TUCSON RACE MEET
WILL BEGIN MARCH 10
Postponed a Few Days to Accommo-
date the Phoenix Horsemen Expect
ed 20 Attend.

1t was learned by telephone last
night from Tucson that the horsemen
OF that city had postponed their ad-
vertised race meeting from February
% to March Is 10 and Il. This was
the Phoenix horsemen, who had eX-
pressed a desire To attend the Tucson
meeting and lend all the help they
could to its success. 1t was under
stood that the Phoenix horsemen
would have business of their own on
hand at home during February so il
was decided to have the Tucson gath
ering a little later.
The purses offered for the harness
events in Tucson will be $3.50 each and
thus far as a guarantee Of the success
of the meeting, $500 in cash has been
raised in Tucson. for purses. The Tue
son people are very anxious TO have
the help of Phoenix horsemen and an
nounce that they will expect several
OF the well known fast steppers to
be present and make a good showing
in the speed events.
The interests OF the horsemen in the
two towns are mutual in n great meas
ure. Arizona claims to he the finest
horse country in the world. naturally.
and stands ready to prove it. but there
are a lot Of people in the world who
haven't found that fact out yet. Phoe-
nix and Tucson are both interested in
attracting horsemen of the country to
Arizona, for the benefits that will en-
sue to the respective towns and all
Arizona is interested for the benefits
that will come To it in general way
by this publicity and by the added
stimulus it will give the territorial
fair.

this instance it is made of smoke gray

there can be a number of variantions
arranged while essentially the design
remains the same. Plaid cut bias and
stitched over plain material is well
liked this season. silk and velvet or

while the display of braid os unprece-

The skirt is cut in seven cores and

TELLURIUM GOLD
IN seven TROUGHS

SEVEN TROUGHS, April 2@.-
The town of Seven Troughs was
thrown into a Juror of excitement
today over the discovery on the
ground of the Seven Troughs Therien
Gold Mines company by C. P. Weddell
of Ogden, a lessee, of the first gold
tellurium ore to be found In the dis
trict. The richness and apparent
quantity of the ore and the signifi-
cance of the appearance of the tellu-
ride of gold in the district, acquiring
great base bodies and %permanency as
is believed here, combined to increase
the excitement following the first
flush of the discovery. From a gem
eral sample taken from the entire
shaft bottom today an assay was Sc
cured showing a value of S497.20 in
gold and $40 in silver. Mr.. Weddell
believes that the entire shaft is in
ore worth all the assay has shown

and is showing a decided improve

The ore lies in less than thirty

also bought a town lot and will erect
thereon a two-story building.
"The camp of Wonder has been
handicapped heretofore by the ex.

smelters have named a fiat rate o.

freight and treatment. Thirteen com.

AT PITTSBURG
SILVER PEAK
MANAGER EFFINGER SAYS MILL
WILL BE FINISHED IN
SEPTEMBER.

M. L. Efinger, manager OF the
Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining Com
pany, arrived in the city last night.
When Intercepted concerning the
work at the mines he declared there
was nothing new to report but in
the course of a conversation several
interesting facts developed.
I'VE are working night and day
shifts said Mr.. Efinger, "and are in
$50 feet on the Mary level at a
depth of 1900 feet forcing u way
toward the old WATSON workings on
the Blair mine. All of this $50 feet
of drifting is in ore, good milling
ore, but before we reach u OBJ
jective point we will have to go over
1900 feet farther. This will take
us abeut four months. This will
bring us we'll toward September and
upon the 18th of that month our
new 10O-stamp mill will be finished.
We have installed twelve outdoor arc
lights to facilitate work upon the
mill. All the mill machinery is on
the ground and all the steel for the
mill building with the exception of
two carloads has been received. We
have completed the railroad to the
mill so we are able to unload the
freight from the cars to a position
convenient to our operations with
out the need of hauling 1t. We also
have started work upon a carpenter
shop and a blacksmith shop and will
have both buildings finished within
a week or ten days. The front walls
of the mill are in place and the
foundation for the batteries is nearly
laid. BY the middle Of September
we will be in a position to show
to visitors a complete milling plant
