Business matters will be taboo at the next Tuesday night meeting of the Mesa Commercial club The directors have inaugurated an annual event which is to be termed Ladies Night" and while there will be a number of unfortunate single gentlemen, and some other married members whose better halves cannot attend, yet there is the promise of some fifty or sixty ladies to grace the occasion with their presence. The secretary has made the rounds of most of the membership and has one hundred and sixteen enrolled for attendance at the meeting. Any member may invite any guest in addi- tion to the lady. provided the secretary is informed in time for a plate to be reserved. The guests will assemble at the club rooms at eight D. m. and will attend the theater in body. Mir. Men hennet will see that seats are reserved. After the show the party will assemble at the American Kitchen and do full and complete justice to an oyster sup per served in any style desired. The plates will be 35c each.
 The club has found a happy medium between an all social ard all business institution and the result has been live business sessions following a monthly banquet This plan has resulted in a largely increased attendance and the I. cent occasion it is hoped. will still further cement the good fellowship ex- isting between the various members of the organization All members not as vet seen in regard to their attendance should communicate today with the r1ttf

the Castle Garden stope. From the
 400-foot level he ran a drift back un-
 der that stope. He found the ore.
 Moreover. he blocked out consider
 able tonnage. How rich tLat ore is no
 one knows except Martin, a few of his miners, and the new owners of the Harqua Hala.
 When lacking and Mudd had their attention drawn to the Harqua Hala they sent two men to take samples from the faces of the various drifts
 and crosscuts. Those men took their
 samples and went away. in a few days two more men came, ard as much as told Martin that he had salted the mine for the benefit of the first samplers. Martin merely smiled and told them to take their own samples.
 These men dug into the faces. filled | a dozen sacks or so with samples, and went away.
 Next came two more expert amp | lers, and they had six miners with them. They set the miners to digging fal into the faces and walls, where | there was no possible chance for salt | ing. Their samples convinced Mudd | and Jackling tha. they had an oppor | tunity to buy one of the richest gold | mines iE the world and a few days | ago the deal was closed in Los An
 geles.
 | Just what Mudd and Jackling will | do first when they take charge is not | known, but it is presumed that they will erect q big modern stamp mill and flotation plant. the latter for the sulphides Until recently 20 of the 40
 stamps of the old mill were treating 25 tons of ore 9 day. but owing to the lack Of modern methods only 70 per cent Of the values were saved Nevertheless, the production has been ! paying Ill expenses of operation and | development.
 The Harqua Hala was discovered in l 1888 and after a considerable tonnage l of rich ore had been taken out near the surface the property was sold to an English syndicate for s5000 900. It | is said that the English company took : out about S4, 000, 900 all above the 200-
 foot level Believing that the ore was worked out or so badly faulted that 1 it would be a waste of time and
 money to attempt to locate it. the F,nglishmen quit. Some time latei the Harqua Hala was sold at sher-
 ifs sale The Martin brothers bought 1 it in for 5000.
 l Martin had ideas of his own about l the Harqua Hala ore body. He pro- i ceeded to sink the shaft to greater l depth and crosscut to the north
 through what was supposed to be the
 footwall On the other side he found
 the ore, unbroken and as rich as ever.
 Later he ran drift under the Castle
 Garden stope.

Special to The Republican,

SALOME, Ariz., Jan. 5.-Col. Daniel C. Jackling and Seeley w. Mudd, Of the Ray Consolidated Chino, Utah and other companies controlled by the powerful Guggenheim syndicate,
 have purchased the famous old Har-
 qua Hala Bonanza mine for a sum
 said to be in excess ot S1,000, 900.
 This news is regarded as the most important which ever broke" in the
 Salome section, with the possible ex- ception of the discovery of the Glory
 Hole back iii 1909.
 It was the acqulren.ent of an in-
 terest in the United Eastern mine by
 Mudd and Jackling that really started
 the Oatman boom The deal drew the attention of the world to Oatman, for
 Seeley- w. Mudd and D. c. Jackling are numbered among the keenest, shrewdest mining men of the United States. Salome and the nearby dis tricts of Harqua Hala and Tank pass are now looking forward to a rush which may rival that of Oatman.
 There are scores of properties around the Harqua Hala and in the Tanh
 pass region which have excellent

RRApsrREET,s REVIEW

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 While post-holiday quiet continues to characterize trade conditions, the pause in this respect is much less marked than in former years and in fact the momentum heretofore at tained has been so great that current movements are remarkably quick. In- ventorying in commercial channels oc- cupies considerable attention, but this task is being hastened. and in indus trial lines sustained activity in making up products is still the rule. though, of course. new buying is devoid of pre- vious feverish aspects. Some salesmen are again on the road and judging from the volume of spring orders received the new year certainly has opened aus piciously. Talk of early peace in Europe has diminished, and while high prices tend to encourage conservatism, 1t is well known that manufacturers have not been able to get up goods for stocks and therefore, the country Is well nigh barren of ready supplies. Jobbers report satisfactory volume of recorders and country merchants apparently have had their shelves well cleared out. Weekly bank clearings, s5,679, ,176,000.
