MINING HISTORY IS REPEATING
 
 ITSELF
FAMOUS OLD CROOK MINE EARLY DAY GOLD PRO- DUCER IS AGAIN ACTIVE LY OPERATING.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Eastern mining men have taken over the famous old Crook mine, and are now actively operating it in a preliminary manner by cleaning out the old workings, laying track and getting ready for large exploration, with John Harlan in charge as super intendent.
 This movement is naturally attract ing interest, for the reason that the Crook was one of the first gold mines to be successfully worked in the Senator field, and its production in free milling ores gave it a rating from which boom prevailed in that section for several years. The sul- phides coming in ncccssitated sus- pension and in later years leasing followed, with good results in many instances.
 When originally operated, pack trains conveyed several shipments of the high grade ore to as far away as Kirkland valley, where an arastra was running. Every other reduction device near and afar was also sup piled, and in some instances ship ments were made by freight teams to Ehrenberg, on the Colorado river for water transportation to San Fran cisco. This mine was named in hon or of General George Crook, deccas- ed. who was given nominal interest therein Crook Canyon also derived its name from this source, in which this famous old-time mine is situated. The last active work given the Crook was over a quarter of century ago.

 BIG TONNAGE EXPOSED

Decidedly encouraging reports oI the pcrmancncy of the Commercial mines of Copper Basin reach the city founded on new development expos ing immense bodies of copper ore that are said to range to s per cent. It is estimated that on the basis of pro duction daily of 50 tons, the tonnage in sight will last for the next year, without taking into consideration what future development will deter mine.
 The new zone opened recently is said to have been the most satisfac- tory in the history of this property, and shipping from Skull valley of 50 tons per day is now going ahead to the Copper Queen smelter at Doug las. Another sixmule team was placed on the road yesterday by Geo. (. Ruffner, to handle the maximum tonnage called for under his hauling contract The strike made is in a drift south from Garbarino Hill. and Is new development Major Pickrell, in charge, confirms the strike made as of noteworthy import, and as the most important in the history of the property MT Ruffner also stated yesterday he has employed at the present time 6 head of mules hauling ores from different camps in this county.

SPAIN IN A BAD
 FINANCIAL. CONDITION

MADRID, July 21-Spanish treasury
 statements for the first six months of
 1915 show very clearly some Of the
 financial difficulties of the country at the time of the failure of the $15O,- 000,00 loan, and the consequent cab inet crisis of June 2. While the books of the treasury show an in crease of receipts over any previous year they also show an increase Of expenditures which, when taken to- gether with the interest that must be paid on Spain's $1,S14270,000 debt, regularly produced deficit To meet this was one of the principal reasons for trying to float the recent unfor- tunatc loan.
 The total receipts for the last half year of 1915 were $134,816,602 as against total for the same period Of last year of S177.S56464, exhibiting nominal gain of $26,960,138 in the national revenues over last year. But in this same period this year there have been $36. of treasury ob- legations to meet, in addition to ordin ary, normal expenses. with the result that, on the whole the Spanish treas urv IS actually, behind S9,564,Sl2 m comparison with the first half year of 1914.
 Had it been possible for the Dato Ministry to float its S150.0OO00O loan it could at least have deferred the day of reckoning until less perilous times. Public opinion in Spain seems to agree that the abstention of wealthier investors from subscription to the loan was partially caution, due to war conditions. and partially poli- tics, due to the fear that the Dato | Ministry was dangerously close to the Quadruple Entente Powers and might l at any time try to drag Spain into war The unequivocal renewal of the Kings confidence in the ability of Eduardo Dato to extricate the coun- trv, somehow. from its financial em- is expected to silence | these critics of the government and to insure the success Of the loan when again offered.

SLOWLY. CLOSING HIGHWAY GAP
 IN NORTH
STATE FUNDS TO BE APP FLIED THIS FALL TO BUILD ANOTHER LINK IN THIS COUNTY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

State Division Engineer F. R. Goodman was brief visitor to Pres colt on Sunday, coming from the north, and stated this fall will see a resumption of wagon road building in this county by the State, in which the Dewey Cherry Creek division had been selected
 This section will be closed up on the north and south project, connect ing with Cherry creek hill into the Verde valley, making continuous route open in hrst-class construction from Prescott to Camp Verde, and with a strip of 20 miles south from this city and seven miles along Beav- CT creek as finished Mir Goodman is a strong advocate of building over the Mogollons. which region he states is without a rival in the nation to at. tract and interest tourists. He has returned north for field work in Navajo and Apache counties, and states the latter is now applying its second road bond issue, with En- gineer Barlowe, of the State corps, in charge of construction. Mir. Good' man says the north is alive to the necessity of spending money to make money in bringing in tourists for or any other purpose.

Beautiful Country;
 Deplorable Roads
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.)


 Fen s. Hildrcth, who had been at tending the meeting at Flagstaff of the state tax commission, returned in auto Saturday night over the old wagon road via the Mogollon noun tains, and gives his version of that route as follows: That country has no equal in the State from a scenic standpoint, but the old highway is difficult to negotiate and 1 would ad- wise tourists to travel via the Santa Fe railroad to and from the north. This route should by all means be opened at the earliest date possible It is the natural gateway into the wonderland of Central and Northern Arizona, and good roads will bring in the tourists by the thousands. That stretch out of Beaver creek built under a former administration, remains as a boulevard today for over seven miles. and clearly demonstrates what practical effort will accomplish in this line of public improvement. Arizona has an asset in this particular road adjunct which will rebound to its credit and prove surprisingly re- munerative when constructed. Ii should be built at once"

yAyAPAI EXCELS ALL ARIZONA
 COUNTIES
EASTERN VIS- ITORS PAY PRESCOTT AND VICINITY MANY COMPLIMENTS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Tt is a pleasure to meet the class of people Yavapai county has, and we prefer it to any section of Ari- zona," was the compliment paid this community Saturday last by William M. Eisen, and son, Charles l. Hough- ton, of New York City.
 Mr. Eisen, who is prominently known in the above city as a mer- chant, and is the president of the William M. Eisen Company, exten- sive dealers in surgical instruments and appliances, has been sojourning in this city for several days. MT. Houghton has visited every nook and corner of the State, and comes back to Prescott with a warm feeling of admiration for the little city so pret- tily nestled among the pines with the ''best people on this earth to make that claim good" as he ex- presses himself.
 MT. Eisen, who has been observing commercial conditions in Prescott, says: The stores lead any other city in the state, and 1t IS revela- ton when one makes an inspection of the goods and wares to see the care given and interest taken to meet the demands of trade. The buildings are a surprise and for character of archi- lecture and good sense shown for ar engagement are worthy of city five times the size of Prescott Can you find a parallel to that of the business block of the Bashford Burmister Company, anywhere in the West in a city of $25,OOO? I very much doubt it.p
 Both visitors stated there is no oc- casion to dwell on the climate. That matter is travelling far and wide, but there should be some extensive and persistent effort shown to make the country inviting along scenic, indus trlal and health-glvlnS lines. "A broad field lies beyond, and will di- rected effort will be rewarded" they state.
 These visitors are preparing to re turn East, and before doing so will spend day at Castle Hot Springs. Concluding his remarks Mir Eisen said: q will most assuredly boost Prescott in New York. and 1 will not have to exaggerate in saying that it is the finest little city in the West. and above everything else has the best class of people one would care to meet. Get up a Rotary Club and see what good results will come in the near future"

MOHAVE SWINGS ANOTHER B|G
 BOND ISSUE
SECOND $10O,O0O FOR ROAD BUILDING CARRIES; CO., COMING WANTS $35O,O0O FOR SAME PURPOSE.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)

The tremendous tide of travel pre- vailing at the present time over the Old Trails highway, is having the ef- feet of warming up Northern Arizona counties to such an extent that good roads at any cost" is their slogan.
 Mohave county last week strongly expressed its approval again of this public movement by voting four to one in favor of another issue of $100,- 0O0 with which to improve its high ways along the route most frequent ed by Eastern tourists. This makes total of $2OO,OO0 the smallest tax paying county in Arizona will be burdened with to meet the demands of trade and travel that have proven so remunerative in recent months in bringing thousands, where only few were attracted heretofore.
 Coconino also is alive to the con dition that has arisen by this years number of tourists and will ask the voters to authorize the issuance of bonds in the sum of $350000 to be applied specifically to road building. It IS quite agreeable to learn that large part of this issue will be ap- piled to building over the Mogollon mountains south from Flagstaff, which will add another desirable link to the north and south highway through Arizona Some idea of the number of autos that have and are passing through the state along the Old Trails may be gained when it is stated that they have averaged since March to August 1, 30 per day, and in each car are from three to five people The northern counties, in short have received pecuniary bene- fits from this army of tourists which run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, by having the roads to travel over
