 The tiny, awe-inspiring figure of the famous Hampdenshire Wonder" travers- ing his great library like some curiously persistent moth, devouring one by one all the dried leaves of knowledge-e ually solving the very riddle of the uni verse-surely this Is the most original conception any novelist has given us in years. Quite out of the usual-one of those rare tales that fingers in the mem ory as vividly as fact itself!

IDLE DAYS IN PATAGONIA :"

By w H. Hudson. E. P. Dutton x Co,
 publishers, 6S1 Fifth avenue, New YN~'
 One of the most charming things that w H. Hudson has ever written is his "Idle Days in Patagonia" neither "The Purple Land" nor Green Mansions, as beautiful as they are, surpass it, for 1t is exquisitely written and charming ly conceived, and those who love the stories of the open in exotic lands near to natures heart" will find nothing more readable than Idle Days in Pata- gonia.
 The scenes are laid in those days when everything below he Rio Negro was practically an un. own desert, the au- thor set out for Patagonia to look for new species of birds. A bullet wound in the knee just after his arrival at his destination prevented him carrying out his original programme ,and gave him the idle days which he used to such good purpose in observing, talking, thinking and writing the inimitable sketches which make up this delightfully."- unconventional book. In none of his works are the individuality of Mr. Hud- son and the charm of his style more generously revealed

THE OPPRESSED ENGLISH" Rv Ian Hay DnuhlsdaX Page & Cn.

 By Ian Hay. Doubleday, Page & Co.,.
 publishers, Garden City, N. Y.
 Ian May, whose "The First Hundred Thousand" Getting Together" and Safety Match" have made such de- llightful impression upon the English speaking world now sends out another little book, small in size, but big in call Ebre, which he entities "The Oppressed English
 The story is a good natured, straight t@-the-point answer to the question most Americans are asking:
 ''Why can't the English settle the Irish question:"
 And every American will appreciate this Scotchman's particularly happy bit of satire on the sad plight of that unhap- py but not undeserving people, the EnsA ] lislh"
 One of the most charming epigrams in | "The Oppressed English" (and they are 1 legi0n) is this: Ireland resembles a temperamental wife married to an intensely respectable but unexciting husband" Ian Hay is very clever and writes most enter1ainingly and "The Oppressed Eng lish' is one of his best Chapter VI, for example, shows so ad- mirably the whimsical humor of this understanding author. And Ian Hays di- alogue with the gentlemen from Mis- souri is something not soon to be for gotten. Then, too. his own analysis of the Irish situation is of well-timed im- port.

Big Bug District of Yavapai Again Comes into Promin- ence Thu Consumation of Big Mining Deal.

| PRESCOTT, Feb. 24. - Announce ment has been made that the Loma
 Verde Copper company, organized
 about six weeks to take over, work and develop the Lone Pine group of
 nlnes and other properties in the big Bug district, has been financed. The present force of men will be added 70 at once and work pushed vigorous Y. The company is organized with capital of SI,25O,OOO, divided into l,2500O0 shares of the par value Of Il per share.
 The board of directors and officers consist or Nj. N Andrews, president; J. 4. Jaeger, vice-president; A. l.. smith, secretary and treasurer: Henry 1rnkmeyer and Ii. N. Heap, all Of Prescott, Arizona. OSullivan X Nor gan are attorneys for the company.
 The company IS aU present holding and working a group Of ten mining claims and a mil site located about IA miles north Of Huron, and two
 miles south of the Consolidated Ari- zona Smelling Company's plant at Humboldt, comprising an area of about 205 acres. Three Of the claims, l:nown as the Lone Pine group, are patented. This property under pre- Nious owners produced more than S75,000 from shallow workings. The ere values, consisting principally of sold and copper, run from $l0 to $50 in gold, and from 15 to % per cent in copper.
 A permit for the sale of stock with Tn Arizona was issued by the corpora ton Commission several days ago, after a careful investigation of the company, it's officers and property.

HOST" WARD MINE IS RELOCATED BY SON OF
 THE ORIGINAL FINDER
After Forty-Two Years Rich Mine Is Relocated-lnter- esting Story Is fold of the Property.

FLORENCE. Feb. 24.-After forty two years the iabulously rich Ward mine has been re-discOvered and re- located. The mine was lost ill 1875 and was found and relocated on Mon day of this week by Juan Ward, a son of Milton Ward, the original locator now deceased, Abe Encinas and LOT enzo Cruz.
 Milton Ward came to Arizona in 1857 with the Butterfeld company which was then operating the over land stage line from St. Louis to San Francisco. In 1861 this line ceased operations on account of the war and Milton Ward drifted into other lines. In the early seventies he discovered a rich copper and silver ore body and exhibited specimens that ran nearly sixty per cent copper and extremely rich in silver.
 At about this time there came Co Florence one John w. Anderson, who was well supplied with real coin. An derson financed a company composed of himself, William Futile, Milton Ward and others, and a smelter was erected on the river in Round Valley near the old White house, just west of the present head gate. After the shelter had been erected the pro motors of the enterprise made the dis covery that they could not smelt the ore because they did not have the proper fiuXing minerals and the en- terprise was abandoned. Milton had been discrete and had not revealed the hiding place of his fabulously rich mine and immediately the mine was lost, and has been lost ever since un- til discovered Monday of this week, although hundreds of prospectors have looked in vain for Wards old mine.
 Abe Encinas and Juan Ward were prospecting in the Red Hills and while talking with Lorenzo Cruz the latter casually remarked that he knew where there was an old aban- doned workings and led his compan- ions to the spot, and from the loca- tiCn and description they had of the old Ward property. they were certain that it was the same. Six locations were made at once. Samples of ore brought in by the prospectors are eN- tremely rich in copper and silver and caused quite a stampede here in Flor ence, and every day has seen now

HOMESTEAD GROUP IS
 SULD TO GROUND Of EASTERN BANKING MEN
United States Continental Mining Company, of New York City, Becomes Owner of Group in Walker District

! PRESCOTT, Feb. PA deal for the Homestead group of gold-copper- silver mines at Walker was formally closed by telegraph Thursday, the full cash payment being made and the escrow agreement released by local banking house. The option holders, the United States Continental Mining Company, of New York City, met the obligation prior to the date tor the op- tion to expire and paid over the iuil cash amount agreed upon when the property passed into their hands only short time ago.
 The Homestead was presented to the buyers by J. H. Shockley, their consulting engineer. Development given recently has determined a re markable property. Mrs. J. J. Milli- ken, of this city, is the beneficiary of this deal, and it was her deceased husband who owned the property for many years.
 In taking over the property last fail the Homestead was given general prospecting and at one particular point where a shaft was sunk about so feet in depth and drift run there from an immense ore body of high grade was cut into. It is probably due to this fact that from prospecting given at other places that the deal was closed without any further cere- mOny.
 MT Shockley also wired to Pres colt that large operations are now to begin in an energetic manner and on a practical basis of mining
 The Homestead was given its name for the reason that the log cabin oc- cupied by it's pioneer owner was built at a spot on the main claim where the rich strike was made, and within a few feet only from the front door at vertical depth of less than 40 feet.
 Thus, after half a century again does this historically known mine come into its own in making good. In the late eos it occasioned excitement for its rich free milling ores on the surface, and when the sulphide zone was struck it suspended, never 10 re- sume until the present operators tooA charge.

 The ind is about one mile west or the Price tS Powell well on the Red Hills property, and is iu a section neretOiore passeG up by pI1spectOrs. Inc tendency has been to search east of the Red Hills ill a country that gave more evidence Of mineral. The reason for not prospecting west was probably due to the fact that the country is covered with d dense growth of brush.
 The country for miles around the Red Hills shows indications of rIcn ore bodies and it will not be surprls- ing to the old timers should a big pro- ducing mine be developed in that sec ton.

GOLD ROAD OPENS NEW
 ORE RESERVES IN ITS
 PROPERTY AT OATMAN
Development in that Mine for Last Few Months Resulted in Great Increase in Ton mage for Claims.

OATMAN, Feb. 24-"If any of the newer properties had discovered and opened up as much ore as the Gold Roads has during the past two months it would be the sensation of the min- ing world" said mining engineer yes terday. The Gold Roads is Coming back as sure as the sun rises over Gold Road hill every morning. With milling ore opened up and blocked out at three different places 500 feet apart along the new vein, it is only a ques- ton of time when the mill will be re- opened. If this ore body was located on any other property there would be rush from all over the adjacent coun- try to see and hear about the wonder full strike"
 A visit to the Gold Road property is all that is necessary to confirm the above statement There is an air of hopefulness, optimism and enthusiasm prevailing the entire landscape. While no official statement can be given out at this time, yet it is the absolute belief of everyone working for the company that another great ore body is being opened up which may per haps rival the original bonanza vein, which wielded $6.OOO,OO0 in gold and upward.
 Drifting is now in progress at two points along the new vein 800 feet apart and both faces are in ore aver aging better than S10 per ton. A new compressor and a new blower have been installed at No. 3 shaft in order that better speed may be attained
 It will take at least 90 days more work to prove what they have there, but if present indications and results continue there will be a story wen worth telling ro relate regarding the old Gold Road.
 Joe Onetto, one of the best informed practical mining men and students oI the mining conditions to be found any where, is in charge of the work. Give us a little time and we may have son thing big 10 ak about here n the heart of the vein system of the entire district" said MT. Onetto, with a smile that conveyed the fact that he was enthusiastic over the situation in general.

INSPIRATION PILES
 UP IMMENSE TONNAGE
 0F TAILINGS ON DUMP
In the Treatment of 17,OOO Tons of Ore Daily, Tailings Pile Up in Tremendous Amount.

The visitor to the Inspiration mill at Miami is immediately impressed with the vast size of the accumulated pile of tailings behind the series ot dams located in Webster's gulch to the north of the concentration The size of this pile gives one a tangible idea of what it means to be treating 16,000 or 17,00O tons of ore daily, especially so when it is remembered that the plant is only now in its twen- tieth month of operation, and in its twelfth month of full capacity opera ton.
 A good conception as @ where this huge amount of ore comes from can be gained from a walk around the surface in the neighbOrhood of the Inspiration mine. The surface that originally Overlaid portions of the ore body has been changed beyond all recognition, or rather it might better be said that in spots this surface has disappeared entirely. For instance on the hillside where the Joe Bush shaft and surface works were not so long ago located, young grand can } on" greets the eye and very graphi- cally checks the impression obtained by first viewing the tailing pile below the mill.
 The metal work shops located on the grade at the head of the concen- ,rator present an exceedingly busy ap- Dearance these days, due principally. it is said, to the fact that it is at pres ant next to impossible to obtain de- iiveries on orders ior the performance

A Hint to the Aued.

If people past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days. they would recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any Of the more serious diseases.
