THIS MINING DEAL
 OF LOCAL INTEREST

very important mining deal of particular interest to Phoenix, was consummated recently through the Notation of the stock of the United Mines Company Of Arizona. United Mines stock was recently listed on the New York curb and also on the san Francisco stock exchange. and has proven one of the most attractive copper features in a year. marked by unprecedented successes in the pro- motion of Arizona copper industries.
 The property of the United Mines Company is located near Bouse. Ari- zona about five hours ride from Phoenix It comprises the Little Buttes formerly owned in Phoenix. and several other properties consoli- dated into one large group comprising 600 acres.
 Considerable surface work has been done in years past at many points in the Bouse district. but no depth was ever attained up tO this time. The property now owned ty the United Mines Company has been thoroughly examined by number of the leading mining engineers of the country, in cuding John Wellington Finch and Dr. Walter Harvey Weed. of New York and $. T. Godbe of Los An geles. The result of very exhaustive examinations convinces these well known engineers that if development was pushed below the permanent water level. presumed to be about 600 feet. in all probability large bodies Of good grade copper ore would be en- countered. The surface workings which have reached d depth of goo feet. have disclosed large and con sistent bodies of gold ore. containing lenses of high grade copper
 The United Mines Company is now installing a splendid equipment. in- cluding cOmpressors, pump and large hoist The main shaft will be immediately sunk to the 700-foot level and meanwhile. shipments will be made very shortly from the large ore bodies now disclosed on the upper levels. Chun drilling will also be started at a Aumber of points which have very promising surface prospects.
 A successful issue of the important development plans of this company will undoubtedly result in boom in the old Rouse district and create d new era of prosperity in the near vicinity Of Phoenix.
 The financing cf the United Mines Company has been m the hands of ,i number of the most prominent bankers in New York and San Francisco. and where a very large volume of daily trading both on the New York curh' and the san Francisco exchange as well as the constant advance In the prices of the shares. is an indication or the success which has attended the Notation.

another on the grounc and being set up. and a third ordered. paid for and shipped. Churn drilling Is the method which blocked out SO,OO0 900 tons of ore for Ray Consolidated and 100000 900 or more tons for Ray Hercules. Ray Consolidated has it's huge milling plant and is at above s33 share. Ray Hercules IS now 'expending more than sl.O0000O for a milling plant and is selling at s5.S0 per share Geological and nnineralosicsl conditions appear to be similar in all three of these properties, the ore being found in ex- tenslve "banket" formations. lt does not appear, therefore, that when ore has been proved on three sides of the Arizona Ray ground it will wall to un- derlie this property.
 ARIZONA RAY therefore appears to have great possibilities.
 When the first drill hole penetrates ore. thus proving that the theories of the engineers who have reported upon this property are correct, the stock of this company should show a spectacular price advance.
 Such proving up of ore should show that Arizona Ray has a possible value equal to that of Ray Hercules, at least. Pending such news from Ray, this SC cur'ty IS now ceiling at 27lac per share. Why delay purchasing it until the drills hit ore-which they seem sure to do- and then be forced to pay high prices for your stock?
 Suppose the stock should jump to soc per share when the drills strike orel Where would you be7
 Obey that impulse. Send US your order today at 27Lac.

MORE RHEUMATISM
THAN EVER BEFORE
Clergymen, Lawyers Brokers, Me.
chanics and Merchants Stricken.

Our old friend Rheumatic is hav-
ing his inning this year, and few
words of caution from one who knows
all about it may not be amiss.
Wear rubbers in damp weather;
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of
lemonade, and avoid strong alcoholic
drinks.
If rheumatism gets you, or scia-
tica, and you have sharp twinges
gnawing pain or swollen joints OF
muscles, you can get rid of all agony
in just few days by taking one-hal1
teaspoonful of Rheuma once day.
All druggists know about Rheuma
it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap
yet sure, and 50-cent bottle will last
long time. Ask Read & Wager OF
any druggist.
