Special Correspondence.
 SALOME, Ariz., June l9.-Invcst-
 ors and prospectors are pouring into
 the Harcuvar and Harqua Hala noun
 tains, adjacent 10 Salome and Wen
 den. The boom which this section
 has awaited so long seems fairly un-
 der way. Mining men of the East.
 Nevada and California are writing to
 inquire about this country or are
 coming in to see for themselves. Few
 come without at least opening nego-
 tiations for some of the promising
 prospects so plentiful in the nome
 of high-grade"
 Among the recent visitors was T..
 \. (Bob) Montgomery, of Skidoo and
 Montgomery-Shoshone fame. He
 came in with Didrick Rogers Of Los
 Angeles who has the Minnezona prop
 erty. near the Harqua Hala. and left with options on several groups. A
 satisfactory termination of his nego- tiations will mean a great increase in activity around Harqua Hala. MT. Montgomery started in the mining game as practical prospector and
 has become one of the most success ful operators Of North America. He has been associated with such men as Charles NJ. Schwab and F. L. Do heney. At present he is largely inter- ested in Mexican oil ventures
 This country is receiving attention particularly from people who are look ing for properties where pay orc comes to the surface and fortunes do not have to be spent in searching for values at depth. Few districts can show such high-grade values at or near the surface. The regular series of lcjges and dikes which seam the Harcuvars from the Glory Hole to Cunningham pass. l2 miles east. are source of constant surprise to the newcomers.
 The region around Tank pass and Cottonwood. in the Harcuvars north Of Salome, has been neglected large ly because of its inaccessibility. Now however, the Cobrita Mining Com pany is spending several thousand dollars to buid an excellent wagon road through Tank pass. This road will be carried along hog-back to some eight miles away. Itl will afford easy access not only to the Cobrita but to q number of other which lie through Tank pass. New claims arc being located there and work is being started on number of old ones. When the road is finished, which will be in about two weeks. the Cobrita will become regular shipper.
 One carload of orc shipped from the minc owned by Sidney P. Osborn and James. Burson. in Cunningham i pass. north oi Wenden. to the Sel5y l. smclter at San Francisco. nctted more than S3.700. The ore averaged 9.77 per cent copper and $l7 30 a ton in gold.
 Globe parties have become interest ed with Osborn and Burson and will be formed this week ! 10 develop the property A hoist, compressor and purlp will be install led and the main shaft. now down 54 . feet, sunk to depth. The ore is over Two feet wide in :cn-foot drift west from the bottom of the shaft. so it is 'Npcctel thgt regular shipments cau be made. A carload oi ore :s shortly to br ,ipped from the Vindica,or mine. q sport distance east or the Osborn and Carson claims Arrangements ilai ,cen made to ship [; fo Humboldt but ac sampling mill burned down there 'o tne orc will probably be marketed n the southern part of the State.
 The Black Reef Copper Company. which owns d group of promising ,laims south of Cunningham pass, ad- oining inc Desert property. has pur- ,hased a l2-horsepower hoist which will soCn Dc on the ground. This equipment Is 10 be used in sinking inc main shaft, Nhicn is now down 20 feet in ore that runs s 10 S42 in yold and 80 10 B per cent copper. '
