An Evidence of Prosperity.

The Bashford-Burmister company has amended its articles of incorpor- ation whereby its capital stock is in creased from Sl50,000 to S250,000. This furnishes an example of the prosperity of Prescott and of the rapidly growing business of this firm. During the big conGagration of July 1900, the building, stock, warehouse and everything pertaining to the company almost, except the contents of one or two outside warehouses. were consumed in the flames. The company hired special trains and ob- tained goods from Congress and Jerome and were open for business on Monday morning, the day follow ing the fire. In rebuilding their place of business they purchased an adjoining lot to those previously owned by it and extended the dimen- sions of the building over it. while in the interior arrangement they in creased the capacity of 1t nearly double what it had been prior to the fire, and also built a mammoth ware house across the alley, both buildings being filled with goods. The com pany purchases in carload lots en- tirely and does a large jobbing trade, and the steady and rapid growth of it's business has Occasioned the neces- sity of an increase in its capital stock The increase of Sl00,000 of itself makes very respectable capitaliza- ton. It is today the second largest mercantile institution in the territory if not the largest. The onl y com petitor it has for first rank Is Tue son house.

News of Mayer and Vicinity.

March 14.-Dr. Peter Cooper died at the Blue Bell mine on the after noon of March l3, with hemorrhage of the lungs. Dr. Cooper, his wife and little son came to Arizona two years ago for the doctors health. For a time they lived in Phenix, then on the Agua Fria and this winter lived at the Blue Bell, and was the physician for the mine. Dr. Cooper's home is in Delaware. Four of the children are there going to school. Dr. Cooper had won the esteem and affection of all who knew him. He was very able physician and esti mable gentleman in every respect. His bereaved widow and children have the sympathy of the community y in their sad affiiction. His body was shipped home to Delaware. Mrs. Cooper and her little son accom- panied the remains.
 The construction train loaded with timber came down to Mayer today.
 E. D. Treadwell is out looking after his mining properties in this section.
 Geo. Scholey of the lower Agua Fria is the happy father of a six pound girl.
 Grant Bros.'s water wagon is kept busy hauling water from Mayer to their camp.
 A social hop took place at the Mayer school house Friday evening. Some of the young people came up from the Agua Fria and two young ladies came from Huron. There was just nice sized party. Every one had merry time and danced until the wee small hours of morning.
 The Black Canyon mining section looks very promising just now, There are several rich gold and cop per mines there. The mining ex- perts who visited it recently consider it the coming Cripple Creek of Ari- zona. What are known as ruby rocks are quite interesting specimens from that section. The rocks seem to be filled with small garnets.

Murder at WinsIoW.

4 telegram from Winslow dated March 12, says: The most atrocious murder in the history of this commu- nity occurred this afternoon when In dian Jim, full blood Navajo Indian, murdered his wife and two daughters in the most horrible manner, beating them to death with a club.
 The crime was committed at the home of the family, few miles from Winslow. About five o'clock this af- ternoon a son of Indian Jim came riding into town, badly frightened, and bringing the news that his father had murdered his mother and two sisters.
 A posse was at once organized by Marshal Henley to go in pursuit of the suspect. The posse first rode to the scene of the crime and found full verifcation of the boys story. They found the mother and her two daugh- ters lying on the floor in their own blood, having been killed by blows from a blunt instrument supposedly a club.
 The boy says that his father sent him away from the house to get a horse. When he returned he found the bodies of his mother and sisters, and the father gone, having taken the rife with him. He at once rode to town to spread the alarm.
 Indian Jim is we'll known here, having lived around Winslow for sevss eral years. What was the motive prompting the crime is not known The murderer has taken 10 the broken country where hiding places are nu- merous and will probably avoid cap ture for some time. Marshal Henley and his posse are on the trail.

An Art Exhibition.

There was a very interesting art exhibition yesterday afternoon at the residence of w. NJ. Claypool, the ex- tibition being the production of the brush of Miss Bessie Blandy, very clever artist. Miss Blandy recently spent about eight months travelling in Europe, and during that period she took sketches of many of the interest ing scenes she saw, as well as making sketches of number of human faces. Since her return home she has been busily employed with brush and paint on these sketches transforming them into things of beauty, and how skill fully this was done was demonstrated vesterday at this exhibit. The rooms were crowded with ladies during the afternoon, and they were enthusiastic in their praise of the work done by Miss Blandy, which ranks with that of more famous painters. A great many, in fact nearly all of the pie lures foun1 ready sale to the ladies preSPnt

Seed Time and Harvest.

A good time to think most seri- ously of the harvest is seed time. The decision you make then will determine the value of your crops later. The growing compe- tition in seed selling is an increasing temptation to interruptions dealers to make extravagant claims for their seeds, both in price and producing qualities. The wisest farmers are those who are influenced most by what experience has proven to be good and true. Thousands of seed sewers in all sections of the country SOW Ferry's famous seeds year after year, and have the satisfaction of good harvests to justify their contin- ued faith in the Ferry firm. They pay a few cents more at seed time
 but realize many dollars in better crops at the harvest. The natural consequence of this confidence is an ever increasing business. D. M
 Ferry & Go. sent out last year more seeds than any other seed house in the world. The 1902 catalogue ol this house is now ready and will be found useful guide in selecting the choicest seed for the farmer, the truck gardener and the flower gar
 dener. It is sent free on request

Premature Obituary.

The Kansas City Star has an obitu- ary writer on its staff which gives the following of William Jennings Bryan:
 Editor, valedictorian and retired politician. Born, Salem, H., March 19, 1860, with silver ladle in his mouth. Has been using it ever since. Reckoned on basis of sixteen to one, he was 16 years old at the end of his first year, which accounts for his ex- traordinary precocity, and is now 656 years old, which accounts for his marvellous sagacity.
 In 1887, acting on the principle of sweets to the sweets" he moved to Lincoln, Neb., 'Lincoln to Lincoln" being his motto. Entered Congress in 1891, and was chosen almost-sena- tor in 1893 and 1894. as a member of the Near-Silk wing of the Nebraska democracy. In 1896 he was sent as a delegate and correspondent to the national democratic convention at Chicago, and knowing how to write, an accomplishment early acquired in the public schools of Illinois, he framed a silver plank in the party platform. As a reward for this achievement, augmented by ten minute speech of the Is to 1 order sixteen parts eloquence and one of reason-he received the nomination for the presidency of the United States, defeating William Sulzer, Benjamin Tillman and Andrew Jack son by the signal majority of unani- nous vote.
 An active campaign followed, and Mir. Bryan travelled six thousand leag- ues and made four hundred thousand miles of speeches, with such etfectlv- eness that he was granted leave of absence from public service for four years, although his platform, calling for an eighteen cent dollar and the execution by hanging of the supreme court of the United States, appealed strongly to large number of his fel- low citizens. Renominated in 1900 and was again defeated by acclama- ton. Since 1900 has retired to Lin coin, Neb.
 During the Spanish war MT. Bryan raised an infantry regiment-the Third Nebraska volunteers-becom- ing its colonel. It penetrated Spa nish territory as far as Jacksonville, Fla, but met with such unexpected resistance from the forces intrenched at Washington that it never succeed ed in reaching the front.
 Mir. Bryan was mustered out in 1900, and has remained on the out side ever since. He has his fine points and is everybody's friend, but has practically renounced his Pres idential aspirations by becoming an editor. In rejecting 99 per cent of the MSS. submitted by his fellow Democrats, as required by the limita- tions of space to do, he has naturally weakened his hold upon his party, and it is doubtful if he is ever again chosen to lead it to defeat.

AN EXPLORING PARTY.

John s. Hendrickson, W. J. Doyle and William Fisher of Los Angeles are on- their way to New Orleans, where they will set sail for Brazil They are going after gold that Fisher claims can be found by the aid of a chart he happened to run across in California few days ago among the effects of deceased friend. Accord ing to the chart, it will be necessary to travel 800 miles up the Amazon river and then several hundred more up the tributaries of the mighty waterway. To reach their destina- tion the party will have to travel for five hundred miles through unex- plored forests and swamps where civilized man|has never been. When the party reaches the end of its jour ney it will be at the foot of a range of mountains traversing northern Brazil and southern Venezuela.-Gazette.
 The greater probability is that when the party reaches the end of the journey they will be hundreds of miles from the above mountains Parties who have hitherto attempted to penetrate the unexplored forests and swamps of Brazil have never lived to tell the tale.

Mir. Hill has branch house in Tucson besides his main house in Phenix
 He has rented the brick building near the depot formerly occupied as an eating house, which he will occupy temporarily, and until he can build a commodious warehouse on the track.
 In conversation today Mir.

Sam Finley Killed.

Sam Finley, who has figured in a number of fights in Arizona for the past ten years, was shot and killed at Tonopah, Nevada, in a street fight. A coroner's jury was at once summoned and exonorated the man who did the shooting. Tonopah is new mining town in Nevada and is consequently pretty tough place. Finley was up in that country purchasing horses. Last September, he went into the livery business in Los Angeles and has of late been buying and selling horses. He expected to come to Arizona this spring but found that he could not make a trade here and for that reason went up to Ne vada.
 Finley was well known in southern Arizona where he had the reputation of being a bad man with a gun. He was at one time mounted inspector for the Nogales Customs house and in company with Sam King, who held the same position, killed Mexican at Bisbee who opened fire on then when they held him up for smuggling mescal. During a recent trip to So nora Finley killed a man from Texa: in a fight over two mules which they both claimed. Some time ago Finley was in Nevada and while trying tC arrest four men for some offense en gagged in a pistol fight with them ant dropping behind an open blacksmith shop forge killed three of them When the Cochise train robbers es capped from the jail at Tombstone Finley was indicted on several counts for aiding and abetting their escap' but he was never convicted. At on' time Finley served as city marshal O Tucson and was candidate for sev eral other offices.-Ex.

MINING CORRESPONDENCE.

The Journal Miners Groom Creek correspondent had very interesting communication in Saturdays issue. The Journal-Miner would like cores pondence from every mining district in the county. The income of the paper will not justify a staff cores pondent in the field visiting the vari- ovs mining camps. If some individ- ual in each district who is inteested in the development of his section of the country, would take the trouble to write weekly letter telling what is being done in his particularlocality it would not fail to prove beneficial to the district in particular and to the mining interests of the county in gen eral. A commendable feature of Mir. Laird's correspondence is that it is conservatived dealing ginactualfa and conditions, and in speaking of possi- Utilities he does not indulge in the boom "whoop-em-up" style so com mon among many writers of mining news. A simple letter of facts plain ly stated, and opinions conservatively uttered will do more good for a min district than a whole special edition of boom literature, depicting exag. gerated conditions.
 Of course MT. Laird is very favor ably located, as a mining correspon- dent. While he would not misrepre sent under any circumstances, it SC happens that the district which he covers is coming to the front so rapid ly, with the active development work in progress that it would take man more skilled in misrepresentation than he to exaggerate conditions.
 The Journal-Miner would like about two dozen conservative cores pondents in this county covering tho different mining districts as faithfully and correctly as its Groom Creek cor respondent Of course general hap penings outside of mining new' would also be appreciated.
