Which means that the way is pretty
 well cleared for the reorganization.
 As stated previously these will prob ably rest upon an increase of the capi- tai stock of the company by about a half million shares, which should mar ket for enough to enable the company to do a great deal more of important development.
 The important development of the last week was made at the Junction where the shaft has again come into ore. The latter was encountered on Thursday and has since been coming to the surface and going into the dump. From the character of the ma terial that has been put there the opin- ion is warranted that the shaft is get ting into an ore body of high import ance. This is expressing it in very conservative manner Those at the property are highly pleased with the situation. The shaft is now down little better than 97O feet. Water con tinues to increase gradually as depth IS made. As yet there has been no ma terial gain. AS has been stated, the situation at the property is highly en- couraging. The next week should, and very likely will, witness some very inn portant findings.

The Weeks Mining News as Reported
 by the Miner

The Commonwealth Mining company is crosscutting to the hanging wall of the Pilgrim mine, at the Dempsey O'Dea camp, at thu 200 level It is expected to find fine body of ore at that point.
 J. F. Withers and William Crouch brought in SIP, 1000 bar of gold bull lion the first of the week from the Gold Road mill, result of seven days run of the cynanide tanks. The mill is at present turning out about Sl00, 900 monthly.
 It is reported that rich body of ore has been encountered in the stope from the tunnel level of the New Jersey mine, near Chloride. T. B. Lamb has force of men at work on the property and will soon make trial shipment of ore to the shelter.
 The Mill of the German-American Mining company is fast being assembl- ed and within two months it will be dropping stamps. At the mine many miners are at work and new ground is being opened up with fatter- ing results in quantity and quality of ore.
 The Blue Ridge Mining company is running it's mill on excellent ore from the Hilty mine. It is reported that a larger savingiin values is being made than at first expected and that for the present it is not intended to install a cynaniding plant. The mine is show ing up wonderful bodies of very rich ore.
 w. w. Clark and Fred Hart have a lease on the Nighthawk and are taking out some of the richest ore ever taken from that property. They have nearly four tons of ore that will run l000 ounces silver and ten ounces gold, ready for shipment to the smelter. The ore is frolu the rich lense, from which a larload of ore was taken in the old days, that ran nearly 1500 ounces silver and twelve ounces gold.
 Over in the Eldorado canyon country the excitement still runs high, the dis covery of rich ore being of daily occur renee. The Wharton properties are be- ing put in shape for active work and it is probable that the main shaft of the Techaticnp mine will be run to a depth of at least 800 feet on the incline. Sandy Harris new property is opening into a wonderful property and the lode has been located for several miles in length. Many of the old mines are be- ing taken over by mining companies and operations of an extensive nature are assured in the near future.

From the Guardian;
 NJ. M. Dodge, of Los Angeles, is in Saiford this week perfecting arrange ments to incorporate mining company of which he and J. E. Carpenter are the leading promoters. The property is situated in the Stanley Butte mining district, and active development will begin at an early date.
 From the Morenci Leader.
 Dick Lakenan was in from his claim on Gold Gulch last Thursday and re- ports his camp as booming. His men are daily taking out rich gold and silver rock and this little mine promises to be a winning proposition. Lakenan and Commodore" H. N. Holway have been washing gold in the gulch and are making good headway, while the water lasts, taking out from Sl0 to S20 in placer gold day.
 From the Clifton Era.
 Edward Robins lawyer of London, England, representing the foreign share holders of the Standard Copper mines, arrived last week on tour of inspec- ton and investigation. He spent one day at the mines and expressed himself as more than well pleased with every thing. The principal object of his visit was to secure a representative on the board for the minority shareholders, and also the re-establishing of an office of the company in London. President Ross was agreeable to both propositions and the matter will be taken up by the board after the next regular meeting.
 For many months past the best of reports have been coming from the Shannon mine, which is in better shape to produce large tonnage than at any other period in it's history. The ore now exposed in the Harrison tunnel, from all accounts, will compare favor ably with any ore found in the district, as to quantity and quality. It has a much higher uniform value than ore heretofore found in the mine Owing !o the Immense tonnage now available m the stopes the management has found IJ advisable to blow in second fur mace, and from now on the company VIII produce an average of 1,500, 900 pounds of copper per month, an in crease over previous records of fifty per cent. As this increased output is mlned and treated at only a slight in- creased cost, it will be seen that the neJ income to the company in the future "lll be double what it has been m the past, and from now on the com pahy will be on ''easy street." and will soon take it's place as one of the big companies of Arizona.

Reports From Many Distr cts in the Territory, Telling of Important Dis ooveries, Active Operation and Or ganization of New Companies

In a recent report to stockholders, Col. w. c. Greene, president of the Greene Consolidated Gold company, an- nounced that the installation of the ma chinery and plant at Santo Domingo had been practically completed, that the machinery in place was working smoothly, and that the pumps were handling the water without difficulty. The washing of gravel was begun No- vember 2S, and since progressed satis- factorily, although the high water caused more or less delay. About l30 men are now employed shoveling in the skips and sluices, and the shovels have been handling on an average F cubic yards per shovel. The first cleanup was completed February 15, and SIP, ,640.20 were realized. A dividend of 20 cents per share was declared on March4 4, and it is understood that an- other payment of a like amount will be made early in May. The total monthly cost of running is between S7000 and SSOOO which will be slightly increas- cd in the near future owing to the cost of wood for steam. The com pany property, comprising 6320 acres, is about thirty miles southwest of the Greene Consolidated Copper company's mines at Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, and thirty miles east of the town of Mazda lena, the railroad Shipping point. A wagon road has been built over the mountains from Magdalena to the mines over which the machinery has been transported. Titles to the above-named properties are in the form of patents from the Mexican government.

 taken out and shipped by E. w. Wells
 to Pueblo, Colo, and the net receipts
 were $500. This carload was taken out

 Switzer and Mir. Radcliff have returned from visit to the Fl Dorado Mining company's group of properties in the Skull valley neighborhood. Messrs. Switzer and Radcliff have sold these properties to an eastern company, re- ceived cash payment, and retained a considerable block of stock in the com pany. The company has force of ten men doing development work. A work ing shaft which is to be sunk 200 feet IS down 100 feet, and drifting from that depth is in progress. Seams of good ore have been encountered and cross vein whice is supposed to connect two main lodges has been cut. The average assay value of ore taken from this prop erty is given at $50 ton. From the Prescott Herald.
 w. c. Reese has left for Los Angeles to purchase machinery for the cyanide plant at McCabe, which will run on the tailings from the Model mill Walter says that the plant will begin opera tions soon.
 The mill at the Sun Dance mine on the Hassayampa is running very sue The capacity of the plant s about seventy-five tons per day. The ore is worked by two separate processes he result of which is to take almost | all of the values of the rock before the inal tailings go over the dump. Re ,ent assays of the tailings show values of from sixty cents to S1. 15 per ton, practically nothing. The ore s first crushed by roller process. Then t is jigged, and the values, mixture ,f lead, zinc, silver and gold, aggrega ing about S22 per ton, thrown into the pins. The residue from the jigs con .ains about S4 to S5 per ton. The tail ngs, then, without being allowed to es- ape from the mill, are run through | stamps and crushed finer, and again | by the vanner process. | Twenty tons are thrown into one, mak- ng high grade concentrate and leav- ng the pulp practically worthless. There is no plating done at all, all the values being caught by the concentra- ton plan.
 From the Prescott Journal. Miner.
 Frank M. Murphy, who is interested | n the construction of the Val Verde shelter, stated that he has been advis- ed of the purchase of all the machinery for the new shelter. c. c. Burger and | 2. E. Finney, who will have active ,harge of the construction work, are to arrive here the latter part | ,f this week.

BEING PURCHASED
Rural Population Is Steadily
Decreasing AS the Wealth
Increases

II seems a paradox. but is neverthe-
less well established as true, says the
Springfield Republican, that in certain
lof the best farming regions of the
United states great and abounding ag-
ricultural prosperity has resulted in de-
creased rural population. A no less
striking than surprising Illustration
OF this is given in a recent State CEN
sus report OF Iowa. which is reported
to show a falling off of per cent. in
the population of that great and pros
porous state since the general census
of 1900. OF course such a result was
mot acceptable to 1owas pride, and it
was not readily accepted. Close in
quiry. however. is reported not only TO
confirm the general correctness of the
new count but to show a sufficient rea-
son for its disappointing result.
The explanation offered Is that it is
an due to the land hunger Of the pros
porous Iowa farmer Having money
ahead and well knowing that good farm
land in the Mississippi Valley is one Of
the safest investments. he has been
buying in the adjoining farms Of his
less fore-handed neighbors to such an
extent, the reports say, that vacant
farmhouses dot every township in the
StaO. Many Of these vacant farm
houses may again be occupied by the
sons and sons-in-law of the purchaser;
some Of them viii be abandoned and
the newly acquired lands consolidated
into larger farms And IL Iowa follows
the course of development that has
been going ON for many years the mag
nihcent farming regions of Central IL
linois. the consolidated farms viii be
leased in tracts of so TO 800 acres. or
more, TO thrifty and prosperous tenant
farmers
The process as it has gone in Illinois
for "a number Of years Is that the
weather. land owner buys out the forty
and eighty acre farms of his neighbors,
lille drains and otherwise improves
them. often renting the same land or
larger tracts to the vendors, who gem
erall made more money as tenants than
they had done as owners. The tenant
farmers of Central Illinois put their
capital into the best of farm imple-
ments and machinery and livestock
Their prosperity Is seen In their COM
Portable and well furnished houses, the
well kept vehicles and horses with
which their families drive to church
and to country gatherings. In Central
Illinois just now the tendency is TO
larger farms, the tenant generally de-
string to increase his area and the land
lord regulating the quantity of land
he will lease by the proved capacity
and success Of each tenant For its best
farm lands Iowa appears to be ap-
preaching the same system.
