MANS MIND WORKS QUICKLY
Psychologists Have Given Us Interest
Ing Instances Of the Rapidly
Of Thought.

"Quick as thought" is an express
sion often used. But how quick is
thought? Modern psychology has
furnished some valuable statistics on
this point, declares writer in the
London News, citing several examples
Of how quickly the mind works in con-
veying certain thoughts. He says:
1T takes about two-fifths of sec
ond to call to mind the country in
which well-known town is situated,
viz: Paris in France; or the language
in which q familiar author wrote, as
Dante in italian.
ITO add numbers containing one
figure it takes, on an average, about
one-third of second; while half q
second is occupied in multiplying
them.
"Next note the time demanded to
perceive and to choose motion. Sup
pose, for instance, person, not know
ing which Of two colored lights is to
be presented to him, has to lift his
right hand for red and his left for
blue; it takes only about one-thirteenth
of a second to begin the correct motion.
ITO call up the name belonging to
printed word needs about one-ninth
Of a second; to letter, one-sixth,
while to picture Or color it takes
one-quarter and one-thlrl Of a second
respectively"

The forsaken old tomb.
He was tired that night when he
came back to the gloomy house.
Through the thick shrubbery that sur.

He was not allowed to have key, 80

bowels Of the earth came Mrs. Beggs
tramping like grenadier.
She smiled wanly at him. II hope

"Only what?"
Nothing, Mrs. Beggs, thank you,''

When he was inside Of the room,
with the door closed, he suddenly put
down his burden and leaned against
the panels; he was not alone.
Somewhere in that dim chamber

He heard little rustling sound from
the corner and knew that the intruder
was hiding In the shadow Of the great
four-poster bed. He had heard a light
step and he knew that a woman was
there.
He took out his pocket flashlight
and suddenly swung it around the
room. The dim depths Of the ancient
mirror held a picture that startled
him.

Life Not Easy for All.

Life is easy only to those-whether
they be rich or poor-who fail to COM
prehend it's meaning, who refuse or
are unable to see that duties are i'm
mensely more important than rights,
who are wholly without sense of re-
sponsibnity, and who think of tempta-
ton as an Indifferent thing to which
men may yield or not just as they
choose-the yielding rather being
taken us a proof Of Observation-Disclosures
Life is easy to those who take the
easy way and to no others-not even
always to them, since slackness Is al.
ways likely to bring its penalty. The
mere business Of living is, therefore
itself very good substitute for war

Oatrnan Mining Notes

The Tom Reed began milling ore from the Gold Ore last week.
 The drifts from the 500 level of the mine have reached out in the vein 50 feet east and west from the shaft. This vein carries an average value of $15 a ton as the ore is broken down.
 There are over TOO tons of ore on the dumps and the drifts are break ing enought right along to maintain mill tonnage of 50 tons daily. The mine is capable of greater tonnage that the Reed Mill will take.
 Development of the Ootman Gold during the past few weeks has been important according to w. E. Brooks, consulting engineer who was on the property a few days ago and found everything running satisfactorily A contract has been let to Frank John son for crosscutting and drifting and the work is now under way from the 800 level. Johnson and Burris who had the sinking contract on the Oat- man Gold shaft made record for the work carrying the big hole down at the rate of 2. 2 feet per shift.

Verde Central, by Taking Ouer
 Two Other Jerome Properties,
 Now Holds 500 Additional Acres

PRESCOTT, July 22.-This morning deal was closed whereby the Verde Central Mines, Inc, acquired the property formerly owned by the Vtnture Hill Mining Company and the Verde Apex Mining Company. The transaction gave to the purchas- ing concern an acreage of more than 500 acres adjoining the scene of it's operations, and is considered the most important mining deal recorded in this county in several years.
 The Verde Central properties which adjoin those of the United Verde, are being developed in a con servative way, and many are of the opinion that it eventually will be- come one of the big copper produc- CTS of the state, and worthy to be classed among it's two big neighbors in the Jerome district. w. s. Staun- ton is president of the company, and Charles T. Joslin is secretary. The tTw1saction is on record at the office O. County Recorder E. A. McSwiggin.
 Among the claims purchased un- der the classification of the two companies relinquishing title to the Verde Central were those of c. M. Raible and his wife, who received $71 800 for the Black Horse, Jesse James, Crown Point, Missing Link, Omega, Alpha and Eleanor claims,

Rich Silver-COpper
 Strike at Harshaw

PATAGONIA, Ariz.. July 22.-Mark Dixon of Bisbee, miner in the em- ploy of the Copper Queen while doing assessment work on some claims at Harshaw under option to Judge Fred Sutter of Bisbee, struck a body of sil- ver-copper ore, said to run around $500 to the ton.
 The Harshaw district has produced much high-grade ore in past years and new ore bodies are being developed there, which promises to make great camp if capital can be secured to de- velop the mines as they should be.
 The Black Eagle, Hardhsell, Bender claims, Worlds Fair, Henry Ford, Blue Nose, and many other mines are located in the neighborhood of where the new strike was, made.-Howard Reener's "Patagonian"
