BIG ELECTRICAL
 POWER PLANT COMPLETED
(From Sundays Daily.)

Completion of its second electrical plant by the Arizona Power Con- pa1y. on Fossil creek, was announced yesterday by President F.. s. Vieic and Chief Engineer R. s. Mason. The current will be sent over the line Monday forenoon. both plants having a capacity of generating maximum of 10000 horse power.
 Deep snow for over 70 days ma rooned the construction camp. sus- pending open work; the Verde river rose to its hign water mark for an other month, and traffic in and out of the Fossil creek region came to d standstill until a few weeks ago. Heavy machinery was delayed in de livery accordingly. NIT. Mason said yesterday:
 The capacity of the combined plants has more than been taken, and we are now facing a power situation that was entirely unexpected few months ago, by new contracts being offered, which we are unable to ac- ccpt Yesterday three applications were made for 500 horse power from three new mining companies which are entering this field. and are to op- crate on permanent lines. No action will be taken on any of the applica- tons until the new plant starts in mo ton and until it is determined how much power will be available after present consumers are served and wl1h other mines to start up in short time, their power demands also are to be placed on the future list The mining in the territory covered by our lines, embracing the Humboldt. Je- rome, Verde range, Big Bug district, Walker country. and outlying camps. does not indicate. but proves beyond any question whatever, that this in dustry is rapidly assuming its great est stride onward but is yet in its infancy. What power to drive mine machinery of the Bralshaws. Copper Basin. the Jerome field. the llassay- ampa country, and other localities II the mining wave continues for only q few months more is hard to estimate.

FORTUNES BEING
 MADE FROM MINES
(From Sundays Oaily)

AA.lO4l 1l44kstN . 4tAAll
 Only those who read the reports printed by the newspapers i1 or near new mining districts, or in those which have been re-awakened to ac- tivity. have any sort of an idea of the developments that are going on now We have in mind especially the Oat- man district and the country about Jerome; but what is true of them IS true in a lesser degree of many oth- CT parts of the State. It is natural to discount local reports of mining activity. but we think that the most startling features of activity in stocks of properties of already recognized values have not yet been printed. If money possesses conversational powers, as some assert, something mas certainly been doing lately.
 It has been brought out that there is more money in the country seek ing investment than was supposed. One bank at Jerome lately received a pile of checks foot high from the East in payment of stock in a mine that had suddenly come into coun- try-widc notice. The largest of these checks was for $36OOO. Most of them had to be returned to the senders for the stock placed on sale had been largely oversubscribed.
 It is said that one group oi Phoenix men has lately cleaned up more than s250OOO and that a Douglas and Bis bee group has realized profit of more than $6,OOO,OO0 from operations in new northern mines in this State. Many well known individuals have taken profits from $l00,OO0 upward. California has developed new class of millionaires and r-millio1aires from operations in the Oatman dis trict.
 We should say the investors have not gone into this thing blindly. They know from influential and reliable friends something of the properties CT prospects in which they invested There are still many holes in the ground in Arizona as in every other mining country, where one may throw his money ard never sec il again.
 We have been speaking only of the new properties that have been opened but word should be said of the great developments going o1 in the south. of which all have heard somewhat, in the almost limitless region of Ajo, and of the operations in the old prop critics of the Copper Queen and the Calumet & Arizona. These two com panies last month turned out copper bullion Of the value of more than S50C0GGO.
 For several years Arizona has led in copper production and there is TO doubt that the lead this year will be greatly increased; that there will be such a development oi new copper properties as was never before wit messed since men began taking the red metal out of the ground.- Phoe- nix Republican.
