 It was but a year or two after his reelection to the Senate in 1903 that Senator Platt's s power as the undis- puted boss of the Republican party in New York state began to wane. He elashed with Governor Odell and has hand was not strengthened as result of the contest. Very soon there after his health began to fail and he lost much of his old-time vitality. He was confined to his room for long periodat a time and was unable to take an active part either in busi- ness or politics. The result of his advanced age, failing health and mat rimOnial troubles was that before he reached his seventy-ffth birthday he found himself shorn of most of his old-time political power

S1OO, 900 TO BE PAID FOR
 MINE NEAR KELVIN

Fifty thousand dollars, which now lie in one of the Phoenix banks, will be turned over to R. 1T. Renfro in this city, on April l, as the first pay pent on the purchase by parties act ing for the Ray Consolidated, for the Renfro group of forty claims, four miles east of Kelvin and adjoining the TrOy-Manhattan property, says the Phoenix Democrat.
 Renfro, who was in Phoenix today, closed the deal for the sale of the big group of copper claims several days ago, the conditions being that the buyers will pay $5O,OOO on April and follow with more payments until the $5O,OOO more has been placed in Renfro's hands.
 Eleven years ago Renfro came to Arizona to prospect for gold and sil- yer. He went through Pinal county, but passed by the copper claims in searchof gold and silver. Later he returned, and about ten years ago To- eated the group.
 For ten years Repfro has been do- ing the annual assessment work. He gave a small interest in the claims to two others for work they have done to comply with the law regard ing annual assessments.
 "As soon as I get my money, am coming to Phoenix, and put the most of it into real estate," said Renfro this morning. "'I like the looks of this town, and I believe I'll live here the restof my life. am sixty years old, now, and have tramped around in the hills long enough. want to enjoy life in the city"
 When he gets his money, Renfro will have made his second big stake as a prospector. Several years ago he sold the Brittle Silver mine in the San Juan district of Colorado for S6O,OOO Much of this he lost in spec ulation and much of it went in help ing his friends.
 Renfro at one time could have dis posed of the group he is now selling and received $25O,OOO. He was offer ed 5O,OOO shares in the Troy-Nanhat- tan for his holdings, and the stock afterward went to $5 per share He stated today that he did not feel bad about his loss, as the sum he is get ting will be more than enough to keep him in comfort for the rest of his life.

GOOD WORK IS
 BEING DONE ON MINE
(Wickenburg News.)

". E. Balcom, general manager of the Ruby Gold and Copper company, operating the old Billy Mack prop erty, near Parker, passed through town en route to- Santa Cruz county, 10 transfer some machinery and four of five teams of work stock from that place to the Ruby camp, where a large amount of work is being done. Mir. Baleom says that he is dO- ing some erosseutting on the 200 foot level and that he expects to do some more sinking after finding what they are expecting on the 150 and 200 foot levels. They now have a fine showing at an intermediate point on a blind ledge between the 100 and 150 foot levels and fifty feet under and south of the main ledge. The ore shows fine values in gold and copper. The working force is to be increased right along as room is made for ad- ditional men. The company is now erecting a number of new buildings among which is a large conuissary and sore room, and a fully equipped up to date assay office with the latest machinery. The Ruby property, al- though operating as a company, is owned by c. H. Ferry, a New York capitalist, who is now at camp where he will visit for a few weeks. He is also owner of the Salero Mines com pany camp in Santa Cruz county. This camp is known as one of the finest in Arizona, and has been kept up by MT. Ferry in such fashion that a change of men in camp was of rare Occurrance on account of the entirely satisfactory condition. The camp is like a modern city, having water piped to each house and a good sewer system. It also has its club room, reading room, shower bath and change room for the miners, and none of them are ever seen after work with their working clothes on. They leave the mine looking as nice as any gentleman in the land. They are given all the comforts possible with the result that the conduct of the camp is very satisfactory. It is the intention of the company to run the Ruby Gold and Copper company camp on the same lines.

UNITED VERDE DOING GOOD
 WORK
(Jerome News.)

The United Verde Copper company has a gang of men at work on their Oak Creek water power. They are doing preliminary work on a dam that is to be built.
 Two shifts are now at work at the Little Daisy, and report is that some good formation is being struck in the south drift.
 A letter from the financial agent of the Rothermal-Ross company brings the good news that he has been sue cessful in financing that proposition, and that development work will soon be started on that property.
 The closing down of the Haynes this week came as a big surprise to the residents of Jerome and the Verde district. The Haynes company has been among the best companies that has ever worked in the Jerome dis trict. Their work has been of the best and most promising in the dis ITlCl. It IS dlsO NSll hhOhu ldCb that they were at a point in the de- velopment where the showing was most encouraging. It is believed that because of this showing that the work will soon be started again, but, as they have abandoned the shaft to the water, it does not look very en- couraging. General Manager Camp bell, who was here when the mine was closed, stated to a News reporter that he could not make any statement be- fore returning from Los Angeles, where he is now in consultation with the officials of tn ecompany.
 Superintendent Gilmore of the Flu reka is in from that promising prop erty. He reports that each shift i'm proves the looks of the property, and that he believes that but very little more work will be necessary to ex- pose a body of pay ore. Work on this property will continue.
 There seems to be nothing what ever in the reported sale of the Cop | per Chief to Senator Clark. Those vii tally interested in the property in- ] form the News that there is no truth whatever in the report. MT. Hendy, who has been in charge of the prop erty for years, says that he has been in the hills so long that he has be- come very tired of them, and that, as he informed the News a few months ago, he and his family are moving to California for a change, and where they will make their future home. The report was started, it is supposed, from the fact that Superintendent Taylor of the United Verde company, purchased from MT Hendy his horses, wagon, saddles, etc. MT. Taylor will use this outfit in connection with his ranch in the valley. It is understood that the Sinclair-Putnam bond on the Copper Chief has some time to run yet.
 At the Cleopatra all interest is set tied on the winze thatis being sunk from the drift near the stope. As deapth is obtained in this winze the ore body is increasing in size and richness. President Hull is much pleased with developments at this point. The stoping of ore continues at this property, and the sorting of ore at the shelter is also being hur- ried along.
 On the Hull work in the drifts is proceeding with the result that more ore is being exposed.
