MINES OF ARIZONA
 ARE HISTORY MAKERS
From Wednesdays DaiIy.1

Every great mine is a history maker.
 The old Vulture mine near Wicken- burg made history for Arizona in the early days (the dark days of tae civil war) and produced seventeen millions in gold.
 Next came the great old Silver King mine in Pinal county, north of Flor ence, which made ten years of history for Arizonaa nd produced eleven mil lions in silver.
 Next, the United Verde Senator Clark's mine) of Yavapai county, be- gan its great career as history-maker, producing gold, silver and copper, and up to date has paid twenty-four mil lions in dividends-in dividends, ob- serve, not gross output.
 The Copper Queen of Bisbee has been the greatest history maker of all. It is not only ArizOna's greatest mine, but it has been the mother of great mines, sucn as the Calumet and Ari- zona, that has paid ten millions in dividends. The Queen itself probably paid forty millions, but as it was, up till few months ego, a close corpora tion there is no public record.
 The Old Dominion of Globe has been history maker for forty years.
 The old Longfellow mine of Clifton was Arizona's s first history maker in copper.
 Tne Copper Queen has made the his tory of the southeast Arizona for a quarter of a century-all of it that is worth talking about. It founded the towns of Bisbee, where the mines are; Douglas, where the smelting is done, and of the new copper camp of Court land. near both. These three camps contain about a quarter of the popula- tion of Arizona.
 The output of the United Verde in 1906 exceeded in value the total out put of Goldfeld by nearly half a mil lion-yet the United Verde is Arizo- mas third mine, in the value of its output.
 The output of the Copper Queen group at Bisbee Gall included) exceed ed the Goldfeld and Cripple Creek out put in 1907 by four millions.
 The output of the Copper Queen alone in 1907 exceeded in value the total output of all Nevada by five mil lions.-Phoenix Republican.

IMPROVEMENT HAS
 BEEN RECENTLY MADE

CLIFTON, March 24-The New England and Clifton aerial tram is now in frst-class running order and the management of the company is more than pleased with the results being ob- tained in the way of transportation saving. The tram mas a capacity of 100 tons per day, but as the company is not shipping over 90 tons it will not be necessary to operate the tram over half capacity. This tram will be great saving to the company, which ny under the present low price of cop per. From now on the New England company will be in better position to meet conditions than ever before. They have plenty of ore at the Copper King and it is also reported that the ore supply at the Antietam is good.
 The Shannon copper company, which concern now owns a controlling inter- est in the Clifton Northern railroad, is increasing the bin capacity at the end of the tram rond in North Clifton. At the present date the capacity IS about three narrow guage ears per day, which will be doubled wuen the new work is completed. This increase IS absolutely nece- sary, owing to the fact that the New England company has in creased its shipments from the Copper King and the Shannon is now securing it's lime rock from it's own quarries up the Frisco River Another camp which is being opened up by the shannon and more than likely will develop into a shipper in the near future, is the Weaver group, located in the same dis triet. The Shannon also has the Green lee group up the river, hence it will be see that in the not far distant future it may be necessary to operate the tram road day and night, as well as increase the capacity of the bins.

Since that time the industry has con- stantly been growing, until now a dozen outfits are extracting the beau tiful gems. Not only are valuable gems found, but hundreds of pounds of matrix stone is shipped weekly to lap diaries all over the United States. A single stone, taken out by the Tiffany interests, brought $3,0OO, while several 5000 gems have been discovered. The stone is valued all the way from few cents for the green matrix to five or six dollars a carat for the deep blue gems. The mining is all done by open cuts, in some places the mountain be- ing terraeed for several hundred feet. Very little powder is used in breaking the rock, as that would injure the en- cased stones, but the primitive method of the ancient race of gadding out the rock is adhered to.
 At present the different companies and individuals engaged in mining turquoise are as follows: Aztec Tur- quoise Co.,, represented by E. J. Me Nulty, owned by Tiffany's, the great New York jewellers; Mineral Park Fur quoise Company, represented by W. J. Wilson of Los Angeles; Southwestern Turquoise Co.,, under the management of Tarr & McMullan; Arizona Fur quoise Company, conducted by Bell & McCracken; Mrs. Jack Kay, who mas mined and personally sold about 5000 worth of gem stones in the past few months; Jupiter Gem Co.,; Jas. Haas; Caswell & Gross, c. Sherman, Dossett & Sharp, Thos. MeNeely. All these mine and ship turquoise, some to their own cutting establishments, the others finding a ready open market.

SIXTEEN MEXICANS ENTER
 SUIT FOR BACK PAY
lFrom Wednesdav,s Dailv.l


 Suit for the collection of $229.12 was filed in the court of Justice of the Peace McLane yesterday against the Arizona Power Company by I. Iona. The complaint alleges that the amount is due the plaintiff and fifteen Mexi- cans employed by the power company in the early part of this month. The date of the hearing has not been set.
 Iona and his fifteen associates in the suit claim that the officials of the power company discharged them and not only refused to pay them at Fossil Creek but also refused to give them any evidence of indebtedness against the company for their services. The men were penniless and as a result of the company's action in refusing to pay them were compelled to walk all the way from Fossil Creek to this city, subsisting as best they could until their arrival here, after which they managed to exist on the charity of their friends. A few of them men who assigned their claims for collection to Iona say they quit the company's em- plov on account of the bad treatment of themselves and fellow laborers by those in charge of the company's work.
 After their arrival nere Iona and his assignees consulted Ross & O'Sulli- van and retained the firm to collect their wages.
 On advice of their attorneys they de- mandod that time checks be issued to them at the eompany's office here, ex- plaining hat they had no means and that they could secure board in ex- change for the time checks. Time checks stamped "non-assignable" were issued to them against their protest. Finding themselves unable to negoti ate the company's paper, they as signed their claims to Iona, who insti- tuted suit for the collection of the to- tai of the wages due.

IMPORTING HIS RELATIVES
lFrom Thnrsdav's paIly)

Judging from his activity, the Board of Supervisors ought to employ Rich ard Munsfeldt as immigration eommis- sioner under the new law. "Diek' is the mixologist for the members of the Yavapai Club, but he has sufficient time from his duties to write letters to the Faderland and describe the beauties and advantages of Arizona. About a year ago he brought from Germany a young lady cousin to whom he proudly owns to being engaged. Yesterday there arrived another eou- sin. Hermann Malchow, of Harburg. IF a few weeks Dicks iancee will go to Germany and will return with Mrs. Malcnow. And Dick says he has more relatives whom he will induce to cross the briny as soon as his exehecquer will permit.

ARREST PASSER OF MANY
 SPURIOUS CHECKS
From Wednesdays Daily)

CTrom Wednesdays Daily)
 With trail of spurious checks be- hind i'm reaching from Mayer to the Salt River valley and dating back to the early part of December of last year, G. s. Dement, was arrested in Phoenix yesterday. Sheriff Smith will leave for Phoenix to bring Dement, here to answer to the charge of Ob- taining $45 under false pretenses from the firm of Martin and Price in Mayer.
 Dement, cashed a check for $45 in -he establishment of Price and Martin in Mayer and before the check was discovered to be spurious left the coun- ty. A warrant charging him with ob- taining money under false pretenses was issued. He was traced to the southern part of the territory, where his trail was lost. A short time ago he appeared in Phoenix where, it is alleged, he issued several worthless checks, his arrest following After landing him behind the bars the Phoe- nix officers notified Sheriff Smith of Dement'S capture. The eashing of the $45 check in Mayer was the first ques- tionable transaction of which he was accused, so the Phoenix officers agreed to deliver him into the custody of the sheriff s office here.

TURQUOISE STONES ARE
 NUMEROUS IN MoHAVE co.

KINGMAN, March 23.-Aecording to government geologists and experts on gem stones, the largest deposit of turquoise found in the world is in this county. at Mineral Park, 9 miles north of Kingman. At the present time, four-ffths of the turquoise mined in the United States comes from these mines. In the Park, which is basin snugly set in the mountain and is 4250 feet above the sea level, rises Ithica Peak. small mountain over a thous- and feet higher than the Park. Around and over this peak cluster the mines.
 When first Prospeetors entered the basin, they found many evidences of prehistoric miners. There were the usual hieroglyphics on the rocks at nearby springs, that were probably re- cords of locations made by these abO- rigines, and high up on the mountains were Impressions which, when after wards cleaned out, showed where these ancient miners, unknown to any of the existing races of Indians, had pounded out the precious stone with hammers, which lay around in profusion.
 Although it has Teen known for years that these stones were in quan- titles, it was only about eight years ago that attention was turned to the deposits and the first locations made

SALoME'S BONANZA IS
 PURCHASED AT PHOENIX

PHOENIX, March 23.-Henry Bark
 CT, Hi Griffin and Shorty Algier, the
 men who made the Salome strike, came
 to town a little after o'clock yester-
 day, strictly in accordance with the
 advance notices, bearing between them
 three ore sacks filled with gold rock
 equally as rich as that shown in the
 window of the Southwestern Realty
 Company during the last week.
 When the meeting in the back room
 broke up, two deals had been eonsum-
 mated The details of one of them
 can be given quite fully. The other,
 though an accomplished fact, has not
 been settled as to details and some of them are therefore lacking. Both were effected through the Southwest ern Realty Company and though the same men with but one exception are concerned, they will be referred to separately.
 Going back into history for, a few days, to a time before the strike, there was staked only the old Hillside claim. At the instance of Dick Hall, Henry Barker staked the adjoining property, north, south and west, making four claims in the group, locating Dick Hall in for a half interest. Yesterday the Salome Hillside Gold Mining Co. was organized by D. P. Shear of Warren, Pa, and Geo. NJ. Hahn, c. B. King, D. W. Niekels, l. T. HOsey and John Sharpe of this city. The company i'm mediately bought from Henry Barker lis half interest in the group and from Dick Wick Hall his half inter- Cst in the group, getting a clean title tU these four claims. The exact price pad was not made public but Mir. King said that it was more than $3O,O0O and less than $4O,OOO and more than half of it was paid in cash.
 Immediately east of the Hillside claim, and abutting on the end line, is the Arizona Northern claim on which Henry Barker, Hi Griffin and Shorty Algier made the big strike and staked
 that and the adjoining seven claims known as the Arizona Northern, 1 to : inclusive, making a group of eight claims in all D. T. Shear, G. NJ. Hahn, C. B. King, D. w. Nickels and John Sharpe, all of those concerned in the ] of the Salome Hillside | compay except I. T. Hosey, organized | another mining company which has not yet been given name, and bought of | Dick Hall, who held the option given by the three prOspeetOrs, the Arizona 1 Northern group. The nearest announce ment made last night to the exact pur ! chase price was that it was good deal | above the minimum of six figures, but | considerably less than the $3OO.OOO op- tion formerly given to MT. Smurth- waite. As to the terms of payment, | they were not given out, other than the announcement that a portion of it is on time, on quarterly payments. It is also understood that Dick Hall re- | tains some stock interests in both | though the ownership of the | properties passes entirely from his | hands to that of the two companies.

CANADIAN CAPITAL
 INVESTING IN CHIHUAHUA
(Chihuahua Enterprisel

l NOhlhudnua EnterprlSe)
 A remarkable good sign of the times | for the state of Chihuahua and north ern Mexico is the coming in of big Canadian and English capital to be invested in the development of natural resources. Unless all signs fail, this state will soon have two aggregations of this capital taking hold of railroads, a lumber enterprise and a hydro-elee- tric enterprise in this state.
 Principal of these is the aggregation headed by pr. IF. S. Pierson, which, ae- cording to reliable information, will take over the Chihuahua and Pacific Railroad, Colonel w. c. Greene's Sier- "a Madre and Pacific railroad and it's concessions, his Sierra Madre Land and Lumber COmpany's sawmills and near ly three millions acres of timber lands, and adjoining timber tracts of about a million acres more, together with stock ranches.
 Another probable investment is that of the Mexican Northern Electric Pow CT Company. This company, which is formed for and has concessions from the Mexican government to develop water power in the northern part of Mexico, is confidently expected to build at La JOya on the upper Con- ehOs River a great hydro-electric pow CT plant to furnish cheap power to the great mines of the Parral district and other sections, even, possible, to this city.
 What is known as the Rcthsci.iIds group" or more particularly that group which owns the great Fl Oro mines and railroad to the state of Mexico, has a party of able engineers out now examining mines of the Greene Gold-Silver Company with view to their purchase. These people represent English capital.
 The importance of the influx if th's foreign capital is clear. If all or any one of these deals are finally consum- mated, it means new life infused into business in this city and state. It will mean a general renewal of eonf- dence as this would be the first large influx of foreign capital since the financial crisis of 1907 in the United States and Europe and which natural ly affected Mexico. These deals would insure the prosperity of Chihuahua for years to come.
 Another feature of this capital is not to be underestimated. Canada is a young, rieh and virile country, teem ing with youthful energy, brains and capital. It is only recently that the people have begun to branch out. Can adians and their money are already heavily interested in Mexico, Monter- ey and other parts of the republic. No better or bolder people exist anywhere and Mexico needs them and that bad Iy.
 As to English capital, it speaks for itself. Englishmen and English mon ey have led in development around the world. They have already done much in Mexico and they will be wei comed in this state.
