SAVINGS. In. Shoes.
The price of all sorts of leather has advanced ma
terialiy in the last six months.
Any merchant will tell you that. Its a cold fact.
Our shoes were bought in Boston-the largest
shoe market in the world-last March. Our regular
lines were procured at the original low prices. less ad-
ddlonal reductions for taking large quantities and pay
ing cash-a precedent established "a years ago.
For the benefit of our regular customers and to
secure new customers we have decided to double our
Shoe business by cutting our profits. AS a result we
shall do the biggest Fall business in our entire history
and our prices for Fall must be accordingly cheap. We
have therefore marked IA off the price of these Shoes
and a bona tide reduction of IA means a great deal.
We have not marked a $I.25 to ST. and
then call it reduced from $3.50
We have but one price for each Shoe and
the reductions are in every case real and alb
soIute.
Our Guarantee Goes With Every Pair.
Following are a few items taken at random

But Santa Cruz county is all right;
it has faced the music and demonstrated

are going to have good roads and
schools. The assessed valuation is
already about one million dollars. which
is little more than that of Yuma
county, and in another year Santa
Cruz will have passed two or three
more of the older counties. Its finan-
cial standing is good and its present
board of supervisors propose to keep
it so, by keeping out of debt as much
as possible and providing for the
prompt payment of its obligations.

IN MINING FIELDS.
Progress Of Development in Arizona
and Sonora.

Probably the most promising mine
in the Orc Blanco district, Santa Cruz
county, is the Tres Amigos, owned by
Frank McMasters of Los Angeles, says
the Star. Mr.. McMasJers bought the
mine fow months ago for so, 600, but
it is doubtful if four times that amount
would purchase tie mine at the present
time.
The Old Glory mine between the
Tres Amigos and Golden Eagle group
a good property. The Kelly Brothers
are spending considerable money on
hydraulic proposition. A big dam is
being built, and in all probability some
thing interesting will develop in con-
nection with the work now being
dono
Jamos Shirley and William Wander
bilt have filed a suit in Maricopa coun-
ty against George Mitchell, claiming
Sl25 900 as their share of the sale of
the Cobre Grande property by Nit
chell to james Costello and his asso-
ciates, and the court has issued a pre-
liminary injunction against Mitchell
and cites him to show cause why plain
titfs are not entitled to the amount
claimed. The S75, 600 deposited for de-
velopment work on the Cobre Grande
group is not involved, and work, there
fore, will not be interrupted. The
same plaintiffs have instituted suit
against G.. w. Hull, clalmining share
of the proceeds of the sale OF the United
verde Extension property.
A small stamp mill is kept running
night and day and about eight tons of
ore is handled daily. No ore is run
through the mill that averages less
than S25 per ton, and many tons are
handled that run $500 in gold to the
ton. Aside from the contemplated in
crease in the capacity OF the mill Mr..
Mac Masters is now figuring on the
early placing of cyanide plant on the
property to handle the tailings. Al
tog ether the showing for Il big bonan-
"a fIom the Tres Amigos is promising.
Many other valuable properties in the
/ OIO 4OltuCO dIS AGetI lllC L lSS
Amigos. The Golden Eagle group of
mines belonging to MIR. Mcdonald are
making an excellent showing. A
good deal of development work is be-
ing done and some very rich ore from
! the property has been exhibited.
Operators of miners say they have
never experienced so much difficulty in
securing miners at any previous time.
! Several requests have been made in
/ Mogales during the week for men at
various camps tributary to this town,
and in some cases the demand has not
/ been supplied. TIC Hughes Of Tucson,
was in Nogales this week and after a
deal of work rounded up six men.
Ben Daniels, superintendent of Charley
Hays Calera property, east of Casita.
Sonora, engaged four MeXicans to go
to work for him, and at the appOln ted
time only two of them repoI ted. He
went to the mines with these, and when
/ he arrived there he found that six of
his force had quit to attend ''cumple
ano" of some friend. Good miners can
find work in this vicinity at good
wages.

THE AMERICAN R
She is the Cleverest, Most Beautiful
and the Best-Dressed of Women.

"The American girl has set the STAN
dard of beauty for the whole world, and
unlike most sweeping statements, there
never was one so true. even in its finest
ANALYSIS, writes Edward Box in the May
Ladies Home Journal. And not only
is this true OF the American girls beauty,
but it goes further and is true of her chic
and her brightness. She is the eleverest
and most graceful girl in the world.
Likewise she is the best-dressed. The
French may set the fashions, but it takes
an American girl to wear them. No
girl so completely understands the art of
dressing we'll. See, for a moment, how
true this is Of the girl Of limited income
she who is out in the world earning her
daily bread. No girl in the world dresses
more becomingly than the self-supporting
girl of America. Everyone who has seen
anything of the world and of the working
girls of other nations knows how literally
true this is. The working-girl in Ameri-
ca is prettier to begin with. W. all know
that some of the prettiest types Of Ameri-
con girlhood are found behind the coun-
tiers of stores and at desks in offices.
But the American girl does not stop with
her personal beauty. She is clever
enough to know exactly how to dress to
suit her circumstances, and rarely does
she overdress.
