RICH RETURNS FROM

A body Of ore weighing several
hundred pounds was brought into
Wickenburg last week from the Tiger
Gold companys mines. taken from the
400. 500 and 600 foot levels. The ores
attracted much attention, and the re-

wide comment in mining circles.
Two samples were taken from each
drift. each showing the same mineral
characteristics. which establishes a
continuous ore body of immense ton

for the twenty stamp mill for at

NEW VEIN OPENED
IN ORC PLATA MINE
Body of Rich Ore Is Found BY Drift
From the Adit Level.

4 drift from the adit level Of the
orc Plata mine in Mohave county
broke into a new vein last week and
opened up a two foot body OF ore that
runs S91 in gold. and some silver. When
the mine was operated some years ago
the belief was that all the veins had
been cut, but this particular vein was
found To be but four feet beyond the
end of the last crOsscut. o. i. stan
ton. the manager of the property. had a
survey made of the underground works
of the mine, says the MOhave County
Miner. and il was found that there was
another vein missing from the develop
ed part of the mine and workmen We're
put at work to open il while the mine
was being pumped out. This vein is
entirely virgin ground and t is eX-
pected To produce a large tonnage Of
ore between the adit level and the $50
foot level.
While Mr.. Stanton was at jerome
last week he practically made arrange
ments for the delivery of $4,000 tons of
highly silicious ores to the Clerk smell
ter at a satisfactory price. This ore is
in the dumps and slopes above the adit
level and carries values above $23 gold.
1t also carries nearly ninety per cent
silica, which makes it desirable for
converter lining. Be'oW the aGit level
there are many thousands of tons or
ore that can be gotten at readily. and
if not concentrated on the ground may
also go to the smelters. Mr.. Stanton
is getting things in shape for great ac-
tivity and will push the work of de-
velopment below the old level as fast
as possible.

THE ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.

Recent studies of the great problem
make it appear that petroleum may
have both organic and inorganic ORR
gin While admitting the former
cause. George F. Becker of the United
States Geological Survey. finds that
some oil has been produced away
from any life remains, and he thinks
it quite probable that the mass of
the earth may contain hydrocarbons
The compass gives evidence that oil
may result from iron carbides.
Petroleum occurs in many localities
where magnetic disturbances indicate
the presence of metal, such as the bet
ter iron ores, and this association is
particularly marked in the Appalachian
oil field and i'm California.

WILL BUILD AN

FIRST BAPTIST
Will Have Fifteen Separate
Class Rooms.
viii Meet Necessities Of the Growing
Sunday School and Enable the
Work to Be Carried on to GIelteF
Advantage.

The First Baptist church will prob
ably erect a handsome Sunday school
annex to the church building in the
near future.
This was practically decided upon
at the meeting of the church last
week
1t was then pointed out that the
necessities of the growing Sunday
school were such that more space
must be available to meet its require
ments At the same time the eff
cheney of the work could be advanced
by a system of separate class
rooms.
1t was accordingly decided to Sc
cure plans for an annex to the build
ing, to be erected in the rear, that
would embrace fifteen class rooms OF
suitable size, permitting each class to
have its own apartment, where it
might continue it's work under the
most favorable conditions.
Architect Lockwood, of Columbus,
has been engaged to prepare plans for
the proposed annex, and to submit a
statement Of the probable cost.
AS the church is in excellent finan-
cial condition it is quite probable that
it will be decided to build the annex
and that work on it will be under
way as soon as spring opens.

GOV smith is
STUDYING FINANCES
Fixing Himself for His Sec.
Ond Term in Office.

Atlanta, Ga, January 7.-Will Gov.
Elect Hoke Smith be a candidate for
the United States senate at the next
session of the legislature?
This question has been asked re-
peatedly during the last few months
and with the beginning of the new
year it has come again. In the alb
sence of any statement from Mr..
Smith himself-for lie is silent on the
subject-one is forced to draw conclu-
sions.
The impression has been growing
that Mr.. Smith will not be a candi-
date for the senate. This is gathered
from his actions, which it may truth
fully be said, are directed toward
plans for his coming administration.
Not long ago, as will be recalled,
Mr.. Smith gave out an interview on
the agricultural interests of the state.
The statement showed a close study
of the needs of the Georgia farmers.
Just at this time the governor-elect
is engaged in study of the financial
system of the state and has been in
conference both with the comptroller
general and the state treasurer. 1t IS
understood that Mr.. Smith will issue
detailed statement in the course Of
the next week making some important
recommendation in regard to the Ii
nances of the state.
1t is quite apparent, therefore, that
Mr.. Smith is deeply engrOssed i'll mat
ters affecting his governorship and
those close to him say that he has
given no thought whatever to the sem
atorship. 1T looks like he will not be
candidate for the senate.
