OUENNER DRY CRUSHER
PLEASES MINING MEN
Public Demonstration at Local
Iron Works Shows the Great
Possibilities of Machine

A public demonstration of the
Quenner dry crusher was held at the
Llewellyn Iron works yesterday af-
ternoon, being witnessed by ABOUT 200
local and Arizona mining men, also
a number of representatives of our To-
cal companies interested in road build
ing.
The crusher bars were fixed to
crush one-eighth mesh, ana Il stop
watch showed that trifla less than
three tons of hard granite boulders
were pulverized in three minutes and
forty seconds. The inventor of the
machine. Quenner however, does not
claim that the machine will crush
anything like this quantity on con-
tinuous run. He says there are eight
of his machines now operating in the
Altar district, which has recently
come into prominence principally on
account of the quality of work per-
formed by the Quenner crusher, and
that each of these machines will av-
erage 300 tons daily. This capacity
allows for temporary shutdowns, and
time for making minor repairs.
The crusher consists of huge
drum, making twenty revolutions to
the minute, keeping the material to be
crushed constantly in motion. The
center core or shaft of this drum con-
tains thirty-six hammers, attached to
heavy chains, and revolves at the rate
of 500 revolutions a minute, striking
1900 pounds to the blow and $4,000
blows a minute. The machine requires
about thirty horsepower to start and
fifteen horsepower when in motion.
EIGHT IN ALTAR DISTRICT
There are now eight of the ma
chimes operating in the Altar district,
Sonora, and ten additional machines
are now being built here and in No
gales to fill orders. r. K. Neal of Spo-
kane has become heavily interested in
the company, and has full faith in
the crusher and its possibilities. The
lining men present at yesterday
demonstration seemed convinced that
the machine marks the passing of the
stamp mill and the present rock
crushers for road-maKng material.
Among the visitors at yesterdays
demonstration, all of whom displayed
keen interest in questioning Mr.. Quen-
ner, the inventor, were Lewis e. Au-
bury, the state mineralogist; G. NJ.
Swindell, secretary of the Los An
geles chamber Of mines and oil; New
ton Evans, Felix Mahew, w. L. Cal
derwood, J. Emerson Gee and num-
ber of contractors and local and Ari-
zona mining men.
The company Is already financed,
and is filing orders for the machines
which are coming in from day to day;
though the demands made upon them
are such that it is anticipated that
New York capitalists, now investigat-
ing the machine, will take heavy in
terests in the company and in all
probability will erect a large factory
for the exclusive manufacture OF these
crushers for road building and cement
gravel properties.

FIX VALUE OF BALDWIN
ESTATE AT $1O,O00,000

Just what the state inheritance tax
upon the estate of Il. j. CLuckyD
Baldwin will be is expected to be
known soon, as James II. Faulkner,
the official appraiser appointed by
Judge Rives of the probate depart
ment of the superior court, IS about
to file his report with that jurist.
Administrators of the estate fixed
its value at a little more than $1O,0O0
600, despite the generally accepted be-
lief that the dead turfman had accu-
muIated about S25,000, 900.
It is believed that the appraiser ap-
pointed by the court will fix the value
Of the estate at an amount consider
ably in advance of that of its admins
traitors, and it is by his report that
the state Inheritance tax will be ad
juSted.

OLD JESSIE COLD MINE
RESUMES DEVELOPMENT
Litigation and Lack of Manage
ment Caused Great Pro-
duCer to Lie Idle

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 25.-One Of
the most important mining movements
started in this field in recent years
Initiated by the Ohio Mines company
on the old and favorably regarded
Jessie mine. A force of miners and a
large stock of supplies was sent to
the camp in Chaparral, with the OBJ
ject of resuming operations immedt-
ately. Interest follows the reviving
of one of the greatest gold producers
ever known in the county and its
possibilities.
The history of the property is one
that gives it an attractive considera-
ton up to the time that litigation
was started, its production in tonnage
values being the heaviest of any gold
property that was ever operated in
the county. In its earlier days it had
a gross yield of nearly one million
of dollars, and that amount was taken
from a depth of less than 700 feet.
After the decline in silver, the Jessie
was one of the first gold mines to
come into prominence, first, through
the leasing system, and later being
operated by its owner and locator,
John S. Jones.
1t was taken over by the Ohio inves-
tors a few years ago, pending nego-
tiations that are now to be followed
by an extensive system Of exploitation.
The preliminary work was accom-
plished a few days ago, when the
main shaft in the original workings
were unwatered to a depth of 800 feet,
from which point future work will be
directed. The purpose is to use the
old levels to that depth, and to oper-
ate in a zone that is known to con-
tain a vast amount of ore that will
run as high as 500 per ton at the
lowest estimate Of valuation.
IN VIRGIN GROUND
Further determinations are to be
made from the 300-foot level to the
surface, and in ground that is virgin,
while the lower levels will remain
inactive.
Recent examinations made of the
zone to be operated have terminated
in a satisfactory showing and with
the old levels available, together with
the possibilities of new ground that
is to be opened the revtving of this
mining proposition is attended with
attractive possibilities.
The Ohio people are fortunately
equipped with every facility in mine
work to face them, having a two
compartment shaft and hoisting ma
chinery ready, to which is added other
mechanical facilities of the best and
latest type, and with buildings for
personal convenience.
After the work progresses to thu
third level, exploration will follow to
the deepest point in the mine, about
$50 feet, where production was also
heavy when the property was closed.
The purpose of the management Is
to ship the richer ores, while the mill
| ing grade will be treated at the mill
| of John S. Jones, that Is convent
emily situated a few hundred yards
distant.
The officers of the Ohio Mines COM
pany are: DIR. II. w. Whitaker, pres
ident; j. H. Rogers, secretary-treas-
urer, both of Columbus, Ohio, and A.
L. Mccarthy, general manager, resid-
ing at the mine.
The resumption of the Jessie makes
the triangle of we'll known mines in
that section under operation, the Le-
Ian and the Mount Elliott both being
within a stones throw.

Write CheerfuIlv.

1t seems quite impossible for some
people to write a cheerful letter. One
feels instinctively that the reading of a
certain letter will give one a bad fit of
the blues" and it does. Why will
not people keep their gloomy thoughts
of paper? The unfortunate recipients
cannot possibly sympathize to the
proper extent-not knowing every par
ticular-and it only has the effect of
making them thoroughly miserable, in
nine cases out of ten, over an imagi-
nary woe which belongs to somebody
else.
Consider it duty to write cheerful
letters, and, if you haven't anything
cheerful to say, hunt till you find
something. You won't have a very
long search. If the sun doesn't shine
to-day it will tomorrow or the day
after.

THE MOTHER AND THE BOY
Childish Condolences That Should
Never Be Repealed, But Al
ways Encouraged.

A boys heart is full and overflow
ing. He needs some one who will listen
to his condolences. If he is repealed
and finds himself alone, he becomes
fretful, indolent or worse. His affairs
are not nonsense" A good mother
never says: Run away; 1 am busy"
She listens, encourages.
Important discoveries may be made
In these outpourings. She gives SYM
pathy, enters into his feelings, sees
things from his point of view. If he
tells her of something which proves
that he is at fault, she does not repri-
mand at the time, because this will
check further condolences. She gives
her attention quietly, tells him she is
glad he has confided in her, and that
she will talk of it again to him.
If mother has insight she can
solve many problems She is interest
ed in her boys sports, collections, his
school and companions. The choice of
his companions should not be left to
chance. 1t is well if they are from
families known to his parents.

TWO DOANE STORIES
AMUSING TALES FATHERED BY
BISHOP OF ALBANY.
Effect on the Congregation Of Pres
ence of Saint in the Pulpit
Couldn't Understand Having
to Pay for Water.

That genial prelate William OF AL
bany, otherwise Bishop Doane. has
been visiting friends in southern Vir
ginia and some of his quaint sayings
are passing into literature that way.
The bishops host took him long
drive to hear a curate who had the
reputation of being saint. The
bishop looked glum on the homeward
journey and when his companion
asked him what allied him he re-
marked that he should have obeyed
his first inclinations. You see," he
explained, my experience is that a
saint in the pulpit always makes mar
tyrs in the pews. And this reminds
me of something which is related Of
that venerable and most beloved prel-
ate of the Church of England in mod
ern times, Bishop Jeremy Taylor. A
young curate preached his first SER
mon before critical audience COM
posed of the cathedral chapter and he
acquitted himself very well, at least,
so he believed At the end of the
service he went to his superior and
asked him what he thought of the ser
mon. The bishop replied: There was
one admirable passage The curate
beamed and looked expectant 1T was
the passage from the pulpit to the
vestry.'"
But Bishop Doane also heard a few
new stories in southern Virginia and
there are treats in store for his next
guests. One was told by young rec
tor who had moved from a remote
mountain side into the comparative
luxury of home in Lynchburg. Here
he had city water and Illuminating
gas and sewerage and all that mod
ern city home demands. His old NAM
my, who had served him faithfully for
years in the country, was one of the
first guests in his city mansion. The
young cleric took her proudly through
his new home and showed everything
to her. Finally she was sent to the
kitchen, there to be entertained by
the goddess familiar with such curl
osities as sinks and ranges. She was
deeply interested in turning the fau-
Get and letting the water flow. Final
ly the modern cook could stand it no
longer.
"'Scuse me, Miss Hannah she said.
But | mus AK We not to let the water
waste like that. Ye see, we all's on a
meter. We all has to measure the wa
ter and pay for it. Massa John has to
pay for every drop We done wasted.
The old cook was Mortified
'Massa John measure water! Pay
for water!' she exclaimed in tragic
tones. Wild all dem wells and wells
of good water down home Well 1
clare, the mex time cum to visit
yous' all see if I doan't bring a barrl
of water"

Monkey as a Witness.

A remarkable story of husband

previously it had been friendly to
him. 1t repeated the actions when

There was no direct evidence that
the STAIRS committed the murder, the

of the days when Biltmore was open to
the public. l strolled unrecognized over
my lawn.
"As watched the orderly and polite
visitors. a shabby young man Kissed

Hey, git off that! 1t amt allowed

TINY BABY'S PlIIrLL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
Tho baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab q
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
Goftened the scab and it came of. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
or and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti-
sura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura ONT
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
Ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, st. Johns Place, Ridgewood
