INSPECTION OF LockUPs.
Secretary Jackson Paid a Number a
Visit

Secretary Jackson, of the state board
OF corrections and charities, returned
yesterday from tour of inspection of
town lock-ups and county jails. At Fores-
ton, Mimi, he found, he says. the best
wooden lookup in the state At Milaca
the town calaboose was In fair shape.
The Kenabec county Jail, an iron struc-
ture, is Of an tnfammable material. The
building is at least so constructed that
1t would keep the prisoners in If 1t should
burn. Mr.: jackson speaks highly, how
ever. of Sheriff Alex Johnson. whom he
says is doing the best he can under the
circumstances The county cannot afford
to build new jail, but a new town lock-
up will be put in during the summer. Some
times during the summer as high as
twelve tramps are guests of the town in
the two cells that serve the dual purpose
of a county jail and town calaboose.

E. c. Murdoch, one of the jurors in the
case Of the state against Hannah Idlett.
alias Mrs. Hannah Park, charged with
shoplifting, yesterday satisfied the court
that he was the victim of a misunder-
standing, and not guilty of contempt.
Then he went out att o'clock with the
other jurors and, after taking one ballot,
returned verdict finding the defendant
not guilty.
Last Thursday Judge Lewis was anxious
TO finish up the case, and ordered the
jury to return at o'clock for a night
session. Everybody was on hand except
Murdoch, and the court and jurors sat
around in the court room for two hours,
and fidgeted while Bailiff Jansen was out
securing the city unsuccessfully to find
the missing juror. Then court adjourned
until III a. m. yesterday, and the judge
went home feeling considerably aggrieved.
Yesterday morning, bright and early,
Murdoch put in an appearance at the
court room, and induced one of the jani-
tors to let him In. For two hours he sat
in solitary state in the jury box wonder
Ing what had become of the court Then
Judge Lewis finally walked in, and Mr..
Murdoch was called on for an explana-
ton.
All unsuspicious of the nearness of a
sentence for contempt the juror explained
that the court had adjourned until 8
o'clock, and he thought that meant a:
m. yesterday, when he was promptly on
hand. On this showing the writ of at
tachment, that had been issued against
him, was discharged.
There are three other indictments
against the Idlett woman, and today f.
L. MCGEE, her attorney, will move that
they be dismissed or that she be re-
leased on her own recognizance.

made history, and still are prosper ous, and cover in their day over g years of activity. Prescott has been distinctively mining community, and the country around it likewise such. In short the town has grown from the influence of a lonely miners cabin and single pan of dirt, to the pretentious-siZe 10 fsce it today, and with no other industrial resources to stimulate it, has been supported ex- clusively on the stability that goes with mines and mining. From a few scattered camps and a handful of men clustered around good look ing prospect, the country adjacent has prospered slowly and surely until today its banner stretches proudly in mineral annals as the em- pire in wealth, influence and popu- l lation of any like eommunity in the southwest, and Tn addition to this must be satG hksGise, that in the United Verde the credit now indis- putably belongs to Yavapai of hay ing the richest mines m all the known world. Unlike that prosper ity in western mining of days gone, the characteristics of a boom have never as yet seized this section; on the other hand it has been a gradual pull of men, muscle and money.
 To area, the mining field around this city, and which the chart pre- sented herewith is inadequate to do justice to, IS something marvellous. It Is one magnificent outburst of na- ture in its mineralogicsl features, and go to any part of the outlying country where the compass may di- rect you, the above conditions will be readily acquiesced in and that, too, by the shIewdest and AeeneSt oi experts or speculstors. The many districts which surround Prescott are
 far greater in the scope of ground they cover than ordinarily attach themselves to the average mining
 region. As an illustration of this,
 take Sycamore creek to the east, and
 then go to Santa Maria in the west,
 and from point to point over 1OC
 miles will be travelled in a direct
 line, and at intervening points the
 same mineral belt is to be seen ] From Prescott to Castle creek, a 70 D mile stretch of ground to the south
 rich in its mineral properties, will likewise be met with. Travelling from the extreme western district tC the eastern one, if every recognized district was only touched, hundred: . of miles would have to be crossed 1T 3 order to visit each.
 From this can be seen the unusua ] conditions to confront one iu hi } search or examination of properties The growth of the mining in- l dustry around Prescott, or the sud - den advancement of the same to tn,
 proportions it now assumes as a gUlC
 producing region, is very peculIa f one, and one also which has attached !, to it that known in the agitation

 The News Mining Company, oper- ating about three miles from Jerome have 1t is said bonded the noted Haskell & Kirwagen ranch for the sum of $40,000 and that big cash payment has been made. The mine lays but two miles from the ranch, and it is the impression that the big spring of water on the ranch IS necessary for the operation of plant which is to be placed on that mining property. Both Messrs. Haskell & Kirwagen have become somewhat noted fruit raisers and the tpurchase of their immense orchard and water right will eventually be supplanted by townsite, it being a desirable location for a second Je- rome
 The foreruuner of what later Is probably to be a big mining trans ! action, took place yesterday. It was 1 the sale of a three-eighths interest of the second north extension of the War Eagle mine, the sellers being Morris Goldwater, G. c. Waddel, A. J. Head and wife, and the pur- | chaser Mrs. Jennie Jackson, all of this city. The price given is $500. This IS another good indication of the mining status of this section and | if one-half of what is told us this summer should witness 8 greater 1 degree of prosperity in sales than the past has ever known. The old loca- tious with work done on them seem to be sought after, which attests still more favorably to our rating in gold mining.
 It is matter of pride for Prescott to point to in its regard of the past toward mining interests to have within its keeping one of the most magnificent and valuable cabinets of ore exclusively produced from the mines of Yavapai county that was ever collected, or that any section
 can legitimately claim as its own. | We refer to the mineral cabinet be- longing to W. N. Kelly, our towns.

The re- suit has been something remarkable and in the short space of five years or since the gold agitation effect lively wiped out the silver cause, the adyakeement of the mining industry in and around Prescott has main tained its position, and notwith- standing the shallow argument of political pesslmists, the country is in better financial standing and has a more stable future in prosperity to face it and encourage the incoming of the capitalist, than could be claimed under any other mining con- dition.

A few years ago the then commis- sioner of immigration for this county, among other duties, submitted a crudely drawn design, to show If for nothing else the extent of the min ing area of YavaPai county, as we'll tc enlighten the stranger on the rel at.ve location of Prescott to such scenes. It IS reproduced again, and outside of the fact of its second ap- pearance, IS given prominence today In view of so much general activity prevailing in the field m sales, de- ve!Opment, and other transactions that go hand in band with a pros porous outlook of the mining in- du.try.
 Aside from the geographical loca- ton of Prescott, situated as it is in the heart Of the mineral vein of NaEapai, the town nevertheless has a history in mining that is distin, t. lvel7 its own and We doubt, if in the history of western mining, a parallel case can be found to compare with its past and present.
