BIG OPERATIONS
 PLANNED IN MoHAvE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

George P. Harrington, general man. ager of the Nelson Mining Company, who is in the city, from his camp near Crown King, speaks in satis- factory manner of the progress of development, saying that the shaft has reached a depth of 150 feet, since work was started a short time ago, and the determinations made, he says, warrant the outlay of the capital decided upon by eastern stockholders. The main shaft is being sunk on an incline, starting on a point about so feet was reached, this vein was left, in order that the uniformity of the shaft in its dip might be maintained This vein when it was cut showed strong ore bodies of a sulphide character, carrying satisfactory values and better than anticipated. At 100 feet the second vein was struck, which showed more sulphides, and changing in mineral values, native copper coming in much to the surprise of the manage ment. Assays from this point show ed values ranging from s to S6O in gold, nominal silver and a small percentage in copper.
 MT. Harrington anticipated en- countering none of the veins that appear on the surface until cross cutting is encountered. Six veins that are clearly discerniable on the surface, and lying within a distance of 50 feet from the east to the west will be explored. The Nelson mine is regarded as one of the attractive propositions in that field, so far as surface indications are to be con- sidered, having a strong mineraliza- tion on the surface, with more dis tinct Assures in q small area, than any other property in that region.

RAILROAD STARTS
 BIG WAR ON FAKES

WINNIPEG, Canada, July A. The Grand Trunk Pacific has issued form al warning against real estate men who are offering in the name of the railway company to sell lots in bogus townsites along its lines in the west ern provinces, and has given notice that all such people will be prose euted in the courts. D'Arcy Tate, solicitor for the company, states that actions are now pending in the courts against six or seven concerns that are using the company's name, and that all wild-catters will be brought to justice in an endeavor to prevent the repetitiOns of such misrepresenta- tions as have already occurred in number of cases.
 This announcement is official, and states that the company itself has es- tablished all divisional points and stations, and that the sales will be made through its bona-fide agents. The authorities cite as an example of fraudulent advertising the ex- ploitation of the townsite of Alix, on the Calgary Edmonton line of the Grand Trunk Pacific. This has been widely advertised as divisional point and lots have sold at cores pondingly high figures. As a mat ter of fact, the actual divisional point Is at Mirror, some six miles away from the tOwnsite of Alix, and the railway company has no interest whatsoever in the townsite last named. Other instances are cited where the Grand Trunk Pacific name has been used to sell lots in town sites miles away from any station, and without any authority whatso- ever from the company.
 Action has been brought against the Grand Trunk Pacific Transfer Company of Vancouver, to restrain that concern from future trading un- der the name of the big corporation, and will shortly be brought against the Grand Frank Lands Company, which also is a private concern. Scores of real estate companies, en- ployment agencies, hotels, livery stables, transfer companies and groc- cry establishments throughout the west make use of the name of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and it is Presi- dent Hayes intention to put a stop to all unauthorized use of the name Grand Trunk Pacific by any private concern.
 The use of the name by land com panies is described as intended to mis- lead innocent purchasers, for the

ToMBoY SHAFT EXPOSES
 HIGH GRADE ORE.
(From Fridays YalIy.)

Recent discoveries in the Tomboy mine, in the Castle Creek district, owned by the Arizona Mines Develop ment Company, appear to justify the expenditures made on the ground during the last year and a half and, in the opinion of J. W. Nichols, su- perintendent, who is enjoying a vaca- tion in the city, the mine will soon be among the leading producers of the county. On the 300 foot level the ore body is twenty-eight feet in thickness, veinlets of which carry as high as 2s per cent copper, 3S per cent iron and much lime. The entire ore body averages about 12 per cent in the red metal. One hundred feet of drifting and erosscutting has been done on this level.
 The shaft is down 400 feet and another shift has been added to the force to push sinking as rapidly as possible
 Mir. and Mrs. Nichols will enjoy a short vacation with friends here be- fore returning to the mine. This is the first time in fourteen months that he has been away from the camp a single day.

most part those who wish to buy lots for the increase in value follow ing settlement of the surrounding country, and the rapid growth of the towns themselves. Where there is no station service there will be no town, and such sales therefore would
 be fradulent and lead to loss. The public is notified that all sucn ln- tending purchasers should cnumuni- cate direct with the railways agency, the Transcontinental Townsite Com pany, at Winnipeg, and get the facts.

That wild and uninhabitated land will then be zigzagged and it is believed there are enough survivors of the first days of Arizona left alive to give Miss Hall the invalua- ble data she is so zealous to obtain. The trip will undoubtedly be attend ed with hardships and privations, but in this respect Miss Hall faces her official duties inbued with a keen interest and a willing heart to se- cure data that is so much to be cherished and which will complete one of the most interesting chapters in the history of Arizona.
 Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking which faces this nerVy woman may be formed when it is learned that it is her intention to be away until October. The object in going to that particular part of Nevada is due to the, conditions which prevailed when Arizona was first formed as a territory. At that time it contained Piute county, which afterward went to Nevada, where it has remained. The Colorado river was officially designated as the boundary line between the two sec tions in later years, and to gather official data and the personal reni- niscences of that old land, Miss Hall enters the wilderness in the same spirit so many other noble women of the pioneer era faced when the trails were blazed and the country was opened.

Her purpose is to leave that city next week, going to Mohave county, where her journey will be initiated in a long and wearisome trip to the iso- lated regions of southeastern Nevada, where many are still living who will recall events of long ago and who also have stored away in memory some of the vivid doings of other days, of an intensely interesting his- tory of Arizona. Miss Hall will leave Kingman, on horseback, accompanied by a quide, and will be equipped with a complete camping outfit and a limited stock of provisions. She will go into camp whenever overtaken by night, following this characteristic of the Hassayamper in his wanderings when he first came to the country, and had as a guide only the star in the north. The itinerary of Miss Hall as tentatively agreed upon by correspondence takes her through a section of Mohave county which has no resident for over 100 miles to the Colorado river at Scanlon's Ferry, which is uninhabited, and lives in name only nowadays.

SILVER MINING IS ACTIVE NEAR
 TURKEY Four Hundred Ounce Ore Being Shipped to
 Smelter OLD THOMPSON AND SILVER CHORD ARE BEING
 DEVELOPED
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Richard Cmlah, recent arrival from Lower Turkey Creek, brings the information that silver mining in the vicinity of the Silver Chord mine is attaining so much interest that it is believed boom will soon follow from what has been demonstrated in the past few months at several claims which have been under development. He mentions the Running Hide mine which is being operated under lease by James, Cleator and O. I. Tawney. One ear of ore is on the side track at Turkey station that samples 400 ounces to the ton and will be shipped in a few days to either Needles or Humboldt. This old silver mine had lain idle for several years until the present operators took hold a few months ago. Greater depth being reached and the mine showing better than was anticipated, a new gasoline hoist is ready to be installed and the intention is to prosecute development under better conditions than former ly. The property is said to have every indication of becoming a bon anza producer.
 Near by, the old Thompson mine is being worked under the leasing sys- tenn also and a carload of ore shipped to the Humboldt smelter gave net returns of 317 ounces in silver to the ton, or nearly $4,5OO for the ship ment. This mine has reached but a few feet from the surface and is said to be one of the coming heavy pro- ducers in the district.
 At the Silver Chord, recently pur- chased by the Union Development Company, a hoist is being installed, and a small force is pushing devel- opment. Until recently it was under the leasing system, and very rich silver ore was returned. It is better developed than any other mine in that section, and is said to contain very rich silver ores. One ear ship ped by the present management gave satisfactory returns.
 Several individual owners are also at work in the district, in a radius of six miles along the creek, and are said to be doing well. MT. Umlah is of the opinion that there will be one of the most active fields in the country established, and many miners are rushing in to secure locations.

 "In Arizona we have a road law and the appropriations for roads are made for two years.

(Phoenix Republican,

On June 23rd there appeared in the Arizona Gazette this characteristic Washington dispatch relating to the statehood hearing, filled with abuse of Delegate Ralph Cameron and praise of Eugene Brady O'Neill, presumably the author:
 WASHINGTON, June 23.-The hear ing on the statehood bill before the senate committee on territories was concluded this morning, Eugene Brady O'NeiIl appearing for Arizona. Dele gate Ralph Cameron pleading against the admission of the territory he represents, and New Mexico's inter ests cared for by Jones, Fall, and Spies.
 MT. O 'Neill made a strong appeal for the admission of Arizona, pointing out to the committee the great desire of the people of Arizona for the con- stitution which they adopted by a majority vote of eighty per cent, and the necessity for admission be- cause of the great benefit the sta tus will give her in financial, com mercial and colonization ways.
 O'Neill has been working with all his might since his arrival here a few days ago and had the satisfaet- ion today of being told by several members of the committee that his efforts in behalf of Arizona had borne such good fruit that there no longer remains the slightest doubt of the ap- proval of the bill by the committee.
 Delegate Cameron who was expect ed to defend the constitution and ur- ge the immediate admission of his territory, took the same line of op- position he recently adopted in con- gress, denOuneing the constitution of his territory and declaring that Presi- dent Taft would not sign the bill.
 Cameron was allowed to proceed to a conclusion with his diatribe against his territory and his eonstitu- tiOn, and then Senators Chamberlain, Owen, Bristow, Shively and Brown took him in hand. When they had finished he was stripped bare of the least pretension of being faithful to his territory and his people; he had furnished a spectacle which will make Washington laugh for a month to come, and every argument he had advanced against the admission of his territory had been utterly de- molished.
 In English not the most elegant in the world, Cameron had borne down hard upon what he called the fact that President Taft will not sign the statehood bill so long as there is any retention of the recall eff the judiciary in the constitution. This was his main argument and he used it over and over again. When asked how he knew this, he evaded giving a direct answer and when pressed to the wall remained silent
 The committee then passed to the discussion of New Mexico's affairs, outspokenly of the unanimous opinion that Arizona s constitution is ae- eeptable to the people, to congress and with the expressed intention of so reporting to the senate.

 Mr Cameron-From my standpoint it is a reason, because I honestly believe it will prevent our getting statehood

 MT. Cameron-You are in favor of the admission of Arizona, are you not7
 Senator Bristow-I certainly am.
 MT. Cameron-If we can secure Arizona's admission into the union by slight amendment to the resolu- tion now before you and if we can not secure it unless it is amended, are you not in favor of the action suggested7
 Senator Bristow-I am in favor of letting the people of Arizona have the kind of a constitution they want
 Mir Cameron-I am too; but if we cannot get into the union that way, why should we be kept out when so small change will let us inS
 Senator Chamberlain-As a legal proposition, do you think we have a right to formulate a constitution for any territOry9
 MT. Cameron-I think congress has perfect right to make what changes it sees fit in this constitution, pro vided those changes are resubmitted to the people.
 Senator Chamberlain - Then we could rewrite the entire constitution of any territoryi
 MT. Cameron-I think SO; by re- submitting it.
 Senator Chamberlain-I don't think we should do that.
 MT. Cameron-I don't think we should do so either; but I think you have a right to amend the Flood resolution as suggested.
 The rest of the debate was of this tenor and this much of it is repro dueed to show how MT. Cameron was "taken in hand" and "stripped bare'
 As to the questioning regarding MT. Cameron s knowledge of the pur- pose of the president, he did not "remain silent" but he replied that the imprOpriety of stating in ad- vance as a matter of certainty what the president would or would not do, was universally recognized.
 The committee was not so far as the record shows, "outspokenly of the unanimous opinion" that Ari- zona's constitution was acceptable to the president. No member of the committee delivered any opinion bearing upon the attitude of the pres ident toward the resolution.
 The record shows and every Ari- zonian now knows that the committee was not unanimous, three members voting against the unamended reso- lution.
 Thus it appears that MT. O'Neiil entering upon his duties of Washing ton correspondent gave flight to his imagination, thing that well trained Washington correspondents never do. But MT. O'Neill, according to inform ation from the national capital, is not fully recognized correspond ent.
 It is stated: "He has made appli- cation for admission to the house and senate ress galleries as the cores pondent for the Arizona Gazette, but my last information was that he had not been successful in his applied tiOn.''

UNWARRANTE ABUSE
 OF CAMERON EXPOSED

$60,000 for violating the alien con- tract labor law by bringing in of aliens. That provision was put in eur constitution so that when the public work is advertised a eontrae- tor cannot send into Mexico and bring in Yaquis and other aliens and put them at work at a small com pensatiOn in competition with Ameri- can labor. That is why we did 1t, and it will be shown that the con- tract labor law has often been vio- lated on the border"
 The record further shows that MT. Cameron engaged in no "diatribe" against the territory and the con stitution. Not word is uttered against the constitution, MT. Cameron confining his remarks to the support of the minority report, passing his ar gument on the belief that the majori- ty report meant the indefinite delay of statehood. He stated that he was willing as all Arizonans were to SC. cure statehood under the Flood resOlu- tiOn or by any other means but he felt quite sure that the Flood resolu- tion as it then stood would not re- eeive the approval, of the president. On the other hand the Flood reso- lution amended as was proposed by the minority was certain of the -presi- dents approval.
 It is equally false as the en- eomium of MT. O'Neill that "Sena- tors Brown and Chamberlain took him in hand," or that they "stripped him bare" In the various eollo- quies between the delegate and the members of the committee the ut most courtesy was shown by all. When reduced to its lowest terms the only difference beween MT. Cameron and the democratic and in surgent members of the committee, was on the right or power of con- gress to make or enforce any alter ation of the constitution.
 After the opening statement by MT. Cameron the following eolloquy took place and it fairly sets forth the na- ture of the hearing so far as it af- feeted Arizona:
 Senator BrOwn-will you permit me to ask you a question:
 MT. CamerOn-Certainly, Senator.
 Senator Brown-The question is pending here on a resolution passed by the house and sent to our body. What l want to know is do you favor the passage of that resolution in the senate as it came from the housef
 Mir. Cameron-I favor the passage of the minority resolution for the reason that from my personal obser- vation and from a study of the situation, do not belive we will be admitted to the union under the Flood resolution and for that reason I am appearing here today, asking this committee if it will so amend the Flood resolution as to eliminate the recall of the judiciary.
 Senator Bristow-That is, if I un- derstand you, you want us to amend your constitution.
 MT. Cameron-Primarily, have no desire to amend the constitution that the people of Arizona have framed, but I say to you, senator, that  have been in Washington more than two years and that practically all my energies have been expended in this effort to get statehood. there fore feel that I know as much as any one of the situation that now eonfronts Arizona; and say to you that it is my belief that unless this committee of the senate amends the Food resolution we will not be ad- mitted into the union at this time.

BUY MAN WOODEN LEG,
Charities Bureau Issues Another
Appeal.

The Bureau of Associated Charities
wish to send out a SECOND appeal in
behalf of Paul Yaghin, the homeless
Syrian in the City Hospital, whom
they are trying to equip with an ar
tificial leg before he is forced out into
the world to make his living again.
Yagln was a sailor who drifted to
Newark in search of employment and
who was stricken with a strange dis
ease which concentrated in the knee.
Two amputations were made, the last
one taking off the leg at the hip. IT
will soon be necessary to send Yaghin
from the hospital, and those who have
become interested in the case are un-
willing that he should go out handi-
capped with the loss OF his limb. 1t
was not believed that the regular
funds of the Bureau OF Associated
Charities were available for a compar-
alive stranger, so an appeal was made
to the public. Twenty-seyen dollars
lust half of the $54 necessary to buy
the artificial limb-had been donated.
ManN discarded artificial limbs were
sent to the charity rooms at IL Central
avemle, but none of them we're avail
able. Charitable Newarkers are urged
to make up the remaining $21 before
Yaghin must leave the hospital.
