MINING ACTIVITY IN MOHAVE co. TIVITY ON THE TENNESSEE
 PROPERTY
Pleasing Reports from copPerville and
 the Cottonwood District.

Kingman, Ariz.. Oct. SO--tSpecial correspondence of the Republican)- James H. Hurin. of the Los Angeles President of the Tennessee Mining Co. is now in Chloride examining the com pany's property with d view of unwat- ering the mine and resuming opera tions in mine and mill. MT. Turin has spent the past two months in studying the most improved processes of treat ment in the lead and zinc districts Of Missouri. Illinois and Wisconsin, and believes he has found the best meth od of extraction for the Tennessee ore
 The Tennessee Mine. which is devel- oped by 500 foot shaft and several thousand feet of drifts. though idle for the past two years has produced in the aggregate more than any mine in the Chloride district. The ledge is from 10 l2 feet wide and on the lowest level the last work showed an ore shoot 300 feet long and averaging over S feet in width: at the present price of zinc all this ore will mill at good profit. The present tailing dumps of about 10000 tons. which by careful sampling are known to run from S4 to & in gold and silver and l61s per cent in zinc. will be worked over with ore from the mine.
 In the Cottonwood district miles from Hockberry Jim Brown has struck
Arizona republican., 1909-11-01

two feet of ss0 free milling gold ore, in fhe bottom a 20 foot shaft. and in the same vicinity McAbee and Me Bride at depth of 90 feet opened 4 feet of ore of the same character; IS inches of this latter strike assays little oyer S60, and the remainder Is a good grade of milling ore. These prop critics are in a district made prominent few years ago by the Copper Giant Mine. where in the bottom of a 1SO foot shaft there are feet of ore assaying 10 per cent. in copper and from to 10 dollars in gold. IL Is expected that the litigation which has stopped work in the Copper Giant will be settled out. of court about January lst.
 In the Southwestern Mine at Copper vile g miles east from Yucca, feet of good milling ore have been encoun- tered on the 800 foot level The ore contains chaIcopyrite carrying gold and silver values and with light quartz gangue is ideal for concentrat- ing. Asa result of the new find sink ing has been resumed at the 300 and will be continued to the 800 foot level.
 In the San Francisco District the owl prospect. on which strike of $10S ore was made a few days ago. has been bought by a group of King man men. The owl adjoins the Ruth Mine. and the new owners intend sink ing at once.
 A. C. Worden, representing Denver capital arrived here a few days ago and has started sinking on the Paddy Mullen property which he bonded sev eral weeks ago. The Mullen prospect is near the Tom Read and has a good showing. MT. Worden is also prepar ing to install machinery on the Red Creek group adjoining the Gold Road Mine on the north. The Red Creek is developed by an so foot shaft and the ledge at this point assays s15.
 In the Carter mine another strike of $125 ore was made yesterday after noon in a crosscut on the west end of the ledge at a depth of 150 feet. Sink ing will be resumed on the first of No vember and the shaft continued to the 25O foot level
 At Mineral Park. the Keystone mine bonded by R. s. Porter of Los Angeles a short time ago. is being unwatered and d contract has been let for sink iHg.

A Decision Will be Rendered by End of
 the Year

The famous priority suit of Hcrlcy against Abbott and almost everybody else in the valley. to say nothing of citizens scattered all along the Verde. is now near its end after having been in the district court for nearly three years.
 Proof in it has been heard whenever there was nothing else to engage the attention of the court and now 1t is presumed that every man interested has been heard One individual offered proof regarding his land last Saturday and Judge Kent announced that further proof. if any were offered. would be heard on November when the taking of evidence will be closed.
 Judge Kent is desirous of rendering a decision in the matter before the end of the year and six weeks is not too long time to weigh all that has been heard

ocToBER'S DREAM.

October led me to her dream. Closed in four walls of argent beam. While over it in waves did lie The ocean of the opal sky. She gave me for my feet a wing. I felt no tread of anything. So light with mist cf gold did sway The pattern of the gypsy day. Did she 70 cities take me? No, Nor yet to any earth below, But through enchanted worlds of glean October led me to her dream.

 He was glad to receive such cordial wecome, he said. It had been the kind of welcome which he has received In every part of the country where he has travelled from Seattle to Chicago, and from St Louis to Vicksburg The Pres ident spoke in a complimentary manner of American women and American men whom he said were about the same every where and after expressing regret that the programme had to be changed, closed his address, and was escorted into the club, where the senators, congressman and a large number of citizens were in waiting to receive him Here Represen- tative J. w. Collier of Mississippi in- troduced the President. President Taft took occasion to indorse in the highest terms the waterways movement, which. he said was an improvement desired by all but added that the main question was to defide how this work shall best be done. l
 The President left at 11:35 p. m. on the Oleander for Natchez, the others of the party following afterward. The Presidents party will probably arrive there shortly after o'clock tomorrow morning.

ELYTON INSISTS
 ON THE TRAILER

Unless the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company places trail CTS upon the Powderly cars by Mon day the town of Elyton will show it's hand and begin enforcing the ordS- nance adopted by the Elyton council several nights ago requiring the run ming of trailers.
 The street car company has not as yet signified its intention and it is matter of speculation as to whether the company will attempt to resist the en- forcing of the ordinance or not. Not only does this ordinance subject a com pany to heavy fine for the breaking of this law, but 1t also makes 1t pos sible to take away the franchise of the concern, and in addition places fine upon the motormen and conductors operating the cars without trailers.
 Elyton's action in the matter is be- ing awaited with interest by the thousands of patrons of this line, who have been complaining about the crowded condition of the cars during recent months. The street car com panys reply to former requests for th e operating of trallers was that 1t was impossible to secure the right to run a loop at Powderly around which the cars could run and go back to Bir- mingham without reversing the car.

of Jack -in- tn Box and The Candy Kid, form an amusing pair. True they fol- low a bit after Montgomery and Stone, but little copying is allowable when it Is good. Al Grady as '-rhe Friendly Bear was decidedly a treat. So far stage animals are concerned he is about the best of the wild beasts that has appeared in Birmingham. Frances Carrier In the role of Jack Frost, displayed about the best voice in the troupe. Adele Oswald as "Stalacta" is able to take the notes all right but she fails to put any expression in the tones. Pearl Beware as little girl, Florence Smith as an Eskimo maid, and Walter s. Wills as westinghouse Morse" hustling inventor, were good, the girls being especially cute.
 The plot edges bit on "The Land of Nod" taking a child on an imaginary trip to the north pole and to the City of Illusia. It introduces a female i'm personator as the queen-which is enough said.
 Taken altogether "The Top O tn World" reminds one very forcibly of a high-elass burlesque show with cer- tain features eliminated. While the company is large the chorus was lack ing in pretty faces and couldn't sing, and the costumes were very much soiled With the original New 1ork company 1t was probably great show. but with the present company. ex- cept Bailey and Austin, it is not to compare with other good musical com edies
