WICKENBURG MINES
 FORGING RAPIDLY TO
 FRONT IN THE STATE
Several Properties Out From Old Time Mine Center Are Receiving Attention From Capital and Operators.

|, WICKENBURG. Ariz., May 20. -- Wickenburg is by TO means left out of this mining prosperity and Opti- mism that pervades Arizona. The mining districts tributary to this flour ishing camp are getting their share of the foreign capital that is pouring into the Copper State. Large and i'm portant deals are closed every week and every deal means another active property. A dozen properties are ship ping from Wickenburg and dozens of others would be producing if there was a custom shelter here. Such a smelter has long been the dream of Wickenburg and il is stated on good authority that the dream may soon come true.
 One of the recent big deals was the purchase of John R Dobler's Swallow mine, 16 miles northeast of Wicken- burg in the Castle Creek district The purchaser was ]. P. Hutchinson. of Fl Paso. who was formerly with the San Toy Mining company. Hutchinson is backed by powerful financial inter ests.
 The Swallow is something more than a prospect No less than $500. 900. mostly in gold. was taken from the Swallow shaft alone. Their ore also carries copper.
 A 10-stamp mill. in good condition. is on the Swallow group and may be operated soon. Machinery for devel- opment is now being delivered
 Boston parties have purchased from U. Zeisiger. of, Cincinnati the Eureka group. adjoining Ezra w. Thayer's Monte Cristo mine on the south. They expect to spend about s200.000 in de veloping the Eureka.
 The ore carries copper and lead, with some silver.
 More than twenty men are steadily employed at the Monte Cristo. MT. Thayer is not given to talking for pub lication about his property but it k no secret that he has one of the big gest silver mines in the world. Now that silver is up to 75 cents an ounce and seems headed toward sl, it would not be surprising if be shipped some of his highest grade ore or even erect cd a mill At any rate. he is install ing pumping machinery to facilitate

Part of ihe ore went to Los Angeles and the rest eastward. Regular shipments are 10 be made henceforth. Some 1b rlai'rs are included in the group.
 Ten tons of high grade lead ore were shipped from the Barton lead property few days ago. Shipments are made frequently by the Rich Hill

 The land of the company is secured under yer yfavorable lease. IL is in one of the most productive of the new fields of the great oil bearing 10 the field is Keystone. The proper ty was secured from a man who was spending time in this section of the country for his health.
 According to several of the incor- porators work will be launched al once on the property.

SMELTERS VERY 0VERCROWDEO
 IN NORTH
Leasers and Newly Found Producers in Yavapai Coun- ty County Encounter Great Difficulty in Treating Ores.

PRESCOTT, May 2O.-All branches of Yavapai county's mining industry reflect the appreciabiy enhanced prices of the metals of commerce brought about by the European war; branches of the county's mining in dustry have entered upon period of prosperity and production that has stimulated business as a whole and attracted to this section men of means who are seeking mining invest ments.
 Yavapai county's rich and extensive deposits of gold. silver. tungsten. cop per. lead and zinc are ror the first time to any extent commanding the attention of the investing public in general. For that matter they are for the first time receiving the recogni- tion which has always been their due. Having obtained that recognition. however, money for development pur- poses is forthcoming in increasing amounts and ore production is in creasing in tonnage.
 Shelters Overcrowded
 Every smelter and mill in Yavapai county is overcIowded with ore and could double it's present reduction capacity without danger of lack of supply. Also. there are more smelters and mills in operation here at present than ever before; more new work in the aggregate being done than ever before; more prospecting being done than ever before: more ore and gen eral freight being handled than ever before: more passenger traffic than ever before. and more prosperity in general than ever before.
 There is not a vacant house in Pres cott or Jerome. In fact. the demand for houses by prospective renters is far inexcess of the supply. The same conditions prevail .to lesses degree in the smaller communities of the county. The merchants of Prescott and Jerome state that business has increased approximately 50 per cent since the first of the current year. The local hotels and those Of Jerome are crowded with guests At Jerome the has become so acute the hotel proprietors are placing cots in the corridors of their hostelries to sunDlv patrons with sleeping accomo- dations. Local garage pioprietors re- port more travel by auto to the vari- ous camps of the county than ever before.

WOMEN KHAKI BECOME FACTOR IN PREPAREDNESS CAMPAIGN

. With the opening of the Nation Service School for Women nea' Washington, D. C., the woman 4! khaki has become factor in the preparedness campaign. Some soc of her from all over the country are spending two weeks learning how to be most useful in the hour of na- uonal need. After these another 800, and so on until through similar encampments run by pupils from this one, the womanhood of America has been mobilized. It is the Plattsburg idea applied to women, under the direction of the woman's section of the Navy league.

To-day virtually all the railroads in

this merely means. so the railroad nan

men can charge overtime. IL Is held
that even a ten hour day Is an impos-

public. Mr.. jain did not show the pic
ture and a large crowd composed chiefly
of high school students. many OF whom
are members OF the classes in designing.
