 For the first time in it's history the mill of the Gold Road Mining and Exploration company is being run to its full capacity.

 Although the mercury is surveying humanity from d high place these days-somewhere in the vicinity of I1O in the shade-it is pretty much of a piker in comparison with the mercury in the thermometers in Phoenix, Yuma and other points in the territory. The hottest known place in the territory last week was Blaisdell. The thermometer there registered 13O and a Southern Pa cific freight crew which took lunch at that place cooked coffee by allow ing it to stand in the sun. Phoenix reported 115 with the atmosphere very humid.-Citizen.
