Every, Red Cross Christmas seal that is sold is a real bullet in the fight against tuburculosis. These seals last year helped to support thousands of needy tuberculosis patients and to give them a chance for life. They provided for many visiting nurses, whose hundreds of thousands visits brought instruction and cheer to nu- merous patients. They helped main- tain dispenscries in scores of cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where thousands of consumptive patients re- ceived free treatment, aid and advice. They provided the means to purchase millions of copies of circulars, pam phlets and other literature with which the public has been educated about tuberculosis. They have established and helped to maintain more than 75 open air schools for children who needed open-air treatment. These are just few of the ways in which the 33o, ,0O0$ received last year was ex- pended, This year a million dollars is needed. Surely any one can help by buying at least ten seals.

Copper Mountain
 Mines to Resume.

Work has been resumed on the Eclipse group of claims, located on Copper Mountain, about twelve miles northeast of Searchlight. This prop. erty is owned by the States Mutual Consolidated Company. of which Mrs. V. A. Brewer is the president and manager. Mrs. Brewer is spending considerable of her time at the prop erty and has put a force of men at work. This is a copper proposition, and some years ago there was consid- erabIe ore shipped, which demonstrat- ed that this property could very easily be put in the producing class.
 Mrs. Brewer states that as soon as the buildings are ready there will be ore wagons and stock here to haul this ore from the mine to the railroad. One tunnel, that when in little far ther will give depth of 375 feet ap. proximately on the ledge, shows a streak of about one foot of ore which is decidedly high grade, some assaying 80 per cent copper. Another tunnel, higher up, shows about four feet of good ore, an average sample across the vein giving returns of 23$. It is ex- pected that by sorting, the grade of the ore can easily be kept at figure that will permit of shipping at a profit. fit.-Searchlight Bulletin.

A mining deal of more than ordinary significance was consummated yester- day whereby D. A. Seamen of the city took four-year lease on the Juanita Mining and Milling company's prop erty In Crook Gulch, about seventeen miles south of Prescott in Yavapai county. The property is one of the gold bearing properties in the Brad shaw mountains. Mir. Seaman left last night for the mlne to look over the lay of land so as to make his plans for the extensive improvements that are contemplated. The lease carries with it the machinery also on the mine, but the understanding is also, it is said, that if the option is not ex- ercised a twenty. stamp mill and such improvements as are put in must be left to the present owners. A royalty on the produce of the mine In the interim between the date of the talk ing out of the lease and the expiration thereof must also be made. The price paid for this transaction was not re- vealed yesterday but it is understood to be good round sum, as there is every prospect of a richly paying mine.-Arzona Republican,
