LOCAL MINES AND MINING.
AMPLE CAPITAL FOR PoLAR1s.

A deal was consummated in Clifton last week, whereby the International Mining company of Leadville, Colo rado, is to finance a bond sale for the Polaris Mining company of this dis triCt for S1, 100000 A considerable amount of money has already been put up, and more will follow faster than it can be used. While the con- trol of the company passes to the Colorado people, there will be no change in the local management, which is we'll; because the develop ment work is now in the hands of a competent man, L. F. Sweeting, who is familiar with the property. MT. Sweating will at once proceed to re- construct the wagon road up the canyon, which was damaged by the heavy rains of last winter, after which he will have the old workings of the mine cleaned out, and the property put in condition for active operation, which will be commenced about October 1st. It is MT. Sweet ing's intention to commence with twenty-five or thirty men, and work will be continued at three different points. The Polaris company has done a considerable amount of work during the past two or three years, but the CompanyS property IS one Ot magnitude and will require the ex- penditure of a large sum of money in order to put it in shape as a per manent producer. The contract with the International Mining com pany calls for S75,000 within three years, which is ample for both deyel- opment purposes and the erection of suitable plant for the reduction of the ores. Development work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and when it has been finally determined that there is a sufficient amount of ore in sight to justify it, a plant will be ordered and erected. The placing of the Polaris company on a solid footing, and the resumption of work at the mines, means much for that section of the district, and doubtless will encourage other companies to proceed with development work. The Polaris company own about sixty claims, nearly all of which show strong and well mineralized veins. There is no doubt in the minds of mining men who have in- vestigated the property as to the bright future which now awaits the company. The ERA extends con- graduation to shareholders, and also to MT. Sweating, who has been sue cessful in overcoming many difficult ties, and putting his company on a sound financial basis.

William H. Harrison, who con- structed the steel buildings for the Shannon Copper company about three years and one-half ago, ar rived in Clifton Monday night from California on a business and pleasure trip. During the past three years he has been located at Cerro de Pasco, where he constructed eighty-five miles of railroad for a big copper mining company, which has expended millions of dollars developing copper mines and building shelter plants. He informs the ERA that that cOun- try is great copper region and in the course of few years it will make a wonderful showing in production of the yellow metal. MT. Harrison was greatly surprised at the many inn provements made in the Clifton Morenci district during his absence and expressed his opinion that this district had a wonderful future. He will only be here few days, after which he will probably return to Cerro de Pasco on d business tour.

Hon. Wiley E. Jones, one of the most prominent attorneys of the Gila valley, spent few days in Cliff ton this week on legal business. MT. Jones reports the valley in most excellent condition, never better. He says that from five to seven crops of hay will be harvested this year, and that all other crops are much better than usual. MT. Jones was ques- toned in regard to tine boom which he is now receiving from many papers as possible candidate for congress on the democratic ticket, and in re- ply said that it was yet too early to consider such matters. However, if it be the wish of the party that he should make the race, no doubt he would accept the responsibility and make campaign such as the terri tory has not seen in many years.

Jim Parks was in town for a couple of days last week. Like other peO- pie Jim has been having troubles of his own. He was recently fined Sl5 by the justice of the peace of Solo knoxville, who happens to be his father. Jim is of the opinion that he ought not to have been fined, and probably would not have been, had he not been related to the judge. He afterwards intimated to the judge that he thought it would be q good idea to remit the fine. but the fudge would not stand for it. Just before he left SOlomOnville he had q little trouble with Prof. Price, against whom he had d collection of $50 sent down from Clifton. The money was not paid and somehow there was mix up over it in which the professor got the worst of it. hence Jim expected to have to pay another fine upon his return to the county seat. It seems that the free and easy days of the county seat. when the boys could get out and have a little run with each other without being annoyed by the justice of the peace, have passed away. John w. Parks won't stand for fool- ishneSs, even from his own boys.
