ARIZONA LAMBS ARE
 FAVOR|TE ON MARKET

Arizona mutton is commanding high prices on the Kansas City markets this year and there is also a brisk de mand for all classes of cattle in the Salt river valley. Several Denver buyers are in Phoenix purchasing cat tie at advanced prices. They are of. fering fancy prices for all the beef not purchased by the Los Angeles job bers.
 Arizona sheep owners are shipping a better class of mutton to the Kansas City markets this year than last. Sheep shipments from northern Arizona will be larger than in former years. The shipments from s. F., P. & P. points will not be as large as in 1908, as ma ny of the hoeks are being driven north through Coeonino county to be shipped from Flagstaff and other Santa Fe points.
 Mutton prices are expected to be reasonably good for some time. The Mcqueen lamb shipment last week sold for fifteen cents ewt. more than Ari- zona lambs ever sold in Kansas City.
 Eight carloads of sheep will be ship ped from Mayed today by George New man. This will be followed Sunday by a consignment of ten double ear loads of wethers belonging to Campbell and Francis from Hillside.
 The great demand for mutton is be lieved to be due to the starting of all the large factories in eastern cities, which were closed during the panic, and the popularity of mutton as a meat diet with the working people.

RICH ORE FOUND

The main shaft in the Morrow and Chamberlain at Paradise has reached a depth of 135 feet and is in mineralized ground practically all the way. It is sunk on a contact of lime and porphy- ", and seems to be half in lime and half in porphyry for the entire dis tanee. In the bottom of the shaft drift to the south was commenced just prior to the discontinuanee of work there about two years ago, and was continued to three or four feet only The last few shots were all in ore.
 In this tunnel rich ore was eneoun- tered, and two shipments were made to the Copper Queen shelter with profit. The first shipment ran 6.s5 per cent in copper, 12 oz. in silver, and s4 in gold, while the second shipment, though carrying less in gold, ran better in copper, and was more satisfactory, the result being as follows: 9.7 per cent copper, l2 oz. silver, and $2.3o gold. The smelter charges were s2.60 per ton.

PAY STREAK IN THE RoL
 KING CLAIM NEAR YUMA
CFrom Fridays Daily)

A pay streak which goes $40 to the pound, free milling gold, was uncovered few days ago in the Rol King claim, Yuma county, Arizona, by John W. Norton; an old-time prospector and mining man of California and Arizona, and samples of the ore show it's value without the aid of glasses.
 Norton is developing q number of claims in Yuma county and has recent ly closed two deals of considerable magnitude.
 He says mining is active in the Mo hawk mountains and good ore is opened right along. He is of opinion that a revival is imminent in the King of Ar izona district, and in Bouse, and states that representatives of many important mining people have been in these sec tions the past few weeks examining properties. Among these, Fred Grabell, representing Finch and Campbell, the Spokane bankers and mine owners who are heavily interested in the Couer d. Alene country, and others spent several weeks and went thoroughly over the Bouse and King of Arizona districts. MT. Grabell spoke highly of the dis

QUIT RANCH|NG FUR MINING; MADE
 RICH STRIKE
Mexican Farmers Realize A Snug Fortune As
 Result

DOUGLAS, May 14.-Frank Watt arrived in town yesterday from his ranch in Sonora and brought up the news of sensational strike that was made in the Tabataeoehi district about ten days age by two Mexieans.
 The Mexicans had been running farm on small scale for number of years, eking out a rather seant living, and this summer it was somewhat worse than usual on account of the small rainfall. They decided to try their hand on placer mining on an old proposition near their farm that had been worked many years ago. They hadn't been at it long when they knocked of a piece of rock that made day afternoon from the Harcuver had traced a ledge from two to three feet wide, forty feet high, and which they could trace for 200 yards.
 Tn short time the news spread and AAc UAO aAO mine in that district, after making an examination of the find, offered the Mexieans s25,o0O in gold for the prop erty, which was accepted, paying 9 per cent in cash before the discovery had been surveyed.
 Assays from the ore run as high as 5000 in gold and silver and already considerable ore has been taken ont that will average $4OO to the ton.
 The new find is within a few hun dred yards of the Mexieans' house, where they have been living for a number of years.
 MT. Watts stated that he had grub staked a couple of men to prospect in the vicinity of the new find in the hope that they might run across something equally as good.

 The North Star, in Yuma county, has just received its brick, amounting to 104 pounds. This is one of the best mines in that county, and is destined to play an important part in Arizona gold production. Work at present is confined to blocking and bulkheading ore and little shipping is done.
 A number of prospects are being de veloped with fair result between the Kofa mine and Felix Mayhew's s proper ty, bu tthis is mostly surface work and has not reached any depth. Some good showings have been made, how ever
 Felix Mayhew, who recently refused $34O,OOO for a controlling interest in the Amavisear lead, is working a small force and shipping in more or less desultory way.

A prospect owned by the Kelly brothers near Nor toms has been developed considerably, and vein running 20 per cent copper, sl0 gold, and fourteen ounces silver un- covered.
 The American Boy, adjoining the American Girl, is also preparing to re- sume after an extended period of idle ness, having finally settled the litiga- tion that has delayed work.

Col. Greene in an interview with a representative of the Pacific Coast News Syndicate, is quoted as follows:
 ''The Greene Gold-Silve of Chihua- hua, Mexico, is hopelessly bankrupt and owes me $2,OOO,OOO. The holdings of the company will be sold under q receivers sale on or about July l, and the proceeds of the sale will be ap- piled to the debts of the company.

 "The Cole-Ryan interests, represent ed by the Greene-Cananea Copper com pany, are opening up an immense body of copper at San Antonio de la Huer- ta in Sonora. This body of copper bids fair to be greater than that of the Greene-Cananea at Csnanea, and is much higher grade.
 "Coneession has been granted and work started on the narrow guage rail road from Tonehita to the properties of the Cieneguita Copper company at Cieneguita, and the completion of this road will open up vast area of high ly mineralized copper country"
 Dr. Pearson is on his way back to the United States from Brazil, where he has been inspecting his properties in that country. He was scheduled to have a conference with former min ing engineer employed by Col. Greene, for the purpose of going over the situ- atiOn in Mexican mines.

J. B. Grand, territorial superinten
 dent of roads, arrived here Thursday
 from Phoenix to consult the directors of the Good Roads association concern. ing the buildings of roads and other matters pertaining to his office. He is collecting data from the counties of the territory for a territorial map show ing the principal highways of Arizona, which will be issued at an early date.
 ''I will have highway through this county to the Grand Canyon from southern Arizona constructed in the next two years,' he said. ''I am in touch now with the officials of all the counties in the territory concerning road affairs and will have my office in shape to commence the construction of highways as soon as funds are avail able under the new road law.
 ''Data is being gathered for new map showing all the roads in Arizona. I am in communication with all the good roads associations in the territory and am assisting in the organization of others. A territorial good roads asso- citation is being organized. This asso- citation will join the National Good Roads association. Data will then be forthcoming from the national assoeia- tion which will be of great value to the Arizona associations in the carry ing out of their objects-the improve ment of the roads already built and the construction of others.
 ''The good roads associations already are doing much good. Better will follow the organization of the territorial association. The roads of the territory should be improved as much as possible and there is great need for highway connecting the principal points of southern Arizona with the Grand Canyon, which is an nually visited by tourists from all over the world''

PRODUCTION GOES
 OVER MILLION MARK

With the statement from the Helve- tia Copper company, showing the ore shipments from that property during last year, the returns from the produe- ing mines of Pima county are, com plete.
 The Helvetia company last year shipped 5000 tons of ore and the re- turns from the shipments totaled s. 561.6O The Helvetia production was not quite so large as it was last year.
 The returns from all of the produc- ing mines of the county show that last year, despite the fact that copper fell off markedly in price, more than $I,O0O,000 worth of ore was taken out of five mines in this county-the I'm perial, Twin Buttes, Helvetia, Oxide and Fl Tiro mines.
 Imperial led all of the producers with a yield of 11s,661 tons, which gave 6,6lO,S95 pounds of copper worth $S73.17S.90. In addition to this sum, the silver taken from the ores netted $51,074.
 The Twin Buttes mine ranked sec ond, its shipments totaling 1o,699 tons, yielding 963,OOO pounds of copper worth s127,1S3. The silver yield amounted to $3,656.
 The Oxide returns were: 263 tons of ore, yielding 49,676 pounds of copper worth $6,746.10.
 The Fl Tiro returns were: III tons of ore, yielding 5l.536 pounds of cop per, valued at $5,255.
 Taxes on mines are now levied on the production and not on the proper tY.

ID SINK NEW SHAFT ON CLAIMS IN
 HARCUVAR
More Active Development In District Than
 Ever Before

Charles lessen arrived here yester- day afternoon from the Hareuvar mountains after perfecting the title to a group of five claims owned by him. self, Ed Shumate and Herman Voge of this city. He is here to arrange with his partners to start a new shaft on enc of the claims of the group. He will return to camp in few days and start the work.
 The group is located adjacent to the famous "Glory Hole," which attracted thousands of miners and prospectors to the Hareuvar range last month. The ore assays high in gold with small values in copper.
 Mir. lessen says that there is more active development going on in that district now than ever before. Several companies and operators are arranging to start large development operations in the fall.
 Among a number of important deals closed in the district in the last week he mentioned a group of nine claims taken over by man named Reid from MeCarty and his associates. The prop erty is exceptionally promising and the new owner is planning a large scheme of development to be commenced early in the fall.
 An important strike is also reported from the Anaconda mine near Win chester, owned by Mitchell and his as- soeiates.
 Frank McShane and Tom Noddin are taking out shipping ore, as well as sev- erai other miners who located claims since the discovery of the "Glory Hole"
 MT. lessen reports the erection of many new buildings and the starting of several merchandising establish ments in the towns along the Arizona and California railroad and Winehes- ter in the last two months, notably at Winchester, Salome and Vicksburg. There are now two large merchandis- ing establishments in the last named placed.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
 ORE HANDLING METHODS

The big wheels of the Kelvin mil were put in nation several days aga and everything is again cutting fine.
 Many experiments have been made of late to ascertain the best way ill which to handle the ore in several of it's different stages, as it passes from the tipple into the mill proper and out over the washer tables. This informa- ton will be of great benefit when the installations of the Ray company $ large new plant begins tins summer.

Of course the company will put water to each of these lots. With cleo tric lights, green lawns, etc, the hill will be a most enviable dwelling place. The cottages will be occupied by the married men who are employed in the company offices.
 Many new teams are in evidence this week freighting for the Arizona Central Copper company at Ray. They seem to be quite in the building humOr for all kinds of lumber, cement and considerable heavy mine timber are go- ing up. Some of the new company's big bugs reached Kelvin recently, the Kelvin and Ray transfer teams taking up their camping outfit. The names of the parties were not learned, but of course they are there to push the work, which means just that much more hustle for that camp.
 Improvements continue in camp by numerous individuals, as well as by the company, chief among which is the rapidly growing work done by the Kel- win Lumber company to and around their yard.
