Future of the Rio Virgin Valley
 of Mohave County.

The Rio Virgin Valley of which Mo- have County has part, in the N. w. corner of our state, is rapidly coming to the front by the installing of good roads from Salt Lake to the Pacific coast. This is to be an international road from coast to coast. The state oi Nevada has appropriated large sum of money to build this road from Las Vegas to Mesquite, and the state of Utah now has the matter before them to connect it with St. George, and the Rio Virgin Irrigated Fruit Land Co. a private concern, has promised it's aid to make the link in Mohave County This road will run near it's main canal. They are at work on dam at the narrows and expect to have water some time in 1914, when about 100 acres of the best fruit and garden land will be thrown on the market. This land can be secured under the Desert Land Act, for a very small amount and offers good opportunities for those wishing a home.
 Good roads We all like to travel over, and nothing hel ps to build up a country like them. The automobile has made no distance too far and in the near future we will see them going through. this Valley to Cali fornia, and especially there will bt many who will take this delightful trip to see the fair in San Francisco il 1915, and will have a good chance to see what Mohaye county can produce, with little irrigation. The present road is very poor one, which lies in the river bottom, and during the spring the high waters make it al- most impossible, and even dangerous. The farmers all have lost much land by the freshets and floods and are very anxious to see this road go through, which will be up on a mesa away away from all danger, and also to move their homes up on the high land and use the water from the ditch of the Rio Virgin Irrigated Fruit Land Co.

Castle Creek District
 is On Up Grade.

Mining industry is taking on new i life up our way. Many prosDectors are in the field and new properties are being uncovered almost weekly. Many of these may prove valueless, of course, but some will turn out divi- dend producers. We are getting over the curse of wildcatting of a few years back. All needed now to make mn- ing in Arizona boom as never before is to make it so hot for any attempted wildcattlng that none will be attempt ed"
 This is the way E. c. Rudd, the well known mining man of the Wick enburg district, talked Saturday even- Ing to a representative of The Demo- crat. Rudd has some promising cop- per and gold claims in the Castle Creek district on which he is oolng a lot of work and about which he is doing very little talking, a way real legitimate mining men have. How ever, he has shaft in the Buckhorn, l50 feet. ffty-foot cross cut and splendid looking pay streak about sixteen inches wide, which is running about ten per cent copper and averag- ing twelve dollars in gold. The streak is widening and has every indication of permanency.
 Rudd drove shaft through the foot wall and ran into a body of sul- phides running well into gold and 'copper. Best of all, the body of ore is described by some of the best known United Verde miners as being identi- cal with the great body of ore which has been piling up millions for Clarke at the United Verde.

A Great Property.

J. c. Wilson, deputy mine inspector for Arizona, returned last Saturday from visit to Copperville, where he examined the mines of the Arizona Southwestern Copper company. He reports that never since he left Ward ner, Idaho, had he seen such q great body of lead ore as that opened in the mines of the Southwestern Copper. The vein was cut in several places on the 200 level and more than sixteen feet of ore of milling grade exposed, while beyond that there is another vein that shows seven feet of solid galena ore. In some places this ore body is still wider than that, but to say that seven feet is good enough goes. This ore will be opened through drifts and the ore shipped direct to the shelter without milling, while the great mass of ore opened along the HOO foot drift will be put through the big milling plant, now nearing con- pletion. Mr. Wilson stated to a MINER reporter that he thought he had seen some of the big things in Arizona. but this mine is far and away the greatest ore bearing body in this section of the state. He reports that work is being rushed on the mill and that an effort Is being made to get it Tn commission within the next sixty days.

hat lnoch,c 'n)lth y)ll1 witness al increase to l5 cents or better.
 The miners. while disappointed over the conditions which made the reduc- tion possible, are not fin Hing any fault with the companies and look forward with confidence to an increase in the price this month and consequently a restoration in the wages In another four weeks to at least 3 75S q day.
 It is quite generally rumored that the Anaconda company was not dis posed to take advautage of the agree ment and reduce the wages for March, but some of the smaller companies in- sisted that the agreement should be lived up to the letter and the Aua- conda company therefore consented to act accordingly.
 The agreement is that when copper is r cents. or better, the wages shall be 45 day: below + cents pound, 3. 75S day, and below l5 cents pound, 3.50S day.

The End of the Con Mercur.

On March Both, the Consolidated Mercur Mines company of Mercur, Utah, ended it's long and fruitful ca reer. This was Utah's largest gold producer. It's operations were famous the world oyer. Some twenty years ago the district had boom, at which time some slick promoter induced a crowd of Nebraska farmers to part from some of their coin in return for stock in the Mercur property. These men had no experience in mining, and their first visit to the property was not reassuring, for it was thought that they had surely been swindled. The only market for the stock was the un suspecting and innocent. Tests made on some of the unpromising looking ore at Omaha revived the interest of the owners who returned to Utah and formed merger of the principal properties under the present name. The company was organized in July, 1900
 The Mercur mill was the first suc- csssful cyanide plant in the United States, and when the large 1000 ton plant was built, it was the last word on gold milling.
 The mine has produced 5,700.000 tons of ore and has paid in dividends $3, 4l5, ,3l2.97, from the production of about l5.000,000 worth of ore. Of late years the company has been treat. ing ore running little over 1925 a ton. The life of the mine has been prolonged several times by new dls- coveries.
 The town of Mercur was dependent on this industry aud will now be de- serted.-Salt Lake Mining Review.

Discovers Old Mine,
 Thinks it Bonanza.

special to The Democrat from Winkelman says:--James A. George, well known mining man of Arizona, reports he has been successful in re- locating an old mine, abandoned over 20 years ago when the price of silver went down to an unprotitable figure, and that the showings in the aban- Goned shafts are such as to justify hopes of fortune from their working now.
 The mine is located about twenty two miles southwest of Winkelman. It was formerly worked almost eX- clusively as a silver proposition but an examination has revealed fine ledge of lead running forty per cent. There is a streak of two and half feet of fine silver and an assay of rocl: reveals about six dollars in gold.
 There is an excellent road to within a short distance of the property, and plenty of fine water at from twelve to forty feet. The mine was first worked twenty-four years ago and forty tons of the richest ore were shipped from two inclined shafts forty feet deep. After the mine was abandaned the shafts caved in.
 George found the mine after thirty days search. He is firmly convlnc ced he has bonanza.

Sporting Editor The Washington Herald,
Dear Sir: inclose clipping of the Tur-
ner-Yokel wrestling match. Although de-
feated. Turner got the greatest ovation
ever given a visiting wrestler in Salt
Lake. Turner made a great hit with
the wrestling enthusiasts here. not only
on account of his gameness and speed
and willingness to mix at all times. but
also on the true craftsmanship which he
displayed in admitting that he was de-
feated fair and square.
Salt Lakers had heard Gehring and
Walter Miller make all sorts of excuses
after their defeat. although they did not
put up such an exhibition for gameness,
science, or speed as Turner did. After
Turner made his little speech, there were
more than one thousand men all trying
to shake his hand at the same time, and
there are many here who believe that
Turner would have an excellent chance
to beat Yokel in the East. or even here
II he remained long enough to become
acclimated before the match.
ALTHOUGH he was suffering with, bad
cold. and no doubt the altitude affected
him to a great extent, he had no excuse
to offer. but had words of praise for
the man who defeated him.

FEDERATION Will
Petition A. A. U.
Athletes Are Strong for a Separate
Branch in the District of
Columbia.
ASK RECOGNITION BY MAIN BODY

The mass meeting of the Amateur
Federation of the District was held last
night in the clubrooms of the Y. NJ. C.
A. 1t was well attended by representa-
tives of the clubs under the ruling of
the Federation and many Of the men,
bers of the A. A. L. who have had the
black mark of suspension chalked
against them for competing in Fedora
tion meets. The former A. A. u. men,
bers showed much enthusiasm on all
subjects brought before the board.
The main business was the passing
of resolution that a five-men commit
tee be appointed TO send a petition to Mr..
James Sullivan. of the main body of
the A. A. U. for recognition of the Dis
trict amateur athletes and clubs as a
separate branch from the South Attain
tic Union. This committee is to be ap-
pointed in the near future, with Presi-
dent Shurtleff, of the Federation, as
its spokesman.
The same old plea of not bucking the
\. A. L. was very much in evidence,
and the grand cry of recognition of the
local athletes was scented everywhere
in the air.
The federation deserves a good deal
of credit for the showing 1t has made
that it has run of and controlled. as
II has copped all of the local athletes
of any prominence and greatly wrecked
the A. A. U. in this section. The off,
cials of the Southern branch know this
only too well, and by well-informed
authority on this matter they are ready
TO compromise with the athletes and
the federation.
Another important subject called to
the attention of the board was that q
committee, composed of Mr.. Foley, Of
the Memorial Club: Mr.. Wellington.
of the Washington Fairgrounds Asso-
citation, and Prof. Beckett. of the Y.
NJ. C. A, be appointed to tender a
resolution to a local newspaper In
reference TO its recognition of all ANA
teur athletes in the District. whether
members of the A. A. L., A. A F. OF
the District. or otherwise, in the Mara
thon which it is TO run in two weeks.
