Bachelors Entertain.

The bachelors party at the Odd Fellows hall last evening proved to be as pleasant an event as has taken place in this city this season, not Withstanding the long list of pleasant parties. The bachelor party idea or Iginated in the fertile minds of a number of the young men of Prescott as an ideal way to show the gratitude of their hearts to the numerous young ladies and others of this city who had on numerous occasions thrown open their homes 10 them and scattered sunshine along their dreary, lonely, bachelor lives, and the handsome manner in which they played their parts as hosts last evening demon. strated that their hearts were in theil work. and the young ladies and their friends who were guests on this occa. sion felt fully repaid for the kindly interest they had taken in these young men of our city.
 The hall was nicely filled with the youth and beauty of the city. The full dress of the gentlemen, the hand.

 ladies, combined with the decoration: or the hall which consisted of cozy corners decorated with Navajo rugs,
 potted plants, palms, ferns, sweet peas, etc., made a scene as gay and beautiful as could we'll be imagined. The Eagles band orchestra of fouI pieces played sweet strains of music as the guests arrived and were wei comed by the hosts of the evening, and at 9:30 the first waltz struck ul and from that time on dancing was enjoyed until between one and two o'clock this morning.
 A delicious fruit punch and lemon ade was served in the ante room of the hall and the dancers did full jus tice to this refreshing beverage Ac- cording to the notion of all bachelors there was a liberal supply of cigars and cigaretts in the outer cloak rooms and a number of the devotees of the weed could always be seen lingering around their old friend, the cigar box.
 At II o'clock a bountifuI lunch of ice cream, cake, sandwiches, coffee, etc, was served in the banquet room of the ball and this feature of the evening was also greatly enjoyed.
 The young gentlemen who chose to denominate themselves as bachelors, and who acted as hosts on this pleas ant occasion were: Chas. W. Hern- don, c. Edward Meany, B.W. Zachau, W. s. Gregg, R. T. Phinney, H. Mercer Thomas, AID. Barnhart, Harry K. Major, John Mason Ross, H. A. Hamilton, Robert K. Porter, LeRoy Anderson. And it is safe to say it will be many moons before the guests of the evening will cease to sound the praises of their hosts.

Rudy and Jackson WInnIng by ) seconds.
 Thus it will be seen that remark ably clever work was done throughout the contest, and it must not be for gotten that a very strong wind was blowing which greatly retarded the time made. As noticed by the table above Messrs. Rudy and Jackson won the private wager of S250, beside the Sl000~ stake money, and many side bets. Henry Ritter made the best time for the three steers, while his partner Dixon headed the list for the single steer. The people generally conceded to the winners their success to the beautiful work accomplished by the white horse. which both of them rode. So well was be up in his work that when the brute was roped, no matter in what position caught he never gained his feet. After the rider left his back be pulled on the rope just the same. With both Ritter and Dixon, their horses were slow and would not hold the steers when thrown. This and this alone, is the cause of their defeat.
 In the middle of the tying contest the Broncho busting contest was pull ed of. Anson Young, Cbauncey Townsend and Frank Condon entered. The first horse rode by MT. Young did not amount to much and the sec ond rode by Mir. Townsend showed off little better, but this was fault of the horses and not the riders. Horses, especially of the Broncho class are very peculiar at times-and no more so than when you want to use them Nevertheless the third, a trim, we'll built bay, furnished enough sport for what was lacking in the other two No sooner did MT. Condon raise the blinds, than he was off like a rocket, and evidently many present remem- bers that time when by such antics he was permitted to lay in the dust, while the milky way with its myriad of stars crossed his vision and passed beyond the horizon. But this was not the case with Mir Condon. He rode like be was d part and parcel of the animal and upon his return to the grand stand. was the recipient of loud and long applause. Mir. Condon re. ceived first prize, $50, and Mr. Town. send second prize. s25.
 The Eagles brass band was present and furnished a liberal amount of splendid music which greatly enliven. ed the days sport. The day was cer- tainly an enjoyable one.
 There was no horse racing as nc purse was provided for the event and the owners of the different horses that had been talked of as intending tc enter, did not care to put up theil own money for the occasion.

The reports of a rich gold strike below Kingman have dwindled down until today the people of Mohave county are confronted with one of the rsnkest fakes and attempted swindles ever perpetrated on a mining com munity. The scheme by unprincipled speculators to fleece capital has been exposed, but too late to keep legiti- mate mining from receiving a sharp setback in mining circles. The men who perpetrated this outrage should be shown up as they deserve and doubtless will be when all the facts are fully known. The newspapers. whose mission it is to keep the public posted on matters of this kind should have no hesitancy in publishing the truth regarding this attempted wild cat scheme, and make it so warm for this influx of outside adventurers that they will not again attempt it in this section at least. The Mcguire mines, Lookout and other properties in the vicinity have only to be exam ined by an honest expert to prove their values, but the granite dyke where the fabulous strike vas said to have been made. is absolutely the scene of an attempted gigantic fraud. aud properties with merit located in the vicinity must suffer in conse- quence of the attempted hOldup There is no surer way to keep capital from investing than to have few of these wildcat enterprises foisted upon the public and the sooner they are ex- posed the lesser the injury to the dis trict involved. 1t Is remembered with satisfaction that our home peo- pie had nothing to do with this at tempted holdup, but believed the en- | terprise was in the way of legitimate mining.

 In conversation with Geo. P. liar riDgton, yesterday, a Journal Miuer ! at the Grey Eagle and Cleveland prop critics are most satisfactory. The Ti- ger Gold company, which owns these properties, has been doing some good work the past few months and these we'll known claims are sure to become big producers. A survey has been completed from the Gro Belle mine to Bradshaw city for narrow guage rail road, and when the standard guage railroad is completed to Grown King the narrow guage will then be built to that place to connect with it. For the present, however. the grade will be used as a wagon road. The grade is about four per cent.

The vein is widening daily and he expects a two and half foot vein when fifteen feet more are added to the shaft This property is surrounded by some fine claims, and is within a mile and half of the Po- land mine, and within ten miles of the Iron King, while many other valuable properties are near it. Drs. Hudson and Hughes and W. L. Os- born are interested in this mine and they have seventeen different claims in the vicinity of the mine- -Phenix Enterprise.

T. J. Rigby, president of the Rigby Mining and Reduction company which is now erecting a large chlorination plant at Mayer, has been in Prescott for couple of days on business, and the Journal Miner acknowledges a pleasant call from him. He says the work of erecting the big plant is mak ing very satisfactory progress and he feels sure that it will result in great deal of good to this section from mining standpoint, when it is com pleted and in operation. The plant will be able to handle the silicious ores, of which there is such a vast amount in this section, without the usual penalties which have heretofore taken such large amount of the pro fits that it made it impossible to handle large percentage of the ore. Such plant ought to meet with great success.

The Gold Road mines are showing themselves to be the greatest gold pro- ducing properties in the territory of Arizona. Since the starting up of the mill every week has seen an increase in the bullion output of the property until at present its production is phe- nomenal. Last Sunday there was ship ped from the mill two bars of bullion, valued at s10,0 900 and on Wednesday two more bars valued at SIP, GOO were sent to the office of the company in Los Angeles, making a total of s22, GOO inside of three days, the product of six days run of the tanks. Better ore is now being sent to the mill from the stopes and it is predicted that the production for August will be far in excess of that of July. At the present rate of production the mine may be depended on for more than S100, GOO monthly. The people at the head of the concern are men with thorough knowledge of mining and milling and they have been sanguine of attaining a big success in the handling of the property. At present there is not share of stock on the market, and none can be had, although recently its market price was far above par. The company is making an effort to get supply of water adequate to the de- mands and as soon as this has been accomplished the output of the mill
 will be largely increased So far the mill has not been run to its full ca pacity .-Mohave County Miner.

Ye editor was out at the Orc Grande mine this week and finds that every thing is moving along nicely. The J-stamp test mill has arrived and is being put in place. Ere many days the hustle of that camp will be heard and the first step toward milling the ores will be made Vice President George B. Upton is there and working with will to get everything in shape for the trial run. He is a thorough mining man and will make a success of the property. The 5-stamp mill that has been ordered and is being in- stalled has 9O0-pound stamps, and is of the same pattern as the proposed big mill and will fit right into that mlll if the stamp process proves a sue cess in handling these ores. This shows that Mir. Upton is not overlook ing any bets nor wasting any money. We congratulate the company on the present good outlook for its mlne.- News Herald.
