Imaginary Mine SwindIers Get Into
Trouble.

G. L. Blackman, the fiscal agent,
aud Arthur Levan, a trustee OF the
Lost Bullion Spanish Mines company,
with Offices in the Temple Court
building, Denver, were arrested last
week by Deputy United States Mar
shall Frank, on charges of having
used the mails to defraud by adver-
tising the selling of worthless stock.
Charges were made by Postoffice
Inspectors Mccormick and Bedford,
who have investigated complaints
made against the company. The
company's books, the inspectors say,
show that S6O,OOO has been secured
during the last four months from the
sale of stock at 40 cents per share.
The promoters were taken before
United States Commissioner Hins-
dale, and furnished $1,000 bonds each
for their appearance for a prelimi-
nary.
The Company's property is located
eight miles southwest OF Silver City,
N. NJ. The company was incor
porated last November with ten mill
lion shares at par value of 81 each.
The original incorporators were R.
G. Hunt, of Denver, and VIM. E.
Wilson, of Boulder. The original
board of directors consisted of r. c..
Hunt, W. B. Cameron, Arthur Levan,
VIM. E. Wilson and Charles Dubois.
Hunt was elected president.
The company represented in ad-
vertising that the entrance to the
'old workings of the mine we're ir-
adequate for modern methods and
that money was needed to tap the
veins. The inspectors claimed to
have found the so-called "old work.
ing" which were said to be miles in
length only natural caYe of irregu-
lar shape and the piles of ore said to
be visible could not be found. One of
the circulars mailed by the company
to prospective purchasers of the
stock purported to be an Associated
Press dispatch telling of an alleged
re-discovery of the lost mine, which
had been originally found by a Span
ish grandee who was killed ten years
later by Indians, after having taken
much gold out of the mine.
The officers of the company have
declared in affidavits to inspectors
that it was an error made by the
printer who set up this article for the
mining company and that they did
not intend to represent it as an AS
sociated Press dispatch.

NORTON RECEIVES $I5O,OOO.
Another Mine Deal Made by Humphrey
and Fay.

George Norton, who has lived for
many years at Mohawk, has come
into fortune almost as great as the
one recently paid Felix Mayhem.
The property formerly owned by
Norton was purchased by Chas. Fay
and r. K. Humphreys, the same par
ties who engineered the recent sale
of the Mayhem strike. The claims
sold by Geo. Norton, include the fine
Mother Lode claims and a placer
claim known as the Golden Ribbon.
All!these claims are in the Kofa min
ing district and were only recently
located by Mr.. Norton. The sale is
on much the same terms as the May
hew strike sale, and the papers re-
corded last week, provide for pay
ment of $1,000 on April 1st and the
other payments as follows: February
lst, 1908, $50, 800, July 1st, 1908, 1885,,
500 and two more payments for the
same amount are to be made on No
vember Ist, 1908, and March lst, 1909.
Others interested in the claims are
Chas. Mathis, Fred and Burt Latham.
What proportion of the Sl5O,OOO is
theirs has not been stated.
The property is situated one mile
west of the Mayhem strike.
Another deal of S25, 900 was made
in which the same parties, Chas. Fay
and r. K. Humphreys by D. Ortega,
George Downey and Z. B. Haines,
claim known as the Rattlesnake and
situated between the Norton and
Mayhem claims.
E. B. Haines owns a half interest
in the claim and George Downey and
d. Ortega each a quarter interest.
The two transactions have undoubt-
edly been made by Fay & Humphreys
for David Hyman, of New York, for
whom the MAYHEM strike was pur-
chased.-Yu Yuma Sun.

AMERICAN GOLD In
SISTER REPUBLIC.
LimantOur Estimates That $750,OOO, 900
American Money is Invested.

According to Hon. Jose 1. Liman-
tour, minister of finance of the MeXi-
can government, SS6, 5000 of for
eign capital was invested in Mexico
during the twelve months that ended
, June 30, 1906, as follows:
Banking, $57 100000; 100000 from
the sale of mortgage bonds; SO, 900,-
900 from industries; $500, 900 from
the sale of mining properties; S3,5OO.-
900 from the sale of the Hidalgo and
Northeastern railroad; 3 total of
$S6, 500, 900.
Mr.. Limantour says: sin the fore
going no account has been taken of
investments in the shape of machin
cry or other articles received, nor Of
the sums applied to the payment of
previous debts, nor finally to money
that has come to the country through
the sale of other kinds of securities
or of the bonds of the federal gov
ernment or of the states. 1t must
be remembered that the object of
above statement was merely to enum
crate few of the principal concerns
whose operations have given rise to
the employment, within the country.
of foreign capital in cash, from the
implantation of the monetary reform
up to the end of June last only, and
no attempt of any kind has been
made to ascertain exactly the aggre-
gate of all operations of this nature
that have been effected"
The estimate is, as Mr.. Limantour
says, only part of such investments.
1t is conservatively estimated by men
in close touch with the financial and
business interests that the total in
vestments of foreign capital during
the twelve months ending June 80,
1906, in Mexico, was not less than
5000, ,000,0 The investment of
American money in Mexico Will now
aggregate close to $3.50, 1000, 900, it is
stated by those familiar with these
investments.

Shannon Copper.

Directors of the Shannon Copper
company have definitely decided upon
the building of the railroad connect
ing its smelter at Clifton with its
mines at Metcalf, which will also con-
meet with the Morenci Southern rail
road owned by the Phelps-Dodge COM
pany, which runs from Guthrie to De-
troit Copper company works at Mo-
renci. The directors have sent to
their Clifton officials power of at
torney to incorporate under the Ari-
zona laws the Shannon & Arizona
railrood company. This road will be
of standard gauge, and will be ten
miles in length, and this, with the
small railroad now owned by the
Shannon company, which connects
Mexico railroad, will give the Shan
non company a railroad system of
twelve miles.
1t is estimated that the cost of this
road will be about S350,OO0 It's
money will be raised by the sale of
bonds, and the stock carrying con-
troll ,Awill rest with the Shannon Cop
per company.
The building of this road will not
necessitate the raising or any new
capital by the Shannon company, nor
the issue of securities of any kind.
1t will be financed as separate con-
pany, but in the interests of the
Shannon Copper company by Shan
non interests.
For the past five years the Clifton
camp has yearly suffered by reason
of floods which have greatly damaged
local property, and entailed consider
able loss on the two big copper COM
panies operating in the Clifton camp,
the Arizona Copper company and the
Shannon company.
The management of the former
company has shut its eyes to the fact
that climatic conditions in Arizona
have changed, and year after year
that company has rebuilt its small
narrow gauge railroad, the Coronado
railroad, only to have it destroyed
the succeeding winter. The destruc-
tion of this road year afer year has
greatly interfered with the opera
tions of the Shannon company, which
has been dependent upon it for its
ore, and in the failure OF the Arizona
company to meet the situation, the
Shannon company, now financially in
a strong position, has taken the mat
ter into its own hands, and intends
no longer to be dependent upon the
Arizona Copper company.
During three floods of the past win
ter the Arizona Copper company is
said to have lost a production of
about 100000 pounds of copper, and
the Shannon company is said to have
lost over l, 200, 900 pounds production,
a matter of 100000 loss to the Ari-
zona company, and over 100000 to
the Shannon company, while the
property loss to the Arizona Copper
company has been as large again.
1t is believed by the Shannon inter
ests that the new Shannon 81 Arizona
railroad will practically pay for
itself in the first year of its opera
tion. 1t will be built through the
hills, high above the flood leycl.-

Ghamberlain's Cough Remedy
Both Agreeable and Effective.

Cham5erlain's Cough Remedy has

Arrivals from Lower Pinto Creek
recently brought word that the shaft
of the Arizona National, which ran
into a good sulphide ore after sink
ing was resumed with the installation
of new hosting plant, is now in
fifty feet of ore. The entire shaft
for that depth is now in ore, which is
apparently increasing in grade. 1t
is very evident that the National has
one of the biggest mines in the Coun-
try and that the ground through
which they are sinking is one mass of
ore. The strike of this company
will do much to boom the industry in
that promising section of the Globe

VANDERBILT GLEE CLUB.

All the world loves a college man, though perhaps not with the singleness of devotion that it loves the college girl, and it is especially fond of the collegian in his rollicking college songs, which. in both jolly jingle and majestic measure, tell of the happy days of college life and college prowess, turning the thoughts of the grey-haired gentlemen on the other side of the footlights to the time when they, too, were young, and strolled among
 the classic halls and graves of alma
 mater-days now gone forever The exuberant spirits of college men always bring to mind the old days, for we were not always five and forty. A number of men who have been with the club for four or five years are again to be seen here, notably Morton B.

rollment of 3S0. The young women, who canont be accommodated in the dormi- tory, board in Montevallo. The growth of the school, the inconvenience endured by the students who board at some dis tance from the school, the advantage to be derived in having all the students under the same roof in order to gain the full benefits of school discipline are strong arguments in favor of building the new wing. Those members of the com mlttee already familiar with the situa- tion will hardly need any coercion to provide ample dormitofy room and those newly appointed cannot fail to recognize the wisdom of doing so. 1t sees an i'm peratiye duty of the committee to con slider the building of a new dormitory before the next school year
 On the other hand are the present cramped and wholly inadequate buildings where several departments of the school are conducted under conditions most dis couraging.
 Two years ago new class rooms were erected but in striking contrast to this attractive and commodious wing is the dilapidated wooden building where sev- eral of the departments are located.
 Down the line" so to speak, of these temporary wooden structures are the mu- sic rooms, the studio of the director and practice rooms. A stranger would ven ture rather timidly down the long, dark corridor upon which the practice rooms open. They are small bare, uninviting and are lighted by one window. These rooms alone, this one narrow, poorly ven tilated, sunless corridor will tell their own story to the building committee, as will also the gymnasium and the departments of domestic science, and also of telegra- phy stenography and typeWriting which take in all available space. It is quite
