Mortuary.
H. A. King died at Murphy’s
camp Wednesday morning of acute
dysentry. Mr. King was seventy
five years old and had been sick
but a short time when the messen
ger of death summoned him hence
to solve the mystery of the great
beyond. The deceased came to
this country from lowa last spring,
and engaged in mining with J. K.
Murphy. He was the father of the
King boys, who are well and favor
ably known in this country. Those
who were acquainted with Mr.
King during his life time speak of
him as an honorable and Christian
gentleman. When one’s allotted
three score years and ten have been
well spent the call of death seems
but the aftermath of faithfulness,
and, extending sympathy to the
bereaved, we trust that Mr. King
is at rest in a land where the little
things of this world do not worry
the spirit. The remains were taken
to Phoenix where they will be pre
pared for shipment to the lowa
home of the deceased.

A BOLD HOLD-UP.
The Driver of an Express Wagon Made to
Stand and Deliver.
Dave Alphin, w r ho had charge of
Ike Ford’s express wagon during
the latter’s absence, was one of the
principals in a thrilling hold-up one
this week night. Dave is noted for
his bravery, but the nature of the
onslaught completely upset him for
the time being. He was leisurely
driving along one of the streets of
the city, on either side of which is
a dense growth of sage brush and
mesquite. No sound, save the rat
tle of his wagon and the hoof beats
of his horse, disturbed the quietude
of the evening. Nolonesome burro
awoke the echoes with his stentor
ian bray, and even the coyotes
seemed to have taken an evening
off. The conditions were such as to
conjure up memories and cause the
mind to contemplate the sublime.
Dave thought of his boyhood days,
and,casting his eyes upon the constel
lation of Venus, Jupiterand Saturn,
wondered where he would be when
the stars were again in conjunction,
twelve hundred years hence. Sud
denly from out the darkness a tall
and silent figure glided like a spirit
into the the tail end of the wagon,
followed by another and another,
less tall hut not less silent and
mysterious. Three in all. Dave’s
heart is brave, but his courage fal
tered as he jerked up the horse
with an excited “Whoa! what am I
up against!” Before he could
make up his mind to surrender his
valuables or to fight for them, a
ripple of laughter broke the still
ness of the night, and, penetrating
the darkness, Dave perceived be
fore him three merry female faces,
and like many a braver spirit sur
rendered unconditionally.
MORRISTOWN A\ATTER.
Happenings in and Around Hot Springs
Junction.
Plenty of rain on the 11th and
lots of wind and cold, mixed with
hazy eyes and red noses the next
day, all caused by some of the boys
taking the artificial heater.
D. D. McDonald of Prescott has
been looking after mining business
in this section lately.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Richards of
Prescott are guests at Hot Springs,
having arrived on the Pith.
Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Humphrey
have been in town this week, pur
chasing supplies for their camp in
the Red Picacho district.
J. P. Burford of Briggs has been
in Phoenix the past week. Mr.
Buford had a load of supplies tak
en out to his camp on the 11th by
Mr. Morris.
Mr Large, wife and two children
and Mr. Duncan arrived at the
Junction on the 12th, enroute to
Buzzards Roost mine in the Whip-
Saw district. The Buzzards Roost
has been closed down several
months on account of too much
water. Mr. Large is the superin
tendent there and it is understood
that work will soon be resumed.
A car of furniture arrived here
this week from Chicago, being bill
ed to the Hot Springs Improve
ment company. The furniture is
of the best and was purchased by
Mr. Colhoun for the new hotel at
the Springs.
Robert Adams of Wickenburg
was a visitor at the Junction last
week.
Ed Nagle of Whitecloud is in
town looking after business and
purchasing camp supplies.
Shovels and Picks.
Trouble At The Keystone.
A contemorary, says the Repub
lican, in describing certain mining
operations which are projected in
the southern part of the territory,
mentions that the enterprise is
headed by Dr. Evans, “General
Manager of the Keystone Copper
and Gold Mining Company.” The
Republican says that Dr. Evans
is no longer manager and is not
seriously connected with the com
pany. The Republican is in error
as to the latter because the doctor
yet remains in possession of the
property, despite the efforts of in
terested parties to gain control. A
gentleman came up from Phoenix
Thursday to take charge of the
property but returned so hurriedly
that we did not learn his name or
version. We imagine, however,
that the inducement offered, while
not necessarily large, was convinc
ing and to the point. The News-
Herald regrets that this property
should become so involved as to
cause its closing down and for the
good of those interested we tru. t
the difficulty will be adjusted,
WHERE ROLLS THE COLORADO.
The Party of Smelter Experts Returns
from an Extended Trip.
Geo. E. Sanders, Geo. B. Upton
and J. Edgar Black returned Tues
day from an extended trip to the
mining districts situated between
the Hassayampa and Colorado
rivers.
The first place visited was the
Bullard mine, where developments
are being carried on by Mr. Bul
lard. He now has about 150,000
tons of copper-gold ore in sight,
and the mine will make an excel
lent producer with a smelter in
close proximity. Mr. Bullard has
volunteered material encourage
ment to have a smelter located at
this point, realizing the independ
ent position in which such a posi
tion such an enterprise would place
him.
The many copper properties in
the Cunningham Pass district were
next on the list. In this district
most of the miners are busy doing
title work. They have some good
showings and the gold values in the
ores making some promising pros
pects. Developments are from ten
to two hundred feet in depth, Dick
Bullard having about 2000 feet of
work done.
At the Blanchard and Osborn
copper camp, twelve miles east of
the Colorado river, preparation has
been made to open up the property
on an extentive scale. They have
114 claims, everyone with a show
ing. They are not handicapped
with a lack of capital, as we under
stand from reliable sources that
Mr. Blanchard has $2,000,000 be
hind him, other than his private
resources.
At the Planet work is being car
ried on by Colorado Springs capi
italists. A great showing is made
here and evidences of a bullion pro
ducer are apparent
It is understood that the Mineral
Hill property will again be opened
up. This is the property from
which in early days so much ore
was shipped to Swansea, England.
The Billy Mack property has been
bonded and will be worked by the
Empire Copper company in con
junction with other property being
developed by them.
The return was made byway of
the Rodgers, Rawhide and Congress
mines. The Rodgers and Rawhide
are not being worked at present on
account of the owners not being
able to agree on methods of opera
tion, or something else.
At Congress the old mill has
been taken out and is being re
placed by new and up-to-date ma
chinery, and by the first of the
year eighty stamps will be drop
ping at this famous camp. This
will double the output and increase
the amount of concentrates some
thirty or thirty-five tons daily,
having values of $l5O to S2OO per
ton. This is about half the piodue
tion of the mine, the cyanide plant
producing a large amount of bul
lion.
The workings are now down 3150
feet in one ore shaft, 1700 and 600
feet being the lesser depths in oth
ers. The ledges have widened to
an extent that in the lower levels
enough ore is in sight to keep
eighty stamps busy for several
years. The most pleasing feature
of this mine is that the ore does
not lose its standard of value as
depth and quantity increases,
which is but another evidence that
Arizona mines no go down.
The property is entirely under
the management of Mr. Staunton,
and he has demonstrated his ability
in too many ways for enumeration.
We remember when, only a couple
of years ago, people w r ere guessing
how soon the Congress would close
down, yet at the present day it is
bigger and better than ever.
Having made a thorough exam
ination of the mineral deposits west
and east of the Hassayampa and
Colorado rivers, the gentlemen will
next visit Prescott and surround
ing districts.
The Socorro Company.
The Socorro Gold company have
been busy this week unloading
timbers for their mill and mine in
the Harqua Hala’s, 65 miles south
west of town. Many of the mill
timbers weighed over a ton each
so it will be seen that the installat
ion of a 30 stamp mill at this dis
tance from the railroad is no
small task, to say nothing of the
ore values necessary to warrant
such an expenditure. The Socorro
people have a good mine and are
ones who say little but saw wood
at an astonishing rate. General
Manager Wither!ay has proven
himself to be the right man in the
right place,
PROBABLE MURDER.
Mysterious Disappearance of Frank Wil
liams Near Tappen’s Ranch.
Messrs. Sanders, Upton and
Black, who returned Tuesday from
a ten days’ trip to the Bill Wil
liams and Colorado river districts,
report a case which would indicate
that Frank Williams, a prospector
and mining man working proper
ties near Tappen’s ranch, had been
murdered. J. B. Tappen, a partner
of the missing man, states that Mr.
Williams had arranged to meet
him at his ranch on a certain day
in the latter part of August last.
After waiting three days he cross
ed the Bill Williams Fork and
went to their mine, which is in
Mohave county. No trace of Mr.
Williams could be found there, and
his provisions, team, wagon and
camp outfit were in possession of a
gang of Mexicans who inhabit that
section. About $l5O in money,
which Mr. Williams was known 1 to
have had in his possession, was al
so missing. The Mexicans said
that Mr. Williams must be dead,
and refused to give his property to
his partner without an order from
his administrator.
Mr. Tappen, on becoming con
vinced that his partner had been
murdered, -went to Kingman, the
county seat of Mohave county, and
endeavored to enlist the aid of the
officers. He states that a deputy
sheriff came as far as Signal, but
on meeting a man there who said
that he had seen Frank Williams
in Prescott a few days before, re
turned to Kingman. The Frank
Williams seen in Prescott is anoth
er man, and is not the one who has
disappeared. The missing man is
not over thirty years old, and has
been here but a few years, coming
from the east. While the Mohave
county officials may not be to
blame, someone certainly is remiss
in their duties in allowing a matter
of this sort to remain undisclosed
for such a length of time. Wo
think that one or two of the terri
torial papers have mentioned Mr.
Williams’ disappearance, but as
yet nothing has been done.
CASA GRANDE’S LUCK.
Dr. Evans to Operate the Erstwhile Fa
mous Jack Rabbit Mine.
We are pleased to learn that Dr.
J. M. Evans, vice president and
general manager of the KeYstone
copper and gold mines, situated in
the Black Rock mining district,
has associated himself with some
Chicago capitalists and purchased
the famous old Jack Rabbit silver
and gold mine, situated twenty
two miles south of Casa Grande,
on which they are just completing
the erection of large and expensive
machinery of the latest type, and
will, we are informed, be ready to
open up that property on a large
scale in about two weeks.
The Jack Rabbit is an old-time
dividend-payer, and has thousands
of tons of ore running from S2O to
SIOO a ton. In the early days be
fore these chloride ores could be
concentrated, or the process of elix
ivation was known, no ores were
ever shipped that did not run
from SIOO to S3OO per ton, all oi
the lower grade ores being left
standing, which is estimated at
several thousand tons and which
will average from S2O to SSO. The
doctor and associates are equipping
this property with the latest im
proved devices to handle these ores
at the lowest possible cost, and are
confident of making the old Jack
Rabbit rank among the large divi
dend-payers in the very near fu
ture.
This company, the doctor in
forms us, has also purchased i
group of eleven copper and goli
claims still further south, in tin
Quijotoa district, which are devel
oping up in a surprising manner
They have a shaft 100 feet in deptl
on the principal ore body, whiel
has already penetrated large bodie
of glance and carbonate ores. Th
surface croppings on these claim
are massive and consists of chrys
talized hematite of iron mixed wit*
copper. In many places thesß
croppings are from 150 to 200 feeß
wide. The doctor feels that theß
are in possession of one of the largß
est copper properties in southerß
Arizona. They are also pushinß
development work on these claiml
We certainly congratulate oil
southern friends on the acquisitif®
of so energetic and enterprising®
capitalist as we know Dr. EvfH
to he, ®
Number 19.
