Prosperity I'm kansas.

A comparison of the statement Of
the First National Bank of Hutchinson,
made on the fifth day of September of
the present year, with one rendered
on June 29th, 1895, discloses some in
teresting facts relative to the growth
of this large institution.
Besides revealing something Of the
development of the bank, it is also in
teresting as an index of the changes
that have occurred in the development
of the business life of this community.
In 1895 our merchants, farmers and
stockmen had borrowed from this bank
1925, 227.69. In September, 1900, their
loans were increased to $546,440.98.
In the first statement, 1895, the cash
on hand was $73,427.44. In September,
1900, the cash available was as follows:
Cash on hand. ,3S9.S1

county properties. many of which are developing into large producing mines, During its short career the paper has grown from a little thing rot IT uch larger than a postage stamp to very creditable journal of from eight 10 ten pages, and has also been submitted to the test of fire and dynamite. Editor Shultz has a way of speaking his own mind that is commendable, whatever the issues may be, and whatever side of the question he may be on. But incidentally his text is always mining. That has brought him the strong sup port of the miners of the north, . sup port of which he is fully deserving.
 A gentleman who was here from Tucson yesterday. says that an oil ex- pert from California whc was recently in Tucson on the way home f, om the Beaumont oil fields, gave him some IT, formation that gives Tucson oil pros pectors great encourag eincns. He said that for some time past a party of gov ernment experts had been making in- vestigations all over the southwest rel ative to oil prospects. and that their report would not be made public Jill about the first of July, but that it had been quietly learned that these experts had sunk three wells within ten miles of the city of Tucson and that oil had bsen found in every one of them, The depth attained or the quantity of the oil was not learned, but Arizona will keep her eye open for government re- ports.

Pacific coast line Is the encouragement in the form of many valuable mining possessions in the Sierra Madre nlcun- tains which would be tapped and placed in easy communication with the seaboard. Before the end of this year. however, the road from Bisbee which has already passed through Douglass will reach NacosaIi and 1t may he pushed immediately toward tldewater The richest region of Mexico and one of the most heavily mineraliZed regions ! in the world lies in the Sierra Madre range and it is said that all the impor- tant roads of the southwest are striv- ing to tap it.
 Phelps, Dodge & Co. are threatened with keen competition by the Southern Pacific. The former company will par allel it's road to Es Paso but in turn the Southern Pacific is likely to run a parallzl line west through northern M5 xico through the Sierra Madres to the coast, following it down to Mazat- Ian for suitable seaport and to open immensely rich agricultural sections along the coast. That company Is al- ready surveying a line from Bowie. on It's Arizona main line to Mexico, which likely is an initial step in the construc- ticn of a great railroad opening north western Mexico. W. c. Greene, pres ident of the Greene Consolidated Cop per company, which owns rich and vast but newly developed copper holdings in the Cananea mountains of Mexico, sixty miles south of Naco on the inter national boundary line gives out the statement that his company will meet the Southern Pacific at Naco with the road from Cananea that it has begun already to build.
 Rumors are ahoat that the Southern Pacific is absorbing the Mexican Ma tional and securing control of the Mon terey and Gulf road. The Rock Island is also said to be figuring on the Mexi- can Central.
