MINING NEWS.
A Collection of Short Newsy Items From Among the Mines of Arizona.


 near Quartzsite, now of broad fame in Arizona, seems to be a sort of underground placer. There is a fine pay streak, from which the average sample is $60 to the ton, but it is in the base of twenty foot ledge of close conglomerate, schist filled, averaging at least $2 ton in gold and of the easiest sort of milling qualities.
 Prescott Journal-Miner: c. w. Hull, who arrived from Jerome, Thursday afternoon, left yesterday morning for Huron, where he has a force of miners at work on the Swindler mine, to make an exam ination of the development under way. Mir. Hull contemplates an extensive system of exploitation on this old and well known mining property, and is encouraged from work in the past few months.
 Prescott Journal Miner: The ten stamp mill of the White Gold Min ing company, situated on the Has sayampa, near the site of the lower dam of the Walnut Grove Water Storage company, was burned Tuesday, and is complete loss. No particulars of the fire were learned. Leonard White, superin- tendent of the company, was in this city at the time, and left yes- terday for the camp. The plant was considered one of the finest in the country, and had been used but little.
 Swansea Times: What Is claim ed to be the richest copper strike eyer made in this section was en- countered a few days ago on the property of the Copper Basin Min ing company, eighteen miles north of Parker, in the Copper Basin dis trict. During the progress of sink ink the shaft contractor Harvey Hon this week broke into a four foot body of copper glance ore at a depth of SO feet. From it's appear ance it will easily run 90 per cent in the red metal, besides contain ing gold values. About two weeks ago the ore began to gradually ln- crease in value and before the lat est strike of copper glance, it was averaging around $40 to the ton. Contractor Hon was in town the fore part of the week and brought in a number of large specimens of the latest discovery. He declared that the strike was the richest he had ever seen in his many years experience in the mining business.
 Mohave Miner: s. A. Giles has taken an option on the molybden- ite-copper mines of L. J. Lassel, i, Smith and Sawyers, and w, J. Corners, situated five miles north of Cedar. The mines are to be operated under the management of w. P. Carr, one of the best of the mine managers of the county. The mines have shown up to great advantage under recent work. the showing of copper and molybdenite being remarkable. It is the general belief of the miners that have worked in the property that it will become one of the best in the territory in both metals. The veins are very large and the mineralized area very great. The

thousand feet, and how much far ther is not known. The vein will average about ten feet in width and shows up big and strong far above the surrounding country. MT. Gibson made the examination of the property this week and was more than pleased with it.
 Arizona Democrat: w. F. Scott, postmaster at Quartzsite, now owns the old Goodman mine and has had installed a nice little Nissen mill at home, to which he conveys the white quartz in wagons from the mine, realizing enough to pay the expense of operating the mine, to- gether with the cost of a great amount of development work which is to prepare the ground for further drifting and stoping. Mr. Scott is sure he has one of the big gold mines of the territory. His main ledge will average all of twenty feet from end to erd, so far as ex- posed, with a sixteen-inch pay streak that already averages by sample $60 to the ton. This matrix, or pay streak, is in the base of a big ledge of congIomerate, into which has been gathered many kinds of rock and mineral. This is scEist6lled, averaging $5 and more in gold to the ton, and of the cas- fest sort of milling.
 Mohave Miner: k. F. Thomp- son made a trip to the Golconda mine this week and reports that property looking better to him than ever. The mill was pounding away and the jigs and tables were turning out big stacks of concen- trates. Everything in and around the mine was looking lively and prosperous. The dumps are being run through the mill and are pro- ducing big tonnage of zinc, while there is an immense quantity ol the same class of ore broken down in the stopes. A new system has been inaugurated at the mine by which all ore is now extracted on a royalty basis. The miners are making more money under the system and the company is getting better results. The Golconda is now recognized as one of the great. est of what is known as the West. ern zinc mines, producing more zinc ore than any mine west oi Colorado.

ciennes, Cluny and white Oriental lace are lavishly used on the mid summer frock of lingerie, mousseline de soie and fine linens.
 Chiffon cloth waists in colors as we'll as white are as smart as any separate blouses seen this summer. PompadOur silk is frequently used for lining these filmy fabrics.
 The new parasols from Paris are nearly all fringed. Handles all show the effects of the new overworked Chantecler craze. Nearly every one displays cock or a golden pheasant head.
 The waist knots are most elaborately tied. There is one in dragon fly eff feet with a long gilt body and in- numerable little silk puffs on either side of it to serve as wings.
 Banding and motifs in pearl and crystal beads are being shown in great profusion and it is rumored that both pearls and crystal trimmings will be used on many of next seasons models.
 Decidedly attractive and summery looking too are the rattan covered steamer trunks. They come provided with a strap in front, so that the trunk can easily be pulled out from under the berth.

 Dainty bags of pongee and linen are seen. Some are embroidered in flow CT designs, others with small flying birds while others still are quite plain.

Have a Wing Spread Greater Than
 That of Many Small Birds.
 The largest butterfly known to nat uralists is found only in British New Guinea. and specimens are worth any thing from $10O upward. The male measures eight inches across the wings and the female not less than eleven inches. wing spread exceed ing that of many small birds.
 The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is curious one, says the Wide World Magazine. A naturalist saw a specimen perched on the top of a tree and, failing to cap ture it by any other means. finally shot it.
 From the fragments he decided that the species was entirely unknown to science. and he forthwith fitted out an expedition at a cost of many thou sands of dollars to go in search of the magnificent insects.
 Two members of the party fell vic tms to the Papuan cannibals and an- other was rescued only in the nick Of time. In spite of this inauspicious commencement to his enterprise, how ever. the naturalist persevered and ultimately succeeded in obtaining a number of perfect specimens.

 General Robert D. Lee was sitting on the veranda of his Lexington home one afternoon engaged in conversation with some friends when a man, i'll clothed and coveged with dust, appear ed at the gate and timidly beckoned to the general.
 ApologiZing to his friends, Lee rose at once and went to the gate. Very soon his purse appeared, and he was seen to give the man some money.
 His friends, knowing the extent of his charity in any case of suffering, real or apparent, looked op with some impatience. for they knew how slender his mans were then and how many calls of the same kind came to hip

 "One of our boys in trouble" Ras the half smiling answer, for the zen eral knew the remonstrance which his friend was longing to make.
 "Vhat regiment and company did he belong to-" persisted the friend, anx- ious, if possible. to unearth the sus- pected fraud.

His business principles are founded entirely upon honesty, and he adheres to the policy with the 1nsistence of leech. The chase after dellaTs stops if he has to resort to low tricks to get them. Of course a little thing like telling falsehood occasion ally does not bother him So much, but when it comes to plotting and schem- ing to defraud some one the task be- comes distasteful. The equal of the Japanese in initiative and foresight, he is much their superior when integ- rity is concerned. A Japanese does not think twice before deciding tQ get the best of you. He calculates that you are liable to change your mind or get out of reach if he indulges in a little mental debate as to the propriety of cheating you.-Bookkeeper

 To tie a shoe lace, tie the bow as usual, only before pulling the loops tight, slip one loop and the end that goes with it through the hole in the center of the bow; then pull the two loops tight.
 To set colors, green, blue, laven- der, analine, reds, purple and pink, should be soaked in alum water, two ounces to tub: Black. gray and dark blue should be soaked in strong salted water.
 To keep a dish of food hot for half an hour or so. a better plan than putting it into the oven, is to set it on sauce pan of boiling water and letting the sauce pan stand on top of the oven.
 When a pie is ready for the oven, pour cold water over it and drain. Put at once into a hot oven, and it will bake at once to a rich, brown, glossy surface, and the crust will be much flakier.
