been dis covered, which did not necessitate the turning on of a stream from the en- zine, but which was quickly extin- guished by a few buckets of water thrown upon it.
 Last spring the frame building at the Northeast corner of F avenue and Eleventh street was damaged by fire. The windows were broken in and the interior more or less burned and charred. Since then it has been per mitted to stand as it was. Someone, evidently, presumably a hobo or a tramp, has been sleeping in there on an old cot and under old quilts. This someone set the bedding afire, and 1t was this that caused the alarm. Within were quantities of rubbish, which also took fire. This blazed and smouldered and smoked The cot and bedding were thrown out where a bucket of water extinguished the fire and few more buckets extinguished the fire in the rubbish Who set the fire or was sleeping in the place is unknown.
 City Engineer Norton states that he will at once have complaint filed against the property and have it con demned and ordered torn down.

RAILROAD PRESIDENT ASHAMED OF PROFIT.

President Louis ". Hill of the
 Great Northern railroad estimates
 that the people who went west foi
 the FIathead and Occur d'Alene land
 lotteries paid the railroads $12,O0O,- 900 for transportation.
 His road got it's share. and he says
 he is heartily ashamed of it. lie
 wishes he could give the money back
 to the misguided unfortunates who let themselves be mislead by the gov ernment's operations into thinking that there was independence and per haps fortune ahead of them. All but very small per cent of these ad- venturers were out their money and their time, and many of them were
 out the good job they left behind them.
 A railroad president who talks this way is worth listening to. He shows the triumph of fairness and common sense over the immediate interests in profit and loss account. If a man who finds a sure profit in the government land lottery schemes condemns them, isn't it
 about time that the department off cials at Washington were widening up to the need of ending this vast ful haphazard system and substitut- ing something that won't injure the
 citizens who are lead to think they
 will benefit by 1t?

MILITARY POST
 ON THE BORDER.
tInternational American )

That the war department has come to a decision that it is advisable tc establish a new military post 1T Southern Arizona, near the border line between the United States and Mexico there is no further doubt This action has been under consid. eration for several years and now il only remains for congress to supply the necessary appropriation and the department to decide on the definite location for such post for the work to begin.
 It has long been known that Fort Huachuca was not a desirable place for maintaining military post becuse of its inaccessibilits and because of the lack of room for large post, such as is desired for this section of the country.
 The statement of General E. D. Thomas in this city last Monday that Douglas is the logical place for the border post which it is understood will be of sufficient size to accommo- date a regiment of infantry and also cavalry regiment, will encourage Douglas to assume that such will be the recommendation of the command CT of this military department when the time comes for choosing the loca- tion for such a post
 The location of Douglas is certain ly an ideal one for the military post to be located on the border The climate here is healthful, the water supply is abundant and of a quality equal to any to be found in Arizona or anywhere in the west Here is the clearest atmosphere to be found anywhere. One may stand in the middle of the Sulphur Spring valley and almost see a jackrabbit on the top of the Mule Mountains. For rifle practice there could be no better eli mate or conditions.
 A military post in the vicinity of Douglas would command both Doug las and Naco, where railroads cross the international line; at Douglas it would be at the very gateway of one of the most mineralized sections of Mexico, where within a few years there will be an immense population engaged in the various enterprises of that country.
 From Douglas it would be easy to reach any point in the southwest or any point on the border between Yu- ma and Fl Paso either over the Fl Paso & Southwestern or over the Southern Pacific.
 The chamber of commerce and mines of this city have already initi- ated the work of securing the location of this proposed military post in the vicinity of Douglas. Delegate Cam eron was interviewed on the subject on the occasion of his recent visit

Black Queen

The crosscut tunnel that is being
 run on the Black Queen property is
 now in, under cover, about BIO feet
 and the rate of progress is little
 better than a foot day, each, for the two shifts.
 A few days ago seam of tale
 about half an inch in width was cross ed, followed by the same formation felsite porphyry, which, however, is darker in color and contains some
 white iron. 4 little lime is also ap. bearing at intervals in the shape of spar. The formation, which prior to a few days ago, dipped to the south Towards the portaD, is now dipping to the north. Otherwise there is no change.
 Until there IS a decided change, or until the north side of this formation Is reached, no ore is expected to be encountered-and this porphyry may not be passed through for 10 to 20 feet or more. Yet it is believed here that ore would be struck if the tun- nel were continued sufficiently in it's present direction. In any event, ore could be drifted to from the proper point in the tunnel, there being 10 feet of ore in the drift from the bot tom of a 50-foot shaft, aDout 75 feet farther west.
 The present depth is estimated at 150 to 160 feet, though the exact fig ures are lacking.

A THREATENED LAW SUIT.

| News from Tombstone is to the eff feet that the board of supervisors yes terday ordered the contract entered into with Olson & company for the
 construction of the new county hos. pital cancelled and ordered second advertisement for plans and bids on this work. It was announced that
 Olson & company will bring suit
 against the county in an effort to compel the board to- allow the first contract to stand.
 If the first contract was awarded in accordance with the law govern ing the letting of public contracts, then Olson & company will no doubt be able to compel the county to stand by 1t. If the contract was entered into illegally, then 1t will be que.s- tion whether the contractors could not still recover damages against either the county or the individual members of the board of supervisors for the time and expenditures already expended on the contract by Olson & company.
 It is to be hoped that the law suit will not seriously delay the work Of constructing the new hopsital, which is an urgent necessity for the proper care of the indigent sick and afflict- ed of the county

 The electric hoist was placed this week at the Brown and the electricity will be turned on in few days when l the Casey will have their hoist in shape and the boiler and compressor at the mine will be brought to the power house and set up there, mak- ing boilers of 150 horse power each at that plant, all equipped with oil burners.
 Air is being used at the Mary, Ma mic and Casey, from the power house and all connections are made at the Brown.
 Work in the c. 6 A. properties is confined to drifting at the present time, which is being pushed ahead as i fast as possible.
 Electric lights from their own plant at the April Fool are being used at 1 each of their three shafts. Steam Is supplied at the different shafts by boilers of 300 horse power at the April Fool, 245 at the Germania and 120 at the Miami. while air is sup piled by compressoTs at the April Fool and Germania.

and also 1t was pointed out to Po5I- master General Hitchcock the advan- tages offered by Douglas as location of a military post.
 Here is work in which every cit izen of Douglas and in which every friend of Douglas should get busy in the work of making known the effort to be made in behalf of having this military post located here and in in- teresting influences which will b. valuable to the work in hand.
 Here is an opportunity to bring Douglas into greater prominence and to add much to it's prosperity.

The republicans succeeded in de luding enough democrats last fall by their deceptive cry and promise of statehood to secure the election of Ralph Cameron to congress. Having failed to make good on a single prom ise made last year, the republicans have been caught with the goods and will be turned down in Arizona next year by the largest majority ever recorded in the territory.
