THE PICACHO WINDSTORM.

Last Thursday afternoon some half dozen or more stray Zephyrs of Califor- mia met in convention somewhere up in the range and formed a merger or trust" then started to do business without the formality of a charter. The combination had enough force to make a twenty-inch eletcric fan feel frazZled by the time it reached Picacho, and there it played some merry pranks. Some of the "Picach' men said that it played something else that sounded sulphurous. The work of the wind trust was aggravated by the heavy rain that followed in its wake.
 All told, however the bulk of the damage was done by San Diego cor respondents of the Los Angeles papers. The tornadoes they created about wip- cd the thriving camp off the map, with mangled inhabitants, wrecked hous $ and school house ornamenting the land- scape, with of course. the usuol bunch of ifs" Picacho is still doing business at the old stand, only trifie distigureu and very much in the ring.
 After caressing Picacho the zephyr combine passed around Yuma boaud east. At Gila Bend it took a farcy to the roundhouse but could not get away with it. It did, however, secure T sec tion of the roof as d souvenir.-Yuma Sentinel.

EXPLORING FOR OIL
George ". Norton Expects to Find It
 Near Quartzsite.

George w. Norton was down from Mohawk Friday last to look after some business matters, and, as usual, handed in a bunch of news items, says the Yuma Sentinel. He says that s. w. Pease. who has been drilling for ar tesian water, last week struck oil at q depth of 4o0 feet in a well he was sink ing at the Choyas, an old placer camp six miles from Quartzsite. Whether there is any quantity of the ore has not yet been determined. The capacity of the rig is 1,200 feet and the we'll will be put down to the limit in the hope of getting a strong flow of water, or possibly developing an oil gusher.
 Col. Norton is just now engaged in delivering a lot of casing from Mohawk Summit for the new 1000 foot well now being put down at the King of Arizona mine. He reports the Gila river as unfordabIe, but that the ranchers in the contiguous valleys are not worrying about that. They are having plenty ri water for irrigation and all growing crops are in splendid shape

EASTERN CAPITAL
Takes Over the Solomon Springs Cop-
 per Co.'S. Holdings.

The details of another big mining deal in this section have just come to light though it has been known for some time that the sale had been made, says the Bisbee Miner.
 In this deal the Solomon Springs Copper company's property has been bought by Houghton. Duluth and east ern capitalists for $500.00O.
 The property is situated about five miles southeast of Bisbee and consists of sixteen claims, formerly owned by the Solomon Springs Copper company and others. Considerable development work has been done.
 The deal was promoted by G. F.. Tom linscn, mining broker of this city. At torneys Hereford and Hazard of Tue son have been engaged of late in mak- ing examination of the titles and ab- stract and have recently closed their work and the deal has been brought to a final close.
 The Houghton Development company has been organized to work and de- velop the property, and has for its di- rectors Graham Pope, R. R. Goodell. J. H. Rice. F. G. Coggin. G. C. Law ton, of Houghton, Michigan, Samuel Kaufman, of Marquette, Michigan, and George G. Barnum, of Duluth, Minne- Sota
 The property is considered a valuable one and has one of the greatest surface showings in the whole district, there being immense out croppings or iron and manganese, which carries some copper. One of the claims has been nicknamed the Second Irish Mag
 At the time Mir. Tomlinson presented the property to the new purchasers Dr. l.. l.. Hubbard, eX-state geologist Of Michigan, was sent to make the ex- animation. His report was favorable, and a deal was made for the property.
 The new company have already star ted work, which is under the charge or Superintendent George c. Lawton, q mining man of much experience ana ability, and it is considered almost a certainty. that this property will de- velop into big copper mine.

MEXICAN MINES
Some of the Largest of Them the
 Least Talked About.

While there are frequent stories of the wonderful mines of old Mexico some of the most remarkable enter prises being carried on there are sell dom or never heard of in this coun- try. A gentleman who recently re- turned from Mexico and who has travelled widely in that republic men, tioned two or three such properties yesterday in private conversati tion.
 One of them is the property of the MaZaprel Copper company whose works are at Conception del Gro in the state of Zacatecas. The mine is q mammoth deposit of lead and copper ore and has to be, to keep running the big reduction plant which consists of copper furnaces, four lead furnaces, and Bessemer plant for purifying tho copper. In addition the company owns Q railroad 150 kilometers long, running from Saltillo tc Conception del Gro. From the mine to the plant are twenty i,ilometers of overhead tramways. The president of the company is William Purcell, who is at the head of one of the oldest banking houses in the re- public, and the general manager is Joseph Lynch. The company is q Mexican organization, but most of the stockholderS are ErgliShmen. For several years this company has been declaring dividends of about 40 per cent annually. The company gives en- ployment to about 4.000 men.
 Another big enterprise is that of the Mapami Mining company, in the state of Durango. a short distance north of Torreon. It is a Belgian company and ! is returning monthly dividends | amounting to about s160,000 Like the
 first mentioned company it also owns its own railroad, which is notable in that it crosses over the largest sus- pension bridge in the republic. The mine is silver lead. and it's workings are on a lal ge scale as may be sup posed both from the dividends quoted, i and the fact that in perfecting its re- duction plant it has arranged for the l carrying of the sulphur fumes from
 the shelter through a tunnel two kilo- | meters in length.
 Still another big Mexican group sell | dom heard of are the Bodie mines oi Zacatecas which have been paying en-
 ormOus dividends though the stock is
 not listed and the general public knows | little of what is going on there.

One-half to the eldest, one third to the next, and One-ninth to the youngest son. When the property was inven- toried it was found to consist of seven teen elephants.
 Here was a dilemma, for it was i'm possible to divide the property accori- ing to the terms of the will without chopping up the seventeenth elephant Finally the heirs applied to a wise law yer, Sum Punk. for advice. which they promised to act upon. Sum Punk had an elephant of his own. He drove it into the yard with the seventeen, and said:
 Now we will suppose that your fath- CT left these eighteen elephants. Fur Hum. take your half and depart:'
 So Fun Hum took nine elephants and went his way.
 Now, Nu Pin" said the wise man. take your third and depart also
 So Nu Pin took six elephants and went.
 Now. Ding Bat said the wise man. take your ninth and begone.' So Ding Bat took two elephants and disa ppeered. Then the lawyer took his own ele- phant and went home again feeling very well satisfied with himself.-Cas- sells Journal.

YAVAPAI PROPERTIES
Lively Work at the Gladstone, Ideal,
 Climax and Other Mines.

At the Gladstone mine, near McCaba. 3a men are employed and they are ship ping d carload of ore each day to Val Verde Just now they are prosecuting work on the 600 level and have the drift in a couple of hundred feet.-Courier
 The building for the Ideal stamp mill is completed and ready for the ma chinery, which will soon begin to ar rive. Superintendent Sharrneck and Manager Sarano are very busy pre- pairing for the plant. The Ideal people are certainly to be congratulated upon their good fortune in securing such good mineral property. The Blake group is a winner.-Prescott Herald.
 Supt. I. K. Truman, of the Climax mine, was in Prescott Wednesday and informed the Courier that development work at his place was progressing nice ly. At the present time they have seven shafts on this property with the pros poets of as many more under the pro- posed development scheme. The cid mill had been idle so long that the new owners determined to practically make a new one of if, and to that end erected a new concrete foundation under it's battery of ten stamps. put in two new concentrators and erected new cyanid- ing tanks. besides bunk houses, black smith shop and other necessary build ings for q well conducted mine includ- irg q new tramway-. Mir. Truman would not say when the more active develop ment work would commence but t would not be until everything was iu first class shape, and that would be shortly and then the Climax would be heard of as a producer as it was for years in the past.
 Out at the Mark Twain mine things are looking very good. Jim McDCnalG and his partner who are operating it have met with very good success and in the face of their tunnel they have twelve feet of very good ore most of which will be shipping. Just now they are about finishing another shipment lot 10 Val Verde and from appearances it will net them fully as much as the last car which was very satisfactory.
 Ben Blanchard, superintendent of the Iron King. has started men to work making camp near a property owned by the Iron King people, a short dis tance south of Mayer The location on which sinking will start as soon as the camp is established. is on a big iron dyke. similar in appearance and forma- tion to the Iron King.

MADE IN PHOENIX
First Declaration in Favor
 of National Irrigation
Guy E. Mitchell Reviews the Work of the National Congress From Its Beginning Twelve Years Ago.

Washington. Aug. 24. Special corre- spondence of The Republican)-The first national irrigation congress was held at Salt Lake City In 1891, the home of the first example of American irri gation by the Anglo-Saxon race-Mor mon irrigation fortyfour years before. In 1891 about three and one-half million acres were under irrigatio in the arid regions. all through private enterprise and cooperative effort. Today there are nearly eight million acres irrigated and the west stands at the threshold of a mighty development through govern ment irrigation. There are now fifteen million dollars in the United States treasury awaiting expenditure for the construction of great dams and canals in the western states and territories.
 The coming Irrigation congress will be the eleventh convention of that body and will meet in Ogden, Utah, Septem- Der 18th next.
 The intermediate congresses have been held at various points roughout the arid region. The second congress was held at Los Angeles and was at tended by representative from Great Britain, Canada, Australia, India, Rus sia, France. Mexico and Peru.
 The third irrigation congress met at Denver, the fourth at Albuquerque, N. M. and the fifth at Phoenix, Arizona. It is something of a coincidence that the Phoenix congress should have been l the first to declare for the policy oi national irrigation" and that that city Is likely to be the scene of the first great government dam the outcome of the policy and resolutions, rigidly ad- hered to by every succeeding irriga- tion congress, in spite of bitter fights for cession of the arid public lands tc the several states.
 1 The sixth congress was held at Lin coin, Nebraska, the seventh at Chey- enne, Wyoming, the eighth at Missoula Montana. the ninth, the first big con- gress, at Chicago, Illinois. and the tenth at Colorado Springs, Colorado
 The Chicago congress had the effect of bringing the irrigation discussion in- to the east and showing its national as- pect-that any great improvement ir any western section would have re- flex benefit in the eastern part of the country and that the agricultural de- velopment in the west would mean ar increased market for the products o1 eastern manufacturers.
 Then came a. surprisingly strong figh by the irrigation forces in the short ses- sion of the 56th congress. followed bN President Roosevelt's active champion ship of the cause and the passage o | the irrigation law in the following long session, June r, 1902. The early part o l August 1903 saw the contract let fol the first government irrigation work: under this law.

 When Lydia E.

Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking people.
