AN IMPORTANT
 SHELTER DEAL
The Standard Smelling and Refining Company and Val Verde Copper Company Effect Arrangements
 of Mutual Benefit.
It is One Which will also Prove of the Greatest Benefit to the Mining h. terests of this County in the
 Operation of Plant for
 Reduction of Ores.

The Journal Miner is reliably in formed that a contract has been enter ed into between the Standard Smelt- ing and Refining company and the Val Verde Copper company by which the two companies will hereafter work in harmony in the reduction of ores of this county, and particularly those of the Big Bug district, the firm of Douglass, Lacey & O., of New York, having financed the venture. The necessary changes in the Val Verde smelling plant will be made i'm mediately and large concentrating z plant will be added by the Douglass, Lacey & Company interests, of suffi- cient capacity to supply the present stack with concentrates and ores to keep it in operation and it now seems beyond any question of doubt that the Big Bug section will have a hot smelting plant before the end of the present year.

BEAUTIES OF SPRUCE MOUNTAINS.
Magnificence of the View Obtained From Its Summit-In the Heart of a
 Great Mining District.

Groom Creek, Ariz, June l.
 Editor Journal Miner: I will try and give you little sketch of Spruce mountain and what can be seen iron the top of it, for know there art many Prescott citizens who have never looked from the top of thi: beautiful mountain and the pleasure of looking from the top and seeing one of the finest and grandest pano- ramas of nature spread before you. l have travelled from the Canadian line to Mexico, have looked from a great many mountain peaks and 1 do not think ever saw a better view than l can get from Spruce mountain, looking towards the north and north east. The old San Francisco relks loom up, not looking over fifteen miles away, while they are at least l60 miles. Towards the east we have the Mud Hole, Lynx creek, Big Bug and Verde valleys and the Black hills, and on a still day one can see the black smoke rolling from the shelter from behind the mountain. This is a very beautiful picture and the ladies and gentlemen should bring their kodaks with them. To the southwest you have grand sight of the Harqua Halas and Hrcuavar mountains, l40 miles away. also d fine view of the Hassayampa river, and you might, with a glass, catch sight of a native Hassayamper just as well as when Bob Groom and the rest of the old timers struck this part of the terri tory, and away to the north and northwest for some so miles We have the broad Lonesome valley, with the railroad running across it and in inn agination you see the trains backing in to side tracks to large tanks of crude oil and the oil wells spouting throughout the valley, and this imagi- nation might some day become a reality and what a God send it would be to the mining men of this rich mining county.
 Spruce mountain is about seven thousand feet high, covered with most beautiful pines, with plenty of water and eight miles from Prescott in a south east direction. Coming by the way of the Monte Christo mine, Home Run, Midnight Test and Frost's old camp to Charley Behm's place, Char ley tells me road has been built re- ducing the walk by half, and Charley also says his latch string is always out and on Sundays he is always will ing to accompany parties to the sum- init and point out objects of interest and as MT. Behm has been twenty years in and around this part of the country he would be a very inter esting gentleman to have along. I also think it is one of the prettiest places for picnics. On the divide be- tween Groom creek and Lynx creek the country is level with nice large pine trees for shade. Last Sunday Judge Hawkins, Major Watts and ladies put in a very enjoyable day picnicking and climbing to the top of Spruce mountain. So in conclusion will say bring out your little ones and give them d breath of good mountain air and let them run wiid for a day

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The constitution does not seem to be trailing along after the fagin the way indicated by democratic politicians according to the recent decision oi the supreme court.
 The telegraph announces the death in Chicago of D. B. Robinson, one ol the best railroad men in the country as well as one of the best men, so far as his relations with ais fellow men are concerned that ever lived. It was largely through the efforts of Mir Robinson in his assistance of Mir Murphy that the s. F. P. X P. rail road was built. Mir. Robinson was president of the road from May 1891 to September 30 1893. He was also general manager of the Atlantic & Pa cific for a considerable period and connected intimately with its manage ment, in other respects, for some time and was true friend of Arizona un- der any and all circumstances. The territory is deeply indebted to him for the interest he took in its develop ment and progress.
 The exclusive dispatch man of the Los Angeles Times evidently taking his cue from a Phenix paper wires the above paperabout the alleged raise in the United Verde Copper company's assessment to S6,0O0,0O0 by the Yava- pal county board of supervisors. As the board of supervisors do not meet as board of equalization until July it Is somewhat astonishing that this information could get out in advance of their meeting. The county asses sor asserts very positively that no such raise has been made by him. That the assessment heretofore has been too low even Mir. Clark himself no doubt realizes, but if it should be raised by the board it will be done fairly and not in any spirit of revenge as intimated. The assessor or the members of the board of equalization do not need to go underneath the sur face of the ground to discover values amounting to S2,OOOCOO or S3,OOO,OOO as this amount can be found in the machinery etc of the smelling plant and on the roast heaps any day in the year. The board would not be doing its duty if it fails to make a raise in the assessed valua- tion of this as well as in other prop critics that have been under assessed for years.

Work Started on the Chicago Group of Hines After Lying Idle for About Sixteen Years and the

On the flat below the Monte Cristo MT. Taylor has town site now plat ted of into lots, and if our mines come out they will be good invest ments, and I will say for the work that has been done on the mines that they are the most promising mining properties of any place in Arizona. they are all well in ore and improving right along. There is not company that is dissatisfied with the different mining properties that are now under bond and being worked in this dis trict.
 The Chicago group of mines is one the latest to start up with Lew Riley as manager. They have lots of stulls and tagging on the ground and are rigging up a whip. The old workings are about l50 feet deep but have not been worked for about sixteen years. Mir. Riley is hustler and he says he will whip the water out of the old shaft and retimber it in forty five days. He also says he can show me tailings that came from the old tail ings of the old mill that will go $40 per ton in gold. They arc cleaning out the old shaft to find the pitch of the ore chute, then they are going to sink a large double compartment working shaft and put machinery on the ground.
 The next property to change hands during last week was Slack and Gard ner's properties, a group of nine claims purchased by Rice and Parker, friends of Dr. Hendryx, of Los An- geles. Dr. Hendryx, of the Empire mine has confidence enough in our district to have his friends get in and buy as this sale was for cash and the owners are old in the mining business and when they do start they are sure to make mines out of them if it is pos sible to do so.
 The old Benjamin also started up this morning. Mir Lorenze lost no time after bonding and getting back from the east to start work. He will use the whim until they strike enough water to put on machinery. They are down 100 feet. I wish Mir Lorenze success. One thing in his favor is he has one of the richest prospsctson the creek.

A few years ago, while Robert
 Stewart was governor of Missouri, a steambostmsn was brought in from the penitentiary as an applicant for a pardon. says the Indianapolis Sentinel. He was a large, powerful fellow, and when the governor looked at him he seemed strangely affected. He scrutinized him long and closely Finally he signed the document that restored the prisoner to liberty. Be- fore he handed it to him he said: You will commit some other crime, and be in the penitentiary again, I fear" The man solemnIy promised he would not. The governor looked doubtful. unused few minutes and said: You will go back on the river and be mate again, I suppose? ?" The man replied that he would. Well, l want you to promise me one thing" resumed the governor. 'T want you to pledge your word that when you are mate again you will never take 6 billet of wood in your hand and drive sick boy out of a bunk to help you load your boat on a stormy night" The steamboat man said he would not, and inquired what the governor meant by asking him such 6 question. The governor replied: Because some day that boy may become a governor, and you may want him to pardon you for crime. One dark, stormy night, many years ago, you stopped your boat on the Mississippi river to take on 6 load of wood. There was a boy on board who was working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis, but he was very sick of fever and was lying in bunk. You had plenty of men to do the work, but you went to that boy with a stick of wood in your hand and drove him with blows and curses out into the wretched night and kept him toiling like a slave until the load was com pleted. I was that boy. Here is your pardon. Never again be guilty of such brutality" The man, cow ering and hiding his face. went out without 6 word.

pect is well known by old timers and several thousand dollars has come out of it, but it was never worked very deep, only pocket mining.
 At the Victor mine Sauers and Yer thelin have richer ore than ever get ting more horn silver while the ore also sparkles with free gold. North of the Victor, at the Midnight Test mine the ledge is getting larger with depth, also richer Mir. Pickrell had assays that went S640.00 in silver but 1 know it was not as rich as Mir. Woods is taking out now. They are down TO feet and have a hoist house built and in fact are getting fixed up very comfortably all around.
 The Empire people are getting a good supply of water from the north fork of Groom creek to keep their mill going day and night. Dr. Hendryx is expected in tonight from Los An geles.
 The Gold Basis company is having their four claims patented. Mir. Ma der has just finished the survey. They have, I think, one of the largest lodges on the creek and carries good gold values. I understand they will start up their mines in the near fu- ture.
 Mir. Slack says because he sold his mines he is not going to leave the creek. Lew Riley has finished his 100 foot contract on the King Kelly mine for T J. Nolan of Denver. They have several tons of first class ore on the dump. The Monte Cristo has commenced to excavate for their mill. The Home Run people are looking for their heavy sinking pump every day. In the meantime they are still drift ing on the 230 foot level. We have sent a petition in with a hundred names to get a postoffice for Groom vile, Groomburg or Groom City, with Mrs. Lew Riley as pOstmistress. The county board of supervisors can not attach us to road district No. l because the county is too poor, SO the inning men are carrying their lumber and machinery by the balloon route.

The other guests furnished rich entertain ment of songs and stories, while all were provided with jests and repartee that flashed back and forth SO rapidly Mrs. Way-down-blue was fairly daz- xled with theIr brilliance.
 Strange to relate, Mrs. Way-down- blues own ideas now came fiocking back to her, and she opened her mouth once to speak, but perceiving that her ideas in ragged, ill-ftting jackets would be received with sur prise by the company, the poor lady remained miserably silent.
 What were you about to say, my neighbour" and Mrs. Cheery-up-heart turned to her hospitably.
 T was thinking" returned Mrs. Wsy-down-blue, humbly; 'I would like to know where you keep all this company of ideas"
 we keep them in idea gardens, or you might call them memory gardens. In these gardens we shelter our ideas carefully, train them to obedience and cherish them as we would cher ish our friends, for they are indeed friends, these good ideas who bring us both riches and happiness"
 But where do you find them fha~a idaaa h~~u%ifrrl and an goodf" asked Mrs. Way-down-blue.
 ''We find them around us, if we only know how to look. But these ideas have odd ways of hiding in un- expected places. They may be cum ningly wrapped up in a flower bud or 6 drop of water. They have been found in a bit of coal or even curling in merry wreaths out of the spout of a tea kettle. Some men have taken great pains to throw nets over the stars to catch ideas, and one learned philosopher found an extraordinary idea in a falling apple"
 'Is there nothing more you can tell me about these ideas7" asked Mrs. Way-dovn-blus. with growing inter est.
 There is one more secret, as ter rible as 1t is beautiful Ideas never come alone; they bring their asso- ciates with them. Cherish one evil, lawless idea, and seven more wicked than itself will surely come with it.

 "On the contrary, cherish one good idea and this idea will call in 6 whole family of relatives, also good and beautiful"
 That is well xnrth-knowing,- unused Mrs. Way-down-blus.
 "Yes, good ideas have a way of calling in more and more, for ideas are like children and always come clasping each others hands. So one idea calls in another until you find yourself surrounded by e shining host which, like angels, attend your waking hour and your dreams and are always with you"

Luther E. Shinn, who came to Prescott in March last, and who pass ed himself of as mining editor of the New York Tribune and also connect ed with the Financial News, turns out to be plain, every day confidence man and swindler. Shinn tried to work his smooth game in Prescott, but as far as known failed. From here he went to Phenix where he is al- legged to have worked of a number of worthless drafts, receiving what their face value called for. About the time that these worthless pieces of paper commenced to return to Phe- nix he shifted his base of operations to Los Angeles where, according to the Herald of that city, he did a wholesale business in eastern drafts. As the financial atmosphere com menced to warm up around him there be suddenly left ostensibly for Bakers field, where he no doubt attempted to work the oil fields. Shinn is smooth, oily and plausible.
 Dr.L. c. Gonzales alsocameup from Phenix this morning and will again locate in Prescott. He has secured offices in the Bashford block and will occupy them just as soon as they are completed. The doctor has host of friends in Prescott, who will welcome his return.

the slow shuffiing tread of age, and sub ordinate duties and pleasures to the capricious whims of second childhood. The difference in these two old men is simply a difference of health. The one old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his food, sleeps soundlv. and keeps his grip on public affairs The other old man IS weak and feeble, his appetite and diges- ton are poor, his sleep is unsound, he has no interest in life or affairs save as his personal comfort may be affected.
 Healthy old age, whether in man or woman, is largely question of sound stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre- serve this condition nature generally needs some assistance, in order to get rid of the accun1ulstions of waste, effete and poisonous substances which tend to clog the body and impede the circu- lation. It IS also needful to keep the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts in healthy condition, in order to properly nourish the body.
 HEALTH IN OLD AGE
 can, therefore, best be enjoyed by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. This medicine cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of diges- ton and nutrition. It enables the per digestion and assimilation of the food upon which physical strength de bends. It cleanses the blood of clog ging and poisonous matter, and by in- creasing the activity of the blood-naking glands, increases the supply of pure, rich blood, which is the final form of nutrition and the life of the whole phys ical man.
