To the directors, Rny Copper Mines, Limited, 11 and 12, Cement's Lane, Lombard Street, London, E. C. : Gentlemen I have pleasure in sub mitting report on progress of work here: Mines: Preparatory and devel opment work is proceeding in a satis factory manner. Ray: In the cross cut towards the west from the bottom of the main shaft, which is 220 ft. deep, the wall of the mass ban been encoun tered, and shows rich ore. A drift to. wards the south is leing driven which will supply the greater portion of the ore for the old mill. The eabt wall has not yet been cut, and so far the bw here shows a width of over 100 ft. Arrangements are being made to drivii an adit level a little above the creek bed, which will interact the ore mass at a depth of about 190 ft. below the top of the main shaft, and thus facilitate the extraction of ore and the means of connection with the steam tramway on Mineral Creek. A large mass of ore undoubtedly exists on this portion of the property. Sharkey : Here cross-cuts have been driven from the bottom of the shaft at a depth of 210 ft. from the surface, showing a width of GO ft., but no walls have yet been cut. Here it is impossible to say what quantity of ore may be eventally exposed, bnt that the quantity will be very great is beyond question. Hum boldt : A contract has been given to sink a large xtraetion shaft, 12 ft. by 5 ft., on this claim. This shaft will eventually be connected with the Sharkey shaft, as ore undoubtedly exists all the way from one shaft to the other. This Humboldt shaft will be the miin extraction shaft for this portion of the property, and a branch, line will be run frotn the Mineral Creek tramway to this shaft. I can not yet say much about the size of the ore body, but I am certain that it will be very large. Tribunal : A contract has been given to sink a shaft similar in size to the Humboldt, on this claim. A large mass of very good ore is ex posed here on the surface, and on an adjacent claim called the Man Tiger, which does not belong to the company, very rich ore lias been cut. The Tri- j buual shaft will cut tais ore, and even. , tuaily a drift will be driven from the j bottom, of the Tribnual shaft towards ; is a guarantee of Superior Worth In baking powder, in these days of un scrupulous adulteration, a great name gives the best security.

Lventually a shaft will be S'uuk on the Mathias and Hall claim, but this is not press ing at present. Lincoln: The Lincola shaft has attained a depth of 80 ft., and is aot at present being sunk, as the hoisting engine ordered for this work has not yet come to hand. This shaft is all in ore, and will eventually develop a large ore body. As soon as the hoist arrives this work will be proceeded with. There is no doubt that very large quantities of ore can be extracted from these places and the question of an ample supply of ore for even a large concentrating mill can be considered as decided. The means of transporting the ore to the mill,. aud the erection of the mill itself, are what will cause delay. By the time the mill is erected and the tram way built the mine will be produciag a large quantity of ore. Mill sjte :. It has been decided to erect the concen trating mill on the Gila River, at the mouth of Mineral Creek, because First, an ample supply of water for all future requirements, no matter to Uow large dimensions the mill may event ually grow, can be obtained;, and second, because Mineral Creek formed the on'y feasible exit from the mines. The site chosen is excellent, snd grouud snitablfl for a town site, and all necessary offices and work-shops lies in close proximity to the mill site. I have named this pla.;e "Regila," a combination of Rav and Gila, the name of the river. I enclose a sketch map, showing the mines and the mill site, and approximately, the route taken by the tramway. Tramway : ' This will be a narrow-gauge railway of 2 ft. 6 ins. gauge, and operated by means of locomotives, and will be capable of transporting a large quanti ty of ore, as the grande is down hill all the way from the mines to the mill. From the mill the tramway will be continued across the Gila River for about three miles to a point where the traction, engine can come. From this point to the Southern Pacific Railway station of Red Rock all freight will be carried by the traction engine at a cost which will not exceed $1.75. per ton. There, are several schemes for railways connecting Tucson and Flor ence, which all nass near the Oil River, where we cross it, so it would be imprudent to consider the continua tion of our narrowgauge railway to Red Rock for the present, as probably we may be able to conneet shortly, with another system, and the traction engine will, I trust, meet all our im- girJers and rails to the upper end of the line.. The bridge over the Gila River will be at once the most ex pensive and protracted piece of work , and I am unfortunately not at present able to give any detailed, estimates or particulars, either as- to cost or length of lime required to construct it. The construction of the tramway and the erection and even working of the mill can,, however, be- carried on with a little extra cost during the construc tion of the bridge. New mill : Plans and estimates for the mill are being pre pared,, and I expect to be in a position to close the contract within the next fortnight. So far as I can judge, the Gates Ironworks, of Chicago, offered the best terms for this machinery and plant. Plant ordered: The follow ing machinery has been contracted, for: One 180 b.-p. air compressor, engine anil boiler; two gasoline hoists;, one 2-ft. 6 in. gauge locomotive; 15 ore cars,. 2 ft. 6-in. gauge; four flat cars, 2 f t. 6-in. gauge ; 400 tons 25-lb. steel rails,, with joints,, bolts, nuts andi spikes; one traction engine; three cars for traction engine; 15 mine cars, 18-in. guage; 15 tons 8-lb. steel rails for mines; telephone instruments,. poles, wire, Ac; various fittings for old mill ;, pump for old mill; sundry supplies, such as lumber, cord-wood, gasoline,. sleepers, mine timbers, &c. Old mill : The old mill is at work and every possible effort will be used to keep it producing eooctmtrates pending the erection of the new mill, so ihat some saleable material may be produced. The loss in tailings will be greater than will be the case wHh more modern and perfect machinery, but notwithstanding, I hope to show a good profit on this work. Alkx. Hili. there was little sympathy for the depraved life that sought only the worst of the world. Had the picture that is repealed ia the letter that came- to-day been portrayed at that time, perhaps there would imve been more sympathy for her. Peari has kept the story of her life from her mother, and since, her brothers and sisters hsve larned it through the Arizona papers, they too are holding the secret lest the breaking of the news kill their mother. The letter says : "To the sheriff : I see by the pa pers that you have Miss Pearl Hart in custody in Arizona for some misde meanor; Now as I am her brother-in-law I am interested in her welfare. It has been a long time since we heard from her and we did not know what had become of her. The paper stated that she wanted to go to her mother. I assure you that her mother would be glad to have her at home-, for I have seen her sit and cry when we were talking about Pearl and wondering what had become of her. Since she has unfortunately become an opium fiend we all have more 6ympahty for her. She is the only one in the family that has ever became addicted to such, habits. "Sow, I would beg of you- to be as easy with her as you can, for we have not dared to let her mother know that we have heard anything of her, and much less that she is a prisoner, as she is troubled with heart disease and the news might affect her serious ly. I enclose an envelope with my address for return. You. will do me the kindness to answer and tell me all the particulars ia her case. James T. Taylor, 712 'Jefferson street, Toledo, Ohio.". The news had not been received at Toledo that Pearl Hart was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary when the above letter was written. The family is no doubt poor, and this makes the pity for the mother of the woman bandit all the more keen. told to convert his money into bills,, fold them, and be would see his money doubled. The next time,, he sent for' 12 useful houseiU'".d articles, and got a packag of needles. He was- slow to learo , so lie lent a dollar to 3nd'out "How to get rich." ''VVork-iike the devil and never spend a cent." That stopped him, but his brother wrote to find out "how to write a letter with out pen or ink." He was told to use a lead pencil.. He paid $5 to learn how to live without work, and was told on a postal card to "Fish for suckers as. we do." Mystenous Murder. Grief of a Mother. From the Phoenix Herald.) Back in Toledo, Ohio, the mother of Pearl. Hart is grieving over the loss of her daughter. She is ignorant of the wild career which Pearl has led since- she left home, and when the members of the family speculate on what has become of Pearl, the old mother is unable to contain her sorrow. The hews of the downfall of her daugh ter would no doubt break her heart. At the sheriff's office a letter from theliome of Pearl in Ohio teils the saddest chapter in the story of Pearl Hart's life, for it comes from the sor rowing home of her mother.. When Pearl held up the Globe stage the only excuse she gave was that she wanted to get money enough to go to her mother. The public did not believe that she was telling the. truth,, and.

There was no mark by 'which the identity of the body could be estab- -lished, except that the middle finger of the right hand had a defective nail,. probably from the effects of a felon.

No blood stains or marks of vio lence were found on. the overalls, , which probably did not belong to the -deceased as they were to short for him. The clothing did not appear to have been exposed, to the weather so long as the body, and there is a suspicion that the garments might have been, placed there to mislead. - He Gat Information. A man who does not take his home paper, but occasionally answers ad vertisements in "story papers" has had some interesting experiences,, says an. exchange. He learned that by sending $1 to a Yankee he could get a cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he did; It was to "Take the pledge and keep it." Later on, he sent 50 two cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out "Just take hold of the tops and pull." Being young, he wished to marry, and sent 34 one-cent stamps- to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make impression. When the answer came it read. "Sit down on a pan of dough."' That was a little rough,; but he was a patient man, and thought he would yet succeed. The next advertisement he, answered read, "How to double jour money in six months."
