In Arizona. our employers require healthy people for their assistants. It costs money to live and the patient coming to a strange land. amongst strange people. should be provided with full purse It will cost no less than $50 per month for room and board. Six months will not effect a permanent cure. There have been. in days gone by. tourists emigrate into Phoenix for their health. who were penniless and were objects of much pity to our people. as they soon be- come objects of charity, and later are buried in the potter's field at the ex- pense of the county. I do not wish to discourage any good people from com ing to Arizona in search of their health. but l do want to impress the necessity of your people being well provided with funds. as such provision is just as necessary for the recovery of the health of the patient as the healing qualities of the air. The pa- tient must have pure food, properly prepared plenty of fresh milk and eggs, and all of these things cost money.
 In conclusion. desire to state that the Glasgow News must be an ex- tremely popular paper in your country. Since the first article on this subject by MT. Wilson, I have received no less than ten inquiries from in and around Glasgow: all of them mention your paper with very kindly feeling. have also received letters from the de- partment of the interior at Washing ton, D. C.. as well as from the secre- tary of state of Arizona. Your people have written the above departments on the question and communications have been referred to me for atten- tion.
 I take pleasure in enclosing to you also some advertising matter of the Salt River Valley, of which Phoenix is the metropolis. Our city has about 1s.000 people, surrounded by an agri- cultural country of 3,000.O0O acres of the most fertile land that lays out of doors. We are now building an irri- gation system under the supervision of the United States government at cost of six millions of dollars. In the event that you see fit to publish this communication, I will consider it a great favor if you will kindly forward me a copy of your paper in which this communication is published.
 Tn final conclusion I desire to state. through you, to your people that I will take great pleasure and consider it a favor if they will write me their individual wants and I will spare no pains in doing for them whatever Is within my power to do.
 Very respectfully,

FOR THE BENEFIT
 OF BRITISH READERS
Letter Sent to the Glasgow News on the Subject of Arizona's Climate.

A few days ago mention was made of a number of letters received by Secretary Cowgirl of the board of trade. from Scotland. concerning the climate of Arizona as cure for con- sumption, and copies of the Glasgow News in which some very eXtravagant statements had been made in behalf of Arizona. Following is a copy of a letter sent by MT. Cowgirl to the News that somewhat explains the situation for the readers of that newspaper:
 Phoenix, AriZ., March If, 1908. The Glasgow News,
 Glasgow. Scotland.
 Gentlemen:-We are informed by MT Boyd Wilson of 22 Royal Exchange Square that your paper is interested and has been giving a great deal of time and space to the study of con- sumption. Mir Wilson is an entire stranger 10 us. He has sent us copies

and are still in delicate health. Many of them. however, live to a ripe old age and die of some other disease As stated before, I believe there is no place on earth that the patient affect ed with Consumption has even an equal chance of recovery with those located in Phoenix
 There is another side to this ques- tiOn and one that the loved ones of the patient should not overlook. Employ ment for those affected with consump- tion Is practically out of the question.
Arizona republican., 1908-03-16

of your paper of February I2 IA and 17 in which he, with others, has en- tered upon a general discussion as to the merits of the climate of Arizona for those affected with consumption Promptly upon receipt of Mir. Wilson's letter under date of Feb. 18th. I imme- diately wrote him, stating the facts as they actually exist and sent him q booklet
 I regret to state to you that Mir Wilson has been erroneously informed as tO the healing qualities of our at- mosphere. There is no question hut what Phoenix. Arizona. United States of America. is the most healthful city in the world and more patients recov- CT from consumption here than all the rest of the world put together. We believe in stating the truth in all cases and under all pressure. We do not claim nor guarantee to cure cases of consumption. We believe. however, that 90 per cent of those affected with consumption will recover if they come to our healing atmosphere before the disease had a strong hold on them-in other words, as soon as they know they are affected, they should come at once. forthwith and without delay. as time is most precious to that patient and as soon as the disease is firmly set. there are but little hopes of his recovery. There is no well man living today with a portion of only one lung left, as stated in Mir. Wilson's article. We have cases here where the affection has been standing for a great many years. Some of our business men are so af- fected and We have people who are time residents who came here for their health, being affected with con- sumption and who have, to all intents and purposes fully recovered. While others have allowed the affection to grow upon them before coming here

considerable enthusiasm among the corn
raisers of this section. Although the
prizes are liberal, being for the best
six ears of corn $40, for the second best
So, for the third best 50 so, there seems
to be more to the contest than Just
these prizes, judging from the interest
shown and the number of entries al
ready made. And it should he so. All
raisers Of corn should bring in six ears
of their corn for exhibit, even though
they do not expect to take prize to

teresting as possible and to show the
corn this section Of the country raises.
Bring your entries in for exhibit before
5 O'Clock, Oct. 20, 1908.

Oct. "a, 1908, and in the afternoon Of
the same day, Prof. Moore will give an
interesting and instructive lecture on
corn growing. Everyone interested in
corn is cordially invited to attend the
lecture.
Prof. Moore informs us that they
have recently had a corn contest at
Madison for Dane county and reports
the largest exhibit ever shown in the
state, there being about one thousand

best in the state, but as good as any in
the entire country.

HIGH GRADE At
TRINITY PEAK
Fabulous Riches Uncovered
Near the Surface.
Important Strike Is Made In the Trim
lily District and Big Rush Is 0n-..-
Trial Shipment Of Three Tons Is
Sent to the Smelter.

No little excitement was caused
last Saturday when the announcement
was made that fabulously rich gold
strike had been made in the old Trim
ity district some IL miles north of
Lovelock. The strike had a stimu-
lating effect on fortune seekers" in
Lovelock and Sunday nearly eyerv
available rig was pressed into service
by those going to the new find. Not
only did a big crowd go out on Sun
day but every day since miners and
prospectors have been going to the
new Eldorado. A number of the pill
grims have returned and those seen
by the newspaper man confirm the
big strike and say it has the
earmarks of developing bonanza
camp.
G. B. Bishop. who with A. G. and
7. c. Bishop are credited with maxi
ing the new strike, was in Lovelock
Wednesday, having come in to look
after 3-ton trial shipment from the
Bishop property.
In an interview with Mr.. Bishop it
was learned that ledge measuring
fully five feet in width had been
opened at the surface, and that values
running all the way from 500 to
several thousand dollars per ton had
been obtained. The highest values
came from a small striuger running
through the main lead. Out of eight
samples taken an average assay of
$53. .l3 was returned, the lowest assay
being $4.l0 while the highest was
$209l3.
For surface showing" continued
Mr.. Bishop, the strike at Trinity
surpasses any | have yet seen, and
from the present showing firmly be-
lieve that the new find will develop
into a steady producer. The ship
ment just brought in, consisting of
three tons. was taken from two diff
ferent cuts on the ledge. This ore
will either be sent to the Salt Lake
or San Francisco smelters and will be
thoroughly tested as to the best mode
of treatment"
Mr.. Bishop has had several loads of
lumber sent to his property and says
that he will erect living quarters. an
Office and blacksmith shop and make
elaborate preparations for extensive
development work.

greatly increased their working
forces and | am told that men will be
added from time to time until all
vacancies are filed"
In speaking of the operations on
the Tom Boy property, Mr.. Jordan
said that the tunnel had been driven
in for distance of 425 feet. At
this point the black basaltic dixie was
encountered, and while no values
were looked for as yet the entire
breast of the tunnel averages better
than $4 Is in gold to the ton. The
formation is identical with that
found in the producing mines of the
Seven Troughs district and the man.
agement is confident that when the
dixie is penetrated further sensational
values will be found.
Mr.. Jordan stated that English &
George, operating a lease on the
Badger claim of the Fine Gold group,
uncovered high grade values in new
place this week. The new strike is
near the surface and consists of a
three foot ledge, all of which is of a
good shipping grade. Four inches
lying next to the footwall of the vein
is extremely rich and assays into the
thousands. The owners intend open
ing up the new find and it is likely
they will start new shaft.

automobiles to Vernon, Farrell,
Seven Troughs and Mazuma. Tues
day evening and Wednesday morning
will be spent in looking over the big
mines and inspecting the district
generally.
The party will then return to Love-
lock, arriving here about 6 o'clock in
the evening. An elaborate program
is being prepared by the Lovelockers
for the entertainment of the visitors.
A banquet will be rendered them at
the Northern cafe, at which time
speech-making, getting acquainted
and general joy-msking will be in
dulged in. The public in general
is invited to attend the banquet and
the committees in charge are de-
sirous of having as many present as
can conveniently do 80.
The Lovelock delegation has asked
the Reno members to prolong their
visit to this section, as the time al
lotted will be largely taken up in
going to and from the mining camp,
thus preventing a thorough inspec-
tion of the properties. In letter
received yesterday it was stated that
an effort would be made to prolong
the visit another day.
After visiting Lovelock and Seven
Troughs the party will 90 to Golcon-
da. Gold Circle and Winnemucca, and
on their return trip will spend few
hours in the new Jessup district.

Prominent Operator
Predicts Prosperity

J. M. Fairfield, the well-known
mining engineer, who has interests
in the Seven Troughs and other big
districts in Nevada, was in Lovelock
yesterday on his way to Vernon
where he will remain indefinitely look
ing after his interests. Mr.. Fairfield
has been absent some six months and
during that time he visited San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara,
Cal, Goldfeld, Rawhide and Fairview.
Mr.. Fairfield speaks very highly
of the future prospects for Nevada
and says that Notwithstanding the
fact that 1908 is an off year and
that a great deal of attention is be-
ing paid to politics. capitalists and
investors are keeping an eye on the
mining industry in this state. Monied
men along the coast, particularly,
show deep interest in the various
camps and altogether the future out
look is exceedingly bright.
