EXTRA TRAIN SERVICE
 ON THE 4. s [.
MIR. MURPHY AND PARTY MAKE
 A STUDY OF NEEDS.
His Impressions of the Present and Future of That Region.

Messrs. F. M. Murphy. w. A. Drake and P P. Hastings returned yesterday afternoon from a trip along the A. & c road making a study of conditions with reference to putting on an extra train service on that line. The com pany has for some time been consid- ering that in view of the increasing freight and passenger traffic. Moth ing has however so far been definitely decided upon.
 Mir. Murphy and party visited the bonanza country and made as much of an investigation of it as the conditions permitted. They were at the Glory Hole whence so much fabulously rich ore has been taken but there is noth ing now to be seen there. Either all the wealth in sight has been extracted or covered with rock but the fact that it was found there amid the most un promising signs leads one to conclude that there is no reason to believe that hundreds of similar finds could not be made in that region.
 There are a great many people in the country and all of them have con fidence in the future of it. That the ] rich in mineral has all along been known and these finds which have been recently made has attracted scores of prospectors so that but for the summer now coming on there is little doubt that many other finds would result.
 It is the opinion of MT. Murphy that the future of the country lies in its immense copper deposits. the copper usually carrying a great deal of gold. All that is needed now is development and that will not be long delayed. The activity thereabouts will be greatly increased on the completion of the A 6 C. to Bengal when the country will be less inaccessible than it is at pres ent.
 Mir Murphy believes that in the early fall or as soon as labor may be employed on construction work to ad- vantage operations will be commenced on a road north from the A. X C. to the Clara Consolidated or the Planet and another south for distance of forty miles from BOuse or some ad- jacent point.
 At various stations along the line Mir. Murphy and party heard of great deal of rich ore that had been brought in, the character of the rock being suggestive of large coppe- de- posits and much of it rich in gold.
 MT. Murphy on returning to Phoenix met F.. E. Gage who brought good re ports of operations at Tombstone and Imperial especially of conditions at the latter camp. A big air compressor has been ordered for work on the 1000 foot level at Tombstone. Mir. Gage said that some very rich ore had lately been encountered on the 800 foot level at Tombstone rich in gold aIH silver, remindful of the ore that was found there in the early days and which had made that camp famous throughout the world In his opinion a few months ought to demonstrate that there is something worth while there and he believed that the faith of the operators would be justified and that their labors and great expenditures would be amply rewarded.
 Mir Murphy will leave this morning for Castle Hot Springs. He will be met at the junction by an architect who will accompany him to the springs and look the ground over in prepara- tion for further improvements which Mir Murphy will make at that resort this summer.
 Mrs. Marjorie Russell of "The Earth" who has just returned. weary from a trip to the Roosevelt dam will also go to the springs this morning for a rest of several days.
