store will be occupied by E. B. Moden with one of the most elegantly fur nished and equipped ice cream par lors and confectionery stores in all Arizona. The beautiful fountain is snow white, trimmed with onyx and mirrors which with the electric fixtures makes handsome sight. The ice cream parlor is carpeted with brus- sels carpet and the walls lined with beautiful mirrors clear around and the chairs and tables will be as fine as can be procured, making room that for coziness and for comfort can not be surpassed. The candies and confections will be manufactured right at home and will always be fresh and pure.
 The upstairs contains 20 rooms with very large hall way in the cen ter. Every one of the entire number of rooms is an outside room with an abundance of sunshine and light. This will make an. ideal lodging house, for which purpose it will be used as soon as completed, and its arrangement, coupled with its central location, will make it a popular place.
 MT. Wilson is to be congratulated for his answering faith in Prescott, his grit and enterprise in doing his part to make Prescott the queen city of the southwest and his ability in doing what he has done in a manner that is credit to himself and the city.

Sheep-Herding.

A gray, slow-moving, dust be-powdered
 wave,
 That on the edges break to scattering ~ spray. Round which my faithful cOllies wheel an
 bark
 To scurry in the laggard feet that stray; A babel of complaining tongues that make The still air weary with their ceaseless fret :; Brown hills akin to those of Galilee, On which the shepherds tend their charges
 yet. The long, hot days, the stark, wind-beaten
 nights; No human presence, human sight or sound :: Grim, silent land of wasted hopes. where
 they
 Who came for gold oft-times have madness
 found; A bleating horror that foregathers speech, Freezing the word that from the lips would
 pass, And sends the herdsman grovelling with his
 sheep, Face down and beast-like on the trampled
 grass. The collies halt, the slow herd sways and
 reels, - Huddled in fright above the low ravine, Where wild with thirst herd unshepherded Beat up and down-with something dark
 between; A narrow circle that they will not cross, A thing that stops the maddest in their
 run A guarding dog too weak to lift his head Who licks a still hand shriveled in the sun. -Sharlot M. Hall, in Land of Sunshine.

Con 0'Keefe's new Property.

Con O'Keefe, the joviaL merchant and mining man, formerly of Jerome but now of Nogales, came in from the south this morning. MT. O'Keefe was one of the original incorporators of the Cobre Grande company, but disposed of his interests last winter realizing snug little fortune from the deal. Since going to Mexico he has been on the lookout for other properties and has succeeded in se- curing a large silver property, on which he has had force of men at work ever since last December He has what is equal to about eighteen American claims and has a quarter of a million dollars worth of ore blocked out
 now in the mines. He has just in corporated company under the laws of Mexico and has his titles all per feet and expects soon to incorporate under the laws of the territory. The property is known as the La Fortuna and is about seventy miles south of Nogales. The lodges are quite large and the ore can be taken out and worked very cheaply. MT. OKeefe expects to return to Phenix tonight.

Prosperity Sold for Cash.

Assmining deal was consummated yesterday through J. c. Forest, as promoter, by which the Prosperity group of mines, including the old U. S. mine, located on the Skull valley side of Sierra Prieta range of noun tains was transferred to New York parties. The parties who sold the property are Bert Grove and W. B. Moore, and the purchase price was 5000, a good sized sum of which was paid in cash. The property is looking extremely we'll for the amount of development work done. The former owners have a shipment of ore at the Prescott Sampling works now to be sampled, making the third ship ment in as many months from the mine. The new owners will com mence development work soon on an extensive scale and will push it just as rapidly as possible, as they believe they have the making of good mine in the property and are anxious to demonstrate it just as soon as possi- ble.
 The locators of this property were wise in thelr selection of a name. Located less than year ago, they shipped between S1,0OO and sl,5OO worth of ore and now receive 5000 for the property, surely pretty fair sample of prosperity for two men. If there is any class of people in Arizona who deserve prosperity it is the miner and prospector.

AND BOOM
 IN BIG BUG DISTRICT
What is going on at the McCabe, Henrietta
 And Other Camps in That Section.
AN OLD-TMER US ALL THE LATEST NEWS OF ONE OF
 THE LTvELIEsT MINING DISTRICTS IN ARIZONA.

McCabe, Ariz., June 22, 1901. (Spe-
 cial correspondence of the Journal
 Miner).-If straws show which way
 the wind blows, there is a big boom
 in store for this mining district. Not
 since those days since the Little
 Jessie, the McCabe and the Glad
 stone began taking out first class ore
 has the McCabe camp seen such ac-
 tivity. It was the Model Mining company that first started the ball a
 rolling several months ago, when it
 bought the McCabe group of mines and increased the working force to 75 employees. And it looks now as if that company would keep the ball rolling at very brisk rate.
 Not satisfied with owning such a rich property as the McCabe, the
 Model Mining company has since pur- chased the Cypress, and last week added the Henrietta to it's list of Ari- zona mines. The sale was made through Mir Johns of your city, gen eral superintendent of the Model, Judge Barnes of Tucson, owner of the Henrietta, receiving S75,0OO cash. Mir. William Daily, the former as- saver and engineer at the Henrietta, has been made superintendent of the mine by the new company, and Mir. George H. Daily, who has been super intendent of the Henrietta ever since his brother-in-law, Judge Barnes, came into possession of the property, has gone to Tucson to act as superin- tendent of the old Yuma mine, up in the Harshaw mountains, 16 miles from Tucson.
 The new management of the Hen- rietta will begin work almost imme- diately on the Gopher side, sinking to a depth of 800 feet on the Silverton claim, which adioins the Gopher properties. A boarding shack and bunk house for the employees of the Henrietta will soon be builtin Gopher Gulch.
 Speaking of the Gopher reminds the writer of a recent visit to that rich mine. which is thought by many of the old experts in the Big Bug dis trict to contain the mother lode of the Henrietta veir. This vein extends all over the Henrietta claims, the Little Treasure and the Gopher, down across the McCabe and Gladstone mines. It looks now as if the pre- diction of these old miners would be proven true. The Gopher manage ment is very silent as towhat they are going to do. but from what has been thus far We learn that sinking has been commenced on the No. 2 shaft, which adjoins the Hen rietta, and considerable rich ore has already been taken out. A car of first class ore was shipped to the Sil yer City smelter today. It is not al ways the richest mines that are most talked about. I recall how SS00O00 was taken out of the Little Jessie and again S400,000 out of the Henrietta, on the Gopher side, and no one in the outside world seemed to know any thing about these rich finds.
 Since the new boom began in the Gopher gulch several new claims have been located and a number of claims have been bonded. On the hills

above the Gopher and Henrietta there are the Mabel and the Daily, and adjoining the end line of the Hen rietta, Miss Harriet Hudson, who is here from Boston, Massachusetts, with the family of Mrs. Gen. Kautz for the summer, has located promising gold prospect called the Owl.
 A fractional claim on the Gopher lode, the Elizabeth, has been leased and bonded by Judge Reese Ling and Ed Wager.
 Judge Ling is hustling right along with the development work on the McCabe Extension and as one glances up and down this bustling little town and sees the smoke pouring out of the stacks at the Kicker, Rebel, Glad stone and McCabe, he realizes that the Big Bug district is going to be very much ''in it in the mining world, if it has not already arrived" ;" as the popular slang phrase expresses it.
 Happening in on that well known Arizona pioneer, Boggs, the other day, I found him working his pet copper mine, the Butternut, with two Mexi- cans and a whim, shipping ore and making it pay. How is that for thrifty enterprisel
 Another new mine is the Mineral Hill over near Huron. This is being developed by the Argyle Mining com pany, composed of Scotch and Eng fish capitalists. Mir. George HI. Gil lespie, Scotch expert and mining engineer, is experimenting the work on the Mineral Hill and hopes to have it on paying basis as copper mine by next year.
 F. s. Futile, assayer for Douglas Lacy & O., of the Rebel mine, is recovering from severe injuries re- ceived in runaway of Supt. Bells horses between McCabe and the Kicker mine.
 Over at the Little Jessie work has been atarted up on a small scale and John $. Jones says that inside of three months he expects the mine will be taken out of litigation and sold to an English company with capitalization of S2.500,00O. This company will take the three claims known as the Little Grace, Ella and Little Jessie, while Jones will con tinue to work some of his other 40 claims in that region.
 Mir. French, manager of the McCabe store and postoffice has announced his intention of closing out his busi- ness and will probably leave the Me Cabe next month for the east.
 Among the many visitors and pro- moters noted here the past week is J. A. Patton, vice president of the For ester's Oil and Investment Go. of Los Angeles, who has been looking over some claims near the Gopher and McCabe properties.
 The small pox scare, which created quite a little excitement here two weeks ago, is practically over. Supt. Wager of the McCabe Extension is the last victim, has been pronounced out of danger and will be out again within ten days.
 Word has been received here from J. c. Rankin, vice president of the Model Mining O., that he will return from Chicago next week. At last account McCabe stock was having lively sale on the Chicago market at s per share.
 And in closing just a word of en- couragement for the editor of the Journal-Miner. Your paper is pick ing up nice little circulation for itself out here. Most of these miners are sensible fellows and they appre- ciate republican paper.
 From an Old-Timer.

A SMALL MINING BOOM.
Lower Lynx Greek Experiencing Boom Along With the Rest of the
 Mining. Districts.

Lower Lynx creek, June 21, (Edi- tor Journal Miner) This part of the country has not been heard from through the columns of the Journal Miner for some time, so here goes for few items.
 George E. Thorne and Miss Lillie Belle Parker were married at the An chor Bar cattle ranch house, the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. E. c. Albertson, on Thursday afternoon in the presence of a few relatives and friends. Judge J. M. W. Moore off ciated. The couple were seconded by Jasper Duncan and Mrs. Albertson, who looked young enough to be the the bride herself, attired in pure white. The parlor was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flow CTS. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous repast awaited them. Am ple justice was done to the good things spread before them and bum per or two of wine drank to the health of the newly married couple, after which the party returned to the par Tor and were entertained for brief half hour with guitar music by Mrs. Albertson.
 About four o'clock the carriages were announced and the young cou- pie started for the train amid show CTS of rice, old slippers, etc. On their return from a short wedding tour they will take up their residence in Prescott. George was born and raised in Prescott, honest and industrious, has been dutiful son and will make a model husband. He is at present trusted employe of the s. F. P. & P. railroad. His wife is an estimable lady, a resent arrival from the east.
 In their pathway through life may their path be strewn with roses and-of course some thorns- little Thornes.
 Mining in this section is looking up somewhat since work began on the White Horse group. Frank B. De- vine and partners have been working on a very promising gold stratta, ,the ore of which is rich Tn free gold.
 Work will soon be started on the copper prospects owned by w. A. Long. The strata is not very large being only about eight inches in thickness but it is rich copper, some of it assaying as high as 65 per cent.
 There is not much doing in a placer mining way on account of lack of water. The rocker and sluice boxes have given way to the dry washer, and miners have taken to the hills and high bars, where some of them are doing very well. Discoveries have lately been made high up, where no one ever dreamed of looking for placer gold.
 Uncle John Fisher, the pioneer of placer mining in this vicinity, and his partners are doing very well dry washing hill bar on the south side of the creek, just west of his creek claim.
 Grass is very good around here and the few cattle on the range are in fine condition.
 The fruit outlook is rather slim, late frosts having killed most of the peaches and apples. There will be some plums and pears and few aP- pies.

Mining Intelligence.

An exchange claims that the Cobre
 Grande nets 5000 per day. The
 United Verde at Jerome turns into Mir. Clarks pocket S24, 900 every night that the sun goes down. The Bisbee mine, which is owned by Phelps, Dodge & O., turns in 1000 daily, and the Clifton mine which belongs to the same company, has its revenue every day of sl0,0O0 net. The King of Arizona, which belongs to Colonel Randolph, is earning enough to put him on the shady side of Easy street with a daily profit of $500. These are only some of the greater mines.
 A.C. Gilmore and partners have about fonr tons of shipping ore on dump of their Zero mine, eight miles south of town. A body of very rich silver ore was recently discovered in the mine. This mine has been a pro ducer of very rich ore in the past.
 Gen. M. E. Collins of this city, who recently purchased eighty acres of land adjacent to the town of Wicken- burg, says he has a letter of recent date from the head of the railroad, in forming him that there is no likeli- hood of the depot at that place being removed. It is true, says Gen. Col lins. that the railroad company has purchased 160 acres of land nearby, but on that tract is to be located a big smelter. By the middle of next month most of the material for its will be on the ground. Wickenburg will surely have boom, as there is ample ore in the vicinity to keep the smelter running for an in definite period. In the meantime, building continues at rapid rate and new firms are opening to do business. Wickenburg will be the great mining attraction during the next year.-En- terprise.

Akers Returns Home.

c. H. Akers, secretary of Arizona, was busy in his office today, wading through the hundreds of letters of his private correspondence that had ac- cumulated during his absence in Washington. To a representative of the Enterprise he said, q will turn the office over on July l. As to the future, I have made no plans, but will take short rest as soon as I go out of office" Mir. Akers says be feels very grateful to the people of Arizona who stood by him, and that he will continue to make Phenix his home and to work for the upbuilding of the territory.
 Mir. Akers has been exceedingly popular, owing to the fact that all have been treated with uniform cour- tesy, and business has always received both prompt and careful attention. No doubt he is the most popular of all the federal appointees in Arizona. MT. Akers looks happy and smiling, apparently harboring. no ill feeling against anyone connected with recent political events.-Enterprise.

UNITED VERDE IN COURT.
Prof. 6. A. TreadweII's Suit on Trial in New York-Alleges a Sort of
 FIim-FIam Game.

A Telegram from New York dated June IS, says: "An action brought by Prof. Geo. A. Treadwell against Senator William A. Clark of Montana, the United Verde Copper company, of which Clark is the president, the directors of the corporation and other defendants to recover l0C shares of stock in the United Verde Copper company, was brought to trial today before Justice Mclean in the supreme court.
 The action is the outcome of an- other action of Prof. Treadwell against the United Verde Copper company in which he asked that Senator Clark and others be restrained from trans ferring the stock of the corporation and from proceeding with their plan of reorganization. The plaintiff IS seeking the recovery of 100 shares ot stock. He claims that he deposited the stock as security with Bennett and his manager, Thomas, and that subsequently,, without any authority from Treadwell, the stock was sold to Burgess, who in turn sold it to Sena- tor Clark, and the allegation is made that the senator was aware of the facts in the case. The professor al leges that the par value of the stock was S10 a share, but that it has re- gently brought $500 share, and he asks that Clark, who is president of the corporation be compelled to ren- der an accounting.
 The answer of the United Verde and it's directors claims that Prof. Treadwell absolutely transferred the stock to Thomas, and that it reached Clark legally. As further defense, it is alleged that the plaintiff Is bar red by the statute of limitations.
 Prof. Treadwell was on the stand today.
