Salome, Ariz., June 3-(Special
 Correspondence of The Republican)-
 As a fellow once said I'm back
 agin." I have been down to Phoenix
 for a while to recuperate after a
 slight indisposition and incidentally
 to see John L. Sullivan and listen to
 the bridge orators. I had a fine old
 time and I can conscIentiously recom-
 mend Phoenix as a great health re-
 storer, all reports to the contrary
 notwithstanding. Well, as I was say
 ing, I'm back again, and you can
 gamble your honest dollars that I've
 got to get a hustle on me to keep
 the good news of this country from
 swamping me. literally burying me,
 before l can get my pen to indite the accumulated experimentation We'll, as l said before and it is well that I realize that it is so, I've got to hustle;
 hustle good and hard; roll up my sleeves and proceed to tell you how it happened.
 On the way back to Salome I stop ped over in Wickenburg. It's plain to those who can read on the run that Wickenburg has got some pretty live ones on her hands. You can look past the saloons and see the hum of real industry. She is adding a house here and a house there and it takes us outsiders to see the differ ence in her growth. Just keep your eye on this little city, in the vale of the Hassayampas and in the pano- rama of the coming years another metropolis will be added to the com monwealth of Arizona. Stretching out across miles of uninhabited country that in time will be the mecca of many Q homeseeker, and between the mineral laden Harqua Halas and Harcuvars We come to Wenden.
 You know almost as much about Wenden as I do, but let me tell you right now that I am going to learn a whole lot more about that section than I have learned. I found something out recently that made me sit up and take notice. Wenden is a sly old fox. She's been saving wood and saying nothing. Her still waters run deep. She's surely got the min eral all around her, and the boys back in the hills they say are digging like fury.
 The ides of another March will not pass before the blasts from Wenden will be heard round the world. Keep your eye on Cunningham Pass and your ear to the news telephone and you will see and hear something big this fall Those fellows in there mean business. I had the pleasure to meet a well known citizen of Wen den the other day. He was Judge M. F. Joseph, who is interested in mines in Arizona, and a notary pub lie The judge was my fellow traveller a part of the way to SalOme and he is every whit as much of an optimist as I am. He was brim full of enthusiasm over the possibilities of Arizona, and especially of the whole region from the Hassayampas to the Colorado. Of course I said me, too, Pete.
 I also met another gentleman on 1 the way up who was going to Bouse, l where he lives; a Mir. R. R. Bliss. ! He is another legitimate booster of ] everything that has good premise l for the belief in Arizona He was a | man after my own heart. He said | what he meant, and meant what he [ said I would believe him in most | matters, and if I was from Missouri, l in the others, I believe he could | show me His praise of Arizona I knew to be just and whenever a ! fellow forgets to knock and tells the | truth he can bank on my humble sup i port and the warm heart, glad hand, i etc. MT. Bliss is associated with V. | E. Duncan and J. E. Myers in a | group of three claims south of the i old Yellow Bird property, and some i old day I'm going over there and . see what they have got. They also | own some property several miles from . Vicksburg On the Fuller and Fuller . No. 1 they have surface assay of | $96O.
