Mines and MininQ
NO MORE THROAT CUTTING.

An interview yesterday evening with J. Frank Judson of the Mining Reporter brought out an expression concerning some of the hopeful signs of the atmosphere.
 ''It pleases me highly said MT. Judson, ''to hear the mine and pros pect owners of Pima county speak well of the properties of each ether. I have found that encouraging habit prevailing in this section, and I must say, to my surprise, for it is the cus- tom in most new mining sections for every man to decry the properties of his neighbor.
 ''ft is a good thing for the country for every man to be fair and impartial in his judgment of prospects. To be sure, thorough mining men buy on their own judgment, but there is a great deal of what might be terme,s new money" coming into the country, and the men who have this are easily d1sgusted and no surer way to do it exists than to observe the ''dog-in-the- manager" policy I have spoken of.
 More eastern money is looking this way than ever before, for money is plenty there and opportunities to in vest it profitably need to be diligently sought. The copper mines of the wes. offer an inviting field, and Arizona is receiving her share of attention From what I have seen, think Pima county is not being left in the rear. ."-Tucson Citizen.
 THE T. M. AND M. COMPANY.
 J. w. Cheyney, president of the T. M. and NJ. company, arrived from Phil adelphia this afternoon on a special T-I-. Cheyney may mean the working of quite a number of men on the T. NJ and M. company properties here, as it is understood the company has favor ably considered the proposition of leas- ing It's ground to ch1oriders who are anxious to work on the mines and pay a regular royalty for the privilege. MT. Cheyney is here to look into the mat ter and confer with Superintendent Gray regarding the same.
 Since it has been rumored about that the T. M. and M. company might grant leases on it's property over forty ap- plicants have filed requests for privi- leges and many more would willingly take advantage of the opportunity ali of whom could be early accommodated if leases are granted. A decision on the matter is expected within a few days when the Prospector hopes to an nounce that the desired opportunity is open to hloriders.-Tombsto PrOSpectOr.
