Oil in Verde Valley.

F. W. Hall, president of the Yuma Verde Oil Company, in which q good many Yuma people are interested, has received 8 letter from l.. B. Goddard stating that oil in paying quantities has been struck in the Verde Valley at depth of 1,12O feet. It is stated that when the water is cased off this well will be a pay pumping proposition at this depth and may develop much better with greater depth. This well is four miles down the valley from the YumaVerde well. Oil has now been struck in both ends of the valley. The Yuma Verde well is between these two wells and looks like it is certain to be winner when it is caSed and sunk to the pro- per depth. Sun.

 Word was received here to- night that MT. Douglas and Secretary s. P. Applewhite had crossed the border safely into the United States this after noon.
 It is explained that the de- mand made upon him by the mob was that he leave the coun- try or give them all work. Be cause of the unsettled conditions here it would have been i'm possible to have provided all idle men with employment.

Pans Free Gold.

Ore brought by Ed. Block from the new shaft on his Best Friend group has been banned by him and found to carry free gold from the surface down. Six pannings were made, giving results ranging from S5 to $25O per ton. The ore is hematite, and is a band or rib in vein which is fully forty feet wide.
 Beside the iron ore carrying gold, there is also a streak of ore which carries from per cent to 35 per cent copper, with a little copper glance of even higher copper value. Two shafts have been sunk upon the vein, one being upon the foot wall and the other upon the hanging wall. A contract has recently been let by MT. Block for a crosscut at a depth of about sixty feet, which will determine the character of the vein from wall to wall.-Prescott Courier.

SANTA CRUZ COUTY.
Interesting Mining News from the
 Santa Cruz Patagonia1.

Mike Hannan, the oldtimer of Bisbee, is still in the district, and will doubtless decide to make an investment in the mines of
 Patagonia.
 A. w. Crittenden, one of the leasers Of the old Harrison group was a passenger on Thursday mornings train for Bisbee, on a business visit.
 Men are at work putting the old Bradford shaft in condition for work again. The old works have been nnwatered, and it is probable the shaft will be put down another hundred feet. E..
 The ore brought in last week by Alex McDonald, from his Century claim in the high Santa Ritas' assayed 261.2 ounces of silver to the ton, 7.3 per cent copper and 4.3 per cent lead.
 Oscar A. Turner, a mining man, represen ting the Four Metals Company, arrived in Pa tagonia Monday and was imIni diately driven out to the proper Gy or UIlO com Odny.
 This week the Royal Blue shipped out a couple of carloads of copper ore to Fl PasO. The Royal Blue is the lease of Fraser & Mcdonald, in the Salero coun- try and is a faithfully producer.
 W. A. Mcdonald, who with Tom Fraser, are shipping out ore this week from the Royal Blue, in the Salero district, went to spend a few days with his family.
 Richard Fleischer, of Fleis- cher & Schuckmann, was in town Monday from the camp of the Arizona European Company, near Three R, bringing with him some samples of very high grade ore. In a short time a shipment will be made from this property. and judging from the rock brought to town by Mir. FleiS- cher. the returns will be some thing immense.
 Chas. McHenry and Messrs. Ernest Morris and Milo W. Por- ter have secured lease upon the Domino claim of Gray bro- thers, near the Three R. Work has been commenced and it is expected more high grade silver ore will be shipped from this property in short time. The last carload of ore shipped from this property brought back re- turns from the smelter of 34O ounces of silver to the ton.
 A contractor for shaft of one and one-half compartments, POO feet deep, has been let to c. H. Schultz on the Mammoth claims recently bonded by Clement Guion IT and associates. Latest improved machinery has also been ordered for this property, and will be in place in few days. Work is to proceed at once on this ground, and judging from the extra ordinary surface indications, mine will surely be opened up.
 The best ore yet encountered in the Blue Lead, the property of Kellogg 6 Crawford, has been made in the new tunnel, No. ,, the contract for which was re- gently let to Francisco Torres. This tunnel was put in only about GO feet when the ore was cut. The contract calls for a 200 foot tunnel, and the ore en- countered is a vein from 12 to IS | inches thick.

RENTING IDLE PROPERTIES. Many Old Mines Gan Nov Be Made
 to Pay.

In every mining q IS tri t
 found properties, sometimes only
 one, again, a number, that are
 lying idle. Some of these prop
 critics may have been closed
 down for only a short time,
 others may have been idle for
 many years.
 There are various causes for
 lack Ot life at such properties,
 aside from that of being worked out. Differences between those
 in control, disagreements, with no one willing to give in and allow the other party to take hold and run things; lack of funds; change in the character or lessening of the value of the ore; any one of these things may operate to cause a shut down.
 But whatever the cause, there is often to be found in such prop critics the opportunity for some one with the ability to take hold and bring the property once more into the producing CO., lumnS.
 It may be that in the early days the mine was productive of rich ores, which paid a pro- fit even with long haul to market. When this rich ore gave out, the owners found it no longer profitable to operate and closed down until conditions changed. Many such properties, for example, may be found in Nevada
 Then perhaps after years have passed, comes the railroad. Or possibly method of handling the ore with a closer saving of values, or at lower cost of operation, is devised. When such time has come, the original owners may long have been dead, or no longer desire to take ac- tive charge. Then it is when the new capital comes in, and once more there is a producing mine sending forth it's wealth, returning profits to those inter- eSted,
 In tances too, have been known where those in control of a mine have allowed their personal differences to become magnified to such a degree that they are willing to close down the property rather than to see the 'other fellow" win his point. In the course of time such prop critics usually pass into the hands of some one who is willing to attend strictly to the business and once again the property is put on a paying basis.
 When, however, it is a lack of money that cause the shut down, then it is time for quick work on the part of those concerned. New blood, with new ideas and the needed money, has often worked wonders in such cases. And, too, an awakened interest on the part of those owning the property, or holding the stock in the owning corporation, has more than once brought the touch of life that wrought the difference between success and failure.
 Whatever the cause may be, the fact that property is lying idle is not of necessity sign that it is worthless.
 Rather, indeed, it is more like ly that there is then presented an opportunity for the right man to take hold and bring a profit a failure.-Denver

Warren Deserving OF the Results.

The election of U. S. Senator Warren to succeed himself is graf
flying to all the people in this state who are interested in its welfare.
If it were possible to get the people to read and keep posted on what
Warren, Mondell and others are doing for this state and what they
have done, they would be returned year after year, with a three
fourths majority of all the peoples votes. These men n worthy of
your confidence, and it is with gratitude that we se them go back to
their work in Congress. We have got tired of printing the many
things day after day that our representatives do for this state for the
simple fact that when election comes around people set up and say
"What have they ever done9 Showing thereby that they don't read
the things of interest to their welfare and if they do they forget them
when election comes around. Then when these questions IT asked,
we open up with a few suggestions as to what they have done. and
then some of the people say it is political dope. Thanks though,
that there m a 8 a rule, enough people who do remember and the
final results pay us for our work for this great state. May Senator
Warren he returned again and again till he has accomplished, in part
what he has set out to do.

The Income Tax.

incomes of all sources over $4,000 per year will be watched with in.
terest. just what amendments will have to be made to it from time
to time Is hard to say. The method will have to be worked out by
Congress, yet as to the start, and we will watch it with great ;nterest
as there is 30 many faxes to be considered. What means will the
average man of $4,000 income, do to meet the tax. Will he charge
Just the same per centage on his business or will he raise his 10 co.
age. Will he charge a bigger profit or more interest in order to meat
it, and in the long run, won't the people have to pay the tax, in ad.

Leave the Fish Law Alone.

There has been considerable manipulation at every session of the
Legislature of this state with the 6sh law. For the love of Mike
leave it alone. We do not want any license fer fishing. The fish be-
long to the state, aud the people of the different sections of this state
are entitled to all the fish that they want for their use and should re-.
Hceiye them and be entitled to catch them without a license. The ont
side people who come in every year bring thousands of dollars and
while it would not be much of an object tothem to have to buy a Ii
cense, it might in a great many cases be just enough to turn them to
some other state where they didn't have to secure license. 1t would
not be the amount of cost to them, but the indignation they would
feel. If the state can't afford to keep up the fish in this state for
the peoples benefit, then let them stop stocking the the streams
and catch out what there is and wind it all up. There is ever a fool
present in every session who thinks he can't go back home to his con-
sttuants without having made some REVISION to the game or fish law
Let well enough alone.

will Probably Get His'n.

There lis at this time before the legislature a bill to create a new
board of Immigration, making the Governor, Treasurer and Auditor
the Board, and it should meet with the approval of the people all
over this state. The imported boy Schenck, who has accomplished
the squandering of the states money in the past two years will proba-
bly, take a back seat, and when he does, he will go back to Colorado
where he belongs, and may it be q long time before the people of this
state has to again put up with a like importation. While $4,000 is
not a great deal of money to the state It 8 a shame to even misappro-
pirate that amount and have it spent in q a precarious a manner as
it has been handled by the immigration Commissioners When any
more money is spent we would like to see the results TO the state and
not to a private colonization scheme. This valley never received a
single dollar nor collection of dollars from the work done or supposed
to have been done through the Immigration office the past two years

Harrison Swept by Sl25,o0O Fire

Harrison, July B. Battling against terrific odds, the most disastrous fire in the history of Harrison, several fremen were today prostrated by the heat, and Alex Reed, a fireman, was badly burned when a portion of the business district was laid waste by the flames. The loss is estimated at 25,O00, with in- surance about S50,0O0.
 E The fire originated in a row of two-story frame buildings on West Stephenson avenue, within one block of the public square. These buildings were owned by by Dr. M. A. Hathcock, L. H. Schweitzer and c. D. Allison.
 The fire was beyond control before discovered and spread rapidly. Within a few minutes the flames jumped to the Pres byterian church, on the south- west, and the stone and concrete block on the opposite side, own ed by George O'Neal and occu- pied by Ozark Wholesale Gro cery Company, and the Harrison Wholesale Flour and Feed Com- pany both being destroyed. None of the contents were saved.
 From here the fire threatened business buildings on the west side of the treet, but bucket bri- gades of citizens and the fremen prevented the flames from get ting a start. One line of hose was put out of commission when it was found that the leg of a chair had been lodged in the noz- gle, and the firemen were forced to take the nozzle to black smith shop to have the chair leg taken out.
 George O'Neal, who owned the concrete block occupied by the wholesale grocery company, also lost many valuable records which he says he cannot replace.
