MINES IF MOHAVE SHOWING REAL

I ellurium Has Been Found in Gold Road
 District
CFrom Tuesdays pailvl

"General industrial and mining conditions are very good in Mohavs county just now," said Attorney Paul Burks, head of the Arizona law de- pertinent of the Santa Fe, yesterday to a Journal-Miner representative. At torney Burks recently returned from professional visit to Kingman.
 ''What interested me most" he continued, ''is the new strike recently made in the property of the Expansion Gold Company in the Gold Roads dis trict. In sinking the main shaft two characters of the tellurium were found, one carrying 21ls per cent and the other 24 per cent in gold. The vein in which the tellurium ores are being opened is large. In addition to the two high grade paystreaks there is good sized body of medium grade ore. In sinking the shaft the ores show better values with depth, feature of which is characteristic of the entire Gold Roads district.
 "New and larger reduction plants are being installed on the properties of the Gold Roads, Tom Reed, Tragedy and Thumb Butte properties. The Tragedy is owned by the Gaddis inter ests and the Thumb Butte by the Kim berleys. Development is being pushed on these properties as well as on number of smaller ones.
 Miners are added to the force as fast as their services can be secured. In fact, there are no idle miners in Mohave county in search of work"

CFrom Tuesdays Daiiy)

Further than to state that an en- abling act granting statehood to Ari- zona will be passed by congress next December, George U. Young, general manager of the Derby mine and recent ly appointed secretary of the Territo- ", refused to discuss the political sit uation in Arizona yesterday.
 "My appointment as secretary of the Territory has not been confirmed by the senate," Secretary Young said. "Until I am sure that it is confirmed I do not care to discuss the local po- Iitieal situation.
 zone thing is certain, and that IS that l am not going to neglect my mining interests for the office. I am more interested in that property on the hill," he said, pointing towards the Derby mine, ethan in all the offices in Arizona. It is improving daily and there is no longer any doubt in my mind but what it will prove one of the wonderful mines of Arizona when developed. It is looking better than ever now and my ambition is to open it to a depth of 2,OO0 feet as soon as possible. Arrangements are now made to equip a four-eompartment shaft on the summit of the hill with a large hoisting plant. A drift is being run from the 3O0-foot level of the main. shaft, now down 36S feet, along the vein. When this drift reaches a point under the summit of the hill a raise will be run to the surface, which will be converted into the four-eompart- ment main working shaft. have tne company financed to prosecute this , work and will push it as fast as pos . sible."
 Secretary Young admitted that be will not assume the duties of secretary in any event before May l.
 The Derby group of mines, com prising thirty-two claims, is located on the summit of the Thumb Butte and the Copper Basin divide, six niles west of the city.
 Secretary Young, accompanied by his son, George, Jr., left for camp in he afternoon.

ADDRESS AT ELK HORN
Report Of Address Given at Elk Horn,
June ], 1909, by Charles w.
Petersen of Canada.

Racine, Wis, June 20, 1909.
During the annual conference of the
church at Elk Horn, Iowa, recently, a
meeting was held by a number of people
interested in Canada at which it was de.
cided to run an excursion to that country
leaving Elk Horn, Iowa on August 18th /;
ST. Paul, August 18th. and Portal, N D.,
a block of land in the "Canadian Pacific
hallway Irrigation Block" east of Calgary,
Alberta, which has been reserved for a
Danish settlement. :
During the time I was in Alberta last
fall as Chairman of the Land Committee
OF the church, drove over quite a large
portion of the Irrigation Block and saw
there some very fine land and great crops
pen. pelng n, harvested. Ny understanding is
settlement is as good as the best and in
that case believe all the conditions are
favorable for starting very prosperous
settlement, Owing to the fact that all
the land, both odd and even numbered
SectlonS, are reserved exclusively for
Danes, we will be able to have a very
close settlement and since arrangements
hay, have been Pee made whereby we secure free
lana tor church and Mr.. Charles w.
PETERSEN, a prominent Dane of Alberta
mas requested that he be permitted to
build the Church itself, it certainly looks
as II TINS settlement would progress yery
rapidly right from the first.
would very much like to have as many
as possible go up on this excursion and
lnNestlgate the matter as it seems to me
that there is no opportunity for people of
a short time.
Respectfully yours,
(Sgd) J. ]. Kildsig.
Chairman Land Committee,
