A sxmpathetlc BURGLAR.

A thoughtful burglar who broke
into the house Of Joseph Brown,
Streatham Highroad, last week has
earned the gratitude of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown by returning through the post
two highly priced miniatures, whose
intrinsic value, to the thief was incon-
siderable.
The thief took a12 or ETA worth
of portable valuables, including a
gold miniature locket containing the
portraits of Mr. Browns two little
boys. The parents were particularly
sorry. to lose the locket BECAUSE the
elder of the boys died onlyi a short
time ago and the miniature GOULD not
be replaced-London Daily Mail.

TWO cIeansers.

Boiled potatoes are an excellent
substitute for soap when the hands
have become soiled by contact with
blackened pots and pans. Potato wa
ter should, besides, be kept for rem
ovating silk.
Although vinegar may be used to
clean the outside Of copper cooking
utensils, care should be taken to
avoid letting any fall on the tin lin
ing Of the pan. To clean the pan in
side and out, far the best method is
to scrub it with soda, hot water and
soap. The outside may then be pol
ished with rag dipped in vinegar.

Locomotive nconversation.n

The way locomotives talk" is after
this fashion: If the trainman should
hear two long blasts from the whistle
he would know it was request for
the releasing Of the air brakes and
that everything ahead was all right.
Four short blasts Of about quar-
ter of second each would be instruc-
lions to the rear brakeman to go back
with red flag and protect his train
from collision. Something had hap
pened ahead which required holding
it up. While the flagman is making
haste to the rear he hears four long
toots Of the whistle, the engine tell
ing him that the tracks have been
cleared and that he is to return to
the train as fast as his legs can carry
him.
If train on approaching signal
finds it at danger the engineer comes
to stop, and after waiting a reason
abel time for orders to proceed, which
do not come, he gives four short
snorts of the whistle, which imme-
diately arrests the attention of the
towermen or those who have in
charge the particular signal that Isl
holding the train UP. Sometimes an
engineer will become impatient and
the first four blasts will be followed
by four others with only few sec
onds intervening. He does not see
why he should be kept waiting and
manifests this impression by way Of
the whistle.
Three long whistles, when the train
is under way, tell the trainmen that
draw bar has pulled out or that
coupling has given way and that the
train has been cut in two. This calls
for hasty and careful attention, as
all kinds of trouble threaten when
this class of accident happens. If
the first section is stopped too sud
denly the rear one is liable to crash
into it and strew the tracks with
wreckage. Hundreds of thousands Of
dollars worth of property is de-
stroyed every year because Of the
parting of trains.

Phoenix, Arizona,
 March l5, 1911.

Seven thousand feet of the 14-inch pipe that will cover the distance be- tween the pumping plant at Burch and the Miami concentrator-approx imately 10000 feet-has been laid.
 Water was pumped through the mains for the second time March 10 and found as satisfactory a supply as during the first trial. If by the time the entire plant is ready for operation it is necessary to use about three thou sand feet of casing (S-inch) now laid as part of the water line no delay will be occasioned by necessity of substitu- tion of the remainder of the larger pipe. The reclaim water system is to be used in operation of the concen- trator-that is, after the water has been used and has settled in tanks constructed for that purpose it will be pumped up the hill again and stored for use again in the mill. This feature of the plants equipment will result in a small percentage disap- bearing through evaporation and ab- sorption being small. It is not known definitely when the plant will begin

Information Of Interest To Claimants In The Matter Of The Official Sur Vey Of Their Mining Claims, During The Current Cal
 endar Year.

Existing laws require the claimant of mineral location to have a correct official survey of his claim made under
 the authority of the Surveyor-General of the State or Territory in which his claim is situated prior to making ap- plication to the officers of the Local Land Office for patent thereto, in view of the fact that the official survey is the basis of such application for pat ent. One copy of the approved plat of survey is furnished the claimant or his attorney by the Surveyor General, which plat, together with a copy of notice of his intention to apply for patent is required to be posted in a conspicuous place on his claim. After posting said plat and notice upon the premises, the claimant will file with the Register and Receiver of the Lo- cal Land Office for the District in which his claim is situated applica- tion for patent, and, if no reason ap- pears for the rejection of the applica- tion, the Register will, at the expense of the claimant, publish a notice of such application for patent for period of sixty days in the newspaper published nearest the claim.
 From the foregoing, it is obvious that, in order to secure a copy of the plat of survey so as to enable the claimant to post the same for the period of sixty days prior to the end of the calendar year, the survey should receive my approval not later than October 20th. The field notes of a mineral survey should be filed in this office at the earliest possible date, in order to insure the receipt by the claimant of the approved plat of his |

The jade of Mexico is found in a great many of the ancient indian ombs of the republic in the shape of oddly wrought amulets, masks and beads. Jade at one time was used for filling the teeth of Mexican indians. Many skulls of undoubted antiquity have been found whose teeth were in- laid with pea green Jade. Lome of these teeth, taken from the skulls in Yucatan, may be seen in the Peabody museum at Harvard university.
 Onyx exists in large deposits around the city of Pueblo. The onyx workers of that city are among the most fa- nous in the world, and the curios made by them and sold in the shops of Mexico are in many instances perfect specimens of the lapidary's art. One may buy a souvenir paper weight of onyx for few cents, or a splendid mantel ornament costing hundreds of dollars. The interior of the new g. 900, ,OO0S post office building in Mexico City is finished in onyx from the Pueblo mines. The architect of this structure was an Italian, but the work was executed by Mexican workmen, and their efforts in interior decoration are regarded by competent judges as among the fines examples of such work in the world.
 In some mines every modern process of handling the material and extract ing the metal is used, while at other mines the same old processes that were used centuries ago are still ln use. Peons still carry the pay dirt out of the mines on "chicken ladders" as they did in the days of Spanish rule. It is then spread out and ground to powder with huge stone rollers, drawn by mules. After being powdered, the dirt is carried to a paved court When it is about two feet deep, hands ful of salt, blue vitrol and quicksilver are strewn over it in quantities sui fcient to produce proper amalgama- tion. Then a herd of mules is driven over it until the whole becomes a mass of thoroughly mixed mud-a process often requiring as much as four weeks. Then it is carried to the washers. The silver mercury amalgam. being heavy, remains behind, while the mud is washed out. Then the amalgam is carried to a disUillery, where the sil- yer and the mercury are divorced, the silver to be made into ingots of pure metal, and the quicksilver to become the affinity which steals another lot of silver from it's age-long companion dirt.

Change of Stage Ownership.

He has become we'll known to the business men of Kingman during his short resi- dence here and is sure to get the busi- ness.

survey not later than October 20, 1911. This will avoid the necessity of the claimants doing annual assessment work on each location for the succeed ing calendar year, in the event of the issuance of final certificate by the Register of the Local Land Office prior to the end of the current cal endar year.
 Each years, during the months of August, September, and October, num- erous applications are filed with me for the survey of mineral claims, which results in a large number of field notes being filed in this office during those months, especially the latter ones. Naturally, the work in the Mineral Department of the office becomes congested and, consequently, some surveys can not be approved by me soon enough to permit the claim ant to post his plat for the required sixty-day period prior to the end of the calendar year. It is the policy of the Surveyor-General to accommodate mineral claimants in the matter of expediting office work in connection with the survey of their mining claims as far as it is within his power to do so, but the fact must not be lost sight of that the number of employees in the Mineral Department of this office is of necessity limited.
 It therefore behooves all mineral claimants who anticipate making ap- plication for patent to their holdings, in the expectation of securing final certificate during the present year, to cause their claims to be surveyed of- ticially at once and thus avoid the danger of their surveyors not being approved in good season.

Rich Strike in the Stareo Mine.

For nearly three yearsthe Camp bell Bros, and Will Keppler have been working the Stargo mine, about one mile southeast of Morenci, and ship ping ore to the Douglas smelters amounting to a carload per day. Last week the workings broke into a vein of remarkably rich gold ore, running way up into the hundreds of dollars per ton. "Dutch" Keppler, an old ex- perienced miner who knows a mine when he sees it, says it is the biggest gold strike ever made in the great Clifton-Morenci district or anywhere else for that matter. This mine has been paying proposition from the start and the energy and perseverance of the boys deserve the fullest reward. Copper Era.

operating although it should not be matter of more than few days.
 Superintendent of Mines N. O. Law ton has the extensive underground workings thoroughly in hand and will be able to furnish the ore needed im- mediately when the mill calls for it, and the duplicate casting upon which completion of the power plant has been waiting has arrived and is now being installed. On the 7th and Sth of this month the four units of the mill were thoroughly tested by power furnished from the power plant and were found in perfect working order. This test run was made without ore and water-a fact that would not need mention were it not for the irresponsi- ble reports that obtained recently to the effect that Miami plan has endeavor- ed to treat ore without success. March 9th work was begun on the construc- tion of two additional units (Nos. and 6) for which space in the concentrator building was left. It has not yet been decided whether rolls similar to those used at McGIll, Nevada, or Chilean mills will be employed in the equip ment of units and 6. This detail will be decided after both appliances have been thoroughly tested.-Globe Silver Belt
