Sunday from lew oays ulp u he Marie mountains and Blythe. He reports a recent gold strike Twenty miles west of Browns We'll Having been made by Casey, Con- ners and Bailey, who have located fifteen claims on a gold bearing ledge. Samples of the rock brought back by Mir. Hart showed assay values of over $200 to the ton. There is said to be considerable ex- citement in that section over the pew discovery.
 Prescott Journal Miner: Phil Pecharich, Jerome business man, who, is in the city visiting with Griends, made the important state ment yesterday, that the Little Daisy mine would begin shipping ore to Swansea during the week, and that very heavy tonnage was on the dumps Reports from un- derground development were to the effect that immense bodies of sul- phide ores were ready for stoping, and the creation of bonanza was practically established. T. H. Var den is on the ground superintend- ing operations.
 Paradise Record: R. D. Hall began sacking ore on the Turkey Greek group last week, for ship ment. The ore is being taken out rom the new working, place just below an old shaft on the Piute claim. High-grade lead.silver ore Is being taken out, and the vein is looking excellent. A large piece was taken out few days ago. It broke into several pieces, one of which was brought into town for Exhibition purposes and weighed 7, Ripping the scales at 40 lbs. It is a tine specimen that may run $70 or $80 to the tom If the ore will only bold out the company will have d nice shipping proposition, as it lies right on the surface and only a short distance from the road.
 Florence Blade: k. H. Hawkins and brother, who recently bought mining property, situated in the Hopper Creek district, about fifteen miles from Mammoth, are develop Ing the same, and have made a wonderful strike, in four foot vein. The strike consists of pay streak yielding copper oxide ore, farrying 533 per cent copper, and a92 ounces silver per ton of ore. Combination, ore of this character bad not been known in the district previous to this phenomenal strike. We congratulate the boys upon thelr good fortune and also the other claim owners of the district as this discovery will attract the at. tentlon of investors to the Copper Creek district.
 Florence Blade: The new boil. ers, large air compressor, hoisting engine, machine drills and other machinery will arrive within a few days for the Magma Copper Com pany. It is all of the latest and np-to-date patterns, and when this me mining equipment shall have been installed at the company's Su- perior mines, development work will proceed on a large scale. Pending sne arrival of this machinery, the Magma company's teams are busy hQnIInn n .,e ko~ m

 The old Queen can no longer be chased as a phenomenal prospect, but must now be regarded as a phenomenally rich mine, ready to begin profitable production. Reg ular ore shipments will commence the moment the new equipment is in place and ready for operation. Az heretofore stated in these col umns, the shipments, because of their remarkable value, will soon attract attention to the Superior district from every quarter of the globe and give the camp promin- ent position on the mining map.
 Prescott Journal.Miner: L. G.. Cuthbert, operating mines in the Walnut Grove section, on the west ern slope of the Bradshaw Noun tains, arrived in the city yesterday, and displays samples of very rich chloride of silver ore, recently de- veloped in shaft forty-five feet deep. He has one hundred sacks ready for shipment to the Needles smelter, which, he states, will aver age over 235 ounces to the ton. He is a recent arrival from Aspen, Colo, and says that the Bradshaw region is one of the best mineralized and attractive mining domains in the West. He is associated with William Hoggle, who preceded him to Arizona about two years ago. MT. Cuthbert will leave in a short time for Colorado, to bring his family to this city to reside per- manently.
 Douglas International; Charles Dolph, of the Grand Arizona Min ing Company, was in Douglas to- day and told the International that preparation was being made for the resumption of work on that property about the middle of the month, or not later than the 20th Mir. Dolph and his partner have owned this property for ten years and have done much work on it at various times. About one month ago work was discontinued because the air in the shaft was becoming progressively hot. The men who were at work were laid off on that account, though Dolph and his parner have continued to work. Air compressors have been ordered and are expected to arrive so that their installation may be completed by the middle of the month. When the air cOmpressors are in place the air can be driven to the bottom oi the shaft so that the work may be carried on without oppression from the heat.

New York Tribune Declare,
Troops VIII Not Move

The New York Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent, speaking of the
presence of the federal troops in
Washington, declares that they will
not be moved for some time; at least
not before the Virginia convention has
determined upon its action. He then
says that their presence has exerted a
serviceable influence upon the seces-
sionfsts.
Commenting on these statements. a
Richmond newspaper says editorially:
The Virginians and secessIonists, we
suppose. will understand so broad a
hint and regulate themselves accord
ingIy."
The confederate states commission
ers TO Europe are preparing to set
sail from New Orleans March 81. 1t
is also announced that General Bragg
has just issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting vessels from furnishing sup
plies to federal war vessels off the
coast OF the confederate states on
penalty of coniscation.

TUST lately 1 have been studying
this derelict drifting gaily on
the sea of time while her COM
panion ship has set sail on the
ocean Of eternity. And / honestly
believe I have found out something
about her.
She is sailing under the flag of
popular superstition. She takes ad-
vantage of 1t to enter harbors
where two good ships are just
ready to ''tie up; and she is ruth
less about crowding in between
them.
This popular superstition is that
she is Irresistible. But listen to
this-the superstition is not half so
popular as you girls think. You
have the idea that your charm of
inexperience dwipdles to nothing
when the widow and her knowledge
enter the social lists with you. You
think that a man will leave you any
time to follow worshipfully in the

Our Grocery Clerk
Says Cat Meats Cheap

What's home without a boarding
house to compare it to? Not that
boarding house missesses haven't got
their place in the world. Some Of 'em
ore our best customers.
But do you know Mrs. Lodgem? She
keeps boarders as long as she can, and
she buys all her groceries here. And
by the stingy little basketIoad she car
rIes away every morning, you'd think
all her boarders were toothless dys-
peptics. They probably are at that
after she gets through with them.
Along with her order each day she
gets cents worth of cat meat-scraps
that are only useful to fire at the cat.
This morning her little coon servant girl
came in for the order.
What kind of cats your missus got?'

The Seething Waters;
Or, an UnctuouS Revenge
Daily Discontinued story

Cholly Curtaincaller was an actor,
some of the critics thought. He was
cast violently as the hero in a ten
twent-thirt' melodrama, the mellowest
ever
Cholly's cue in the great scene was
the heroine's shrek. Heeding not her
heart breaking appeal to his pity, OF
which he was absolutely devoid, the
villain hurled her nightly and in two
matinees over the rail of the bridge into
the seething waters below. The seeth-
ing waters were six mattresses.
Then she shrieked. The critics said
1t was one of the best shrteks in melo-
drama 1t was Cholly's cue to hurl
himself over the same bridge onto the
same mattresses, with a brave, III
