 Prescott Courier It is an- rounced that Philadelphia capi- qljst has taken over the Harnell mine, located six miles from Con- gress Junction. This property has Blocked out large bodies of gold ore said to have value of six dollar. per ton.
 Wickenburg Miner: Consulting Engineer A. D. Akin and Mrs. Akin arrived from Macon, Ga, late last week and are row at the camp of the Monarch Milling x smelling company, with Manager c. W. Platt, making arrangements for the development of the mine. Mir. Akin will spend most of his time here in the interests ot the company, and after the camp is re-esta5lished the work of getting into the ore will commence and an active campaign of development begun. There are already an inn mense tonnage of ore on top of the ground where the ore body has broken over.
 Douglas International; Through Ira B. .Joralemon. of Warren, re- presentative of the Phelps.Dodge company, the Copper Queen Min ing company today asked for an extension of time in determining whether or not to take up the Sl00000 option which the com panv took on the Reid, Geiseman and Leatherwood properties on the northwest slope of the Catalina mountains near the San Pedro wall ley. The Copper Queen has been developing the claims extensively by tunnels and shafts, one of the former of which has been dug a distance of more than 500 feet and today was to have been the day when the company was to an. uounce whether or net t woulc continue its payments on the prop critics or relinquish the options.
 Douglas International: Ed. Pow ell, tue solicitor with Hotchlis, x Hayhurst, was wearing a good sized smile and carrying a good sized cheek from his father, which was his part of the sale price of gold mine which was sold during the last few days in the Syivanit' district, near Hachita This mine was located during the exciting times around Sylvanite severa years ago by A. B. Powell, of Dun can, who kindly included his son Ed, in the location. Since thei the location work has been dom annually and sufficient value wa daveloned to make if attractive

The sale was for cash, but the amount is not given out, but ludg- ing from the smile on Eds face, it was entirely satisfactory 10 him. Other sales have recently been re- ported in the Sylvanite district and 1t is predicted that production will be a feature of the district in the near future.
 Mohaye Miner H. l.. McCarn. general manager of the Rainbow Mountain Mining company, was a kingman visitor this week and re- ports that the main shaft of the property has reached g depth of about 37O feet. Good ore has been carried down the shaft from the level above and the average IS about forty inches, of valne of about sos to the ton in gold and silver, the gold value predominant ing. The shaft will be continued to the 400 level, where drifts will be run off on the vein and the shaft continued to the 800, where it will remain some time, while the ground at and above that point is throughly exploited. The sinking below the old level of the Rainbow has demonstrated the fact that all the ore bodies improve in gold as lepth is attained, the ores chang ling from few dollars in gold at the grass roots to as high as five ounces at lower depth. The vein maintains it's width and appears to be stronger at the present depth and more uniform than at the up- per levels.
 Mohave Miner: Loper x Car ney. who have been developing a recent discovery in the Wright ! Creek section, have their arastra almost completed. The arastra is to he operated by gas engine power land it is thought will enable the men to work few tons of the ore daily. The mine has been opened 10 d depth oi almost 1O0 feet and shows splendid body of ore
 Samples taken across forty inche: of ore gave value in gold of 56$ l This average is said to have beet

Shedule X.

Some members Of the MARYLAND
delegation, according to a dispatch
from Washington this morning, seem
impressed by the argument of the
Wool Trust that any serious reduc-
ton in the duties on wool will reduce
the revenues of the country tremen-
dously and may have sad results.
One of the chief objections which
economists urge against the pro-
tective tariff system is that as long
as the protective idea is regarded, any
tariff law must necessarily be bad as
n fiscal measure. In other words, IL
the prime object Of a tariff law Is to
produce revenue. the men who make
that law must go about it from that
standpoint only, and not be bothered
with incidental questions of protec-
tion. England secures big revenues
through duties upon an insignificant
number of commodities.
If the House Democrats in prepar-
ing their new wool and other sched-
ules forget ali about wool dealers and
manufacturers and consider only the
matter Of revenue, they will doubtless
be able to make such reductions as
will satisfy the people.-Baltimore

Thursday afternoon the peculiar
sight of a negro sitting up on the
ridge Of the Boyle stables building
was to be seen from o'clock on un-
til when the time decided upon was
up and the wager that caused him
to do this strange act was won.
1t seems that Brown has been Grip

able to do any work and yesterday af-
ternoon he was complaining of the
neat and lack of present funds when
the suggestion was made to him that
he sit upon the house in the sun for
the remainder of the day in order to
make IS cents. He agreed, if the
sum was made an even dollar, which
was quickly raised by the crowd of ne
groes. and he set out for the building
where he secured the consent Of the
owners to get on top of it. He as
cended to his heated and airy perch
at 3 o'clock and remained there un-

the afternoon, he came down to got
his hard earned dollar. a number of
persons were attracted by the man
who sat quietly on the building wait
ing for the time to pass.
