BLACK CANON GROUP
 WORTH DEVELOPING

Encouraged by what their consult ing engineer, Major w A. Calhoun. called most appetizing assay returns. the packers of the exploratory work on the Tuxedo and allied groups of copper claims near Bumblebee have concluded to push their investigations. and to that end have let contracts for the sinking of two shafts. the extension by 90 feet of the original tunnel the construction of road, and the plan ming of mill and townstes.
 This was the news brought to Phoe- nix yesterday by the party, including $. F.. Jordan and Ed Grace, prominent local dealers in real estate and mining securities. who accompanied Major Calhoun tO the ground. In addition to other interesting and important deals recently closed, Grace and Jor- dan have just completed sale of the Davis home ranch near Glendale for q figure said to be about s42.00O.
 Major Calhoun. in speaking of the property, said last night: 'I think Nellis tthe on-the- ground superintend- ent) has a beautiful layout for devel- oping a mine. He has secured control of the water rights. mill and town sites in large open flat on Castle Creek which bisects the group of claims. In exploring to prove an ore body he will find his ground ideally laid out with room for everything. As to the work under ground I will only say that they are following some fine leads, and have struck q nice lot of sulphides. I believe the next fifty feet in the main tunnel will show whether or not they are going to break into the main tunnel, indicated in other work ings to be dipping that way.

ACTRESS DISCOVERS PEARLS

certainly they offset her physical
charms to a remarkable degree. She
is quite an authority on her favorite
baubles, and has some interesting
facts concerning them at her finger

them to assist her in charming Mark

would surprise one to note how many
of our social leaders choose them for
most state occasions. The fact that
there are cheap limitations galore does
not detract one iota from the popu

The lot of bachelor in old Sparta
was even worse than in Rome. Al
certain annual games of the Spartan
women all the bachelors of the neigh

subjected to the far from tender
mercies of the maidens. The unhappy
fellows were dragged around the al
