Mizpah. Of the one hundred apo twelve leases twenty-five paid well and five or six made their holders ricb Nearly all made wages, not more than half a dozen failing to pay expenses, The majority of the leasers started work about the 1st of June. and the leases expired December 31. 1901 so that the period of active operations was about seven months. There were about eight hundred men at work al the time the leases expired.
 The most productive lease was that of Lynch & O'Meara This lease was secured by them in June. by purchase, the price paid being 5000. The first ore struck on this lease, which was No. A, was five feet in width, eighty feet in depth and sixty feet in length, and ran from $150 to $500 a ton. A winze on the 150-foot level opened up an ore shoot from sixteen to eighteen feet wide that averaged $250 a ton On the 200-foot level body of ore six feet wide and ninety feet long av- eraged $500 a ton. This lease pre- duced 3.500 tons of ore of an average value of more than s100. After the expiration of the leases Lynch & O'Meara took contract to sink the Mizpah shaft, and in seven months they took out under this contract about 1000 tons averaging about the same as that taken out under the lease; so that in little over a year these young men made considerably more than half million dollars.-Sap C.

HOW FORTUNES WERE MADE AT

During the fall of 1900 the news reached the outside world that a rich strike had been made at Tonopah, and during the winter a number of men came into the camp from Carson. Re no and other points. Butler and his associates decided to let leases on their property. and during the winter and spring one hundred and twelve leases were given to the new corners. Henry c. Cutting. of Reno, took the first lease on theMizpah ledge, in Jan uary, 1901, and began operations in March. just below the present working shaft. All leases were oral. and the owners received twenty-five per cent sf the gross output Leases were let on the Burro, the Valley View and the

standing the threats made against him by the proprietors of the White. house saloon which he exposed a few weeks ago as a den of iniquity where debauchery of an intolerable character was being carried on to the disgrace of Benson. The editor was to be uncer- emoniously kicked out of town if he ever dared to mention the name of one Of the rounders connected with the Whitehouse. but the bluff did not go and the Press scored the gang in its next issue with increased vigor. The natural result followed this commenda- bIe and vigorous policy of the news paper; the Whitehouse has been re formed and has a new proprietor, while Editor Shardin is still doing business at the old stand and more highly respected than ever before. When a newspaper takes a bold stand against any evil which becomes noto- riously outside the bounds of decency it may always depend on a loyal sup port of the community. Communi- ties. like individuals, sometimes be- come indifferent as to their moral condition. but when public attention is aroused to disgraceful conditions the result is always the same: those who stand for the right and against the wrong always win the victory. Wrong can not prevail over the right when the latter has a fearless and de- termined champion.
 Three of the prominent democrats of Arizona were in Benson a few days ago and made tour of Cochise coun- ty. No one here was able to learn the nature of the business which called this distinguished democratic trio to- gether here. The party consisted Of Hon. Mark Smith, of Tucson: Hon Frank Cox. of Phoenix; and Hon. B. A. Packard, of this county If the coming together of these gentlemen has any political significance it would leave some doubt in the public mind as to where the other fellows were to get of. They went from here to Bisbee and Douglas While here they met Hon. Steve Roemer, but that gentle man is seemingly in ignorance of the purpose of the presence of the polit- ical bunch in Benson.

LOOKS GOOD
 AT BENSON
TOWN HAS SPLENDID PROSPECTS
 AHEAD, CITIZENS JU6ilANT
The Industrial School is expected to Be Furnished and Ready for Open ing in September.

Benson, May 21.-Although the mer. chants. and other business men at Benson are just now complaining of a falling of in business, as compared with that enjoyed by them during the winter and spring, still there is a gen. eral feeling of confidence in the town and every body predicts for it a great Ter growth during the next twelve months than in any other year of its history and the residents of the place are feeling jubilant over the assur- ances that the place is to assume greater prominence as a commercial center. Many improvements are al. ready noticeable, three new resi-. dences having been contracted last weex on which work has already started.
 What Benson looks forward to most for additional trade is the completion of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad which is now being pushed with a force estimated at five hundred men, grading all along the line from Mesa in Maricopa county to beyond Flor. ence. This line of railroad will be the means of bringing into prominence some very rich mineral country which has remained practically idle hereto fore because of it's isolation and the heavy expense of reaching railroad transportation. All the way up from Mammoth to Benson, on either side of the San Pedro river there are many splendid gold, silver, copper and lead prospects. Some have been found .o be rich enough to justify shipping ore even at the expense of a haul of many miles over the toughest kind of wagon roads; shipments, however, have only been occasional as owners of pros. poets have preferred to hold their claims and await the coming of better shipping facilities and what ore was shipped was for the purpose of keep ing the cabin supplied with beans and bacon during the season of annual as- sessment work. When the new rail. road is completed there will be great activity in mineral development all along the route traversed by it, from Florence to Benson and the latter place will be the source of supplies for several important camps
 Work is progressing on the new GUS tom smelter being built at Benson; ten or twelve men being employed setting the machinery which is all on the ground. This enterprise is being un- dertaken by an eastern company. It is a purely custom proposition and the smelter men are not the owners of any mines in the vicinity. but after care ful examination of the mineral couu. try tributary to Benson because of its splendid railroad facilities, decided that a smelter would be a nice busi- ness at this point. Benson can be reached by two lines of railroad from the state of Sonora, Mexico. The Southern Pacific goes into Mexico at Nogales, the Fl Paso & Southwestern
