out of California, and the strong
feature of the Blue Seal is it's uni
formity. First lot of these oranges
Just in. The price is fully as at
tractive as the fruit.
1t needs but little advertisement;
it makes friends whenever it is in
troduced. Give it trial.
A clean, fresh stock of staple and
fancy groceries always on hand.

From an Extended Trip
to the West
AMAZINGLY RICH COUNTRY
He VIII Shortly Start East to Ar
range for the Erection
of Two Mills

o. L. Geer. of the Arizona Gold
Company, has returned from his
trip out west. He brought back a
large lot of specimens for the as
sayer, and is highly elated over
appearances at all Of his workings,
and particularly so over the show
ings uncovered at his company's
property at Golden. He says that
they have large quantities OF ship
ping ore there, but does not pro-
pose to ship any until railroad fa-
cilities are nearer.
The doctor stated to News Her
aid reporter that he had great
hopes of the future of that section,
and that his hopes are shared by
all the mining people in that vicin-
ity. He says that number OF
mills will be shipped in as soon as
the new railroad is built. This
ought to be good news for the pro-
moters of the railroad, as well as
for the people. The doctor says
that he will leave in few days
for the East to make complete ar
rangements to put two mills on his
properties as soon as the railroad
comes through. The two proper
ties mentioned are the Harqua
Hala Mining and Milling Company
and the Arizona Gold Company.
DIR. Geer is a mining man that
believes in being ready before he
fires, and is very apt to make q
success of his properties. lie fig
ures that mills for the two mines
which he now intends to operate
soonest can be put in for great
deal less after the new road west
is built, than before, and he is ar
ranging to have the properties we'll
developed, and all preliminary ar
rangements made before installing
mills or reduction works. And,
singularly, he regards having a
good-sized bank account as one of
the necessary preliminaries.

viii Soon Move

While other things are develop
ing, and other deals are being
made, it is not we'll to overlook
the Sayer Gold Mining company's
property. Mr.. Sayer has been
having some trouble with the strike
problem at his Colorado mine, the
Butterfly Terrible. All that is now
settled. His business partner, Mr..
Hearne of Boston, has not been idle,
and has q deal arranged whereby
he can secure the necessary capital
for the promotion of the property
to a successful termination. We
have, from time to time, reviewed
the situation at the company's
camp, and there is little LETT to be
said about the property now.
There have been several men at
work all fall and winter, and a
small force is still at work. The
property improves with develop
ment. The confidence of the men
in charge always remains the same,
and all those conversant with the
mining business feel that there will
soon be q great producing mine

Will Try Their Dry-Washer

Drs. George Leininger and James
Wilson, two mining experts from
Denver; Colorado, have gone out to
the Quartzite vicinity; with a new
dry washer which they are going
to try in that section Of the coun-
try. The machine is power prop
osition, and has been tried in var
ious places before this, and they
are merely trying it here to prove
that it is d big thing for saving
gold from placers. They have gone
to good district to try their ma
chine, aud if it does as we'll there
as it has at other places where it
has been tried, it will be the means
of selling several of the machines.
There is plenty Of gold in that
neck of the woods, and they only
need to prove that they can save it
and then the other fellows will
want the machines which will do
the work.
Their machine is quite a COM
plex-looking affair, though it may
work very simply. It was shipped
here some time ago and laid on the
depot platform for some time. A
great many people wondered what
it was We hope it will be a big
success in the Quartzite country.

The "Dases and irish"

Last evening being the sew
enteenth wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. 7. Hopkins
and Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Bail.
Mrs. Hopkins invited Mr.. and
Mrs. Bail up to a six o'clock
dinner.
In some manner the "Dago
and Irish" ladies got hold of
this and decided this would be
too good an occasion to let pass
so they decided to get busy and
surprise the brides of seventeen
years ago.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the
ladies went upto Mrs. Hopkins
and while some one knocked on
the door, the band commenced
to play. The band, which was
composed of an accordian,
mouth organ, horn and drum,
discoursed some very charming
melodies when Mrs. Hopkins
came to the door. To say she
was surprised expresses it too
mildly, but the ladies finally
regained their composure. The
rest of the evening was spent
in general good time; music,
games, etc. At the close of the
evening Mrs. Hopkins served
very nice refreshments.
While the guests were at
supper the Mandolin Club APP
peared and serenaded the party.
They were repeatedly encored
and treated to supper. The
brides received some very beau
tiful and ornamental presents,
among which were bananas
and beautiful shamrock green
bows.
Very reluctantly the "Dago
and Irish" ladies departed,
after having a fine time. After
the ladies left the "Dago and
Irish" band serenaded their
friends in the different parts of
the city.
