left this morning for Jerome from
 which place he will go to the Etta
 group of mines to complete report
 of that property. He was here a few
 days ago working on this report when
 he received orders to go to New Mex
 ico to examine property there. He
 says Yavpaai as a mining section
 ranks very high and deservedly so,
 for there are many splendid properties
 and hundreds of good prospects which
 with capital to handle them would certainly make good mines. He is we'll pleased with the Etta group, so far as he has examined into them.
 M E. Spaulding, R. A. Talbot and son and another party recently se cured a mining claim about two miles east of Prescott and in doing location work on the ledge struck some very rich ore, assaying up into the hun dreds of dollars per ton. The rich streak was only few inches wide and seemed to run out again few feet deeper, but the indications looked so good that work was continued and now, Eat few feet deeper, the ore is coming in again and gives evidence of developing into a rich prospect.
 The recent close down of the United Verde mines and shelter at Jerome was caused by lack of coke, of which 150 car loads per II onti gre required. The Reporter says tLat Vice Presi dent McDonai who is in Jerome now, is not willing that his company should be so entirely dependent upon the railroad, and has expressed him. self favoring the construction of large coke bins to carry a supply to tide them over future troubles of this kind
 A cross cut in the Victor mine on Lynx Creek is reported to have passed through II feet of ore that averaged from S14 to S26 per ton and the hang ing wall had not yet been reached. Another rich strike was reported in a drift below these workings and run ming to the east, the ore averaging S79 per ton.
 Mrs. Ida CroZier brought in samples of ore from the TruXtOn Springs coun- try. few days ago, but we did not learn what results were obtained from them. Rich float rock has been found in that country and it would be no surprise if some day big vein of ore was found there. .-Mohave Miner.
 An immense body of ore has been opened up on the 800 foot level of the | mine. At the 400 level the ore body shows no diminutiOn from that encountered in the vein above l that point. while the drifts one hun dred feet below are in the best ore ever encountered in the late workings of the mine. Owing to the lack of water the mill has not been run here 1. tofore to advantage, but it is thought ]. that this impeachment will be overcome shortly. Miner

"REMINISCENCES
The Jerome Shelter and Mines Are Incubator For Sonora and
 Southern Arizona.
Great Hegira of Competent Mechanics Which Has Taken Place From
 JeromA Recently.

Thomas Taylor who has been super intendent of the reduction department of the United Verde company at Jer- ome since the Mitchells left for the Cananeas stopped of last evening OF his way from Phenix, where he had been in coHfeTeuoe with officials of the Mexican property. The result of this PheniX visit is that Mir. Taylor has been employed to take charge of the Cananea smei er at a salary of s60OO a year The agreement is signed for the Sonora company by Robert Mitchell who formerly was Senator Ciark's Jerome shelter man.
 Mir. Taylor is one of the well known men in mining circles. and has been quite active in Yagapai politics, being one of those who wielded most infiu- ence with U. V. employees
 The Jerome mine and smelter ap- pear to be playing the part of incu- bator for other big properties of the southwest.
 The Cananeas was opened up largely through the instrumentality of George Mitchell, the elder of the Mitchell brothers, who was at that time superintendent of the Jerome smelter, he left and took with him the cream of the skilled men, his last being Mir. Taylor. The copper smel- ter at Bisbee has also made liberal de- mands on the great Iavapai mine. Adamson, master mechanic, and who, by the way made S24, 900 out of the Cananeas, was given a munificent sal ary to go south, and has since put up Sthe Douglas reduction works. Frank Perkins, the architect, under whose supervision Jerome as it now stands was builded was called to Bisbee where his plans were accepted for the copper shelter hotel.
 He has enjoyed the confidence of that company since and has put up many handsome company cottages. Lately, we understand, his plans for the union depot were accepted at Fl Paso in competition with many eastern firms.
 Henry Strodhof. head bookkeeper for the T. F. Miller company, went to Douglas where he is now manager of the Copper Queen stores. He was, possibly, one of the most popular of the young business men of Jerome.
 Ed Parkinson, who practiced law in Jerome, is timekeeper for the Can aneas, as is also Jim Wade. The archi- | tect for the Cananeas i. Mir. Rolfe an other Jerome man. 4 list of those l doing we'll in the south would require more space than is intended to be given in this article, it is simply in- tended to call attention to the esteem in which the miners and shelter men of Yavapai are held by others. It is to be hoped that the United Verde has been as good to itself as it has to others and has plenty of new blood to take hold of the new and large smelter about completed at Jerome.

FOSSIL CREEK POWER PLANT
Work to Be Started at OaCo On the Road
 Leading to the Plant Sites.
Million Dollar Contract Has Been Let For the Completion of the System-Great Good to This Section
 Sure to Be the Result.

Miner that they will be able to fur
 nish power for less then one half what
 it costs to generate power at the mines.
 Enough contracts could he signed up
 now with mining companies along the line to consume the entire output of 6OOO horse power. which guaran- tees the complete success of the ven ture from the very start.
 It does not require a sage nor a philosopher to understand the benefits that are bound to accrue to Yavapai county as the result of this enterprise.
 It is well known that there are scores and scores of good prospects that only need to be developed into mines. many of them with immense bodies of low grade ore that would not pay to work at the present cost and difficulty of producing power, but which can be made to produce millions of dollars by the use of cleo tric power when it can be furnished at the rates this company proposes to furnish it for-about SlOO per horse power per year. Take for example, some man or company has good looking prospect, bat the place is al- most inaccessible for the erection of a power plant as heavy engines and boilers can not be transported to the mine without great cost in building roads and purchasing costly machin- cry. Unless the property has a won derfully good showing to start with, there is naturally reluctance in spending so much money. Then. as is so often the case. there may be no water to run a steam plant. But if electric power is available at such small cost. a motor can be pur- chased and easily put in place. wire run to it from the transmitting line. push the button and go to hoisting, running your mill, drills. etc. This will serve to illustrate some of the possibilities for good that are bound to result to this community.

MONDAY CLUB MEETING.
Interesting Discussion by Members as
 to Educational Advantages.


 Yesterdays session of the Monday club Was an extremely interesting one. The programme differed from programmes of other meetings in that it consisted of a debate instead of the reading of papers. The question dis cussed WAS: Resolved that better advantages for higher education are afforded in the United States than abroad ''
 Those in the affirmative were Mrs. ,.. W. Ross and Mrs. J. B. Hooker. while the negative was supported by Mrs. $. $. Waistum and Mrs. W. T. Brown. Mrs. Walstrum being absent she sent d written discussion. which was read by Mrs. C II B. Carter, Mrs. G. A. Beach, who had travelled abroad gave a very interesting ,alk in the negative.
 A pleasing incident of tine discus sion was the closing of Mrs. Rocker 's argument in favor of the United States She paid glowing tribute to the country. which Was fuli of patri- oiism and national adulation, and just as she sat down. Mrs. W. $. Goldsworthy, who Was seated at the piano, withou. any previous an nouncemeut, and without any knowl- edge of her intentions. started mp the air America. " The i.diy- iu,oiuu- tarily joined in singing it with an en- thusiasm that Was convincing to all that il k not necessary to go abroad to inspire patriotism or love of coun- try whatever he educational facilities abroad might ho.
 At the close of the discussion Mrs. B. D. Billinghurst. president of the club, gave talk both for and against the resolution. showing educational advantages possessed at home and abroad.

CALIFORNIA FISH STORY.

The latest fish story comes from Bedding, California, and is very shy, as follows:
 A large school of small, fully devel- oped salt water fish was found this morning on top of Jenny Creek Hill, two miles west of Bedding. The fish covered nearly an acre. and were fully l5O feet above the highest water mark The fish are strangers to this section. They resemble a shad in looks. but average only two inches long. They are evidently full grown, as the scales and eye rings denote this.
 The only theory that can be ad- vanced for their appearance is that they were carried up from the oce' T, ninety miles distant. and droppe, on Jenny Creek Hill during the s.orm last night. The discovery of the fish was made by D. Bruner of San Fran cisco. and has been vOuched for by reputable citizens Bruner brought q basketful to town, and some have been put in alcohol for exhibition.

by Mrs. W. W. Ross. Mrs. c. F. Hummer sang solo in very pleas ing manner. The selection was a beautiful one and Mrs. Plummer's rendering of it was equally beautiful, as she has a very sweet and well trained voice. This is the first time Mrs. Hummer has favored Prescott gathering with vocal number. She is quite valuable acquisition to Prescott's musical circles.
 A class of young ladies from St. Joseph's academy gave a vocal num- Der, accompanied by one of their number which was highly appreciated by the club.
 Mrs. w. s. Goldsworthy and Miss Mabel Hooker also rendered a piano duet.

LIKES CAKE WALK.
King Edward Captivated With the
 Latest Fad in Dancing.

A London telegram says: King Ed ward is the latest victim of the cake walk craze. Whenever an American girl is about to be introduced to him now, his first question is "Can she cake walk?' ''
 Mrs. Lawrence Townsend com pletely captivated the King at San dringham by her graceful, agile per formance of the cake walk. She dances it on Parisian lines, with less arm and figure movement than in the stage version. Mrs. Townsend is the wife of the United States Minister to Belgium, and is the American social success of the moment here, and promises to become an important per sonage in London society. She al ways dresses beautifully, has good looks, is intelligent, and, what counts or much just now, plays bridge well.
 After taking Hamburg society by storm, Mrs. Townsend came here, made influential friends, was invited to be one of King Edwards guests at house party at Sandringham, and since then has been a bright particu- lar star in the fashionable Armament.

AN UGLIER MAN THAN LINCOLN.

AN UGLIER MAN THAN LINCOLN.
 A very characteristic anecdote of President Lincoln was told by the late Rev. William Hastings, who took great pleasure in telling it, in spite of the fact that it was rather unfiattering to himself.
 Back in the sixties. '' the minister used to tell, "when l was a chaplain in the army, was on train one day when a tall and angular stranger arose from his seat, came over to where I sat and handed me an old fashioned pocketknife. Much astonished, asked what he meant.
 ''The tall man. whom. | soon learned. was President Lincoln, said {:
 ''heep 1t; you are entitled to it. Years ago that knife was presented to me with the request that if 1 ever saw an ugiler man than myself, 1 was to give it to him. "-Houth's Companion.
 ENGINEERS MARROW ESCAPE.
 The Fl Paso Times says: A South. ern Pacific railway employe, in talk ing of the Tucson wreck yesterday, said Engineer Ingram of Lordsburg i. certainly lucky man. He escaped being in the wreck by mere chance It was Ingram's turn to go out witl the fatal No 9 from Lordsburg, bu feeling unwell, he decided to lay of for trip. In his place went Engi neer Wilkie. who met such a frightfu death in the wreck. About six week ago Ingram had another and simila lucky secape from death. He stepped off his engine at Lordsburg and short time afterwards its boiler bley up, almost completely demolishini the iron monster. A still more pecu liar feature of the circumstance is tha it was this same engine which was il the Tucson disaster.

THE TEST FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. What will South Carolina do with her red handed slayer? We do not be- lieye for a moment that she will ap- plaud "Jim'' Tillman's crime and re- ward it with political preferment. Will she punish the man who went straight from the chair of her senate to his crime. Or will family influence and political influence get him of and deride justice: IL is a test for South Carolina. and one thing she can be perfectly sure; the whole coun- try will be looking on.-Hartford Courant.
 We assume that there will be a trial There is doubtless still sufficient re spect for the forms of law in Soutl Carolina to insure the trial even of ; lieutenant governor when charged witl murder. That THlman fears convic tion, or that any of is friends fee concern for his ultimate safety iron the law, there is no evidence, thougl private vengeance has to be reckoneC with. It is possible, at least we vii indulge the hope, that a deliberat and cowardly murder will arous even South Carolina to assert tn majesty Of the law. The state will b tried and convicted by the publi opinion of the country if Tillman not. Press.

A MEXICAN PRINCE.
Man Who Has Made Millions Out of Mine Travels in Most Lux
 urious Style.
A telegram from Chihuahua, Mex

A telegram from Chihuahua, Mex ico, says:
 Pedro Alvarado, the owner of the famous Palmillo mine. situated near Parral, Mex, which has yielded him more than $50, ,O00, 900 during the past three years, has been the central fig ure of interest in this city during the past several days. When he discovered the rich ledge which has yielded him so much wealth Alvarado was a poor peon miner working for 90 cents per day. He recently offered to pay the public debt of Mexico. He arrived here a few days ago with his family and about thirty relatives. The party travelled from Parral in princely style on special train of thitreen cars. On their arrival here twenty four car riages awaited them to take them to the hotel
 The cause of the wealthy miners coming to the city was to bring his wife to dentist, and he took advan tage of the opportunity to give all of his relatives royal time. Many of them had never been on at rain be- fore. Alvarado is spending money with a lavish hand and is said to have made one contribution of S50, 900 to charity since his arrival here. He has with him a strongly guarded chest which is said to contain several hun dred thousand dollars in money.
