| LEASERS WORKING
 CENTENNIAL
Silver Ore Taken Out Car ries 450 Ounces to
 Each Ton

At the Centennial mine, located in the Copper Hill district about six miles east of Globe, Harry Zsehoegner and w. NJ. Davis, who have a lease on the property, are continuing work along conservative lines and practical ly paying the expenses of operations from shipments of both high and low grade silver ore, which carries also fair values in copper. Between forty and fifty tons of ore are being shipped monthly to the Old Dominion shelter. The shipments last month amounted to forty tons. The present shipments consist almost entirely of the low grade material which runs about sixty ounces to the ton in silver. The high grade ore carries about 450 ounces of silver to the ton and, also, contains about s per cent copper.
 Most of the work in the Centennial mine is, at present, being done in a drift 400 feet long which runs north east from the shaft on the 300 level. At a point 300 feet from the shaft, winze has been put down and drift has been driven from this winze to open the vein. To open this lower drift the ore is being broken down from the stopes from below and good results are being obtained by this economical method of mining produc- tion. The low grade and high grade ores occur in two parallel veins with thin partitioning of rock between, so that both can be extracted with com paratively little trouble.

WARRIOR SHIPPING
 GOOD TONNAGE
Churn Drills Coming Soon
 for Use in Further Development

The mine of the Warrior Develop ment company continues to ship from sixty to seventy tons of 10 per cent copper ore to the shelter weekly All the stopes in the Warrior mine are now being worked and the result in each case is all that the management antc- ipated and in some cases has exceeded expectations as to the grade of ore broken down. The advance work in the drifts and the raises during the past week have added materially to the high grade tonnage of the mine.
 On the 300 intermediate level, raise Number 36 has been in 20 per cent copper ore throughout the week and has developed large body of ore of this exceptionally high grade in this part of the mine. Raise Number 37, located 100 feet west of raise Mum Der 36, has been put up through ten per cent ore during the week and in this place good body of ore has been open. ed up,
 The west drift on the 300 level of the Warrior mine is now in 10 per cent ore with every indication that an ex- tensive body of this class of ore will be developed.
 The operations in the Warrior mine have been most satisfactory, taken as a whole, and the company is wholly satisfied with the outcom eof the work on the property since it was acquired on Octobed l. Two churn drills have been ordered and are expected to be on the ground in about two weeks.

ARIZONA MICHIGAN IN LEDGE ROCK Good Force of Men Contin- ues Development of
 Telfair Shaft

A force of about twenty-five men under Superintendent N. A. Nelson is continuing the development of the Arizona Michigan mine in the Copper Hill district of the Globe quadrangle. On the 800 level of the Telfair shaft the crosscuts north and south are being extended through extremely hard ground, for the most part diorite. The north crosscut is now 227 feet long and the length of the south crosscut is 23O feet Eventually, both these crosscuts should cut veins carrying good values in copper, as the surface indica- tions are very encouraging. Consider able iron pyrite at present prevails in the ground through which the cross cuts from the Telfair shaft are run ming.
 In addition to the work being done on the main shaft, the Arizona-Michi- gan Mining company has a number of men engaged in assessment work on the Blackbird, Defender and Old Do minion claims. A prospect shaft IS also being sunk on the Old Dominion fault which cuts the property and ex- cellent malachite ore is being encount- cred in this shaft which has single compartment. The shaft is now about twelve feet deep and is being timbered as it is sunk. At it's present depth the shaft is still in ledge matter.
 General Manager s. w. Clawson of the Arizona Michigan Mining company came to Globe Monday night and has spent several days at the mine. He left for Los Angeles yesterday morn ing

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 unseen 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 Spanards 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 it,
and in ending 1t he took the only course possible
"a course that the civilians at distance from
the fighting denounced altogether too severe.
Bell was called a second Weyler, and second
duke of Ava, but when full knowledge came OF
his operations and of the craft and horrid cruelty
of the natives whom he fighting criticism
died. or his experience and of the criticism he
said in letter to a friend:
Knowing my disposition and kindly feeling
toward the natives full WELL you will have diff
fculty in understanding that The necessity for
we're measures has been a source of distress to
me. The only consolation / can derive is by
keeping my thoughts on the end and object in
view When one has worked faithfully, consci-
entiousy, and unsefshly for lis country four
years, without relaxation rest, it is somewhat
dscouraging, not to say distressing, to find that
even some of his countrymen appear to have
no confidence in his motives, judgment integ-
rity."
There is in mincing words; Gen. Bell
is considered one OF the most daring and dashing
officers in the American service He wears
medal of honor for charging 'sngle-handed and
alone" a body of armed Filipinos. He was shot
at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army
parlance: They didn't get him." but he got
en- of them, not dead, but alive. and he led back
to the American lines his septet of prisoners, all
covering under his pointed pistol though every
jack of them was armed.
If war were to come there is no 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 r. Chaffee (retired), to show
that he is a soldier You can see 1t in his face
His expression is at once mild and aggressive,

to name typical American soldier

Straight into the village went Bell at the head
OF MS men, Dawn streaks were beginning to
show in the sky, but the warriors were asleep
past the ordinary waking, for were not the SEN
tlnels 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
lage was cordoned with troops and there wasn't
q mousehole of escape. Bell has a whimsical
humor. In the very heart of the Tagalog village
was an old muzzle-loading brass cannon, trophy
taken by the Tagalogs from the Spanards of
other day, and which the natives were hoping to
use against the equally hated Americans. Bell
detailed loading party of three The three
became boys again. and they rammed the piece
full of powder and grass wadding, after the
ner of loading a Fourth Of July cannon the

The light of coming day was strong enough
for the conducting of operations, lanyard was
pulled and the brazen piece roared out its reveille
The sound OF it shook the foundations of the Ia
galog huts; it reused the warrior sleepers as
would the cracking of doomsday They came
armed, but naked to the fray. The Tagalogs looked
on bayonet points and down gun barrels and sur
render came instanter.
Gen. ]. Franklin Bell is the youngest officer
who ever held the position of chief of staff He
is 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 were in their generation.
When his promotion came the chief of stan
Jumped from a captaincy TO a brigadier general
ship, and his tremendous rank stride did not bring
forth one word of criticism from soldier or 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 service
quality, there would be no heart burnings under
the blouses.

They did shcw themselves worthy, and they re-

alacrity that made the American leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with dhcuues
and dangers almost unparalleled In modern war
fare
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
believe that Gen. Chaffee did not sleep an hour
during the march to Picking, The soldiers who
made the march declare that the nights in China
are black; that 1t is impossible to anything at
all without the aid of artificial light and these In
the bvouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for

of the expedition. and no one knew what surprises
the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers
say, constituted himself sentinel who refused to
