highly mineralized This property was incorporated last summer by capital ists of Marquette and Traverse City, Michigan. and is under the manage ment of MT. Withey. also of Marquette. Mckay is the mine foreman, in charge of a considerable fierce of good miners.
 They are here to stay. The ore is of
 very high grade in copper with sat isfactory per cent of gold in it. MT.
 Fleming. an expert. well known in California, pronounces it an excepticn- ally promising property. Last summer the stock was put on the market at the common, first selling price: later advanced 30 per cent. and in December last 60 per cent. more. So soon as suf- fcient is scid for years development no more will be offered for a while

 Of the Gold Hill region I wish to say
 that which has never yet been said. Many years ago an adventurer named Edwards began work on a discovery up there which has since borne his name. In a few years by the crudest arastra process he became a rich man. About ten years ago he died, leaving to his heir. MT. Hewins, considerable real 1 estate in Phoenix and how much money is not known. Tn time that mine pess-
 ed to a millionaire. by the name of Clark, who patented 1t, and placing a
 bank vault door on it has left it as a
 bank deposit or as a policy of life in-
 surance to fall as a sure asset to his heirs. The same can be said of the rich gold claim of Col. Dravo, in charge of the chief commissary at Governors
 Island. Many years ago. when a lieu
 tenantat at Fort McDowell. he located
 that claim, and one of his sergeants
 Marcel Dug; s, kept charge of i. until the iatter's death; new it is tempor-
 arily in my charge The sum which
 Col Dravo has paid Marcel Dugas for
 his custody of, and annual work there on is about the same as a premium
 on life insurance policy of $50, GOO Col. Dravo is wise to hold onto his military commission and onto that claim, for he has had assays made on it as fast as Marcel developed new ore and he is thus assured that he has in this a proposition for his heirs
 as sure as bank deposit. Replying
 to my notification of Marcel's death l Col. Dravo says of Marcel; He was | far more to me than an emplcye; he was the sure and valuable friend l had needed to care for my interests | there. l mourn his death and will miss
 his regular reports with regret I can i not express. He was a good, true and | faithful friend to me-"

and that can be corduroyed by brush cut from the roadside in a few min- utes.s
 From Houck's station to the Phoenix mine there are five miles of good, hard road and no difficulty to confront the freighter except a few short slopes which, however are never considered in their estimates of hauling. From the Phoenix mine to the head of the creek the road is yet to be made,
 though for heavy freighting it is liable | to need more or less repair after each cloud burst This part of the road can
 be made secure at comparatively small
 expense. The road from Houck's sta | tion to the Gold Hill regiCn is much
 of it's length on hard, smooth level l mesa but the farther part of it will require some attention, but no consid- erable expense. In the many estimates which have been made with, reference | to the developing of the many rich
 ore bodies of that district, road making
 has been set down as inconsiderable.
 The roadways from the Mormon Girl" Copper Top and Ben Hur to the
 main road are not worthy of special attention they are short, and over
 good, hard ground with no consider | able grades thereon.
 ] When it is recalled that of such
 mines as the Bsbee, United Verde and
 those about Tombstone. the prelimin-
 ary road making to shipping points ] required thousands and thousands of
 dollars and the roadways from their
 mills to the main road other thousands.
 before machinery or supplies could be ! got in, it is a strange thing that Phoe-
 nix business men and the board of | trade of your city have not made spe-
 cial mention of that matter to ca9i- | talists coming in, and inquiring after
 mining investments. For most mining
 men inquiring into the conditions of
 any district or of any part thereof, the first natural query is of the main and
 natural roads.
 If they are not specially informed
 that there is no road expense in this
 district they will offset against the
 merits of any mine therein, the usual very considerable expense of that sort, and thus forego an investigation to
 their loss and ours. First assure these
 men that road making in this district
 is not at all embarrassing, then the
 way is open to them to inquire into | the volume and grade of any particular | ore DOuy they may nave under COnSlQ- eration.
 I will now make some mention of the present condition of the leading properties here, simply as a matter of
 news to mining men desiring to keep posted on the changes of the past year.
 | The Copper Top owned by Samuel i M. and Chas. N. Taylor. of Tempe. ' and now bonded to James Marian, has | been developed to a considerable ex- | tent by MT. Marian. This mine is a | copper proposition with a large per cent of gold therein. It is a mine
 holding out nicely, both in volume and
 in grade.
 Now as to water and fuel. We must | confess that the creek can furnish wa ter to only a limited number of mills

The Nashville Reunion.

The Reunion Committee sends the

arrangements are perfected for enter

The Camps of Veterans, the Sons of
Veterans, and three Chapters of the
Daughters of the Confederacy are

organizations of Nashville to furnish
an entertainment as nearly faultless as
possible.
The fact that these conventions had
become so expensive to cities enter
tanning entertaining so deferred ac-
tion that it was left for Nashville to
become host again sooner than was ex-
pected But the capital of Volunteer
State, aided by adjacent communities,
is ready. All Of the people are in hear

Veterans everywhere, is extended
without misgiving in any particular
Arrangements are far better than evel
before for Veterans to meet in theil

The only variation from former rule
of entertainment is that of of giving

action will be approved by every loya
beautiful woman who oomes to d

SHELTON B. KEEFAUvER
AttOrney-General Succumbed to Injuries
Received in a Fan.

Bristol, Tenn, May 90. Hon. Shell
ton B. Keefauver died at the new Ho.
tel Tip Top here today at 1920 a. m.
He had been unconscious ever since he
fell down a stairway in the hotel last
Thursday night, The attending ply
sicians had entertained little or no
hope for his recovery from the outset.
Mr.. Keefauver was 3S years of age.
He was a native of Washington county,
Tennessee, having been born in the
Boones Creek neighborhood. He was
educated at Milligan college, near
johnson City, and afterwards read law
a. Ashevile, N. G. In 1889 he began
the practice Of law at Jonesboro, and
following the death of Capt. l. L.
Reeves became partner Of Mr.. L. j.
Baxter in the practice of law. About
the year 1898 he married Miss Ada
Crookshanks, daughter of the late
William Crookshanks, a prosperous
merchant aud farmer of Washington
county. His wife and one little daugh-
ter survive.
In the spring of 1902 Mr.. Keefauver
announced his candidacy for the attor-
ney-generalship in the first judicial
circuit. When the convention met at
Jonesboro there was split. and one
faction nominated Mr.. Keefauver for
atiorney-gen while the other nom
mated Hon. Edward e. Butler, the
present . internal revenue collector.
Mr.. Keefauver toured the circuit, and
his able speech making readily drew to
him strong support in every county.
The result was that he was elected by
a handsome majority, despite the great
popularity of his opponent.
Mr.. Keefauver had been the attorney
in the First circuit since August, 1909.
His remains will be taken to Jones'
boro tomorrow morning and thefun err
al will take place there Wednesday af-
ternoon.
The governor, it is understood, vii !
appoint some one to serve as attorney
general until the August election, when
it is expected an an election will be
held to FIJI the position until the end ci
the risht-year term.

A MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS.
Governor TaylOr'S Lecture Drew Out q
Brilliant Audience.

The lecture of Governor Bob Taylor
at the Grand opera house last night
under the auspices Of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, was
gratifying success in every particular.
The stage was tastefully decorated
for the the occasion with roses and
Confederate battle flags and furnished
the famed lecturer with a setting of
color and beauty which was evidenced
in the thread of his lecture and doubt
less added new inspiration to his ell
oquent periods.
The audience was distinguished for
culture, refneme mt and social position
and embraced representatives OF the
very flower of the manhood and wom-
anhood of Shreveport. 1t was an audi.
euce Of which even Tennessee's distln-
guished Ex-Governor had reason to
feel proud, and that he appreciated the
honor done him is evidenced by the
