MINING BOOM NEXT

NEW YORK. April 2.-Shrewd watchers of markets predict that when the present oil stocks specula- tion has run its course there will come a mining boom the like of which the country has never seen before It Is believed that the oil share hyste- ria has reached it's apex and is on the decline. Railroad stocks are no long CT attractive speculatively. The down fall of many fthe so-called good will" companies gave check to in' terest in industrials. and 1t appears that mining stocks are about the only class of issues that have not received several severe body blows in the last three or four years.
 Curb traders report that there Is an interest and activity in outside mining stocks such as has not been in evi' dence in the last four years. The 1907 panic put a check to the wild gamble in mining stocks that preceded that crash, but the speculative public is regaining its courage and is now nib bling strongly.
 Another mining boom would doubt less be accompanied by the usual out pouring of worthless securities. but the public is educated by observation and bitter experience.

TUCSON PRIEST IS
 PROUD POSSESSOR
 OF A REAL MURILLO

TUCSON. April 4.-"Sell itl No," exclaimed Rev. Paul Figueroa, a Cath. ollie priest who lives at 452 South Stone avenue gazing fondly at time-dimmed and torn canvas depict ing St. Anthony and the child Jesus. "It is a Murillo." he said tenderly.
 "l shall keep 1t as long as I live" he added, turning to reporter who had called to learn how a Murillo. a work of the famous Spanish painter of the 17th century. of great value by virtue of the name alone. had drifted to Tucson.
 Murillo left about 400 pictures. That seems like a good many. but none of them have gone begging. They have been eagerly seized by galliers of fine arts. when the old churches for which they were painted could be per. suaded to let them go His famous :"Immaculate Conception" was taken 10 France by Marcehal Soult. and sold to the nation for 615.0OO francs. The canvas in the possession of Father Figueroa is small one, but the faces are of the Spanish types of which Murillo confined himself, the coloring is deep and rich and it shows remarkable strength of design. The faces are life-like and the composition and perspective faultless.
 The painting was covered with mud and dust when Father Figueroa ] first found it seven years ago in the home of a relative, Marianna Ortiz, at OGuitos. Altar.
 Father Figueroa was born and raised in the San Gabriel. Los Ange. les county. California. He had often heard Sonora Francis Castillo. his fathers cousin. speak of the Murillo which her grandfather had told her his uncle had brought from Spain in the latter part of the eighteenth cen. tury about 17S1. Father Figueroa took occasion seven years ago to go to Oduito and hunt for the heirloom. There were many paintings in the home of his relatives. none of them much prized or cared for. It was only after a diligent search through gar rets that the priest came across 1t.
 Marianna Ortiz would not consent at that time to let him take it away. When she visited him this winter, however, she told him that she had decided that he ought to have it. he loved it so much. When she returned home she sent 1t to him.
 "Mv ereat-erandfather came to Mex ico from Spain as a bOy," said Ether Figueroa Monday. "His name was Tgnacio Figueroa. His uncle was a friar. When my great-grandfather became a man he was made an off cial. just what sort I cannot at this moment say. under, think 1t was Ferdinan VII"
 . Before going to Mexico he was al Yuma, and while on the Arizona side of the river. saw the massacre of set . tiers on the California side by the Yuma Indians. He was taken captive . by the Yumas. and lived with them
 for three years, This, think. waj ir 1775. Then the soldiers found and re , leased him"

Back of the announcement that the Ashland iron mine in upper Michigan. owned by Congressman E. A. Hayes of California and his brother, J. o. Hayes, is to be the heaviest iron ore shipper in the Gogebic range this year, is strange story of the winning of a fortune from the earth through the clair voyant phophecy of their mother. It was through her influence. due to a vision, that the brothers continued work in the property, after it had been abandoned as worthless.
