OF NATIVE COPPER

Silver City, n. NJ, Dec. 2S.-Since
the first workings of the Santa Rita
mines, much native copper has been dis
covered. frequently in large quantities
and fine specimens. During the pres

EXPECT DECEMBER
TO BREAK RECORDS

Clifton. Ariz. Dec. 2S.-The month OF
November was the record breaking
month for the Arizona Copper COM
pany, and officials of the company say
that the month of December will ex-
coed that of November. Already plans
are on foot for charging the concen-
traitors preparatory for increased pro-
duction during the year 1911. The
Clifton-Morenci district, including such
well known companies as the Arizona
Copper company. Ltd. the Detroit Cop
per company and the shannon. is one of
the steadiest producing districts in Ari-
IONA and the combined output of the
three companies is greater than any
other mining district in Arizona.

MANY MINES REsUMING
ACTIVITY AT PARRAL
Numerous Mills to Be Erected and
Many New Properties Are Being
Rapidly Opened Up


Parral, Mex, Dec. 2S.-Within the
past week the manag gers of the various
properties in this district have been
busy placing men at work and as a
consequence conditions in the mining
industry have assumed their former ac-
tivity
The Julieta mine has started consid-
cradle development work and ar
engagements are being made to employ
a large force of men to enable the
owners to make up for the time lost
during the recent troubles Soon
work will begin toward the erection
of reduction plant for the treatment
of ores. This property alone will
probably employ in the nefghborhood
of 500 men in the mine and mill COM
bined.
The Esmeralda property has already
increased its force of workmen and
upon the completion of the pumping
system will probably double its pres
ent force.
The Ell Rayo Mines company, near
here, is doing considerable development
work at present and more is contem-
plated after the new year. Values at
this property have jumped considerably
during the past SO days and the veins
show every possibility of a continu-
ance, perhaps with better values.
The Tajo mill is now running sue
cessful1y and 800 men are at work in
night and day shifts.
The Apodaquena, neighbor of the
Tajo. will also double its output and is
making preparations now to accomplish
the fact in a very short time The ore
is running as high as four kilos silver.
! Work on the Cherokee -Goldfield's
San Julian property is going forward
with all possible haste and the so ton
mill will be in operation shortly The
property stopped work for short time
during the insurrectional activities as
a matter of precaution. Much ore now
lies on the dumps.

NOVEL METHOD OF MARKING HORSES.
cs,f,in Conrad of the United State: Army us5.sts Tatt.oins fl
Number O n The Lip.

Washington, D. Captain Cas-
par H. Conrad, of the Quarternaster's
department of the army, has suggest
ed a new method of marking horses
in order to enable the War Depart
ment to keep a record of them. For
several years the hoofs of the animals
have been numbered. This method,
however. has not been satisfactory be-
cause of the fact that the number Of
ten wears off the hoof and Is opliter-
ated in other ways. Captain Conrad's
scheme is to tattoo the number on the
inside of the animals lip. This sys-
tenn is in practice in the Quartermas-
ter's department of the army OF Great
Britain.
1t is probable, however, that the
humane societies of the country will
raise objections to the proposed plan
of tattooing numbers on the lips OF
army horses, John P. Heap, secretary
of the local humane society. had this
comment to make on the subject:
"I cannot speak for the executive
committee and I cannot reach them
at this season to learn their views, but
it is my belief that the members
would disapprove any such system as
this. I would like to have data on
the subject before submitting 1t to the

Washington, D. C.-The total num-
| Der of persons killed on or by railroad
trains in the year ended June 80,
1909, was 8722, and 1886 persons
were injured, according to an abstract
| of railway statistics made public by
| the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Of those killed outright, only
253 were passengers, as against 3S1
| passengers killed the previous year;
1914 were trespassers on the road,
and the remaining 1925 killed were
railway employees.
To passengers the greatest cause of
injury seems to have been derailment
or collisions. In this way sc passen-
| gers were killed and 1905 injured.
In the whole year, the report states,
I passenger was killed for every
S,523,5O6 carried, while the injured
! averaged 1 to every 86,458 carried.
! The Indications are that railroad t-a-
! vel is becoming less dangerous with
| the installation Of improved safety
devices.
The statistics for the year show an
increase of.3215 miles of single track
ing in the United States, mostly scat
tered through the West and South.
while the increase in mileage of
tracks of all sorts is 8705. On June
50, 1893, the report shows, a single
track mileage in the United States OF
236,S68; 2O,949 miles of second
track, 2169 miles of third tracking.
The increase in locomotives over
the year previous was 479, the total
number in operation on June 80:
1903, being returned as 1922. OF
these about 1900 were classified as
passenger engines and about $4,000
as freight engines The total number
| of cars in operation showed a reduc-
ton Of 1901 under the returns of
the year before, this year the total
| number being 2,21S,2S0.
The total number of persons on the
pey rolls of the steam roads in the
United States was on June 30. 1908,
1,5O2iS23, or an average of 63S per-
