MAGMA CHIEF |S SINKING SHAFT

(From Saturdays Daily.)

Work is progressing rapidly and
 satisfactorily on the Sombrero Butte
 property Of the Magma Chief Cop,

 new shaft is down 24O feet. At the
 120 foot level, tunnel has been driven to connect the shaft with the
 surface which was made possible by
 the steep slope of the hill in which
 the shaft stands. This tunnel en- countered a good grade of carbonate ore 40 feet from the shaft. This tun- nel was continued from the new
 shaft for distance of 25 to 30 feet,
 to a point underneath the old 95
 foot shaft, and raise was put up and connections made with the old workings. The same high grade of ore was encountered here as that found in the old workings. A station has been cut at the 220 foot level and
 that as well as the shaft, is ill good milling ore. At the 24O foot level the same high grade of ore was struck, averaging Is per cent copper, that was encountered in the ayper levels, which proves the increasing

 transportation of the ore to tLeI shelter at Hayden and two motor trucks installed.

 The management is increasing the working fcice which, with the in creased dcvc opment, will materially augment the production. As a resui: of the devcloymcnt work so far c0rl- pleted, it looks as though Magma Chief will be one of the large, high grade copper producers. possibly ill the same class with the United Verd, Extension, which in two years advanced from $1 per share to over 2

PRESCOTT GETS BIG
 SOAKING LAST NIGHT
(From Saturdays Daily)

Prescott fell in line finally last night in being drenched by the big gest storm in many years, and with all the indications of cloudburst.
 Streets of the city ran like rivers, sidewalks were inundated, and base ments in the business center were flooded, with reported damage done to goods stored.
 Granite creek ran from bank to bank with a depth of water from four 10 eight feet, and in some shal- low sections ovetflowed into Granite street OH the south. The crossing on Gurley street from the Owl to Ja- coby's barber shop was so deep that it could not be negotiated for over half an hour, and in other localities similar condition was reported. Un- like similar summer storms, there was but a limited demonstration of lightning caprices in the city, but in the distance the scene was spectac- ular. This was the first genuine downpour to strike the city this sea son, and one of the biggest in many years

SILVER MINES AGAIN IN ACTION
 
(From Saturday's DailYO

An arrival yesterday from that sec ton of Turkey creek where Goodwin is the postofice, stated there are scenes today in silver mining which recall the old era. Many properties are developing with gratifying re- suits. In fact, stated the visitor, there are determinations being made that are remarkable, and can be sub stantiated by several dumps of the high grade, and while only leasers are operating, it is through their cf- forts that d desirably rated mineral field is rapidly being established
 Mention is made of the McMasters group, which is being operated un- der a lease by McKenna & Williams, that has the ear marks of being a bonanza. This firm has shipped to date a carload to Hayden and an other will soon be ready, eighteen tons on the dump sampling as high as 700 ounces, the vein being F inches wide. It was the general be- lief in that section that these leas- CTS would make a snug fortune.
 Another interesting announcement was that four camps are being estab lished on what is known as the old John Holmes vein, the owners of mines thereon being R. H. Burmister, John Terry, William Bones and Thomas Roach, each with one loca- tion Some of the claims were pro ducing and all are under leasing.
 Johnson & Scholey also are leas- ing a group owned by Richard Illus ton, and are reported to be making success. Huston also mas another group, being handled by a teaser ill that section, but on Pine Flat
 A report was in circulation that the famous old Bully Bueno, the first silver location made ill this county, was to swing into action as soon as legal permission could be obtained from the owners, and leasers will be i'll charge.
 Scattered over the country were a dozen individual operators, all re- opening old silvers. Very few loca- tions were being made, as that field had been combed out many years ago and by prospectors who were expert ill the business.

Am happy at last, Belle, over landing in this town after fourteen months of reai heall in Siberia, and you may think such an expression somewhat overdrawn, when 1t IS con sidered that the above country IS the coldeSt on earth; but it goes just the same, and I mean It," writes Sergt.

ONE SLANDEROUS REPORTER IN
 PHOENIX

Just as though the live and bust ling capital city-metropolis of Pnoe- nix did not afford enough daily news for any paper, the Republican is now engaged in trying to bring together deserted wives and husbands, vic tins of the intolerable warmth of the valley. This would be all right if, in process of conducting his Sum mer, Romance" department, the bright young reporter had not cast sspersions on the masculine popu- lation of Prescott. That calls for a sharp and vengeful retort.
 Listenl
 But to revert to the young woman in Prescott who is lonely. She writes that she Is very lonely, being in a strange state Her letter is se- rious reflection on the manhood of Prescott. It is evidently up to them to show their colors, as the men of Phoenix have done. If they will fol- low that wonderful example of chiv- airy, such letters would never leave Prescott. However, she states she is 3 years of age and trusts the new department of tine Republican will be a help to the lonely in a religious way
 The religious editor of the Re publican has been called into confer ence Cor will be called as soon as lie returns from a dance at Riverside, where he took a lonely summer widow) and it is trusted he will be able to advise the proper course.
 Prescott young men deeply resent the implication that there is a pretty yet lonely nurse at Whipple Bar racks. Not even the less favored ones are lonely. This statement is founded on the very best of informa- ton. Has the writer not seen the gallant attentions of Prescott youth toward Whipple beauty? He has. Moreover, he could point to affairs by the score, both social and of the heart, devised and intended to pre- vent the incroach of loneliness among the servants of mercy at the big military hospital.
 There are only two theories to be formed from the Summer Romance mans article-either his statements are pure romance and therefore part of his self-elected profession, or there was such a letter written, and its writer has been keeping herself inconnue in some recess of the Post, No light of longing shines for long in the eyes of ''our" nurses!

500 PERSONS VISIT
 COUNTRY CLUB SITE
(From Saturdav's Daily

Just about the prettiest spot with which Mother Nature has blessed Arizona" was the comment heard at the opening of the Hassayampa Country club grounds "Wednesday evening. To those who were not familiar with the grounds, the open ing night was revelation, while to those who believed they were wise in the selection of the site, their be- lief was strengthened the more. It was freely shown that the possibili- ties of the Hassayampa Country club are unlimited. In the neighborhood of 500 persons visited the grounds and enjoyed the band concert.
 There is no question but that not country club in the entire west can boast of as beautiful and ideal loca- ton as that selected by the Has sayampers. One fact that will appeal 10 all is the beauty of the location. The picturesque little valley with rolling mesas, carpeted with beauti- ful wild flowers and native grasses and completely surrounded by ma iestic mountains brings the lover of outdoor life into the heart of the for est with only a ten minute drive or half hours hike from the center of Prescott.

The following letter was received yesterday by County Recorder Me Swiggin ( from Congressman Carl Hayden, which will be of interest to mine owners in learning that exeemp- ton from performing annual assess ment work for the year 1919 is spe- ci6ed under certain conditions, namely, five claims, and that the sen ate will approve of the resolution, that passed the house on July 31, there is no question:

GOLF BUG GETS FIRM
 HOLD IN PRESCOTT
(From Sundays Daily.)

In Prescott much interest is being shown in the game of golf. Since the building Of the course at the Target Range and the organization of the Hassayampa Country club this inter. est is being aroused to a high pitch At this time few remarks on the game of golf are certainly in order. When a player first decides to de vote himself to the game of golf he has generally something to unlearn at the very outset, even though he has never attempted to strike a ball with driver in his life. In nine cases out of ten he must abandon all his preconceived notions about the game and must realize that so far from be- ing the easy thing to play that it seems when watching a capable ex- pondent of the game drive long balls and place short shots quite near to the hole almost every time, it is an exceedingly difficult thing, and that proficiency, even ill the case of the most athletic and adaptable persons, is only acquired as the result of years of the most patient and pains taking practice and of the most careful thought and study of the sci entihc side of the game.
 The old idea that golf was d fat mans game or nice little afternoon skit for the ladies is thing of the past in America today.
 No game demands more scientific accuracy than golf, and there is no game in which shots that are not well played more surely meet with their just punishment. Tn the reverse there is no game in which small de- greeS of skill count more regularly ill favor of the player who possesses them. The things that look easiest in golf are generally the hardest, and it sometimes takes man years to learn properly how to poise his club upwards in the swing back before striking the ball-in fact some play CTS go through lifetime without ac quiring the proper method, and their game throughout suffers accordingly.
 The golfer finds himself so con
