A VISIT TO A FORTUNE TELLER.

Both he and Mr. Frederick exerted
themselves and we had a really live

conversation turned on fortune tell

skepticism each of us confessed to
having at some time gone to hear
what the seers could tell us. Mr. Fred

NEIL TELLS BARBARA THAT HE
WANTS HER TO GIVE A
SMART AFFAIR.
CHAPTER CT.

Neil made no reply to my plea for
forgiveness and love. l said no more
as | was thoroughly convinced that
something very out of the ordinary
had happened to make him act as he
was doing 1t was no simple headache
which had brought him home in the
middle of the day, something he had
never done before. He had been un-
like himself for days. 1t has been ov-
viously an effort for him to appear
natural before his aunt or to join in
the conversation. He had been self
centered, absent-minded. Had Freder-
ick's refusal to go in with him in this
last deal with him caused others to
fall out, and was he worried about
that? He had said nothing about econ
omizing so it could not be money
l had been quietly cutting down our
expenses wherever l could. / had fin
ished complete inventory of every
thing in the house. / hoped to be able
to remain in my beautiful home if

Neil would be willing to change our
manner of living if it were necessary
Aunt had spoken of ending her visit
soon. | hoped she would. She was
very observant. Very little escaped
her and she never hesitated to ques
ton both Neil and me. / was very
fond of her as was Neil; but | could
see he resented her questions, that she
was beginning to make him nervous.
l wanted her to go yet | knew l
would miss her. Ever since | had in
vited Mr.. and Mrs. Powers and they
had sent regrets l had been too de-
pressed over any social successes that
l had felt l might as well give up en-
pertaining entirely. Aunt and | often
had been alone at dinner and for the
evening. If Neil persisted in remaining
out | should be entirely alone after
she left. The prospect was not at all
alluring.
We'll give one more dinner before
aunt goes" Neil had said to me and
while l had not objected | had made
no plans for going on with it. 1t now
occurred to me and | said:
Shall we give the dinner you spoke
of before your aunt leaves?"
Yes, and invite everyone you know
who is anybody Give bang up af-
fair" I was surprised at his animation
He had seemed so depressed.

upon learning the name of the hotel

after dinner she telephoned and asked
his office hours.

Foreign Interests Buy
 U. s. Copper Largely

Copper appears to be in heavy de mand these days on account of foreign requirements. The past week has seen the largest purchases of the red metal for any part of the year and the indications are that this purchas- ing condition will continue until after the first of the year. Foreign stocks are in sad state of depletion and every European country will have to come across the pond to get enough of the metal to carry them over the hurry calls they have for the finished products. Copper market has been stagnant since the early part of the year, although the price was within reach of the buyers. At the present price the copper men will hardly be able to make profit and pay the i'm mensely high wage that obtains in all the camps of the west, but it will relieve the companies of the large stocks that have been built up during the past two years, when production. was rushed to the limit. If the big surplus could be disposed of the new year would bring a better market con- dition and a readjustment of condi- tions all over the copper mining coun- try. Arizona would be largely bene- fitted by a cleaning up, the mines and smelters now being in shape for a record production.

at a profit. The gold fields would enjoy a boom such as no other boom ever brought to the mining west and the whole country would partake of the prosperity of the mining country. Money would be spent freely, the min CTS going into the marts of the world to obtain vast quantities of supplies for their new work, and in this way would energize manufactures produc- tion. Of enormous benefit would a new price on gold be to this country, where there are hundreds of small veins of gold bearing ore that could be mined and milled at profit. Just now there are but two real mines in the county, the Tom Reed and United Eastern. These two properties have sent to the mint for the eleven months of the year fully $3,000,000 from about 100000 tons of ore mined. Everyone who knows of mining conditions in the gold camps will readily acknowledge the justness of the producers demands. They are meeting the same wage de- mands that protected mines have met. are paying more for everything that goes into mining and have received in return therefor only the same pre- war price for their product. Mining furnishes 70 per cent of the haulage of the railroads. Without it the farm CT would have to meet an enormous increase in freight and passenger rates, and so would every industry in the United States, and yet it is these other interests that work the hardship on the mines that are really giving them look in at prosperity.

DEVELOPMENT TO START ON FRED MILLER PROPERTY

Fred Miller, who has been mining and prospecting in the Cedar district the past several years, has optioned his mines in Thompson Pass to George Kingdom and associates, of Jerome, Arizona, who are now preparing to begin extensive Improvements on the property. MT. Miller will have charge of the work and is getting matters shaped up for the sinking of shaft to depth of several hundred feet.
 The mines are situated to the west of the San Francisco property, and in an accessible part of the Cedar dis trict. The ore opened in the vein shows good values in silver, lead and gold. The vein is quite large and out crops importantly along the surface for long distance. This ore body has been opened in a number of plac- es and shows good values throughout.

CROSSCUT BEING RUN
 ON GOLDEN STAR

While awaiting the arrival of the big compressor and hoist for installa- tion on the Golden Star mine the com pany has been driving a crosscut to the vein from a surface position. This crosscut was run to get some idea of the old works which had filled with debris from the storms of years. An opening was found and crosscut re- suited in cutting a vein of ore that gave better than $6O across AZ feet of material. This ore is being driven on with flattering results. It was ex- pected that such ore would be found but it was so much better than report ed that the management feels very much elated over it. The fact that the Golden Star, or as it was known in early days, the Lone Star, was one of the big producers of high grade ore is giving the fact that it also has good bodies of mill ore an added weight. The Golden Star vein appears to have come to the surface in two sections, the south part having been located years ago on the apex as the Blue Boy. The veins dip sharply toward each other and it is probable that in less than 400 feet the two veins will be together. The Blue Boy had vein of $6O ore, that being an average of

WILLIS TO BE EDITOR OF
 ARIZONA MINING JOURNAL

Charles F. Willis, we'll known to the people of Arizona through his asso- citation with the Bureau of Mines of the state, has accepted the position of editor of the Arizona Mining Journal and will probably go into the field to gather the news first hand. MT. Will lis the past several years has been with the Phelps-Dodge corporation as industrial representative and in that position came in contact with practi- cally all the newspapers of the state. His relationship with the newspaper men has always been pleasant and they will one and all welcome him in to the journalistic field and while his bed may not be all roses we feel sure that he will meet with a big success.

nearby for shipment-with all the mines drained to tunnel level Its ad- vantages over shaft or surface opera. tions require no enumeration, and Is perfect adaptability to the particular section in hand warrants it's adoption as the most feasible and practicable method of developing and mining great veins traversing these noun tains.
 Such is the enterprise, partially and briefly outlined, under consideration. An enterprise demanding not alone talking, speculating, dreaming and prophesying, but all of them united with practical application and vigor- ous execution. The promoter, Captain Tom l.. Gibson, and his associates, present this combination. For eight months they have been so employed. A three mile section of the Cerbats was selected, which will bear material and feasible extension. Able and experienced engineers, with competent assistants, were put in charge of the work, under the supervision and direc- tion of the Gibson Engineering Firm. The entire line, 5000 feet in width, has been carefully surveyed and map ped, embracing adjoining claims on either side; all veins, dykes, ledges and out-crops noted and located; the underground sampled and diagrammed so far as development to date permits, and this is extensive; the ore deposits computed and their values estimated; and all embraced in a forty page re- port, illustrated by appropriate maps, drawings, charts, diagrams and photo- graphs. It is not prospectus, but report, written with scrupulous care, clear and convincing throughout, while revealing stupendous enter prise that is as practicable as it is great.
 The project comprehends, also, a 1000 ton mill, with all other facilities essential to a great Transportation, Development and Drainage Tunnel. And when under way, the Cerbats, al- ready assuming very marked increas- ing activity, will' speedily rank with the most important mining regions of the state.

At the recent meeting of the Amer ican Mining Congress, held in the City of St. Louis, the condition of gold was the one topic that stirred the conven- tion. That gold had been badly treat ed by the government was the theme of all, and many members had reme- dies, good bad and indifferent to offer for the safeguarding of future produc- tion and as an aid to the producers. 1 Every metal, it might be said, has been protected in some manner by the government with the exception or gold. The only redeeming feature in the recognition of gold necessities was the freeing of the gold producers from the excess profits tax, but this meas ure only reached few of the produc. CTS, the excess profits being small in all cases. Silver was protected under the Pittman act, although it might be said that this has restrained silver shipments abroad and restricted it's use which kept the price we'll within the limits of the price set by the govern ment-$1.01R. On account of its free coinage gold is held down to the actual mintage value-$20.671 per ounce-while silver being a commodity is just now feeling its wings and is soaring to new heights. Gold is real ly worth $35 per ounce and if the gov ernment would only establish a price on it or take off the strings gold miners would secure the full market value of the product. And in the event of new price being set on gold hundreds of small mines and especial ly low grade veins would be operated

MAKING A SUCCESS IN NEVADA.

T. s. O'Brien, who formerly resided in Kingman with his family and oper, ated mining property at Cerbat, is now in charge of the Ashdown mine, near Winnemucca, Nevada, and ap- pears to be making a success of the venture. MT. O'Brien is an excellent mine operator and knows how to get the best possible out of the eXpendi- ture of money. The property on which he is oeprating is in the north end of the Pine Forest range, near Denio It is opened by a series of tunnels and shows large ore reserve. A 60 ton mill is in course of construction to handle the output of the mine and this will be later largely added to, the mine being capable of making a pro- duction far in excess of the capacity of the first mill unit.
