HIGH GRADE IN HARCUVAR.

SALOME, Feb. 21.-The opening
up of high grade copper ores, gener-
ally carrying good gold values, at so
many places in the Harcuvar range,
is attracting more than local atten
tion and causing the investment Of
considerable outside capital, particu
larly from the older copper districts
of the state, such as Globe, Jerome
and Bisbee.
The Desert Mining and Develop
ment company, where the main shaft
is now down over three hundred feet
and which has opened up sulphide
ores of shipping value on the lower
levels is financed by Jerome and
Clarkdale people almost entirely,
while the Wenden Copper company,
through Cunningham Pass to the
north is controlled by men prOmi
nent in the big copper companies of
Globe The Cunningham property,
which is making regular shipments
of high grade copper sulphides from
both the 800 and 400-foot levels, is
controlled by Stent and associates,
of Atolia fame, while the Black Reef,
west of the Deserts being operated
by w. A. Scott, who has so success
fully handled the affairs of the Su-
perstition Consolidated
On all of these properties, high
great sulphide copper ores have
been opened up, always carrying
gold values ranging from a few dol
lars to over $50 a ton, in car lots.
The properties mentioned are but
few of the more prominent ones,
where most of the development work
is being done. Further west the Cor
brita Mines company has opened up
solid black sulphides and has just
completed the installation of
plant ready for deep sinking on the
vein already opened up by tunnel
work, from which high grade ship
ments have been made.
The principal naturalization in
the Harcuvars extends from Gun
ningham Pass to Tank Pass, center
ing about Cottonwood Pass and COW
ering a length of about fifteen miles
by six or more in width, north of the
towns of SalOme and Wenden With
in this area there are hundreds of
prospects and partially developed
properties, including a score or more,
which have made shipments of from
a few tons to a thousand or more.

INVESTMENTS IN ARIZONA
McGINNIS.

A party of eastern and San Diego
people, accompanied by B. LVau-
ghn, president of the Arizona Nc
Ginnis Copper company, arrived in
Parker Sunday afternoon anc spent
a couple of days inspecting the
property of the company In the
party were: Miss Esther L. Robin
son of Cedar Springs, Mich, Miss
Sarah A. Clark and Frank Bowen of
Detroit, Mich, Col. D. G. Collier and
Charles A. Smith of San Diego. All
of the parties are stockholders in the
Arizona-McGinnis Copper company,
and after their visit to the mine they
declared that the showing was far
beyond their expectations. Some of
the parties were so we'll pleased with
their investment in the company
that they contracted for additional
blocks of the stock, which speaks
we'll for the management and the
way the money of the stockholders
is being spent, all of it going into
actual development work

CANNOTFIN
NEW HIGHWAY
ROAD BETWEEN PARKER AND
BOUSE WILL NOT BE COMPLET-
ED OWING TO LACK OF FUNDS,
SAY SUPERVISORS.

After completing about one-half
of the new county highway between
Parker and Bouse and leaving un-
finished approximately fourteen
miles of the road, the board of super
visOrs will soon stop construction
work, according to the Yuma Sun.
The Sun states that the recent suit
brought against the board of super
visors by the State Taxpayers asso-
citation to compel the board to pay
$28, 600 from the road fund into the
general fund is the direct cause of
holding up the completion of the the
highway in northern Yuma county
Aside from the $4,000, which has
been tied up on account of the suit,
the road fund is not only depleted
but shows a deficit of $4,000, and, of
course, northern Yuma county roads
are the ones that are to go uncom-
pleted, as the southern end of the
county was taken care of early in
the game, and before the present
shortage loOmed in sight
Work on the northern highway
was delayed as long as possible, and
several months ago this paper pre-
dicted that it was doubtful if the
proposed highway would ever be
completed. If the board is COM
PEELED to pay the $28,00O in question
back to the general fund from the
road fund, it is quite possible that
the highway between Parker and
Bouse will not be completed for sew
eral years.
1t is alleged by the Taxpayers as
sociation that the $28,O0O which
the supervisors paid for the selling
of the highway bonds is not a legal
charge against the general fund of
the county, and this opinion is held
by a number of prominent lawyers.
That portion of the northern
highway which has been completed
is a fine piece of road, and it is de-
plorable that the highway cannot be
completed to Parker as authorized at
the time the bonds were voted by the
people of the county. 1t appears
that the north end has gotten the
worst of the deal The board of su-
pervisors should have provided the
necessary funds for the northern
highway beyond any possible con-
tingency, but a section of a county
that is without any representation
cannot hope to fare as we'll as the
section that has all of the represen-
tatiOn.

Don't Keep Your Savings
in a Sock

Before the advent of the Savings
Bank, people who had thrift enough
to save, resorted to all sorts of ex-
pedients to house and hide their saw
ings. A wool sock was a favorite
abiding place for the surplus cash.
A tin box hid under plank in the
floor was another Behind picture
frames and in old clocks were often
the secret repositories. And even
today with all the educational adver-
tising the banks of our country are
doing, these improvident methods of
provincialism still exist. The money
lies dormant and insecure, and with
no earning power. Placed in the
Savings Department of this Bank,
the savings are secure, immune from
theft, and become steady earning
power Start an account today, add
to it regularly, and prepare for a
rainy day.

BUILDING ROAD
TOEAGLESHAFT
EMPIRE PREPARING FOR SINK
ING SHAFT TO WATER LEVEL
PRIDE RESUMES WORK AND
SHAFT IS GOING DOWN.

Preliminary to sinking it's
Eagles Nest shaft to a depth of
1000 feet, the Empire-Arizona Cop
per company has let contract for
the construction of a road to the
site of the Eagles Nest workings to
facilitate the transportation of the
machinery that will make up the
necessary equipment for deepening
the shaft to water level.
The contract was awarded to
John Roberts, who now has force
of fourteen men working on the
road The road to be constructed
is approximately a mile in length
completed in about three weeks.
Upon completion of the road the
officials of the company say that
new machinery will be here ready
for installation. The equipment
will consist of 60 h. p. hoist and
a five-drill compressor plant.
The present depth of the Eagles
Nest shaft is $50 feet, and high
grade copper. ore is being taken out
of the drift in process of carrying
on development work, a recent
carload shipped from this working
ran $8O.5O per ton, and the pre-
vious carload shipped to the smelter
went even higher than this.
The company proposes to develop
each level during sinking operations
and as fast as stations are cut cross
cuts will be run into the big rich
ore body. Shipments from the
Eagles Nest will be maintained and
will necessarily increase as depth is
gained.
A good grade of copper ore con-
tinues to come from Treasure Hill,
and every week is adding to the pos
sible tonnage on this property. Be-
fore many months have passed it is
believed that sufficient tonnage will
be opened up to warrant the con-
struction of a railroad from Parker
to the mines of the Empire-Arizona
by the Santa Fe.

MINE EDITION
IS GROWING
SPECIAL MINING NUMBER To BE
ISSUED BY POST IN MARCH
IS MEETING WITH POPULAR
APPROVAL AND PATRONAGE.

The Special Mining Edition which
is to be issued by The Post early
next month is meeting with univer-
sal favor on the part of mine own
ers and operators throughout north
ern Yuma county. The edition is
growing in magnitude every day,
and it will undoubtedly be the great
est advertisement this section OF
western Arizona has ever had.
One well-known mining man said
the other day to Post representa-
tive: "The Special Mining Edition
of your paper which you propose is
suing should be worth many thou
sands of dollars to this part of Ari
zona. We've got the ore and we can
get the capital to take it out of the
ground if we but give our vast min
eral resources the proper kind Of
publicity. Your edition is just what
is needed to bring the mines Of this
section to the attention of the in
vesting public. Every mine owner
and mining company should be rep
resented in the forthcoming edi
ton"
From all indications the edition
will greatly exceed the Is, 900 cop
les promised last week. The Post
started out with the intention of
printing about 5000 copies, but in
a few days orders far exceeding that
number were taken, and the past
week orders for extra copies of the
paper have been literally pouring
in, until we are almost convinced
that the edition will run up to 25,-
900 copies. This will exceed by
many thousands of copies any spec
ial edition ever before printed in the
state of Arizona.
No mining district in this section
will be overlooked, and no Operat
ing company can afford not to be
represented in the edition. Orders
for extra copies should be sent in at
once, as the first part of the big edi-
tiOn will go to press in about ten
days.
Reservation for advertising space
should be made at the earliest pos
sible moment, as we can only run
a limited number of pages devoted
to advertising, and this space is fast
being contracted for.
The edition will be profusely il
lustrated and representative of
The Post is now in the field taking
views which will appear in the spec
ial number
This section of Arizona is sched-
uled for unprecedented mining ac-
tivity during the next few years,
and investors all over the United
States can be attracted here if our
properly brought to their attention.
No better medium for this purpose
can be found than the forthcoming
special mining edition of this paper.
Publicity spells prosperity for this
part of Arizona, and The POSTS
special mining edition is going to
tell the world the story. Millions
of dollars await the wise investor
in the mines of this section, and the
tremendous circulation of the edi-
tion is bound to attract the right
kind of people to the opportunities
for investment here. Practically ev-
cry copy of the edition will go into
the hands of investors, and every
property mentioned in the edition
will profit by the publicity thus OBJ

''The trip which l took to the prop
erty with Mr.. Wiley was made at a
time when | was fresh from the ex-
animation of certain important cop
per mines in Utah. | was much i'm
pressed with, the similarity of geo.
logical conditions in the district;
particularly in the region of the
group of claims specified above, to
the productive sections of Bingham
Canyon, Utah. The geological re-
lation of the porphyry to the sur
rounding rocks and the general min
eralization of the porphyry were fea-
lures of great similarity between
the two districts. The body of low
grade ore "copper" about the bot
tom of the Bullion shaft, and in the
two cross cuts therefrom, became
much more significant than it had
ever been before, and l formed the
firm belief that at the depth of 400
to 500 feet great body of pOrphry
sufficiently mineralized to be profit
able for concentration with a 15c
copper market could be developed
and made Immediately available for
extraction. | commented at the time
that the average of the assays taken
by Mr.. Wiley and myself even at the
depth of the present level driven
from the Bullion shaft, was some
what in excess of the average grade
OF ore being treated at the Cactus
mine at Newhouse, Utah, and about
the same as the average of the Utah
Copper Co. Aside from the indica-
tiOns that large bodies of impreg-
mated pOrphyry are likely to be de-
velOped, there is good assurance
that in the process of such mining
you would also encounter veins of
limited width, containing grade
of copper ore suitable for direct
shipment to the smelters suffi-
cient work has been accomplished
upon the Bullion group of claims
to satisfy me that the ground show
ed most excellent promises of con-
tanning at proper depth copper de-
pOsits of great magnitude, and prob
ably deposits of commercial grade"
Mr.. w. H. Wiley says: "The wide
extent of the naturalization (cop-
peri in connection with the favor
able formation, is encouraging, and
the Bullion property is we'll worthy
of further development. With
proper expenditure the chances for
a valuable mine are good"
From the report of Mr.. Norris
Eads: after looking over several
propositions here in Arizona, and
across the river in California,
found nothing to equal the Bullion
group as a showing for a copper
mine, with it's numerous surface out
crops of high grade oxide and car
Donate ore, the immense body of sui
phide ore, opened at the 100 foot
level, which has lately developed an
ore body 120 feet wide. The samples
| have taken, while not a systematic
sampling, indicate a value of be-
tween 2 and per cent copper. A
shipment of sulphide ore taken from
the Bullion dump assayed II 2-1O
copper; this, of course, was the best
ore picked from the dump. I fully
believe you. would be justified in
going ahead with the Bullion shaft
to water level, then doing explora-
tiOn work from that point My
reason for this being the extensive
surface showing, the large body of
sulphide at the 100 foot level, and
the formation; in this case we know
that it will be an important factor
in view of the fact that the ore
shipped carried such high Values

This Simple Laxative
A Household Necessity
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Should Have a Place in
Every Home.

Constipation, or inaction of the
bowels, a condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequency, is the direct cause of much
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated
and unless the congestion is quickly
relieved the system becomes weaken
ed and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve consti.
patton are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwelrs Syr.
up Pepsin.
The Hon. John d. Keister of Bran
dy-wine, W. Va, who has represented
his district in the state legislature for
SIX years, writes that he uses DR..
CaldWelPs Syrup Pepsin and finds it
splendid laxative, easy to take and
mid, yet positive in its action, and
that it should be in every household
for use when needed.

states and costs only fifty cents a

WHY RHEUMATISM COMES

a close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma.
tism. Prof. Alex Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres.
ence in the system of uric acid, or
its salts in excess, is the real cause
OF rheumatism. Every one has rec.
ognized the difference in the appear.
ance of their water as soon as it gets
cold; there is often a copious sedi.
ment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys.
TEN, which, in turn. cause rheumatism
or gout, or creaky joints. swollen
fingers, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating, as
in the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care of the double
burden. Another reason is that peo.
pie do not drink as much waite, in
cold weather as in summer. which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again.
they eat more meat in cold weather.
and some people are so susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatism
after eating meat.
At all such times persons should

The employers decided to combine
with labor in working out this indus
trial reform scheme after the labor
men through the joint labor commit.
tee on labor problems after the war
had formulated a list of concessions
for the men. This committee is rep
reSentatiye of all the big labor or

The committee urged that the gov
eminent should make workers in mu

kind OF provision as has been already
promised for the discharged soldier
including: A months leave on full
pay, free railway ticket 70 any place

organized facilities for obtaining fresh

This action led to the meeting OF
leading employers and heads of the
big trade unions. 1t was realized that
If the huge task of getting men back
to their old places after the war was
left to the labor exchanges collapse
was threatened and trouble was sure
to follow. The meeting, therefore. re-
solved that it was necessary to create
a special organization consisting main
ly of representatives of employers and
trade unions. Its action is taken Sc.
riously not only because the meeting
was presided over by Frederick Huth

Bank of England, but because of the
representative character of both EN-
