J. A. Munchas, well known
mining mining man from WicKen-
burg, spent Tuesday in the city.
He reports Wickenburg moving
along in her even tenor and still
getting ahead in her slow but sure
way. The Orc Grandesis the CEN
ter of the most interest, as there
will be- something doing there in
the next few days.
O. H. Perry has just installed a
new 15-horse-power hoist and is
rushing work on his company's
property. He is opening up fine
body of sulphide ore.
John Witherlay is doing consid-
cradle work on the Arizona Copper
Company's property, and is devel-
oping better showi4 g as work
progresses, and, as it is good to
start with, we expect to see some
thing good there soon.
The Black Rock, Electra, Girl
jalva, and other properties in that
rich section are at work and things
will be doing there shortly. The
Black Rock, Limited, of which Mr..
Munchas is one of the original
owners, is doing nothing just now,
but work may soon be started up
again.
The Sam Powell property and
the White, over on the Hassay-
ampa, are doing nothing at present,
but it is hoped that something may
be doing there soon.
The O'Brien mine is moving
slowly but surely toward the pro-
ducing stage. There is consider
able activity in the immediate Sec
tion of the O'Brien, much of which
is inspired by the bright future Of
that property.
The grading camp under Fore
man Mcdonald, for Grant Broth
ers, is pushing work on the new
railroad, five miles north of Wick
enburg, which is to run west. A
good sized force of men is at work
and the five miles will soon be
completed.
The cyanide plant is working
along as usual, taking out the re-
naming values from the Wicken-
burg dump of the old Vulture tail
ings, this being the fifth time this
dump has been worked.
L. H. Renkert, who has been at
Wickenburg, looking after his min
ing interests, has returned to his
home at Indianapolis, Ind.
H. D. Bradford, who was recently
hurt by an accident at the Ardath
mine is getting along nicely and
will soon be himself again. The
mine is getting along we'll, also.
Messrs. Bennett and Messenger
are doing some work on their
claims out north of the Vulture
mine. They are taking out some
very high grade ore and have a
splendid showing.
Oscar Jennings has encountered
some very rich ore on the old Ellis

we will know that the wheel of

There are many men with money
who want mines. Claims make

and want money. So let us trade.

Santa Maria and Signal
Country
SUN CLOUD is LOOKING FINE
Santa Maria People Want to Have
New County Road Established.
Sultan Is Producer

William Dunlap was in this
week from the Sultan nelghbor-
hood. He has petition, which is
being signed by the leading citi-
IONS of this section, for the estab-
lishment of a county road to the
Santa Maria country. There issa
pretty fair road already in exist
ence and the objects of this petit
tion are to have the road recog-
nized by the county and have an
overseer appointed. This section
of the country is rapidly coming
to the front, and we think the
board would do we'll to recognize
the road and put it in good shape.
Mr.. Dunlap reports the Sultan
mine working about one hundred
men and dropping twenty stamps.
He says that he thinks the Sultan
will soon be one of the leading
mines of the country. And the
Jeanette-Arizona Gold Mines Com
pany, under the the management
of G. O. Carbaugh and j. A. New
man, is working right along devel-
oping fine vein of splendid ore.
P. V. Sorensen, of the Prescott
Gold Mining Company, is doing
some work. Mr.. Sorensen is the
inventor of new dry washer pro-
cess which is a good saver. J. T.
Pendegast is the promoter of the
company and it is likely that the
company will make success. It
has some quartz claims as we'll as
placers.

George Stillman and C. P. Holl-
craft returned this week from the
Bill Williams fork country. Mr..
Hollcraft has recently put UP a
small stamp mill out there and has
made some test runs on some prop
critics. He says that there will be
something doing out there before
long. He says that he has plenty
of water at hand and also plenty
of wood. He has gone to Prescott
to get a steam engine for his mill.
He reports a new mine about to be
opened up. 1t will be called the
Planet Mars. He thinks it has a
great future. Mr.. Stillman left

erty lies near Gilbert postoffice,
and is one of the best showings in
the country.
Why was it that so many hearts
stood still; why did so many voices
speak in accents low and in tones
of sorrow; why was it that the
sound of weeping disturbed the
calm in the village on the banks of
the Hassayampa, which has many
legends of old, on Friday of last
week at 1925? Why was this
awesome feeling present in every
heart in Wickenburg on Friday
afternoon and all day Saturday =?
Why was it all the stores were
closed ? Why did so many tear
stained faces gather at a certain
home and sing songs of sympathy
and hope and render dirges on the
piano? All, why did strong voices
falter, and firm lips culver, and
brave hearts futter, and dry eyes
moisten ? Because a dread visitor
had been there and accompanied
an accomplished and beautiful
young lady, trustful and trusted
friend, loving sister, a dutiful
daughter, to the dim and misty be-
yond. These sympathies and emo
tions, these heart aches and long
ings were not caused by any knowl-
edge of the fact that all must some
day accompany the same messen-
ger on the same cheerless voyage,
but by the deep loss which the
many friends Of Florence Wilson
felt when she was called from our
midst.
Besides the entire population of
Wickenburg, which mourns the loss
of the lovely young lady, she had
legions of friends in Phoenix and
Denver, in both of which cities
she had resided, all of whom are
grieved at her demise. She leaves
a mother and two brothers to
mourn her untimely end. If hu-
man sympathy could avail any
thing their grief would be light
ened, but alas, how weak is hu-
manity in the face of Omnipitence,
whence all must finally expect sur
cease of life's toll, as our friend,
whose last days were full of pain
and anguish. But, we all learn a
lesson of submission to the newt
able from the Christian calmneSS
with which she met the grim reaper,
as we'll as from her short life of
usefulness, in which she made a
friend of all whom she met.
J. A. Munchas says he has his
eye on fine oil prospect some
where in the hills around Wicken-
burg. He says that an oil gusher
is needed there to simplify the fuel
question. Well, we guess that an
oil gusher is needed everywhere,
but one in this section of the coun-
try certainly would be doubly well
come, and if he has the liquid stuff
he will be an oil king yet.

week in Phoenix on legal business.

Stantonite Wants to See
Arizona Advance
MONICA MINE HAS BEEN SOLD
Believes That the Weaver District
Is One of the Greatest in
the Whole Country

STANTON, March 21.-To the Ed
itor of the News-Herald-SIR: In
your paper of the 18th inst. | no.
ticed your article referring to the
mining industry of Arizona, and
the opportunities afforded in the
matter of speculation.
In the beginning let me say, as
miner and an Arizonan, I am
greatly interested in the future
welfare of this country, in the
opening of its vast mineral re-
sources and in the promotion of its
commercial enterprise. The latter,
however, goes hand in hand with
successful mining; therefore the
the future of the country rests
upon its hidden treasure.
The time has passed when great
herds of live stock roamed and
thrived upon the splendid pastures
which every. hill afforded. The
cowboy no longer keeps vigil upon
the desert. The cattle owners have
retired to domestic farming. Con-
sequently when spectators come
here seeking investments they
find only the mining field open as
wide as ever, and offering ust as
good returns as ever in the history
of Arizona. For this reason there
is a food of industry here, and to-
day is just the beginning, The
hills are full of prespectors, and
ONE of them are developing mines
which in the future will help to
make Arizona what it is destined
to be-the greatest mineral pro-
dueer in the West.
AS resident of Weaver mining
district / have had the pleasure of
watching the development of sew
eral promising properties, such as
the Leviathan, which has for years
lain unmolested. But within re-
cent years the hand of industry
has converted this prospect into
mine, with an abundance of good
milling ore. The same may be
said of the Rincon property, and,
in addition to these two valuable
properties, l might mention the
Peacock group and others on Rich
hill. Here mineral of high grade
is in evidence. Several shafts have
been sunk on these properties, but
only to a depth of fifty or 100 feet.
All work, however, has developed
some good ore, and it is only a
question of time and work when
these properties, the Leviathan and
Rincon will take their places
among the great producers of Ari-
zona.
It is reported here that the Mon
lea mine has been purchased by
the Douglas, Lacy Co. This prop
erty is south of Peoples valley and
bids fair to be great producer of
gold. A shaft is down 300 feet,
showing a body of ore of about
three feet in thickness, carrying
high values. This property is sur
rounded by others which, in time,
may also gain in producing valua-
BILE minerals.
The time is not far distant when
all of these mining properties, as

R. L. Brady, Manuel Trujillo
and Adolfo Chretin of Congress
went out to Signal this week to
look at some mining properties in
which they are interested. Mr..
Trujillo is one of the original
owners of the Sun Cloud mine and
Mr.. Brady in interested in the Sun
Cloud extension. Mr.. Chretin went
along to see what he conld learn at
the new camp. They visited the
Kennan camp and found every
thing showing up fine. 1t has i'm
mense ledges of good ore, with
plenty of water close by and fuel
in easy reach. The mill is about
ready to go to work and will be in
operation before the 10Th of April.
This is another sample of the great
possibilities of this rich mineral
belt and what Mr.. Kennan and his
associates are doing there might be
repeated by dozens of others in
dozens of other places. Let the
good work 60 on. Every new camp
