ern tour he invested few thousand dollars in Miami lots. William Jenningt Bryan happened into the seething little burg about week ago, and expressed his enjoyment of it's cheerful and snap py progress. Other distinguished visit ors to Arizona have not failed to call at the territOry's baby municipality thus lending to it the finishing touch of cosmopolitanism.
 At present Miami has railroad, sev, eral lumber yards, stores, restaurants butcher shops, weekly newspaper that soon will become daily, postmaster postoffice in the making, water works that is being installed as rapidly as contested freight trains can deliver the material, telephones, 8 few thirst resorts, and all the various institutions that go to make a modern city. Its only essential deficiency is the lack of lodgings commensurate with it's grow ing population, the tide of soiourners and settlers being always a few jumps ahead of the efforts of builders to keep pace with the demand for sleeping quarters.
 Taking it all in all, Miami is splen- did illustration of the irresistible ad- vance of the southwest, and it requires no seer's preseienee to know that it will write vivid chapter in the story of ArizOna's future.

able to Him who built the universe. Most of the toilers in Miami, more over, are carpenters, who may feel that their SabbatIcal neglect will be looked upon with indulgence by the Father of that other toil-stained workman of Nazareth who was member of the craft.
 The lack of legal illumination is proving no greater hardship than the lack of Carnegie library and golf links. In adolescent cities men are too preoceupied in the beginning with es- sentials of progress to daily with the intricacies that Blackstone compiled, and for the few little disputes that can not be disposed of with laugh, right swing carries concurrent jurisdiction in law and equity. For the space of q few days recently, however, it seemed within the probabilities that somebody might get metamorphosed into col lander by some educated Arizona gun.
 Lured by the growing value of Miami and hoping to avail themselves of some fancied opening of the townsite s -neighbOrhood to entry, several enter. prising citizens came Miami-ward at 'hN hVul SidNNn sup posed to yawn The eaid citizens were variously armed Gas became peaceabIe yeomen in quest of ground to file upon as homes) with six-pistols, splatter guns and other utensils of industry.
 The guards upon the property were aware of their coming, however, and stayed them in their march, Had such situation developed in literature the staccato bark of the forty-fve (fron- tier model) would have rung out upon the midnight air--but there was nary ring. The following night the armed con course again came showing their mum. Der twelves through the dust Miami ward, but again they were out of luck. This time the guards took away their shootin irons, and once again nothing rang out upon the midnight air--unless cuss words are supposed to ring.
 And so did Miami allow to pass an opportunity to adhere to the conven- ventions which make it obligatory upon a new Arizona town to be bad actor during it's youth and muss up the land scape with perforated citizens and pow der smoke.

and the shaft has now passed through it. The ore taken out in the course of the shaft sinking was of the ehalcoeite formation and was of an excellent com mereial grade. When the 275 foot point is reached, level wln be established just as soon as a stump can be cut and drifting toward the ore body will be commenced. Barring any unforeseen delay, the work of cutting the station and beginning the drifting should be undertaken during this week.
 The management of the Inspiration Copper company IS making definite plans for extracting the ore which the mine workings have already developed. For while, the advisability of mining the Inspiration ores with steam sho- vel equipment was seriously considered, as the capping that overlies the ore body is comparatively thin. It has been decided, however, that cheaper meth cd of extracting the ore will be to drive tunnels into the hillside and to put up the raises from these tunnels. The ore can then be broken down and removed from the mine through the tunnels This tunneling work will be commenced in the Keystone gulch, few hundred
 
 feet southwest from the Joe Bush shaft. A large air compressor to run the ma chine drills necessary m this work has already been shipped from Chicago AS soon as this compressor reaches the mine, it wlil be set up in the Keystone Gulch and the boiler plant to furnish power for it will be installed at once The compressor is. of 1855 horse power Two boilers of 100 horse power each will also be installed at the Joe Bush shaft, as the one in use tnere at present is inadequate.
 The Inspiration Copper company has just completed the construction of five new and roomy cottages for the use of the married men in it's employ. These cottages are located in the Inspiration gulch, just east of the eompany's gen eral offices. Other dwellings will prob ably be built soon.
 General Manager George E. Gum of the Inspiration Copper company, who makes his headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, visited the mine Thursday and Friday. After carefully inspecting the results obtained in the recent de- velopment work, he expressed himsIf as being very much pleased with pro gress made and said that the record of the Inspiration mine so far had been one of unbroken prosperity.

INSPIRATION GIVES WORK ID NEARLY
 HUNDRED
Plan to Mine Ores by Steam Shovel Method Has Been
 Abandoned

Development work on the property of the Inspiration Copper company in the Miami district is being pursued at the usual rapid rate with force of about ninety-fve men employed. The points of greatest activity are, of course, the Joe Bush and the Scorpion shafts.
 The crosscuts which are being driven north, south, east and west from the Joe Bush shaft on the 800 level now have an average length of TO feet and each one of them has been in good com mercial sulphide ore since work on them was begun. By means of these cross cuts the boundaries of the Inspiration ore body are constantly being extended, so that, in the course of few months it will be possible to estimate tonnages with reasonable degree of accuracy.
 The Scorpion shaft, located about g.. 400 feet northwest of the Joe Bush shaft, is now 265 feet deep. The ore body which this shaft encountered at a depth of 140 feet dips to the southward

CORDOvA UNCOVERS CHALCOC|TE ORE
 IN JENNIE
Good Indications That In spiration Ore Body Ex-.
 tends to Cordova

An important result obtained in op- erations on the Eureka group of the Cordova Copper company's property in the Miami district is the opening of a body of chaleoeite ore in the Jennie shaft, on which work was begun about three weeks ago This shaft is now eighty feet deep. A few days ago a change of ground was encountered and siace that time the degree of mineral zation has been constantly increasing. The ore prevailing at the bottom of the shaft at the present time runs about one and one-half per cent copper and the management of the mine is conf dent that higher percentage of cop per will prevail within few days, as greater depth.
 It will be remembered that the Joe Bush shaft of the Inspiration property which adjoins the Eureka group short distance from the Jennie shaft, struck chalcocite at depth of ninety feet and continued in that material down to the 5l0 foot level, where sinking was dis continued temporarily. Considering that the ehurn drills of the Inspiration Copper company have encountered, dur ing the past few weeks, large body of sulphide ore at point not over 200 feet away from the location of the Jen- nie shaft of the Eureka group of claims, there is every reason to believe that the same ore body underlies both the Inspi ration and Cordova properties. If this is the case the operations on the Flu reka group in the immediate future should place the Cordova mine in the

NEW FIELD FOR WOMEN.

The English women are delighted over the recent appointment of Miss Sophie B. Jackson as school physi- elan of the Crydon Borough. She is the first woman who ever held such an office in England. Of course, the English women hope that, while Miss Jackson is the first to occupy such a position, she will not be the last, nor the only one in years tc come. They feel that once the be- ginning is made the good work will continue and that thereby new feld of usefulness will be opened to the professional women of England.

PARADISE FOR FISHERS.

A large force of men is still at work on the Long Key fishing camp, which bids fair to become one of the most popular fishing resorts in the United States. The main building is nearly completed and the cottages have been made better than new. In the winter adjacent to Long Key the tourist has but to make his wants known as to what kind of fish he wishes to catch, and the captains of the various boats will land him there and very soon the fun is begun, and lasts until the manipulation of the rod and reel gives up in sheer eX- haustion.-Jack jacksonville Times-Un- ion.

WoMEN's FEET GROWING!

Prof. Gieler of Munich, after ex- tensive study in Europe and Amer lea, has come to the conclusion that women's feet are rapidly growing larger. The time may come, he says, when in the matter of feet there will be little difference between the two sexes. He has made careful measurements of the proportions of feet on ancient statues, and has com pared these measurements with the feet of modern women, always to the advantage of the latter. He at- tributes the change to the growing taste for walking, athletics and other outdoor exercises. Frenchwomen's feet are increasing in size at a rapid rate.

CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.

Hot onions, according to a French physician, are said to be a sure cure for pneumonia. The remedy is as follows: Take six or ten onions, ac- cording to size, and chop fine, put in a large pan over a fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vine- gar enough to make a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer for five or ten min- utes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by re- heating the poultices, and in few hours the patient will be out of dan- ger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too often fatal malady. Usually three or four ap- plications will be sufficient.

PULLS" FROM THE BENCH.

Some excellent bulls are credited to William Arolin, who was a Lon- don police judge in the '30s of the last century. He once remarked to counsel: 'If you can show precisely at what moment the olfense was committed and prove that the pris, oner was not there when,he did it he could not possibly have done it. And he sagely added: "We cannot diycst ourselves of common sense in court of justice" Of a similar character was an axiom he once de. livered himself of, which has been maliciously fathered on many othel occupants of the bench: 'If eyer there was a case of clearer evidence than this case, this case is that case" !"

TO PHOTOGRAPH LIGHTNING.

The best way to hold the camera to photograph lightning, says the Scientific American, is to place it close to the body, tiIting it somewhat upward so as to get as much of the sky in the picture as possible, and swinging the body from side to side. The time and angle of the swing can be regulated with little prac- tice so as to be fairly accurate. With the utmost care, however, the ele- ment of luck enters into the work to considerable degree, and the game is one of patience and per severance.

FORTUNE FOUNDED ON PIES
Welshman Rose to High Financial Pc sition from Exceedingly Humble
 Beginnings.

How a poor English boy who never learned to read or write until the day of his death rose from a humble pie-yender to be a successful fnancier and left a competency es- timatcd at $5,000,000 is shown by 3 study of the life of the late Solomon Andrews, who recently died at Car diff, Wales, at the age of 13 years, As lad he began his first business venture by hawking tarts and pies which he had baked. This humble beginning led to other enterprises. until he finally owned tramways in many Welsh towns; omnibus lines in Cardiff, London, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Manchester; a coach-building factory, rab-yard, furniture-removing establishment, restaurants, 30 coffee houses, confcc- tionery shops, print shops, groceries, mines and quarries in North Wales, landed property, half of the town of Barmouth and the larger part of Pwllheli.-Harper's Weekly.

TASK TO TRY THE PATIENCE
JigsaW Puzzle Can Be Made Really Hard If One Goes About 1t the
 Right Way.

"The jigsaw puzzle may be very difficult at frst,' said victim of the rage, "but after you have put one together few times it comes easier to you. Somehow you get the hang of 1t, and you get actually to recognize some chunk that fits into the trunk of tree or the leg of a horse or the feather on a hat, and pretty soon you may come to be able to put this puzzle together rather rapidly and you say to yourself; Oh, that isn't so hard
 But if you want something hard just turn the blocks of the same puzzle upside down and get the plain side of the wood up, no pictures, no lines, no guide whatever in putting them together, just those jiggly blocks with perfectly plain surface, and then try putting the puzzle to- gether.
 "Then you'll find yourself with a job on hand that will give you some- thing to do sure enough, that will tax your patience really"
