HYSTERICUS ELECTRIC

A New Jersey Kite Flyer ThinksHe Has Caught Flashes from

Other Planets.

William A. Eddv. of Bayonne, X.J., says that since 1892 he has drawnfrom his kite fwTre hundreds of elec -

trie signals, both regular and irregu-lar, which may have come from someplanet, and the signals have beenusually in groups of three, regularlytimed like a Morse sounder. Whenthe ends of the d steelwires are separated by silk strands,the sparks jump at twelve-secon- d in-

tervals. Then there are mysteriousdisappearances of all electric actionfor several minutes. These electricsparks come from a high point in theair, not near to the low tension elec-tric currents of trolley and live wires.

Mr. Eddy is about to begin a careful series of measurements of thesespark lengths. He does not believethat the Morse sounders affect hiswire because the dynamo electricitysticks to its wire ana does not radiateto unknown distances, so for asknow, as do the high tension sparksdrawn by him from the clouds.

Mr. Eddv says that these sparksmay come from an outer planet, be-

cause electricity travels at the rate of190,000 miles a second and is as tire-less as light, which travels 188.300miles a second, as measured by arapidly revolving toothed wheel.Great variability in effect is producedwhen there is apparently no changewhatever in the condition of the up-per air, so far as known.

Mr. Eddy has been trying to de-cipher the signals since 1892. It isalso to be noted that Tesla's signalscome from Pike's Peak and at a highpoint in the air. Mr. Eddy pointsout that electricity is superior to lightbecause an interruption can be trans-mitted, while light suffuses around adark shadow, especially if the shadowis of smaller diameter.

Deep Mining in Arizona.

The Los Angeles Herald recentlynublished an interwiew with :in Arizona mining man concerning deepmining in Arizona a part of which ishere given:

'The United Verde mine at Jerome,with shafts and drifts on it 100 feetdeep, was offered for sale fourteenyears ago without any buyer. At lastW. A. Clark, of Montana, took theproperty and after sinking to a depthof 300 feet he had ninety six feet ofsolid ore, aud at 500 feet it is repor-ted the ore Ixxly is 150 feet wide.Clark has refused S100.000.000 for thismine. The Congress mine, at a deptho! UNI leet. was considered as a traudbynoless a person than Diamonddoe, and now, at a deptn ot fw leet,it is held at S3.000.000. The Fortunamine, at 150 feet, was bought byCharles Lane for S14O.000. now at adepth of 600 you could not buy it forS3.000.000. The King of Arizona wassold for but S30.000 when at a depthof 100, while todav at a depth of 500feet it is held at SI ,000,000. Thefamous Copper Queen mine ot Bisbee,at a depth of 200 feet was about to besold fur del it "nv nt HlYl fnt it iins '

sufficient ore in sight to run fiftyyears, and money cannot buy it. TheCrowned King mine $23,000" in debtwhen down 165 feet. Now it cannot1 purchased for less than Sl.000,000.ihe Jnerce mine was sold tor 2io,l)UUwhen a depth of 150 fet had beenreached. It is now producing $150,-00- 0

annually, and is not for sale. Youhear mining men speak of the UnitedVerde ledge. There is uo ledge thereaud there never was one. On thesurface there was a large number ofsmall strata, which led from the sur-face to the deposit iu the heart of themountain. These stringers weresent out merely to invite the prospec-tor's pick. You hear of the ledge ofthe Verde variously estimated at from250 to 500 feet in width. There is, asa matter of fact, no end to the threatdeposit or zone up to the present de-

velopment of the mine. The expres-sion "there is a mountain of it." whichyou often hear in the hills, can be ap-plied to the Verde with impunity. Itis without question the biggest minein the world."

A New Oro Find.

James McKav and P. J. Springerlocated a very promising tree goldmine on Uctober 1, lymi. which theyhave called the Eva. This claim issituated alwiit nine miles south ofPrescott aud alrout a mile and one- -

half south of the Empire group andabout two and one half miles north of '

the Senator. Vei j gixxl assays havebeen taken trom ore tound on thismine. On the surface it assays .?1312to Sf8.61 ; at twenty feet deep it as-

says $13.31 to HSQJn, and at a depthof forty-liv- e feet it will assay on anaverage ?2".

There ar-- four feet of solid ore andthe mine promises to te a very goodone. The locators are developingthis mine right along and have ateutforty tons of ore on the dump. Thereis water enough on an adjoiningd.lim? which g a!so rjwaed bv thesame parties, to run a fivc-stan- p mOLThere is lots of timber, sufficient forall miuiug purposes for an indefinitetenod.

The locators are well known mining men who are determined to makea good mine of the said property.The Eva teing situated only a few-mile-s

from Prescott is well situatedand no doubt will liecome a valuablemine. It is also situated in the heartof one of the test miuiug sections ofArizona, which goes to show that itmay one day become a tenanza.

Monday Club Open Session.

The Monday club held an open orsocial session on Thursday, JanuaryKith, which was a very enjoyable af- -

ftiir. The usual papers and other!literary features of the club were en-tirely dispensed with. A game called"The Bishop's Physical Puns" fur- -

nished interesting entertainment tothe memters, two prizes teing offered.The number of correct answers forthe first prize were to gnr.it that seve-ral ladies tied, and ou the cut theprize was won by Mrs. T. G. Xorris.Mrs. R. R. (xnVuian was awarded thesecond prize. Most elegant refresh-ments were also served, and the opensession was-- voted a complete successby the

The elheiency with which the com-mittees discharged their duties ofcourse added largely to its success.These were composed as follows:

Entertainment Mesdames F. A.Tritle. H. Goldwater, J. V. Shepard.M. E. Maria.

Refreshments Mesdames R. R.Coleman. (). A. Hesla, J. W. Akersand D. M. F. Weeks.

The session was held at the resi-dence of Mrs. ". V. Ross.

SERIOUS BLOW TO COCONINO.

Representatives of the Santa FeRailroad company and parties towhom they have sold land from theirrailroad land grant in this territoryhave been in Washington for sometime working on a proposition to bepermitted to deed their land in theSan Francisco forest reserve back tothe government and to receive in lieuthereof other lauds. These lands em-- ,

brace alternate sections and on thisaccount cannot be utilized to advan-tage for the purposes of grazing,which is about the only thing themost of the land is adapted to. Onthe other hand, teing divided up inthis way, destroys the compactness ofthe reserve. A recent telegram fromWashington states that an agreementhas been effected whereby the tradecan te consummated and these landswill be deeded back to the govern-ment.

The worst feature of the proposition is the effect which it will have onCoconino county, as the reversion ofthese lands to the government willwithdraw them from taxation, andthey form uo inconsiderable part ofthe taxable wealth of that county.The prohibition of grazing within theforest reserve also takes away anothervery important source of revenue tothe countv.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Several senators worked off theirleft over campaign speeches on "im-

perialism" in the debate on the armyreorganization bill.

We trust that socialism will nevergrow strong enough in this countryto have a dangerous candidate for thepresidency, notwithstanding the pre-

diction of Senator McGomas thatMr. Bryan will play that role.

Webster Davis' lightning changefrom an office holder to a heavymanipulator of real estate may be ac-

counted for in a perfectly legitimateway. Perhaps he is merely puttingsome of Ooni Paul Kmger's savingsinto safe investments.

As long as the list of those whohave failed because they insistedupon tieing the whole thing is, thereaie those who will uot accept it as awarning.

Terhaps some of President McKin- -

ley's great personal popularity arisesfrom the fact that he saws wood anddoes not hunt ducks.

In saying that he saw "imperialism"in the acts of the Philippine commis-sion. Senator Teller made it plain thathis eyes needed treatment. When aman sees what doesn't exist he is ina ted way.

Mr. Bryan does not require intend-ing subscriters to his paperwho send the price, to produceaffidavits that they are not plutocratsor in any way connected with the oc-- 1

topus.

Senator Quay is another exampleof the adage that he who laughs lastlaughs liest."

According to an announcement ofthe civil service commission, Mar'- -

land, Virginia and Vermont are theonly states which have received morethan their quota of appointments iuthe government service, at Washing-ton.' The District of Columbia, whichis only entitled to 2S places, has 318.

English capitalists will erect a bigfactory in Louisiana to make paperout of "tegassee," heretofore a wastedproduct of sugar caue.

The Jerome Reporter advises allcitizens of Jerome to "lend their moralsupport to the division of Yavapaicounty." They will find it about thepoorest investment they cau make, asthey will never be able to recover theprincipal or any interest thereon.

Art and Philosophy in a Calendar.

That helpful anil inspiring motto"Keeping everlastingly at it brink'ssuccess" is again sug-ste- by thereceipt of the 1901 calendar from X.W. Aver & Sou, Philadelphia. Thesegentlemen conduct the world's greatest advertising business m newspap- -

(ers. iiiaga.iiicsi unu imiooarus out asresponsibilities increase they seem togrow more energetic, while their workshows brighter and tetter. The 1901calendar is an evidence of taste andonginallt v. It is mounted on a strikmg design in clav modeling, executedin two delicate tones, with the famousAyer motto stantliug out in bold re-

lief. The figures are large enough tote easily distiuguished quite a dis-tance, while the spaces are occupiedby reproduction, in colors, of a num-ber of striking modern posters anil byadvertising philosophy as well. Thecost of production and the demandfor this calendar are so great thatMessrs. Ayer & Sons have found itnecessary to charge a nominal pricefor it 25 cents. Those wanting acop- - of this very serviceable and or-

namental work should send at oncebefore the edition is exhausted. Inprevious j'ears its predecessors haveteen quickly bought up, aud it ismore thau likely late applications nowwill prove disappointing.

THE NEEDLE SMELTER.

A Representative of

Soon Visit

His a to

The Journal-Mine- r has the information from a

reliable source that in a few days a of the mag-

nificent new 100-to- n smelter that has just Ijeen atXeedles, California, will visit this section in the interest of thatinstitution.

At first thought tWs may not seem to mean much, yet fromwhat can te learned of his intentions it may mean a great ilealto the mining, as well as all other interests of this section. Inthe first place it is understood that the smelter has teen espe-

cially equipped for handling rebellious ores, which is the natureof so much of the ore of this section, ami that thiswill make a special effort to secure this ore for the new smelter.In fact, it is learned that several of our large mining companieshave partially promised to give the new institution their sup-

port, and there is no doubt that as soon as our people liecome

with the new company in a business capacity, antlshould the rates prove to our mine owners, tint thissection can furnish them with thousands of tons of ore.

Previous to the time when the large smelting firms in Colo-

rado and Texas entered into a combination or trust, vast quanti-

ties of this class of our ores was treated by them at a profit to

our people, but after the combination the rates for smeltingwere placed so high that it made it tofurther and some of the largest mines in the countyas well as the smaller ones were closed down, thus throwinghundreds of men out of and checking further

and work.Xow, should the advent of this new firm again start these

mines into operation on a paying basis, as it Ls hoped it will, onaccount of the proximity of the smelter to this section, whichwill te a great advantage in rates,

there is also another possible advantage that may residtfrom this new smelter entering this field, that is it may cause arivalry to spring up between the different smelters for the pa-

tronage of this section, and this may rewrlt in bringing theprices down to such a figuere that our mines can again resumeactivity and put thousands of men to work and bring millionsof dollars into circulation in this section. Such a conditiou will

te most welcome.

OF

RED ROCK MINEAn important mining sale, which has been under negotiations

for the st five months was consummated yesterday whereby the RedRock mine in Big Bug district passes to a Boston company. Themine was formerly owned by Joe Askew antl Ben Rybon who, hav-th- e

greatest amount of faith in its ultimate outcome, invested all

their money in its development. They fell short, however, of get-

ting it to a dividend paying point, and the property fell into thehauds of San Francisco parties, under the management of W. T. Lit-

tle, who proceeded to prosecute the development work, until a suffi-

cient ore body was opened up to justify the erection of a mill. Mr.

Little built the mill and has operated it most of the time since at thesame time continuing to push development until the mine has beenwell developed.

The purchase price is not given out out it is said to te in theneighterhood of 100,000. E. A. Powers, a well known mining man,

who has teen operating near Jerome, will have charge of the prop-

erty aud went out today to receive it from Mr. Little. The ileal was

promoted by W. C. Bashford, this being the second one that he hasclosiil up this mouth, the other pioperty being the Mineral Hillmine near Huron station, of which he has had charge for severalmonths. The latter property was purchased by Dr. T. B. Comstock.for a Scotch syndicate.

Tt was reallv unnecessary for Hon

Benjamin Harrison to dignify with a

denial the sillv storv that he was try- -

ing to have the army reorganizationTigbill defeated by congress to humiliatePresident McKiuley.

Mining Items From Grotim Creek.

The following items fam ourGrnom creek correspondent is the concluding jKirt of the letter of Hilary6.

On the north joining time claimsare W. X. Kelly's five patented claims.North and South Lone Star mines,Gazell. Surprise and Xevada. TheGazell has a 90 foot tunnel and a 40foot shaft, the surprise a 70 foot f aaft.and the Nevada a 13o foot sbatt.There has teen a good amount ofshipping ore taken from tiese minesand there are "lots of goad chutes ofgood ore cropping oat on the mmintx.These mines have not been workedf r years but it is hoped that workwill" te resumed on them in the uearfuture. They have plenty of goodtimber aud water on them.

Ail joining these are the M idniKhtTest group of mines. Mr. Pickrel ismilling his second class ore and ship-yin- g

hi- - first class. This is a veryrich little silver mine.

East anil a little further down thecreek is the Home Run group of

unities, Dan Monihan supterintendentaud manager. The further in the

drifts thev'tro the more water theyhave to contend with but inside of ai.v thev will have their new 40-hor-

power teiler and hoist and stationp imp. The pump will te at the 130foot level with a sump cut for it. Mr.Monihan is going to sink again as heis well pleased with the outlook andtias good bodies of ore in the northand south levels.

Adjoining these on the north is theAmy.'owned by James O'Conneli, theman who bonded the Home RunT!up to Mr. Monihan. He has had

two men workiug on this mine forsome time and a short time ago they

In my next letter I will try and tellyou what we have over hew on the"middle and south forks of the creeh.

Mohave County Mines.

The Lucky Boy pay chute is stead-i- i

v widening as depth is reached audthe ore grows richer. At a depth ofa jo; it 250 feet the ore is two feet wideand averages 5125 per ton. Regularshipments are made from this prop-erty.

Fr ink Wilson returned from Quar-- :

Sunday with the opinion thatthe Quartette people have one of the

st mines on earth, and that there' are others in that locality. The com-mm-

will build a narrow guage roadtrom the mine to their forty stampmiil now almost completed on theriver sixteen miles from the miue.

A Wealtii reporter inspected the- ore dump of the Mollie

',' - .., lhi week and sawchunks of ore that would botherSampson to turn over. The Molly isall right, aad the main shaft is w den-im- g

ih ay chute with every foot ofdepth. Col. Harris, one of the owne-

r-, and general manager, will make ashipper out of the Molly Gqwou in avery few lays. He will sink the shaft500 feet, and from the looks of thingsthe shaft will lie in ore all the way.The value of the ore shipped by ther:r Is 57 ounces silver. $t gold and HO

cent lend. Mr. Bush is the su-- j

' mtendeut. and T. J. Grant super-intend- s

the mine and does as muchv. i is two men besides. The Mol-ii- e

Gipaoa is now in good hands andthe people of the district are glad ofit. Oof Mineral Wealth.

Th- - work of putting in forty addi-!!- :

i! st .mots to the Congress mill is

pt ,n whig toward comple-tion. The addition to the mill islarge enough to admit of twenty morestamps in aduitiou to the forty, whichwould ma' e an aggregate o !'sLimns. The com pan v expti-t- s tohave this number in operation withinthe ne:f vear or two.
