Copper People of Jerome Active

EX-Senator w. A. Clark and son. w. A. Clark, jr., ,arl ived from Butte. Mort t. yesterday, and went direct to Jerome f.'om Jerome Junction, where they will remain for probably two weeks to make their customary examination of u e interests. The coming of Senator Clark at this time is to pass upon many important matters affecting the future of his large mining and smelling inter- ests, in view of the completion of the Verde Valley railroad within the next six months.
 They were joined at Jerome Junction by Will l.. Clark, general manager, Charles Clark, a son, and Wm. Neagle of the mining engineer department, the party returning from a mine ex- animation trip near Parker and on the California side of the Colorado river. Chief Engineer McGuire of the Salt Lake railroad, was with the party, and it is said will lay out the line of the railroad from the mouth of the tunnel below Jerome to the site of the new shelter in the Verde Valley.-Prescott Journal Miner

Protesting Mine Owners.

From all over the county come pro
 tests against the recent law passed by the Arizona legislature making min | ing claims liable for all debts incurred | by parties operating them under bond
 lease or option. To many this would cut out leasing and bonding of mines, as no one wants to lose their mining claims nor be held liable for such debts. Even the men who work in the mines feel that the law will take away from them large amount of de- sirable work. Mohave county is as yet in its infancy in the mining game, as are many of the mining counties of the State, and it is unfair to the men that have worked early and late to bring their properties to point where they might attract capital to have all possibility of a sale taken from them by such law. It is up to the miners and those that believe that the mine owner is entitled to some protection, to get a petition numerously signed and file it with the Secretary of the State, which will act as stay. until the law is passed upon at the Novem. Der election by the voters of the state.

Seven Modern Wonders.

The seven wonders of the modern world. as selected by the faculty graduates and seniors of the Chemists eminary of Cornell University, make an interesting comparison with the seven wonders of the ancient world. The seven modern wonders are gwen as wireless-telegraphy, synthetic chem istry, radium, anti-tOXins. aeroplanes. the Panama canal and the telephone. Another classification is: the telephone, the trolley car, the incandescent lamp. the steelframe sky-scraper, the Hoe rotary press, and the typewriter. The seven wonders of antiquity as given by the Anti.pater were the walls of Babylon, the statue of Genus bv Phi dias at Olympia, the hanging gardens at Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes. the pyramids of Egypt, the mausoleum at Haicarnassus and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. This cycle is said to have been formed In Alexandran times, about 220O years ago. The world has advanced considerably in that time, but the old wonders still testify to the big things mankind could do loEg centuries ago. Gallup Repub lican.

Tom Reed Gets
 Neglected Group.

From reliable source we get the in
 formation that meeting of the di
 rectorate of the Tom Reed was helt
 yesterday at Pasadena and arrange
 ments were made for the taking over of the Neglected group of mines
 These mines have been sunk on to a considerable depth and great body of water was opened, as well as great vein of ore. The property is owned by Dr.. James $. George, who has been operating it for the past two years. The main vein of the group is said to have an ore body twenty feet wide. This body of ore is of good milling value, while part of the vein is high grade. The shaft has been sunk to a depth of about 400 feet and drifts run on this level. It is understood that the Tom Reed company will pump the water to their mill and that a tram way will probably be constructed be- tween the two properties and the great bodies of ore extracted and mil led. The sale is for cash, the con- pany considering the propcsa al of Dr. George.
 The purchase of the mines will not only give the Tom Reed the necessary water for the expansion of its milling plant, but will give them unlimited ores for years to come, and add large ly to the company's estate. The con- pany is one of the strongest in the state and has great treasury to draw upon for the necessary funds for bet terments and purchase of new terri tory. Its last dividend amounted to four per cent of it's capitalization, being the monthly dividend for May, payable next week. While dividends are paid at the rate of 36 to 40 per cent on it's capital, it is enabled to lay away reserves to practically the same amount. At the present rate of pro- duction the company can pay back the investment of it's shareholders every year. With it's contemplated better- ment at the mill and the purchase of greater estate the shares of the con- pany should soon be quoted around ten dollars. The management of the con- pany has been one of the greatest sue. cesses in the mining history of Ari- zona and the shareholders have ex- pressed their confidence by reelecting the old board two consecutive times.

The report is general that the Vest ern Arizona railroad will commence the extension of its line from the pres ent terminal at Chloride to the Ten nesSee mine, where it will be extended to the bunkers of the Rainbow Moun- tain Mining company, where the aerial tram is now delivering the ores from the mine. The building of this part of the Chloride line is a necessity. as the haulage to the railroad from the big properties is large item of ex- pense. With the cutting out of this expense the companies may be able to ship lower grade ores to the smelter and concentrators at Needles. The company will also build depot in the town and make the delivery of passen- gers and freight much greater con- venience than at present. With the railroad a mile from the town the peo- pie of Chloride have had much to con- tend with and the railroad owes them an apology for the many years they have had to put up with the inconven- fence.
