A Missing Han.

Friends of Ed Zieger are becoming very uneasy over his disappearance. He was in Prescott two weeks ago on business and received quite serious injury to his head. which seemed to daze him, and he was taken charge of by the sheriff's officers and placed in the jailor's room where he received medical attention. After a couple of days treatment he seemed to have re covered and announced his intention of returning to his home at Martinez. Later he said he would wait an other day before going home. Later in the evening he went over town and failed to return but nothing was thought of it as the officers supposed that he had changed his mind again, and that he had concluded to go home. It was learned a day or two later that he had not arrived at his home and a vigorous search has been made for him ever since but without finding any trace of him. Mir. Zeiger is the proprietor of a hotel and store at Congress Junction.

SATURDAY NIGHTS ASCENSION.
Miss Hazel Reyes Closing Aerial Flight Perfect Success and Without
 Any Mishap.

Despite the injuries received on Friday evening in alighting and con trary to the advice of friends, Miss Hazel Reyes insisted on fulfilling her engagement with the Fourth of July committee on Saturday evening by making her third ascent into aerial space. While during the former ascents there was but little wind blowing there seemed to be less on Saturday evening. Miss Reyes inflated her balloon somewhat more than on former occasions, and a prettier or more successful trip could not be imagined than she made on Saturday evening. In the absence of wind the balloon went more di- rectly upwards until a height of about 4000 feet was attained, its mo- tion being eastward as on former occasions. but its flight less rapid. When near the eastern limits of the town and when at an altitude of about 1000 feet. she cut her para chute loose and tk<descent commence ed slowly and gracefully, her course being northward of the course taken on Thursday and Friday evenings.
 After being released of the. weight of its human freight, the balloon turn oI o ,,o.I air, head downward, until the hot air escaped, then it commenced a series of tumblings similar to a tumbler pigeon, all the while keeping close to the aeronaut, and finally rolled itself up into ball and fell to earth a, faw hundred yards this side of whefe Miss Reyes came down, both of tlsem reaching the earth about the same time. The balloon fell in the flat east of Cemetery gulch, near the Whipple road, while the parachute and it's precious freight lit in the open flat just southwest of the Whip pie reservoir, where there were neither rocks nor brush, and Miss Reyes es- capped without any inconvenience or pain even to her sprained ankles.
 On her return to town a sort of open air reception was held by her in front ofSHotel Burke, and Col. J.. F. Wilson. delivered a short address thanking her for her services in con- nection with the celebration and the very interesting part she took in it.
 Miss Reyes has announced her in- tention of taking up her permanent residence in Prescott, and will offer her services at any time they may be desired in her special line, and cer- tainly as a successful aeronaut she stands at the head of the list.

Iowa Company's Oil Well.

As a great many people in Prescott own stock in the Iowa Oil company the information contained in letter to the editor of the Journal Miner received this morning from Louis Decker, secretary of the company, will be of interest. In a letter received a few days ago Mir. Decker stated that he had had considerable trouble with water which had caused considerable delay in getting the pump at work.
 In his letter received this morning Mir. Decker states that the difficulties wirh the water had been overcome and the well tested with the pump producing 50 barrels in twelve hours or 100 barrels per day, the oil being If gravity, or the very best fuel oil produced. A sample of the oil in tended for the Journal Miner was ac- cidentally spilled, but he promised to procure another and forward by ex- press in day or two.
 The company is now putting in a pipe line and loading station, but as the railroad runs through their land this will be a small job. He says they will go to work at once sinking one or two more wells, it being the in. tention to continue the work until ten wells are put down.
 The proclamation throwing the Wichita, Kiowa and Comanche reser. vations, in Indian territory open for settlement has been signed.

Modern CompanY's CircuIar Letter.

F. w. Howard, secretary and treas urer of the Modern Copper Mining Company, will leave tomorrow for Texas for the sale of stock of the above company for development pur- poses. During his visit to Prescott quite number of people made pur- chases of the stock on the showing made by the company. The stock was originally placed on the market at 10 cents per share, and it has found a ready sale at this price, but recent developments have been such as to warrant a raise in the price to 20 cents. There has been a good show ing of mineral in the property from the surface, and it has been getting larger in quantity and better in qual ity as depth has been made until they have struck a grade of ore that will bear shipment at profit. A feature of this company which could be fol- lowed by other mining companies with satisfaction to their stockholders is the issuing of monthly letter to all stockholders giving them an idea of what the company is doing and the results being obtained. Circular letter, No. ?, dated July 1, has just been issued, announcing the re-elec- ton of the same officers for the en- suing year that have served in the past, since the company was incorpor- ated. The letter states that it is the opinion of the directors that very soon sufficient ore can be marketed to pay all expenses of developing and some surplus may be obtained for the pur- chase of necessary machinery, and when this point is reached no more stock will be sold. Work is being pushed with all diligence, and with our next letter we hope to give news that will be highly welcomed. More than sufficient funds are available from sale of stock at present, and we think it will not be necessary to make any particular effort to place stock ! from now on"

OFFERED AT
 BED ROCK
The Sonora Timing and Milling Company Offers Investors an Opportunity to Secure q Por- tion of it's Stock at Bolton Prices.
A Promising Property, Partially Developed and Which its Pro- nfoter Con O'Keefe is Confident Will Soon Become a Dividend Payer.

An advertisement appears in this issue of the Sonora Mining and Mill ing company, mention of which has previously been made in these col umns. This is the company recently organized by Con O'Keefe a former well known citizen of this county, but now resident of Nogales. Mir. O'Keefe was formerly connected with the Cobre Grande company, but sold out his interests in that property un- der the compromise of last December. realizing a handsome profit on his investment as well as a snug little for tune.
 No sooner had he disposed of his interests in the above property until be started in search of a second Cobre Grande, but even in Mexico Cobre Grande mines are Scarce. Instead of a Cobre Graude copper mine he ran across an old silver mine which had been worked in a crude way years ago and which had yielded large amounts of high grade silver ore. After thorough investigation of the property he purchased it and imme- diately incorporated under the laws of Mexico and later incorporated un- der the laws of Arizona, transferring title to the later company. The com pany owns the property ia#ee simple and since acquiring it last December MT. O'Keefe has had from eighteen to twenty men at work on it, the showing made by the development work being of very highly satisfac- tory character. ---....
 It is for the purpose of prosecuting this development work further and also for the purpose of purchasing material to work the ore that a small block of stock has been offered for sale at the bed rock price of twenty five cents per share. From present indications it will not be long before the stock will find ready sale at Sl % and 1t is not outside the range of possibilities that it will go to $500 or $500. The history of the CObre Grande, was that the first stock was offered at S250 per share and the latest quotations, even with all of the litigation against it was S51.O0 per kshare.
 Mir. O'Keefe has associated with him some of the most noted mining men in Arizona. and it is their pur- pose to apply the proceeds from the sale of stock to the development of the mine and the equipment of a plant for working the ore.
 ] P.J. Farley, county recorder of this county has been appointed the agent of the company in Prescott, to whom subscriptions can be made or blank applications attached to and printed with the advertisement may be cut out and forwarded direct to the treasurer of the company. Of course Mir. Farley's responsibility is well known and admitted and all or ders entrusted to him will ieceive prompt attention. Mir O'Keefe has a large number of personal friends who have already made liberal subscrip- tions to the stock so that the OppOr- tunity of obtaining 1t at the present price will not last very long and par ties desiring it, should avail them selves of an early opportunity of mak- ing their purchases.

A SUCCESSFUL TEST.
The Del Rio Pump Throws Four Hundred and Thirty two Gal- Ions of Water Per Day
 on Experimental
 Run.

Contractor Sturtevant put the big pump at Del Rio at work on Friday at Il o'clock pumping water direct from that place into the reservoir. The test is what is known as the con tractors test and the big pump was not run up to its full capacity but was maintained at a speed of 432,000 gallons in twenty four hours, every thing working as smoothly and satis- factorily as could be derired.
 The pipe line showed no defects of any importance and in fact has not since it was put in except in one place where defective piece of pipe was found and was taken out and replaced with sound piece. Considering that -ti1e pipe line is twenty miles this is raOnsidered a most remarkable record that only one defect should be found in it. The pipe is eight inches in di- ameter and the water is pumped through six inch meter at the pump ing plant north of town so that an absolutely correct record of the water being pumped is obtainable at all times. On Saturday evening there was eight feet of water in the reser- voir the supply being double the amount being consumed with all the flush tanks in full operation.
 The arrangement with the Chino valley ranchers is that the city gets the water two days out of four and the other two days it goes to the ranchers.
 The water is pumped from a well fed by living springs and with the pump going at its full capacity it does not lower the water sufficiently to make any impression in the over flow pipe, so that as a matter of fact the pump could be run all the time if necessary and still be enough water left for the ranchers.
 The water is pure, fresh spring water. It takes about twelve hours for it to flow from the pump to the reservoir under the pressure required. Arrangements are being made for building a telephone line so that com munication can be established between the plant and Prescott.

 The Vermont custom of not hang ing a convicted murderer until two years after the passing of the death sentence upon him is founded on the assumption that any possible doubt as to his guilt will be removed in that time, and all danger of putting an in- nocent man to death is thus elimi- pafad
