John Sharp Williams recently an

AS early as last January or February
the best advertised OF all the Congress

booked for practically every night be-
tween the adjournment Of Congress. in
early March, and the beginning Of the
new session, in December, and the state

fre-eating Senator from South Carolina

or never fails to draw crowded houses.
despite the feeling alleged to exist
against him in some parts Of the North
because Of his radical views on the negro
question. Indeed, his largest audiences
are In Northern towns, where his views
on the colored brother are supposed to be
particularly abhorrent.
Another Senatorial lecturer who is in
great demand. and whose emoluments are
very large, is Robert Marion La Toilette,
Of Wisconsin. His methods are totally
different from those Of his South Caro-
lima colleague. but he, too. draws packed
houses everywhere. He attracted espe-
cial attention last summer by scoring
Senators and Representatives who had
opposed legislation designed TO benefit the
people. Frequently the legislator who
was being grilIed sat on the platform

ORGANIZED FOR WORK
IN Tilt RAY DISTRICT
The Election of Officers of the Ray
Extension Copper Co.

The incorporators of the Ray En-
tension Copper company held meet
ing yesterday To eect officers and to
plan for campaign of activity in the
development of the claims. recently
purchased through J. Jay Sullivan and
others. of Kelvin. known as the Bob
Tail Junior group. AT the meeting
Yesterday Dr. John W. Foss was elect
ed president; j. Jay Sullivan, vice
president; c. d. Doris treasurer; DR..
o. E. Plath, secretary.
The claims of the Ray Extension
were purchased some time ago and
cover 12O acres. joining the Ray Prop
erty on three sides and on the other
side are bounded by the Hercules
claims. The property has now over
200 feet of development work on it and
has one fourteen foot ledge assaying
high in gold. silver and copper values.
This property was worked about four
teen years ago by another company, as
gold proposition. The company took
out a great fortune in this metal, when
copper was too low in the market to
pay to mine. Now it is to be worked
as a copper property.
DR.. Foss said yesterday that the new
company, now that il has been thor
oughly organized. will let contracts for
the sinking OF 1000 foot shaft on this
IA foot ledge and later machinery will
be installed to handle the ore. 1t is
expected that good shipping ore will
be encountered at the 700 foot level
and IL is hoped by that time that a new
smelter will be erected in the district.
Mr.. Sullivan has already sold the
ground for a smelter site at Eiman, at
the junction of the Troy and Ray
railroads. and il seems certain that at
time not far in the future. the par
ties purchasing will begin work on a
smelter. which will take custom work
and give a new impetus to the already
lively movement in mining in that sec
ton.
The Ray now has twentyfour shafts
on its property and one of the shafts
now being sunk by the Ray people is
intended to catch the same ledge which
will be opened up on the Bob Tail
Junior group. This latter shaft of the
Ray Extension company will be only
300 feet from the railroad, which
crosses the claims.
When this new mining company gets
everything down to Il working basis.
it will mean the employment of a large
force of men. the purchase of supplies.
and an expenditure of sums of~money.
which will benefit Phoenix business
men generally. Every new company
which is organized and pushes devel-
opment work on mining property adj
jacent to this city, is contributory
source of revenue to swell the volume
of trade and further the progress of
Phoenix. fact which is not so gen.
orally appreciated as ii deserves to be.

Nogales, July 27.--(Special Core
spondence to the Republican, THE
grounds of the sisters hospital have
all been spaded Up recently and flow
ers planted and set out wherever they
can be made TO beautify the grounds
and surroundings. This is in keeping
with the manner of the conduct of the
hospital in general, and much praise
il given the sisters for the efficient
care of the patients constantly being
placed in their keeping. What was
supposed to be an experiment in the
establishment of a hospital here has
proven to be a success, as well as a
great benefit to the city and surround
ing country.
Since the rains have begun all the
hills adjoining the town have put on
a greenish tint occasioned by the sud-
den starting of the grass. and vegeta-
ton of all kinds in the county has
taken on a new start of life and the fall
crops are in a prosperous and healthy
condition.
