Work is Pushed
 on fierro Mines.

A Silver City dispatch says:-The Phelps Dodge company is pushing work on its copper mines at Fierro preparatory to working them on a large scale and with a big force of men. The electrical engineer at Hur- ley who installed the plant at that place and has had charge of it will go to Fierro the first of next month to in- stall big electric plant for the Phelps Dodge people, the machinery for which has been purchased and is now on the way to the mines. De- velopment work at the mine has un- covered large body of very rich ore and all indications point to one of the richest copper mines in Grant county.
 Much interest is felt at Fierro In the reported deal by the Phelps Dodge people and the Santa Fe company to take over the latter's railroad from Deming to Santa Rita and Fierro and, it is understood at Fierro, if the deal goes through, the road from the juno tion at the Santa Rita branch to Fler- TO will be changed and placed upon higher ground and out of reach of the storm floods that annually sweep down the canyon on which Fierro is located, and which each rainy season do much damage to the roadbed.
 The force of men operating at Leo- pold has been increased during the past few weeks and about 50 men are now on the payrolls and much ore is being taken out and placed on the dumps to remain there until rail road is extended from Deming to Ty- rome. The Leopolds had small con. centrator at Leopold, but it is said this has been discarded and will not be used to reduce the ores.

The Men Who Succeed

as heads of large enterprises are men of great energy. Success, today, de- mands health. To all is to fall. It's utter folly for man to endure weak, run. down, half alive condition when Electric Bitters will put him right on his feet in short order. "Four bottles did me more real good than any other medicine ever took" writes Chas. B. Allen, Sylvania, Ga. After years of suffering with rheumatism, liver trouble. stomach disorders and de- ranged kidneys, am again, thanks to Electric Bitters, sound and we'll" Try them. Only 50 cents at H. H. Watkins.

Calumet G HecIa.

President Shaw of the Calumet & Hecla Mining company has returned from trip to the Lake and reports the developments on the West lode in the Superior property as Every sat isfactory."
 '~.i"The arount of opening to date," he says, lis com mparatively small and not yet safeguard to what we may expect in the future. Underground conditions in the other properties show no material change Construc- tion work at all the mines is going for ward in very excellent shape"
 It is reported that the Calumet & Hecla has decided to erect an electro lytic plant, in connection with the smelling works at Hubbell, Mich. The building will be about 250 by 150 feet, and will be located south of the boarding-house.
 The old mineral house is being torn down to make room for the new plant, in which the product of the low grades of mineral will be treated to recover the silver, instead of sending the pro- duct to Buffalo to recover silver values. The work will be started this year and completed in 19l3.-Boston Com mercial.

Rich Strike Made at
 the Commercial.

Arrivals yesterday from Copper Basin report recent determinations made by the Commercial Mining Con- nany as expressing the attention of every miner Tn the camp over the astounding values and the extension ,Oulh from the bottom of the Gar ,arino It'll zone where development is solng on and from which point ship ments are being made daily to Douglas smelters. The ore will run as high as 45 per cent in the red metal, is the conservative estimate of those who have inspected the product.
 Leading up to this remarkable show ing, a man familiar with the situation reviews the development by saying the drift started to the south of the bottom of the winze, that is 90 feet from the collar of the winze, and car ried sprinkling of native copper in gouge matter. Now the drift contains over five feet of this very high grade udJlNC SopPCt oiS "hiSil io CotlhdCC0 to run to forty-fve per cent in value, if not more.
 At the original shaft sunk to depth of about 4SO feet, where crosscutting to the west has been gong on, the porphyry and diorite formation has been passed and soft ground is being opened, which shows light chalco- pyrites. as well as this crosscut making water. Both of the above conditions are indicative of the sulphlde zone coming in, which also adds to the interest of the proposition generally. It is estimated that the crosscut will be driven about l5O feet more before it will get in line with the ore con- ditions shown at the work to the west, and where the big strike occurred a few months ago. and also where the remarkable showing made few days ago was accomplished.
 At another point in the winze, where the drift south at the 5O-foot level is being driven, and which has reached distance of l50 feet, the ore body measures fifteen feet in width. Sum marking the outlook at the Com. mercial workings, there never have been the attractive conditions as are now established, ant that the property has splendid future at every point under development has past the stage of speculation.
 Major A. J. Pickrell, in charge of the property, is in California, but is expected to return in a short time and will be joined at the camp by Dr Douglas, and others of the Copper Queen, who are interested Journal Miner.

The Nestor Won't be Here.

A letter from Hon. Frank Harris, edi-
tor OF The Ocala Banner and nestor of
the Florida press, is TO acquaint us with
the fact that he cannot be present al the
meeting of the Florida Press Associa-
lion. Mr.. Harris is one of the delegates
from the State at large to the National
Democratic convention in Baltimore
and he had arranged TO take steamer
Tor that city in company with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Powers. His ship will sail on
Friday afternoon from Jacksonville.
Mr.. Harris was on the program for
Thursday night, when he was TO de-
liver the response to the address of wei
come by Mayor Warren. This, Mr.
Harris assures us will be read by his
business manager, Mr.. T. V. Leaven.
good. Mr.. Harris was also on the pro
gram for the banquet Friday night.
Aside from the loss TO the asSocia-
tion by reason of Mr.. Harris inability TO
take part in the deliberations, the fact
that he can not be here to mingle with
the boys, Of whom he is always one Of
the youngest in heart, will have a de-
pressing effect on the gathering. Mr..
Harris presence always adds tone 10
any assembly he chooses to grace.
Knowledge of that fact is one OF the
chief reasons for his receiving such a
tremendous vote throughout the state
for delegate TO Baltimore. He is first
class specimen of the high.toned Flori-
da democrat.

PLATT'S PISTOL
CAUSES DEATH
OF Owner Through Careless
Handling.

Guy Plat, a young man living at
Longs Station, turpentine camp some
five miles south of Crescent City,
was killed on Saturday by the ac-
Cidental discharge of his own pistol.
The accident happened at the home of
Dave MulliS, near the Wyles school
house about 21a miles from Palatka.
Mr.. Platt had been out in the country
with party consisting of his wife, his
motherin-law, Mrs. Watson, and Mr..
Neil Brown. The party was driving in
wagon and had stopped al Mr.. Mullis'
home. In getting back into the wagon
il is supposed Mr.. Plat attempted to re.
adjust his pistol which he was carrying
handle down in his side pants pocket
He was drawing the weapon out when
il was accidentally discharged, the ball
penetrating his right side and passing
through his heart. Death was almost
instantaneous
Physicians were summoned, but Platt
was dead long before they could arrive
His body was brought TO this city where
il was prepared for burial by Mooney
and by him shipped TO Welaka, where
il was inferred. Justice John f. Mar
shall held an inquest and the verdict
was in accordance with the facts as
above stated.
Pldtt was young man of about 81
years and was tie contractor at Longs
Station, where he also served as a depu-
ty sheriff for Sheriff Kennerly. He was
authorized 10 carry the pistol, though
his manner of carrying il was moi in ac-
cordance with the most approved Off
cial custom.
Mr. Platt is survived by a wife and
one or two small children.

Committee Starts Right.

In electing f. J. Fearnsidc of Palatka
TO the craftsmanship OF the Florida State
Democratic Committee, the members
OF that organization showed rare good
wisdom, and Chairman FearnSide in
naming a committee TO form rules for
the guidance OF the committee in hand
ling business OF the future, fully justified
the confidence shown in his abilities.
There have been numerous questions
before the committee in the past few
months which have called for deCiS-
ion, but in the absence of rules these
questions have remained unanswered or
have been adjudicated as dictated by the
understanding or views of one man.
The matters which are continually com.
ing before the committee call for defin-
ite rules, SO that much of the commit
tees laborS will be Iightened.
The Metropolis extends best wishes
10 the new committee and trusts that
every question pertaining 10 preparing
for and conducting elections will, as far
as possible, be covered by definite rules,
so that the approach of the primaries
will find voters posted as TO the way
business is TO be handled. - Jackson
