HOBSON'S LECTURE
CAPTIVATES TOWN.
Hero of Merrimac Fame Speaks of the
American Navy as the Problem
of the Times.

Clinton, May Id. Clinton was indeed
fortunate in securing Hon. Richmond
Il. HObson as one of the speakers on
the anniversary occasion. His lecture
Saturday evening on the American Navy
as the problem of the day and time was
full of interest from the first to last
sentence. He spoke of the corporation
the government. That Americas S mis-
sion was to be the peace makers of the
world, but to do so she must maintain
larger navy, both for her own protec-
tion and that of other nations. From
his experience and observation i'm for
eign countries to have been born an
American was greater than to be of the
Royalty.

CITIZEN OF DIALS
SUSTAINS BIG LOSS.
The Home OF MIR. w. F. MedlOck De.
stroyed by fire-One thousand
Dollars Insurance

Saturday night between eight and
nine O'Clock the home of MIR. w. Frank
Medlock of Merna, Dials township, was
completely destroyed by fire which is
supposed to nave originated accident
ally in the boys dressing room. Mr..
Medlock and his daughter, Miss Madge
Medlock, were spending the night in
Laurens and did not know of the de-
struction of their home until 8 O'Clock
Sunday morning.
Shortly after retiring Saturday night
some of the members of the family de-
tecteds the odor of burning garments.
An immediate investigation led to the
discovery of fire, the dressing room
being in flames which spread rapidly to
all parts of the house, Mrs. Medfock
and the children having to escape from
the burning building in their night
clothing.
Little or nothing was saved from the
dwelling, but the neighbors who came
in managed to save the buildings,
except the carriage house, and lot of
8 bales of cotton
The dwelling was one of the largest
country homes in the county. The loss
is estimated at over $4,000, with 81, 900
insurance.

RAN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
Engine Drawing Freight on c. N. L.
Railroad DeraiIed.

At 9.45 Wednesday night local freight
No. from Columbia, in charge of Cap
tain Lucas and Engineer Land, ran into
an open switch near the Laurens Roller
Mill site, dcrailing. the engine and ten
der No one was hurt and the locomo-
tive was only slightly damaged.
Capt. Lucas had light train and En-
gineer Land had his engine under full
control, coming into the station yard
very slowly, but for which facts results
would have been more serious, no
doubt.
1t is believed that some one bent on
mischief opened the switch for the pur-
pose of wrecking the mixed train from

pened this train was late Wednesday
night, the freight coming in ahead.

MORENC| MINERS REFUSE ID GO
 0N STRIKE
First Week in July Passes With Labor Conditions Re-
 maining the Same.

A week ago there was reason to be- lieve that another strike would occur at Morenci, the home of the Detroit Copper company. Word was sent out that agitators were among the Mexi- can employees urging them to strike, to take possession of the mines, and then work them for themselves. Sev- eIal meetings were held during the week prior to July l and the company officials tooks steps to protect the property in case of any attempted vio- lent acts.
 Sunday came and passed without any action being taken by the Mexi- csns, and so far this months the men have been at work as usual.
 c. E. Mills, superintendent of the Detroit Copper company, is a man of wonderful executive ability. During the trouble at Morenci several years ago it was his advice and wise judg- rlent that on more than one occasion prevented a conflict between the citi- zens and the Mexican strikers. The movement started at Morenci is said by MexiCans In this section to be concerted action among Mexican em- ployees in the southwest to make demand for an increase in wages. The Detroit Copper Company employs alnout ninety-fiye per cent Mexican la bor These employees receive about S2.7O cents per day gold. The came class of employees find work in the AT,zona Copper company at Clifton and Mecalf and it is argued by the management of these companies that if higher priced labor was employed, it would mean the closing down Of the mines, as the ore extracted is of such low grade, that after concentration and srselting, the profits would be nil.
 The Arizona Copper company is handling ore which assays less than one per cent copper. Of course this is not the rule, but it shows what makes the Clifton district low-priced

GOLD BULLION FROM GOLD
 ROADS
Increasing Activity in the Mo- have DiStrict-LittEe
 Chief Producing,

KINGMAN, July 7-Under Sheriff J. P. Gideon has brought in from Gold Roads handsome bar of gold bullion valued at $27 800. This bar was made in the last ten days and was one of the purest ever sent from the mill. The big mill is grinding away without a hitch, although it is said that short age of water is expected by the man. agement. The sinking of the big shaft to depth of about 1000 feet will prob mill will need.
 J. c. Dexter came in from Chloride on Thursday last. He reports great activity in the mines of the Mineral Park section, and believes that many good properties will be opened up this year. At the Keystone the richest of silver and gold ore is being taken out. About twelve men are at work-on the old Laporte mine and in the other properties of the camp chloriders are at work. On the summit of the range, east of the town, Steve Tyler is work ing several men and getting big re- suits.
 E. T, Staples made a thorough ex- animation Of the properties, and took away with him many samples of the ore. These mines have produced a great deal of ore carrying values of 7o per cent tungstic acid, which sold at s42O per tor at Kingman station. Shipments were made to the Primos Chemical Go. of Clifton station, Pa The work done on the mines has been superficial. but it is believed with more extensive work a great body of ore will be opened.
 IL is reported that Clark & MeMa- hon are again getting big ore in their lease on the Little Chief mine, at Stockton hill Recently the ore streak pinched to about two inches, but the boys followed it down, and were re- warded by it's widening to about eigh- teen inches. This is worth about $500

MINING NOTES.

O. c. Davis is preparing to return to his favorite field in the Chirica- huas and push his mining plans vigor- ously. MT. D. located, developed and sold the Cochise property and has very extensive interests remaining in the Chiricahua district.
 Recent advices from Fred Bach man are to the effect that he is in Chicago and that the Sonora country is attracting wide attention in the big packing house center. Mir B. is largely interested in the Tabatacachi district
 Lilies Brothers, John Evans and ]. P. Jones have recently denounced a group of twenty pertenencias about two miles southeast of the Hidden Treasure, in the Esmeralda or Mon tevisto district. about thirteen miles east of Cos. The property is of the same general character as the rest of that district, with perhaps better sur face conditions. They are preparing to open it up as rapidly as their means will permit.
 The Esmeralda continues to pro. duce the rarest kind of specimen ore by jerks, with lower grade rock on steadier lines Chicago parties in the same district have denounced a large tract of mineral land known as the Princessa and propose to go to work immediately L. A. Lilies left for his camp today on the Nacozari train by way of Cos
 The San Bernardino, which has been lying quiet for few days. is preparing to resume exploration work on a more vigorous plan than ever Their diamond drill operations have been attended with very encouraging results so far as they have progress ed
 The A. NJ. G D.. or Gold Treasure, is still 'balled up" and it would ap- pear that the announcement that Joe Muheim would take charge of it was premature. Charley McHenry is in Naco. however, and it is thought that his presence there is of some sig nificance in he premises as pointing to a resumption of mine and mill op- erations on the property.

BISBEE, July T, 1906


 The close of this weeks market shows renewed strength in nearly all stocks. There is good buying power into todays market and all stocks are we'll taken. The offerings are becom- ing lighter and buyers must bid up to get their stocks We do not doubt that some of these stocks have seen the bottom and while they may remain al the present prices for another month we do not believe they will see lower prices. The week has seen good buying in American, Warren, DeRn, Arizona, Globe and Superior & Pittsburg and Cochise. These stocks especially have been active and have made advances. American was be- ing bought freely the early part of the week at $10-50, but today bids of $11 fail 10 bring any out. Warren is being sought at S13.25, in good sized blocks. Yesterday Denn was picked up at SIG. while today there is none being offered under ST, which shows how closely the stock is being held Owing to the small amount of Cochise that is being offered, there is good bidding and bids of ST today could not locate any. Globe Consolidated is taking on slow but gradual ad- vance, with sales during the week at SC.25 and s6.50. All stock offered at these prices is readily taken up. North Butte and Butte Coalition have held about the same The Butte stocks are weak. with scarcely any change, as is Keweenaw, which is below par at $9.50. Raven strengthened again to par, there being none offered un- der S1. Greene held at S2.12, although weak at this figure.

ARIZONA COPPER COMPANY WILL START NEW MILL ON
 JULY 10,

MORENCI, A. T., July 1.-The new concentrator, No. 6, of the Arizona Copper company, which will be in full operation by July 10, is a fine exam pie of the most modern methods for the reduction of copper ores. While rated at only 700 tons daily capacity, yet the builders are confident the cut put will easily reach 1900.
 Ground was broken for the founda- ton work late last fall and the work was pushed with such energy in all departments that the result has been record breaker in construction work.
 The steel work was done by the American Bridge company, but the success of the entire work is due to the ability of the superintendent of construction, c. D. Clarke, who leaves this week to build railroad for an English company in India. .
 The mill is on a hill just east of Mo- renci, the crusher plant first to view. Here are two 600 ton capacity crush CTS, which reduce the ore to about three-quarters of an inch, to be con- veyed by belt 100 yards to the mill. Power is supplied by one 250 horse power Nordberg engine and one di- rect connection 1855 horse power dynamo, steam being supplied by three Sterling boilers, each of 300 horse power capacity.
 The interior of the mill is remark. able for it's roominess and convent ence. Light comes from skylights fitted with floboleum, an oil and wire netting combination, durable, a poor conductor of heat, and giving a rest ful greenish tint to the light.
 The usual Wilfley tables and van ners are in evidence, supplied from a single ore grader and separator. The new feature about this mill is he immense settling taH,G, which will be built below the min. From this the tailings will be removed to fill in in the mines.
 This mill will make the total daily capacity of the Arizona Copper com pany's concentrators about 3600 tons.

CALIFORNIA TURQUOISE
 IN MUCH FAVOR

The turquoise mines of New Mexico and Arizona have lately not been as productive as formerly, says MT. Geo. F. KunZ in 8 report on the production of precious stones in 1905, which the United States Geological Survey will soon publish. The turquoise proper ties of California and Nevada have, however, been increasing their output. Considerable quantities of turquoise have been taken from the mines in the desert region Of San Bernardino county, California. Many of the stones range from fifty to several hundred carats in size. Some of them have sold as high as s1.500 each. The color is pale, but it has gained favor, and large quantities of the stones have been sold in the form of beads for necklaces.

 At the American-Saginaw the situa- ton is the same as usual The man agement is planning to use oil for frel instead of coal.
