The Hull Copper Co.

Among the companies making the most
important developments in the Verde dis
trict of Arizona is the Hull Copper Com
pany, whose claims surround on three sides
the four great producing claims of the IA
nous United Verde. 1t enjoys other excep-
tional advantages in that it is directly upon
the line of the railroad and this means a
great advantage to Hull Copper. Many
mining companies which are floated by pub
lie subscription have to build roads from
one to one hundred miles to market their
product.
The Dillon tunnel of the Hull Company Is
being pushed rapidly. They are making
about 100 to 100 feet progress in a month,
and have crossed another lode, making a
total of three the Eureka Extension
claim. The last lode contains some fine ore
and the water is heavily impregnated with
copper in solution.
The Dillon tunnel is now something
like 2O5o feet in length, and the formation
is rapidly changing to schist, which is the
formation which carries ore deposits.
A number Of mining engineers have visit
ed the property and have taken up large
holdings CT stock, which is being placed
through o. B. Stanton & Son, Real Estate
Trust Building. Philadelphia, Pa. The sub
scrptions are reported to be very large
and the financial backing of the company is
assured.

the contest exploitation OF the department.
which involves. approximately. two thou
sand papers covers upward of seven thou
sand towns and about eighteen hundred
counties out of total of twenty-siX hum
dred and ninetyone in the United States.
This exploitation will give TO the EXPOSE
ton. approximately 504 600 columns of ad-
vertising from the time the contest idea
was inaugurated to the close of the EXPOSE
ton. Mr. Snyders department will also
handle all newspaper editors, members of
their staffs and families who visit the ex-
position all tickets issued to the press
must pass through the valuation depart
ment 1t is expected that about seventy
thousand press tickets will be handled
through the validating department., and the
contest department will extend courtesies
to and arrange for accommodations for be-
tween twelve and eighteen thousand people.
By reason of his personal popularity and
wide acquaintance, Mr. Snyders connection
with the jamestown exposition as chief Of
the division of exploitation Is of a nature
to call for mutual congratulation. His
personal acquaintance with many western
editors assures their cordial co-ooperation.
Mr. Snyder has the loyal support of every
man in his division and measures up fully
to the important duties of the position he
occupies. Prompt and systematic, he d.
reefs the intricate work of his departments
with that dispatch and accuracy that al
ways bring the desired results. He takes
a very broad view of the exposition and
its possibilities, and wastes no time on
trivialities.

HOUSE TO BE MOVED.
Western Method to Be Tried in Wash
ington.

An unusual undertaking-that is, unusual
here-has been started in this city. The
three-story brick residence of Mr.. j. j.
Hemphill, located on the south side of Ban
croft place, a short distance west of CO.
lumbia road, is to be moved to the adjoin-
ing lot to the west.
A contract has been made with a Cleve-
land firm that is accustomed to do that
sort of work and the entire house is to be
lifted up from its present foundation and
placed on rollers moved westward and To-
Gated on foundations which will be pre-
pared on the adjoining lot.
The lot where this house is to be moved
is of the same dimensions as the one from
which it will be taken. Each has a front
age of twenty-five feet. 1t is expected that
the transfer from one foundation to another
will be made with but slight injury to the
house. 1t is regarded as possible that here
and there a crack may appear in the plas-
ter but otherwise the house will show nc
signs of the journey.
II is the intention of Mr.. Hemphill to pro-
vide in this way lawn space for his house
with opportunities for openings.

MUDLARK. AGAIN A WINNER.
o1dsmobile Touring Car Completes
2,OOO-Mile Nonstop Run.

The Oldsmobile Mudlark successfully COM
pleted Its 2000-mil nonstop run last Thurs
day evening in Philadelphia. Despite the
high winds which prevailed. much to the
discomfort Of the drivers, an average OF
about $50 miles q day was maintained.
The motor upon examination proved to be
| In fine condition and the test was in every
way as thorough showing Of what q
standard American car can do as the his
tory Of the car IL unique.
Last January when autoists were hurry.
Ing by rail to the winter races at Ormond
Beach. Fla, Ralph R. Owen piloted an
Oldsmobile stock touring car from New
York over the intervening $500 miles OF
swamp, mountain. clay road and river
lords. arriving at the beach in time to win
two events. It was on that trip that the
title of Mudlark was bestowed Last Tues
day the same car, which had not been over
hauled or adjusted in any way since the
winter tours mentioned, began a 1.OO0-mile
nonstop run through Philadelphia's SUBJ
urbs out Of Old York road. appearing on
the successful completion Of the run a Sec
ond thousand miles was begun without an
intervening stopping Of the engine.
With this second thousand successfully
recorded the old question is being discussed
among the wise ones: "Of what value to
an intending owner Is a nonstop run2' The
usual arguments advanced that no private
owner ever cares to run his car 1000 miles
without stopping his engine seems beside
the question. The knowing ones, men
whose experience has brought them in con-
tact with the mechanism of many cars and
whose knowledge is not confined to the
mere driving of a car, say that there is no
other or better way to determine the abso-
lutte reliability, surety of continued service
and freedom from weak points than the
nonstop runs.
A car taken from the stock Of the Odds
mobile San Francisco agent recently won
the $4,000 race-Los Angeles to San Fran
rible ever encountered in an automobile
contest.

Coal According to Quality.

In the future the District Will purchase its
coal according to its heating quality. This
was decided upon by the Commissioners yes
terday. upon the recommendation of NJ c.
Harsrove, property clerk. Mr. Hargrove
explained that the plan in purchasing coal
IS to buy it upon its heat-producing value
instead OF at SO much per ton. The coal
will be aualyzed. and its heating capacity
determined in this manner. The more heat
ing quality the coal has, the higher price
the District will pay for it.
During the last fiscal year S145,oN0 was
spent by the District for coal it being pur-
chased on the basis OF S.. a ton. On Mon
day the Commissioners Will advertise Tor
bids for coal under the new method.
