Johnson Boom
Rich Strike
On Keystone

a visit to .IOhnSOn, the iastest
growing mining camp in Southern
Arizona, this week by our mining
reporter, secured more news than
space wi | allow us 20 ment on in
detail, SO will describe only one OF
the successful properties there's
AT the Keystone Copper Mining
Company's property W. w, Miller,
president. and q r. Miller, super
vising director, are both actively
engaged In putting the keystone
in the producing list. They have
shipped three cars in the past fif-
teen days, and are preparing to
ship car daily, Of fine copper ore
averaging 6 TO 8 per cent copper
and about to 3 ounces silver.
This property has now passed
the prospect stage. During the
past four months cars of machin-
cry and building material have been
delivered On the property and they
now have installed and in opera
tion as complete plant as will be
found at older mines.
A 5o-horsepower Slower direct
connected hoist, Ingersoll- Rand
compressor and drills, a Charter go
horsepower engine for blowers and
maculne shop power installed In
32x3o engine room, with the latest
power driven sh ,p tools.
The 4o-foot standard hoist frame
is III keeping with the balance of
the exceptionally well~built plant,
equipped with guides for instal,a-
tion Of cages.
The vertical shaft is $40 feet, all
newly timbered, and stations cut
out, preparatory to increasing
the present force of about twenty
five miners to seventy five or eighty.
The next station will be cut at
400 feet, opening up some proven
STOPPING ground.
Shipments are also being made
from very rich surface workings,
and it is literally true that lit pays
from the grass roots" even though
little grass may grow there. The
formation is lime, and some heavy
iron dikes have all made good ore
with depth.
Since the uprise of copper to it's
present price of 2S cents aAd ber-
ter, as we'll as the splendid devel-
opment made on the Keystone,
their stock has been indefinitely
Withdrawn from sale, and with the
outlook no more need be sold.
Too much praise cannot be given
President Miller for his unfailing
confidence through the years Of
adversely in the mining field, and
he low wears the smile that does
not lessen.
A townsite has been surveyed
and will provide fine building sites
for future assured growth
If some of the many Kansas
stockholders could see what is be-
ing done at the keystone they
would agree that ''it's good as
Kansas wheat. "

New Polling Places

After 25o.mile trip, the county
supervisors have decided to create
six new polling plrces.
McAli>ter, with 80 votes, stu
ated rs miles north of Wilcox and
previously attached to that pre-
ctnct.
Pomerene, situated in the district
on The east side of The San Pedro
river, a few miles from Bensol, 90
votes.
Lowell has been divided into
three polling places, the last elec.
tion having proved that one voting
place in so large district rendered
it too cumbersome.
The third ward in Bisbee also
was divided into two precincts, it
having proved unwieldy in the
past.
With the new precincts there are
approximately 4S voting places in
Cochise county.

Line Up With the Boosters

Rumor says there are still some
who have failed to align themselves
with the boosting element OF our
population, and with the canning
factory already under way, would
much prefer to give three whoops
| and perhaps an additional three
hurrahs for Creamery, and let
the cannery go-well, anywhere it
wants to. Should there be such
indulgers in that delightful and
very easily acquired art commonly
known as knocking" they might
profit a little by circumstance
transpiring here this week A
gentleman came to Benson with a
view of looking up location for q
dairy. He hesitated before COM
ing here between Benson and the
ella Valley. Asked why be final
" decided on Benson, he gave as
his reason-the Cannery. He rea-
soned that Benson in going ahead
and establishing canning factory,
must be . live, up to-date town,
and q good place in which to locate
in other lines of business.
Moral-If ysu cannot secure just
what you want instantly, lend yeur
aid and influence to the next best
proposition at hand.

 TALK TO BY JUDGE

Paul Vincent this afternoon en- tered a plea of guilty to the charge of selling liquor without a license at Tenakee and the passing of sem tence was suspended until the last day of the present term of court In the meantime Vincent was al- lowed to so.
 Judge Jennings stated in court that he had known Mr. Vincent for some time and had at one time been attorney for him and that he knew personally that Vincent was a man. but that he had strayed from the right track 'I am going Co see whether the manhood that was in you when l knew you, is dead or whether it can be revived can't shut my eyes to the fact that Tenakee has bad name for boot logging. or to the fact that you have been builty of selling liquor Co a place where there is no mar shal and where the people have no protection. nor can shut my eyes to the fact that you have been yir Iualy guilty of selling whiskey to Indians.

Community Club for
Road Improvements

The Arvada Community Club
held a very interesting meeting
on Tuesday evening which was
we'll attended and which resulted
in securing eight new applicants
for membership to the club.
The new members are as fol-
lows: J. F. Wick, j. J. Dreier,
Dr.. Richard Russell, R. O..
Graves, l.. |. Greenspoon, j.
f. Church, II. Garfien, j. f.
Lercher.
The principle matter before
the meeting was securing recog-
milton for Wadsworth Avenue as
a state highway, and numerous
prominent citizens both north
and south along this road who
are vitality interested were pres
ent.
After a general discussion as
to the importance Of this road as
a main thorofare north and
south between Denver and
Boulder, a committee was ap-
pointed to take the preliminary
steps toward bringing the matter
properly before the State High
way Commissioners.
The committee appointed is
J. Frank Church, Jno, Grattan,
G. V. Shoop, Geo. Olinger, w.
w. Wilmore, Wesley Staley and
7. c. Hurst.
County Commissioner James
Truelsen was present at the
meeting and will work in con-
junction with the committee.
Another matter in which Mr..
Truelsen will cooperate will be
in putting the road between the
Clear Creek bridge on Graves
Avenue and Berkeley Park in
good condition.
T. c. Hurst started a petition
about town and found that he
could raise about $200i if neces-
sary from the business men for
this purpose, and so reported to
the clue. Mr.. Truelsen stated
all roadbuilding by the county
had been suspended on account
Of lack of funds, but that he
would do all he could to assist in
this work.
AT the suggestion of DR..
Richard Russell, it was decided
to have pointers showing the
direction and distance to Arva-
da at cross roads. This is a
splendid means of attracting
tourists this way.

Town Board May
Buy Right-of-Way

The Arvada Town Board met
in regular session Monday even,
ing with Mayor A. l.. DAVIS If
the chair and all members pres,
ent except Trustee Simms, who
is away at his old home in Ne,
braska.
The routine business of the
past month was transacted and
the current bills allowed.
The matter of cutting the
weeds in the streets was taken
up and it seems that there is a
scarcity of teams within the city
to do this work. Harvey Nc
Enterfer offered to do the work
at $1.00 per hour, but some
seemed to think this was a little
high. The town marshal was
instructed to enforce the weed
ordinance and to notify the
Ditch Companies to NOW thei,
weeds on the ditch banks, and
also the owners Of vacant prop
erty to cut their weeds.
There is nothing that speaks
louder for a town than well kept
streets and vacant property.
A committee from the Com
munity Club headed by its Pres
ident, Josiah Maloney, appeared
before the board and petitioned
it to purchase the land necessary
to the project of bringing the
tramway cars up to Valley Ave
nue., as proposed by a joint a
greement of the Community
Club and the Tramway Company.
The price of the land Necessary
is approximately, $500. How
ever, the committee thought
that part Of this money could
be raised from other sources.
Attorney Campbell thought
there might be a way devised to
do this legally and was request
ed to take the matter up and re-
port at an adjourned meeting to
be held tonight. "
This improvement was thought
to be of general benefit to the
citizens and property owners of
the town and therefore it is be-
lieved by many of the most
prominent property owners that
the Town Board should buy this
strip of ground so that the bur-
den would fall equally upon the
taxpayers instead of just a few
as it would do by popular sub
scription. After all, it would
not be very burdensome and it
would be a great benefit to our
town as it would bring the sight
seeing cars up town as well as
the regular cars.
The stairway would still be
left in tact, so that those living
east of the tramway could take
the same old route if preferable
to walking a block further.
1t is also believed that this is
but the first step towards getting
the cars to come thru the bust
ness part of town.
So far we have not heard a
dissenting voice as to the prop
osition to have the town buy the
ground.
