SECURES SLICE OF
NEAR RICH PROPERTY
J. F. HemperIy of This City Becomes
One Third Owner of Anaconda
Group.

]. F. Hemperly, a director of the
Salt River Valley bank, has just re-
turned with his son who lately ar
rived here from Kansas, from the
Glory Hole excitement in the Salome-
Winchester Vicksburg district where
he succeeded in getting a slice of
the near great property. Mr.. Hemp
erly and w. H. Slaughter of the
Glendale bank are both from Kansas,
and are well acquainted. Mr..
Slaughter grubstaked a man named
Mitchell shortly after the gold ex-
citement and Mitchell located a group
of claims a mile and a half east of
the Glory Hole which are proving
about right" Mr.. Hemperly states
that they have not decided just what
method they will pursue in the devel-
Opment, but that it is the general
opinion that they have something
worth while.
They have had several assays made
from the rock found on the ledge at
the surface, none of it coming from
under the ground, and it runs be-
tween twenty and forty EIGHT dollars.

THE OPINION is THAT THE HOYT
PROPOSITION WILL BE
TOO EXPENSIVE
Chamber of Commerce Exhibit Com
mittee's Promise That a Good
Exhibit Will Be Made.

The chamber of commerce directors
met last night in regular session in
the reading rooms where they heard a
report from the special committee ap-
pointed to meet with a like commit
tee of the Latter Day Saints church
in regard to the Hoyt road to the
Ravis ranch. The special committee
reported to the chamber of COM
merce that after due investigation
both committees had come to the
conclusion that the Hoyt proposition,
while being cheaper as far as first
cost was concerned that ii would be
much more expensive in keeping in
repair. The principal reason given
for the latter was that the govern
ment and forestry service would go a
long ways toward keeping the road
in repair after once il was completed
to the resort.
Mr.. Hagerlund. who had previously
been appointed chairman of the house
and exhibit committee reported that
on account of pressing business en-
gagements that he could not do the
matter justice and rendered his resig-
nation of the committee. J. G. Spang-
Ter was Immediately appointed as
chairman of the committee.
The matter of writing letters for
the August edition OF the Earth was
taken up and discussed at length. A
committee was appointed TO solicit
letters from the farmers and get as
many as possible and at as early a
date as possible. Every member of
the board was constituted 4 special
to enthuse every prospec-
tive letter writer for the publication
and make as good a representation as
possible for the special edition of the
Earth.
The exhibit and house committee
now consisting of Spangler, Chandler,
Phelps and Radell, reported that they
could be depended upon to place
good exhibit in the building the COM
ing summer.
The ways and means committee
was instructed to meet with the ladies
of the library association this after
noon and arrange for the securing Of
a joint secretary and librarian.

INDIAN FORGETFUl.

Juan Coker, Maricopa Indian, was
picked up on the streets Tuesday
night in an advanced stage of civiliz-
alton. He had taken on the ways Of
the white man to such an extent that
he felt like crowding people off the
sidewalk. When taken before Justice
Irwin yesterday morning he showed
that he had forgotten considerable
about his escapade and did not know
where the liquor had come from. He
had not the least idea who gave him
the whiskey, nor did he know whether
he paid for ii or had it given to him.
However, it was conclusive that the
red man had been drunk and the
justice let him off with the usual
five ones and a two, which he sue
ceeded in securing with his saddle.

c. E. Howard Of Ash Fork spoiled
the regular lines of the Mcqueen sec
ton yesterday by taking out the
southwest quarter at a price reported
around $3.50 per acre. 1t is the inten-
ton of Mr.. Howard to farm the land
and of course he will not be averse
to specializing just a little if oppor
tunity offers. 1t is possible that the
tract will be cut up into tens and
twenties or. even larger or smaller
subdivisions if the demand is great
enough for this sized farm.

good sum of money to be used in
financing the deal.

Ant Hills and Flies.

a recent traveller in Central Africa
describes an interesting use of the
soil of ant hills. 1t appears that it
makes excellent bricks, of which
houses are built. The natives tread
1t with water into a dough-like sub
stance, which is shaped In rough
wooden moulds. 1t is then dried in
the sun, and afterward baked in ma
tive kilns. The same substance is
found to mako excellent tennis
courts. 1t is mixed with water into
thick paste, spread on the ground
and smoothed over with the hands.
The same traveller tells us how the
natives in the neighborhood of Lake
Nyassa esteem a species of fly as an
excellent article of diet 1t is known
as the 'kungO." and appears to be
peculiar to the lake At certain
seasons of the year they appear. in
enormous numbers and are some
times blown in myriads over the land.
If this happens near a village the ma
tives come out eagerly to gather them
up. They make them into what they
consider a delicious confection.-

STORM IN VIRGINIA.
Live Stock Drowned And Buildings
Washed Away.

Roanoke.-One OF the worst hail
storms in the history of Montgomery
County swept over the Shawsville
section. The storm approached from
the west. Hail fell as large as hen
eggs, and in some cases rolled down
embankments and drifted several
feet deep. The wind was terrific.
the thunder deafening and the light
ming almost binding. while the rain
fall is said to have been like water
pouring over a dam.
Small branches washed away
houses and drowned cattle and hogs.
Many persons fed from their houses
In water waist deep. Among other
buildings washed away was the col
ored peoples hall at Shawsville.
Many bridges were washed away
also. The tomato crop in that sec
tion is almost entirely destroyed, and
the canneries are endeavoring to
caAcea their orders for thousands of
dollars w6rth of cans. 1t is feared
that all the fish have been killed by
the thick. muddy water.
