Nearinu Ore Body,

The churn drill at work on the property of the Barney Copper com pany has reached depth of 345 feet
 according to the Globe Silver Belt
 The drill is still in the surface cap ping but from indications it would seem that in the sinking of another 100 feet the ore body will be encoun- tered This drill hole. which is the first to be sunk on the Barney group. is located about 500 feet west of the eastern line of the Barney ground. and about 1000 feet west of Hole No. 32 of the Live Oak company. In this hole the drill penetrated the ore body at $50 feet was in ore down to 315 feet the drill then went through bar ren ground to the 4O0-foot mark where the ore was again encountered and over 165 feet of the best ore that has yet been found was revealed. From this it would seem that there is every possibility that with the con tinuation of drilling on the eastern end of the Barney property ore will be discovered in a short time The sinking of the last fifty feet in this drill hole has been very difficult Soft ground that is caving continually has

CRACKER KING WON BY PHOENIX AND VALLEY pREslpENT NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY ENTHUSES. A. w. Green Says Capital Is Needed to Develop Resources of
 Territory.

No one who ever visited this part of the southwest ever became more enthusiastic over the prospects of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley than President A. w. Green of the National Biscuit company. NIT. Green and party arrived Wednesday even ing his private car Republic" and left last evening for Los Angeles with the Phoenix"
 Travelling with MT. Green are Mrs. Green, their two daughters and MT. l.. Isselhardt, traffic manager of the Ma tional Biscuit company. The party left New York January r. and stopped in a number of cities. Their longest stop was in Kansas City, to dedicate new cracker factory.
 Early yesterday morning Mir. Green took d walk about the depot and the first conclusion he came to in regard to the city is that it needs street inn provements more than anything else. His next was that he had never en- joyed more delightful climate.
 In the afternoon the entire party was taken for an automobile ride through the orange belt. Among the points of interest visited was the In- dian school, in which MT. Green took great interest.
 This country is wonderful, wonder ful,' said the Cracker King" after their return. And as for climate, why, this is the finest in the world. If rightly advertised there is no req son why Phoenix should not become as great a summer resort as any southern California city. First. how ever, there must be some improve ments in roads and streets. l under stand that the streets of the city are to be paved soon and when that is done there won't be a finer little city anywhere. Some work is being done on Central avenue, l sec, but the road was closed today and l did not have the pleasure of enjoying what every one tells me is your most beautiful drive"
 MT Green evidenced his interest by asking the reporter question after question about the projected improve ments in Phoenix, growth of the city in recent years. the irrigation system. surrounding mining districts and prospects for new railroads. Ip fact The Republican man was made the interviewed and not the interviewer.
 Many of Mir Greens questions were upon the Arizona constitution. He had heard a great deal about the con- stitution. he said, though he had not seen a copy.
 "I believe the people will make mistake if they adopt such a radical constitution said MT. Green. There is no doubt that statehood would mean great influx of capital and the wrong method of securing state hood is being taken. A conservative constitution certain of approval at Washington should he drawn up and adopted"

Copper Strike.

A rich strike was made the latter part of last week on the Horace property, adjoining the Scanland. ac- cording to the Paradise Record. Ac cording to returns from an average sample sent to Worthington & Pick ard. the Douglas assayers. several days ago, the ore carries 25.2 per cent copper.
 The strike was made in the west drift from the 165-foot incline at about 40 feet in.
 At present there is considerable ore in the face of the tunnel. there being from to inches of the richest. The vein extends from east to west, and pitches to the south.
 For percentage of copper this is one of the most important strikes ever made in the district The vein has fair width, with good prospects of widening; and the depth of occur renee is good.
 If anything. the ore appears to be getting richer with depth, and richer with progress westward.

Gold Crown Mill,

About Jan 2I the big mill of the
 Frisco Mines & Power company is to
 be put in commission, says the Mo
 have County Miner. The engines at the mill are to be tried out and
 everything put in shape for trying
 out of the plant The mill is built
 along new lines. but is said to be
 one of the most compact plants in
 the territory. That it will be a sue
 cess goes without saying, as it will
 be under the direct supervision of one of the best millmen in the coun- try, F.. H. Barton. who made the big success of the Yellow Astor plant. MT. Barton has had a world of ex-
 perience in the handling of big plants and his knowledge will stand him in good stead in the bringing of this property to d successful issue. The ore is said to be very high grade and the saving of values through the automatic filters is certain to be far above 90 per cent.
 The engines that are being used in this plant are new to the country. but the management believe they will be successful and economical. By their use it is expected that the de- velopment of power will be brought down to a minimum
 It is understood that the San Fran cisco mine. in the Cedar Valley sec tion. will soon be in operation. The company is to be organized on more stable basis and the new work mapped out will carry the main shaft into the ore body between 100 and 200 feet below the present level. The ore taken from this ore body mllled about $500 to the ton, but only small part of the vein could be from the point where 1t was entered. By an error the shaft was sunk only far enough to miss the apex of the vein on its dip, and owing to the influx of water nothing could be done in the way of sinking with out new equipment, which the com pany was reluctant to put in. The has certainly proven to be a mine. and now that the strike of the ore is well known. the company should have no difficulty in making good. The vein was broken by big dike that runs through that section. but the contact of the ore bodies with the dike has been traced out and the geological features so phtted that any one can carry on developments without losing the vein in the future

 Judd Moore has twenty-two miners employed on his claim eight miles south of Nicksburg. He is opening d promising ore body and expects to place the property in the shipping list soon.
 Nine miners are employed on the Alamo, nine miles south of Vicks- burg. where a very rich body of gold ore is under development.

says the Wickenburg Miner. Mir Curtis stated that the recent discov- cry of copper glance ore on the com pany's property shows up better than he anticipated. The discovery was made in an open cut on the monster ledge traversing the property for a distance of 5000 feet in length and from 10 to 90 feet in width. Several other openings on this lead also show ore running high in copper and con taining good gold values. The recent strike has exposed the ledge for ten feet in width, the copper values run ming from 20 to 30 per cent. Mir. Curtis was more than pleased with the excellent showing recently devel- oped on the property.

POPULAR GAMES IN LONDON
Dabbit, CASTILLO, Holo and Three
Tricks Have Posslbilities-De-
scription Of Pastimes.

"Dabbit."
This sounds like swear word from
man who is suffering from a severe
code Id the Dose" but 1t isn't. Dab
bit is only the title of a new game,
which some people say has a good
chance of becoming more popular than
ping-pong was, says the London
Sketch.
The idea is ridiculously simple. You
are provided with sort of oblong
tray. the bottom Of which is formed
by the table on which you play. Placed
across the middle of the court thus
provided is a piece of wood contain
ing arches.
The ordinary rules of tennis are fol.
lowed, but instead of going over the
net you serve the ball under the cen
ter arch. In returning, the players
send the ball back under any of the
arches and the fun is exciting 1t is
a series of pushes, and one is sur
prised at the amount of skill which
can be obtained.
Dabbit Is only one of several. Per-
haps the best is CASTILLO, a game on
an entirely new principle, which is be-
coming very popular in London. for 1t
can be played either on a lawn or the
table. specially shaped mallets are
used, while ordinary croquet balls,
four players having castle and two
balls. Much skill ia required in the
capturing of flags and castles, each
game lasting about 20 minutes. and
providing all sorts of excitement when
the players are skillful.
More modest, but equally interest
ing, is holo, the players trying to
drive ball through their opponents
well-guarded goals. Holo appeals
quite as much to children as to grown
ups, and what seems fairly simple at
first is In the end very difficult =.
Stepping-stones is a game In which
the players have to stop from one
block to another while balancing a
ball on platter. The results are
ludicrous.
Finally, there is three tricks A lit
tie table is revolved and suddenly
stopped, whereupon the players try
to spike loose tablets which are num-
bered. The fact that one player spikes
more than another does not mean that
he wins, for he may have taken sew
eral for which he has to concede
points.
