JOPLIN ENGINEER ENTHUSED.
Ed Hedburg, a mining engineer of
Joplin, Mo, spent yesterday in Phoe-
nix and left last night for the east in
tending to stop off at Deming en- route.
Mr.. Hedburg has been in the Parker
country for some time examining pro-
perties for English capitalists with
whom FL Paso and Deming men are
associated. It was Mr.. Hedburg's first
visit to Arizona, but it viii not be his
last. He told a friend he met in
Phoenix yesterday that he was simply
amazed at the mineral showing in
western Arizona and that he had been
carried away with the country,
Notwithstanding .he rather strenuous
temperatures of summer time. He said
that henceforth the lead and zine fields
Of Missouri would no longer hold at
fractions for him. He is billed for
ATZOUd, WIFI GnOenlN as MIN nome,
just as soon as he can arrange TO come
west to reside. He believes that the
Parker section will some day be as
thickly spotted with big mines as a
red headed summer girls face is with
freckles.
TALLY ONE MoRE.-Frank Luke
yesterday received. another one of
those regular biennial dispatches from
Ocean Park, for which he keeps the
general form standing with only the
date line and one word in blank That
word when filled in indicates whether
it is a boy or girl and this time it is
boy. 1t makes four pairs and a
half. or a total of nine, just one short
of two hands and even the short hand
in this case beats three of a kind. Mr..
Luke was once a republican and even
yet possesses something of the RoOse-
veltian instinct in matters pertaining
to the home circle. He can scarcely
throw any dust in the eyes of Sam
Webb or w. l. Osborn, two old-time
democrats, who contend that Roosevelt
has stolen their principles, but five
boys and four girls is going some for
a young man and ought to insure his
for the office of county
assessor. In few more years he will
be able to pack the convention from
1, 4.
