A MILK 0RGANcZATE0N
Formed by the Dairyrnen of the YaI-
 ley Last Night.

There was a meeting last night Of the railkmen Of the valley for the or Sani2ation of an association fer mutual protection and some profit. This is the first organization of the milk in tercsts ever attempted i, this part of the country. There have been under standings about prices. In fact there has always been such an understand ing.
 It was resolved at the meeting last night to advance the price. Of milk, the advance to go into effect on October 1. On and after that date the price of milk will be 6h cents per quart. raise of cents a gallon, to which ID objection will be offered by consumers provided the milk is pure and it is not too much diluted.
 The manner of the distribution of milk was also considered and the use of preservatives was also discussed and condemned by res s1luti0n. Especially Was the use of foImaldehcyde cor Genned and it was the sense of the meeting that it would be better fer the d1irymen of the valley at large if those found using conservatives were Ti%orcusly ly prosecuted or at least eXpCs- ed and driven out of the business. It Was; asserted that few Of the milkmen have ever employed pTeserVatiVas Of any kind.
 \ committee was appointed for the drafting Of bylaws fO~ the government of the association. The next regular meeting of the association will be held on the first Monday of next month There will however, be meeting be fore that to hear the rooort of the committee on bylaws.

 \ trip tc Old Pinal, in PinaI county, this time of year is not usually cOnsid- cred q very pleasant trip. but those Of cur p2rCy who had not travelled the road fer some time were surprised at the ease in which the trip was made. Leaving Mesa in the evening we camp ed at Desert Wells for the night, but were a number of miles on the road when old Sol showed her face the next morning, and by 1 D. m. we drove into the new but growing camp of Superior. located about four miles east of Old Pinal.
 The camp is located about fifty miles q little south of east of Mesa. just be- low where Queen creek cuts through the chain of mountains, in which is located the claims of the company. A nice little valley just below makes an ideal spot for d mining town, through the center of which would run the Queen creek water way. down which trickles a sncH stream of water. The city now boasts of one general mer- cnandise store. owned by Mr. George Lobb. one Of the original locators of the mining property that was bonded by and is being operated by the Superior company: a saloon owned by Tom Kel- ley. and boardinE-house owned by the Superior company and presided ever by Mrs. Innes of Silver King.
 Quite a number of new frame houses have been built recently. and some now are in course Of construction Quite |; number of framed tents are in evidence and more being put up daily. There is a population of about 100 souls there ct present.
 The Superior ccmpany's bond will eX- pire in November next and it is the general opirion that they will secure the property covered by the bond which consists of six claims running parallel to each other across tha ledge The work that the company has done is of a substantial nature. and although but little is known outside of the company and those actually engaged in doing the work in the mines of the value and extent of the mineral. yet enough is let dTcp to indicate that the property is all right And from the present outlook Superior is destined to become one of the coming mining camps of the t-:-i- tory.
 The camp is not without it's romance for on the eve of cur arrival at the camp We were informed that 3n elope- ment had occurred the evening pre- vicus. and that the irate father was in pursuit, and the camp was in q ferVor of expectancy as to the result. But the next morning all of the parties return ed from Florence. where the couple had gone by stage. and where the father overlook them and acted as best man when the ceremony was performed un- iting them one for life. The following night . charivari party surrounded the tent Cf the couple and made the night hideous for q. time, but something to eat and drink soon restored order and a pleasant time was had by the young people.
 Quite a number of Mesa people are at the camp and are doing well. Among them are James Arrowsmith and fam fly, Nictcr Lamb. wife and child. Wal ter Hill. Jessie Purtyman and Peter Masnussen.
