TOM BsT0NE DISTRICT
Described by Major S. M. Davis of
 Fl Paso

The outlook for gold mining in Ari- zona is very bright. says Major S. M Davis, mineral agent of the Fl Paso chamber of commerce in the Fl Paso Herald. There is not shadow of doubt that Arizona in the near future will take front rank as a producer of gold. It is an indisputable fact that gold is more widely distrib- uted and more accessible in paying quantities than in any other state or territory in the United States. Every range of mountains running through the territory is scanned With veins. carrying gold, silver and copper and her valleys are one mass of placers. awaiting the development of water As for free milling propositions, Ari- Zona stands at the head of the list. The mining world has heard for years that the veins in Arizona do not go down. I know it to be a fact that in all attitudes above 5000 feet they do go down. It has been tested in a hundred districts that are working at the 1000 foot level today and growing richer as they go down. Arizona s climatic conditions for mining are un- eXcelled in any mining country in the World-no winter, no aValanches. You can eat your breakfast at your mine and your supper in your orange grove. Arizona is the ideal mining country of the world. and the mining fraternity will only have to investigate it and be convinced of the fact.
 l have just looked over the old min ing caEp of Tombstone. Arizona. which in past years has produced over $40, 900, 900 worth of silver. The whole county of Cochise is one vast store house of minerals. In the Chiricahua. the Dragons, Huachuca, Dos CabezaS and the Swisshelm are fine fields for the prospector. The mountains are ribbed with gold, silver and copper, and the erosion has been so great that the veins are easily discovered. You must remember that these mountains In Arizona were old mountains long before the mountains of Colorado were born. This county is the banner min eral producing county in the territory
 A L. Grow is working a good force of men on the Tranquility and Head Center group of mines. The vein is one and three-quarter miles in length and varies from two to six feet in width. Most of the ore is rich in chlorides. Most of the ores above water line are free milling. The big flow of water in the camp at about 45O feet depth is the great drawback at the present time. The whole camp could be drained by putting in one big pump, and if the mine owners would go in to- gether and do it, at least a thousand men could be put to work taking out rich ore running high in gold and sil- yer. The formation of the camp is in porphyry and lime. MT. Grow will collect a nice lot of mineral and ship 10 the Chamber of Commerce. This old camp of Tombstone, which has been sleeping for ten years, will awaken soon and astonish the whole

Mrs. Ross and tha baby were in Kansas visiting relatives since last May, and MT. Ro.s went to meet them and bring them home over d moW.h ago.

 The big rent in the democra tic party seems t. have been saved up, for word reached here last night that Col. Will son had come off the perch, letting the nomination for congress go unmolested to Mark smith. Smith will be in Je- rome tonight to deliver the speech he failed to deliver when billed here be- fore. This arrangement may suit the majority of good democrats in Jerome but none can tell for certain til. the votes are oouE,ed. Some people here still think the TWO nominees Tipped the coin for the plum. Dodgers are out announcing the great speaking this evening, and all preparation was made to properly receive the d. iCgate to con- gress. It does look hard. Enough, to fix up the band stand in gay colors to hear the delegate speak. and then have that delegate drop off, leaving the work to be done over aga.n for another man. c. $. Thompson, of the Jerome Re porter, and Dr. Carrier, a well known physician. went to the Verde river yes , terday to look at the democratic fenc- es.
 J. G. Mcbride went out to the hills this morning to look over some mining claims on which he is making a deal. Mining is just in it's infancy in and around this district. Companies are getting interested in properties here almost every week.
 The Independent telephone company has connected it's line With the outside world with telegraph line. The line used is the same as that used for tale- phOning, but the wire can be used for . a telephone and telegraph line at the same time.

 The Water Vale Mining company is working a lot of claims, the Sidney, Silver Bell. Bon Ton. and Rattler. NJ. D. Scribner is working the Telephone mine and shipping manganese ore to Fl Paso, running well in silver. He has a force of twelve to fifteen men. W. J. Young. five miles from Tomb stone, is working the Great Western and is a regular shipper to Fl Paso. The Middlemarch has a sixty ton smelter on the mine smelting copper ore. The Black Diamond has put in Burly drills working about thi:ty-five men, and is a regular shipper to Fl PasO. new company, called the Copper Crown company has just been formed, and will be a regular shipper to the Fl Paso smelter. The Copper Bullion company is a regular shipper but they are putting in their own smelter and will treat their ore at the mine. The Turquoise mine is doing q lot of development work. and will in the near future put in an up-to-date smelter. The Easter and Montana mine is q new company. They have put Tn q COIlCenlEdlOT. nave plSHlN Ol water and are making big success.
 Ryan brothers, the cattle kings of the west. have turned their attention to mining and have several groups under bond. They are pushing development work and they also expect 10 put in a big plant as soon as enough ore is in sight to justify it. The Holmes group of claims is under bond to Colorado parties and is being developed, and the sale will undoubtedly go through. Thomas SOrin has a good lot of miners developing his group of claims. The Swain, the Wiser, the Wald, the Wilks. the Four, the Barrett and the Walker are all promising copper claims. In the whole range of the DragOOn mount aims, from Johnsonville on the north to Turquoise on the south. hundreds of claims are now being developed and q considerable number are running high in copper and silver.
 The Exposed Reef company lies about twenty-five miles southwest cf Ton bs,one. They are putting in a sixty-ton cyanidinG plant ant are working about 140 men. These parties bought this large reef a few months ago and commenced on $6 to $S gold ore, and today they have opened up hundreds of tons of ore running from SIS to s20 per ton in gold. The com pany is composed of people of Akron, Ohio. and they have bonanza. A. H. Manuel is developing good number of claims which are looking well and will make big producers. Henry Gray is i pushing work on the TOughnut and hopes to make a big mine soon.
 J. P. Larrien of Fairbanks has group of eleven claims of wolframite and says the metal runs 62 per cent tungstic acid. These claims could be made to pay with a concentrator. as | the pure acid is worth about $500 per ! ton. Considerable wOlframite is being shipped from the DragoOn mountains and considerable development work is going on.
 I was considerably surprised to fin l so much work going on in this part of the territory and so little said about T it in the papers of the southwest. When this part of the territory is

GOLD DISAPPEARS.
Apparent Shortage Of 500, OOO. OOO-The
Treasury ORciaIs Considering Plans
70 Find Out What Became Oft

New York, May 12.-Assistant Treas
urer N. L. Muhleman at the subtreas-
Ury has under consideration the
problem Of discovering what has be
come Of s4OO,OO0,OO0 In gold which, 50
far as the treasury department knows,
has disappeared. Mr.. Muhleman ad-
mitted that he was looking into the
matter, but added that he could say
nothing at present regarding what he
Is doing or intending to do. He said,
however, that he understood that the
mint authorities had sent to every
manufacturing jeweler in the country
blanks to be filed out with information
as to every bit OF gold they have used
during the past year.
For nearly thirty years the treasury
department has kept a complete record
of the coinage and the exports and i'm
ports Of gold. The government author
tiles are supposed to know what be
comes Of the coin, except, Of course,
that which is used in the arts or lost.
A recent calculation, based on the
amount that had been coined, showed
that there should be In the subtreasury
and in the banks 81, 100000 IN gold.
When the treasury officials tried to
to verify this they discovered to their
surprise, that they could not account
for s4OO,OOO,OOO.
They went all over their figures
again, but were still unable to locate
the missing gold. Then they set on
foot an inquiry and Mr.. Muhleman, as
an expert in such matters, was asked
to look into the matter. The depart
-ment expects to be able to account for
the missing coin down to the last
dollar.

DEWEY AT Knoxville.
The Admiral visits the BIrthpIaea OF Par
raEut and Unvsua the Memorial stone

Knoxville, Tenn, Nay 16.-Admiral
George Dewey and party spent the
largest part Of yesterday In visiting
the birthplace Of Admiral Farragut-
The trip to the place was made down
the Tennessee river by steamboat and
at various points along the river the
POPUlaee gathered IN great numbers
and greeted the admiral as he passed.
At loves ferry, where Admiral Far
ragut was born, a memorial Of Ten
nessee pink marble had been placed
by Knoxville chapter Of the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution
Around this stone a large fhrOng Of
people gathered and witnessed the
unwilling and dedication Of the me
mortal stone by Admiral Dewey.
Admiral Dewey, IN his speech re-
ferring to Admiral. Farragut, said:
81 cannot tell how deeply grateful
I am that you have given me an Op-
POrtunity to pay my homage to the
memory of Admiral Farragut, that
great naval commander my Opin-
ion the greatest in the annals of our
country. This opinion have formed
not only by reading of his gallant
deeds, though these might well be
deemed sufficient for the purpose, but
from personal contact with him, hay
ing served in his squadron under his
immediate command. Though I was
then but a young man, am proud
to say that Farragut was my friend.
Many years ago I took him for my
special example and in all the impor-
tant epOchs Of my life, particularly
during the most recent years, have
always thought before deciding upon
a course Of action, when a crisis was
pending, what would Farragut have
done under similar circumstance? 2
In accepting a portrait Of Admiral
Farragut, presented by Judge o. P.
Temple, Admiral Dewey said a few
words In thanks.

At first sight it would seem that
the ike good luck might fall to any
man, but the reality runs much the
other way, says Ainslee's Magazine.
The man Of quick intelligence, Of
judgment and decision is not the man
who ordinarily achieves this sudden
wealth. It is the man who Is too
stupid to know the risks he is taking,
and It is the reckless man who plunges
wildly and misses no desperate chance,
who seem fayOrites Of the god Of
chance. Nor do all good luck stories
have pleasant endings. Often after
the pile is made, accident, disease OF
death steps in to prevent its legiti-
mate enjoyment. One man dropped
