MAIL DELIVERY
Prescott Has Be n Examined By a
Government, Official With Re
gard to Extending System.
Some Conditions Which Will Have to
Be Met First By Residents of
the City.
Mr. Erwiu, su,erntendent of the
free mail delivery system on the Pa-
ciflc coast, left this morning for his tne.v looked the real doll, they were
home in San Fru icisco. after having made UP to imitate,
spend a short time in Prescott exam-1 The following s(ecialties were given
ining into the question of extending j y littIe totli which was highly amus
the free deliverv . vstem of this civ. ! 1DP-
The local postal authorities have
been triyug to get the department at
Washington to .end the system of
free delivery in Piescolt and as a re
sult of this request Mr. Erwiu has
been sent here to investigate the matter.
He gave out Hh information before and wel1 rendered,
leaving that a further investigation! Sterling Nott rendered a baritone
would be held within the next couple;80!0 in a T pleasing and effective
of months and if the necessary im-! manner eliciting an encore from the
nrovements had ! .-en made hv that
time the free delivery limits would be
extended and another carrier added.
There is one thing our people should i
not overlook in regard to this and
that is the street grade must be com- i
plied with, the sidewalk put in and '
kept in repair and the houses num-
be red. If these requirements are met.
and it is perfect 'v proper that they '
should lie. the government will do its ;
part. Let those who now live beyond
the present limits and who desire the
benefits of free delivery, get to work
so that when the inspector returns he
will have no hesitancy iu ordering the
extension.
In anticipatiou that this will be
done, there will lie an examination !
held bv the civil service examining
board for the posit ions of carrier and
clerk, in the near future, the exact
dates will be announced soon.
Should the order be made it will
go into effect July L 1903. I
A SPLENDID SUCCESS. i
That Is What the Federal Investment ;
and Trust Company Is Proving to be.
About two mouths ago J. B. Mon
nette, a wide awake and rustling
young business man, succeeded in
completing the organization of the
Federal Investment and Trust com
pany with such tiien as F. E. Biles,
the well known mi'iing man. as presi
dent, E. R. McDowell, secretary,
while Mr. Monuette acts iu the capa
city of general manager. The nature
of the biOJiness transacted bv this
firm is the banter prepaid ::nd
several different classes of install- i
ment certificates. These certificates I
make it an incentive for the holder to !
set aside a certain amount of money
each month which will, in addition
to helping a person save a portion of
their income, put this money so set
aside in position to earn a nice profit
on the investment.
Mr. Monuette has succeeded in con
tracting with the Hartford Life In
surance company, of Hartford. Conn.,
which is one of the oldest and strong
est in the country, to underwrite and
insure the different classes of stock,
so that should a man die before the j
maturity of his stock, it immediately
becomes matured and the face value
of his certificate is paid to his bene
ficiary. The company covers Utah.
Nevada. New Mexico and Arizona
with the privilege of extending their
territory to other states.
Mr. Monuette has recently returned
from a trip to the northern part of
Arizona where he did an immense
business. They have now some eight
or ten traveling agents in the field,
all of whom are doing a fine business.

R. H. Elsey. of San Francisco, an Ex
pert Engineer, in Prescott.
R. H. Elsey. an expert engineer,
who recently arrived in this section
from San Francisco, was a caller at
the Journal-Miner office yesterday
and in course of a conversation with
a Journal-Miner man said that be
had decided to make Prescott his fu
ture home as he believed this countrv
was destined to liecome one of the
greatest uiiuiug sections of the west,
and that he believed the opportuni
ties for one engaged in his line of
business were as great or greater here
than any place he knew of as the fu- j
ture of mining looked very bright
and where there was great activity in i
mining there was bound to be a great
demt.nd for inachinerv and machin
ists. Mr. Elsey said that he had lieen j
actively engaged iu building, plan- i
uiug and operating machinery of:
every kind, and had made a special
study of the great Corliss engines. ,
and believed he as thoroughly under- i
stood this class of machinery as any
man ii the west.
Mr. Elsey is not only a mechanical
engineer but has devoted much time
and study to civil and miuiug engi-
neering aud is therefore a pretty
handy mau in a mining country and
will no doubt do well iu this place,
He has not yet opened a regular office,
but is making his headquarters at the
Sherman House where he can lie seen
or addressed.
THE DOLL SHOP.
Home Talent Furnishes Au Evening
of Excellent Entertainment.
The entertainment given at the!
oera bou-e last evening was certainly
the best ever given by all home talent
in the town. Mrs. Kautz and her two
daughters who were the guiding spir
its iu its production aud under whose
direction aud training it was pre
pared deserve great credit for the
complete success which was achieved.
The Doll Shop is similar iu many
respects to the popular comic opera.
The Toy Makers. except that
children instead of grown persons are
emploved as the dolls, aud there is
no sugiug ao ipaniment to their
1
perf ormi. nces.
Dr. Blaiu was the keeper of the doll
shop and his collection consisted of
the following beautiful creatures.
French doll- -Esther Ross.

The Monk John Shull.
Organ Grinder Manuel Souora.
Flower Girl Edith Martin.
Opera Singer Philip Riblet.
Dutch doll Lila Campbell.

The Prescott orchestra won fresh
laurels for their matchless playing i
last night and elicited an encore from
the audience, something a Prescott
audience seldom accords to an orchea--
At the conclusion of "The Doll
Shop" entertainment a very beautiful
play was produced entitled 'The Way j
to Win Him." This plav was drama-
tized for the occasion, by Miss Fran

story recently published in the
"Smart Set." It is full of amusing
situations and was well played
throughout with the following cast of
characters :

THE ROWE GROUP SOLD.
Monroe Cousolidated Mining Com
pany Secures Rich Property
on Lvnx Creek.
Senator Rowe recently sold to Mr. 1
i Donald C. Monroe his group of eight j
claims on the head of Lvnx creek at j
Walker, and we see by the records
, that Mr. Monroe has transferred it to
the Monroe Cousolidated Mining
Company. This property needs no
i comment as it is well known to be
one of the best group of mines iu the
territory. We understand that under
j the muaagement of Mr. Monroe they
will start immediately extensive de-I
velopmeut. and reductiou works will
be installed within the coming year.
We congratulate the Monroe Cousoli-
dated Mining company on their pur-!
! chase, and under the management of
.Mr. Monroe their success is assured
tor he has been with us tor the past
' two years and has shown himself to be
i competent and attends strictly to
business. Walker is destined to lie a
great miuing camp as there is at the
head of Lynx Creek a very rich min
eral belt aud they will have railroad
facilities within the next year which
will make oierations couqiaratively
easy. The property purchased by Mr.
M onroe is au extension of the cele
brated Mud Hole property owued bv
i the Peuu (lold Miuiug company, and
1 adjoins that property. There are also
a number of other rich properties sur
rounding the property, aud as far as
development work has progre -wd. this
property shows up as well as any in
this rich district.

BIG SALE OF TAILINGS
Crowned King Tailings Sold to New
York Capitalists Work
Will Start Soon.
Controlling Interest in Entire Property
Owned By Company Under Negotia
tions By Same Parties.
The Journal-Miner has repeatedly
spoken of the impetus given to mining
in the Bradshaw mountains by the
building of the railroad there. The
road lacks several miles of lieiug com
pleted to Crowned King which will be
its southern terminus, but the assur
ance that it will lie constructed just
as speedily as possible, has been the
means, not only of encouraging own
ers of claims in that section to prose
cute the work of development with re
newed vigor, but has lieen the means
I of attracting capital from the outside
for investment there.
A deal of considerable magnitude
was consummated there last week, one
which aggregate S75.O0O to SO. 000 and
one which may result in a deal of
much larger magnitude. The Journal
Miner last week mentioned the fact
that Geo. P. Harrington had gone to
Crowned King with a party of New
j York capitalists on mining business,
The visit resulted in the sale of the!
tailings of the Crowned King com-
pany. amounting to some 30.1 HO or
40,000 tons. The parties returned
Saturday evening and left for New
York yesterday to purchase machinery i
for working the tailings and just as j
soon as this cau lie placed on the
ground work will be commenced. The
tailings are reported to be very rich
through the expense of the working
them will lie considerable, and expeu
sive machinery will lie required also
There is an unofficial rumor current I
in connection with this deal that
Messrs. Sheckels and Harrington have
also given the same (wrties an option
on their interests in the Crowned
King property. This would give the
purchasers a cont rol of this valuable
mine and would result in its lieing
started up again.

lips io Dougli-s, Lacey
Co., Stockholders-
The Journal -Miner acknowledges
the receipt of the printed report of
the annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of Douglas, Lacey Co., which
was held in New York city recently.
The report is full and complete report
ing every word that was uttered by the
numerous speakers, giriug reports
from a great number of properties
under the managemeut of the firm.
There were over 3B0 stockholders
j present and their report make a priut
' ed book of nearly magazine size
thirty pages closely priuted.
Amoug the reports was one from
Capt. L. D. Phillips of Prescott. who
has charge of a uumlier of properties
belonging to the company in An-
zoua. The report is quite exhaustive,
being a review of the work done on
the several properties and the showing
made by them, but a portlou of his
report on the El Capitan will be in
teresting to the Jourual-Miner read
ers, as it is right here at home and
the truth of his statements cau be
easily verified. The captain said in
part :
"There are a great many ieople here
whu have asked me about the El Cap
itau. 1 always feel, aud my wife
says. 'El Capitau is all right.' 1 never
shall get tired of talking about El
Capitau. aud 1 hoe that by the next
annual meetiug of the
companies
represented by Douh.s. Lacey A Co
that I shall bs here with a report aqoal
to that presented by Major Kusseil.
and be made happy by speaking as j
loudly aud n fully of the properties
in Arizona as he has of those in Cali
fornia. "Captain Phillips theu described
the location and surroundings of the
El Capitau property. He alluded to
the fact that they were in conqia
ratively close proximity to the great
United Verde, owued by Senator
Clark of Montana, which has lieen
immensely profitable. and said:
'Now we are not positive that we are
on the sani" mineralized dyke, but
we foel pretty sure of it. The vein is
traceable through the Black range in
our direction. I have lieen over that
property, aud I find exactly the same,
surface formatiou and the same geo !
logical construction and conditions
that mark El Capitau. aud when we
recollect and I pledge yon my word
it is a fact there is no month that
that proerty does not pay Mr. Clark
from 1880,000 to 1. .100.000, we can see ;
the possibilities for El Capitau. The
United Vi"-de propeity was owned by
five different outfits lief ore the ores
were reached that makes it what it is
today. Parties sold to one another
until Mr. Clark succeeded in purchas
ing it and developing it to its pres
ent profitable condition. Since thaf
1 1 me there has lieen no explanations
necessary.
Now the El Capital! is in tin- same
formatiou and on a line with
same vein, but that would not count
for much unless there were other
si'.'iis that would lead one io
iM-lieve we are over a body of ore that
will be sat isfactory.
We have sunk a shaft of about :t00
feet, and the work has lieen well
done. At two hundred feet below
the surface we have driven, what we
call in mining, a 'cross cut iu order
to develop, if possible, any strata of
ore that might iy us In haul to the
mill, and in the crosscut! iug we have
driven 12.1 feet lioth ways. We have
not vet encountered any walling, but
we are in a vein of matter such as is
usually found in veins of that class.
It is mineralized vein matter. This
fact, and the fact of its closeness to
the United Verde, would not be suffi
cient to tie one to El Capital). Init I
want to tell you that out of that
cross cut. which is extended across
the dyke, which will run something
like !8 feet. I think, along a pretty
fair sized stratum which showed
pretty fair value, every pound of ma
terial out of that work, without any
exception whatever, carried a per
centage of odfBK There is from a
half ol uie per cent, to as high as 22
ler ci ui of copper in some of
strata we have struck. Now we
the
ex"
xct, and I feel sure, there is not a
shadow of doubt iu my mind of the
final profitable outcome of the El
Capitau property and I would not
say it if I believed there was. I be
lieve we are over one of the- greatest
ore bodies ol the western country in
that propetry. We are going to de
velop it, and when we do I am of the
opinion that should everything else
that Douglas. Lacey A Co. represent
prove a lose, El Capitaii will pay
them out.
"As I said, we are down there 300
feet. The rock is very bard, the
work of the development of the prop
etry to the present time has been
done by hand, which is a slow pro
cess where we have hard material to
work through
It has been
decided,
after discussing the matter with the
firm that 'puts up' for us-and praise
the Lord we uever have any trouble
about out bills out there that we
i would equip thai property with mod-
j ern appliances for sinking and use air
drills in drilling the holes for the
blasting, instead of doing it by band.
and that we put a
Diamond
Drill on
the projierty at once, which will be a
large saving of epxeuse. " !
Captain Phillips, again referring to!
the dyke, said: "It is a great big
dyke. It is over 180 feet on the sur-
face aud may be wider below, but cer-
tainlv
it is wide enough to go down
UNO feet at least with a Diamond
Drill, aud we can undoubtedly make
from 1.1 to 'JO feet in IS hours, that
will be 30 to 40 feet iu 21 hours. We
can go down very fast with that and
take up the core all the way. bring
it up in the tube and assay it every
day. We will then know just what
we cau get every day. and when we
do that there won't lie any hesitancy
in the minds of the stockholders
about putting up the money to go
ahead. There are positively no

An ox is cajiable of such a philosophy

It is further true that, your life is

question, aud asks what is written in

then demands that he shall live up to
his Breed. Here the lawyer raises a
piestion with the seeming ml 0B( ion
of disputing: perhaps iutemiinc to
say men differ as to the meaning of
the term neighbor.
Christ uses the former plan to barn
what to require. lb does this quite
adroitly. Doe- no! say I hold that
this or that man is your neighbor but .

Both the Priest who first came and
the Levite who followed might have
lieen expected to render assistance.

Hoe. eiecting that from some
source help would come, ami it did
come. The good Samaritan, a fitting
emblem of love. cone. saw. helped
and provided for further help in case
of further necessity. So while rule
and law always ask. what must I do?
Love always impure- what may I do?
Love eks M boon l.iries but the ut-
most, asks for no limits but the most
extreme, and only stops at the end of
opportunity and ability.
How like the Christ who seeing
our extremity. when there was
none to help, when the Jews could not
only refuse to help but would shut up
the Apostle the kingdom of (tod to us poor gen
ln 'h1 goods tiles, bore our sins, propitiated for
our transgressions and by his stripes
we are healed.
After this simple but striking story
Christ again asked, what thinkest
thou, who was his neighbor? The
ready answer came: "The one who
showed mercy." and theu Christ an--u.red.
"Go thou and do likewise."
OfaMTTC Christ said nothing about
holding io their theory of perfect love
of which we hear so much in some re
ligious meetings. He did not require
him to tell either his faith or experi
ence at every opportunity, for, alas,
so often prof. .on and possession are
so widely different : imt he only said,
"Go thou and do likewise." Let ns
do thus, that the world may know
that we have been w ith Jesiisand that,
seeing our good works, they may lie
constrained to glorify Our Father,
Who is in Heaven."
Rev. E. H. Taft. at the Baptist

A NEW EN TEHI'KISE.
Wholesale Commission House
posed to be Established.
I'ro-
lu conversation with H. A. Jewell,
of the firm of Jewell A' Co.. of Los
Angeles, a Journal Miner n an learned
that that gentleeaen was contemplat
ing a business move which will Ik- of
peel advantage to the people of Pre
cott iu point of enabling them to pro
cure fruit, vegetable-. xvultry. eggs,
etc., at quite a saving over what it
now costs them. Mr. Jewell's plan i-
to incorporate i large room lories firm
to be compo-e.l parth of local wople
and partly of their firm in Los Auge-
les and the cmidui tim,' of a large e
elusive wholesale commission business
in the lines above referred to. The
advantages of this firm would be that
they could be supplied from the Cali
fornia as well as the local market in
large quantities, and further that the
markets wcould be watched daily by
the Los Angeles end of the firm and
when good opportunities offered, to
buy at a low figure and in large quan
tities. Shipments could then be made
in car load lots. It would be Mr.
Jewell's idea to put in a large storage
plant where these goods could be kept
fresh and in good shape for some time
in the summer and they could then
be distributed to the surrounding
miuiug camps and towns. This plan
would enable the local merchant to
purchase his goods in these lines right
here at home, in just such quantities
as he desired, and would prevent loss
from overstock. It would also enable
him to buy at a less figure conse
quently enabling him to sell at a less
figure aud the result of this would be
that much more ol this kind of goods
would lie used than at present, when
each merchant must purchase his own
stock and have it expressed to him at
great expense.
It was also learned that an effort
would be made to have our local mer
chants become interested in the new
enterprise so that they would feel an
interest in its welfare and at the same
time reap a double benefit from it.
The fact that there is no wholesale
house iu this line in Prescott at this
time, the firm of Walter Hill having
recently failed in Phenix and Los An
geles, ami their branch house having
been removed from this city, it looks
like an enterprise of this kind ought
to be made a success.
MR. BATES VISIT.
Will Remain in Prescott and Again
Engage iu Mining in This Section.
Wells H. Bates arrived in Prescott
yesterday from the east on a busi
ness trip accompanied by his wife
and their daughter Miss Grace Bates.
Mr. Bates has been instrumental in
securing a large amount of capital for
investment in this section in various
enterprises which he has promoted.
He was the promoter of the Walnut
Grove Water storage enterprise which
was carried to a successful culmina
tion, so far as the water storage prob
lem was" concerned. In fact its ;.-uc-ceess.
in thisrespect. resulted in ;its
own destruction.
Mr. states had another large storage
and irrigation enterprise under -way
at Bill Williams Fork when the gov
ernment stepped in and claimed the
grouud for the same purpose when
there was nothing left for him to do
but to step dowu and out, although
he had been at a great expense in
making surveys and getting things in
shape.
Mr. Bates during all these years has
been interested in miuing in this sec
tion and proposes to develop some
rich properties owned by him in
Weaver district. He is greatly im
pressed with the progress made in
building up a new and larger Prescott
since the big fire of 1900 and expresses
great faith for the future of the city.
Mr. Bates expects to spend a large
portion of bis time here in the fnture,
.vhile bis family will reside in Los
Angeles or Pasadena
RIGHT KIND OF CITIZENS.
The Journal -Miner acknowledges a
very pleasant call from G. R. Blasin
game. who with his family arrived in
Prescott a few weeks ago from north
ern Arkansas and will make this their
future home. Mr. Blasingame has
purchased three lots on the corner of
Alarcon and Carleton streets and has
erected a comfortable home for him
self and family. Being a man of good
judgment he has decided to build two
more co: tages on his other two lots
for renfal purposes. This is the kind
of citizen- the Journal-Miner wel
comes to our midst, men who will go
to work and help build np the city in
a good substantial manner and not sit
down and wonder if the town is going
io last, and be afraid that if they in
vest a fete dollars they may regret it.
There are a few people who have been
predicting ruin aud disaster to Pres
cott for the past twenty-five years
while Prescott has gone right along
improving with every year and the
w heels of progress have sent these same
"prophets" to a seat away back, and
now all you hear of them is when one
of them occasionally bemourns the
fact that he did not have the foresight
to take advuatage of some opportun
ity that bad been offered him in the
past but which he was afraid to take
hold of for fear the city would not
hold out, or that values would not
keep up. The fact is there there has
never been a backward step in the
business of this city, but on the other
hand every year has found the city in
lietter -h.o than the year before in
every sense of the word. The Journal
Miuer lielieves that the past is only
au iutlex of the future, and that those
who pin their faith to Prescott will
never have occasion to regret it.
A TRAIN LOAD OF SHEEP.
I'a.-sed Through Prescott Yesterday
Evening for Peoria.
A rather unusual freight traiu
passed through Prescott about six
o'clock yesterday evening bound for
Peoria. Arizona. This train was com
IMised of 18 of the largest size double
deck sheep cars, each car containing
about 2.10 sheep or nearly 5000 sheep
in the traiu. The traiu was being
propelled by three large mountain en
gines. Auother peculiar thing about
the cargo composing this train was
the fact that the sheep were from New
Mexico, having been shipped from
Shawanee, near Grant. New Mexico.
This may seem almost like shipping
coal to Newcastle to ship sheep from
New Mexico to Arizoua for pasture,
but the facts are that the pasture in
the Salt river valley this year is an
surpassed and several hundred thou
sand Ileal of sheep are lieing shipped
into that valley for pa-ture aud shear
ing, anil the fame of that section has
leached even beyond our own borders.

PRISON REMOVAL
Legislative Talk of Removing Ari
zona's Penal Institution from
Yuma to Benson.
The Reform School Building to Be Used
as Means of Accomplishing
This Object.
The story of Friday's legislative
day as briefly told by the Phenix Re
publican is to the effect that nothing
practically was done, but it is gener
ally argeed by members that the next
week will be a lively period. Some
thing will lie done one way or the
other with the eight hour bill and the
woman surtfage bill. But the instru
ment which will particularly stir up
the animals will lie a bill for the re
moval of the territorial prison to Ben
sou, and its installation there in the
building erected for a reform school.
The building like a former one
built under appropriation of a demo
cratic legislature has proven to be a
"white elephant" ou the hands of the
territory, as there uever has been any
need for such a building. It is now
disclosed that there was a meeting of
a large number of the members of the
assembly on Thursday night at which
it was agreed to move the territorial
prison from Yuma to Benson. It is
said that most of the uorthern mem
bers have pledged themselves to the
suppo t of the bill. There are reasons
why the Maricopa members would
support it and tnere is said to be an
argument why the members from Gra
ham and Gila shall fall in line. A
member of the assembly said yester
day that there was no earthly doubt
that the bill would be passed by that
body. He added that be could not see
how it would be defeated in the coun
cil. The ffeom-anl ical argument in
favor of it is that with the completion
of the Phenix and Eastern road Ben
son will be the most easily accessible
point iu the territory. It is under
stood that the bill for the establish
ment of a territorial poor farm at
Solomonville will be sacrificed to the
prison removal bill. Other matters
before the legislature are also hinged
upon this one.
Both branches adjourned before
noon on Friday until next Tuesday
morning at 11 o'clock. The most in
teresting matter was the presentation
of a memorial from the boards of su
pervisors of Pima and Santa Cruz
counties requesting the legislature to
memorialize congress asking au appro
priation of 117,000 for the payment of
the so called Pima county bonds. The
arirnmetit presented to eoneress in
this behalf is that but for the action
of that body six years ago that debt
would never have been saddled upon
the counties. A memorial embody
ing these argumeus was adopted in
both houses.
In the house Woolf introduced a
bill to encourge the establishment of
irrigation works by exempting them
from taxation. One or two other
bills of minor importance were intro
duced which constituted the day's
work of the legislators.
AFTERNOON 0 MUSIC.
Monday Club Entertains Members and
Large Number of Guests With
Musicale.
Today was musical day and guests
day for the Monday club. The usual
day of meeting is on Monday but as
one of the mem tiers bad an important
engagement yesterday, iu order to
accommodate her the club very con
siderately changed the date of meet
ing until this afternoon.
The meeting was held iu the large
ball of the Odd Fellows building and
as each member was permitted to in
vite five friends as her guests, nearly
every lady iu Prescott received au in
vitation to be present, and few there
were who received invitations who
did not attend. The leaders of the
day were Mrs. F. W. Herndon and
Mrs. Anna Levy, and they had very
beautifully printed programmes to
serve the dual purpose of informing
the memliers and guests of the good
things in store for them duriug the
afternoon, as well as souvenirs of the
occasion.
The colors of the club are gold and
silver, aud the programmes were
printed on heavy white ledger paper.
in letters of gold. The title page!
contained the words "Au Atteruoou
of Music" with the date of Ihe meet i
ing and the names of the leaders.
The second page contained the names
of the authors of the music rendered,
during the day, and the others were
devoted to the uumbers ou the pro
gramme. Mrs. B. D. Billiughurst. president of
the club, presided at the meeting!
during the transaction of the regular!
routine business after which it was '
turned over to the leaders of the day. (
Mrs. Levy was uuable to be pres- I
ent and take part iu the lay's pro-
ceediugs ou account of receiving word
this moruiug of the death of her
father. She was down on the i.ro-
...
gramme for a paper on music and had !
it prepared ready for delivery and it
was read by Mrs. D. M. F. Weeks.
Mrs. Herndon. the other leader, read
a paper, also ou music.
Mrs. H. B. Long also gave a talk on
Ethelbert Nevin, one of the musical
authors whose works were reviewed
during the afternoon.
Mrs. Long also recited Nevin's
" 'Twas April" to a piano accompani
ment by Mrs. W. A. Cline.
The following was the musical pro
gramme rendered.

On account of the failure of Mrs.
Levy to be present, who had the obli
gato part of this beautiful selection,
Mrs. H. D. Ross was substituted for it
at almost a moment's notice and sus
tained the part admirably, demon
strating the possibilities of a vocalist
who thoroughly understands the art
of music, the piece being a very diffi
cult one.

The numbers were very beautifully
rendered, and elicited liberal ap
plause from all present and the after
noon was voted the banner day for
the club.
MINING INTELLIGENCE.
N. C. Bonnevie, a well known min
ing engineer of Denver, Colorado, has
been in Prescott for the past two or
three days, on business connected
with his line of work- Mr. Bonnevie
is the senior member of the firm of
Bonnevie & Lee. consulting engineers,
of Denver. The special work which
brought Mr. Bonnevie to this section
was an order to prepare plans and
specifications for the erection of a
100-ton mill at the Crown Point mine.
He was unable to give the Journal
Miner any definite information con
cerning the proposed plant, as he bad
not visited the property yet and could
not tell what the needs would be, fur
ther than he had rcecived an order to
come to Arizona and examine the
property and see what would be
; needed. Since coming here be has
al.-o been in consultation with other
mine owners regarding the erection of
mills. This is his first visit to this
section but he is very favorably im
pressed with the mining possibilities
and predicts a wonderful future for
Yavapai county.
At the United Verde mines things
are taking on their old time busy ap
pearance. Last Friday the third fur
nace was blown in, and they now have
the same number at work as before
the general shut down. Both furnaces
that have been forcing gas into the
fire h .ve been shut .off, which must
be a -tire indication that the fire in
the mine is out, and that a large num
ber of miners will soon be pnt at
work. During the past ten days extra
trains have been run on the railroad,
bringing in coke and coal, and taking
out the product. Jerome News.
Mark Murphy, who has been super
intendent of the Sultan group of
mines, owned by the Oold Link Min
ing company of Chicago, came np
from that property yesterday. Mr.
Murphy has ,-evered his connection
with the company but says the prop
erty owned by it is a splendid one.
He says that fully 20,000 tons of good
ore is blocked out in the mines and
1 that the company will shortly erect p
mill to work this ore. The mines are
located in the Santa Maria district.
He says the district is quite active
generally.
Merchants Mining compnay's stock
took a jump today to $1 per share and
judging from present indications we
predict it will take several jumps be
fore it stops. A crew of carpenters
were sent out from Prescott Wednes
day to erect buildings and ore bins
and the Samuel Hill Hardware com
pany have men on the ground build
ing two three thousand gallon galvan
ized iron water tanks. The railroad
company has completed their estimate
of the cost of building a new side
track for the mine, and the grading
will be started within a few days.
With the amount of ore blocked out
in the mine, the transportation and
smelting facilities so close at band
and the conservative management,
this enterprise is undoubtedly an as
sured success.
F. E. Howe came up yesterday from
Weaver, where he is interested in a
mining property, with T. M. Earn-
hart. of Kirkland, and which they
' have been working for some time.
They have been running a drift re
cently at the 175 foot level in which
tbey have encountered eight feat of
ore which gives an assay value of $12
per ton. They have negotiations
(lending for the sale of the property
at a good round price, and if it fails
of consummation, they will at once
commence the ecrection of a mill on
the property.
The force of men at the smelter is
being graudally increased with indica
tions that theU. V. will be employing
more meu within the next thirty days
than at any time heretofore. The
five, six and seven hundred foot levels
are being opened up from the new
shaft : two of the small furnaces are
in operation and a third ready to be
blown in. which is to be followed
soon, it is understood, by a fourth
of the same size. The large five bun-
dred ton furnace will require at least
"
another week to complete it. There
will be no dearth of men whs they
are required; every train coming in
brings men seeking employent. Many
of those coming in are men laid off
wheu the mine and selter were shut
down. Jerome Reporter.
FOUK FATALITIES IN WRECK.
Cleveland, Ohio. Feb. 24. The
number of fatalities as the result of
au accident on the Big Four road at
Berea last night is now definitely
known to have been four. The deaths
occurred in mail cars which were con
sumed by fire together with o large
quantity of mail.
Pittsburg. Pa.. Feb. 23. An explo-
-don of dynamite today at Rock wood,
south of here this morning killed four
men and injured a number of others.
A crew of laborers, working on the
Baltimore aud Ohio railroad were
thawing out the explosive when the
explosion occurred. Three of the
bodies were blown into Castleman
river.
