RAISED HE MONEY
 FOR THE REALIIO
News Came Yesterday of the Com
 plete Financing of the Project.

f A telegram received in the city late : Saturday afternoon from Frank Kirk ! land who was then at Hannibal, Mo-, brought the first news of the success i ful financing of the company promot- l ing and developing the Mexican mine
 Realito located in the state of Sinaloa
 near Chilean. Much of the stock n | the company is held by Phoenix peo-
 pie in all about $2O.O00 worth having | been taken when the stock was sell e | ing at ten cents a share. Since then an advance in the price was made O | twenty-five cents and a good sized | block sold at that figure. All of the i balance was disposed of by Mr. Kirk i Ian dat Hannibal. Mo-, to capitalists
 who were acquaintances of his. The ] details of the sale are not known but i the money was telegraphed to one of
 the local banks and is now here await ing the return of Mr. Kirkland who | left for the west yesterday morning.
 It was the original plan of the com pany to become the possessor of the mining property which is said to be exceedingly rich in ore values by the deferred payment plan. The original contract called for the first payment to
 be made some months hence condition
 ed that the company would by March

 in operation a five stamp min. The
 mill was purchased and started over
 land from Chilean to the property but
 when half way was stalled. the rainy
 season having made the road impass- , able for a load the weight of the mill
 In order to comply with this part of the purchasing agreement a second mill was bought at San Francisco and taken to Chilean and there started into
 the interior It was constructed of sectional machinery.
 Some of the stockholders interested in the mine however deemed it wise at once to raise enough money to make all of the payments on the mine and
 secure a title and this has been done
 so far as the raising of the money IS concerned. MT Kirkland will shortly after ais arrival here leaves for Mex ico and there make the final pay payments and take possession of the property with others who are interest ed with him.
 Although the mine will be secured by purchase word also came yesterday morning from Mexico. and the mana ger at the mine. that the mill taken from San Francisco was up and would be started in operation on the 25th of the month, yesterday. It is therefore quite evident that the title of the newly found valuable property will be cer- 1 tainly held to the Arizona and Missouri ! investors.

SALOME TOWN
 BECOMES LIVEHER
The Opening up of the Quartzsite
 Country.

Neil Sinclair, a mining man who is operating at Quartzsite is in the city for few days. His family has been living on North First street here and he is preparing to move to Los An geies where he has secured a new resi- dence of elegant proportions and with modern cOnveniences. MT Sinclair however, will spend much of his own time at Quartzsite which he says Is just now a very lively sort of a camp.
 He says there is now a little custom smelter at work which is a great help , to the prospectOr and small operator and that business in the town generally is good. There is a population of pos sibly 800 in the camp and many prop critics are being developed. It is forty five miles from Quartzsite to Salome which is the nearest railroad station at present though it is expected that a new station west of Salome and ap- proXimately twenty miles from Quartz site will soon be made by the A. & C. railway company. It is also thought that it will only be a short time until the railroad company will run q branch line down to Quartzsite for there are numerous promising proper ties under development there which will be operated in any event but which can be more successfully worked with the conveniences of a railroad. He $ confident of the future of the town as mining camp.
 Salome is also livelier now than it ever has been and there are between one and two hundred people there most of the time and some hundreds more in the surrounding country. The development of these desert mining districts has been rapidly expanding ever since the building of the A. & c. railroad became a certainty and from the standpoint of the mining man the future is most promising

missionaries in the foreign field and

aries, two colleges and numerous

York, and In the middle west. Gradu-
ally strong churches are growing up
tn Iowa and even farther west. while a
missionary work Of some extent is
being carried on among the colored
people In the south,
