You can see that by the way
the papers tell all about an opera

page.
Sometimes, common people,
who aren't millionaires, have to
undergo operations, too, but it
doesn't matter about them.
Probably millionaires figure
that if God had known his bust

ferent from ordinary people, they
would never have to undergo

ton that looked uncommonly good, but prospectors have been of the opinion that it came from a distance back in the hills. On the other hand it is we'll known that veins have been found outcropping through that part of the valley, but none that gave values when assayed. It is now thought that many veins of ore may exist throughout the valley between Todd Basin and Mud Springs and prospectors will find this virgin field for exlporation.

 Artesian Belt: When, Novem- Der 5, 1911, the Paradise Mining x Milling Company's 100 ton con- centrator made its initial run at Paradise, Ariz., in the California mining district, Chricahua noun tains, 25 miles south of San Simon, there was launched forth an en- terprise badly needed in the dis trict, which it is believed will re. vive the once prosperous mining camp and inaugurate a new era ot production. The mill has capa- city of 100 tons, which can be in- creased according to need as the mill is built on the unit system and can be easily added to, On the first try out it was not led out to it's full capacity but the com pany expects before long to be running the mill at it's full capa- city, as there is considerable ore on the various dumps in the district, as we'll as several properties just now producing. The company will do custom work and treat its own ore. It controls several valuable claims close to Paradise, from which ore is now being extracted. The Paradise Mining < Milling Company is capitalized at $l00,- GOO, divided into 100000 shares of $1.OO each. The officers are as follows: Jas. B. Cunningham, president; Nathan Underwood, vice president and general man. ager; Edwina Robb Cunningham, treasurer; NJ. NJ. Hickey, secretary; Adolph Sommer, mill superin- tendent.

MINING N EWS.
6 Collection of Short Newsy Items From Among the Mines ofArlzona.

drill hole No, 1 of the Southwest ern Miami Development company is now 1160 feet deep and has been in chalcocite ore for the last 50 feet. Manager F. w. Hoar of Globe said last week that the westerly continuation of the Live Oak ore body into Southwestern Miami ground has now been proven be- yOnd question. It is expected that assay returns will soon be avail able. A wire has been received from Thompson, Towle x Com pany to the effect that the stock will be listed on the Boston curb November 20.
 Tombstone Prospector: Within the last few days the whole situa- tioe in the mining securities mar ket has undergone a remarkable change. The market is now dominated by copper stocks and the indications are that these issues will be the leaders in a general upward movement. The startling statement of the Copper Producers association showing an unexpected decrease in the stocks of metal in this country of nearly 6,000,000 pounds, when an increase of some 100000 pounds had been expected, has moved the price of copper up to around 124 cents, and this advance is being reflected in the copper securities market. Coppers are at last coming into their own, and the higher prices are imminent, say the brokers. Money is in sight for the development of cop- per mines, and Arizona, the great est copper producing state in the union, will get her share.
 MOhave Miner: Last week Thursday the Tom Reed made it's regular monthly shipment of bul. lion to the mint, the value being above 65,000$. The mill has been operating only part of it's stamps during the month and usually makes a clear-up every twenty three or twenty-four days. The daily bullion average of the mill is more than 2,500s per day, and this amount could be readily in- creased to HOODS, if an adequate water supply could be had. The mine Is in condition to make big output of ore of a high value, while there are thousands of tons of ore in the old workings that will average about 16S to the ton. It is apparent that this ore will have to be milled some time or other and 1t is the theory that the present time Is not propitious on account of lack of large milling facilities and a big water supply. With changed conditions in the gold fields of the county water in large quantity will be either dew eloped or brought in and a mill suitable to all requirements will surely be installed.
 Mohave Miner: Near the station of Mineral, on the Western Rail way of Arizona, three miles south of Chloride, Chris Bran, pros pector. has just uncovered vein of gold bearing ore that gives promise of great things. The ore gave assay results of about 2O0$ per ton, while the vein will all pay to ship just as it is broken down. The railroad track crosses the vein

THE LITTLE WILLOW TREE
CHURCH.
The Pastor Attempts to Deliver a
Lecture and is Interrupted

The colored pastor had just returned
from his summer vacation, and had an
nounced beforehand that he would de-
liver a lecture on Emigration at
the Little Willow Tree Church on
the following Thursday night There
was a large audience, but the night was
dark within and without 1t was sum-
mertime. The church was specially dec
GRATED for the occasion, and the old man
found when he entered that the mem
bers had anticipated his return by dec
Grating the church i'll becoming manner.
All around the walls were garlands of
evergreens, and over the pulpit were
foot-high letters covered with arbor
vitae, "WELCOME HOME. The
old man after his wont became at
once confidential with his hearers and
in voice deep and resonant, and full
of pathos, announced:
My brederin and sisters, Ise just re-
turned from a little excursion to Ar
kansas, where I visited Little Rock, the
Indian Mounds, and several other sum
mer resorts, and | propose dis ebenin,

began

and expatch from DER souls de seeds

About that time there was a flash of
lightning. and a big plank was torn
off the side of the church Everybody
was in a state of excitement, of course,
and old brother Jones, one of the dea-
cons, jumped into the middle of the
aisle and exclaimed,

in and said
Boys, they have all been bounc-

who's been bounced?' he was
asked"

body laughed.
Goldberg went on home, and the
next day at his office attempted to
perpetrate the same story on his office
force. Boys he said, they have all
been discharged

A WARM DUTCHMAN.
Hans Lobert Says His Disposition is
a FirelesS Cooker.

Ort Lee again one morning just al
ter the recent heavy snowfall. He
wore no overcoat, as usual, and car
ried his hands in his side trousers
pockets.
'Ain't you cold this morning,
Hans?" he was asked, the thermom-
eter showing ~ degrees above.
Hans looked up from his p1odding
attitude of digging through the heavy
snow, it being yet too early for a
path to be beaten down. His face
wore a look of supreme disgust at the
query and with half grin he guttur-
aled back:
"Coldt? Wy, man alife, I couldn't
be coldt at the Nordt Pole-nor der
Soudt Pole De only blaze l couldt
be coldt at vas at der Equator"
That isn't cold country around
the EQUATOR was suggested.
That's der coldtest blaze in the
worldt'
"How do you make that out,
Hans?"
Il make it out dis way: At der
Nordt Pole they cannot calculate by
der demonmeder more as so degrees
below zero. At der equvator dey send
up balloons yet till der coldt gets to
80 degrees by zero?'
whats that got to do with your

Then Hans burnt a path through
