A Collector of Short Newsy Items From Among the Mines efArlxona.

from New York of General Manager Mccarthy of the Live Oak there has been something doing at the mine, with the promise of much more activity in the near future. A hoist has been purchased from the Old Dominion and battery of boilers has been secured from the old Globe Consolidated, all of which Is being moved to the mine. An other compartment will be added to shaft No. 2, making three in all and the depth will be increased from 900 to 1200 feet.
 Winkleman Herald: John Gill len of Lancaster, Kansas, and c. E. Hembrough, of Pennington Kansas, heavy stockholders in the Antelope Park Mining and Milling Co.,, Nick Meyers famous property a short way along the San Pedro from Winkelman, were recent wis., itors to this town. They came to inspect the property, arriving on January 12, and returned to their homes week later. Upon their arrival in Winkelman from the mine, en route to their respective places of residence in Kansas, each man expressed himself as highly pleased with the fourishing con- dition in which he found the pro- perty and the bright prospect for it's speedy arrival as a big copper property.
 Globe Belt: At the Inspiration, the experimental mill is running and construction work on the dam across Pinal creek is in progress. Contracts have been made for much of the material 10 be used in construction work during the next two years. W. H. Aldridge, man. aging director for the Inspiration Copper company; L. D. Ricketts, representing the controlling inter ests in Live Oak, and c. H. Repath, consulting engineer, who will de- sign the concentrator and other works for the Inspiration Con- solidated company, have visited the mines during the past week, and an announcement of the re- suits of the examination and con ference is expected in the near future.
 Miami Messenger; With the ex- ception of part of the grinding machinery, which is en route, the sixth unit at the Miami con- centrator is ready to start. The tables are all in place and have been tried out: An unique expert ment will be made at the big con- centratOr while the heavier parts are en route. Superintendent Gottsberger has ordered the slime from the units in operation to be run over the tables in unit six 10 determine how much of the waste can be recovered. At present the waste will approximate .75 of one per cent. With little trouble and expense MT. Gottsberger believes that reconcentrating of the slime will cut the total waste to less than 30of per cent. If the experiment proves successful 1t will reduce the producing cost of copper at the Miami mine close to : cents a pounds

 MT. Carter has made recovery of many thousands of dollars from the percolating waters from the Gold Road tailings pits and is doing likewise below the Tom Reed The fine tailings and water that percolates through the tailings of the big mill find their level on the land owned by MT. Carter and his partner, Ed.

These silts have value, it is said, of $200 per ton in gold, and while it takes time to get the tonnage, it is proving a profitable industry.
 Parker Post: The old, old story of the magic lure of gold is attract ing seekers after the yellow metal into Whipple Wash, twenty miles north of Parker, on the California side of the Colorado river. Recent developments on the property of the Golden State Mining Company and adjacent claims have caused considerable excitement the past few days and numerous parties of prospectors have gone into the new fields to stake claims. Great in- terest in that section was developed several days ago, when Col. Kit Carson, manager of the Golden State, brought to town a nugget valued at $8, which was found on one of the company's claims. At the point of discovery numerous smaller nuggets were picked up by the miners employed on the Golden State, and those who have visited the district are enthusiastic over the showing. The gold discoveries are not confined to the property of the Golden State by any means. A number of owners of contiguous claims are engaged in developing their ground and ac- cording to all reports they are meeting with good success. In fact. the strike in the Whipples has taken on all of the clements of permanency. A townsite has been located and is nov being laid off into lots. The new town has been chriftened Whipple, after the well known range of mountains and the wash of that name. Two very ex- cellent showings have been uncov- cred on the Golden State, one six feet in width, and the other about eighteen inches wide. The former pans we'll on the surface, while the latter average in the neighborhood of Sl00 to the ton. As depth is gained on the richer ore body, the ore has been widening out ap- preciably, and the manager of the company appears confident that this will develop into rich ore Shoot

First. because he believes in popu-

the principles Of representative de-

genuine and enduring popular gov

Of this country.
Second. because he has demonstrate

Third, because upon the principles
which he has advocated and upon the
progress he has achieved the republi-
can party must stand at the election.
Taft's Ideals Discussed.
Ills whole ambition has been and
is. to render disinterested and effec~
tive public service. His ideal of pub
lie service is the promotion of the
welfare OF the whole people. Under
the most adverse conditions, in spite
of misunderstanding, misrepresenta-
ton and abuse, he has demonstrated
courage, patience and ability, and has
made real and definite progress both
in legislation and administration.
"He has shown that he Is more in
terested in curing evils than in de.
nouncing them, in moving steadily
and surely forward than in talking
about the desirability Of moving for
ward. These it seems to me, are the
qualities peculiarly needed now in the
presidential Office

Rain STORM
FLOODS CELLARS
HARD SHOWER THURSDAY A.
TERNOON ALMOST CAUSES
GREAT DAMAGE IN BUSINESS
DISTRICT. STORM AREA IS
GENERAL AND RAIN WILL CON.
TiNUE FOR THlRTY-S,x HOURS
WILL BENEFIT CROPS.

Thursday afternoon the capital city
was visited by an exceptionally hard
rain shower which was OF short dur.
atiCn. Nevertheless it flooded the
streets in the downtown districts and
in some of the business places the
water flooded up to the Easements
Up to o'clock in the afternoon 1.20
inches of rain fell. There was about
an inch of water over the basement
of the Grand Pacific building, occu-
pied by Golackson's barber shop, and
the Times publishing company. The
Henzler garage was filled with about
foot Of water and the auto pits were
flooded. At the armory the water
commenced to run into the basement
but was confined to one corner. The
sidewalks and street crossings were
in many cases impossible. The flood
emphasizes the need of a storm water
sewer sufficiently large to carry off
the flood waters in such an emery
ency. or one of these days there will
be irreparable loss done to business
firms who store stock in their base
ments.
In many Of the downtown houses
the sanitary sewer backed up, and
the sewer gas was so powerful that
inhabitants were obliged to leave their
places Of business for a few minutes.
This was especially true at the Trl-
bune building, the Grand Pacific, the
Armory and other places. This is
said to be caused by the fact that in
many places the roof drains empty in
to the sanitary sewer instead of the
storm water seMer, and in case of a
storm such as occurred Thursday the
drainage from the roofs is so wreat
tina that it fills the sanitary sewer too
Bismarck was visited by light show
ers Wednesday night. which devel-
oped into heavy rains before Thurs
day noon. The rain continued DUR
ing the afternoon, not as a steady
down pour, but coming as hard show
ers at frequent intervals.
The indications are for general
rain storm over North Dakota. Mon
tana and Alberta. The rain will con-
tinue for SO hours. The moisture will
put the ground in the best possible
condition for spring work and seed
ing. 1t is the hope of all that there
will be similar rain storm after the
seed is sown. Conditions at present
were never more favorable toward
assuring a splendid crop, and 1912 is
to be a banner year in the
history of the state.

to secure effective conservation laws.
Knows Value of Conservation
'He is conservationist who ap-
preciates that conservation will be
a useful and enduring policy only to
the extent that We make it practical
and constructive policy" said the
secretary.
Secretary Fisher reviewed the at
titude of President Taft upon the tar

than any other man." to establish
scientific revision of schedules, and
he cited his advocacy Of the amend

enforcement Of the antitrust laws,
as indicative of his thorough admin
