JUAN|TA IMPROVES ACCOMMODATIONS
 AT |TS CAMP

c. F. Warren, superintendent of the
 Juanita Mining Company, is in the
 city making preparations to snip a consignment of lumber and supplies to
 his eOmpany's camp in Crook Canyon
 district.
 Three new houses will be added to the camp accommodations at once and the hoisting plant recently purchased will be shipped to camp as soon as necessary repairs are made to the Crook Canyon road. The operations of the company have been retarded in the last few months by the bad cOndi- tiOn of this road. Negotiations are now under way with the board of su- pervisOrs to make the necessary re- pairs and changes in the road, which will be done at once.
 As soon as the buildings are finished and the hoisting plant delivered and erected sinking will be resumed in the Tom and Dick shaft. It is the inten- tion to carry it down several hundred feet deeper and to open the vein by laterals at every hundred foot level.
 There is a large ore reserve blocked out in the Tom and Dick mine. The company has under consideration the erection of mill as soon as it can be determined the character of plant best suited to the economic treatment of the ores of the sulphide zone which will be developed by the sinking of the shaft and the carrying out of the other details of the plan of develop ment.
 Other operators of that section have suffered some from the bad condition of the Crook Canyon road. The own CTS of the Bodie mine have a large boiler awaiting transportation from the Poland terminus of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad several months. l The road is in such condition that the of the Juanita and Bo- lie properties prefer to await it being | rather than risk the danger 7f serious injury to the new machin- cry on the way to the camps.
 Lute Wilson also complains that he $ being seriously hampered in the de -elopment of his properties on account If the roads being almost impossible ie made suggestions to the members if the board of supervisors and others in the improvement of the county roads before he returned to his amp there yesterday. He maintains hat the road through Crook Canyon s one of the most important of the ounty's highways as it taps one of he richest gold and silver producing

belts of the Bradshaw mountains.
 The management of the Cumberland Mining Company is also anxious that the road be made passable as soon as possible. This company is preparing to sink its main shaft two hundred feet deeper. An extensive plan of development has been agreed dpon by the Cumberland management, which it it proposed to commence as soon as teams can deliver the necessary sup plies at camp.
 Other concerns in that part of the county are planning to resume opera tions as soon as a local market is ere ated for their outputs by the starting of the Humboldt smelters, which is now assured. Many have announced

LET US PROVE IT.

In commenting on the efforts of New Mexico and Arizona for state hood and the chances the two terri tories have at the hands of congress the Louisville Courier-Jou says:
 Statehood is not a garment to be lightly bestowed. Its significance is profound. It extends to fundamentals of citizenship and of life. It gives votes to persons who have not had them before. It admits great com munities to the prod;gious American fellowship. It extends the federal constitution over new ground. It gives. new forces a voice in the gov ernment of all the people. And in applying for tine great benefit it is to be hoped that New Mexico and Ari- zona come with minds conscious of the bigger and higher life they seek and of the responsibilities it brings. Evi- dently they are duly disciplined and instructed and are ready. That, at least, is the supposition of their friends. who in Kentucky are number ed ;n multitudes. A great proportion of us look cordially toward the two territories whose people have striven so long and nard and patiently for statehood and wish them not only a quick voyage through the house, but safe trip through the senate and into the family.

FORTUNE DOES NOT PLAY FAIR WITH
 PROSPECTOR
Lets New Fellows Put One Over On Old
 Lode-Hunter

YUMA, Feb. S.-Some five or six years ago Ross Jordan, prospecting about 20 miles from Polomas, found a huge chunk of gold bearing ore, which had been placed on a boulder by some Indian, not far from an Indian trail.
 The life of a prospector in Arizona lacks everything of being a sinecure, although as the advance guard of civilization gradually extends its lines and populous centers arose where re- gently only the howl of the coyote be- spoke the presence of animal life, this intrepid wanderer finds his avocation surrounded with less hardship than was the rule when a trip to the desert meant hundreds of miles of tedious, toilsome tramping, long distances from water and the hazard that his bleach ing bones would alone be left to tell the tale of another life sacrificed to the goddess of gold.
 What this fearless band of adven turers nave given as heritage to mankind is amply portrayed in the eenters that now mark their trail from the Sierras to the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. Where the lone prospector pitched his tent and had for his company the trade rat, and other reptile life, now arises the oasis where mankind finds many of tne comforts of civilization and where Mother Earth is disgorging her treasure for the enrichment of the world.
 Yet with all its hardships, depriva tions and dangers, there is something about the prospector's life that ap- peals, and every year sees the ranks where the old-timer drops out, or where someone has struck it and retired to rest upon his laurels.
 But fate often plays queer pranks, and it really seems as if some men were intended to find earth s hidden treasures and others not. Anyhow, in his long hunt for the source of the gold on the boulder, Ross Jordan To- cated eleven claims, and for five long years worked and toiled, only to give up the claims and retire from the field.
 Here is where the irony of fate comes in, for just around the hill on the other side of the trail-the one ,pGt that Ross probably overlooked is now the scene of one of the richest ] strikes in the territory, and one winch will no doubt make the locators ! wealthy men.
 And thereby hangs tale:
 The other day it was rumOred | lround the streets that J. l.. Norrega l lad made a strike in this locality, | md Ross happening to hear about it, sent Bob Irwin and Frank ,aylor out to relocate his old claims, with instructions to hustle.
 But rhere were others in the field, md Ross men got in a half nour too ate, only to find that Charley Utting, Toe RedondO and J. l.. Norrega had ust finished locating eleven claims, md again the saucy jade, Fate, had 'layed her part in the drama and one If Ross old claims was found to lay longside of the new strike, with the thers fankdng in all directions.
 Utting and RedOndo returned to una this morning in high spirits, as ne ore from the new strike runs high n values and there is plenty in sight.
 The claims are located about twenty liles northwest of Polomas, and about wenty-six miles due east of the North tar.
