Swansea Win Be Developed.

A Prescott dispatch says:-Im- portant development affecting the future of the Swansea Consolidated holdings near Bouse were learned here, and that the company will ex- pend large sum in exploiting their mining claims, was given publicity by the awarding of a contract on Shaft No. 6 to continue it to an additional depth of 1000 feet.
 This point was selected as the most favorable for this large development, where the highest grade of copper sul- phide ores were determined previous to shutting down the works few months ago.
 Several miners now in Prescott are preparing to leave in few days for the camp, and active development will begin this month, according to state- ments made. Another indication of the future of this proposition is that George Mitchell formerly the presi- dent of the old company, has taken over the Bouse and Swansea railroad and will supervise it's operation. The regenerating of the Swansea is at tributed to the recent trip made to the camp by w. Shutte, the banker of Holland, and who Is now en route to Europe.

cleanup of the Argonaut mill IS re- ported to have exceeded 50,0OO$, an excellent figure when it is remember ed that only forty stamps were en- gagged. Thus far Argonaut has paid out l, 200, ,OOO$ in dividends, and has a magnificent surplus in its treasury. It has been currently reported for several months that dividends would be the order of the day at the present time, but for the desire of the manage msnt to have ample funds to defend a suit instituted by neighboring con- cern.
 The report that negotiations are pending for the sale of the Wildman Mahoney mines to an Eastern syndi- cate by the Lincoln Consolidated Con- pany has aroused much interest among mining men who are familiar with the big group and it's splendid pos sibilitles.-Sacramento Bee.

Argonaut Still Rich.

The famous Argonaut mine in Anna. dor county, one of the oldest proper ties in the district, and the deepest in- cline mine on the mother lode, is claiming increased attention, due to discoveries of rich ore in the drift from the 3900-foot level. The drift was recently extended about 300 feet and a splendid body of quartz has been opened. The discovery of rich ore at this point conclusively proves that the veins persist to great depth in this district, and that the splendid success attending the deep mining in the Kennedy mine has been far from
 an accidental occurrence. The May

Topeka, Kan.-Hot winds, which
bring disaster to all crops, swept Kan
sas recently carrying with them the
hottest weather of the year. In many
sections OF the state the mercury went
nearly as high as in June, 1911, when
new records for the state were set
Few towns in the state escaped.
The scorching winds damaged the
corn crops principally and in many
sections the losses will be large. Sew
eral towns in the western part of the
state are facing water famines.- Hayes
has reported that its water supply is
running low and that unless a rain
comes shortly the situation will be-
come dangerous.
Clay Center and Phillipsburg report
ed the highest temperatures, 112 de-
grees. Concordia and Jetmore were
next in line with 10 each. Other
towns report temperatures nearly as
high.
All sections of the state need rain.
Several of the towns, including Con
cordia and Leavenworth, report heat
prostrations, none of which caused
death.

Colon, G. Z-If you wish to hear
language just say "Cucaracha" to
one of the engineers engaged in build
ing the central division of the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha in Spanish means a
cockroach. In the Canal Zone it
means the greatest of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
of the Culebra cut SO different and SO
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach 1 could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not so large. and he moves
much more swiftly
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year of their work on the canal-\ Be
tween then and July I, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards of material was
removed from the canal because of
it. The slide had broken nearly 1900
feet from the axis of the canal, and
covered an area of At acres. Last fall
the engineers were congratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut.
What is going to be the cost of
that slide to the United States?"
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass of earth and rock
''Well," the chief engineer replied, "our
estimate is that by the time it is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about 100000 more
than the cut would have cost If the
slide had not occurred 1t is still NOV
ing, and has broken SO far back that

Giant Steam Shovel.

now we are shoveling the crest away
from the canal in order to relieve the
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
in the cut at that point had been
carried to within Is feet of the canal
bottom. Digging out that Is feet of
material removed the support of the
Cucaracha, and down it came. If we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the Is feet with dredges,
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide"
What of the future?" asked lis
there any danger of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
Absolutely none, believe" he an
swered. When the excavating and
dynamiting have ceased and the wa
ter is in. it will be quite safe. We
have the slides and breaks mapped
out as far back as there is any indi-
cation of their extending. and are
working back to those lines. 1t is
merely a matter OF persistency and pa
tience.'
When will the water be let into
the cut?"
In October" replied Colonel Goe-
thals. But there will be no celebra-
ton over the event That one In JAM
uary, 1915. is giving us enough worry,
and we don't forget the premature and
ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand de
Lesseps many years ago. We will just
turn the water in-that's all. Then we
can complete the excavation there
with suction dredges, which will do
the work cheaply and rapidly"
And when will boats be passing
through the canal?"
THAT i cannot say, but the sooner
the better, for the operating crews
must be properly trained before that
January celebration I wouldn't have
an accident occur for anything If we
cannot have commercial vessels going
through before then, / shall ask the
government to send naval vessels
through. so the operating forces can
get the experience. Anyhow. i want

Delivers His Meat Cooked.

A Cottonwood Falls butcher has in
troduced an idea in his meat selling
business that is doubtless something
new to the average town and which
is winning the hearts of busy Cotton
wood Falls housewives.
In addition to selling his customers
meat, the butcher also does the cook
ing for them free of charge He has
converted the rear part of his shop
into a small, clean kitchen which is
furnished with gas range and plenty
of big porcelain cooking utensils.
These hot days the average house
wife finds roasting or boiling, which
requires several hours time, anything
but pleasant task, and now, thanks
to the ingenuity of their meat man.
Cottonwood Falls women are "cut-
ting" the whole business out. Instead.
if they order a beef roast in the morn
ing, they also order it well cooked and
delivered to their tables at IL o'clock.
That's all there is to it. The rest of
the meal, which will probably require
but a few minutes cooking, is duly
looked after, and at noon the roast.
or whatever variety of meat was or
dered, is brought, steaming and done

butcher has been doing a land Office
business, as his patrons find it great
convenience, especially in the hot
weather.
