The Phoenix Slate Quarry.

Arizona is famous for her mining interests. but comparatively few people outside of the territory are aware ot the fact that it is not alone as a pro- ducer of the precious metals that this section of the great southwest is en- titled to distinction. The territory pos sesses vast mining deposits and the slate quarries are rated among the first in the west for the quality of their product. The quantity of the output is, unfortunately in many cases, limited owing to the inaccessible location of the quarries and the difficulties of transportation. One of the best quar- ries in the territory is adjacent tO Phoenix, and among the representative promoters of the industry in this city none is more deserving prominent mention in the anniversary number of The Republican than MT A w. Gregg, the discoverer, and MT. Shirley Christy, the promoter of this. one Of the citys latest interpretations.
 The property operated by the com pany is located within seven miles Of the city limits north Of Phoenix, and covers an area of 15O acres. Until five years ago when discovered by MT. Gregg, it was not known that valuable slate deposits were lying dormapt so near the city and to the enterprise and energy of this company the city owes the development of this one of her contiguous resources. After pros pecting the deposits thoroughly the management decided that the best plan of operation would be to install the necessary machinery and push the work to a productive stage. This plan is being followed out a force of twen- ty-five men being engaged in stripping the surface, so as to get down to the deposits in such a way as to have the machinery operate. The slate .s of superior grade and the supply is ap parently exhaustless. There is no long CT any speculation as to the wealth of the deposits. and active operations will continue In addition to the slate de- posits on the property there is a sixty foot ledge of lime rock that has a com merciaI value to the city. in the manu- facture of cement and building lime. Kilns are erected and production Is al ready under way on this portion of the enterprise
 The product of the company's quar- ries will te equal to that of any de- posit in the west. A superior quality of tiling, stair casing. shingles and everything for which slate of the best grade is used, will be manufactured. The brick and cement portion of the business also gives promise of becOm- ing one of the most important fea- lures O. the enterprise.
 Capitalized for $1O0.00O, the com pany is amply provided with all nec- essary funds to push the work to q stage of production wherein the re- turns promise a handsome profit.

It has been very handsomely fitted up in Spanish cedar and expense seemed to have cut little figure when it came To furnishing the Casino
 But the furnishings alone do not make a saloon attract and retain it's customers.
