SENATOR BRANDEGEE'S
 REVENGE
Postmaster Who Supported Hill Held Up in the
 Senate.

Washington, Jan. 22.-An echo of the recent senatorial contest in Connecti- cut was heard in the rejection by the Senate yesterday of the nomination of George I. Allen. who was appointed to succeed himself as postmaster at Mid dletown. Senators Bulkeley and Bran degee joined forces for the purpose of defeating his re-aDpointment because. it is alleged, he had taken sides with their political opponent.
 Allen has been postmaster at Mid- dletown for number of years. Four years ago he supported Governor Bulkeley for senator. He was not then reappointed the name of another can- didate having been sent in by the President. The senators stood by AL len and. although two or three ap- pointr1ents were made. there was no confirmation, and Allen continued to serve.
 When Senator Brandegee came up for reelection, Allen, it is said, work ed in the interest of Representative Hill Senator Brandegee won and AL len, after being denied reappointment for two years. was named by the Presi- dent to succeed himself. and the nomi- nation was sent to the Senate. As the senators were in harmony in opposing Allen. the Senate. according to a long established principle, voted at once to uphold their position. Meanwhile AL len will continue as postmaster.
 Hartford. Jan. 22.-It was currently rumored during the senatorial contest that one night Senator Bulkeley ap- preached Representative Hill and ask ed him if he was befriending Allen. Hill, it was said, replied: ''If do help him to get appointed will you see that he is confirmed?" And it was reported that Bulkeley said that he would.

MINES, MINING AND PROSPECTS OF THE GREAT SOUTHWEST
ENORMOUS GRADING OUTFIT
INVADES SOUTHERN ARIZONA

DOUGLAS, Aug. 29.-The Southern
Pacific has brought into Kelton, near
CORTLAND station, the greatest rail-
road grading and track laying outfit
that ever operated in Arizona.
In the outfit are 800 mules, great
number of scoops and plows, and an
army of men sufficient to grade two
miles of railroad day. This big force
will be followed by other sections of
the four trains which have moved
Grant Brothers Construction COM
pany's outfit from the Southern Pacific
construction work near Tepic UP over
the border at Nogales, to build the
series of lines from Courtland to
Douglas and from Douglas by way of
Forest Ranch to Naco and Bisbee.
The Southern Pacific has built big
corral for it's army of horses and mules
at Kelton, and a trained corral keep
er has arrived from Douglas to take
charge of the stock. For this caval-
cade the Southern Pacific has already
brought in eight carloads of grain and
hay and immense stores are being
rushed into the camp for the men.
1t is reported here that the outfit
was delayed at Nogales customs house
because of a tangle in getting the
horses and mules over the line, one
rumor being to the effect that the
company had to pay $4,000 duty.

COMPANY ORGANIZES TO
WORK IN GOLD NUGGET

BISBEE, Aug. ga number of
prominent local mining men, together
with three residents of New York city,
whose names are we'll known in the
mining world, have recently banded
together to form the Dexter Mining
company, with the express object in
view of taking over the debts and
assets of the Gold Nugget Mining COM
of claims In northern COchise county,
near Bowie. These claims are at pres
ent being worked under a lease and
the leasers are making occasional ship
ments of high-grade ore to the smelters
at FL Paso.
The Gold Nugget Mining company
has been in existence for a number
of years but owing to financial diff
culties has been unable to prosecute
the proper work, although the mine Is
equipped with a mill and modern ma
chinery. At present the old company
is heavily in debt and the location OF
many of it's stockholders is unknown.
The Dexter Mining company will
have capitalization of $1,000, 900, di-
viGed into shares of the par value Of
81 each, of which amount 100000 shares
has been set aside to be exchanged for
the stock of the Gold Nugget company,
while an equal number will be placed
on the Boston and New York curbs
by the New York parties interested.
The property in question has been
pronounced time and again as of un-
questioned value and with plenty of
capital work will be again resumed and
prosecuted with vlgor.

JOHNSON MINES
WILL SOON SHIP
SHELTER READY TO BLOW IN
THIS WEEK
ASSURES OUTLET FOR ENORMOUS
TONNAGE ON DUMPS
Empire Makes Remarkable Progress
in New Shaft, Breaking Ore with
Every Shot Fired Since
Last May

The smelter of the Arizona United
Mines company at Johnson will be
blown in for steady operations Sep
tember 1, according to Wilson H
Brown, vice president of the company,
who was in Los Angeles last week.
All coke Is now on the ground for
smelling purposes and final prepara-
tions are being made for the initial
run. With the smelter in operation
the whole Dragon country will be
substantially benefited, as the aim of
the company is to make the plant a
custom smelter.
1t will start With 125 tons daily
capacity. Being built on the unit
system, 1t will be increased from time
to time. Another unit will be added
to the present capacity just as soon
as possible after the smelter is
blown in.
One of the properties to be greatly
benefited by the johnson smelter is
that of the Empire Copper and Gold
Mining company, owner of the Princess
group of claims. The Empire has prac-
tically all of the water in camp and
will furnish the entire supply for
smelling purposes at the smelter of
the Arizona United Mines company,
whose property adjoins the Empire.
On Empire ground remarkable
progress has been made this summer
and last spring. Since the first day of
shaft sinking, in May, on the Princess
group there has not been q shot fired
which did not bring ore.
Nav Shaft Adioins Incline
This new shaft was started at a
incline shaft sunk by former owners,
who sold out to the present company
several months ago. The Empire peo-
pie expect, when the 100 feet level is
reached, to start drifting and stopping.
From the showing made thus far in
the new shaft experts draw the con-
ciusion that the. entire country is un-
derlaid with ore.
The Empire has already a large
amount of ore on the dump, which but
awaits the completion of the Johnson
smelter to be turned to profit
At headquarters Of the Empire COM
pany in the Henne building 1t was
learned that they would begin haul
ing to the smelter about September Is.
From that time on the Empire will
be a steady customer of the smelter.
Another recent development on the
Princess group is a strike of iron
sulphide carrying some silver. This
ore was uncovered in a prospect shaft
about 1900 feet from the main work
ings.
The activity of the Johnson district
has had a good effect upon the country
contiguous, and it is reported that the
Renson smelter will blow in at an early
date. The smelter is at present under
going repairs.

SHOSHONE ESTABLISHES
A NEW TONNAGE RECORD
over Six Thousand Tons Are Handled
Through Mill In Twenty.
eight Days

RHYOLITE, Aug. 29.-The Shoshone
established another record tonnage for
the month of July. This was done de-
spite a loss of two and half days
operations about the fourth of the
month. Approximately $500 tons of
ore were handled through the mill in
the remaining twenty-eight days of
running.
A shipment of bullion was made from
the property on Wednesday of this
week. 1t compared about IL, 500 ounces,
and represents one days grinding for
every 1000 ounces. The value of Sho-
shone bullion has been announced be-
fore as a little better than 81 per
ounce.
The new Chilli mill is proving a val
liable adjunct to the plant. 1t, is oper-
ating without hitch, and seems to fill
the bill.
Deep mining starts in the Shoshone
within a short time. The pumps have
been put into commission drawing off
the water in the bottom of the shaft
to enable the miners to get at the 700
foot level. The first exploration of this
level will start as soon as the water
is out. There are about thirty-fiVe feet
of water in the shaft, bringing tho
water level up to the 665-foot point.
| This is the accumulation of many
months, and does not prove a danger
Gus water flow. 1t has percolated
through from below in a gradual way.
The soil carries much water, but it is
anticipated that a few days work will
take the water out of the way The
Shoshone has two pumps and Is we'll
equipped to handle any ordinary flow
that may develop
