The Croveland.

A crew Of railroad men are
busy laying rails from the main
line OF the {. NJ. & St. Z. rail-
road to the old Groveland mine,
which property has been taken
under option by Corrigan, Nc
Kinney & Company. There is
an old grade, built in 1890 by
the former operators Of the mine,
SO that all the work required is
the laying of rails and ties. AS
soon as the rails are down
machinery will be put upon the
property and the mine cleared OF
water. There is a fair-sized
stope Of ore standing in the old
mine in sight now and the indica-
tions are that more will be devel-
oped. There is a stockpile Of
about 5000 tons on the dock
ready for shipment. The Grove
land is Bessemer ore Of lowiron
contents. Such ores were not in
demand in the days when the
Groveland was opened but have
come into the market within
recent wears.

ore at Baraboo.

Hon G. II. Roberts has been
engaged by chicago parties to
develop an ore find at Barrboo
Wis, that promises to be big
thing in the iron world. Mr..
Roberts was at Baraboo the fore
part Of the week and started a
crew sinking a shaft to cut the
ore deposit found by "A diamond
drill at a depth of 400 feet.
The discovery by the diamond
drill was a surprise, even to the
people who put the hole down.
No such results were dreamed
Of as that drill boring showed
up. Ore has been known to
exist at Baraboo for years but it
was Of an inferior quality and
there was not any great quantity
Of it, all Of the produce being
consumed by the G. & NV rail.
road company in the manufacture
of paint for its own use. Re
Gently this deposit was worked
out. Ii was a blanket deposit
and worked to the fiat clay floor
beneath. La hopes OF finding
more Of this same stuff the
Chicago people interested in the
property put diamond drill on
.the property and went dack 500
feet from the old depooit and put
down a hole to under-cut it.
The drill went through 200 feet
Of clay and sandstone and then
entered a well defined iron for
nation and after traversing this
for a short distance entered a
healthy vein of red slated.
Continuing through the states
the drill entered the ore Whlcn
proved to be high grade besse-
mer The hole was showed on
through the ore deposit and en-
tered the other wall of the vein.
A comparison of the hole with
the Gogebic range rocks shows
that the ore occurs much
in the same manner. The hang.
ing is of broken quartzite very
similar to that on the Gogebic
range.
The promoters of the enter
prise, who. by the way. are iron
men, were so elated that they
determined to put down a shaft
to prove up the find and they set
upon Mr. Roberts as the proper
man to do the work. He was
given q free hand and told 20 go

Mining Company Officials.

The guessing as to the make
up of the official slate Of the min
ing end OF the combine has about
run its course as announcements
are being made 81 the elections
and appointments. The first in
formation came with the election
of officers of the Oliver Mining
company which is eighty per
cent of the mining end of the
combine. Thomas +. Cole
was chosen to succeed Mr.. Oliver
as president of the Oliver Mining
company. DR.. n. p Hulst was
chosen vice president and general
mining engineer OF the company.
Later came the announcement of
the appointment Of James Nc
Naughton to the superlntendency
OF the Menominee range 1t IS
also understood that Mr. Olcott
is to be superintendent OF the
Minnesota mines, embracing the
BVermilion and Mesabi ranges,
and that John McLain will hold
his present position Of superin-
tendent OF the Gogebic mines
although the official announce
ment. Of the latter appointments
has not been made. 1t has
been known for a long time that
Mr.. McNaughton has been con-
sidering whether he would accept
the position rendered him or not,
his services being greatly desired
by the trust for Mr.. McNaughton
is valuable man.
Mr.. Coles position carries
with it the Office Of general man
ager Of the corporation. This is
a deserved compliment to one
whose good work has done so
much for the mining country and
whose judgement on mining mat
ters is acknowledged to be with
out peer.

The Armenia.

This property is being
equipped as fast as possible.
Just now the chief work is the
erection of large shaft house,
fully as large as any in the
Crystal Falls district and that
work alone should be sufficient
index of the opinion of the new
operators, Corrigan, Mckinney
& Company, Of what is under
ground. The shaft house is TO
be seventy feet in height and
modern in every respect except
ing that it will be constructed
of wood instead Of steel.
Underground work is being
pushed TO get the mine opened
for ore shipments about the mid
die of the season. The ore re-
serves are understood TO be look
ing better than they did in the
old mine. the only reason for the
discontinuance of work there
being the soft nature of the ore
which made it an expensive one
to mine.
The st. Paul road has gang
of men at work ballasting up the
track into this property so that
they must expect to carry some
ore out Of there soon.

fidently expected that wall
would be encountered long be-
fore this. There is little water
and no pumps are used under
ground during the sinking We
were informed that the mine
makes but about four barrels Of
water per hour and this is hoisted
in the bucket with the ore.
The ore on the dump looks
good and will average about so
per cent iron. The phosphorus
still keeps down TO the neighbor
hood OF .o22 and there is not a
trace of sulphur in the ore. This
makes it a good silicious ore and
that is what it will be shipped as
The water from the boilers is
supplied by pump away down
in the swamp. The c. NJ. & St.
p. will build a spur into the
property as soon as the Bird
people say they are ready for it.
The company has asked for a
lease Of the property from
Houghton county which corpor-
ton owns the fee and has also
asked that the lease be made
direct to the Bird Iron company
instead of G.. l.. Voos ct. al
The Bird people purchased the
option of Voos & Company, the
latter making very nice thing
out of the deal.

The Bird.

There has been a big change
at this property since last fall,
brought about by the Bird Iron
company, which is prospecting
the property with every indica-
tion for a mine in sight, A fair
sized engine house covers a hoist
ing plant sufficient to operate the
mine for several years and two

the steam. The shaft now rests
at a depth of r25 feet and cross
cutting will be started on two
levels at once as soon as the
station is cut out below. One
level will be cut off at a depth OF
zs feet and the other at I2s.

Recent Forest Fires.

The forest fire. in the vicinity of the
 Senator, mention of which was made in yesterdays issue, was gotten under control by Forest Supervisor Stewart and bis rangers on Friday morning after fight of over twenty hours with it and after it burned over an area of about 150 acres. Scarcely had the task been performed until the fire fighters were summoned to another fire which had broken out on Wolf creek near Clark & Adams old mill. It kept them busy with this fire until after dark, and there an area of about 75 acres was burned over, destroying much of the standing timber. The and Mir. Kelly's family had hard tussel with the flames to save the latter's home from being destroy ed, but succeeded in saving it from the flames. While they have no abso- lute proof of it the officers have very strong suspicion that they are the work of incendiaries. A fire occurred last week near the Senator mine, burning over about seventy-fve acres.

H. J. Allen, as Agent of United Verde Copper Company Alleges Bias and Prejudice on Part of Judge
 to Obtain It.

An action is pending in the dis trict court in which man named McGee appears as plaintiff and the United Verde Copper Company is defendant. The action is one in which the plaintiff seeks to recover S25,00O damages from the defendant for personal injuries sustained by be- ing run over by motor car of the copper company engaged in hauling slag from the shelter to the slag dump, an alleged result of the in juries being the loss of plaintiff $ right arm.
 A few days since a motion was made for change of venue for the trial of the case, the reasons set forth in the motion being the alleged bias and prejudice of the citizens of this county against the company, making it impossible to secure a fair and i'm partial trial. This motion was over ruled by Judge Sloan.
 This morning an affidavit signed by H. J. Allen as agent of said com pany was filed in which an applied tion was made for the trial of the case before some other judge than Judge Sloan, the affiant alleging bias and prejudice on the part of the pre- siding judge of this district against said company. This application was granted, and another judge will be called on to try the case.

Captain King Goes to the Coast.

Captain Clarence King, the well known mining engineer who has been in Prescott for the past few months for the benefit of his health left on this mornings train for Los Angeles, on the advice of his physician in Chi cago with whom he has been in con stant consultation. Captain King had been troubled with whooping cough for about a year and last fall was taken with pneumonia, the con- bination leaving him with distress ing cough, added to which liver trou- ble put in an appearance.
 During his sojourn here his liver trouble and cough have been relieved but heart trouble has manifested it. self and the doctor advised him to try a lower altitude. His return to Pres colt will depend upon the effect of the Los Angeles climate has on him. If the change to a lower altitude seems beneficial he will remain there. If not he will return to Prescott where he still retains the residence of Mrs. Butcher.

Max 0'RelIs Epigrams.

Some epigrams of Max O'Rell on women:
 Women die twice. Their first death occurs the day they cease to be attractive. An old woman who tries to look beautiful is like corpse that tries to look alive.
 A husband who is too jealous is in convenient; one who is not jealous enough humiliating.
 We blame women when we find ourselves the victims of their incon- stancy; we find them charming when we profit by it.
 Love often dies of indigestion; its menu should be frugal.
 When a man loves his home a wife is a fool who does not forgive him all his shortcomings.
 The world is hard on. women. It is not sufficient that she must be es- timable, she must be esteemed; it is not enough for her to be beautiful, she must be amiable; it is not suffi- cient even for her to be virtuous, .she must be known to be so. Her happi- ness and chances in life more depend upon her reputation than her conduct.
 Love is human law, duty is a social one. Love is greater than duty. Happy the man and the woman who can obey both laws.

No Trace of Mccarthy.

The Journal Miner is in receipt of a letter from R. K. Day, partner of John Mccarthy, the lion hunter, ex-fish and game commissioner, from Lost Springs in the Tonto basin country, dated July l, in which he states that no trace what ever has been obtained of the missing man. Mccarthy disappeared from camp on Oak Creek on June 6, and a diligent search has been in progress for him ever since. His wife who re sides at Dudleyville, in Pinal county, is distracted over his disappearance. Mir. Day says he will continue the search just as long as there is any hope of finding some trace of him, but all hopes of finding him alive have been abandoned, as it is now over a month since he disappeared.
 Mccarthy was member of several fraternal societies in which he car ried a goodly sum of insurance and was also insured in a number of old line companies. In case he fails to turn up alive which can scarcely be hoped for now, and unless his remains are found the collection of these will be difficult.

SANTA MARIA
 TRAGEDY.
Coroner's Jury ExOnerates New man for the Killing of Charles SOlong, Self Defense Being Clearly Established.
The Victim of the Tragedy, Heav- fly Armed, Opened Fire With a Double Barreled Shot Gun on Newman.

John Roberts is in town from the Santa Maria country. He conducted the inquest over the remains of Charles Solong, alias the Bay Mig ger" who was killed by Newman on July l, and furnishes the following particulars of the tragedy as develop ed at the inquest, together with the cause of the trouble leading up to it. Solong was formerly the owner of a vicious stallion which had killed a number of colts on the range and which was considered worthless to its owner and menace to stock on the range. About year ago the animal was killed and Solong suspected New man of killing the stallion although few months ago the man who did
 the killing sent word to Solong that
 he had done so and that Solong could
 hold him responsible for the act. The latter remarked at the time that he would shoot the man off his horse the first time he saw him. The man,

AeUINALD0'S CAPTURE.

The prejudice existing against vol
 unteer officers of the army by the regulars has cropped out in connec- tion with Funston's capture of Agui- naldo The Army and Navy Register, which of course represents the regu- lar Army, in its issue of July ? claims that Lieut.. J. D. Taylor of the Twenty-Fourth Infantry and not Gen. Funston, discovered the location of the Filipino general. It says:
 'Taylor was in command of com pany of his regiment at Pantabangan. in the fastnesses of the Caraballo mountains, seventy-five miles from railway. In May, 1900, one Procopio Linsangan was appointed chief of police and gained the confidence of Taylor, to whom he made the propo- sition that a native military band be organized. Procopio was sent to Manila under pass to purchase the necessary musical instruments. and in his absence Taylor learned that the man was in reality Major Marario Al ambria of the insurrectos, and that some of the enemy were in the neigh borhood awaiting a call to arms, they had conveniently hidden. 1t further developed that Procopio Linsangan never went to Manila.
 ''In February last a party of cap tured insurgents was brought to Tay- lor's quarters. They proved to be deserters from Alambria's company. and one of the members, a sergeant was forced to divulge the hiding place of number of Filipino documents. including letters addressed to Filipi- no officials and to Linsangan's wife. . It took good deal of effort in the way of tracing down the insurgents and following up of clews by Taylor before he was able to ascertain that Aguilaldo was at Palanan under the name of Tenrente Abanderado. On February 10 Taylor sent to Funston all the letters of which he was in pos session, together with all valuable in- formation, which made possible the cOnceDtiOn and execution of FUnstOn'S . notable exploit"
 It matters little by whom or how the hiding place of Agui naldo was discovered, the credit for planning the as well as the successful carrying of it into execution belongs to General Funston, and it is one of the most daring and hazardous of the two wars in which the United States has been engaged.

whose name need not be mentioned, after the Fourth of July. On account of the frequent threats that had come to his ears from Solong, Newman had been in the habit recently of carrying a pistol, as Solong always went armed.
 On July Newman was at "Mor- mon Pete's" blacksmith shop when Solong put in an appearance riding a bmro, and with a double barreled shot gun across his knees. On seeing Newman he accused him of saying that while they were both in Prescott recently, he (Newman) had run So- long. While he was talking Solong kept lingering the hammer of his shot gun, when Newman asked him to let it alone, and at the same time de- nied having said what Solong accused him of. The latter deliberately threw his gun over and pointing it at New man fired. Although less than twenty feet away the charge failed to take effect. Newman then pulled his pis- tol from his scabbard and opened fire, while Solong was snapping the hammer of his gun on the other car fridge, which failed to explode. At the fourth shot from Newman's pistol Solong fell from his burro and died almost instantly, the bullet entering his abdomen and lodging inside of him.
 Newman at once went to Justice Roberts, told him what he had done and said he wanted to give himself up. Roberts appointed constable to take charge of him, and immedia- tely started to summon jury to hold an inquest, which was done on July 7, the testimony concerning the kill ing being substantially as above, there being one witness to it from the time Solong rode up to the black smith shop and second one who was attracted by the shooting, who saw the tragic closing of the duel. After hearing the testimony the jury render ed a verdict of justifiable homicide, taking no longer to do so than the verdict could be written and their names signed to 1t.
 Newman has the reputation of be- ing law abiding peaceable good citi- zen, while Solong, as stated, always went armed and had threatened to kill several people in that section and was up before the grand jury a few years ago for a shooting scrape. When searched after his death, in ad- dition to the shot gun which he had, apistol was found in his pocket and a number of shot gun cartridges loaded with buck shot and a rifle cartridge ca two were also found. The cartridge in the gun which failed to explode on was found to contain seven buck shots.

New Herald Magazine.

Last Sunday the Los Angeles Her aid issued its new Sunday magazine, to take the place of the Sunday sup plement. It was really magnificent production, and a credit tothe Herald and its editor. The new magazine contained thirty-two pages of excel lent reading matter and fine illustra- tions. It is gotten up in the best of style, and is model throughout. Some of the features are notable. The Herald's History of Los Angeles City" by Charles Dwight Willard, is great work. and will be widely read. "Touring With Aguinaldo." the hu- morous serial, Winfield Hogaboom, is a great feature also. A great success is predicted for the new magazine.
