MINING NEWS.
The Silver King mine of Arizona
makes its daily shipments of a car-
load of concentrations.
One house in Prescott, so the
Courier says, takes in about a thou-
and dollars a month in placer gold-
The Prescott Courier says the Do-
soris company will very soon divide
about $75,000 between its owners.
The Mineral Park Miner learns
that Messrs. Hall & Co., of Denver,
Col., will put several men at work
next week on the claims they have
recently purchased in the Gold Ba-
sin district.
The American Flag mine at Her-
mosa was to have been closed down
last week, but the miners employed
thereon very sensibly refused to
quit work until paid. They are
three months in arrearage of pay.
The mine is worth many times the
amount due the men, and the super-
intendent, Alexander Bentley, Esq.
sustains the miners in their action.

Hytlro-Carbon.
In referring to the hydro.carbon
process soon to be tested at Hell
canyon, the White Oakes Leader
says; ''We are very much impress-
ed with the confidence expressed by
the proprietors of the new patent, in
the complete snccess of the process.
In theory it appears all right and it
only remains to be seen whether or
not it bear the test of practical ap-
plication.'' The result of the experi-
ment soon to be tried at the Hell
canyon smelter will be looked for
with a great deal of interest by min-
ers in all parts of the terrritory. If
successful it means not only the
saving to miners of $12 to .f 15 a ton
upon such ores as are now worked,
but it means the opening and profit-
able operation of hundreds of new-
mines which cannot be worked with-
out a looss, at the present cost of
Bmelting.
Getting too Particular.
It used tc be an easy matter to
satisfy European holders of Ameri-
can railroad shares when a dividend
was passed. It could be laid to
droughts, freshets, snow-slides,
grasshoppers, yellow fever, heat or
cold, or need of rolling stock.
Those people are getting more par-
ticular within the last year or two.
and really expect shares to bring
'em in some sort of income. An
American now traveling in Germa-
ny writes home that sonyj of our
non-paving dividend ruilroads will
have to employ a first-class liar to
invent new and satisfactory excu-
ses, or the shares will come back.
As one German holder remarked to
him:
'•My frendt, I wait now about five
years for some difidends on my
stock, but I doan' shmell a cent.
Eafery timeitvhas cyclones, grass-
hoppers, poor gropa or repairs, und
dot difidend goes py. If you doan'
have some peesness for your rail-
roads, vhy doan' you go on foot mit
ox-teams?"
