The Arizona Commercial is perhaps the hveliest property, from a market viewpoint, that has existed during these modern days of depression. It is also the keystone of the eastern end of the district, with its two ore producing properties and steadily en- ployed smelter. The Eureka shaft has furnished a lesson to the veak-heart- ed in the matter of meeting and over coming natural difficulties, but beyond a smoothly flowing volume of water that slips down the mountain side there is no evidence at the well order ed plant of the struggle.that has been made against natural forces in the effort to wrest from old Mother Ma ture ths treasure she guards so jeal- ously.
 From the 500 level downward the Eureka shaft has been continual d- tanic struggle to overcome water. Un- til a couple of months ago. the shaft from the 600 level down has been flooded to such an extent that it could not be; held more than even without the great pumping plant that has only recently been installed and that had not yet arrived in Globe. It's installa- tion was watched with keenest inter- est by every mining man in the Globe mining district, and many were the opportunities for adverse critics to urge the point that the above shaft could not be unwatered Maybe ten times in the course of six weeks the six hundred station was cleared of water and depth attained below suf ficient for the lowering of a sinker only to be followed by some of the many mishaps that occur to machin= cry when submerged. It was o1ly when the entire working force of the mine had been concentrated upon the pumping work that the flood was re- dueed to control and placed below the 700 level with a permanent aspect that warranted the opening of that level for exploration of the ore bodies that are now being ctt.
 The nature of the Eureka ore de- posits is of a quality much desired in Globe, containing abundance of iron mixed with it's carbonate ore.
 The 500 level, the 500 and an inter mediate drift from the center of the mine towards the east, all contain this character of ore. and on the lowest level mentioned some rich silver. glance has been encountered. From the 500. old workings leading upward display q body Of perhaps the richest ore iA the mine, extending for at least me of the watches. The rest of the
 The TOO level is hoped by the com Dany to reveal more compact body of mineral and therefore one of great CT commercial value than that thus far explored, because of the lesser amount of rock that will have to be lifted and run through the furnace.
 The Arizona Commercials next most valuable property is the Copper Hill, whence steady shipments have been made since the smelting plant near the Eureka shaft has been blown

hopeful of getting some advance of funds for the purpose Of pushing the work forward; he is also hopeful of being able to have some ruling made by which the payments can be gradR-. ated. making them smaller the first years after the dams are completed and larger in the end There is TO hope of extending the period of pay payments from ten to twenty years.
 "The senators say this would delay the work in other sections and they believe that land that is woHst any thing can afford to pay the cost .E, ten eyars.
 The senators are very much against the attitude of some of the water users who seem to be trying to squirm out of their payments. They say that the sooner the never-do,weils are crushed out the better it will te for all. This is the attitude of the hard headed business men of the diff ferent communities, also they favor en- forcing payments; only the iaggards are asking for time"

 REMARKABLE GOOD SHOWING

in. It's ore bodies have been easier of access. but whether it is as exten- siye an ore deposit as the Eureka re- mains to be seen, its exploration thus far being but a small integer compar- ed with the latter portions of the co1npany's holdings. The character of its orc is the same as that usually encountered in the eastern. CT ifs sure portion" of the quadrangle, and has been of surpassing richness. Ae one place near the surface the face of the east drift was a solid front of ore that Foreman Tom Stafford said averaged over twenty per cent-and it's solid and green appearance bore out his statement From this proper tvs surface workings, much ore was shipped to the Copper Queen srnelter at Douglas. This. however, was be- fore completion of the Arizona Com merciars own reduction plant. and was from only low grade bodies It was shipped mainly because Of the high rate allowed by the southern .smelter for silicious ores, the surface ore of the Copper Hill being unusu- ally heavy in silica.
 The Arizona Commercials two main workings-the Eureka and the Copper Hill-are moving along steadily and the smelter is gradually building a slag dump.

 While I am not in a position to give the name of the property at present. a well authenticated report is to the effect that funds sufficient to guarantee work being carried on for long period, have been secured in the east and work is to start shortly.
 While mnng, with the exception of the Greene Cananea and Cananea Duluth properties. is inactive now. there is a hopeful atmosphere per yading the camp and everyone is oohng to the new year to bring great improvement"

EMPIRE STATE MINE
 PREPARES FOR WORK

Following the raising of $5O.O00 in the east, work Is expected to re commence shortly at the Empire State property, nine miles west of this city, according to Manager o. ". Zane Eighteen men will be put to work within two weeks. A new com pressor has also been ordered and IS expected to arrive soon.
 The compressor, which has o-drill capacity win be set to work driving in the main working tunnel of the property, which was in 800 feet when work was stopped durng the panic of 1907. There is. Mir. Zane states, ! large body of tow grade already open ed up by this working. The tunnel vii be carried three hundred feet further in.
 Later the plans of the company embrace the erection of a coucentrat- ing plant at the mine The first unit, according to present expectations vii nave a capacity of 100 tons . day. The concentrates will then be shipped to either Fl Paso or Douglas for smelting. This portion of the ar engagement, however, has not yet b ssr. completed.
 Another company which receu y came into being in the district west of B:sbee is the Sunny Side Gold an Copper company. The holdings con. sist of six claims about nine miles west of this city and adjoining the Modern companyss ground. Whi.e work done to this time is merely su- perfcial, three holes having been sunk from s to 10 feet, and in each there is good showing, Mir. Zane states. Benjamin Smith, of Utica. N., r., who is now at the property :s the principal stockholder Mir. Smrn will goato Fl Paso in a few days % arrange for a compressor with which to drive a tunnel on the property. This will be the main working of the property for the present.
 Mir. Zane, who is well known as q mining engineer, will be manager of the Empire State and consulting en- gineer for the Sunnyside company.

LONDON AFFECTS MARKET SALE
 AT HOME
iBy Frank J. Graf.)

The selling of stocks in London hai its effect on the market at home. and with the help of the bears the mark; was somewhat demoralized, and stocks were hammered without any support during the greater part of the session. Unquestionably there has been some heavy selling and to days market was an example of an unsupported market. The decision of the sugar trust some time ago has brought out new lignt and this stock alone showed a loss of 6 to points for the day. Amaiga- mated sold down to S4 IS at the close. a decline of 12 points from the high of last weel:. North Butte, Cop per Range, Boston Consolidated and Butte Coal also showed heavy selling, Greene Cananea sold down to II 1-2 Superior and Pittsburg at 16 1-2.

Kansas Insurance AGENTS.


Charles W. Barnes, state insurance
suPeri tendent, has just completed
the tabulation Of the list of insurance
agents authorized TO do business in
Kansas. AT the end Of the year
when all licenses expired there were
l9, 1S9 persons authorized to solicit
insurance in Kansas. During the
previous year the total licenses issued
was 18,40S, These licenses are for
agents for all kinds of insurance CON-
panies, life, fire, hail, accident, burg
larry, casualty and a few other vari.
cites. The state charges each agent
two dollars for a license except TO-
those companies that have higher or
lower rates when a reciprocal fee is
made Every agent must have a

Fourth Dry Farming CONGRESS.

The Fourth Dry Farming Congress
will meet at Billings, Mont, October
rs, q and %, 1909.
The international Exposition Of
Dry Farm Products will be held
during Congress week at BILLINGS
Thirteen western states and territories
two Canadian provinces, Mexico and
Russia will send exhibits.
Seventeen states and ten foreign
countries will have delegates at ,hi.
Congress.
In the west 2OO,OOO,oO0 acres Of
arabic land awaits development BY
Dry Farming methods. Texas has
25,OOO,OOO; Montana, Colorado and
wyoming, 100000; New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Utah. Idaho and Arizona,
over 100000.
Experts estimate that in ten years
every drop of water available for
irrigation will be utilized. For every
acre irrigated there will be so acres
of dry farm land when irrigation
possibilities are exhausted. Expert.
ence shows that non.irrigable land
yields crops averaging 81 per cent
the quantity reaped under irrigation.
10 this land the future homeseeker
must come.
In 1900 dry farm land in the west
averaged fifty cents to $3.50 an acre.
Increased valuation where Dry Farm.
ing has been demonstrated shows
that within ten years this 2OO,OOO,OOO
acres will be held at $40 to $50 an
acre. Dry Farming means an increase
in western land values, at a conserva.
tive estimate, Of approximately five
billion dollars.
The Dry Farming Congress teach.
es how to conserve moisture by N.
telligent cultivation, educates them
IN soil culture and seed selection and
guides inexperienced settlers in
methods that bring them their share
'f the harvest profit. 1t extends the
INIT Of producing area to the limit Of
acreage in arid and semi arid regions
md, therefore, is the keystone upon
which the future prosperity of the
,reat west is established.

BOokMAklNG TEST.
Determining Status of Latonia Jockey
 Club.

Cincinnati, April 12.-Steps were taken today to hasten final adjudication by the Kentucky court of appeals in the test case to determine the status of the La tonia Jockey club, the result of which it is expected will be a decision by that body prior to the opening day of the Latonia spring meeting, May 25.
 An agreement by attorneys on both sides was forwarded to Frankfort to- day providing for advancing the appeal from the decision of Judge Harbeson of the Kenton county circuit court, which held that the Kentucky state racing com mission had acted without authority in revoking the license of the Latonia track because bookmalGng was allowed
 It is expected that the court of last resort will render decision within the next two weeks and upon it will depend whether bookmal5ng will be permitted. or whether the restriction to the pari- mutuels system will apply at Latonia.
