WISHES ID BRING
 SHOW ID KINGMAN
From Tuesdays Daily NIinerI

Texas" A. B. Ritchie, a strong man of wide reputation, is in Kingman in advance of his musical revue. He has 100 girls in his company, for which he is trying to arrange through the business men of Kingman for a big two day engagement, Friday and Sat urday, September 1 and 2. Judging from reports he has a great attraction.
 The aggregation is known as the California Exposition on Wheels, and presents a musical revue entitled "The Cup of Gold", in three acts and 12 scenes. He carries a tent theater that seats 5000 people, with a stage 60x30 feet, two carloads of special scenery, another carload of gorgeous costumes. The company gives a daily free street parade consisting of a 20-piece girls band and 32 decorated floats and eight automobiles. One of the features of the street parade is that of "Texas" who, with a rope around the back of his neck, fastened to a string of eight large wagons laden with his 100 Poppy girls, and pulls them over the main streets, all at one time.
 Ritchie will put on several exhibi- tions of his wonderful strength at the Elks theater tonight and Wednesday night, and will leave here Thursday for Prescott, where he will arrange an engagement for his big show there on a later date. The show will play in only three towns in Arizona while touring the Southwest. Kingman has a chance to be one of the lucky ones. Ritchie will confer with the merchants of the town today and tomorrow to ascertain whether they want "Texas" and his large bevy of girls to come here or not.

and badger fight was ordered to pro ceed, and Barker gave the tether a sufficient pull. Out came something. He saw it was no badger, but honestly thought he had pulled off the badgers head. The crowd could see otherwise, but thought it was a shaving mug and that it was all done to advertise Par ker'S barbershOp. Barker gave it a kick. All happened so quickly and so many things at once, the duelists meanwhile making the air simply seeth and boil and f1ourished their guns a thousand times worse than Jesse James. Instantly, just before the lights went out and Ray and Sim n,Onds quit threatening and cOm- uenced to shoot and both fell as if dead. They must have exchanged sev- eral shots.
 Everybody in the audience-well, nearly everybody-thought both were shot to pieces, the stage and lower stories running in blood and the stam- pede that Mir. Hill feared when he warned the ladies away, became more than a reality. Inside of a few sec onds the house was emptied and giant men were hustled, thrown and jOstled about in the flight for escape, some even being trampled under foot
 This being about the end of the story it must not be omitted to state that the cartridges used were blank MT. Hill, who so cleverly promoted the evenings entertainment, feared there might be some real violnce, so the duel was only a measure of defense, srv- ing to start the crowd toward the street when it might have been a massed formation rush the other way.
 Most of the bets were rehearsed, vet some of them were on the square. but these were called off when the facts were learned. Of 200 men pres ent not to exceed 20 were in on the joke, and Barker and Shedd, who at various stages had charge of the ami mals. were not among the 20.

PAY INSPECTION
 VISIT ID MINES

Joe Winchester, John Tait Milliken, J. B. Speed and Anson H. Smith drove out to the Golconda mine yesterday morning, and were shown through the property by Manager J. D. Wanvig. It was the first visit of Messrs. Win chester and Milliken, and they were most favorably impressed by the rich Prosperity vein, which is now prOduc- ing from the 11OO-foot level, and the immense Tub ledge which is yielding from the 5OO-foot level.
 Leaving the GolcOnda they looked over the property of the Middle Col conda. As the lodges of the Golconda traverse the Middle GOlconda, the vis- itors recognized the great possibilities of the latter. A recent carload ship ment from the Middle Golconda netted better than S11OO.

KEYSTONE MINE
STILL IN OPERATION
From Tuesdays Daily MinerI

From Tuesdays Daily Minerl
 A report was current several days ago that the Keystone mine, at Min eral Park, had been closed down. This is not true, but one shift has been cut out, it being the intention of the com pany to keep development going along the levels on the 280-foot level of the mine until the milLis put in commis- sion, and as the ores are cut out on the levels the shaft will be continued downward to the 6OO-foot level and further development carried on to keep sufficient ore tonnage ahead. The company has a large amount of ore on the dumps and this ore will be milled.
 The Keystone company is well financed and is in the hands of excel lent mine mhnagers.

is turned in here. At the lower end of the incline reaches a vertical stack, dropping into it. About half way down other crude oil blasts are turned in. As the excess, if any, of petrol cum only assists in raising the tenn perature to the required point such excess is helpful and immaterial as to any thought of harmful results. All this is encased as a vacuum and acts as a thermos bottle. The stack is 30 feet high and the contact of the pc troleum is 45 minutes. Below the stack it is cooled in the same gas, so that it will not re-oXide.
 Then it is elevated to another bin and crushed to one-eighth- inch mesh and jigged. Here the coarse copper is slimed and recovered and the micro scopic copper js caught by Notation.
 The whole process is one of de- oxidizing, whereas, the old process is a re-oxidizing one. By keeping out the air in the vacuum the re-oxidiz- ing is prevented. What formerly re- quired two devices is to be done by one. Ordinary dry concentrates may be reduced by making the mineral into a bullion instead of a matte.
 MT. Agnew has tried out his process thoroughly. He has had various fur naces of ample size and worked the process in all it's phases. He has worked particularly on car lots of ore and from them alone he speaks when he says he can effect a 90 to 95 per cent saving. He is an Old-time smell ter man and no novice nor amateur. He has had charge of one or more of the important smelters of Mexico. Likewise he has made a special study of the country from a metallurgical standpoint and knows for a fact that there are hundreds of districts where the mining industry is tied up for want of convenient fuxes. Thus the importance of his invention may be such that it will have a great bearing on the gold output of the future.
