there are four of them whose papers
are a never failing source of pleasure
Ed Howe. of the Atchison Globe; John
Conroy. of the Norton Champion; Ellis

ARIZONA SILVER MINES.
H. l.. Frank of Anaconda, Montana, Secures Some Valuable Proper
 ties in Mohave County.

H. L. Frank arrived home yesterday
 after an absence of several weeks from { Butte He states that business con- 1 ditions in the sections that he visited are steadily growing better and that he ! has never seen so much interest mani i fested by eastern people in western i mining interests.
 People east" he said, seem to be ] getting more confidence than they have ever had in the west, and particularly in mining. Western dividend paying
 mines are sought after more than any
 other kind of stocks"
 MT. Frank is elated just now over a new interest he has just acquired, and if his expectations are realized, he will be the founder of 8 new silver district greater than the Occur d'Alenes. The
 returns from the property on which
 development work is being done show
 fabulously rich vein of galena ore
 filed with wire and ruby silver.
 MT. Frank was exhibiting some sam pies of the ore yesterday and they are very handsome specimens. He stated that the shaft on one of the claims is down so feet, at which point the vein is three feet wide, and 24 inches of it is solid galena, with the wire and ruby silver all through it. Assays from this -24 inches of the vein gave 400 ounces of silver at the lowest, and went as high as 2,000 ounces. The rest is pure lead, or about 70 per cent.
 The new camp is located in Mohave county. Arizona, at the town Of ChlOr7 idle, 20 miles from Kingman, on the At chison. Topeka 6 Santa Fe railroad. MT. Frank secured the properties through one of the lucky pieces of for tune that seem always coming his way A friend who had business in Arizona came across the properties and thought so well of them that he told MT. Frank about them, when they chanced to meet. MT. Frank wrote at once to J. c. Adams Of this city, asking him to go to Arizona and look at the DToperJJ- MT. Adams was so enthusiastic in hlS reDort that MT Fran&. immediately closed deal paying $50000 for two full claims and a fraction of another The principal claims are called the Molly Gibson and Bullion Beck. after the famous silver mines by those names in Colorado and Utah. Inc fraction is called the Wonder. The properties up to the time MT. Frank acquired them were being developed on a small scale by the lOcatOrs, who had a shaft down 80 or 90 feet on each claim. He intends to lmmeuldleiy erect hoisting works and begin de- veloping on an extensive scale MT. Frank secured the properties two weeks ago. and has already secured as surances from the, Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe people that a branch line will be built to the camp from King man immediately.
 MT Adams who returned with MT. Frank yesterday is more enthusiastic than MT. Frank. He stated last even ing that all the ore will run as high as $10O a ton and he predicts that the district will turn out richer than the Occur d'Alene coun5ry.-Anaconda | (MOnt) Standard
