 EN ROUTE TO MINE.-President c. E. Finney of the London Arizona was in Phoenix en route to the mine, where he will spend several days He had just come from Los Angeles, after a considerable length of time spent in Boston and other eastern cities. Re- garding the plans of his company he had nothing to state at this time. Conditions in the east he had found to be improving especially in Boston, where financially the situation was good and people are full of confidence New York's situation was not quite so favOrably inclined and while the banks had plenty of money it was not accessible in large sums.

Finney is in as close touch with the financial situa- tion as any man in the country. He looks upon the recent furry as a pure ly bankers panic in which the outsider had little part and was little worried. though considerably incOnvenienced while it lasted.

Time was when it was a very unsatisfactory institution, serv- ing abort every kind of weather the people didn't want, though the man agement was trying it's best no doubt. The trouble was not with the observer personally. for the officials have al- ways been fine men. The fault was only in that they did not have the right kind of a pull. But for two or three years now the finest kind of climate and a cOpious rainfall has been served to the general satisfaction of everybody. This year there was fear that things were going wrong again, but MT. JesunOfsky knew his business and was only holding off for the reclamation service to get in ship shape. Then he delivered a million dollar rain about a week ago and the people said that was good if he would furnish another installment d little later on. Last night there was heavy wind in the evening hours that seemed more like a blizzard than a rain maker, but about o'clock it be-
