-foremen cut from s1.85 day to $1.75,

This is the old level, before the increase

necessary for the Central to curtail ex-
penses, but why not begin with cutting
down the salaries of the high priced

WICkENBUR6 IDEAL PLACE

Representative of Rich Colorado Com
panies Now Making An Exhausted
Examination of the General Re-
sources Surrounding Wickenburg.

After returning from a four days
trip inspecting the Pump, Black Dia-
mond and Alliance mines out west
from Wickenburg, Mr.. Emil Holden
said to The Republicans representa-
tive upon his inquiry for news:
1T is true that for the past ten days
Mr. Chas. A. Wolcott, vice president
of the Boulder Mining and Smelling
company has been with me to examine
all kinds of mining propositions
around Wickenburg. No less than
eight very good propositions have been
so far inspected and another week will
be required to inspect Black Rock
Mining District. Attention is to be
given especially to the Burrage group
of patented mines now owned by F. y.
O'Brien: also the properties of Coeh-
ran and Murphy and others.
After this we will take a two weeks
trip into the Bill Williams country.

Wickenburg will be the point where
the above Colorado Mining and Smelt-
ing company will start their opera
lions.
Mr.. T. G.. Waltemeyer is the pres
ident of the Monarch Consolidated
Gold and Copper Mining and Smelling
company. of Boulder. Colo and is also
president Of the Rocky Mountain Rail-
way company and the company has
miles of rails and sufficient rolling
stock. so stated to me by Mr.. Woleott
yesterday, that it would be an easy
matter for the company to lay the
track twenty or thirty miles in any
direction where there is sufficient ore
to warrant"
In conclusion Mr.. Holden added:
Let us all stop with Wickenburg for
it is the ideal place for reduction
works of every description. l am fully
convinced that there is not n better
field in the west than that of Mari
copa and southern Yavapai counties
for investments of every kind whatso-
ever
One item more said Mr.. Holden:
"Mr. Sam Newhouse a millionaire of
Salt Lake City, Utah, has also in
formed me through his manager. Mr..
Alta f. Johnson, of the Boston COnsOl-
idated Mining company, that their en-
gineer will be with me in a short time
to look over the mineral resources of
this section with a view of investing
if he finds anything that suits him."

1t also has a store at Salomie
another at Vicksburg and still an
other at Bouse. This string of stores
is under the management of Mr. Z. S

large commercial interests is well
known. The Wi6kenburg store is
50xG5 feet with basement the same
size. The foundation to the top OF
the basement is of hewn stone
while the remainder is of brick. The
front is plate glass and both floor
and basement are stocked with dry
goods, groceries and light hardware
sufficient for all needs of a growing
town and the mining trade that sur
rounds it.
While talking of merchandising,
there is another of whom the writer
gladly takes notice, and that one is
J. C. Reed. Seven years ago Mr..
Reed opened n small gorcery, to-
bacco and notion store in Wicken-
burg. SO well has he catered to
the wishes of the customers in the
past that today he is enjoying n
prosperous and steadily increasing
business. While closely attending to
his commercial affairs, he has ever
been alert to The chief industry of
this section, mining As a result he
has made several profitable deals all
of which have been for the benefit of
the town. He owns one of the incest
residences in the town and takes n
keen interest in local affairs. For

from his labors to serve the readers
of The Republican weekly with the

sides his home and store. Mr.. Reed
owns other valuable real estate in
the city as well as mining proper

future never grow less.

The Wickenburg Miner, published
every Saturday, Mrs. A. H. Ham
mer, editor, has done much to adj
vance the interests of the town and

AS stated in the beginning of this
article, the agricultural opportunities

land by pumps are demonstrating
that a large acreage could be OBJ
tanned. There are hundreds of acres
of ranch lands along the banks of
the Hassayampa which would make
comfortable homes, as the ranches
of r. A. Roberts, Albert Smith,
Messrs. Daniels and Smith and
others amply testifies. The altitude
of over 1000 feet at this point is
another advantage. The air thereby
is cooler and fresher, and more con-
ducive to the development of fruits
and vegetables than lower attitudes.
Even the hills bordering the river
are productive when once water is
applied, and in reference to the
statement one only has to visit the
ORC Grande mine, five miles above
At ORC Grande, situated about one
mile from the river on rocky peaks,
at an elevation of $500 feet above
sea level, ice has never formed in
the past three winters. Leaves re-
main on the trees and vines per-
petually and flowers are in bloom
every month in the year. Such a
place as this should be the ideal
spot for sanitariums and a realiza
ton of the dreams of the grower of
the grape and other kindred fruits.
In conclusion the writer will add.
that if anyone should become inter-
ested upon reading this article and
