 mine where ore of this kind has been
 met with. Junction is shipping ore regularly to the smelter and will soon
 have much more to send. It has a
 large territory upon which no work
 has been done and that gives surface indications, as well as adjoining under ground signs that are exceedingly
 favorable. The Denn, located close to the outward boundary of the Junc- tion, has oxide ores at 1000 feet from surface, and has recently resumed operations It is evidently on top of it's ore.

It is about the worst case of shrink age. or imitation, in the copper list. The fact that it has ore proves the Bisbee ore-holding formation extends long way farther than the Juction shaft, several thousand feet interven- | ing all in Junction territory. It cer- tainiy is very satisfactory explora- 1 ton for Junction.
 New Ore at Cole Shaft.
 The Cole shaft is developing ground l that the geologists believe to lie ! little to one side of the run holding the shafts we have above enumerated. [ If so, then there must be another chan i nel to be developed. For some months ! openings have been made to the south west of the Cole following vein. or lead of ore 6 to 10 feet thick heading | in that direction. Recently several cross faults carrying narrow seams of
 ore were encountered, and few days
 ago, at the intersection of the long
 narrow vein and one of the cross veins
 the miners ran into what now appears
 to be very large body of ore of high | grade grade. The local management
 is very enthusiastic over this recent discovery, it being in an entirely new
 section from any heretofore given ar- tention. MT. Gerhing, geologst for
 the company believes this ore depos-
 it will prove a highly important one,
 ager, MT. Powell.
 | Out in this country the White
 Tailed Deer claim produced consider
 able ore from surface croppings, and
 surface indications are promising for ore at deptn. The Cole smart opera | tions are still some distance nearer the recognized big ore channel than the claim mentioned showing there is
 yet much virgin territory to be looked
 into in this direction.
 As Mir. Walter Douglas aptly ex- presses it, the territory embraced in
 the Bisbee ore-bearing measures has
 as yet been only merely scratched.

I .reme mber when boy reading that Cyrus the Great enunciated this maxim: There can be no govern ment without an army; there can be no army without money; there can be no money without agriculture" have often thought, and still think, that he was wrong in one particular. There can be neither Q government, an army nor agriculture, without money. IL is as important to gather the riches underlying the surface of the earth as to gather the riches that protrude from the earth's surface. The miner has been in every age as indispensable to civilization as the agricuIturist In the early dawn of history. in the days of Abraham, gold and silver were the mediums of eX- change. for We read in Genesis that Abraham refused the gift of the cave of Machpeiah as a burying place for his family. and paid Ephron, the Hittite. 100 shekels of silver, its val uat,on in the current money of the merchant. Agasn we read of the first international srsda accorded. when Jacob sent his sons into Egypt to buy coron. They were provided with money t1 pay for it.
 A careful reader of history cannot fail to discover that when money gold and silver, was plentiful throughout the commercial world. prosperity was at full tide. When solomon built the temple to the LiV- ing Cod. the house of Lebanon and the house for himself and the house for his wife. Pharoah's daughter, his kingdom was the richest known upon the earth. The fleets of Hiram, king of Tyre. and of Solomon. made trips every three years. bringing back freights of god, precious stones and salces. and Solomon made silver as nlentiful as stones in Jerusalem. All inc then civilized world shared in this prosperity. Jerusalem being the mecca of nations, farther advanced in wealth and general prosperity than all otn- CTS. Arabia, Egypt and all surround ing nations shared in this prosperity; Every year we are told they brought to Jerusalem large quantities Of silver and carried away the products of that country.
 Egypt advanced her prices upon ehariots>to 600 shekels of silver. and upon horses to 15o shekeis and the

whom ne took into his confidence and who was devoted to him under all circumstances. NegICes naturally form an affinity with all dark races. and while the white man and the Mo jave Apache were at dagger's points Uncle Ben roamed the desert with the Indians on hunting expeditions.
 On one o these occasions an Indian gave Uncle Ben q handful of speci- mems from what he described as a great ledge of gold few miles north of the Peoples cabin, which enters the Santa Maria about fifteen miles above the mouth of Big Sandy.
 Your contributor handled and ex- amined the specimens. which consist ed of white quartz, approximately half gold as regards bulk. A ton of it would be worth little less than half n.of pure gold. These specimens can be found in Phoenix. today.
 Under the instructions of Mir. Pee ples, Uncle Ben made two trips with two different Indians to the mouth of the canyon. In both instances the Indians took different and circuitous routes to avoid the observation of the other members of their tribe and brought up at the same Identical spot where they told Uncle Ben that they dared not go luther, but that in two hours ride, approximately eight miles, pointing out the director and describing the ground, he would find the place Uncle Ben never found the ledge Afterward he and MT. Peoples made two trips to the same locality, but without success.
 Subsequently, what is known as the , Placeritas a few miles south of the Hillside mine was discovered and ' $500, 900 taken out in a few weeks. the gold evidently being the result ! of the deposit which the Indains | had described.

observation is that the company is willing to take few chances in ex- tending it's service to mining districts within its reach.
 It has invested many millions in it's mines, smelters and railways. ans has also put large amount of money in mercantile establishments for the better accommodation of its employees and others residing in the communi- ties where 1t Is active. It has pro- vided public gymnasiums. hotels and liberally assisted in all matters tend ing to the comfort. health. and gen eral uplifting of those about it. Its general manager of mines and asso- ciate industries, MT. Walter Douglas. is gentleman of high attainments who has won great success in his i'm portant undertakings and well merits the great esteem in which he is held.
 The Copper Queen mines of Bisbee are better physically than ever before. can produce more copper if the mar ket requires than at any past time in their history. having developed large ore reserves and holding big acre age as yet unexplored. MT. Douglas has great faith in the future of Bis bee. and surely there is no more com petent judge. he having been associ- ated with it actively for nineteen years.
 Much Ground to Be Opened. In conversation with Mir. Douglas that gentleman said Bisbees mineral ground had thus far been merely scratched. He gave it as his opinion that Superior & Pittsburg would prove to be one of the greatest cop. per mines in the country, it having very large and well located terri | tory. He had visited some of it's underground workings and found them rich in copper. with by far its greatest area as yet untouched. The conditions were favorable and the result certain. He very modestly re ferred to his own mines as being just fully started with very many years work ahead.
 Pleasant Business Relationship.
 Between the Copper Queen inter cle" group, the latter composed principally of Lake Superior region people, a most kindly feeling prevails. Recognizing the newcomers as min CTS of a legitimate and enterprising kind the management of the older company gave them a cordial Tecep- ton. It was mutually agreed that in mining the ores each should observe vertical lines. and ignore the apex law. valid in Arizona, as in nearly all western states and territories. This was plainly in the interest of har' mony and progress. and clearly proved the confidence each imposed in the other.
 The advantages of harmonious op eration such as exists at Bisbee be tween these principal active, legiti' mate land it is well to emphasize the qualitative word). concerns. is of the greatest value to both.
Bisbee daily review., 1909-05-02

It Is always a pleasure to visit Bisbee. Arizona. The city shows so much of thrift and enterprise, so much of faith in it's future. and so heartily and Loyalty endorses and supports every progressive movement that it is real enjoyment to talk to its people, to view their handiwork and to in spect the great emines that give them the sole excuse for their presence here.
 Has Many Valuable Improvements.
 During an absence of two years Bisbee has greatly improved its prin- cipal thoroughfares, covering portions of them with vitrified brick, others with rock macadam. has erected many new store and residence build ings, has now a splendid street car system. and is constructing a con- crete subway for discharging the storm water which occasionally comes down the gulch in which the town IS located, in great volume.
 The city is improved from san itary point of view, and it has made great strides morally, abolishing gambling. bar maids and other prac- tices formerly indulged in and char acteristic of nearly all western min ing cites. Bisbee was no worse than other places, whereas it now is much better than many. It has a population of fifteen thousand com posed of well dressed, well behaved. industrious people. It boasts good schools and churches, the crack rifle team of the west, a winning ball club and a golf course with a fine coun- try club
 Copper Mines Are Substantial.
 Bisbee is now producing copper ores that yield about eleven millions pounds of blister copper monthly, and it will considerably increase this output whenever the market demands. It is not crowding work in the mines. but taking advantage of a full to . open new ground, improve equip ments. and make preparation for the better markets which will surely come. Bisbee mining methods are in keeping with the best work done in other fields. equipments of machin- cry and pumps are high-grade and the smelters, located at Douglas, twenty-six miles distant are modern and of high efficiency.
 Copper uQeen the Pioneer.
 The Copper Queen Mining com pany has been active in Bisbee about thirty years. IL has d splendid record for this long term. Its work has been along legitimate lines and it's reputa- ton is not smirched with manipula- tion of it's stock. so often .clouding the history of mining and other or ganizatiols. It has been a close cor poration. giving the pubfc no ac- count of its dividend achievements, but of late it has reorganiZed bring ing into one company many subsidia- rie.s. has increased it's former capi- talization and continues to divide it's profits in gratifying amounts to it's shareholders.
 Has Won Great Victories.

From this initial modest beginning very i'm portant railway system has resulted. and additions are still in progress in this region whenever and wherever conditions appear to warrant, and our

INTEREST
IS FAST REvIvING

Interest in the inter-island cricket
game between Oahu and Maui, which
takes place a week from today at Ka-
hului, is growing apace. 1t will be the
first time that the Honolulu Cricket
Club have sent an eleven away for
four years, on which occasion they
went to Maui and won a game there.
Two years previously a II. c. c..
eleven visited Hawaii and played
match at Kohala, winning somewhat
easily.
