 l had another nice little chat re- gently with my friend, MT. Algier, of the Arizona Northern. He improves Oli dtti MT -AlBltI tdll lt-ll many a tale of border life and would be great company by the camp fire or at the club.

Don't come in and rush right out If you do you will lose the knock of op- portunity that seldom knocks at our doors. If you look around thoroughly you will settle here and take a chance.
 I was talking with another friend of mine today. He is a man who en- joys the confidence, the esteem and trust of many people in this com .muhity and elsewhere. T. H. Finne- gan, d gentleman of extended mining experience, and who is at present superintendent of the Calcite com pany, who are operating not far from Salome. He is most enthusiastic about this section, and cOnscientiously ad- vises a thorough investigation by the skeptical
 MT Finnegan leaves today for Par ker He will attend to some neces- sary business there, and return in a few days to Salome. l will then ac- company him to the Calcite company's ground and thoroughly size it up, also the surrounding region.
 This mountain climbing is hard on shoe leather, put if you don't walk some you won't get a chance to wear your old shoes out, so expect it's up to me to proceed.
