EGYPTIANS SHOW SELVES
INCOMPETENT TO RULE
Nationalist Press and National
Assembly Blamed for Failure

LONDON, June "a special to the
Daily Telegraph from Cairo says;
There is no question that the policy
hitherto adopted during the residence
of Sir Eldon Gorst in Egypt as agent
general will for the future be con-
siderably modified in the direction of
a return to the methods employed by
Lord Cromer. The experiment tried
of entrusting wider powers of initiative
and administration to Egyptian Of
ficials has reluctantly been admitted to
be a failure.
Perhaps the two chief illustrations
Of this failure have been the irrespOnsi-
BILE yrulence of the Nationalist press
and the recent action of the national
assembly in the matter of the Suez
canal OF the latter incident it is
sufficient to remind the public in Eng
land that proposal deliberately plan
ned to concede to Egypt an immediate
and valuable share in the profits of
the canal, and nominally indorsed by
the khediVe'S ministers, was rejected
pra ctcally unanimously by the as
sembly out of mere petulance, only
one voice being raised in its support.
Some day. no doubt. the experiment
of conceding larger measure of re-
spOnsible authority to the Egyptians
will be tried again, but for the mo-
ment Egyptians have only them
selves and the Nationalist press TO
thank for this full proof that Egypt
is still far from qualified to join the
ranks of constitutionally self-goVerning
countries.
The possibility of justifying this
confidence has been freely and gem
erously given to them by Sir Eldon
Gorst, but it will be a satisfaction and
relief to all who have Egypt's best in
terests at heart to know that the
khedive and his British advisers re-
luctantly regard the experiment re-
Gently made as having resulted in
such a failure that some time must
elapse before a concession to National
list ambitions can again be made.
In this matter it is important to
realize that the representatives OF
other European nations with large in
terests in Egypt cordially support this
determination of the khedive and his
British advisers.
Dispatches from other sources indi-
cate that there is grave fear of an
uprising in Egypt, and outbreaks even
in Cairo are possible.

SHELTER WILL PROBABLY
BE ERECTED AT PARKER

For the past two years the business
interests Of Parker, Ariz., have en-
deavored to impress upon smelter peo-
pie the great advantage that would
accrue if any of them would take the
initiative and erect sampling works
there.
George w. Pierce of Los Angeles, in
the interest of the Clara Consolidated,
spent several days in Parker recently
and was satisfied with his inyestiga-
tion and said he would proceed with
the installation of a fine sampler.
1t is certain that before long the
workings of the Clara Consolidated will
be in sulphide ore, therefore, naturally,
for fluxing purposes the company Will
want all the oxides, iron and silica OBJ
tainable. The surface ores bordering
the Colorado are just the material for
this purpose and therefore the miners
of this section are to be the benefic-
iaries in what might be termed CO.
operative enterprise in having a ready
market for their ore and greatly as
sisting the Swansea srpelter with oxides
and carbonate ores for fluxing.

LEASERS ON THE BOOTH
IN TEN INCHES OF ORE

Ten inches of ore that assays from
one to fifty ounces gold a ton is re-
ported to have been opened in the Lind
& Sheridan lease on the Booth at Gold
field. The strike was made in drift
on the 360-foot level and on what is
believed to be the northerly extension
of the Red Top vein. The ledge is six
teen feet wide and carries large
body of oxidized quartz showing ia
vorable assays for about three weeks.
The vein was reached by prosecuting
east from the shaft a distance of about
200 feet Drifts were made and a winze
sunk on the yein, and the indications
now seem to justify the belief that
pay shoot has at last been encoun-
tered.
The Booth has long been a puzzle to
all who have operated on it, frequent
punches of encouraging values having
being encountered, but they have
proved erratic and heeting.
\ large amount of development work
has been done by the company and by
leasers in expectation of being able
to develop a shipper, but the net re-
suit has been disappointment
The new discovery may solve the
problem and place the Booth in the list
of real mines.

NORTH STAR EARNINGS

YUMA. June 3.-The North Star
mine, operated by the Golden Star
Mining company, made a phenomenal
showing last year. This splendid mine
produced during the year ended Jan
uary l, 1910, bullion of the value Of
S521, 3O5.4 AS. This is the sworn value Of
bullion as made by the company to the
territorial auditor upon which its as
sessment for taxation is made. Con-
sidering the fact that the North Star
mine is using only f1fty-ton mill, that
II lost a month during the year by rea-
son of bad fire. the showing grows
to an astonishing size.
The North Star will pay tax this year
on one-fourth of it's bullion output, or
on about $128,OOO. When to this is
added its fixed property and machln-
ery. it probably will be the second
largest taxpayer in the county The
returns from the other mines in the
county have not yet been checked.

MAR|COPA NATIONAL
GETS SECOND SAND
Company Operating Near Taft
Strikes Oil at 1900
Feet Depth

TAFT, June 3.-The Maricopa Ma
tional Oil company has struck oil sand
at a depth of 1900 feet. The company
is operating on 6-11-23. in the north
west quarter of the section. Oil was
thrown over the derrick by the heavy
gas pressure. 1t is not known what the
well will produce, and this cannot be
determined until the casing is perfo-
rated, which will be done within the
next few days.
The Boston Pacific Oil company, one
of the oldest in the Midway field, has
struck the second sand in one of its
oil wells recently redrilled. The COM
pany has eighty acres in section 81
! 12-24. and 100 acres in section 80 in the
Sunset Maricopa district. The COM
pany has five producing and two drill
| ing wells. The producers were brought
! in at a shallow depth. ranging from
GOO to 700 feet The we'll redrillled is
doing about 300 barrels per day 1t is
| stated that all the old wells will be
deepened in an effort to get the big
sand. One we'll is down to a depth of
800 feet in section 32-31-24, and the
company will spud in soon for well No.
%. Material is on the ground for three
rigs.
The North American Consolidated
has erected fifteen new rigs on its sew
eral holdings and is planning on put
! ting up forty more.

OPERA COMPANY ON TOUR
NOT FINANCIAL SUCCESS
CaruSo Fails to Fill House at Chi
Cago, but 'ParSifaI Packs 1t

Now that the returns are all at hand
from the recent tour of the Metropoli-
tan Grand Opera company, the New
York Sun concludes that the road
communities do not want high priced
operate offerings. In an editorial the
Sun says:
THE final results of the recent tour
of the Metropolitan Opera company
must leave the promoters of that en-
terprise in doubt on all points but
one. They are quite certain as TO the
extent of their losses and there is
ample evidence that they cannot eX-
pect greater profit from future eXcur-
sions of the same kind. The experience
of the organization after it left New
York supplied no hint as to the best
means of undertaking a similar enter
prise hereafter were it again deeh@Gd
feasible to attempt to interest in opera
the cities outside of New York.
"As Chicago was the center of the
companys operations away from thls
city the degree of support that the
western metropolis gave to the scheme
! has its interest. Only once IN the
four weeks of the company's stay
there was the capacious Auditorium
filled in every place, and that was FOR
a performance of Parsifal.' Not even
the vogue of Signor Caruso, which
showed signs of depletion during the
season at the Metropolitan as well as
| outside of New York, could awaken
sufficient interest in Italian operas tc
! fill the house. The German represen-
! tations, although five were crowded
| into one week, had some degree of sue
| cess. The visit of the Metropolitan
! Opera company to Chicago had the re-
| suit of decreasing its own proposed
/ season next year from twenty weeks
/ to ten. 1t will depend on Chicago's sup
| port of this local enterprise next year
| whether or not it will deserve to be
ranked with such smaller cities as Bos-
ton and Philadelphia in its artlsuo
! tastes. The support of wealthy citizens
will not suffice to establish opera IN q
| town, indispensable as it may be tc
such an effort. There must also be q
response from the public at large.
There were few lessons to learn
! from the experience of the company
| in other cities. Milwaukee, which is
accounted a German city and there
fore may be expected to support its
German opera very feebly, did little
more. however, when the best forces
OF the troupe were put forward II
| Aida and the receipts did not cover
the costs of the performance. 1t was
possible always in the past to praise
/ the northwest's generous support OF
music and deplore the lack of such in
| terest in the south. This year the st
Paul auditorium seating 1000 persons
was crowded for every representation
of the company, but in Atlanta, which
is perhaps southern only in its geo.
graphical position, five performances
drew $4,000; so honors are easy in that
respect this year, although there is nc
section of the United States which is
reality supports music in all its forms
so generously as the northwest"

DENTIST PULLS TEETH
WHERE POE WROTE 'RAVEN'
New Occupant Places Telephone
Where Bust of PaIIaS Stood

NEW YORK, June 3.-Tn the cottage
at Kingsbridge road and Valentine
avenue where Edgar Allan Poe wrote
The Raven" teeth are to be pulled
or filled. The walls within which
"Annabel Lee was composed will
shelter a dentists chair.
The cottage stands opposite Poe
park, having been moved across the
street from it's original site to make
room for city Improvements. 1t is
owned by DR.. e. j. Thauvet. On ac-
count of the changing conditions in
the neighborhood of Webster avenue,
where DIR. Fhauvet has an office, the
dentist has had to move. He an
nounced he had gone into the Poe cot
tage because it was the most avail
able one.
Last year on the occasion of the
centennial of PEGS birth, a bronze
tabl was placed on the outside walls
of this cottage, setting forth that Poe
had lived here from 1916 to 1S49. Be-
side this tablet DR.. Thauvet's shingle
was put up, and in the room on the
first floor, where "once upon {. mid
night dreary' Poe "pondered weak and
wear''" is a prosaic telephone instead
of the bust of Pallas.
The cottage is small shingled
street. 1t had only three rooms, and
III roc ) udy was DdIely IurnlSneQ, DuL
was pleasantly situated" on a little
elevation in the large open space with
cherry trees about it.
With its raven perched over the
door, the cottage tells the sad tale of
Poe's life. He moved into the little
house with his sick wife he so deeply
loved, and there watched beside her in
misery and in poverty until she died.
"The Raven" published in his wife's
illness and when he was in abject
poverty, brought him only SIS, and
even that was contributed, a charity
offered when he told the publisher his
wife was starving.

FAMOUS PICACHO MINE
WILL AGAIN Be WORKED
Lost Silver Ore Bodies in Cobabi
Mountains Have Been
Recovered

TUCSON, June 3--After lying idle
so long that many people in this Sec
ton Of the country almost forgot its
existence, the once famous Picacho
mine in the Cobabi mountains has
again loomed up in local mining cir
cles with the announcement from an
authentic source that one of the orig
inal rich ore bodies, long since lost,
had been uncovered and that the prop
erty gives every indication of becom-
ing one of the country's greatest pro-
ducers.
The Picacho mine became famous as
silver producer in the early tifties.
1t is located about siXty-tiYe miles
southeast of Tucson and is we'll known
to all old-timers. In those days the
richness of its ores was proverbial and
its very name was synonymous with
wealth. 1t was originally located by
Tucson people, but eventually went
into the hands of Juan Padres. Padres
is we'll remembered by the old set
tiers Of the Tucson country as some
what of d unique character. He es-
tablished forty arrastraS on the prop
erty and at one time had them all in
full operation assisting in eXtractiny
the rich white metal from the grosser.
! In those days the ores were brought
to the surface on the heads of Indians,
who climbed up the shaft on notched
poles.
The ores were shipped on OK carts
and burros to HermOsillO and even to
Guayamas, some of 1t being brought
to Tucson and thence shipped to San
Francisco.
1t is known that the ores taken out
of the mine in those days ran as high
as 5000 ounces to the ton and despite
the primitive methods required in min
ing and marketing it, the owner real
lied handsomely on his investment.
Padres in those days was a frequent
visitor to this city and it was no un-
common thing for him to come here
with many thousand dollars worth
of the metal. He was high liver,
! however, and the money was quickly
| spent after reaching Tucson.
! It was in the early eighties that the
| Apache Indians made a raid upon the
| property, killed the miners and broke
up the workings at the mine. About
the same time came the now famous
! drop in the market value of silver.
These two incidents caused the aban-
donment Of the property and for many
years it has been idle, so long, in fact
! that it has almost passed from the
recollection of many people who in the
earlier days were familiar with it,
| 1t finally passed into the hands OF
Frank Hereford of this city, who In
turn sold it to the Cobbi Mining com
pany, a corporation, and S. G. Nc
Wade of this city was made superin-
tendent with instructions, 1t is under
stood, to thoroughly explore the prop
! ertv for possible values.
MIR. McWade engaged in this work
for several months past, but it was
only recently that his efforts were re-
warded with any degree of success.

PACIFIC SUNSET ENTERS
RICH LOWER SANDS AT
1880 FEET; SECTION "a

BAKERSFIELD, June S.-The Pacific
Sunset OIL company, operating on section
80. 1924, struck rich lower sand today in
one of its old wells at depth of 1850
feet, and is now producing from 800 to
400 barrels a day. Owing to great gas
pressure II is impossible to go more than
200 feet in this sand and the exact depth
of the lower oil bearing formation is un-
known. This strike is of paramount inn
portance to this district and is attracting
widespread interest in local oil circles.
Heretofore this western edge of the field
was rated on the production from the
upper sand, the wells producing from 40
to 90 barrels a day. but the opening of
this lower sand at such a shallow depth
makes this and adjoining properties
among the most valuable in the west
side fields. In view of the fact that this
property lies In the line and just across
the section from the great Lake View
gusher it is generally believed that by
going deeper the gusher sand will be
opened. The company will deepen its
other wells and new developments will
he active on adjoining properties.

MONTHS RUN OF TWENTY
STAMPS TOTALS $4,000

TUCSON, June 3.-On Friday, May
10, 1910, the Juarez gold mine in Sonora,
near Caborca, owned by the Mine
Juarez Mining company, Robert Nc
Kinnon of Little Falls, n. Y, presi-
dent, and John E. Mcintyre of No
gales, hung up its twenty stamps and
took final stock
Thirty-five thousand dollars gold
was the result of the months run of
the mill under the direction of Alex.
Hall. who during the six months just
passed worked shoulder to shoulder
with Manager Mcintyre.
Until five minutes before the mill
was shut down all the twenty stamps
were kept pounding, and when hung
up not a pound of loose ore was left
i'm the mine.
Since taking charge Of the Mine
Tuarez MI Mcintyre has accomplished
wonders for his company, and he has
cause to feel proud of the results.
The mine is now closed down indefi-
nitely pending further exploration and
development work.

DEVILS DEN CHANGES
ITS NAME TO PLUTO
Adios. DeYil,s Denl


Some time ago an effort was made
to secure postal service and a post
office for Devils Den and an applica-
ton was duly signed and forwarded to
the postal authorities at Washington
asking for the service.
By return mail comes the informatin
that the name of Devils Den was not
an appropriate name for the postal de-
partment to take cognizance Of, and re-
quested that the name be changed.
A contest was started and several
days ago pluto was proposed and ac-
cepted for the postofice name.
The definition of the selected name
of Pluto Is that, mythologically, he is
the son of Saturn, brother of Jupiter
and Neptune and god Of the internal
regions and will take care Of the peo-
pie who are headed in the wrong direC-
