 ARIZONA PROSPECTS
PREDICTS GREAT MINING ACTIN ITY FOR THE TERRITORY
 THIS YEAR.
States That Work Win Shortly Be Re sumed on Arizona & California Road Near Present Terminus at Salome- Denies Purchase of a Mihe.

'I look for great mining activity ia Yavapi county and the territory in general" said Frank M. Murphy. pres ident of the Santa Fe, Prescott 6 Phoenix road and Development Com psny of America. when asked for an opinion. says the Prescott Herald.
 Indeed. l look for more develop ment of the mineral resources than there has been al any time since came to the territory. Eeastern cap ital is working hand in hand with the mine owners to bring their properties to the producing stage"
 While in New York Mir Murphy learned a number of things of interest among others that the eastern people are gradually getting away from their old notion that Arizona is the home of renegades. but that il is on the other hand a country susceptible of great development and possibilities.
 Mir. Murphy states that work will be resumed shortly on the construction of the Arizona & California railroad from Salome to the Colorado river. A force of men will be put to work blast ing and removing rock about five miles east of Salome.
 Tbe exact point at which the road will cross the Colorado is a matter yet to be determined. While soundings werS being made short time ago the river rose, washing away the barges of the engineers and stopping further work until the river recedes.
 The road will be extended on from the river tc the Needles or there eboUs. All of the material for the line on the other side will be taken into California over the Arizona end of the fine.
 Were the Arizona & California road constructed at this time il would be a great convenience to the Southern Pacific. which may have to abandon part of it's road in southern California as a result of the Salton sea, which is now filling. overflowinE it's tracks.
 Reports from the south are that the Southern Pacific will have 10 move its freight in and out of California over the Santa Fe line through the Need les. Ash Fork.
