Mason Valley.

Bordering the Mason Valley on the
west is a range of mountains holding the
mines which comprise what the world
knows as the Yerington district. To the
west of this range lies Smith Valley
| The two valleys show the effects of be
fore and after application of bounteou'
water. Mason Valley is green, fertile
and inviting stretch of country, within
whose confines are groves of trees shell
tering ranch homes and farm lands that
appear out of place in arid Nevada. It's
ranches produce hay, grain, vegetables
and cattle that are unsurpassed any
where, while fruit left entirely to its
own resources, barring occasional late
frosts, natures splendidly. One rancher
markets each year 20 tons of honey, tax
ing the first prize for this product at the
Chicago Worlds Fair, while Mason Val
ley potatoes are in demand in San Fran
cisco.
Yet as beautifully as this valley is pro-
vided, and as richly productive as it now
is, it is nothing in comparison with what
ii will be when the government or some
private enterprise steps in and distributes
the water, now wasted and poorly dis
tributed, according to modern scientific
irrigation principles. Smith Valley,
with a few exceptions, towards its far
western rim, still is a desert, awaiting
irrigation to make it what Mason Valley
now is.
The agriculture interests of this section
are worthy of the prominence given
them, for they provide, independently
of the extensive mining interests sur
rounding them, powerful argument
for the extension of the Southern Pa
cific railroad line from Wabuska. The
ranches likewise make mining near by
a more pleasant and economical matter
than is usually met with in desert min
ing, and they indicate the presence of a
limitless supply of water for all pur-
poses, both in mining and farming.
A railroad is certain to reach Yering-
ton within the next few months. The
farming needs demand it. Under culti-
walton in the Mason, Smith, Antelope
and the upper East Walker valleys are
100, 900 acres of land. In the year 1907,
in less than carload lots, there were
shipped from these valleys 4s6, $50 pounds
of freight, while e,9ll, ,230 pounds were
received from the railroad for these val
leys. During the same year, in carload
lots, there were 60,226, 9lo pounds re-
ceived, and 1924, $50 pounds of freight
shipped out. This does not take into
consideration the number of passengers
that are carried in and out of the district
a year, nor the increase of agricultural
products with wider application of irri-

gold, silver and copper production is itemized in all instances and where there was any production of base metal it has been figured in the total valuation but not itemiZed. The base metal production in the territory, how ever, is not important as its value in 1907 was only about $150.0O0.0O.
 The output in Yavapai county and in Cochise county in the famous War ren district shows a slight decrease in 1907 over 1906, while in Gila and Ora ham counties. the other two great min- ing districts, show a slight decrease in production but an increase in valua- tion owing to the higher average value of copper for the year. In 1908 it is expected that production will not be lessened very materially while the av- trage valuation of copper will of course be considerably less.
 Development work was active all through the year and seventeen new companies came into the productive class.

WORDS OF PRAISE
 FOR JOE MULHAT10N
4 Baltimore Gentleman Who Has Fol- lowed His Career Writes a Letter of Appreciation.

The following letter to The Repub- 1 lican gives praise to a well known Ari- zonian and is an acknowledgement oi the good work that he has done and is still doing for the mining interests oi Arizona. He is referred to above as an Arizonian. but he is in fact a character with a national reputation as writer and story teller and an all round boomer in his own original way and The Republican gladly gives space to these words of appreciation. Noting an article from your paper i in The Baltimore Sun on Joseph Null hatton, allow me to say that he has done more to boom his end of the territory of Arizona, brought more l good men into it and more capital than any other man in that part of the coun- ! try Indirectly he has also been the means of the transfer of several large properties.
 q have known Joe" for many years. see what he is doing for you Arizo- nians. Unselfish helpfulness is one of his unusual gifts.
 AS a writer, Joe" is all right and has already won worldwide fame. In the Jule Verne -Munchansen style of writing, he is recognized as the first. Added to this is the fact he has more spice. This he attained while among his warm southern friends. bv their cheerfully lending their local coloring and local names. This was appreciat- ed. laughed over and understood. He was widely known and a humorous ar ticle signed Joe Mulhatton' was no more a lie than work of standard fiction
 ,' q think you owe "Joe" the publi- cation of this letter. I am watching him with interest from here. In the copper and mining industry of Arizona, he is just now doing a good work and helping many other people to do the same. He is a man of unusual abili ties-yet scarce understood-One is surely his tenacity of purpose in stay ing with it through all the many hard ships of his Arizona life.

HORSE FILL ON HIM
 A SERIOUS INJURY
An Accident Yesterday Morning That May Have Fatal Results.


 An accident of serious nature oc- cured at the old Reed ranch west of the Double Buttes yesterday morning Dr. Brechan received a hurried call and arriving there found that a man by the name Of Stewart had had a miX-up with a colt and had suffered dangerous injuries. As near as could be ascertained from others who were on the place at the time of the accident Stewart was riding the colt, which was doing a number of lively stunts The animal slipped on a little wet ground and horse and rider fell to the ground in heap. By some strange chance the horse fell on MT Stewards head and came near putting an end to him. When assistance arrived he was found unconscious and was carried to the house The doctor found him in this condition and though every thing pos sible was done for his comfort, he had not r,gained consciousness by noon. Later in the day the doctor expected to make another call upon the injured man.
 When asked as to the seriousness of the injuries MT Stewart had sus- tained, Dr. Brechan replied that from his first call it was impossible to tell.

NEW RACE TRACK FOR
 m S0UIH SIDE TOWN
Grounds Being Placed in Good Condi- ton For Any Kind of Sport.

Several of the local horsemen have secured the property lying north of the O. c. Bullock ranch, and this is being gotten in shape to be used as a race track It is proposed to lay out Ia half-mile circular track, where the racing will take place. This location has been secured, because of the sit uation being fine, its nearness to town, and the good condition of the grounds for track purposes.
 The necessity of having a suitable race course has long been apparent be- cause of the fact that there are a number of fine animals owned by the local residents, and also that there has been no adequate place for the pulling off of the races, as the city ordinance prohibits races in the city limits, and none of the country roads were suitable to be used for this sport. Cuber road, the west side of which is outside of the city limits, has previ- ously been used for this purpose, but this has been found impracticable on account of traffic and the limited space which it gave the participants.
 The building of this new race track will prove a great attraction for the horsemen, and also for those who en- joy seeing a good race. The promoters expect to have the tract in good con dition and ready for use within a very short time.

WHAT EXCUSE?

In the current issue of The Earth published in Chicago, there is a notice able lack of anything touching upon Tempe except in a very indirect way, while every other portion of the valley is well looked after. The question nat urally arises, is this due to a lack of interest displayed by Tempe people, or was it done Intentionally by the publication. If the first surmise is cor rect, no one is to blame excepting the people here. On the other hand. if Tempe was neglected purposely, the town has justifiable kick coming.

 The practice of appropriating a wheel simply because it chances to be standing idle on the side walk, is be . coming too general, and the owners of wheels, who have been annoyed in this manner of late are many, and it is hoped that some remedy or punishment suitable for the offense. will be 1 'und which will put a stop to this.

MINERAL PRODUCTS
 FOR THE YEAR 1907
Some Deductions Made and Comments Upon the Figures Published in Yes terday's Republican.

In 1907 the territorial legislature of Arizona passed law requiring all mining companies whose production in one year had a gross value of $3,75O.O0 or more to file with the county asses sor and the territorial auditor state ment in detail of the gross product. These reports are used as a basis for assessment, the law providing that the valuation for assessment purposes of all productive mines shall be 25 Der cent of their production for the year.
 The valuation of the metal is deter mined by the average valuation in New York for year and for 1907, the fig ures reported by the Engineering and Mining Journal were accepted, as fol- lows; -. .-r-s .f -
 Gold, ounces, s2O.67; silver, ounces. 65S27: copper, pounds, .2O0OO4; lead pounds, .05325.
 The returns for the year 1906 and 1907 have become available but this Is the first time that a condensed re- port'of every productive mine in the territory has been compiled and tabu- lated in the detail which was present. ed for the year 1907, in yesterday morn ings issue of The Republican.
 The statement represents practical ly the total mineral production of Ar izona as the output of any mines which produced in a year metal valued at less than sS,750.0p is negligible. The

GOSPEL Mission,

Evangelist James Estes, after the
reading of Scripture took his text from
Heb. II xiii: These all died in faith
not having received the promises, but
having seen them afar off and were
persuaded of them, and embraced them
and confessed that they were strangers
and pilgrims on the earth He i'm
pressed all that first there must be
persuasion. We get persuad ed of our
great need and on the other hand from
whence our help cometh. Leaving
this we adhere to it, and we become
as one. Second, that is enforcement.
Nothing is never of value to any one
until that one embraces it, We are
not to embrace any church faith but
that of the Son of God. Thirdly that
of confession. No one shows any faith
in anything or person without confess
ing it. Some are ever cXtalling this
thing and that friend, because of their
faith in them. There are people
that have faith in God and His beloved
Son whom He hath sent. Dear ones
here put your trust in this Savior, he
persuaded He can save, and embrace
Him and confess Him tonight.

Fred f. Harnden. who lives on the
Cross Hill road, met with a bad acct
dent Tuesday morning by striking an
axe into his left leg and cutting a cash
about three inches in length and in to
the bone Mr.. Harnden was engaged
in chopping wood about nine miles
from the city and by misstroke of the
axe drove the implement into his left
leg just above the ankle, making a
deep cut and severing some of the
smaller arteries. He was brought to
this city. where his wound was
dressed. but was very weak from the
loss of blood of which he lost large
quantity. Mr.. Harnden is rather I'M
fortunate in the use of an axe, as but a
few years ago he cut some of the toes
of the same foor badly. and in the
same way that the accident of yester-
day happened.
