WENDEN, Ariz., May 14.-Al- though the approaching warm weath- CT has had the effect of causing Wenden citizens to presage a quiet summer in mining circles, all en- Enthusiastically join in declaring they have the richest mineral section in the territory. and that this fall will witness a great boom in this part of Arizona
 Wenden is admirably located as a supply point for the surrounding mines. Within a radius of 25 miles. with Wenden as the hub, are the Hardua Hala, Pittsburg- Harqua Hala, Harcuvar, Cunningham Pass, Corona, Hercules, Socorro, Old Bull lard, Victor and Bell Crown and oth- CT properties Of merit
 At the Victor and Bell Grown properties, six miles northwest of this place, the main shaft is now down 375 feet on the Bell Grown No. claim. A force of eight men, under Superintendent R. R. MeDon- aid, are working steadily, sinking to- ward the 800 level, to which depth they will go before crosscutting or drifting. Superintendent McDon- aid has established an ehyiable rec ord by sinking from the 250 to the $50 level in P days. with two shifts, using a whim. A 25-horse-power gaso- line hoist Is now en route to the property to replace the whim. There are seven claims in the group. The ledge shows six feet wide and the bot tom of the shaft is in ore. A ship ment of five carloads, made to Hum boldt before the smelter closed, av- eraged s29 per ton.

The tunnel is straight into the big ore body. a blu ish tellurium, with every indication of an immense ore body of great richness ahead.
 The rich strike was made last Mon day, but it was not until Friday. when an assay of the bluish rock was made in Prescott that the owners knew of the bonanza they had found. They own three claims with many croppings similar to the one which ITO feet in struck the fiye-foot lead oS $250 rock The tunnel, which is now in 176 feet, has been in average pay dirt for 106 feet The main ledge runs east and west with dip of 45 feet to the south.

THEY STRUCK HOT WATER

Peculiar Phenomena Encoun-

SOLOMONyILLE, Ariz., May 14. A company was formed some time ago to bore for oil on the mesa on the east side of the Graham noun tains. Not oil but water-water in untold quantities-is the reward of their labors This flow of hot water was struck et about 1900 feet. A fouF-inch pipe has been driven and 1t will throw stream about 60 feet high.
 This flowing well of salty, hot water, has great medicinal qualities. It opens up great prospect for a sanatorium. The climate in this Gila valley is as near ideal as can be found for people with any disposition to lung trouble With the great climate and this well in addition, it is fine opening for some one. It is only six miles from town.

 Camp By June 1,

A. ] Pidgeon, who is one of the well known men at Johnson. camp in Ccchise county. is a visitor in Tucson. He Is ia charge of operations on Uhe new railroad that is being constructed from Dragon Summit on the Sou ern Pacific to Johnson Camp, d1s tanco oi ten miles,
 He stated that work is progressing rapidly on the railroad and, that it will probably be completed by July 1. The road is being constructed by. the Arizona and Michigan Deyelopment company. people who have etxensIfe C mining interests in the camp.
 The completion of the railroad will mean a big boom for Johnson camp as it will afford the mining companies operating there cheaper and ,speedter transportation in sending their, ores to the smelters.
 Mir. Pidgeon stated that he hoped to have all of the ores from the mines Of his company smelted in this terri tory. Part of the ores will be sens to the Benson smeIter which. it is stated, will be blown in again this summer, and t5e remainder will be sent to the Douglas plant, according to present plans.

 NEW YORK, May 14.-Further ag- gressive activity on the long side of the market was witnessed today and although considerable profit taking in the rails was noted during the ses- sion, the close was near the highest The metal issues were the salient features, Amalgamated Shelters and the steel stocks being in good de mand and higher prices are predicted. The advance has been rather rapid and a setback will undoubtedly occur from time to time, but with the charac- ter of the support rendered the list on any sign of weakness, we are dis posed to think active issues will sell much higher.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused wrong idea OF the

made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong. too. in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
