Col G. T. Graham, who has decid-
ed to engage in the practice of law
in st. Augustine, has been on bust
ness trip to his old home in LeXing-
ton, S. c., and the Dispatch of that
place makes the following mention Of
lis visit:
col G. T. Graham, of Crescent
X. ity, Fla, is spending few days in
,qgton with his daughter, Mrs.
Karl F. Oswald, and looking after
legal business. Col. Graham will
shortly open law office in st. Angus
tine, about 50 miles from Crescent
City, and will later move his family
there. Since leaving Lexington sew
raj years ago to make his home IN
Florida Col. Graham has acquired
large real estate interests in his home
city. He has been repeatedly elected
mayor of Crescent City, each time
without opposition, the people, OF that
prosperous town having realized IN
him a man of sterling worth and Tar
seeing vision.
Col Graham for many years prior
to going to Florida made his home IN
Lexington. where he built up one OF
the largest and most lucrative Glen
teles of any lawyer in the Carollnas.
The court records of Lexington show
that he has been engaged in most, if
not all. of the large cases treid at
Lexington during his stay here, APP
earring either for the prosecution or
defense. He is astute, well learned
in the law, honest in his convictions
and at all times fair to his opponents.
He is an able, fearless and conscien-
tious advocate, at all times convinc--
NJ. and no lawyer has ever attained
higher success at this bar.
"On account of large interests at
Crescent City, Col. Graham's family
will not move to their new place of
residence until the early fall. 1t was
hoped and confidently expected that
~ol. Graham would return to his old
home here, but friends in st. Angus
tine have prevailed and urged upon
him to come to that Ancient City,
where. it goes without saying, he will
soon make himself felt as a leading
lawyer, and progressive, public spirit
ed citizen.
"Col. Grham will return to Florida
the latter part of the week."

Colonel Dunn and some Boston as- sociates have large tract of placer ground near Quartzi,e, in Arizona, which they have been prospecting for the past two years with very favora ble results The placer dirt will be han dled with large steam shovels and transported to the concentrators by means of ore cars on tracks. The pro- cess of separating the gold from the dirt and gravel will be by the Steb- bins Dry Concentrators which have proved a wonderful success in the working of placer ground in localities where water is scarce. These placers around Quartzsite have been worked by prospectors for the past fifty years but never have been worked on systematic scale. The ground is well known to be rich in gold values but the absence of sufficient water to wash the gold from the dirt has heretofore practically made the matter of work ing the property unprofitable. With the new process that is to be installed Col Dunn feels confident of success These same gentlemen own the Mes quite. placers in the Paymaster range. north of Glamis and expect to do con- siderable work there the coming year.

The mine is located in the Dragoon mountains. Harmon states that the company has spent about 50,000S in development work during the past year, and now has enough ore in sight to operate for sore time with DO further drain upon the company's treasury. The con- pany expects to ship to Douglas at the rate of three or four cars week. Harmon says that the ore, besides carrying good values in copper. also has gold values which are expected to be sufficient to bear the expense of treating the ore.

How They Work
 Mine Owners in Mexico

A Mexico City dispatch of March 2d. says: It will be sad day for many Mexicans when the revolution ends. Here's story by an American, from Boston, who has large mining interests In Michoacan, and who knows his part of Mexico like a book. He does not want hls name used, for fear the Mexi- cans may take his mine away from him ::
 ''In my part of the country" he said to correspondent. just before sailing for America, neither the rebels nor the federals want decisive victory. They work it this way: The mine owners and farmers get together and pay the federal chief of the district so much day for protecting their prop erty from the rebels. The chief pockets the money and orders the soldiers and rurals to pay especial attention to these particular mines and farms. I know one officer who is making $65 gold 2 day ln this way, and, in times of peace he wouldn't be making $65 a month. Now you couldn't get this federal of ficer to drive the rebels away for it's money in his pocket to have them stay.
 "The rebels, on the other hand, for some mysterious reason. won't come to conclusions with the federals and drive them away. either. There is suspic- ion that the federal leader is splitting up with the rebel leader If the rebel leader were to enter d decisive en- gagement against the federals and drive them out the miners and farmers would also leave and su the rebels would kill tho goose that lays the golden egg. And so, by not whipping each other both sides make money, while victory, in fight, would only result in hollow and penniless honor.
 "In one place in Michoacan, the rebels recently gave big dance in town and invited all the federals to at- tend, which they did. A tine time was had by all. Thanks to champagne which was purchased with money that had been taken, for protection, from farmers and miners. They can talk about peace conferences in Mexico all they please, and about the end of the revolution, but things won't be right here again until this present genera ton dies out, for this generation has learned tricks with guns that it will never forget. The only way to end this revolution in Mexico is to bury it six feet under the sod"

from one to two ounces up Io ~, ana yet it is contended that the greater proportion of the larger nuggets were never shown for fear of some evil spirits who infested the mines at the time. It is the opinion of those most conversant with the first workings of these placers that much taken out was in nuggets weighing from IS up to the size of the 'chispas' above named. I have often heard it saia of those days that mot even Papago Indian would work for less than los per day."
 As has been seen from the above, the gold was large and clear of foreign substances. The largest piece above mentioned did not contain an apparent atom of quartz or any other base mat ter. The gold from different camps varied trihe in It's worth at the mint in San Francisco, and brought from 17.5OS to l9.50S per ounce. But all that was sold and taken there went for from 16S to IFS per ounce. Since that
 
 year 1864 until the present there have been various times many men at work in these placers, numbering hundreds in winter months, but in the summer months not exceeding D to 100: and all seem to do sufficiently well not to be willing to work for the wages of che country, which are and have been for some time 3O$ to 65$ per month and found. No inconsiderable amount of gold comes in from these placers now weekly. and only few days ago I saw, myself, a nugget which weighed 4O$, clear and pure from any foreign substance.
 Some parties have lately come into these diggings with what is called con- centrators or dry washers, that they have been working for few weeks. and in conversation with Mr. Finkle (an owner of one of the machines) he told me that he could make POS per day where he was at work, and pay 3$ per day for his hands, and that he only required four to work the ma chimes. Should these machines prove success, these placers will soon be peopled again with industrious, pros. porous miners. Of the total amount of gold taken from these mines, I am as much at loss to say what it has been as was to name the average daily wages of the first years, and as 1 might greatly differ from those who were among the first in these mines. do not feel justified in setting up an opinion as against them; shall, there, fore, give the substance of the several opinions that I have obtained from those who were the pioneers of these placers. have failed to find any one of them whose opinion is that less than l,OO0,OOOS were taken from these dig gings within the first year, and in all probability as much was taken out within the following years.
