When the train stopped in Salon,
 I was met by a broad wide smile o
 welcome Say, do you know that.

 the broad smile of good fellowship I hope it may always be my portion
 Salome is hot; Salome is warm; 1 but Salome is not the warmest of the warm. There are some others. While enjoying the delightful breezes that fan your perspiring cheeks you for l get to look at the thermometer and with the practice of a little Christian l Science you can imagine yourself as cool as .an ice berg. The dread and suspense before getting your tooth pulled is actually worse than the per formance. I would not swap the pure dry atmosphere of the desert for all the vaunted sO-called ozone of more advertised places. All you have got to do is to get used to it and then you would never apply for divorce if you don't believe me, just try it once. There's been lots doing in this country in the last two weeks, and when I get things strengthened out
 
 readers cannot feel that everybody up here has been waiting until fall to do things Of course they are waiting until fall before undertaking the biggest projects; they always do, all over the desert regions, but at the same time this country is not forgetting the ever-living present.
 Here's a little installment of so- ciety news that goes to show that Salome has its social side as well as its larger sisters. l am indebted to the Republicans society corre- spondent for the following.
 Wednesday morning the inhabi- tants of Salome were reused from their slumbers by the honk of an automobile horn. The midnight vis- itors proved to be T. H. Carrigan and wife of Bouse, who, with a couple of friends had come down to Salome to make an evening call upon Mrs. E. $. Jones. The people of Salome at least know how to enter tain, so a lunch was fixed up in the restaurant and a freezer of ice cream was hastily frozen, which proved ac- ceptable to the parched throats of the visitors. A merry time was enjoyed by all, and they departed promising to come again soon. MT. and Mrs. Barney Quinn and Miss Kittie Knight of Harqua Hala left Thursday morn ing for Los Angeles, where they will spend the summer months
 MT. and Mrs. Algier are back again after a short sojourn in Phoenix They expect to leave for the east some time this month.
 Since my last from Salome, Colonel John W. Sharpe. of Phoenix, has purchased the now celebrated Little Butte property, and it is the concen- sus of opinion among mining men that he has made a splendid buy. The eyes of the country are on this ground and there's many a man who heartily hopes that the Little Butte will live up to its splendid reputation. Percy Sharpe, the colonelS son, who has been located at the Salome Hill side property as superintendent, leaves this week to take charge of the Little Butte during his ab- sence Roy TroXel will be in charge of the Salome Hillside camp. I am going to Winchester again in a few days and from the flattering reports from there I expect to see lots of work done on the ground. I visited four or five weeks ago and plenty of new first class prospects. In a little That I had with Percy Sharpe soon after my arrival he seemed to be most sincerely impressed with the fact that the Salome Hillside prop erty was fast making a mine. l be- lieve that he is right. I base my con- clusion entirely on the different class of rock he has shown me at differ ent times that came from the hole they are sinking. As l read rock, the last piece of rock I saw spells a quick strike. I believe that in less than twenty-five feet more of depth he will strike enormously rich gold ore Let's wait and see. The Salome Hillside in the main shaft is thirty two feet deep and has four feet of ore, and they commenced on about one foot Their average assay at present is $6SO in gold and per cent copper. They are still sinking and have two shifts at work con They are also working two shifts on their tunnel.
 I met two other pleasant gentlemen the other evening who have been talk ing in Parker. and stopped in Sa- lome for a few days. They were Judge J. H. Langston, of Phoenix, and George $. Rogers, of Los Angeles. ! They hired conveyance and took in some of the mines between Salome and Winchester, and in going over the Calcite ground they formed a nigh opinion of the possibilities of that property and believe the country in general to be a good mining sec | ton They also believe in the future / of Parker. They represent the Ma .ional Telephone company and at | present do not care to give much ! news about their operations, but it S safe to predict that it won't be | ong before the mines of the district l can be hollering, Hellol Central ] They do admit, however, that they | nave met with much encouragement | and feel assured that this field will | prove a good dividend payer for their | inc of business.
 In speaking of the prospects for | Parker, Judge Langston said the rail- 'oad cut off from Parker to the main | inc of the Santa Fe at Bengal will | lelp this whole country immensely. | He was assured that the road will |
