Arizona republican., 1899-06-17

ity with lis bow and arrows is very
 active this spring.
 George W. Hull has returned from Boston laden with bright prospects for his mining lprcm1tions. Age cannot
 wither nor custom stale the infinite variety Of this old man energetic, and if the years will continue to keep their hands eff him as they have done in the past Arizona will doubtless soon have another millionaire to her credit.
 The reports from the Cananea mines. under the management Of l George Mitchell, in the Arizpe district | Mexico. continue to be of the most flat l tering nature. AS a great many Je- ! rome people are interested heavily in this venture, each encouraging report finds a warm welcome.
 The organization of local lodge of A. 0. L. w. assisted in by AttOr- ney O'Suliivan and Recorder Tom Schultz of Prescott has been effected, it is said with forty charter members. Arizona has a jurisdiction of It's own now, having cut loose from the Colo rado jurisdiction at the last meeting of that body held a few weeks aga.
 Letters from MT. and Mrs. Walter c. Miller have been received from Coro- nad0 and Los Angeles and they report 8 magnificent time in all respects.
 NIr H. E. Owens, in charge of the development of the News group of mines, is pushing things with great vim. Machinery will soon be in and the work is to be prosecuted without cessation or intermission In fact this appears to be the spirit animating the management of affairs in all the newer mines in the vicinity, including the Copper Chief. the Equator, the Jerome Copper cCmpany's property, the Unit ed Verde Extension and the St. Peter Martin group lately incorporated un- der the name of the United Verde Jr. However. it may be remarked en pas sant that this trading on the name of the United Verde is getting to be somewhat Of a chestnut and if per sisted in by new companies will Ea found to react in a way not t3 the advantage anticipated. If the mine has merit intrinsically it does not need the name of well known property to boost it. If it has no merit it's name will not affect the assays Of it's sam pies, and the public certainly locks with suspicion on palpabie efforts to trade new properties on the name of mines that are wOrld-famOus. If mine promoters are honest in their purpose to capitalize actual mines fer the pur- poses of development it possibly will inspire greater confidence among po- tential investors if they shall choose titles without reference to any Operat- ing plant in the vicinity.
 The weather is very warm and dry Building continues tc go ahead slowly, but in a manner much more satisfac- tory to the general public than hereto fore
 Social affairs do not appear to be much affected by the heat. The Rath- bones gave an enjoyable calico ball a few nights ago, and there was an ice cream social in aid of the church at Druggist Tarr's new building lasi week, while private entertainments are of almost nightly occurrence. The valley claims .nrge part of JerOmeS population nearly every Sunday and doves are reported to be very abund- ant.
