Olive Industry to Be Given Trial.

An industry which has been started in Arizona and one which will without any question prove a great winner in due time, has been started at Casa Grande While in this particular in stance the industry is in it's in fancy but from the expressions of those familiar with the olive industry there is every reason to believe that in time it will prove one of the great resources of the state.
 E. J. Vance, who has large farming interests at Casa Grande has had a portion of his farm prepared and is now having olive trees to the value of S22, : 500 set out. The work of clear ing the land has been in pro gress for several months. The trees which are being set out were shipped in from California and cost 50 cents each. There are 43, eco trees in 5he lot. cost ing in the aggregate S23, ,O0O.
 While it has been cOnclusively demonstrated that olives will grow well in this section, this is the first large enterprise of the kind to Ee started. MT. Vance came to this section several months ago from California where he was engaged in olive culture. e.-ArizOna Record.

 ''Mines are more often made than discovered" D. c. Jack ling, the pioneer in the DOT phyry" copper field, remarked recently. T can recall almost no instance of big copper mines developed in the last few years that were rot known for years before their development was taken up. Of course, develop ment of mining and metallur- gical methods is responsible for the existence of many great mines of today. In the early rush of prospectors great prop critics were passed over that later became more valuable than the richest of the early strikes.
 Take Utah Copper, for instance, the first and largest porphyry copper mine and considered by some to be the greatest copper mine in-the world The richest shoots were discovered and worked by men of Johnston's army returning from California thru Utah. The Ray Consoli- dated property was examined by Dr. James Douglas in 1883, but at that time methods had not been found that could handle it's immense tonnage of low grade ore at profit. -Mohave Coun- ty Miner.

THE THREE R MINE.
5000 Tons of Ore Per Month to
 Be Shipped.

The new 5O-hOrSepOwer hoist | has arrived at the Three R mine and is being installed this week. During the work of inStalla ton,
 the shipments of ore from the
 big producer have been cut down from over a hundred tons a day
 to about fifty tons per day, but
 by the 10th of this month, when the new hoist is up and working, the regular shipments will again be esumed.
 The ore from the Three R has been going to the smelter at El PaSO, but during the recent strike of Mexican laborerS at the smelter, only part of the ore was shipped there, the other go- ing to Hayden. It is expected shipments Gs will be resumed to El Paso this week.
 While the work of installing the new hoist necessarily inter- fered with the usual output of ore, causing the reduction in shipments noted, the same num- Der of men are employed a5 the works. Superintendent Wanvig says 128 men are regularly em- Dloyed, mostly Mexican laborers, but there are probably eighteen or twenty Americans at the mine, including the clerical force, engineers, draughtsmen and skilled mechanics. There is, therefore, population of be, tween 300 and 500 people in the hills near the mine.
 As soon as the new hoist is erected. shipments will be re sumed at the rate of 100 tons a day, the rate which has been aintained regularly for months. While this production may vary a trifle, it is the superintendent's intep tion to keep the monthly average at 5000 tons. The ore being shipped averages about 9 or 10 per cent copper.-Santa Cruz Patagonian.

Former Governor Dead.

John J. Gosper, former terri torial governor of Arizona, sec retary of state of Nebraska and an official in the civil war died in Los Angeles in poverty. He was a charity patient at the county. hospital and was T years old He was well known among the old school poll Gticians and was for time president of the Los Angeles city board of education.
 Gosper was secretary of state from 1879 to, 1881, when Gen. Fremont was governor of the territory, and succeeded to the governors office for few months following Fremont. He is also mentioned in one of the histories of the state as having been chief justice of the territorial court, but this appears to be involved in doubt. The Progress.

Arizona Leads Other States.

According to State Mine Jn- SpectOr Jack Bolin, a practical miner of many years experience. mining conditions in Arizona are better in the state by a large margin, than in any other in the union, or in any country in the world
 Six thousand men are employ ed in mines of Arizona In the past six months only twenty eight accidents have occurred among this great army engaged in the most hazardous of occu- patiOnS.
 The mining pay rolls of Ari- zOna aggregate over twenty mil lion dollars a year.
 In an interview with the Ari- zona Democrat MT. Bolin said:
 Why, don't you know that the mining industry of this state at this time is paying out wages at the rate of eighty dollars Fer capita, for every man, woman or child in the state?
 It is a pleasure at this time to pay a tribute to the heads of the Copper Queen; the United Verde and other gigantic mining concerns in Arizona along this line. I never make a request for an improvement, some new appliance, any little, or even big thing looking to increased safety of the men, that the mine owners do not cheerfully grant. l believe there is a standing order for all superintendentS to meet the mine inspector more than half way in any worthy un- dertaking for the safety of the men,"

Appearing before Judge Maclay, the sheriff plead ed guilty to the charge, and was fined S1O, which he paid, al- though the justice informed him that the maximum penalty was $500 and six months in jail.
 Wheeler left shortly afterward for Tombstone with three pri- sOners who have been bound over to the superior court.

CANANEA.
Conditions Are Gradually improving
 at Copper Camp.

Word comes from Cananea to the effect that conditions are gradually improving though yet by no ways near the normal, says the Douglas International Last week the Puertecito mine
 which was closed for month
 was partially started up and a
 mum Der of the old employees given employment. Besides this
 were a number of miners put to
 work in other properties in the
 district.
 It was learned yesterday that
 it was the intention to start up
 one unit of the concentrating
 mill this week and to supply
 this it will require further in
 crease of miners. In all it is expected that the force of the Cananea- company will be iu- creased by about two hundred men this week. Inquiry as to when the Cananea company would reach the limit of opera tiOn which was in evidence be- fore the shut down was caused
 by the burning of the railroad
 bridges brought no definite re- ply. That will depend on the spirit which prevails in the camp, as after the Urea tment of General Manager J. $. Douglas, who was driven from the camp by threats, the company will naturally insist that assurance be given of full protection be fore it Ulakes preparation for full resumption.
 It was the disposition of the eastern directors to close the camp entirely and this would no doubt have occurred only for the insistence that such action would be so great a hardship on the men left at work when the partial shut down occurred.
 Mir. Bonillas, the new pre- fectO, is proving to be a most excellent man for that position at Cananea under present and recent conditions. He is man of splendid judgment and un- doubted patriotism in the cause of Sonora and is doing all in his power to bring about a condition in Cananea that will warrant the Cananea Consolidated Copper company to push their enter prise to the full limit and to warrant others in the district to do the same.
 A number of changes have been made under the new man. agement and a goodly number of employees have been discharg- ed on the simple theory that the | work of the company did not | require their continuance. In this curtailment of the force in several departments the Amer jeans have been more in evid- ence than the MeXicans.
 It was learned yesterday that l this week some 70 cars loaded | with supplies of various kinds and which have been held at 1 Naco and on other available | between NacO and | Douglas during the past month will go forward to Cananea this l week.
