4 GOOD DEMAND
 FOR THE BONANZAS
MARKS THE OPENING OF THE WEEKS TRADING IN THE
 CITY.
-oenn-Arizona in Much Fsvor-Work Going Along at the Shaft in Highly Encouraging Manner Junction Stands Firm.

Regardless of the fact that c. & A. sold ex-diy. today, there was consider able demand for the same as well as the balance of the list of the Bonanza Circle stocks
 Junction is the firmest stock on the board, and all stock that had been of tered to Bisbee at S70 was taken care of. and We are still in the market for more of it at that price.
 Denn-Arizona continues to be a fla vOrite among the traders and hard to get at SIPS to s7.5O, and then only in small blocks. Duluth and other east .ern people have commenced to realize that Denn is a pretty good thing to get. At the property they will push development, and we would not be sur prised to see this shaft down to the 200 by the first of July No time is being lost at this place. but plenty oi mining is being done.
 There has been some talk regard ing the c. & P. issuing a block of theiI present stock to the original holders This we can not confirm at the pres ent. Outside of these two stocks tht market remains about the same.

The colonel is so well pleased with the country, and with his phenomenal run of good luck, that he will close out his business interests here shortly and locate at Bullflog' from which point he will radlate III autos or flying machines to his var ious mines in that section

Mickey Hogan on Easy Street.

Colonel Mickey Hogan arrived this week direct from Goldfields. Bull frog and Las Vegas, where he spent some time Investigating his mining in terests in those camps. Early last winter he grub-staked the Iron-Gall Kid, Big Nose Kid and Pecos Kid. and started them for Nevada on a pros pecting trip. On the way out the boys got into a row over a poker game, which terminated in their becoming enemies. On arriving at TOnopah they divided the grub into three equal parts, and each hit the trail for him. self. The Iron-Gall Kid located a claim at GOldfields which is the won der Of that section. Big Nose got to -ullfrog in time to secure an exten- sion of the January-Jones claim, while the Pecos Kid drifted further south and discovered a new camp near Las Vegas which now promises to rival Goldfields. Mickey heard nothing from the boys until April 1st, when, strange to say, he received a letter from each of them. conveying the in formation above stated. He at once left Clifton and arriving at Las Vegas on construction train, he was met by the PecOs rid with an auto, and taken from there to the mines. about sixteen miles distant He found number of men employed at the mine. from which ore is now being shipped averaging $500 to the ton, which pays a handsome profit over operating ex- penses. After spending a few days with the Pecos Kid he fought an auto. and made the trip to Bullfrog in g hours. which is considered slow time, but the road Is now badly cut up with heavy freight wagons. He found that Big Nose had a sale on for sum wnIch can be written only with six figures. but as the property was being opened up under the leasing system and making money the colonel decid- ed not to part with his interest, and advised Big Nose tC hold on. He spent a few days there and then visit ed Goldfield where he found the Iron Gan Kid busy with string of teams hauling ore to the railroad, which is so valuable that every load is accom- panied by an armed guard.

The next annual meeting of the American mining congress will be held in Fl Paso next November. when a large crowd of mining men from all parts of the American con tinent will be in attendance. Private letters from Fl Paso to mining men in this section state that Fl Paso is now actively engaged in getting ready for the entertainment of the guests of the southwest metropolis and that more than likely an excursion will be run for the benefit Of the mining en- gineers, many of whom have never been to the southwest before. to this section, that they may see what the big copper and other mining compa- nies are doing in Arizona.
 ais congress is composed of the leading mining engineers and mining men. not promoters. of the American continent and il is well worth the eff fort of any camp to place its resources and advantages before these men when the congress meets. In order to give the southwest a chance to show what is really in this section. when Fl Paso invited the congress to that city, as the most likely place in the southwest, the invitation was readily accepted and the congress will be held there next November.
 This will give the citizens of Doug las, who are interested in the up- building of the city. a chance to get together and cooperate with Ei Paso in securing the most possible good for this section from the coming con gross.

Major General Corbin tells an anus

with regular army officers near Gen.

arose and saluted. but the volunteer
lieutenant sat still.

: Luxury for Statesmen
Especial Correspondence

The annual housekeeping at the
United States capitol has been unusu-
ally thorough this year, and it is not
too much to say that the great white
domed building at Washington is just
now a little cleaner and more attract
i've than it has been at any previous
time in history. The legislative head
quarters is more modern too, for
many improvements have been made
In the big structure since the national
lawmakers went home last spring.
Few persons, not excepting the sem
ators and representatives themselves,
have any conception of what a her
culean task it is to put the capitol in
apple-pie order for session of con-
greSS- The huge building has an area
OF more than three and a half acres.
and inasmuch as it is three stories in
height there is an aggregate of more
than ten acres of floors to be scrubbed.
There are 43O separate rooms the walls
of which have to be cleaned and the
woodwork touched up, to say nothing
of the renovation of carpets and up
holStered furniture, and twenty-eight
apartments-all committee rooms of
good siZe-have been completely
transformed, the work embracing the
redecoration of walls and ceiling and
refurnishing with new carpets and
new mahogany furniture.
