A. Apologize has been over to the
C%hiricahuas the past week inspecting
some prospects he had noticed several
years ago.
Mr.. W. B. Catchings has retired
from the superintendency of the
Humboldt company and is succeeded
by Colonel Noel May, who has an ex-
tended reputation as a mining and
milling man. Col. May has shut down
mill to make some needed repairs.
which will take a week or ten days.
A carload of machinery consisting
of boiler, engines and apparatus for
well drilling has arrived for Col.
Huling the drill is of the kind used
in Pennsylvania for drilling oil wells
and the Colonel will sink a well near
his new mill, and it is expected will
strike a never failing supply Of water,
and it is within the bounds OF the
possibilities that he may reach artes-
ian water.
The LIBERAL is pleased to learn
that the retirement Of w. b. Catch
ings from the active management of
the Humboldt mining company does
not mean that he either parts with
his interest in the property, OF which
he is a large stakeholder, OF that this
portion Of Grant county loses him as a
resident. Mr.. Catchings and his fam
lily will still remain in Shakespeare and
everybody in that mining camp will
be very glad Of the decision as it
would indeed be difficult to an the
niche that their departure to Mem
phis would leave vacant. Mr.. Catch
ings win give all the aid possible to
the new management In the working
Of that great property, the Superior
mine, as well as in the concentrating
works. Still It would not be surpris-
ing II with the data he has gathered
regarding mines and mining since re-
