Too much importance cannot
be attached to the meeting which
will be held here Monday in the
interest of drainage and good
roads. A notice in regard to
this meeting will be found else
where in This paper. Congress-
man Goodwin has secured experts
from Washington on proper
methods of drainage and also on
the subject of good roads, and it
is to be hoped that all who can
do so will take advantage of the
opportunity to hear these sub
jects intelligently discussed.
There are no subjects of more
importance to Robson county
than drainage and good roads.

It was not too early, said the St. Louisan to agitate preparing a fine eX- hibit to be displayed at Albuquerque next October when the national irriga- tion congress meets,s where it is con fidently stated there will be over 10000 visitors who will be interested in irri- gation. Phoenix could show the fin est line of products in the country, and the chance to show the visitors what the valley can offer should not be ne glected. Ample arrangements will be made to care for Phoenix and the val ley's interests by the Albuquerque peo- pie, he had been assured.
 MT. Yoakum's weight of testimony is noteworthy. and his statement that Phoenix people are not giving adver- Using its proper attention, is altogeth- CT too true. However, such valuable witnesses as MT. Yoakum for the val ley will do much to help the publicity cause in the east. His brother. E. F. Yoakum. is president of the executive committee of the Rock Island and Frisco systems, so that he is indirect ly connected with railroad lines. He will be in the city for few days yet and is a guest of the Hotel Adams.

that the number of cattle on feed in Kansas City territory is limited, and in the hands of experienced operators. who are not easily influenced by mar ket fluctuations. and they are glad to buy freely at present range of prices. Some good Colorados were here last week. and sold at the highest prices of the season, beef steers at S4.25d 4.5O. cows SS25G4IO. a few fancy cows at s4.50, stockers $40. feeders $40. A string of New Mexicos are here; high bred stockers at $40. cows at $2.65m3 3.65. Country demand has been extra good, as the good beef cattle market is encouraging and buy CTS figure that spring is now almost in sight.
 Sheep and lambs advanced p to 40 cents last week. although the supply was fairly liberal at 31.000 head for the week. The run was 10000 for yester- day. with the market strong; top lambs $1.e0. fair to good lambs S6.50M 6.9O. fed yearlings $5.6O66.2O. wethers $4.50G5.25, ewes $i.25d 900. Receipts are running larger than was predicted. possibly at the expense of future sup plies. Buyers are anxious for stuff at all times. and there is little or no mar gin between local and eastern prices.

VALUABLE ASSETS
 CLIMATE AND SOIl
A Prominent St. louisan Believes Val ley Has Not Received the Attention IL Deserves.

Mr. R. D. YOakum. prominent busl-
 ness man Of St. Louis is in Phoenix
 looking over the valley with an eye to | future investments. He came west to
 examine property in New Mexico and l Arizona. The brief time he has spent
 in the cit.' has been consistently de- voted to his mission. Asked last night
 concerning his impressions. he said ! that he was agreeabIy surprised in ev- erything which had been brought to his attention in an agricultural line
 He never in his life saw such evidences of Droductveness, and he was cer- tain that the Salt River valley is the richest and most fertile in the world. He was, too. at loss toFsay which is the most valuable asset
 the climate or the soil. The one was undoubtedly contributory to the worth of the other.
 { While it was true that this is a great region. it is also deplorably a fact that
 it is not well advertised and little known over the United States in the degree it deserves to be known. It was not until he arrived here that he learned that orange orchards flourished here. when. in fact, the best oranges in the world is one of the valleys products. It was also MT. Yoakum's candid opinion that by adding to the number of attractions and facilities for caring for the rich tourists, that the number of annual visitors to this sec ton could be increased to 50.00O. It was up to the Phoenicians to awake to
 their opportunities, he said, and put their shoulders to the wheel.

The Drama Study Class or the Wo-
 mans Club met Thursday morning at the home of Mrs. Jernegen, on Third
 street. Mrs. Whitmore read selections
 from Romeo and Juliette' and Mrs.
 Stanley supplemented her lecture with
 reading from Moliere's "AiisanthrOpe. !" With the next meeting the study of modern drama will begin. Ibsen's Doll
 House" has been selected for study for this coming session.
 There was a lively meeting of the Current Events section of the Woman's club last Monday afternoon. The re-
 view of Sinclairs book. The Divine
 Fire" provoked quite little discussion
 and there was more than one opinion
 in regard to the purpose of the novel. This was followed by attempts to pro- nounce a long list of words copies of which were furnished; and some idea of the fiexibility of the English tongue. as she is spoken, was gained in short time. The remainder of the session
 was consumed in the usual discussion of Current Events.
 Under the guidance of Mrs w. w. Ross, the music section of the Monday club of Prescott, presented a charm ing program composed of thes brilliant
 music of Franz Peter Schubert at
 their last meeting Monday afternoon. It was as follows:

 meeting of the Monday club of the new year was without any item of import ance in it's business session.
 Owing to the absence of the chair man of the civic committee the recom- mendations heretofore tabled were con- tinuea until a subsequent meeting

 In that section are claims that were patented years ago and held for speculation, the owners doing nothing in the line of development work, but waiting till others open up mines in their vicinity, when they will be able to sell their holdings at good price. The present indications are that they will not have to wait much longer. The strikes made in the Santa Ritas during the past year by those who have persisted in the work and have gone to some depth, will soon bring capital into the district that will develop mines; and fortunes will be made as rapidly in the mining districts of Santa Cruz county as they have been made in other great mining dis tricts throughout the world.

early days 0I OerOnlnOs olOouV raids, when the men who worked the mine were driven out by the Indians and never returned to the district. On the mine Is an old shaft, two hundred feet deep, from which the early workers took the high grade silver ore and shipped it. The timbers are now partly routed and the shaft is not in con- dition to enter, but ali about the old dump is rich silver ore, in the form of bromides, chlorides and sulphides. The present owner, Mir. Josiah Bond, has never been to the bottom of the old shaft and will make no effort to do any work in it for the present. He has started a tunnel on the vein in the gulch below, that will cut under the old shaft at d depth of three hundred feet. The tunnel will have 10 be driven about eight hundred feet, but as it will follow the vein in Mr. Bond expects 10 make the ore taken out help pay for the driving of the tunnel. Across the gulch he has started new shaft on another claim of the group, which Is now down 115 feet, on silver lead, in which there is also copper and lead. This shaft he says he will sink one thousand feet. The first three hundred feet will be sunk wilh a whim, after which a hoist will be put ln. He has done con siderable prospecting in test shafts and tunnels on tue group, with en- couraging results. MT. Bond k an experienced miner, who has travelled through many of the big mining districts of the United States and Mexico, managing and inspecting mines for mining companies. He came to Santa Cruz county about three years ago and after spending some time in the Santa RItas decided to locate here. He has built large and comfortable resid- ence on his property, where he makes his home with Mrs. Bond and the children. He has group of twelve claims.
 Another of the antiguas visited by the writer during the week Is the Rosario, now owned by Mir. J. Nj. Hackett. Mir. Hackett has a group of nine claims. He has a shaft down one hundred feet on rich silver vein and is now about to put in a whim to sink the shaft another hundred feet. At the one hundred foot level drifts were run about twenty feet east and west from the shaft, on the vein, show ing good results. In the vein at that depth there is a pay streak about one foot wide, containing silver in it's native form and in the form of sulphides. The ore taken from the shaft and from the drifts has been shipped to El Paso, but on both sides of the shafts all the way down, can he seen the rich pay streak. with chlorides, bromides and native silver, that seem to ooze out of the quartz. Some native copper also is encountered in the pay streak. Some of the sinking and the drifting done at the 100 foot level was done by Mir. Thomas c. Frazer and others, who had a lease on the property and took out and shipped the high grade ore. There are several shafts on the u.n,,n and nna fnnnal in ahont 1h0
