 If I were not married to Riverside" said MT. Mcintyre, T would come to Phoenix. You are ahead of us in the orange market. You have your fruit on and off the market before we have and every advantage is on your side"
 The next question which came be fore the board of trade was that of the Phoenix and Buckeye railroad The committee of rights of way was asked to report on the progress made. Sam Webb is chairman of this committee but as he was absent H. M. Lewis was asked to tell of what had been done in this respect
 We went along the route selected by the engineer and secured about three-quarters of it." said MT. Lewis. We canS across a few snags. Some of the others said they thought they would come in and others thought they ought to have some money. The com mittee had no money to use for this purpose and those who wanted money were passed by"
 Gen. A. J. Sampson suggested that the committee should report by name those who refused to give the right of way to the railroad.
 George M. Hahn, president of the Buckeye and Phoenix railroad. said:
 T confess that I am somewhat dis appointed in this apparent inability to obtain the right of way for this rail road. When we started in on this road supposed that it would be perfectly easy to get the right of way; in fact, l thought that property owners would come to us instead of our going to them, for it is recognized that the road will enhance the value of their prop erty
 The refusals which we have receiv- ed have been for many different req sons. Many say that they will do what their neighbors do. and nothing is accomplished by this sort of thing. One man said I'll not give the right of way if the Southern Pacific is back of it. and another said the same thing only changing the name to the Santa Fe. We say positively that neither road is back of us.
 According to the law under which the corporation was incorporated the work of construction must commence June 15 and we must build two miles of road a month after that We can not wait till the 14th to know wheth- CT or not we will have the right of way on this road. It will take us quite a while to assemble our teams and get ready for the work. In short, we must l.

 ARIZONA NATIVE STONE
Another Large Consignment Received
 At Balke's Big Curio Store.


 Another large consignment of Ari- zona native stones has just been re- ceived at Balke's Big Curio store. The lot embraces the marix turquoise rubies, the paradot, topaz and the most beautiful specimens of petri- fed wood in C;eferent rO1s. They a.e all hands 'rieiy cut a n are suit able settings for ings and brooches. IT., re are also sey eral nice sperirens Of rnalachite
 An extraordinary reducti 'n has been made on all of these goods. Those who, having spent the winter here and are about to leave the city should take some of these beautiful natives stones home with them where at little expense they can have them set as they desire and they will then have a most beautiful mOmentO of their winter residence in Phoenix
 A new lot of very handsome Mexi- can Opals has been received. Many persons are superstitious and imagine the opal If that were so, the pro prietor of the Big Curio store would be the unluckiest man in existence, for he has thousands of them.
 There are many beautiful graduat- ing gifts in jewelry at the Big Curio store, native stones set in solid gold in pins, cuff sets, cuff links and brooches. These goods are being sold at half price.

Judge" seems to fit better than that
 of governor. The writer will bet a
 government permit for a Parker lot against a dollar, that when Governor
 Sloan. one of these days, arises from
 his chair to address the senate, and
 is recognized by Vice President
 Sherman as the Senator from Ari-
 zona," if there is an Arizonian in the gallery he will eXclaim, that's Judge Sloan, who presided over the Fourth
 Judicial district in Arizona for nearly
 twenty years and lived in Prescott" No more popular citizen lives in Arizona today than our new executive and if he manages the ship of state as successfully as he did his part of the judiciary, it will not be hard to guess the name of one of Arizona's first senators. During his short visit in Parker, the governor evidenced great interest in the towns welfare, and asked for all data to be forward ed to/him at once and that he would add his influence with that of the citizens of Parker in a personal re- quest to the Interior department to open the tOwnsite at the earliest pos sible time. In conversation with the writer the gentleman said: "I have the honor of close friendship with Secretary Ballinger and he promised to be my guest for several days in and when he arrives I propose to bring him over here to see tins great valley. Parker is bound tc be one of the great cities of the ter ritory, and I wish you God-speed in the development of this entire section. in which my assistance will always be forthcoming when required"
 The special pulled out immediately upon its return from across the river, leaving in its wake no definite in- but it was easy to observe that optimism had received another boost in Parker.

CENTRAL AVENUE BOU LEVARD
Committee Strikes Snags in Trying to Obtain Rights of Way For the P. and B. M Intyre Talks About the City Streets.

At the meeting of the board of trade yesterday afternoon George T. Mcintyre of Riverside gave his Opin- ion of the best method of improving Central Avenue boulevard. Mir. Me Intyre has charge of a district that comprises some of the best roads in southern California. The roads in Riverside are among the best in the state of California, and MT. Mcintyre had a great deal to do with the mak- ing of roads in that section.
 He said that the first thing that was necessary was a general sur vey to show how much water would have to be taken care of; then the grades should be established and after that the road should be thor Oughly irrigated to great depth so that a rake could be stuck into the road it's full length. Then the road should be cultivated so as to equaliZe the moisture, and after that it should be permitted to dry out until it would take the rollers. Then the roller should be used and this should com press it about six inches. By this means a solid subway is obtained. It should then be regarded and after that ploughed under about six inches and again rolled until it will not give under the roller. It is then equal to the cheaper macadam roads.
 When the road has been put in this condition the oil treatment should be used and the road is finished. The maintenance of a road such as this should not cost over $75 a month, for a man can be hired for this amount to take care of the litter from the trees and go over the road once a week. This sort of road will be free from jolts and an automobile can go over it at full speed without discomfort to the occupants.
 MT. Mcintyre said that in Riverside civic pride centered in good streets and that as soon as good streets were put ir the yards were cleared up and then the alley ways so that the real cleanliness of the city began with the development of the city's streets.
 After MT. Mcintyre had told what he thought of the laying out of the Cen tral Avenue boulevard he was asked many questions concerning the road building. He submitted specifications giving the cost for the road per mile. He said that fine macadam road could be built for a dollar linear foot. In this connection he added that there was nothing which could add to the beauty of a city more than the judi cious planting of trees. He said that in Riverside they took out blocks of concrete to plant palm trees at a. cost of $50 each.
 Mir Mcintyre said that in his trips around the valley he had not come across much material that would make successful road building. He said that north of Center street they had found plenty of slatey gravel but this ma terial is hard to work together Good granite was also found, granite that is easily fractured, but this was almost inaccessible There is good granite at Camelback but this means a haul of six miles.
 He said that with a crushing plant the Salt River valley could defy any community in the world for road material. He agreed to furnish esti-

NEWS OF SALOME
 AND ITS VICINITY
Visitors to the District, New Strikes,
 and Other Interesting Things.

Salome, Ariz., May 11.-CSpecial | correspondence of The Republican, -Fitz-Mac, the pioneer writer of this section. and geological expert, passed through Salome last week. His pleasant smile and hearty hand shake were much in evidence as he greeted his many friends in Salome, who all | have warm spot in their hearts for the man who has always had faith in this country
 A gentleman from Prescott, and a man of extensive business acquaint- anceship, Ed. Shumate, was amongst us recently. MT. Shumate is interest ed in considerable mining property around Salome and Winchester, and has returned to Prescott, after a big bunch of friends, who will soon be casting their lot with the coming country
 Mike Sanchez, an old-timer, it is reported, has just sold a group of claims three or four miles southeast of Harrisburg, for six thousand dol lars, cash.
 Louis Bardette has recently made a find, just southwesterly from the Harqua Hala dam, on a ledge 100 feet wide, that l understand runs sS in gold.
 John Rogers, who, with John O. Newcomer of Phoenix, owns some very fine property towards the north east end of the Harqua Hala's, was in Saiome few days ago, and reports that he and a Mir. Holmes and a Mir. Marsh located a claim that parallels Mir. Bardette's ground, called the Lucky Strike. Mir. Rogers says they have a phonolite ledge 10 feet wide, containing lime and quartzite.
 He was pleasantly surprised witt surface assay of better than $20 This ground is a part of what l wrote about for The Republican a week or so ago, and is in the Little Harqua Hala's and not more than seven miles from Salome.
 I am reliably informed that a re- organization of the old SOccoro prop erty is now under way and near de- velopments are shortly anticipated.
 The great upraise of quartzite that runs through the SOccoro property sinks in the valley, and upraises again in the Little Harqua Hala's. It is along this contact, that these new strikes are being made
 Don't forget what I told you about this same quartzite running for thirty miles, through the Harqua Hala. Watch the camps grow in the Harqua Halas.
 The Harqua Hala Development Co. is progressing rapidly with the work on it's dam. It is expecting to in stall a pile driver. It is on the road now. A carload of cement has just arrived in Salome, and the company is expecting to increase their force in the next few weeks.
 The last good strike news comes from a group called the Homestake, by MT. Samuel F. Swayne. He has one or the truest Assure veins in the hills, three feet wide and swell look ing ore. He is only four miles from Salome, one-fourth of a mile from the railroad, and half mile from water. I have seen his ground, and it's all right.
 Don't forget about that mill and big shelter. It's bound to come, and then just watch for the imitation of Salome's populace.

amount is located only a couple of miles to the northwest Many other good properties are to be found in this section. The Black Butte is pretty extensively developed, much good ore being in evidence at the present time.
 The new owners have signified their intention of beginning work within the next month, although the terms stipulate that the company need not begin active operations be- fore the first of September. Other deals will likely be made before the summer is over on other properties in this district.
 Death of Frank Neal.
 Frank Neal, who was reported very i'll recently and was taken from Parker with the intention of placing him in the hands of a specialist in Los Angeles. Being too weak for the journey, his brother, Ivan, was com pelled to place him in the hospital at Prescott. He gradually grew worse and passed away last Saturday Frank was the son of MT. and Mrs Wm. Neal of Parker, was 29 years of age and until attacked by his fatal malady which was termed Brights disease by his physician, was as fine specimen of manhood as the coun- try afforded. He was a native son of Arizona, kind and generous to a fault, and he possessed d host of friends.

Parker Association Honored.

It would be hard for a greater hon. or to be paid Parker, than the follow ing letters recently received by Sec retary Ward of the Parker Improve ment association from the president and vice president of the United States, in answer to Parkers appeal requesting that private corporations be prohibited from acquiring the location of dam sites on the Colorado river above Parker. The prompt and open answers establishes the democracy of this nation and the business methods of it's executive and chief assistant. While the presidents letter is signed by his secretary, that of the vice president is signed in his own hand writing. Both of them will always be prized by the Parker Improvement association: Following are the letters in full

 Another Riverside Deal.
 On Tuesday the 11th inst. another mining deal was perfected in the Riverside mountains, making three that have run into six figures since this favored district since the first of last January. The property recently sold was the Black Butte group own ed by s. c. McKesSon and two ad- joining claims which belonged to Burke Bros, Messrs. McKesson and Burke returned last Thursday from the Needles and were happy over the outcome of the deal. The negotia- tions were promoted through the ef- forts of Capt. Wm. c. Rose of Boston and the property is taken over on a reasonable term bond by New York capitalists and a substantial cash payment was made upon the signing of the papers
 The Black Butte lies in plain view of Parker on the east side of the Riverside range, being adjoining prop erty to the Newman mine which was sold early this year for s100,O0O. The Coleman mine recently sold for same

will not be built. Even today it is a question whether we can get together in time to build this road and if there is a much longer delay in securing the rights of way I am quite sure the road cannot be built
 George Purdy Bullard, as counsel for the company said: T know pos itively that neither the Santa Fe nor the Southern Pacific has an interest in the road. It it were so I would know it.
 Capital can always find investment and must be offered inducements. This road will not pay dividends the first year. For the first few years it will probably not pay operating expenses. By investing in this road the country will be developed and ultimately this development will be such that the road will become a paying proposition. At the present time the assets of this road are three: first. if certain conditions are complied with the road will be exempt from taxation for a certain number of years: second, the right of way given by the people. and third a bonus of $100,000 which it is proposed to raise
 "The main asset is the exemption from taxation for a period of years. This asset will be lost and valueless as soon as the conditions are not con- piled with And without this asset we could not get a dollar of capital from eastern capitalists.
 'The railroad will mean the settling of the fertile Buckeye valley. It will mean more shipments to enrich PhOe- nix, for the wealth of this valley will flow to Phoenix as there is no other center for it to go to. After getting this bill through the legislature it will be a crying shame if the road to Buckeye is not built
 A. c. Bartlett was called on by Chairman Fowler. He said that he did not know very much about the Buck e-PhOenix road but that he would endorse Mir. Bullard's remarks in re- gard to the interesting of eastern cap ital. Tt is a long way to Arizona" said MT. Bartlett, and even in Chicago they haven't the faintest conception of the Salt River valley. and unless extra inducements are offered it will be inn possible to finance a small railroad proposition in this territory"
 Tt was finally determined that spe- cial efforts should be made to get the other property holders who have enot yet agreed to give the right of way, Buckeye will not be built
