The history of its Irish rival may be definitely traced to the foster care of Raleigh. 1t spread Into Lancashire. Its path through the Low Countries may be followed as clearly as the march of the army worm.

Sofia, Dec. 6.-It was learned, to- day, from an authentic source that the Balkan allies, when peace is made with Turkey, will insist that the Turk Bulgarian frontier, to be agreed upon, shall extend from Midia, on the Black Sea, in the north, through Sarai and ChorIu. to the Gulf of Saros.

smelter is practically finished and ready to receive ores, as soon as the expert gets on the ground and starts the big crude oil eng ines, which will furnish power for the plant. About fifty tons day are now coming into the plant and are being put into the big storage bins by a belt conveyor run by a gasoline engine temporarily. The big Sanrer motor truck, which carries six and a half tons of ore at a trip, is making six trips every day and has proven most satisfactory success to the management. Up to Saturday morning it had travelled 1730 miles and the solid rubber tires show little wear. It travels 94 miles day, using four quarts of cylinder oil and 20 gallons of gasoline. It moves about 40 tons of ore daily over a distance of seven and one- quarter miles. The Southern Pa cifc has published rates to the smelter from nearby points, which went into effect March '. The rate from Patagonia on ores less than $15 in value is S1 50 per ton, and from Rillito, Vail, Calabasas and nearer points $1.
 Prescott Journal, Miner: By the filing for record yesterday of a trust deed by the Tiger Gold company to W. J. Aurelius, as trustee, of Springfield, H., the affairs of the above mining company are greatly improved. A plan of future de- velopment results from an examin- ation recently conducted, and gives that undertaking promising future. The deed is executed for the purpose of funding and paying the mortgage and outstanding in- debtedness, the enlarging and mak- ing of extensions, together with the purchasing of an entirely new equipment to treat the ores. Gold bonds are to be issued in the sum of $500,000. running from ten years and bearing an annual pay ment of 6 per cent. The property is said to be showing up satisfactor- fly from recent development at depth, in fact no time in the many years the property has been in operation have the determinations made been so attractive for making one of the biggest producers in the Bradshaw mountains. The facil- ities to handle the large tonnage available will have to be installed, and for this purpose tbe financial move above was decided upon. This will regenerate the gold pro- position which has been conducted under adverse conditions for some time in the face of the best show ing in large and rich ore bodies ever developed on the different
