English Language in Antwerp.

~~~>>
Nearly one-half of the shipping traf-
DC to and from Antwerp Is carried on
under the British and American flags.
and this has made Antwerp almost an
English-speaking port. Free night
schools for exclusive classes in Eng.
lish, organized by the city authori-
ties, are attended by thousands OF
pupils, while special attention Is paid
to the study Of English in all the
grades of the day schools, public as
well as private. This desire to pop.
ularize the English language Is not
confined to Belgium, but has extended
to Germany as well, where schools OF
instruction have already been estab
lished at Munich and Nuremberg by
the German government.

A weak stomach and it's resulting ills are not natural. With proper care and the use of Mi-o-n1 stomach tab lets. the very worst case of indigestion or stomach trouble can be completely cured.
 It is a sin to deprive oneself of en- joyment in life and become burden to others through indigestion
 The backaches. headaches. distress after eating. loss of appetite. gulping up of undigested food and gases are not natural. Mi-o-na stomach tablets used for a few days before meals will so strengthen the digestive organs that you can eat anything you want without fear of distress or resulting sickness.
 The directions for taking Mi-o-na emphasizes the difference between this remedy and the ordinary medicine that is given for indigestion Mi-o-na IS to be used before meals. strengthening the digestive system for the food which ! is to be eaten while the ordinary reme- dy digests the food without strength ening the stomach

QUESTIONS OF TODAY
 FOR PHOENIX PEOPLE
Welcome to Fair Visitors and Their
 Proper Entertainment.

There are two things in connection with the territorial far that the peo- pie of Phoenix should take up immedi- ately and settle one is whether or not it would be wise for the city. par ticuIarly the business men. to make any kind of a demonstration in recog- milton of the event and in honor of the visitors. The other is plan to assure visitors that they can get ample en- tertainment when they get here. In respect of the latter there is no choice. Something must be done The people are coming in scores this year where they only came in dozens last year and Phoenix will be unable to entertain them unless some special preparations are made, but that it will be done there can be no doubt, for Phoenix has never | yet fallen down in an emergency of | this kind.
 l Just what should be done, no one | has yet seen fit to suggest the matter having been allowed to rest quietly un til the board of trade or some other body took action. But the time is now fast slipping away and only a month remains until fair time. Last year the matter was handled very nicely through the board of trade establish Ing Tree rental agency lHOuSl lti' accommodations were none too grea then This year the same or some
 better plan, if any can be devised
 should be adopted and that at once
 It takes time to organize and get . system established and there is nl
 time to lose.
 The statement that an immens'
 crowd is coming to the fair. such ;
 crowd as Phoenix never saw before
 is not idle talk, merely for advertising
 purposes. but is based on the universa
 report brought back by those who hav
 travelled oyer the territory in recen
 weeks And that is what both PhOeni-
 and the fair management wants. Tn
 latter is doing it's best to give a bij
 show and attract a big crowd. Ther are 249 postoffices in Arizona off tn . line of any railroad and a half shee , poster is being sent out to each on of them Posters will also be sent (
 the railroad agent of every station
Arizona republican., 1906-10-08

and the larger cities of the territory will be billed by an advertising mao representing the fair. It may therefors be accepted as a fact that the crowd will be here and it is up to Phoenix to take care of it.
 Regarding the other matter, that of a public demonstration of some kind. it has been suggested that the busi- ness streets should be liberally decor ated with bunting. flags, etc, during fair week and that on the opening day there should be a parade of business floats or some other public function to signalize the event. It need not be q whole week of carnival but one day might be set apart for festivity of this sort. There are many arguments for and some against such a project and this is intended merely IS suggestion to get the people to thinking about it.. If anything is undertaken it should be entered upon at once that there may be time enough for a creditable dis play.

NEW GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY TN NEVADA

Surveys were made last summer by
Messrs. r. III. Chapman and b. ID. Stew
art Of the United States geological sur
vey for a Topographic map of the Nevada
desert region. The Office computations
and the drafting are finished. and the
map is now in the hands of the en-
gravers. The area represented covers
about $500 square miles, and includes
the mining camps of Goldheld and Bull
frog and the territory that lies between
them-Kawich, Gold Crater. Quartz
Mountain, the Old Horn Silver mine.
Cane Springs, and Forty Mile canon.
The map shows also the location of the
Chloride Cliff and Keane Wonder prop
critics, the district about Lees camp, the
Grapevine range and the Oak springs
region, and a portion of Death valley.
The northwest corner of the area Is near
Lone mountain, the northeast corner Is
near the old town Of Reveille, the south
east corner is near the Johnny mine. and
the southwest corner is at the northern
end of the Panamint valley. One feature
of the map that will be hailed with JOY
by all travellers in this desert region is
the location of springs and water holes,
with the roads n trails that connect
them. The map will be printed on a
scale approximately 1 inch to 4 miles,
with a contour interval of 100 feet. An
endeavor will be made to have this map
engraved and ready for distribution In
the late spring. A report on the geology
of this area will soon follow.

~TRANsvAAL CAMP

During the past week interest mas
been divided between the immediate
vicinity of the strike and around the
Eastern Contact about a mile north.
The leasers on the Transvaal and adj
joining claims are well pleased with
showings thus far. Although little
work has been lone several have been
successful in locating the pay chutes.
Yeoman and Danielson, who are leas-
ing on the Remittance claim about 500
feet north from the strike. have found
exceedingly good paintings and are con-
fdent that a little more work will put
them in shipping ore.
Raymond and Southworth, leasers on
the north end of the Transvaal, o
$50 feet from the strike have fair pros
poets and will start sinking.
On the south, ]. p. Branley has To-
Gated gold in a trench on the west side
of the hill. Mr.. Branley thinks a little
more work will make him a good GUS
toner of the Clark road when it reaches
Beatty.
Mr.. Gorrill, leaser on the Congo, has
lone a great deal of systematic trench
ing and has found gold in several places.
Mr. Probasco has two men working ON
the strike. sinking. They are down
about seven feet.
The Eastern Contact company have
let a contract to sink 40 feet. This part
of the district is fast coming to the
front.
There have been several strikes made
north of the Eastern Contact this week.
Among them is one by f. Schindel of
Beatty. Mr.. Schindel is interested with
Messrs. Rooney and Worth. The ore
was uncovered while doing the location
work and bids fair to be of no little i'm
portance. The claims are four in num-
Der and are known as the Golden Horse
shoe. They are situated about one mile
north of the Eastern Contact.
p. Mullins, who owns the Capota
group, one-half mile north of the East
ern Contact, reports good paintings on
his ground.
Another promising group is known as
the Bell View. 1t joins the Golden
Horseshoe and is owned by Mr.. Mitchell
and associates of Rhyolite.
Messrs. Burt, Hurd & Hitchcock, who
OWL some very promising ground in the
district here, started work on their
North Star group. This is an excellent
piece of property and its location, about
500 feet westerly from the Transvaal
proves it's worth. They get good PAN
nings in the gulch below them but have
not located its source.-Rhyolite Miner.

VERBS COPPER

That the new purchasers of the
Douglas group of mines in the Yerring-
ton district have every reason to he
jubilant over their acquisition is evil
denced by the nature of the assays that
they nave received from the rich lodges
of their property.
Walter c.. Orem, when requested 20
state what the values of the Douglas
group were, exhibited the results of as
says on LAG samples.
This large number OF samples were
taken from the eight-foot pay streak in
the tunnel, at a point about 100 feet
vertical from the surface, and the aver
age value of this pay streak is shown to
be 8 per cent in copper.
The ledge at tina point being from
twenty to thirty feet wide. will average
from three to five per cent in the red
metal. Taking such values, and from
all indications pointing to greatly in
creased strength with depth and devel-
opment. the management of the property
is confident that from this group of Acc
acres they will develop one of the great
est copper properties in the state OF
Nevada.
The ore Is oxidized in nature. and on
the group, by what work has been ac-
complished up to date. Is a large ton
mage of ore blocked out. The conditions
on the Douglas are identically the same
as those on the Blue Stone property, In
which latter property are over one mil
lion tons blocked out. The Ludwig prop
erty, consisting of n claim adjoining
the Douglas group. is producing a gen.
erous tonnage of copper ore that will
run from % to 80 per cent in the red
metal.
Plans are being perfected for the
proper development of the property. the
work at the present time being confined
to the tunnel.
