Twin Peaks Now Erecting Mil.

The Twin Peaks Mining x Milling company is now engaged in erecting cyanide plant on their properties locat- ed A few miles from Duncan, Arlzona The frame work of the main body or the new plant is now in place, ana the plans of the management call TOT a steady continuance of the work until completion, immediately upon wh'cn tho large quantit,es of ore already ex' tracted will be reduced The stock holders and management of the Twin Peaks properties are very optimistic concerning the results of cyanidatlon' as the ores to be treated, are Of nature that is peculiarly susceptible tc this method of treatment. It is ex pected that the new mill will be lr operation within two months.-Cliftor Copper Era.

Power drills arc to be installed lm- m ediatelv at the property of the Chase Creek Company. in Chase Creek Can von. A few miles above Clifton. Since the beginning of operations on that group several years ago, much work has been done, though all the ore and rock removed has been broken down bv hand. It is with the idea of hasten inc development that the stockholders have decided on a number of power drills. Most of the development at the Chase Creek property has been In the nature of tunneling. A tunnel IS being driven in to intersect some veins which show on the surface far above Those veins have every sign of per manency, and it is believed that they extend to untold depths below the point where they will be cut by tho tunnel. Recently the tunnel cut for nation twenty feet wide. which II places was almost pure copper. It claimed that the material averaged z per cent copper, 30 per cent iron ant 25 per cent sulphur. This ore was no followed, the management deciding t carry out the original plan. Later tn

The Mammoth Looking Good

The old Mammoth property was bonded last June by Young brothers, owners of the Great Western Copper company of Courtland, for the sum of 100, ,OO0$. They are now working about thirty men, doing development work, and from present indications, expect to purchase the property The ore occurs along rhyolite and quartz ite contact, the width of the mineral ized zone running from seventeen to fifty feet. The main value occurs as gold with a small amount of copper sllicate and lead molybdate. The old company, an English concern, operated the property up to about fourteen years ago, since which time the property has been in litigation The old concern sank an 800 foot shaft and erected a mill on the San Pedro river about three miles distant iron the mine. A 50 stamp mill was erect ed and was in operation for something like fifteen years. About l25 tons 0 ore was treated per day with value running from 4s to 3OS per ton. Dur ing the long stretch of idleness of tn property the mill was totally destroye by fire. The old tailings have bee worked over twice by leasers, first b cyaniding and last by special proces to recover the lead molybdate. Tn present owners claim to have blocke out an i'm mense tonnage of ore avera! ing about l0S per ton, and the prol erty looks as though it was destine to be a large producer within tho ne' two or three years.-Arizona Silvt

Excitement at Ray.

A Ray dispatch says:-Scenes rlVal- ing those of the days of the Klondyke were enacted here yesterday when It was announced that Walter Regan, owner of numerous prospects in the hills hereabouts had struck gold-gold in big paying quantities, gold in veins of inconceivably thick quartz, goio within five miles of the heart Of the town. Within a fsw minutes of the breaking of the news that L. s. Gates manager for the Ray Consolidated hao looked at Rsgan's claim and had bought large interest in it, the town was depopulated. Livery barns were rlAed of teams. Everything that could travel on or off of roads was grabbed in the mad rush Of the goio seekers. With the prospect of thou sands and thousands of dollars at the end of short ride or drive, men or Ray commandeered saddle and driving stock. and then walked.
 Mineral Creek canyon is the location of the Began claims. For many years prospectors have searched this country faithfully for gold, but that metal has almost never appeared in quantities that would make it pay to develop mines. The news of the strike was a complete surprise, therefore, and aa ded to this the fact that the indications are of surface character, and indl cate A lode of the unbelievable widtl of twenty-five feet, rich in the precious metal, made Ray stare in amazsment
 Rigs, autos, saddle horses and mo torcycles are bringing in the golt seekers. Superior informed Of th' strike came here jn body. There l great excitement in the camp. Tele grams and telephone messages ar flashing out to the world, the news one of the biggest single gold strike in the history of this part of the worlc The fact that Began was so qulckl brought to terms by Gates seems to b enough foundation for the wildes rumors. The wealth of the Indies an the Klondike too fade in comparison.
 L.. s. Gates, who, with John Devln' will work the F gold quartz claims Ray that have accustomed excitemer there, was in Tucson Monday. Il said that some specimens would ru l.OOOS per ton. The claims are sl miles north of the town.
 It is native gold and was discovere week ago by man named Began.

He was congratulating himself upon
the orderliness of the affair when a
keen-eyed young man in the garb of a
chauffeur touched his shoulder.

"A mere stroke of the pen"
Where are we going?"

the mere love of it."

He understood that no one is infallible.
He found the laundering policeman,
who now realized that he stood in for
Whit of the commissioner carpet.
All he could do was to give a good de-
scription of the man and woman. Word
was sent broadcast through the city.
The police had to be informed this
time.
Late in the day an officer whose beat

said he had seen the three Everything

Jones bent his head in his hands,
and Norton tramped the floor till the
sound of his footsteps threatened to
drive the moaning Susan into hys-
terics.
1T is only matter of few days"
But can the child stand the ter

that they may not really drive her in

On board the George Washington
every one felt extremely sorry for this
beautiful girl. 1t was frightful mis-

"She is certainly insane" said one
of the passengers, who had known
Hargreave slightly through some bank
ing business. "Hargreave wasn't mar
ried. He lived alone"
After the second day out Florence
was permitted to wander about the
ship as she pleased.
A good many of the passengers were
nightly worried when they learned
that the wireless had in some mysteri-
GUS way been tempered with after the
boat had made the open sea. 1t was
impossible to put about. The appara-
tus must be fixed at sea.

ments. A confidence man and woman
in the real sense Of the word. In your
minds eye you could see this man
carrying the contribution plate down
the aisle on Sunday mornings, and his
wife Kate putting her mite on the
plate for the benefit of some poor, un.
tidy Hottentot.
On Tuesday of the following week
Florence and Susan went shopping.
The chauffeur was a strong young fel.
low whom Jones relied upon. If you
pay man well and hold out fine
promises, you generally can trust him.
AS their car left the corner another
followed leisurely. This second auto
mobile contained Thomas Wendt and
his wife Kate. The two young women
stopped at the great dry goods shop
near the public library, and for the
time being naturally forgot everything
but the marvels which had come from
all parts of the world. 1t is as natural
for woman to buy as it is for a man
to sell.
In some manner or other Florence
became separated from Susan. She
hunted through aisle after aisle, but
could not find her; for the simple rea-
son that Susan was hunting for her. It
occurred to the girl that Susan might
have wisely concluded the best place
to wait would be in the taxicab. And
SO Florence hurried out into the street,
into the arms Of the Wendt family,
who were patiently awaiting her
The trusted chauffeur had been sent
around to the side entrance by the
major domo. The young lady had so
requested, so he said.
Florence struggled and called for
the policeman, who came running up,
followed by the usual idle, curious
crowd.

said the motherly Kate, tears in her
eyes. The benign Thomas looked at
heaven. We are her keepers"
