Most Famous Thoroughfare.
On the morning Of March 81, 1914, a
man Of clerkly appearance might have
been seen standing at the entrance to
the dilapldated fortress Of New Am.
Sterdam with a sheaf Of official papers
IN his hand 1t was not an inviting
prospect which confronted the observer
that raw spring morning, for the
roughly built wooden houses scattered
about the fort looked sadly weather
beaten, and the struggling, Ill made
roads and paths which served as streets
we're Uttered with refuse and rubbish
Of every sort and ankle deep In mud
The man at the fort did not, how
ever, waste much time In gazing at
these discouraging surroundings. They
were familiar to him In every dreary
detail. for CorneIis Van Tienhoven had
been secretary Of the council at New
Amsterdam for many years, and If he
had ever been disturbed by the pre-.
vaillng wretchedness of the town 1t
had long since ceased to afford him
the slightest concern. Slowly turning
his back to the view, he tackled one of
his official documents to the wall Of
the fort and then. swinging about and
picking his way across the mlTy
ground to convenient tree, affixed an
other paper.
Van Tlenhoven's handwriting was
easily read, Indeed. good penmanship
was the only qualification he had ever
displayed for his office. and that virtue
had wholly failed to endear him to the
pOpuace, who hated the very sight OF
his clerical fist The particular notice

There were some forty people present making a very nice crowd. The hall was very oddly il- luminated for the occasion and the phonOgraph music furnished by George Pearson was fine. There were numer- Ous round dances and quadrilles. and Virginia reels. In the square dances the calling out of the figures by George Pearson and Slim Spencer was very amusing. One figure in particular was perhaps a little puzzling to the mar ried ladies and that was where you swung your partner or corners and Spencer would call out, catch your honey. press him hard and swing" There were numerous glances at their husbands bue everything passed off smoothly and every one had the time of their lives.

TEXAS MEN VISIT
 ARIZONA MINES
A Contract Let For Sinking a Shaft
 on the Queen Group.

! Louis Goldman. H. s. Battes and c. H. Moves and son, of Paris, Texas. where they are all engaged extensively in business were among the Phoenix visitors yesterday. having just return ed from a trip of inspection to the : Copper Queen of the Agua Fria claims not far from Mayer. MT Goldman is
 the president of the company which has undertaken the operation of the
 property.
 We have twelve claims in all," said
 MT. Moves yesterday, and they ad-
 join the Stoddard group known as the Bingham property. There is some activity in the district, but the only properties we visited that were work ing was the Stoddard group and the Copper Queen. Our company has not ceased day on account of the finan- cial conditions and in fact we have plenty of money to go ahead and Oper- ate the mine as planned.
 "We have let a contract for the sinking of a new shaft to the 500 foot level and work will begin on it at once. There are over 1900 feet of crOsscuts and tunnelling, a 300 foot shaft, be- sides other small workings on the claims. The ore carries good values in copper and some values in gold. We were very much pleased with the showing so far. Interest in mining is picking up considerably"
 There were eight in the Texas party at the mine. but only these gentlemen came to this city. their mission here being one of pleasure and to look oyer the valley. Mir. Goldman had been here previously, but the other Parisians were strangers to the valley. They expressed themselves agreeably sur prised at the prosperous condition of the country and the extent of the cul- tivated lands. They will carry with them a very favorable impression of Phoenix and the Salt River valley and expect to return later.

ANYONE GAN
 PREPARE THIS
Taking Less Patent and
 More Home Remedies
How to Find Out if the Kidneys Are Inactive and Tells Ot Home Made Rem- edy.

There are more cases of kidney trou- ble here now than ever before while recent reports show that more people succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause. When there is sickness, examine the urine. Rheumatism is only a symp- tom of kidney trouble. It is nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood which the sluggish. inact- i've kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing intense suffering; frequently resulting in deformity; often reaching the heart when death ensues.
 Pains across the back, frequent. painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, head ache pain in the>heart, inactive liver, etc. are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kidneys.
 A simple test of the urine is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morn ing, if there is a reddish brick dust sediment, or white, fleecy substance present either consult some reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment The following prescription is recommended highly in these cases, and the sufferer should mix it at home: Compound Kargon. one ounce; Fluid Extract DandeliOn. one-half ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 Where any of the symptoms enumer- ated above are present. good results are sure to follow immediately the use of this simple prescription.
