Magma Copper Company.

The Magma Copper Company IS shipping about 100 tons of high grade copper ore weekly to the Fl Paso shelter. The ore is chaleocite and bornite, carrying high values in gold and silver. Virtually all ore produc- ed at present is taken from the de- velopment work, and very little sort. ing is done. About fifty men are em- ployed at the Magma at present Con- struction of the power plant was finish ed about two months ago. It contains two seats of two l0O-horse power boil CTS, using coal for fuel. as lngersoll- Rand Imperial type No. i0 compressor and a Kaidlaw Gordon cross compound compressor. The power plant is auto- matic, only one man being required to operate it. Beside the power plant the equipment consists of hoist operated by compressed air, situated in an adit beneath the surface, an of- flee building, living quarters for the men, mess ndIl, au up lo odtC assay office, and warehouse. These build-
 ngs are about one quarter mile from the mine. At the mine a blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and change room are situated. The Magma mine, about one mlle north of the townsite of Superior, was first woi king in 1874, during the Silver King boom. At that time the mine was known as the Silver Queen and considerable rich silver ore was shipped from the prop erty to Yuma. About two years ago the Gum, Thompson company acquir- ed control of the property sank a shaft to the 65)-foot level and cross cut the vein, encountering high grade chalcObite in the form of shoot over l30 feet long. They also sank to the s o foot level and uncovered high grade ore at that depth. The prop erty is attracting considerable atten- tion throughout Arizona because of the remarkably rich ore that is being extracted.-GlobeS Silver Belt.

Suffragists Plan
 Greatest Pageant.

A washington dispatch to the Fri bune says:-Preparations are being made for what it is declared will be the most beautiful pageant ever staged of woman suffrage and will take place on March 3, the day preceding the in- auguration of President Wilson. At the outset there seemed to be dis. position on the part of the police authorities to refuse permission for the use of Pennsylvania avenue owing to the possible conflict with the regu. lar inaugural ceremonies, but today it seems as if the threatened obstacle would be overcome.
 Many thousands of dollars will be expended by the suffrage workers in staging their great pageant. Here are some of the estimates arrived at by the preliminary work of the con- mittee:
 Materials for more than a thousand medieval costumes for the actors in the pageant will be required. Hun- dreds of caps and gowns will be pur- chased for the several contingents of college women who will march with hundreds of banners.
 Material will be required for the construction of twenty-five beautiful floats, which hundreds of horses will draw.
 The pageant is to be a celebration of triumph, an announcement by the women that they believe the time is

Good Showing On Nelson.

Lester Jackson, who arrived yester- day from the War Eagle Gladiator camp near Grown King, gives good report of the mining outlook, in that section of the Bradshaws, but is par ticularly enthusiastic over the show ing made on the Nelson, which is ex- citing more comment and attracting more attention than any other strike made in that belt in many years.
 He states the recent discovery made by Manager Harrington, in cutting in. to four-foot body of high grade gold ore, occasioned some excitement, but as the tunnel has been driven through the shoot to point about 200 feet fur ther, with six-foot pay streak being in evidence in the face, the develop ment has renewed interest in the great possibilities of the undertaking and there is now no doubt of what the future will determine.
 Mr. Jackson states that he inspected the property with other miners, and all were pronounced over what is in- controvertibly tablished in the mak- ing of another big gold producer Samples cut from four and and one half feet of the ore in the face gave values of lS$ in gold, while the eigh, teen inch streak showed 7O$ per ton. The face of the tunnel is now over 700 feet in on the vein, and is destined to go 1000 feet under the present con- tract.
 Approaching what has been accom- plished, Manager Harrington has de- cided to go to point about 400 feet south of ths mouth of the tunnel and sink a shaft on the big outcroD to en- counter the vein that is in evidence in the tunnel. Work begins i'm ediately at this point. The magnitude of the Nelson is further exploitation can be inferred from the fact that the com pany owns sufficient ground to drive the tunnel for a distance of over 1000 feet, which will give a depth of over 700 feet from the apex of the range. Aside from the interests of the Nel- son, there are other owners who are located on that lead to the north and who are particularly interested in the work as it goes ahead. The Lincoln is practically on the same belt,. with a parallel vein lying short distance tc the east, with the same mineralogicaI characteristics in ores To the west a short distance lies the War Eagle holdings which are developing into a producer of great possibilities. The Nelson Assures cut through the center of that mineral system, and swiftly the prime pal of what depth is capable of accomplishing in mining in that as well as other fields will be established
 The strike on the Nelson may be conservatively stated to be nothing more or less than the creation of big producer of the future, and which for the amount of work performed is ex- citing more interest in mining circles than has ever before been known in the gold fields of this county in recen, years. The intention is to treat at the Grown King mill about 200 tons of orc taken out from the rich shoot Tn order l to arrive at definite values eS-PreScOtt Journal Miner.

Gold and Commodity Prices

Sir Edward Holden. in recent ad- dress to the Manchester (Eng gland) Statistical Society, discussed the ques- tion of British gold reserves and the gold question in India, Ia passing, the speaker, whose remarks appear in the London Bankers Magazine, took issue with economists who advocate the quantitive theory, or the theory that prices depend on the quantity of gold. These economists, according to the speaker, only touch the fringe of the question, who also said, Git is quite evident that, when credit balances are being created by loans day by day, and are being used for the pur- chase of commodities, it is the increase or decrease of these credits which af- fleets prices to a much greater extent than the actual quantity of gold, al though we must always remember that credit is based on gold. In recent years, foreign countries have establish ed many new banking institutions in various parts of the world. Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Switzer- land have established banks in South America and in the East. A large de- velopment in banking has also taken place in Russia during the last few years. All these new banks have been engaged in creating credit in the same way as the banks here create it, and this credit is also being used for pur- chasing commodities. In view of this, Sir Edward maintained that prices have been affected much more by these created credits than they have been by the actual gold. In con- cluding his remarks, Sir Edward Hol- den also brought out the fact that the worlds total production of gold during the last twelve years has been about 900 millions sterling. which has been distributed approximately as follows:
 Used in the industries. f207 ,O0O, ,OOO To South America ,,....... S0.0O0, ,000 To United States........... 16O, ,OOO, ,OOO Taken by the banks of is

One-ninth of the total gold produc. tion of the world for the last twelve years has been absorbed by India. In all other cases where gold has been taken by banks or by countries it has been either for the purpose of cur rency or for the basis of their banking systems, while in India, although a small proportion may be used for cur rency, the great bulk of it appears to have been hoarded.

Vionders of Victoria EaIIs.

Victoria falls is in shape like huge capital T--the falls represented by the top of the letter and the outlet by the stem. The water pours into great pool mile long and escapes byNa naF- row outlet not more than 150 feet wide in places. The water pours into the pool with a roar that may be heard twenty eight miles and stirs up a spray that causes constant rain to fall in it's immediate territory. This spray is so great that it looks like cloud against the sky and may be seen before you hear the roar of the falls. Yet the water from this great pool es- capes almost as quietly as water from an undisturbed lake. After the water escapes from the great pool below the falls through the stem of the letter T it makes a turn at right angles and sweeps around like the capital letter D. Yet there is no great disturbance in any part of the outlet from the falls. At Niagara the whirlpool rapids is one of the worlds wonders. Here the riv- CT a few hundred feet below the falls seems to be navigable.-E. ". Howe's Monthly.

Mechanism of the Ear.

Compara lively few people thoroughly realize what a delicate and sensitive structure the human ear really is. That which we ordinarily designate so is, after all, only the outer porch of a series of winding passages which, like the Hobbies of a great building, lead from the world without to the world within. Certain of these passages con tain liquid, and their membranes arc stretched like parchment curtains acro=s the corridor of different places and can be thrown into vibrations or
 made to tremble like the head of drum or as the surface of a tambou- rine does when struck with a stick or with the fingers. Between two or three parchment-ike curtains a chain of very small bones extends, which serves to tighten or relax these membranes and to communicate vibrations to them. In the innermost place of all row of white threads, called nerves, stretches

hewton's ~observatorv.o

There is an interesting mystery as- soeiated with 35 St. Mary's street, once the home of Sir Isaac Newton, which is now in the property market. On the roof there used to be a curious structure made almost entirely of glass, and for many years this was confidently believed to have been Sir Isaac Newton's observatory. Fanny Burney, whose father, the noted musi- elan. Dr. Charles RuFney, was at one time an occupfer of the house. occa- used the erection as a study, and in her memoirs of 1er father she refers to it as Newton's observatory. In 1855 doubt was cast upon the story by John limbs in his "Curiosities of London He asserts that the observ- atory was built by a subsequent ten ant, a Frenchman. It has been fur ther declared that this Frenchman not only built the room. but also equipped it with various instruments and then, claiming that it was the observatory of Newton, charged fee for admis- sion to view.-Westmin Gazette.

Writers of Historic Songs.

Most of the songs that have made history were written by men who had no other claim to immortality. The "MarseiIaise'' is the only production of Rouget de Lisle which has survived, and "The Wearing of the Green was the work of an anonymous purveyor of ballads for the street hawkers of Dub lin Max Schneekenburger an obscure Swabian merchant, who never pub lished anything else, composed in 184O some verses of which the burden was thus translated:
 Dear fatherland no danger thine, Firm stand thy sons to watch the Rhine.
 Little was heard of these until thirty years later, when the Franco-German war gave them an enormous vogue. They were then adopted as the national anthem of United Germany, and year Iy pension of 5000 marks was confer red on the composer of the tune to which they were set.-London Chroni- cla

Seven Wonders Of the World.

We have no indication of the exist ence of a cyele of seven wonders until about the end of the second century B. c. Then appears in an epigram of Antipater of sidon an enumeration of seven great works, which prove to be the very ones later appearing as the seven wonders. They are QD the walls of Babylon, (2l the statue of zeus at Olympia, (3) the hanging gardens of Semiramts at Babylon, (4) the Colossus of Rhodes. (5l the pyramids of Mem phis, (6) the mausoIeum of Halicarnas- sus, @ the temple of Diana (Artemis) at Ephesus. Within the next century Varro, by his leisurely alIusion to the septem opera, betrays. that the saying had already assumed current proyer- bial form. DiodorIs, in the second half of the same century (first B. O., speaks, too, of E'the so called seven works" and Strabo. a little later, uses the very phrase, 'the seven wonders" From this time on, at least, the septem mirac- ula have an assured place in all the common lore of Rome.

Keeps Tab on the shipowners.

The captains register at Lloyd's, the great English insurance concern. has aptly been described as the biograph- ical dictionary of the whole of the certifcated commanders of the British mercantile marine. In the register are entered the date and place of the worthy slippers birth, the record of his progress at sea, the ships he has commanded and the ships, if he has been unfortunate, that he has lost.
 There is also another register, con fdential index of British shipowners and the history of their ships, the num- Der of shares held by the owners. the trade of the ships during the year, the accidents which have befaI1en them and other important information.

Tsa4 For Silk Goods.

There is a simple method of finding out whether a piece of silk goods has been adulterated or weighted, as the manufa cturers call it, with tin, and that is to cut off small sample and burn it. Pure silk is animal matter, just as feathers or hair. made, as every one knows, by the silkworIn. Now. if pure silk is burned it will instantly curl up into crisp mass just as a burnt hair or feather will do, but if the silk goods has been adulterate ted with from 60 to 75 per cent of tin it will not do this. It will leave an ash in the sem blance of the fabric, much as a burned piece of newspaper will leave an ash that still shows the print ing. The harder and more firm this ash the more tin there was in the silk New York American.

Tapped the Church eieepera.

Nowadays no protest is made or any action taken against the sleepy man or woman who falls into a doze in the midst of the minister's sermon. In England 300 years ago the guilty of fender would have been severely rapped over the head by men espe- cial1y appointed to the task of keeping the congregation awake. For instance, in one parish in Shropshire, 25 shilI ings year was regularly paid to poor man to go about the church dur ing the sermon and keep the people awake. He carried a thin, long wand in his hand, which he could conve- niently stretch out over considera ble space and rap offenders on the head or about the shoulders. With women he was always instructed to be gen. tier, to tap softly, but persfstently, un= til the slumber was broken. For wo- men, it was learned, were not so amiabIe as men on being aroused from comfortable nap, and, if gentle means were not employed, were likely to get up and leave. causing no little commotion about them.-Chicago Trib- un6
