THE ALAMO PROPERTY SOLD
cFrom Tuesdays Daily)

The Alamo property, in the Catalina foothills. about fifteen miles north of Tucson, has been sold to W. H. Ster- ling, a New York capitalist. It was owned by Maud G. Thomas and James Esthan of Tucson. Sterling announced that a double compartment shaft will be sunk without delay, to 300 feet, and drifts and erosscuts run to explore thoroughly the property. It has been found that the 7OO-foot level strike in the mines of the Tombstone Consoli- dated at Tombstone, extends below the sOO-foot level, and it is believed to go below the 1000, to which depth the shaft has already been sunk, and from which a erosseut will be made later. This vein was struck 200 feet below the water level.

GAVE CREEK STRIKE
 IN BEN HUR MINE
Fortune Awaits Owners Stockholders
 Gleeful
CFrom Tuesdays Daily

Reports have been coming in from Cave Creek during the last few days of a "strike" made in the Ben Hur mine, says the Arizona Gazette. The Ben Hur is located about thirty miles north of Phoenlx and a mile and a half westerly from Cave Creek station, on one of the best sites for aeeessibil- ity and economy of operation in the district. It was located by John os- born, aa old resident of the territory, and well known locally as an authority on practical prospecting, by which is meant the location and development of actual ore bodies and not "poekets. "
 MT. Osborn is a large stoeknolder in the Ben Hur company and has always been a firm believer in the future of the property. Under his direction a tunnel was commenced on the proper ty some time ago to cut the ledge and prove the permaneney of the body at depth. This tunnel was subsequently abandoned, owing, perhaps, to the us- ual reluctance of stockholders to "stay with" a prospect, until this winter when C.M. Clark and associates secured a large block of stock in the company and renewed work on the tunnel. One of the stockholders has this to say of the present situation at Ben Hur:
 "The reported strike at the Ben Hur means simply this: We com meneed work on the tunnel several months ago and have struck the ledge at a distance of about 36O feet from the tunnel opening and depth of about 22O feet from the surface or apex of the ledge. We did this on the advice of MT. A. N. Thomson, consult ing engineer for the Shasta Consoll- dated Mines Company, of California, who acted in that capacity for us in sone of our modest efforts to help along the development of properties m this vicinity. notably the Mazatlan Cop per Company property about sixty miles northeast of here. MT. Thom
 s judgment was that the ore body was a permanent one and that equally as good values would be found when the tunnel cut the ledge as were found on tn surface. This proved to be tho case. We cut the ledge last week and are now ten feet in ore, with the foot wall not yet in sight. The few assays that have so far been made indicate conclusively that if thorough sam
 bling of the lodge for its entire widtf when the tunnel is driven to the fool wall shows values equal to or approx
 imating the sampling so far made, tho Ben Hur will be a money maker. MT Clark left for the east Monday night in the interests of this enterprise anC we are hoping to make a real mine oi the Ben Hur in a short time

WORK OF LOCAL ARTIST

It is with much appreciation of its splendid merit that the Journal-Miner acknowledges the receipt of a litho- graphic picture in colors of the Grand Canyon made from original wax cray on drawings by Jules Baumann of this city. The exquisite eolOring and exact perspectives of this bewildering spec tacle proves the author to be an artist of exceptional ability. Accompanying the map is a short sketch of the Can yon by Charles Dudley Warner, also one by c. A. Higgins. There are two pictures of the canyon, showing diff ferent views, and they make splendid souvenirs to send to eastern friends. They are on sale at all the Harvey houses and at newsstands and curio stores.

Minority leaders frequently hit the nail on the head. This was strikingly illustrated in the position assumed by Champ Clark when he said that the right way to prevent a deficit was to cut down expenses. But while this statement was forceful, the aforesaid nail night have been driven home and clinched if Mir. Clark had been suf- ficiently specific and indicated just where these cuts snould be made. The enormous expansion of the various ap- proppriation bills that were responsible for the present deficit was created as much by the Democrats as by the Re publicans, the former invariably vot- ing for any measure that would benefit their financial or economic interests.

ARIZONA ON THE MOTHER
 LODE"

Taere are many, in fact the major Sty of expert miners and mining en- Eineers, who believe in the continuity of the Hmother lode" and aseTibe sxeA new discovery iR the Pacific states to that great gold belt of which the Gonstock was the bonanza. Comment ing on this hypothesis the Mining Re cord of Colorado says:
 Early in the history of Southern Ne rada's boom the fantastieal map mak- CTS, who understood the art of making mineral belts stand out over miles up- sn miles of territory, succeeded Tn aopine out mother lode running all 4he way from the Comstock country to the southern angle of the state, par alleling the border that dips to the southeast along the edge of California. Somewhat the same principle was fol lowed in laying out lucky horseshoe at Goldfeld as the sure area of bonan- ga ore. There is always something in these things, if we subtract some of the imagination and instinct for straight lines, for is it not true that the strikes at Goldfeld have followed curve after the manner of at least one side of horseshoeg And is it not a fact that a string of camps, extend ing over a wide belt, runs in a south easterly direction from the Comstoek lode to the inverted apex of Nevada
 IL is of this belt that we are speak ing when we refer to the projection of Nevada's mineral country into Ari zona. Kingman is in this projection and Salome falls within the trend also Kingman is a very old mining center but what about SaIome? To those who haven't heard already, this is th' point where they are taking out or' that is hardly ore at all, in the GUS tomary sense, but almost solid gold Fitz-Mac vouches for the three biggest assays-$IIS,OOO, $254,OOO and $33s, 900. Figures do not lie, and we have never caught Fitz-Mac doing it. H. told a very true tale of Ely, Nevada and such men as Thomas F. Cole tool the earnest tip.
 Speaking very seriously, there i every reason in the world why riel finds should be made in the Colorado River country, just as there is ever! reason to expect rich strikes in thu newly-opened section of northwestern Colorado, where the Moffat railroad now runs. A wilderness without rail roads and scarcely trodden by the foo of man cannot be expected to give uI its wealth unattended. That mas beer the trouble with large part of west ern Arizona. But that trouble is being conquered by the railroad builder anC the prospector that will go anywhere with the slightest encouragement. Th' encouragement is at hand, and the re suit, in a country like the Colorado River region, is as natural as that thu square of the hypothenuse should equa the sum of the squares of the othe two sides should equal the sum of tn, squares of the other two sides of ; r;ght-angled triangle. Geology is no the exact science, but it can tell us few very important things.

GOLDEN TREASURES STILL GREATER
 LURE Amazing Discoveries In The Salome
 Region
,From Tuesdays paIly1

Prescott people are asleep and do not appreciate the great mineral possi- bilites of the country tributary to the Arizona 6 California railroad," said Herman Voge, who arrived home yes terday morning from a visit to the new strike in the Harcuvsr mountains near salome, to a Journal-Miner repre- sentative.
 "No description yet written of the new strike does it justiee,'' he de- elared. ''It impressed me as being a quarry rather than a mine. One has to see it to become impressed with it's possibilities. It appears to be a de- posit rather than ledge in place. l am satisfied that it is destined to de- velop into a great gold producer.
 "Five carloads of exeursionists from Phoenix visited Salome Sunday. Pnoe- nix people are Aocking into the Sa- lome district while the residents of Prescott appear to take little interest in the new find, the richness of which has astonished the country.
 "One boulder weighing nearly a ton was shot down with a blast while was there every piece or which, when broken, showed free gold plainly visi- ble to the naked eye. The rich ore is scattered through the deposit, all oi which carries values in the yellow met al. Development of the find is being rushed but operations are interfered with by the large number of people focking to see the startling discovery A large amount of the ricn rock is be ing carried away as specimens and the owners are losing considerable valu able ore in this way.
 Excitement was at fever heat when I left Sunday evening. Another rich find was reported from the spring two miles distant from the Origina find. Prospectors and miners were leaving Salome for that place as tho train pulled out for Wickenburg.
 "What impressed me as much al anything I saw was several womer met prospecting in the hills near thu rien discovery. Several were me' armed with prospecting picks and ear rying their canteens of water search ing for the yellow metal. It certain ly looked strange to me to see the fai sex in the throes of the gold fever al much as the old prospeetors who hav' braved the dangers and privations O. desert and mountain life many years
 "Salome is the nearest accessible railroad station to the strike. There i excellent hotel accommodations tner and teams can be hired to drive t the mining camps. A good road lead from Salome to within a mile of tn rich find. A trail leads from the roac to the camp"
 MT. Voge exhibited two very ricl gold specimens which the owners O the property presented to him. Tn quartz and hematite is studded witt coarse free gold. He also showed gol' banned from the soft ledge matter which shows that the naturalization i general with wide area of the depOs it, considering the richness of the ore

The Dayton brothers will receive for their machine approx imately $30,0O0 which includes a bonus of S, ,0O0 over the contract price, in the event that it should attain 40 miles an hour in the straightaway speed test of ten miles from Fort Myer to Shutters Hill and return. The officers of the Signal Corps were busy this morning figuring out the exact time and rate per hour made in last nights spectac- ular performance. From the elapsed to be determined the exact time re- Quired to make the turn around the captive balloon which marked the Shutter Hill terminus of the aerial course. It was approximately 26 sec onds.
 For each mile above 42 the Wrights will receive g, 500. If the Signal Corps wishes to assemble a fleet of Wright aeroplanes they will have to buy them from the two brothers. It is under stood that when they put their ma chimes on the American market the Wrights expect to quote them at about &, 900 each. President Taft, who is Washington's most distinguished vic tim of 'taeroplanitis' was among the first to extend congratulations to or vile Wright and Colonel Foulers after their successful flight. He could not get to the party quick enough so he sent one of his aides to tender his felicitatfons. The President was witness the entire flight. He reached the parade ground at Fort Myer just as the machine was coming in on the last leg of the journey.
