WEEKLY JODRNAL-MINER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY, 19, 1913. 7 RE BIG BAND OF ELK ACHES WINSLOW Noble Animal Brought From Wyoming And Will be Turned Loose On Arizona Ranges. All praise to the Elks of Arizona. The .noble animal that symbolizes their order is to receive humane consideration, as was reflected on Wednesday afternoon when the first "herd of -eighty-three arrived at Wins low, in fine condition and were ac corded -a welcome that brought every Tesident of that city out to witness their unloading. Dr. R. N. Looney, who wa the representative of the Prescott lodge, -viewed the interesting proceeding, and states that the animals were ."very much admired and the incident appealed to all from the standpoint that the bunch had found a home that in the future would not be bur dened with the cold blasts of the northland and that food in plenty would be their lot hereafter. The bunch was brought 5rom 'Gardner, Wyoming, and only "two died on the long trip of twelve days, both by accident. Of this shipment all are fawns, with two old cows that win act "as leaders on tire -range. Seventy are does and thirteen are bucks. They were corraled near the deoot and -all were as gentle as cat tie on the Tange. Their keeper who accompanied them on the long trip stated that "thousands aTe dying in the north -every winter from lack of food, and with the rapid decimation going on it would be -only a few years more until they -would be as S 3 a 51 a III 1FI IVI City News ..in Brief 1 scarce as the buffalo. After the herd is rested at Wins low for a few days they will be crated and taken to Chevelor. creek, about fifty miles south, where a large corral awaits them. They will be kept enclosed for the next five weeks, and will be well fed, a large stock of hay being on the ground foT that purpose. Later they will be permitted to range at will and will have as fine a feeding ground as is to be found anywhere in the south west, and with water abundant every where. This beautiful movement had its inception many months ago with the grand lodge of Elks of the state and the subordinate bodies crystaliz- ed the movement by acting gener ously and expeditiously, taking the matter to Washington, and receiving the hearty support of the Agricul tural Department. This shipment is the initial one, and will be followed next year by another. The reserve set aside for these animals was formerly the home of the elk, but they were extermin ated over fifty years ago by the nomadic tribes of Indians who were at war with each other. A bill is to be presented to the legislature now in session Imposing a heavy penalty for the kining of any of the herd that has arrived and that here after may be imported. (From Thursday's Daily.) Visiting Physician. Dr. H. G. Norton, of Crown King, is in the city on professional and other business. Visiting Lawyer. T. A. Flinn, the attorney of Flag staff, is in the city on a brief visit, while en route to the capital. Visiting Friend. Mrs. E. B.

Coming to Front. Ed. Parsons, who arrived from his camp near the Climax on the Hassayampa yesterday, reports the latter property as attracting very much attention in mining circles, and a system of practical development is being carried out energetically under the supcrintendency of Willis A. Cates that has every indication of determining a very valuable gold mine. Large bodies of rich ores are with certain stationery supplies, and j being exposed in drifting and raising from the lower levels, and rapid progress is being made in exploring new ground. The old mill is being re-built and the camp is now the scene of lively times. Pleased Easterners. E. V. Ellis and grandfather, Miss DeLoria, of Manamint, Massachu setts, were in the city yesterday from the camp of the Arizona Bonanza mines, near McCabe, en route to the coast for the winter. Mr. Ellis is a stockholder of the company, and de voted an entire week to making an examination of development. He ex pressed himself as decidedly well pleased with the future possibilities of that property, and the district generally. Both visitors were enter tained by General Manager and Mrs J. H. Farrell, and state they are charmed with the country and san guine over the future of the Bonanza holdings. MONEY "ENOUGH 'TO LAST TWO YEARS RIDICULES IDEA OF ALLEGED LAND GRAB (Prom Thursday' Daily.) Active development operations are being carried on at the United Verde Extension property under the super vision o'f George Kingdom of the Old Dominion as consulting engi neer. Work is at present concen trated in clearing out -file old work ings which filled up -while the mine was closed down. There are some 300 Teet of those workings which will haw to be attended 'to but before the end of the present -month it is hoped that it will be possible to lo cate the new shaft. At "the point se lected for the shaft an -upraise will be started and a winze will also be sunk -to depth, so that by the time the shaft is holed through to the surface, or before, .-considerable knowledge wil have been obtained of conditions at depth. Present expenses are at ihe rate of about $6,000 per month so that by the terms of the Douglas stock pur chase -the company has funds suffi cient to last for at least two years. Directors Douglas and Tener are visiting the properly now -and on their -return it is expected ihat ad ditional information as to the pro gress of developments will be avail able. Stockholders of the Jerome Verde Company at a meeffng on January 31st ratified the terms of the option which -the United Verde Company obtained on their -property. The 4 option runs for a period of three years and at the end of that time Ihe company can be taken over on a stock basis. This property is believ ed to possess considerable value anS can be worked most advantageously from the United Verde Extension new shaft -while the former workings of the Jerome Verde Company were 5n another part of the tract. Among the members of the Doug las syndicate, which is now in con trol of United Verde Extension, are the following: John D. Ryan, of the Amalgamated; W. D. Thornton and L. D. Ricketts of Greene Cananea; John C. Greenway, of Calumet & Arizona; H. B. Hovland, of Inspira tion; W. A. Corey, the steel man; Gordon R. Campbell, C A. Congdon, George T. Oliver, Charles Briggs, Thomas Hoatson and others scarce ly less well known. Boston Finan cial News. (From Thursday's Dally) The Tcport from Phoenix that "land -grabbers" are taking or figur ing on taking a great body of un survcyed land with scrip as charged by Representative Tiladdox, is impos sible of bclieT said 'Fen S. Hildreth yesterday. As a matter of rfact, there is not to exceed 1000 acTes of unsureyed land scrip in existence, and the price on this class of scrip is from $35 to $55 an acre. Any prudent man would surely net cxpenU that much money an acre 1o speculate on unsurveyed land, and I know of no case where scrip has Ticen sold to a speculator. It Is sold almost entirely to cattle men, Irrigation companies and home stead and ilescrt land cntrymen. The cattleman uses it to protect his range and to get a pasture which he can fence. Irrigation companies use the scrip to get 'land upon -which to put water, thus 'building up the country and carrying out the conservation policy of the government. The de sert land entrymen and rthe home stead claimants use the scrip be cause with it, residence 5s not ne cessary and he can raise money with which to improve his land. Neither the Santa Fe railroad nor the scrip dealers file on the land for them selves Init sell 'it to individuals to protect Iheir range or entries. The accusation of Mr. Maddox that "land grabbers'" stood "in with the .com mission 3s ridiculous, as there' has been no land selected for specula tion and the commission would be the last place for a person to go lor information. If he indicated lie wanted certain lands, -.the state "board if it wished, could tlect ahead rof him and thus defeat his pbnfi, -if Jie ever had any." ordered bids to be re-advertised Visit Ends. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Holmes, of El Paso, Texas, after a week's visit to the city with Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Bishop, returned home yesterday. To the Coast. Mrs. W. J.

I must say that after taking two 25-cent packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, it did me more good than all I ever spent for other medicines.
