 Miami Messenger: The Miami Copper Go. will, beginning Dec. 10th, adopt the semi-monthly pay day. The second payday in De- cember will be Dec. 21. Thereafter the paydays will be the 9th and Dist of each of each month. The Inspiration Go. will also adopt the semi monthly payday, but the dates have not yet been decided upon.
 Arizona Democrat: The Home Run mine on Groom Creek is re- ported sold. Recent development has exceeded all expectations. A body of ore in the tunnel three feet in width has been exposed by recent work. The ore is of high milling grade. The district in which this property is located is the scene of much activity at the present time. More ore teams are running than at any time in the last twenty years.
 Miami Messenger: At Ray, Ari- zona, they fire off five tons of dy- namite at each change of shift, twice day, and the two per cent copper is going to mill at the rate of 5000 tons a day. The trains being run from Ray to the mill at the Hayden are the heaviest in the world, averaging 2000 tons each. These things are only little side lines in southwestern industrial activity. We have lots more on the shelves besides this sample.
 Florence Blade: The Gold Hill Mining Co.,, are preparing to install a whim at their Catalonia shaft which is now too deep to make hoist ing by windlass advisable. The Catalonia shaft is looking good Some valuable ore bodies have beer exposed in it. The property il situated 12 miles east of Florence and only 3 miles from the A. x E R. R., on the north side of th' river. There is no doubt that i can be made a profitable producer
 Wilcox News: B. k. Cole ant Martin Lintner, stockholders of tn Mascot Copper Company, returned to their homes in California Satur day after spending several day inspecting the property. The gentle men were very much pleased wit the stage of development at tn mine and did not hesitate to stat that they found everything bette than represented and predicte that the property was destined yield satisfactory results as soon a fully developed.
 Bisbee Review: According w. H. Gohring, superintendent one of the largest mines in the di trict, cats will be placed in the holc to eliminate the rats that have g so bad in many of the mine that they have taken to eating tt timber supports. The cats are r ported to be very wild but the will eliminate the evil. Anoth authority throws some light oh u ouhieot whan he said that no min

that the rats would leave mine before cave.in. This superstition has taken a firm hold of most of the old time miners of the country. Regardless of this, however, the Copper Queen people are thinking of putting rat catchers in their mines.
 Arizona Democrat; The Monte Carlo mine in the southern part of Yavapai county near Columbia IS producing some very rich gold ore. Some of the values run as high as $4OO a ton. A gasoline arrasta has recently been installed. Louis Bernard and John Ravelli own this property. There is a rich silver mine sixteen miles north and east of Wickenburg which is called the Monte Cristo. It is owned by Ezra w. Thayer of Phoenix, and is a good one judging from indications. This property is not near that Of Mir. Thayer.
 Florence Blade: Young Bros. have shipped one of their big churn drills from Courtland to the Alta Camp and the machine should ar rive here within a few days. The crew that had charge of the drill at Courtland will be transferred to Alta to run the machine. Surt. Gibbons will get the drilling plant in position to begin operations as soon as possible and it will not cease operations till all the big veins of the Alta group shall have been prospected to great depth The first hole drilled is expected to cut the Silverado vein at depth of 800 feet.

FINDS BIACKHAND
LETTER ON DESK
NORFOLK NAN Is WARNED NOT
TO TESTIFY BEFORE TO-
LICE JUSTICE.

II NORFOLK. VA, Sept 10.--What
BILLY Farnell wants to know Ia
whether the "blackhand letter. he
found on his ONCE desk Ia genuine
threat or joke. The letter, as far
a. appearances 60. has all the ear
marks Of being an official conn
munication from the dreaded secret
society. II conveys a specific threat,
Ii he does a certain thing In connec-
tion with the trouble between him
and Musco on the Virginia Beach Ca
sine dancing floor last Monday night.
X It was written by member OF
the Natal that organization has
adopted a new wrinkle. The body
Of the letter IS written in a Spanish
patcis. having an Italian wWd here
and there. At the top of the sheet
Of paper apparently torn from a
book. is blood dripping dagger and
At the bottom Of thes>fetter is the
dreaded black hand. There seems to
be some doubt as to the exact trasls-
lation Of the letter, for OF the half
dozen or more consulted yesterday
who are zbie.-to- understand Italian
and Spanish, no two agree exactly as
to the mea sing.
Farneii Ia not bothering about the
exact meaning of the words, what Ae
wants to know is this: Docs the
sender mean business. He seemed to
think 50 yesterday afternoon when he
took the letter to the police,
A liberal translation of the letter
Ii: II Won testify that Musco kicked

ceive vengeance from our companions.

threatening.

The fragrant thefts necessary to

more scandalous than here in Wash

saying that it was brought about
through the plotting OF the Defao-
cratic bosses.
The man that carried the Demo-
cratic primaries ne said. was
beaten I'm the national Democratic
convention, and another candidate
was nominated in his place
Roosevelt went on TO say that in
nearly every State. the Democratic
primary contest 'was not waged
against the bosses at all. but among
different candidates, each Of whom
was backed by the bosses in certain
States. and opposed by tie boss=s IN
others" He spoke OF the defeat of
Franklin Murphy. the Republican
boss in New Jersey, and added:

rid of one boss. Mr.. Smith, and has
apparently gone happily to bed with
another, Mr.. Nugent."

Marian came to America last May.
and went to live with her brother In
Newport News There she was
courted. she says, by James Foster, a
garage employee. who finally induced
her TO marry him.
She was unhappy and wrote to her
father in Scotland that she wanted
to come home. He sent transporta-
ton to the Old Dominion line, and to
the Anchor line ONCE In New York
When the Old Dominion liner Jeffer-
son reached here, Marian got ashore
and disappeared.
Investigation showed that she and
Harry r. Nolan. secretary to the
Panama legation and member of a
wealthy Western family, had register
ed at a Broadway hotel as man and
wife. The arrests followed
