THE CRIPPLE CREEK OF the
SOUTHWEST
Here There's Something DOM in the
Good Old Summer Time in
the Mines

Iylng, 10 say GIIe lo@SV' "A 0''N
siasm seems to have sprung up.
from where no one can tell, and
impregnates the very air we breathe
No-when we stop to consider. we
can see what causes this. In the
first place we see individual efforts
of the prospeetor who is the layer
of the corner stones which mean
wealth from mining. The many
properties which have not felt the
edge of the drillers' steel for months
are now awakened by the force OF
dynamite. Probably the most i'm
portant factor in bringing about
this nnusnal activity is the new
smelter. The fact of the smelter
being put up and in complete work
ing order and the daily receipt OF
ores on its dump does more to Gre
ate a widespread interest than thou
sands of mining prospectus or col
nms of newspaper noteriety. The
people of this district are now see
ing what they have been looking
for-results, and results that will
mean dollars to every business man
and workingman in this district.
But you must not forget that in
union there is strength. Remem-
her that FIVE men in united effort
can do more than seven at differ
ent times. You have called for q
smelter. Here it is. Join the al
ready large number who are bring
ing in ore and do your share. Be-
sides the many smaller properties
which will furnish the smelter with
ore, the Electra is one of the larg-
est to push the new smelter to a
profitable basis. During the past
six weeks more supplies have left
Wiekenburg for mines in the vicin-
ity than during any two months CT
the. camps existence. Capital,
eastern and western, is beginning
to be curious as to the result of our
awakening, if such it might be
called, and many of the best prop
critics in the district have been Wis
tied in the past two months by
prospective purchasers. Eastern
capital is just beginning to realize
that under these rugged mountains
and arid plains lies more wealth
than Solomon ever dreamed of.
And that is not all; some pretty
large deals have been put through
and several are pending, of which
the uninformed person has little
conception.
"There is time for "hot air"
and a time for real earnest offort.
and this is one of the times for
real earnest effort. The News-Her-
aid is working tooth and nail for
the best promotion of the success
of the Wickenburg district, and we
fiatter ourselves in saying that we
have accomplished some little good.
But throughout our labors it really
has been only selfish motive that
has prompted US to work when it
seemed at times that the power had
been turned of and the machinery
slowing up. But as we are now on
the right track, as it were, we are
loading in the coal and -steaming
ahead as never before.
But listen, for goodness sake
don't knock your own district, for
you are at the same time knocking
your own prospective future. If a
man comes into town tell him this
this is the greatest camp on earth.
Tell him it is Just little better
than the camp he just left, and
that it it is getting better every
day. After you have said that a
few times you vssi find that you
never did realize before what a
great oamp this is Ask every
one who comes into your place of
hpsin esq if he is furnishing ore for
