CENTENNIAL

At the Centennial mine, which is one of the oldest workings in the dis trict near Cameron. sinking and drift ing is going on under the direction of W. NJ. Davis and Harry Zschoegner, who. have leased the mine from the owners, Jim Lewis and Charley Holds man. The lease runs until January l and the holders of it have an option.
 The Centennial shaft is down 300 feet, and on that ltvel drifting IS going on, and both high and low grade ore is being shipped to the Old Domin. ion shelter. A gasline hoist is being used in development work. About sew en men are at work, and since May when the leasers first struck ore in quantities, about 30 tons have been shipped. For small plant the equip ment is excellent, and by persistent drifting and sinking, much. higher grade ore should be struck within q few months.
 The Centennial mine is considered, chiefly, ss a silver proposition, though the percentage of copper is fairly high. The highest assay made rturned 47l ounces of silver to the ton. The low grade ore runs from so to 100 ounces of silver. The percentage of copper in

cHRIsMAN & GLOBE

The town of Cameron on the Chris man & Globe property lies in the midst of one of the greatest outcropP'ngs Tn the world. About a month ago, Assure vein six inches wide at the surface and widening with increased depth was dis covered. Within ten feet from the surface it is fully foot wide. The ore from this assays about thirty ounces of silver to the ton and also contains some gold and copper.
 At a depth of 50 feet in the Aishaft of the Chrisman < Globe mine, ten foot drift has been made and ore has been taken out that runs $6 ton in gold, shows five per cent copper and also quantities of silver. From a 5o- foot tunnel not far away, ten per cent copper ore has been found, and this ore, also, has good values in silver and gold. In one place within 30 feet of the surface on the Chrisman X Globe property, gold and silver ore has been found showing values of $l pound. On the same claim as the A shaft, and about l50 feet distant is the E shaft from which ore netting 24 per cent copper was shipped last year.
 On the townsite of Cameron William Bernie of this city is building con crete store 24 feet square. Six wagon roads converge on or near this town site, and Henry Mounco' s ranch nearby will furnish many supplies such AS meat, milk and ranch products to the people of the new camp. The coming of the railroad will make the growth of this camp certainty, and in such an event, it will become a distributing center for wide area of mining eoun' try.

NEW YORK, June lS.--The contest between opposing forces in the stock market today was quite lively while it lasted, but was over in the course of the first hour of trading.

LOCATED IN MIDST OF RICHLY UNPARALLELED SECTION ON
 PROPOSED RAILROAD
MINING CLAIMS LOOKING WELL
SINKING AND DRIFTING GOING ON AT CENTENNIAL, IN
 SAME SECTION

Tn the mining district that lies north eastward of Copper Hill, the new town of Cameron is quietly growing up in the manzanita to the dignity of being, at some time not far distant, thriving camp. The growth of this town will be great source of convenience to the men who arc working the mines that lie around it. Already, a general store is in the building, and a number of sub stant;al concrete houses have been erect ed The only good water well within miles is located on the townsite and this supplies water to several of the sur rounding mines.
 The resources of the outlying coun- try of this new camp are unquestioned. Among the propert' 'es which have given great promise of yielding rich ore are the Superior & Globe, the Centennial the Iron Horse, the Joe Sabourin claims, and many others more remote but un' doubtedly as good. The Chrisman & Globe property, on part of which the town of Cameron is being built, shows ore that will make positive its ulti- mate development into something ap- preaching a bonanza. Two shafts on these holdings are not now being worked, but operations will be begun with renewed activity as soon as the railroad extension from Cutter is built. The surveys for this road have been made and it is expected that grading will be begun as soon as the contrae- tors are through with their work OF the right.of way of the Miami exten' sion. Isaac Chrisman, secretary and general manager of the Chrisman & Globe Mining company, is personally experimenting the upbuilding of the new camp.

BISBEE, June lS.-Shortly after 10 clock Wednesday night, fire broke out in the c. $ A. sawmill near the mouth of the Irish Mag shaft and ul- timately oceasioned 8 loss of approxi- mately $30,000, besides at times threat ening still greater damage and more serious consequences. The sawmill and blacksmith shop were completely des troyed and the maeiiIe shop was par italy burned and seriously damaged
 For an hour and a half the fire ragged near the mouth of the Irish Mag shaft and for nearly an hour of that time the fire was beyond control and was only ultimately conquered by the fiercest kind of fighting The blaze started in ,hc sawmill, it is said, from defective wiring, and rapidly spread to the blacksmith shop, which was also consumed, and to the machine shop, which was somewhat damaged by the flames, but the large pile of timber, said to be worth $50,000 and the shaft house were saved through the strenuous efforts of the fire fighters. Here was a great danger, for with any men under ground. shonld the hoist have burned, the results might have been serious to the miners. But good work won the fight.
 Water was obtained from the Gar dener and the Irish Mag shafts and sev- en or more streams were kept playing on the blaze. At one time the flames had worked their way to within forty or fifty feet of the big timber pile and here they were checked and driven back

 On another occasion the fire drew to within 30 feet of the shaft house and here again came bitter but decisive battle and again the fire fend was checked in due season.
 It was eleven o'clock, about an hour after the fire was discovered, before it could be said that the flames were real iy under coEtrol and a half hour or more later before they were entirely ex- tingushed and the crowds who had been attracted by the scene turned back to Bisbee, Lowell and surrounding points, for the blaze upon the hin had attracted crowds from all directions Colonel Powell coming up from his home in Warren in his White steamer, and ! others of the company hurrying to the Il

PHYSICIANS STATE
A QUEER CASE
Little Gertrude Flood, Patient Suffer
er From a Disease That is
sapping Her
Life.
END rs NOT VERY FAR OFF
For the Past Six or Seven Years, the
Brave Little Girl Has Been
Suffering Most
Patiently.

A particularly sad case, that of
a little girl, slowly battling against
death, with a sweet hopefulness that
has characterized her short life and
has endeared her to her hundreds of
friends is here in Keokuk, but is not
generally known.
Gertrude, the little fourteen year old
Flood, of 913 Timea street, for a num-
Der of years has been a patient suf-
ferer from dread dropsy and heart
trouble. About seven years ago. fol-
lowing an illness from scarletina, the
little girl was taken quite i'll and
following shortly on her first illness
from the scarletina. her condition be-
came alarming and was probably
much worse than at the present time.
For over six years she has been I'M
der the constant care of physician
and everything that loving parents
and brothers and sisters could do,
supplemented by the best medical
aid, was done for the little girl whose
condition at the present time, is such
that she cannot long survive and at
any time her death may be expected.
The heart has been dilated to such
an extent that the organ can not
properly circulate the blood and ply
sicians state that the case of Ger
trude Flood is probably one of the
queerest known to medical science
from the nature of the disease, which
has manifested itself in number OF
unusual ways. Restoratives and med
icines, are administered to her and
for time. a rallying condition is
noted, but only for a very short time,
then conditions resume their former
self and it is now only matter Of
weeks or days when the brave little
girl will be called.
The case is extremely sad. The lit
tie girl has combatted with her dis
ease with patience but slowly and
steadily the days are passing by when
the little heart will cease to beat
and death will claim the little life
which has been full of brightness
through much suffering and pain.
