The announcement of the resumption

WICKENBURG AND VICINITY.
Another Test Run Made at the Oro
Grande Mill.
The News-Herald of Saturday has
the following items concerning the
rr.mes near Wickenburg: The Oi'o
Grande mine. is reported to have made
another short test run with the name
high degree of satisfaction to the own
ers a the former one was. Mr. Lp
ton has been working steadily for i-ev-eral
months trying to develop a wa
ter supply in the mine. Falling in this
ho has decided to put in a pipe line
from the Hassayampa river. After
tnls Is Installed there will be veiy lit
tle trouble to make the test run re
quired before putting in the bitf mill
proposed.
Our friend Dr. Slusher is still push
ing the old Kyland mine. It Is one of
the best prospects and has a bright
future as soon as it can be started up".
The doctor thinks it is better ta inai:s
haste slowly. When he gets things
started they will hum Bure enough.
There is no good reason, with the good
showing and with first class mining
men In charge of the affairs of tho
ccmpany. why they should not get
things going in good shape !n the near
future.
Work at the Electra Mining com
pany's property in the Black Rork dis
trict is still progressing nicely. Tliey
are workiing a small force of men and
are doing good work for the expense
they are at. The company is careful
and business-like in all Us movement
Dukota parties who examined tho
properties some time ago, have gone
home and given a good report cf the
property. The stock ought to be a good
buy at 10 cents a share, for the prop
erty is about the best showing In the
country.
Arthur Hendy returned Wednesday
from Harrisburg, where he went to ex
amine the property of the Socorro
Mining company. The affairs of the
company have been in bad shape lor
some time past, but a new board of
directors has been elected and Sr.
Hendy has been sent out to make a
careful examination of the property.
He has been on the ground twico be-
! fore this, and his former reports kvere
very favorable to the property. A
brother of this Mr. Hendy, a. very
wealthy man in the east, has been -ilec
ted as one of the directors. George I),
and P. C. Workman, two capitalists of
j Connecticut, are the president and
secretary-treasurer, respectively, of
the company.
Richard E. McGillen, a prominent
mining man of Placerlta, was in Mar
tinez Thursday on business. He is op
erating some rich claims with twelve
ton Huntington mill, the veins being
thin, but carrying very high values.
Most of the work is of the nature of
prospecting. One shaft, which Is down
200 feet, gives promise of a bigger
ledge below. According to Mr. Mc
Gillen, the same mistake has been
made in that vicinity as in many oth
ers, that of looking for a mine on top
of the ground.
o
YAVAPAI'S PROGRESS.
A List of Some Things That Have
Been Accomplished in Her Mines.
Hon. M. G. Burns is probably as
well posted on the mining Industry
in this section as any man In it
Bearing on the advance made in
mining In Yavapai county during
the past year, he has given the Cour
ier the following, the result of his
personal observations, says the Pres
cott Courier:
Two new hoists and a mill have bef.-n
Installed on the Iron King mine, at
Iilanchard.
On the Iron King Extension, bein
operated by Douglas, Lacy & Co., a
roist has been installed.
The Val Verde Smelter Co. have In
creased their plant to the extent of
$25,000. and are working 45 men at
the Gladstone mine, McCabe, Arizona
which property they have under lease
and bond.
The Model Mining company have
put in a new hoist and mill and are
working 50 men.
Two miles west Judge Wells has
sunk a shaft on tho Leland mine to a
depth of 400 feet and has placed a new
hoist thereon.
The Dividend Mining company ad
joining the Leland. are installing a
new hoist with a capacity of 1,600 feet,
this in addition to their other hoist
and machinery on the property.
John S. Jones, on the Little Jes.sie
mines, is installing a hoist with a ca
pacity of l.f'OO feet and has in con
templation the erection of a large mill.
The Alta mining company, in Eu
genia gulch, have placed a new
hoist on their property.
The Yeager Canyon Copper company
have added a new hoist and are now
installing .1 concentrating plant, in ad
dition to the machinery already on the
ground.
The Stark mining company, operat
ing the Hidden Treasure mine, have
put in a new hoist and a ten-stamp
mill.
The Golden Cross mining company,
on Lynx creek, have remodeled and in
creased the capacity of the mill.
The Monroe Consolidated have ad
ded a hoist.
The Gray Eagle has remodeled its
mill and added a new hoist.
The Rapid Transit has added a new
hoist. The Groom Creek, the Chicago com
pany, has put in a new hoist.
The Home Run mine, being operat-
ed by Douglas, Lacy & Co., has a
I1C 11,111 tlUU 1101L.
The Ideal company has put in a new
hoist and mill.
The Jeiorre Canyon Copper company
has put in a new hoist.
In Congress; district, the Snyder
company has "put in a hoist; the Sul
tan company a mill; the Oro Grande
a new mill; tUe O'Brien mine increas
ed capacity of mill and has new
hoist; the Black Rock mining com
pany put in a new hoist.
The Climax mine, Hassayampa dis
trict, increased capacity of mill and
has new hoist.
The Catoctln mine, Mt. Union, has
a new hoist.
The Rockefellow mine increased
capacity of mill.
The Arizona and Michigan company
has a new hoist; W. C. Bashford's
property a new hoist.
The Brodie mine. Crook Canyon, a
hoist.
The Lone Pins Mining Company,
Agua Frla. a hoist.
The Lion Copper company, a hoist.
Pfau Mining company, Cherry
Creek district, a hoist.
George A. Treadwell Mining com
pany, at Mayer, two new hoists one
jn the Boggs and one on the Hack
berry mines.
The Rigby Reduction Works, at
Maj-er, have installed an $100,000
chlorination plant for the reduction
of custom ,ores.
The United Verde Mining company,
it Jerome, a new smelter on the Iron
King mine, doubled milling capacity
and added new hoist.
The Bannie mine, on Lynx creek, a
new hoist; Victor mine, on Lynx creek,
doubled milling capacity and addeC
new hoist.
Columbia mine, Pine Flat, a n
hoist.
The Great Peck, a new hoist; the
King Fortune, a new hoist.
The Merchants' Mining company
have Installed a new hoist on their
properties. Mr. Burns also says that
20 per cent, more miners were employ
ed during 1903 than during 1902.
Thus it will be seen that during the
year 1903. 37 new hoists were installed;
eight new mills were put up; seven
mills had capacity Increased; one new
smelter was put up: one smelter had
capacity Increased, and one new ore
reduction works was put up. This
showing does not leave the pessimist
and crorker much ground to stand on,
to be sure.
The outlook for th eyear 1904 is the
brightest in the history of this section.
The outside world has just commenced
to realize that this is the best mining
country on earth, and the inflow of
dollars and people from this time oti
bids fair to startle the world.

The discussion about Revolutionary
ancestors is joined by J. D. Simpson,
of Welington, whose grandfather wa
with the patriot forces. The grand
father was a little sawed-off man. He
was refused as' a soldier on account of
his small size several times, and finally
got Into the army by standing In the
rear rank on a block of wood six Inches
high. He was present at the surrender
of General Burgoyne to General Ga'.es.
Mr. Smith'Saya:
He Raw General TJurgoyne deliver
his sword to General Gate3, and aa
there has been some . discussion In hlsr
tory as to how General Burgoyne de
livered his jfword, I will give my grand
father's version of !t.
"He said that when General Bur
goyne met General Gates he was the
finest looking man he ever saw, about
six feet tall, every Inch a soldier, with
a new uniform of the finest material
'regimentals' grandfather called them
and looked down on General Gate3,
who waa a very short man, "and drcssej
In a suit of homespun, linsey-woolsey,
s much as- to say, 'You are not my
efiual.' then very deliberately un-
theathed his sword, took the point or it
In his hand, turned his head away and
handed it to General Gates. Some his
tories say he handed his sword to a
ubordinate officer, who, in turn, gave
it to general Gates, thus not recognizing
General Gates ns his equal." Kansas
City Journal.
Mme. Sklodowska-Curle, the learn
ed discoverer of radium. Is described as
an attractive woman who dresses with
out the least attention to style. With
fine, regular features, light blue eyes
and a good forehead framed In magni
ficent light, wavy hair, her face Is dis
tinctly pleasing, except for the thin
lips, which give a touch of hardness to
the expression. In figure she is tall and
well built. Mme. Curie lives with her
husband and little daughter In a small
house in a suburb of Paris, but most of
their time seems to be spent at his
laboratory or at the Paris School of
Industrial Physics and Chemistry and
the Superior Normal school at Sevres,
where the husband and wife are res
pectively engaged In teaching.
Mme. Curie, who now is enly 8G years
old. met her husband at the university
in Paris, where the two young students
worked side by side In the chemical
laboratory. When M. Curie, after bril
liant scientific labors, obtained a pro
fessorship which gave him a modest In
come, he married Mile. Sklodowska.

Davenport Is blunt, to the point, and
what he war.ts in life he goes after;
Wlhen he was a boy,. out In Oregon, on
his father's farm, he "ached" to draw.
and draw he did. He used to lie on nis
stomach all day, and make sketches of i
animals on the farm floor. H! father,
perceiving his talent, erected a black
bdard four feet high by fifteen feet
long, covering the side cf a room in the
farm house, and supplying him with
plentyful chalk, let him "go it" to his
heart's content. The first oportunity
came when, his father having secured
him a position on the Portland Orego
nlan, he left the farm at Silverton.
"When I left home that time," said
Davenport, "I was escorted to the sta
tion by a brass band, 'He's t,oo big for
this place,' the neighbors said, so I
went away In a cloud of glory. Well,
I was on the Oregonlan Just one day
It took them only twenty-four hours
to find out and tell me that I coulda't
draw." January Outing1.
