c. P. Collins, prominently known in mining circles of this county, and formerly in charge of the Octave and Mudhole mines, after several days in the city and at Walker, left yes terday for his home at Tulsa, Okla, where he is engaged in the oil busi- ness.
 He retains a heavy interest in the Mudhole mine at Walker, and speaks in the highest terms of that prop erty and its satisfactory production, stating that it is attaining high rank in gold producing, and he anticipates the proposition will develop into one of the biggest in this field. The striking of the best ore bodies at the greatest depth yet reached is pleasing to him also, and from which he believed the property is just entering an era of permanent regard.

Upper states that among the more prominently mentioned new producers that of the North Capitol, owned by \. J. Griffin, and the Black Diamond of D. L.

 After Virginia and Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, with 13 members, had the largest representation in the House in 179O. New York and North Carolina followed with 10 each. The latter state never rose above 13, but the former has gone as high as 10. which figure was attained under the apportionment of 1880, and is the largest representation any state ever has had. After 1880 the New York representation fell to 31 in 1860. Since then it has been rising gradually until now it is 37. Penn sylvania's $ present number of 32 is the largest ever CT owed by that state.

At the camp of the Arkansas and Arizona Mining company, near Jer- ome, the installing of one of the largest and most complete mechanical equipments in the county is now un- der way, preparatory to the resump- tion of the work on a scale that gives that property very much in terest and consideration in practical mine operating circles. A few days ago the last shipment from Jerome reached the works, and beginning to- morrow the installing of the vast equipment will be commenced, the Elliott-Radley Construction company having the contract, with NJ V. Radley in charge. The electricians are already at work in their depart ment, while the head frame is ready and the power house enlarged to double its former capaciey. Some idea of the character and size of the machinery to be placed in the mine may be formed when it is stated that special appliances were introduced to lower the big pumps into the mine

if this is a hobby, I intend to make it win. This is a straight business proposition, and we propose to op- crate as carefully, as systematically and as intelligently as we would any other business"
 Those who know MT. Kelly and his history realize that he means what he says and Yavapai county is fortunate in having suen a man en- gage in the mining industry. He is essentially a man of affairs-a sue eessful business man, who is rated as one of the ten wealthiest men in Kansas City, and is reputed to be worth over $2,000,00O. Forty years ago, when he was in the meat packing and the milling business, he was one of the contractors that sup piled Fort Whipple with bacon and flour. He owns the largest flouring mills in Kansas City, but these were turned over to his two sons a couple of years ago, and, having leisure time be became interested in the Fl Tigre mine of Mexico. Attempts were made to steal it, and MT. Kelly and his associates spent s250,OO0 in litigation to defend their rights. They were successful and the mine is now netting about $5O,O0O a month. MT. Kelly is the treasurer of the Fl Tigre company. Besides his other interests mentioned, he owns many thousands of acres of farming land and much valuable Kansas City property.
 Never having been a failure in any business venture, he proposes to apply the same good judgment and sound business methods to make a Success of the Pacific Copper Mining company.
 Personally, MT. Kelly is a man of of genial personality, witty and in teresting, and his recital of stories and anecdotes at the "smoker" was its most interesting feature. All joined at the close of the affair in wishing that he would come more of ten and stay longer.

In view of the pronounced inter- est prevailing throughout Arizona at the present time in the selection of a desirable Democrat to preside over the Constitutional convention that convenes at the Capital City in October, and without endeavoring in any way to mould the wish of the majority in having that important duty fulfilled in a manner becoming the important duty, the Journal Miner is pleased to give a brief re- view of the career of Mayor Morris GOldwater of Prescott, who is now being urged to announce his eandi- daey for chairman of the eonven- tiOn.
 Mir Goldwater's name is being prominently mentioned for the posi- tion, and that his supporters may be properly guided in their efforts, the following data is eheerfully given:
 Official records show that Morris Goldwater was elected mayor of Prescott in 1879. Again in 1895, ne was reelected for a term of two years. Beginning in 1905, he has held that important office up to the present time, and will not retire un- til 1911, serving eleven years in that position, a record unequalled in the municipal history of Arizona.
 During the years 1899 and 1890 he was a member of the City Council of Prescott.
 During the memorable days of 1883 he was elected a member of the Council of the 18th Legislative As sembly, rendering faithful service to the county in important legisla- ton.
 At the succeeding session of the Legislature, in 1885, he was ehsoen as the chief clerk of the lower house, rendering excellent service.
 In 1SS9-1S9O he was the chairman of the Democratic Territorial Gen. tral Committee.
 In the same year he was a mem Der of the Board of Supervisors of county.
 In 1899 he again entered the race for the Legislative Council of Ari- zona, and was elected. He was chosen by that body to be its president, which was the 2Oth session of the 
 He also filled the important of- flee of member of the Territorial Board of Equalization for four con- seeutive years.
 Six years of his official life has been devoted to the office of public school examiner of this city.
 In short, it may be stated that since his arrival in this city, with he exception of a few years, he las figured more prominently in the ] official life of Arizona than any other many living today.
 He arrived at La Paz. on the | Colorado river. in 1868. He remained It that point until 1870, when he moved to Ehrenburg, remaining here until 1876, when he came to

RICH GOLD STRIKE
 IN SECRET PASS
(Mohave County Miner.)

MOudNe OOl
 Report comes from Secret Pass that Superintendent Scott, who is oper- ating the mines recently taken over from R. J. Holmes and others, in the interest of Goldfield people, has opened up a wonderful property. So far the dimensions of the vein have not been aeertained, but it covers a small knoll on the west side of Secret Pass and shows wherever opened. Even the alluvium covering of the hill gives big banning in gold and some of the rock of the vein is said to have given wonder ful results. At a depth of thirty eight feet the ore shows the same general character as that on the sur face. An effort will be made tp trace out the vein and other shafts will be sunk. A large amount of work mas been mapped out on the property and this work will be rush. ed to completion. Members of the company are here from Goldfield and are enthusiastic over the outlook for something big. The showing thus far made is far better than that of the Gold road or Tom Reed with the same amount of development. The vein is cut by canyons and shows its immense outcrop to best advantage at the point where tle shaft is now being sunk. Miners com ing in from the camp say that it is one of the most wonderful diseov cries ever made in the county. . The Secret Pass is one of the most accessible points in the Blue Ridge chain of mountains, well watered and well situated for all the year mining operations. It is through this pass that a new wagon | road is proposed to reach the mines of Silver Creek and that part of the range south of Union Pass.
 The strikes has brought into that section amny prospeetOrs and it is probable that before many months new strikes will be announced.
 J. A. Translator and Col. J. c. i Swickard have discovered gold bear ing veins in the buttes five miles north of Antares that give results of $33 gold to the ton, besides percentage of lead. After locating the discovery they explored the sur rounding country with the result | that they found another vein on which they found a big nugget of galena.
