SPORTSMEN AfIElD
ON A SUMNER DAY
What The Nimrods of This Valley
Have to Inspire Them in the Way
of Wing Shooting.

Spea king of bird meat, there's only
one best place in the world for wing
shooting. and that is the Salt River
valley. Arizona. with white wings for
targets. Four nimble nimrods and
TWO dogs rolled into town last evening
in a two-hOrse wagon. all tired out, but
they certainly had something to show
for their days work The boxes in
the rear end of the wagon bed contain
ed 697 dead birds, packed in salt and
weighted down with ice. and they
were all white wings except perhaps
a dozen or two doves.
The shooters were J. L. Mcdowell,
c. R. French. DR.. Miller and L. w. Col
Inns. and the retrievers were Bruce
and Duke. the crack bird dogs OF
Messrs. Collins and French. And a
tired pair of dogs they were, too.
Whenever the caravan stopped the
dogs were ready to lie down and rest.
They weren't a bit playful or clipper,
though they We're good natured. They
acted Just like human beings do after
they have been on a rabbit drive. only
the dogs had something to show for il.
The party left town Saturday after
noon at 1870 and drove to a point
about seven miles south of Tempe,
where they made camp and had a
beautiful sleep in their Arizona bed
room. which is big as all out doors"
Early yesterday morning they got up
and prepared for business, beginning
the fusilade about o'clock. All day
long the shot guns cracked. until about
> o'clock. when they started home.
That is, all the time except when they
stopped to rest and eat. part of
which program included the making
of a Mulligan. and laying in the shade
a couple of hours. This took fifteen or
twenty birds and they gave away
about forty to family of friends they
met on the way home. That brings the
total of the DAYS shooting up to about
80 birds, which is the record in these
parts for four men. They went out to
shoot 1000 birds and could easily have
done so. had they kept at it, but they
got gun-tired and quit.
One of the hunters said last night
that he never saw the equal of yester-
day for something to shoot at. He
said he believed without eXaggeration
that they saw at least a million white
wings Nearly every bird represented
a single shot. for every one of them
was killed on the wing, and it was very
seldom a man got two at one shot,
for the white wings do not flock as
closely together as quail and some
other birds. The birds were so thick

The price of mich cows has jumped
several notches recently. The Tempe
creamery is paying sl.20 for milk and
the local creameries have increased

cows valuable and a buyer who was

MOUNTAIN VIEW MINES
RECEIVING MUCH
ATTENTION

Inc latest news to be received fro,,,
tne Wilson Gold Mines COMPANY oner-
ating III the Mountain View sectio,,
came Ill the form of a brief ,nesoo,rs
wednesday last to the effect that every.
thing was looking fine and that work
mad already started on the contract for
the new lO0-foot tunnel. It is believed
that the latter work will witness the
realization of the company's belief that
at depth good bodies of higl-prade ore
Will be encountered The bore will tan
the vein at considerable depth on its per
pendicular dip.
AS was promised at the beginning of
operations, the company is conducting a
campaign of development conspicuous
tor its economy and consistency.
While the work of driving the tunnel
is under way, attention will be devoted
to sinking the main working shaft, the
bottom of which is characterized by a
four-foot lead of ore of milling grade
through which traverses several string
ers of high-grade.
While the holdings of the Wilson Gold
Mines company are considered the real
big ones of the Mountain View district,
others are coming to the front which
promise to show equally as strong when
the same amount of development work
has been accomplished. Of the latter,
the Shirley c is coming rapidly into its
own, sensation having come from it
recently in the nature of discovery of
telluriuin ore.
Those familiar with the district are
confident that it will eventually yield
high-grade ores in abundance. The
formation of the country is similar to
that of Goldfeld, with surface showings
that, to say the least, warrant heavy ex-
penditures in the opening-up process.
