MINING x EWS.
A Collection of Short Nswsy Items
 From Among the Mines of Arizona.

 dent of the Ash Peak Mining con- pany, twelve miles south of Shel- don, is preparing to ship thous- and tons of quicksilver ores to the company's bins and chutes at the above A. & N. M. railroad station. This is a big shipment and will liven up things about the Duncan country.
 Clifton Era: Dick Lakenan, general manager of the Missabi' Morenci Improvement company, Is in New York City on business con- nected with the company and upon his return it is expected work will be resumed on their properties four miles west of Morenci in Gold Gulch. Foreman Knapp is at the property, and the shaft is kept clear of water to be in read mess to start work on short notice.
 Yuma Sun: The Picacho mine has been shut down for an inde- finite period, tbe workmen dis charged and the business closed up. The village is dead and nearly all of the people have moved away. The work ceased on the tenth of the present month. It is understood that the mine was barely paying expenses and the owners decided to close down and await develop ments and a cheaper method of treating the ores. The Picacho ore is very low grade and it has been difficult to make .he mine pay more than running expenses.
 Graham Guardian: The sinking of the shafts on the property of the Copper Reef Consolidated mines, about 12 miles east of Ft. Thomas continues, and vein of ore has been struck. The width of the lode Is approximately nine feet and much of the material extracted continues good percentage of chalcopyrite or copper sulphide. The strike was made at a depth of about 24O feet, where the shaft is now bot toned. The tunnel being driven under contract to connect with this shaft now measures 502 feet and with about 124 feet more of driving should encounter one of the minor veins on the property.
 Daily Globe: That the Arizona Commercial smelter, which sus' pended operations several months ago, will be in commission again by January 1, is the prediction made by General Manager J. w. Bonnie of that company today. A rumor has been current in mining circles for several weeks to the effect that important ore strikes have been made at the Eureka mine of the Arizona Commercial recently and although the report has not been confirmed by all otfi' claI of the company, there has beer considerable local buying of tht stock Mir. Bennie would not make any statement regarding ore de velopment at the mine, saying thai he had not as yet visited the prop erty in the last six weeks, but hl' prediction with respect to the shelter will undoubtedly be taker as confirmation of the rumol that the physical condition of tht mine has been greatly bettereC during the last month.

Salt Water Cataracts,

There are good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway. southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms of the sea. are obstructed by
barriers Of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction in
al irresistible torrent. Most curious
of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage. where the island of Vancouver
the British Columbia main
land. Here the food tide from the
gulf Of Georgia to the southwark is
held back at narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high: with
perhaps double the volume Of the
Rhine. At the turn of the tide. how
ever. the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf, producing a cas-
cade Of equal height and volume. The
waterfall actually flows both ways. V :.

Ancient Gardens.

The Egyptians were conversant with
the art of landscape gardening, though
they had to contend with the f1atness
Of the land. Water, however, as an
adjunct was often called into play, for
there was the inexhaustible Nile. We
have three plans Of their gardens, as
Tell ell Amazon, which gives us the
perfect idea of how a grand garden
was laid out. We have, too, pictures
of Egyptians reclining on chairs and
fishing in these artificial lakes.

CHILDREN DEFY
A CLOUDY DAY
MANY MOTHERS AND LITTLE
ONES TURN OUT AND ENJOY A
SPLENDID MEETING.

The threatening rain did not keep
the mothers and children at home
from the mothers meeting yesterday
afternoon. At an early hour N the af-
ternoon the children began coming to
the Mission, for they know what is in
store for them when Miss Alma Ma
clay is going to be there to direct
them in their plays and Miss Marion
Anderson to preside at the organ, for
they can play so much more smoothly
to music.
The meeting opened with song ser.
vice, with Mrs. Rose Barrow at the
organ. The scripture reading was
Psalm 119 chapter, verse 165, which
reads thus: Great peace have they
which have thy law; and nothing shall
offend them" and John IS and 81
verses, MY sheep hear my voice, and
II know them, and they follow me-"
Some remarks were made on the les
son, and then the meeting was turned
over to Miss Maclay and the plays
began.
committee of three took charge of
distribution of clothing, with which
the recipients were made happy. How
ever, the committee remembered 1T
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
After the distribution then came
the first call in the dining car" which
happened to be the back porch of the
Mission, where benches had been ar
ranged for the company. More than
fifty were served with sandwiches and
lemonade, which was donated by kind,
generous friends, and had they seen
the little hostesses, Miss Nora Hester,
Miss Anna Mandel and Miss Theresa
Garelli, how happy they were in
serving, they would have felt amply
repaid for their gifts.
These meetings are held once a
month under the auspices of the w.
C. T. T., with good results.
From this time on there will be a
gathering of children each week with
different hostesses to preside and re-
ceive as they are chosen from the
Bible reading school Sunday afternoon.
Anyone interested in these meetings is
cordially invited to attend them. They
will be announced from week tc week,
and are held in the Mission play
ground, corner of Government and
Reus streets. which are opened to the
children in that locality of Pensacola.
The grass plot and flower garden are
very pretty and inviting, and it is
hoped the children will take advantage
of them.
