 will it be for many 8 day, even with the installation of new mill of large capacity, which is looked for in the near future.
 Bisbee Review Alfred Paul left yesterday morning for the new silica quarry, which he has opened up in the Whetstone mountains on the Tucson extension of the El Paso & Southwestern railroad, seven miles south of Land Station on the old Benson route. This property was located some time ago by Dr. Rieketts and Mir. Paul was asked to take charge of its operation. Mir. Paul stated that he was now working about twenty men and was making shipments of silica to both the Greene-Cananea company at Cananea and the Cop per Queen in this city. The pro- duct is now being hauled to the railroad by teams a considerable distance, but when the new exten- sion of the Southwestern to Tucson is completed the haul will be very short one and 1t is likely that a spur will be run to the quarry. MT. Paul has been in the business of taking out silica for the Calumet & Arizona shelter for several years, operating the quarry near Forest station.
 Florence Blade: Lee Troxel was down from the Oklahoma camp, Thursday, and brought with him a fine specimen of nickel ore, taken from the bottom of a 125-foot shaft on one of the Oklahoma company's claims. The presence of nickel in the ores of this group, in con- mercial quantity, has just been determined by analysis. The ana ysls shows an average of 24 per cent nickel in these ores, or 50 pounds of nickel per ton of ore, the commercial value of which would be about $36. The interest ing feature of the discovery is the size of the ore bodies carrying the valuable metal. At the 125 foot level, from which point the ore for the analysis was taken, the vein, says Lee, is SO feet wide and the ore extends from wall to wall. Beside the nickel value the ore also carries copper, gold and silver, in fair percentage. We have been aware of the presence of nickel in the ores of the Mineral Hill district for 25 years past but never found it in commercial quantity, but only from a trace to One-half of one per cent. The dis covery of the metal in the Okla homa group in workable per cent age will add greatly to the value of that property.

 Globe Belt: The Miami Copper Company is mining and concen- trating 5000 tons of ore per day and the mill is reported to be doing excellent work, though expert ments are being made in the sixth unit with roughing system, and with a view of increasing the eff ciency of the crushing department. Emil Deister, formerly of the De ister Concentration Company, has erected one of his new six. decked slime treating machines, below the first unit and is conducting tests to determine its efficiency.
 Florence Blade: Supt. Jas. Weary, of the Magma company, was here Saturday on his way home from Phoenix. Another wonderful strike has just been made in the Magma mine, on the S00-foot level. A cross.cut has been extended through a band of quartzite and another most remark able "pay streak" encountered. The streak is four feet wide and the ore for this entire width averages 72 per cent copper and 30 ounces silver per ton. This ore is next thing to bullion. The cross. cut also demonstrated that the vein at the 800 level is fully sixty feet wide and carries phenomenal values in copper and silver all the way across the sixty feet No copper mine Tn the world can equal the Magma in richness.
 Prescott Courier: Tunnels on the Nellie Starbuck group, on Slate creek, which have been boring into the mountain for several years, are still being pushed ahead by Major A. J Pickrell, until the longest one has now penetrated the Clay Bank claim and has run into the Mollie Starbuck, total length on the vein of 1900 feet In addition to this 1900 foot tunnel, there are also two others at higher levels in the same mountain and upon the same vein, one being 800 feet in length while the other has pene- trated the mountain 150 feet A distance of 5000 feet yet remains to be driven, if thought advisable, before the longest tunnel would penetrate ground belonging to other owners.
 Prescott Courier: The Indepen. dence group of six gold claims, owned by J. A. Forbes and others, and situated about eleven miles south of Prescott, on the Jersey Lily road, are among the best in this county, considering the amount of development done. The Inde- pendence claim (then called the Gold Leaf) was shipper of rich gold ore fifteen years ago. Since that time and since it changed its name to the Independence, it has been considerably developed and has had small mill installed, which was worn out in the work

TO COMPEL TAPPING.
Aldermen Will, it is Believed, Pass
Ordinance Compelling Sewer
Tapping.

During recess in the Board of AL
dermen last night Mr.. Ballenger sta
ted that he would in the future call
from the table an ordinance compel
ling persons who own property on
streets where sewers have been con-
structed or abutting on alleys where
the same now exists to tap them.
The ordinance was passed by the Com
mon Council April II, 1911, but laid
over by the Aldermen. It provides
that all property situated contiguous
to sewers must be connected within
! year from the passagc3of the meas
ure. Mr.. Ballenger will offer an
amendment giving property-owners
three years in which to make connec-
tions. 1t was generally admitted by
other members of the Board of AL
dermen that the ordinance should be
passed, it being maintained that sew
er-tappingis really the backbone Of all
health requirements.

PREVAILING HOT SPELL.
No Relief in Sight for This Territory.
Death Toll is Large.

The prevailing heat wave extends
over large portion of the country,
and, according to the weather fore
caster, there is no relief in sight for
this vicinity. About seven o'clock
last evening the light zephyrs which
during the day had been waited at ir-
regular intervals from the south
freshened into. a cooling breeze which
afforded temporary relief. The re-
freshing wind, however, was short
lived, and soon diminished, when pre-
vious sultry conditions again pre-
vailed. The temperature during most
of last night was oppressive.
While the weather is uncomfOrtably
hot in this city, no prostrations from
heat have been reported. Other cit
les, however, are not so blessed. In
some places people have become heat
crazed and have committed suicide.
In other cities the death toll has been
large.
Especial care should be taken dur
ing the prevalence of torrid waves,
especially by the old and those whose
vitality is at low stage. There is a
diversity Of opinion as to what should
be eaten during spells Of trying weat-
her. Some insist that as little as pos
sible should be taken, and that of the
lightest variety. Others, however,
think this is a mistake, and that sub
stantial food should be eaten mode
rately. BY so doing they insist vi
tality is maintained and that should
heat prostrations follow the system
would be in better condition than If
it was run down by abstaining from
al but the lightest diet

BAD PLACE FOR CONVENTION.
Several Prominent Members Of Party
WOuld-bc MISUNDERSTANDING
Proceedings Today.

Steelpcr, Atlantic City, n. j., July
l0.-When the National Prohibition
today was called to order on the wind
swept steel pier, there was every pros
pect Of 4 lively contest for the presl-

deadlock.
Candidates for first place most
mentioned were Eugene w. Chaplin,
Of Arizona, the candidate four years
ago; A. J. Houston, of Texas, des-
cendant of General Houston of the
Alamo; Charles Scanlon, Of PittSburg,
and O. w. Stewart of Chicago. Aaron
W. Watkins, of Ohio, was about the
only man mentioned for vicc-president
He was the candidate for second
place four years ago.
Atlantic City is not the worst place
in the world to hold a convention in
July and that may account for the
fact that there were today more than
two thousand prohibitioniSts here, al
most all the delegates, all their alter
mates and many Of their wives and
relatives.
Charles b. Jones, of New York, Nat
ional Chairman, called the convention
to order and there was the usual pro-
cedure of electing temporary officers,
naming committees and speeches by
thhc temporary officers.
