Phoenix has gradually become the
centre of the mining operations of the
territory. Here buyers come and here
those who have mining properties for
sale are generally to be found, from
almost any portion of the territory
The larsest deals in the territory are
made heas and they are becoming
more and more frequent. The terri
tory has ever seen anything like these
inquiries made for good mining pro-
perties, nor has it ever seen so many
deals under way. There are importa nj
sales now pending in the territory that
will give the entire mining business
an impetus when consumma ted, such
as will carry it into the greatest activ-
ity in the near future. However, 1t1is
not to be anti plted that reck' ess deal
ing is indulged in by any means. The
metal must be in sight in such guam
titles that warrant the payment of
prices asked or there are no sales. That
means well-developed mines that show
what they contain

of the husks and yearn for the bless

republican party that was godfather
to most of these states When they
were brought into the national family
and it was that party's policies of pro

made them great and robust, so that
it was particularly greyious sin fol
