PAvO RICO YIELDS
 HIGH GRADE ORE

O. l.. Neer brought to the city last Saturday several pieces of ore taken from the Payo Rico mine. seven miles northwest of Nacoazr1. which is equal in richness to any ore ever ex- hibited in this city. being almost sol i'd silver and lead. This ore was en- countered during the past week at a depth of seventy feet from the sur face in a winze which is being sunk in one of the old tunnels run by the Atlas Mining company several years ago. Two pieces of this ore was brought to Douglas and they are now on exhibition at the office of C. A. Overlook, who, with Jim Finch. owns the property which is now under bond to MT. Neer.
 Carload Ready For Shelter.
 On Saturday the work of packing carload of ore from the Pavo Rico mine to the railroad for shipment was started and it is expected to reach this city during the next few days. The very high grade ore will be shipped from here to the smelter in Fl Paso while the second class ore will go to the Copper Queen shelter here. The rich ore from which the specimens now on exhibition were taken will run from 1000 to 2000 ounces in silver and 1t carries seven .ty per cent lead. This ore streak is said to be from eighteen inches to two feet wide, while the vein Is from six to eight feet wide. The second class ore is expected to run over $500 per ton. Five cubic feet of the rich ore will weigh one ton
 Nicer is Confident.
 Mir. Neer, who Is regarded as one of the best mining men in this sec ton, is highly elated over the recent disclosures in the aPvo Rico mine. He has held the bond on the property only during the last three months He has long considerd the property favorably and when he succeeded in tying it up he lost no time in begin ming the development work which he was confident would prove its rich. ness. For the purpose of developing the property MT. Neer organized the Consolidated Mines company and dis. posed of a small block of the stock to parties in Kansas City to secure a little money required to start the work. The bond has yet ninety days
 
 ore encountered will be sufficient to insure the closing of the purchase deal.
 The Pavo Rico is well located and is only two miles from the Nacozari railroad A practically level valley leads from the railroad to within a distance of one-half mile from the mine and a wagon road can easily be provided to the property without heavy cost.
 MT. Neer is entitled to congratula tion because of the results which he has already shown on the Pavo Rico as they point strongly toward the development of a property of grea' wealth. He has been mining in So nora in for a number Of years and there is not an American in that country better acquainted with the mining opportunities than he oi one who has more confidence in its future
 He intends to increase his work ing force on the Pavo Rico and while taking out and shipping the rich ore as he comes to 1t, still systematic lines will be followed with view oi putting the property in shape for the future.

teemed it highly as forage for the
horses of their army.
It's cultivation has been maintain
ed in Italy to the present time. From
Italy it was introduced into Spain and
by them carried to Mexico during the
Spanish invasion.
The Spaniards also took it to South
America where it now grows wild in
places.
From Chile it reached California
in 1854. 1t rapidly spread eastward

The Soft Answer That Was Returned
to the Challenge.
Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers. in her
Romance and Realism of the South
ern Gulf Coast" gives an account of
one OF the last challenges to a duel
which occurred In Louisiana. The af-
Ialr was between M. Marigny, who be
ionged to one of the Oldest families 1f
LOUISIANA, and a Mr.. Humble, a sturdy
e~x-blacksmith of Georgia, who had be-
come a man Of political consequence.
Mr.. Marigny took offense at some re-
marks Of the Georgian and sent him a
chalenge. The big ex-blacksmith was
nonplused.
Il know nothing about this dueling
business" he said. 81 will not fight
him" @
You must" said his friend. mo
gentleman can refuse,
i am not a gentleman" replied the
honest son of Georgia. 81 am only a
blacksmith"
but o will be ruined If you do not
night" urged his friends. "You will
nave the choice of weapons, and Won
can choose so as to give yourself an
equal chance with your adversary"
Inc giant asked time In which to
consider the question and ended by ac-
ceptlng: BE sent the following reply
M. Marigny:
accept, and in the exercise of my
privilege l stipulate that the duel shall
take place in Lake Pontcbartrain in
SIX feet of water, sledge hammers 70
De used as weapons"
M Mar1gny was about five feet
'ignt inches In height, and his adver-
airy was seven feet. The conceit of
ne Georgian so pleased M. Marigny.
Vno could appreciate a joke as well as
erpetnate one, that he declared him
ell satisfied, and the duel did not takA
lace.
