SILVER AND COPPER
Fine Showing on Illinois Copper Com
 pany's Claim.

Before development work was started on the Angel and Bess groups early this year, but little work had been done in that section for years, but since then a number of very promising properties have been discovered or had more or less work done on them. The latest to attract notice, says the Wickenburg News Herald, is the White Cap group of twelve claims lying one and one-half miles west of the Angel. and now being developed by the Illinois Copper com pany, lately organized by V. E. Mes singer and A. w. Bennett of Glendale and N. c. Dougherty of Peoria, Iili- nois. The company is working seven men and have just started sinking a shaft on an immense white quartz blowout, occurring in a quartzite for nation. They were fortunate enough to strike pay ore at the grass roots and have already taken out over two tons of high-g grade silver-copper ore in the first five feet of shaft. MT. Bennett brought in some large samples to this office Monday. all of which are about the finest silver-copper ore we have seen from any of the mines in this sec ton. Large masses of glance, gray copper, aZurite and malachite seem to occur in large pockets or kidneys through the formation, and, judging from the amount of are taken from the five-foot hole. the pockets must be pretty comfortably crowded up against each other. Nearly all the ore carries silver. as is evident from the stain, and MT. Bennett informs us that float picked up around the blowout assayed well in silver. No assays have been made yet on the ore now being taken out, so we are unable to state the silver values. but the ore needs no assaying to determine the copper values, which are very evident. Pieces placed in the large forge are easily melted into metal with an ordinary blacksmith's fire.

nett believes that the murderer did not get enough money to pay for such a horrible crime. WalsZ had not lately been in the habit of keeping mucn money about him. He was in town q week ago attending to some legal busi- ness, and he did not then have enough to pay the fees he incurred.
 Several years ago he and Denny Madigan took up a homestead west of the Gila expecting to obtain water for 1t from the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company. The river charged it's course and they were washed out. They were given special permission by the land department to fife again, and they did so on the other side of the river. About three years ago they both went to Alaska. Walsz returned a year later, but Madigan remained. He has not been heard from lately and is be- lieved to be dead. Before their depar- ture Madigan gave Walsz mortgage secured by his half interest in the ranch. The mortgage was foreclosed at the last term of court.
 WalsZ was one of the most saving men that ever lived. He had kept a book showing his receipts and expen- ditures since he was a boy. Every cent that ever passed through his hands is accounted for. He never bought even so much as a bag of peanuts; he never saw a circus and he never dreamed of a theater. He had never bought anything outside the strict necessaries of life.
 He was quite well known in Phoenix. He was employed by the Creighton Bros. on their threshing outfit for sev- eral seasons. He was a man of great strength and industry and usually re- ceived twice the wages of other hands He always walked to the valley from his ranch and at the close of the seasos' walked back again, carrying his money with him in a lump.
 Late yesterday afternoon a telegram was received from Frank Welcome of Gila Bend saying that the trailers were out in the vicinity of the place of mur- Jer, but that nothing had been hearu from them. At the same time a mes sage was received from Justice KaIten- bach saying that Deputy Sheriff Will Hams was hunting for clues with 8 posse. but that none had been found

THE SLIDING SCALE OF AGE.

How old must you be to be called ''old" in that young country, Gopher lands. A Sioux City despatch to the Minneapolis Times tells the prowess of the Hon. C. H. Britton, who. though in his fifties,' took the bull by the horns when it attacked him. MT. Britton threw the bull and held him there until help arrived" Bully for Britton. the bull-thrower. But see what a strange title some sucking on the Minneapolis Times gives to this labor of the Iowa Hercules: Aged Man Throws Bull" Is a man in his fifties regarded as aged" in Gopherland?

ANOTHER NEW PROCESS.

H. G. Clark, of the Rigby Mining and Reduction company, of Denver, returned to Prescott last Thursday from Mayer, at which point he has been for some weeks past engaged in surveying a site for and preparing plans looking to the erection of a Pohls Crosdale process plant of 100 tons daily capacity for treatment of ores. This is a new process, the re- suit of scientific research covering a period of ten years. The process has been perfected in the past two years. The company has small plant at Dem yer, where ores have been success fully treated. The plant to be erected at Mayer is the first custom plant to be. put up. The plant will turn ou' the refined product the same as com plete smelter. These people are go- ing quietly to work on their own money and are asking no bonus or anything of that sort. and, when their plant is completed, will buy the ores for their plant in the open market
 Contracts for the erection of the plant will be let in t--e near future.-Courier

STATEHOOD DELEGATES
Phoenix May Not Be Fully Represent
 ed at Washington.

It is not likely that many of the members of the committee named at the statehood meeting on Monday will go to Washington. Former Governor Murphy had not decided last night whether he could get away and Cover nor Brodie is sure that he cannot The loan commission of which he is the head is meeting under a mandate of the court and must make report by December 12th. Beside that he has his message t0 the legislature to pre- pare and the time is not long in which the information to be laid before that body is tn be gathered together. Sur veyor General Price also a member of the committee finds it impossible to leave at this time.
 Former Governor M'Cord the remain ing member is out of the city. The statehood bill will be reported to the senate today and then ten days will elapse before there will be any action upon it and it was within that time that the committees to be sent from the territory were expected to do their work. with the senators.
 The only town in Arizona heard from regarding the matter of sending dele gations to Washington is Tucson. Sec retary Van der Veer of the board of trade yesterday received the following dispatch from Secretary Nose Drach- man of the Tucson chamber of com merce:
 Tucson, December 2.
 "At a meeting of the chamber of commerce held today a committee O: four WAS appointed to act with the other delegations in the interest of statehood" :"

A 1OO-TON MILL
Reduction Plant Ordered for the Iron
 King Mine.

Contracts have been signed by the Joshua Hend machine works of San Francisco for the erection of a 100- ton daily capacity mill, to be completed iE four months time, 50 tons stamp ca pacity and 50 tons roll capacity, at the Iron King mine, says the Prospect The mill will be arranged as a testing plant with plates and concentrators, and cyanide. Grading for the mill is now being done, and the work will be pushed to meet the demands of the contract.
 The drift along the footwall of the ore body to the south is now 150 feet south from No. 1 shaft, with a marked increase in ore values, making up 10 date S30 feet in length along this large ore deposit
 No. ? shaft is being rapidly sunk. now that a good hoisting plant is in operation and a sinking pump installed.
 Values are increasing at the rate of $1 for every ten feet sunk, the shaft now being in the enriched zone nf ledge matter, but still oxidized. Values may confidently be expected to increase materially when the sulphides are en- countered
 A crosscut is being driven toward the hanging wall at a point 300 feet north from shaft No. 2, which is at the. north end of the drift; said crosscut is now in 50 feet and all in high grade ore.
 The total length of development now done is S30 feet with one crosscut 50 feet. 300 feet south: another crosscut IA feet. and 6SO feet south a crosscut 145 feet in length, and still in SIP ore. All of the above work si only down to the 100-foot level.

HIS FEAR OF BANKS
The Probable Cause of the Death of
 Charles Walsz.

No additional information was re- ccived yesterday regarding the murder of Charles WalsZ near Gila Bend on Sunday night. The notification which came to the office of the sheriff was not received until o'clock on Monday night, so that the sheriff was unable to leave the city. He left for Gila Bend last night. The overtaking of the mur- derer is an almost hopeless task. Walsz was alone at the time of the murder and the nearest house is about four miles distant. The locality is isolated so that there is no probability that any one but the murderer and his victim were anywhere in the neighborhood The destruction of the house by fire would also destroy any of the ordinary clues found after such crimes.
 Justice Burnett had been the attor- ney of Walsz for the last twelve years and perhaps knew more about him than any other man in Arizona. Yesterday y he filed petition in probate court fo: letters of administration on his prop erty, which consists of a tract of land of 32O acres, two or three horses, u couple of mules. some chickens and the ordinary utensils about q farm The whole is valued ct about s1,OOO The ranch is what is known as a dry ranch dependent upon the uncertain rains along the Gila and upon a ditch which has not yet been constructed. Walsz also owned some property in Kansas City in the business district, which brought him an annual income.
 Justice Burnett believes that Walsz fell a victim to a want of faith in banks until three or four years ago. He then changed his business methods. but it is possible that his murderer di1 not know it. He believed that ali bankers were rascals and that they were only waiting until the deposits should grow to be worth while when they would fail. He was accordingly his own banker. He kept his money buried in tins in different places about his farm. Whenever he was in need of any he would go to one of the hiding places on a dark night and draw as much as he needed.
 Justice Burnett pointed out the dan ger of that system of banking, and Walsz finally abandoned it and deposit ed his money with the Consolidated National bank of Tucson. Justice Bur
