 < Mohave Miner: The 300 horsepower engine for the Temple Bar Cousoli- dated Mining Company has arrived and will be hauled to the river at once. Two steel cables 1900 feet Tn length were sent to the river to be used in connection with the big ferry boat. The cables are the finest ever brought to Arizona. Another large cable will be used in conveying wood across the river to the big pumping plant. The pumping plant when completed will deliver 1900 miners in ches of water at height Of two hundred feet, a volume sufficient to handle 6000 cubic yards of gravel daily. This plant is the largest affair of the kind in the west.
 Prospector: E. A. Phinney who is interested in the bond on the London and Callen copper mines in the Whetstones, was in town today MT. Phinney states work at the mine is progressing satisfactorily. A ship ment of about 300 sacks of ore will probably be made within the next few. days and will be followed by other shipments from time to time. Seven men are pushing work on the main tunnel which is now in I20 feet. It is expected 90 feet more will reach the ledge for which they are driving. A depth of nearly 300 feet willhaye been attained on the ledge when that ore body is reached and should it main tain the same uniformity of width and value as Is shown on the surface the property would be ranked asneng the big copper producers of the ter EitorY.

recognising him slapped him on tie
back and said "Hello Claude, ain sur

Braninn made no resistance whatever
when Deputy Day took MIN. He pro.
tested entire ignorance of the crime
