The Congress Dump.

Parties have been looking over the Congress mine the last week, and others have been inspecting the tail ings dump in anticipation of purchas ing or re working them on royalty. These large dumps afford quite picture. The lower part of them which proJect in serrated benches are colored light red or purplish. The coloring probably resulted from the washing, the tailings used to receive in earlier days. Later the ores were milled, concentrated and cyanided direct. On the top of the colored tail ings is huge pile of absolutely white taillngs, and at distance gives the appearance of being a snowdrift, the uprig ghts of the discarded tre:,ies stick Ing up through them like punches of trees. These white tailings are the result of the ore milled from the Ma gara veln which was pure white quartz. A conservative estimate of this tailing pile would be 6O0,0O0 tons. All the surface plant on the mine is still intact and almost seems ready to start up again on the blowing of the whistle, and every one hopes that this will be an actual occurrence in the near future.
 Although the old town is exceeding ly quiet to what it used to be in its palmy days. It still has some life and sustains a school, post office ard a couple of stores. Congress- was a very busy and industrious center in its operating days. Everything in the district centered in Congress. All the prospectors and any one requiring goods would go to the company's store to purchase. They could get as good price there as anywhere else if not better, and the goods were always fresh as the company used to buy in large quantities.
 The Congress mine had a long and active life. It was really in operation twenty-four years, but in two of these | there was little done. So for twenty two years it produced large quantities of bullion and upheld a large popula- tion. And it is yet possible that the ground may produce another mine. Dennis May, the discoverer of Con- gress, is also silent, as he passed on to the great prospect field about six years ago. Not only the mine, but it's large plant remains to commemorate him But the most effective mark is his old shack, doorless and windowless, and leaning to decay. It won't be long be. fore the elements level It to the earth. It stands there alone, little south west of the town, and it stood there before there was any town, mine or plant. The old timers deserve some more permanent object to signify their passing away. SCme of them may have had failings, but they surely had great courage, h&rdhood and perse- verence, and occasionally suffered great hardships in their calling.-The Arizona Republican,

FIGHT FOR SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP
Strong Contenders Come Through Initial Rounds Without Miahap-But One Foreign Player Left-Entrants Mum Der I48

Newport, R. T.. Aug. 1s.-Playing true to form, the real contenders for t1tular honorS in the 33d annual cham plonship singles tournament of the United States National Lawn Tennis association came through the initial rounds today without upset or delay. Maurice E. Mclaughlin, present holder of the championship. led the California contingent, every member of which scored victories in the first or second ing Clothier. Touchard, Williams, Voshell, Dabney and Wallace John son, were equally successful. The pairings failed to produce any star matches, but there was tennis of both quality and quantity to entertain the gallery which was large for an opening day.
 With 14S entrants to handle, it was the intention of the tennis association officials to get an early start, but a heavy shower delayed the opening matches until almost noon Then so rapid was the succession of matches that when play ended for the day the entire first round and virtually all of the second had been completed. The rain had little effect upon the turf but the gray light and humidity proved trying.
 N. w Miles, Massachusetts cham pion. and T. R. Carpenter, former Pennsylvania title holder, were allot- ted the grandStand court ana Niles proved to be the winner in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. His score over Car penter by points was 2$-14. S7-26, 2S-15.
 Of the thre eforeign players entered, two were eliminated and the third won his way into the second round. Baron H. Von Lersner defeated Louis H. Hobbs in straight sets, but his brotheg, K. Won Lersner, after playing four fast sets against R. c. Wilson, defaulted in the fifth with games to in his favor. F. A. Vaile of Eng land drew Alfred Dabney as opponent in his initial match and lost in straight sets.
 Much of the attention of the gallery was devoted to the play of the mem bers of the Davis cup team and the youthful entrants from the Pacific coast Former Champion W. J.. Clo- thier was also watched with interest in his efforts to come back as a factor in national championship play. He dAfeated Bail Wagner, without being fofced to extraordinary efforts, show ing that he. is at top form and in ex- cellent physical condition.
 H. ". Slocum, singles champion in 1SSS89, entered the tournament with determination to play until he met his master. Lawrence Curtis, 2d. his first opponent, was unable to check the vet eran, who won in straight sets.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES ADVANCE. Profit Taking and Bear Selling Cut
 Down Days Gains.

New York, Aug. 1S.-On a compara- lively small volume of buying stocks advanced in all quarters of the list during the fore part of today's session. The supply of stocks appeared to be scant, and under the lead of the cop- ahead easily. In addition to the stan dard issues, the oil and electric stocks made substantial gains. In spite of the improving tendency traders were not inclined to follow up the market on the advance Profit taking, together into the days gains. bringing back prices in some cases to the opening level. In the final dealings quotations were lifted again. but at the close they fell short of the days high figures.
 Reports of rain in sections where crops have been suffering severely from drought constituted the principal factor in the days rise. Commission house buying was somewhat larger and Europe took stocks more freely following the advance of American shares in London. Some of the chief were heavy sellers late last week from which the inference was drawn that short covering was a considerable influence in sending up prices.
 There was a slightly easier tendency in the money market Bankers report ed increasing business in prime mer- cantile paper both by local and out side institutions. The improved out look for the money market during the crop moving season was an influence in stimulating bullish sentiment In the same category of favorable factors was the report of exports of domestic products for July, showing the total of SAY, TBS, 900, compared with $33,018, 900 in the corresponding month of last year.

WOULD WIN DISTANCE
 SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIP. Buster Eiionsky Will Essay Long New
 York Swim

In an effort to win the title of cham plon long distance swimmer of Amer lea. which he already asserts belongs to him. Henry Elionsky, known as Buster of New London, will try to swim from the Battery to Sandy Hook and back to Swinburn Island, a dis tance of five and one-fourth miles, next Tuesday afternoon. Elionsky hopes to that period he will neither drink, eat, nor "oil up'' while in the water, says the New York Herald.
 Elionsky attempted to swim to the Hook on July q. but was forced to give up the task when within a quarter of mile from his goal. The sea was extremely rough and in the latter stages of his swim he was fairly blind ed and could only swim about in cir cles. On Tuesday, however he will take advantage of both the incoming and outgoing tides, so that he is con- hdent he will accomplish his feat.
 Although Enonsky Is only 19 years old, he weighs 260 pounds and has enormous muscular development. He has performed many swimming stunts since be took to the water as a swim naer thrse years ago. Extreme cold has little ~effect upon him. as was shown last winter when he swan for half an hour at Ocean Beach in a tenn perafufe of degrees above zero. To reach the water he was forced to wade knee deep through snow, and when he entered his dressing room he was bathad in perspiratien, while those who watched him were shiveFing beneath heavy fur eVefeoatS.
 On Aug. IS, 1912, Eliensky says he sWam 15 miles iR nine hours and 30 minutes in the Thames river, and five hours were spent by him in battling with the tide. His most notable feat, however, was swimming four miles and three quarters, frena Gales Ferry to the public landing in New Lendon, with his hands and feet tied He is captain of the life saving crew in New London and has several reseues to his credit.
 Interest attaches ta Elionsky's pro- posed swim to Sandy Hook for the reason that it probably will establish new long distance swimming record. The late Captain Webb tried to swim from the Battery to Sandy Hook sew eral years ago. but he was forced to give up when he was few miles from his goal. Other swimmers have tried and failed. Elionsky says he will do the trick this time. as he purposes to go out with the tide as far as Swim burn Island. where he will remain for five hours until the tide comes out the second time, when he will finish his swim to the Hook.
