COLEMAN Is
ACQUITTED

The United States grand jury has
ignored the charge of murder against
Prime T. Coleman, for killing Henry
Barrett recently in Apache county.
1t was shown that Barrett was the ag-
gressor, making a most vicious assault
on Coleman while he was engaged in
cooking over camp fire. Both we're
stockmen and had been partners in a
permit for grazing privileges on the
reservation and dispute over this led
to the tragedy. Coleman was shot
through both legs and will be Grip
pied for life. Both were wealthy and
were considered good citizens. Bar
assisted the sheriff's posse in running
to earth a number of desperate char
acters. After receiving mortal wounds
from bullets from Coleman's rifle,
and exhausting his own ammunition,
be used his gun as a club, and struck
Coleman over the head with it a
number of times, beating him into
Inconsistencies, as he lay on the
ground from wounds from bullets
from his (Barrett's) gun, and remark
ed as he did so: "You have killed
me all right but [ will take you to
hell with me-" and almost immedi-
ately expired. Coleman did not re-
cover CONSCIOUSNESS for some time and
it was thought for days that he would
die

TWO KINDS OF BRAVERY
By DIR. s. M. Wright.

By DIR. S. NJ. Wright.
L stood by the rim of a great deep
shaft,
Whose bottom was far below
And thought of the strokes of ham
mer and drill
That it took to make it so.
Then, too. when 1 think of the mighty
power,
Which tore the rocks in twain,
And the hair breadth risks of the men
below,
1t saddens my heart with pain.
Full many a miners chance for his
life
And his loved ones chance for
bread,
Is less than the miner himself would
guess
1t hangs on tiny thread.
Great rocks in the top of the shaky
drift,
Where none but miners go,
May drop from jar or a fingers
touch
And bury the men below.
The cable may break, with dozen
men
In the cage and then, alas!
Nrlo,, Ahor- h. l-NIfne Co
below,
They find but a shapeless mass.
And let them explode just one miss
fire
And whatever more befalls,
The warm red blood and the quivering
flesh,
Are scattered DER the walls.
And the noxious gas, with the hor-
rors else
Too many TO mention here
1t starts the query of hundred mel,
Will there one survive a year?
In war men will rush to the lannon's
mouth,
For excitement quiets fear
But down in the depth of deep dark
| mine
No music there to cheer.
None step to the time of the rhymic
drum;
Old Glory there don't wave;
Yet down TO the depth these stern men
go,
With none to call them brave.
Some may say this picture is over
drawn
Don't censure me too quick
The man who mines with his kid
gloves on,
Don't rustic behind the pick.

Two large Whitley tables are used tC

passed over the amalgamating plates,
and the free gold has been separated
from it by smslgamation. The tail
ings are tested every fifteen minutes
by a Lamb automatic tester, so that
perfect check can be kept on the
values that are being lost in the tail
ings. The tests so far of the mill
show that not over IS cents to 81 per
ton is being lost in the tailings. This
is considered to be very small loss
The cyaniding system is what is
known as the pneumatic system.
There are four Cotton tanks and are so

without going to the bins for them.
The assayfng department has been
equipped with all the latest and most
improved apparatus for every part of
the work, it being second to none in
this part of the country. The assayer
with an assistant can turn out be-
tween 275 and 300 assays in 10 hours.
While the mine at its present depth
of $50 feet produces considerable wa
ter, yet the supply was not sufficient
as yet to run the mill, and a pump
ing station was put in at the Aqua
Fria river about one half mile below
the Val Verde smelter. From this
source an abundant water supply can
be had for many times greater plant
than they now have. A pipe line one
and one half miles long carries the
water from this place to the camp
where two large reservoirs with ca
pacity of about 100000 gallons are
kept full. A 22-horse power Fair
banks, Morris q Co. gasoline engine
is used to operate the large
Goulds pump which has capacity of
100 gallons per minute under a pres
sure of 225 pounds per inch.
The 12-drill air compressor has now
been pat in commission and the Bur-
leigh drills have been started up
which means the work underground
will now be pushed much faster than
heretofore.
At the present time the following
amount of underground development |
has been done: Shafts, 947 feet; |
drifts, 1874 feet; cross cuts, 574 feet; |
upraises, 237 feet; making a total of
1892 feet of development done on the
main property while several hundred
feet of work has been done on claims
belonging to the company outside of
the Iron King group. The greatest |
part of this work had been done with |
in the past year. and the property to-
day is the marvel of everyone in this |
part of Arizona. Where one year ago
there was only a blacksmith shop and
one or two other small buildings to
indicate that there was small min
ing camp, today there is small town
of nearly fifty splendid buildings. |
The Iron King mine, at its present |
rate of growth and development will |
within a few more months be second |
in Yavapai county to the great United
Verde. The American Copper COM
pany has almost unlimited money at
its command and when an improve
ment is seen to be needed it is not
hampered for want of funds.

MINING intelligence.

Douglas, Lacey u Co. seem to have
come to the conclusion, after pros
pecting around in this section for
about two years, to engage in the
mining business. During the period
since they entered the field here, they
have taken hold of sixteen different
prospects, every one of which are now
closed down, whether permanently or
only temporarily, time will tell, they
do not say. A deal was closed yester-
day whereby it is reported that the
company has purchased the property
formerly worked by Mr.. Moynahan on
Groom Creek. Negotiations have been
in progress for this property for
some time and Mr. Moynahan was en-
route east to close the deal when be
met the accident which caused his
death. The properties have an excel
lent reputation and should prove a
success under good systematic bust
ness management and under the sup

mining. 1t is hoped that in this
property Douglas, Lacey u Co. may
find the opportunity of redeeming
themselves from the distrust that has
resulted from their former operations
here, and that this new property may
prove a dividend payer. 1t is report
ed that they will at once erect a mill
on this new acquisition and work it
for all that it is worth.
President G. W. Hull of the Cleo
patra reports that the north drift
from the Winingham tunnel on that
property has improved wonderfully
during the past few days. He says
they are taking between two and three
tons of ore per day from this tunnel,
and yet are only drifting. The devel-
opment of a mine on the Cleopatra
ground means much to jerome, hence
the deep interest being taken in the
development of this property.

with him some specimens of very fine
ore from a strike recently made there.
The specimens were literally covered
with native copper, and were obtained
from claim where no indication of
copper had been found prior to the
finding of this ore. The claim belongs
TO Mr.. and Mrs. Kay, and they have
had it located for about two years and
have worked it as they have been able
A tunnel was run in Oh the vein for a
considerable distance, and good high
grade ore was obtaiued. Lately they
have started to sink a shaft and it was
in this shaft, where the ore carrying
native copper, was found at depth of
twenty five feet. The mine is called
the King mine. and this copper was
the last thing that was expected to be
found in it. The ore is twelve inches
wide at the above depth.

In Malta comparatively few people

Valuable Territory 1t Brought to the

The upper portion of the louisiana
purchase was known as the territory of
Louisiana. 1t comprised all that terri
tory north Of the thirty-third degree of
latitude, eastward to the Mississippi
and westward and northward rs far Us
the undetermined boundaries Of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South Of this was the district Of
Orleans, with its seat of government
hxed at New Orleans. The cession Of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10, 1904, when,
having received the cession from the
Spanish, the French representative
handed it over to the agent of the Unit
ed States with q very brief and simple
ceremony.
BY these unimpressive proceedings
the government OF the United States
was put in possession Of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states Of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missou-
ri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, the Indian Territory and
parts Of the states Of Minnesota and
Colorado. The men who were the ac-
tive agents in the transfer of this
mighty land from one national jurisdic-
ton to another are we'll nigh forgotten
in the crowd and rush of later but not
less important events. By this historic
purchase the seat OF n mighty empire
was forever established. BY this pur-
chase the possibilities Of developing
from the republic a world power were
strengthened. Under u benignant
rule comfort, luxury, prosperity and
every variety Of material activity fill
the wide spaces in which our fathers
found only n trackless wilderness. Com
mon gratitude bids us recall with ac-
claim the names Of Jefferson, Living
ston and Monroe, who, building better
than they knew, made this magnificent
transformation possible.-Noah Brooks
