Truman, of the Climax mine, was in Prescott Wednesday ami informed the Courier that development work at his place was progressing nicely. At the present time they have seven shafts on this property with the prospects of as many more under the proposed development scheme. The oM mill had been idle so lonr that the ne owners determine to practically make a new one of if, and to that end erected a new concrete foundation under its battery of ten stamps, put in two new concentrators and erected new cyanid-ing tanks, besides bunk houses, blacksmith shop and' other necessary buildings for a well conducted mine including a new tramway. Mr. Truman would not say when the more active development work would commence but it would not be until everything was first class, shape, and that would be shortly and then the Climax would be heard of as a producer as it was for years in the past.

Jim ilcDcnabi and his partner who are operating it have met with very good success and in the face of their tunnel they have twelve feet of very good ore most of which will be shipping. Just now they are about finishing another shipment lot to Val Verde and from appearances it will net them fully as much as the last car which was very satisfactory. Ben Blanchard, superintendent of the Iron King, has started men to work making a camp near a property owned by the Iron King people, a short distance south of Mayer. The location on which sinking will start as soon as the camp is establisned, is on a big iron dyke, similar in appearance and formation to the Iron King.

EXPLORING FOR OIL George W. Norton Expects to Find It Near Qnartzsite. George W. Norton was down from Mohawk Friday to look after some business matters, and, as usual, handed in a bunch of news items, says the Y'uma Sentinel. He says that S.

W. Pease, who has been drilling for artesian water, last week struck oil at a depth of 400 feet in a well he was sinking at the Choyas, an old placer camp six miles from Quartzsite. Whether there is any quantity of the ore has not yet been determined. The capacity of the rig is 1.200 feet arid the well will be put down to the limit in the hope of getting a strong flow of water, or possibly developing an oil gusher. Col.

Norton is just now engaged in delivering a lot of casing from Mohawk Summit for the new 1,000 foot well now being put down at the King of Arizona mine. He reports tne Gila river as unfordable. but that the ranchers in the contiguous valleys are not worrying about that. They are having plenty if water for irrigation and all growing crops are in splendid shape. Griswold, the bicycle man has just received another lot of Racycles wfyich are going off like hot cakes.

Holdings. The details of another big mining deal in this section have just come to light though it has been knc.wn for some time that the sale had made, says the Bisbee Miner. In this deal the Solomon Springs Copper company's property has been bought by Houghton, Duluth and eastern capitalists for $500,000. The property is situated about Ave miles southeast of Bisbee, and consists of sixteen claims, formerly owned by the Solomcn Springs Copper company and others. Considerable development work has been done.

The deal ws promoted by G. E. Toni-linscn, mining broker of this city. Attorneys Hereford and Hazzard of Tucson have been engaged cf late in making examination of the titles and abstract and have recently closed their work, and the deal has been brought to a final close. The Houghton Development company has been organized to work and develop the property, and has for its directors Graham Pope, R.

R. Goodell. J. H. Rice.

F. G. Coggin. G. C.

Law-ton, of Houghton, Michigan, Samuel Kaufman, of Marquette, Michigan, and George G. Barnum, of Duluth, Minnesota. The property is considered a valuable one and has one of the greatest surface showings in the whole district, there being immense out croppings or iron and manganese, which carries some copper. One of the claims has been nicknamed the "Second Irish Mag." At tne time Mr. Tomlinson presented the property to the new purchasers Dr.

L. u. Hubbard, ex-state geologist of Michigan, was sent to make the examination. His report was favorable, and a deal was made for the property. The new company have already started work, which is under the charge ot Superintendent George C.

Lawton, a mining man of much experience and ability, and it is considered almost a certainty, that this property will develop into a big copper mine. MEXICAN MINES Some of the Largest of Them the Least TalKed About. While there are frequent stories of the wonderful mines of old Mexico some of the most remarkable enterprises being1 carried op there are seldom or never heard of in this country. A gentleman who recently returnee! from Mexico and who has traveled widely in that republic mentioned two or three such properties yesterday in a private conversation. One of them is the property of the Mazaprel Copper company whose works are at Conception del Oro in the state of Zaeatecas.

The mine is a mammoth deposit of load and copper ore and has to be, to loep running the big reduction plant which consists of copper furnaces, four lead furnaces. and a Bessemer plant for purifying tho copper. In addition the company owns a railroad l-r0 kilometers long, running from Saltillo tc Conception del Oro. From the mine to the plant are twenty kilometers of overhead tramways. The president of the company is William Purcell, who is at the head of one of the oldest banking houses in the republic, and the general manager Is Joseph Lynch.

The company is a Mexican organization, but most of the stockholders are Englishmen. For several years this company has been declaring dividends of about 40 per cent annually. The company gives em ployment to about 4 000 men. Another big enterprise is that of the Mapami Mining company, in the state of Durango, a short distance north of Torrcon. It is a Belgian company and Is returning monthly dividends amounting to about J160.000.

Like the first mentioned company it also owns its own railroad, which is notable in that it crosses over the largest sus pension bridge in the republic. The mine is silver lead, and its wirkiuns are on a laige scale as may be supposed both from the dividends quoted, and the fact that in perfecting its reduction plant it has arranged for the carrying of the sulphur fumes from the smelter through a tunnel two kilometers in length. Still another big Mexican group seldom heard of are the Bodie mines of Zacatecas which have been paying en ormous dividends though the stock is not listed and the general public knows little of what is going on there. THE P1CACHO WINDSTORM. Last Thursday afternoon some half-dozen or more stray zephyrs of California met in convention somewhere up in the range and formed a "merger" or "trust," then started to do business without the formality of a charter.

The combination had enough force to make a twenty-inch eletcric fan feel frazzled by the time it reached Picacho, and there it played some merry pranks. Some of the "Picach" men said that it played something else that sounded sulphurous. The work of the wind trust was aggravated by the heavy-rain that followed in its wake. All told; however bulk cf the damage was done by San Diego correspondents of the Los Angeles pa pars. The tornadoes they created' about wiped the thriving camp off the map, with mangled inhabitants, wrecked housis and school house ornamenting the landscape, with course, the usul bunch of "ifs." Picacho is still doing business at the old stand, only a trifle distigured and' very much in the ring.

After caressing Picacho the zephyr combine passed' around Yuma bound east. At Gila Bend it took a far.cy to the roundhoi he but could not get away with it. It did. however, secure section of the, rojf as a souvenir. Yuma Sentinel.

Hibbard, wife and daugh ter returned yesterday morning after an absence from the city of three months, during which they traveled more than 7,000 miles through a country in which one can find more enjoyment in the summertime than ary other country in the world. Dr. and Mrs. Hibbard first went to Cleveland, where they left their daughter, continuing their journey to Buffalo by boat. They visited that old but ever new world wonder, Niagara Falls, which year by year gets to be more and more of an attraction.

Th New York Central alone carried 30,000 visitors to it this season. The next stopping place was Toronto, which has been thoroughly Americanized and is in strong contrast to Montreal, which is an old French city planted on th American continent. Of its population of 360,000. 280,000 are Catholics and the French language is chiefly spoken. They went to Montreal by the steamer Richelieu through the Thousand Isl ands.

From Montreal Dr. and Mrs. Hibbard visited Lake Champlain and Lake George, said to be the most beautiful body of water In the world and situated in a region rich in historic incident. On July 4 they passed down the Hud son and entered New York, where th remained five days, giving the whole time to sight-seeing from the top of a tally-ho. The doctor had not been in the metro polis for twenty years, and the fact that struck him as the most remark able was that notwithstanding the great means that had been taken for the relief of the congestion by the building of bridges, elevated railroads and subways, to say nothing of the extension of the city horizontally, up ward and dow nward, it seemed to be as badly crowded as it was a score of years ago.

At that time Fifty-ninta street was out in the fields. Now they are tearing down on that thoroughfare almost new five and six-story build mgs in wnicn minions nave been in vested, to build still greater. The most enjoyable part of the journey was that to Boston and the sur rounding country. Boston is not quite so much engrossed in money making as New York. It is still living partly In the past, that is, preserving the memory of the past.

In order to save the historic Boston Common a. subway costing $7,000,000 has been built under It. The old state house was not torn down, but it was repaired so as to in terfere as little as possible with the old part of at a cost of All the show places of Boston and its works of art are known to all its residents irrespective of age or nationality. An eight-year-old Italian boy showed the doctor and his wife the Old North church and pointed out the window at whicn Paul Revere hung his warning lantern. An Irish youth showed them Kop's hill, from which the British bombarded Bunker hill and where also Cotton Mather was buried.

He pointed out, too. the mound where the rigid Puritans buried children presumably so that the devil would have as little trouble as possible in collecting them for eternal dam nation. They visited also Worcester, Spring lieid and West Brookfield, where Dr, Hibbard was born. They took dinne at Ye Ancient Tavern, the oldest hos telrie in the United States, where the service has been continuous since 1760 They ate in the same dining-room in which Washington and Adams hud eaten and in which Lafayette was served in 1S25. Near West Brookfield is the rock from which George Whit field preached in 1765.

On their return they spent some time at Cleveland, which has had a growth of population of 30,000 within the last year and which will shortly be the chief city of Ohio and one of the great cities of the country. There were many points of interest there, but most of them have been frequently described. One which has perhaps not been so much heard cf is the Lake View cemetery where is situated the Wade Memorial, an institution for the last attention to be shown to the dead. There is said to be no where else in the United "tale: such a nearly perfect arrangement There is still another institution a. Cleveland for the care of the dead, of which not a great deal has been heard That is a crematory which is growin in favor year by year especially among the wealthy and middle classes.

There is a chapel in connection witl! it. and when the services are over the body is removed to another room and placed in a great retort. It takes abou six hours to complete the work of in cineration. All the time there is a bias upon the burning bady which blow away the wood aihes. leaving the in destructible suits which are gathered up into urns, of which various styles are kept for sale.

According to the wish ot the last woman whose body was cremated there her ashes were gath ered up and scattered upon Lake Erie Business conditions. Dr. Hibbard said, are very good everywhere, bu there is a wide and steady fear that there is going to be serious labor trouble, so that there is a good deal of hesitation among moneyed men. There is a great deal of inquiry especially in the middle west about Arizona and the Tonto Basin dam. In the far east not much has been heard of that enterprise, but interest in it is easily aroused.

In the course of his journey Dr. Hibbard visited many hospitals and medical institutions and so returns Im proved both in mind and body. CENTRAL GIRLS OF IRON. The New Style Automatic Telephone System on Exhibition. A section of the new automatic cen- ral telephone system which is to be nstalled by the Independent Telephone company is attracting much attention the compay's quarters in the Fra- ernity building.

Colonel C. J. Bills, as the hep.d of the company, has had a portion of the system put in operation It is manipulated and explained by an expert. Our little iron girls, that can't bo flirted with or scolded or taken out to supper," said Calonel Bills, pointing to an elegant cabinet with a glass front containing twenty-four little metal contrivances, which are so arranged that they automatically select any number chosen by a patron. Three telephones have been fastened to the walls in the room and are con nected with the iron central in the glass case.

Business men dropped in during the day to hear explanation of the system and to put it to practical test. Everyone who tried it was charmed with the plan. The workmanship on the telephones is elegant and the wood work and metal combine to make an ornament for the wall rather than a cumbersome piece of unsightly wood and iron. The working of the system appears very simple. The numbers for the telephones will begin with 1.000 for the reason that the mechanism requires four figures to deal with.

A small dial contains the ten Opposite each number is a hole large enough to receive the end at the finger. The finger is placed in the hole opposite the first figure in the number of the telephone desired. The finger is then moved downward till it strikes an obstruction. There it stops and the finger is inserted opposite the second figure of th" telephone number to be communicated with. This process is repeated until the patron has moved the four figures of the combination.

The reciever having been previously- taken from its place on the hook is placed to the ear. There is no shouting of "Hello," nor does central have to ask Number," nor does the answer have to be given. After the figures have beep manipulated the receiver is placed to the ear and the patron pushes a button. This rings the bell on the telephone desired. Thus it is within the power of the user to ring the other fellow's bell till the house falls or the man he wants comes to answer his noise.

That is providing the telephone is not busy. If it is busy a buzzing noise is heard which is the signal that the telephone desired Is in use or the subscriber had removed the receiver to prevent being called. The patron may then hang up his receiver to wait and repeat the call when he thinks time enough has elapsed to permit the other party to get through his conversation. The expert in attendance by opening the glass case containing the "little iron girls" shows callers how It works. It is plain to be seen how It operates, but none but an electrician of experi ence could tell why it does.

One of the "iron girls" receives and calls from her district for the first fig ure. This is the "thousands' She bobs up promptly at the call and in so doing turns the next touch of the figure over to the "hundreds girl," who, in turn, conveys the third signal to the "tens girl." The first three girls an swer promptly and do their duty whethar the other telephone is in use or not. It is the last touch of the finger in the-unit column that tells the tale. At the last pressure of the finger the "tens girl" springs up to call the de sired unit. If the way is open the con nection is made; if it is closed, all th "girl" can do is to jump up and vainly reach for the unit notch and fall back in a helpless sort cf way and go buzzing at a lively rate.

That mean3 the telephone is in use. Each "iron girl" occupies about six by eight A coil of wires in the form of a battery is her sole makeup. the top a rod extends a few inches upward. This is cut with notches or rirgf. If a figure five is touched by the user of the telephone the girl rises fiv notches.

This makes the proper con nection. Each of these "iron girls" takes care of a certain number of tele phones, a much larger number than one of the live flesh and blood girls in the central office can manage. While the mechanism of the central office is quite complicated it is automatic, and ought not to become intractable or go on a strike. The working of the telephone itself can be learned by a child Lincoln State Journal. TRANSCRIPT OK RECORDS.

(Special correspondence of The Republican) The first national irrigation congress was held at Salt Lake City in lSStl, the home of the first example of American irrigation by the Anglo-Saxon race Mormon Irrigation forty-four years before. In 1SS1 about three and one-half million acres were under irrigation in the arid I regions, all through private enterprise and co-operative effort. Today there are nearly eight million acres irrigated and the west stands at the threshold of i a mighty development through govern- ment irrigation. There are now fifteen million dollars in the United States treasury awaiting expenditure for tho construction of great dams and canals in the western states and territories. The coming Irrigation congress will be the eleventh convention of that body and will meet in Ogden, Utah, September 15th next.

The intermediate congresses havo been held at various points roughout the arid region. The second congress was held at Los Angeles and was attended by representatives from Great Britain, Canada. Australia, India, Russia, France. Mexico and Peru. The third irrigation congress met at Denver, the fourth at Albuquerque, N.

and the fifth at Phoenix, Arizona. It is something of a coincidence that the Phoenix congress should have been the first to declare for the policy ot national irrigation" and that that city is likely to be the scene- of the first great government dam the outcome of the policy and resolutions, rigidly ad hered to by every succeeding irriga tion congress, in spite of bitter fights for cession of the arid public lands to the several states. The sixth congress was held at Lin coln, Nebraska, the seventh at Chey enne, Wyoming, the eighth at Missoula, Montana, the ninth, the first big congress, at Chicago, Illinois, and the tenth at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Chicago congress had the effect of bringing the irrigation discussion in to the east and showing its national aspect that any great improvement in any western section would1 have a reflex benefit in the eastern part of the country and that the agricultural development in the west would mean an increased market for the products of eastern manufacturers. Then came a surprisingly strong fight by the irrigation forces in the short session of the 56th congress, followed by President Roosevelt's active championship of the cause and the passage of the irrigation law in the following long session, June 17, 1902.

The early part of August 1903 saw the contract let for the first government irrigation works under this la.w. GUY E. MITCHELL. PERSONAL. I C.

He drove it into the yard with the seventeen, and said: "Now we will suppose that your father left these eighteen elephants.
