Waiting for His Partner

John Goodhoe of Prescott is
camped in Martinez, waiting for
his partner, P. Markham. Re
Gently they made discovery that
surprised them. They did some
prospecting near where an old de
serted hole had been dug and had
some of the rock assayed and found
that it carried fabulous values in
silver and considerable copper with
a trace of gold. They think they
have secured bond on the prop
erty which will result in its being
developed more fully in the near
future.

Wednesday night was the night
of the season III Congress. A grand
ball was arranged as a token OF
respect to C. Heese Jr. of the hos

pital. Mr.. Heese leaves today for
his old home at Toledo, 0. He has
been very busy for the last several
months and deserves a vacation,
and his many friends wish him
the genuine time that he deserves.
We realize that it is not right to
tell tales that are founded upon
rumor, but if we are to give any
credence to what we have heard
from that source, we would advise
all the young ladies of Congress
that he is no longer to be consid-
cred as a good catch, but that he
considered as "as good as caught .
If Dame Rumor is right, we hereby
congratulate Mr.. Heese upon his
success in getting caught, but il
Dame Rumor has fooled us, we
hereby apologize to the young lady
who will some day be proud to call
herself Mrs. Heese.

Looks Good to "Wc~Alls"

G. B. Genung was in town Mon
day from his camp out near Rich
hill. He is very enthusiastic about
the rich ore that is being taken out
by Frank Genung and "Tex." He
believes that he has struck the big
gest thing in the country and is
glad that the bond he recently
gave on the property has expired.
The ledge on which the work is
now being done is four feet wide
and carries, in numerous pockets
scattered all through it, gold to the
value of 81 pound, so reports say
that come from the camp. We

TO PUT A MILL
Chester T. Kennan Takes a Crew
Out TO Signal

wv W SA$5SSSAA
Chester T. Kennan has returned
to his new mining camp out on the
desert near Signal. He was accom-
panied this time by large force of
good carpenters, who have gone
out to build a 1O-stamp mill and
camphouses, The work will be
under the direction of A. E. Taber
of Prescott. He will be assisted
by A. v. Kelley, W. w. Morris, w.
Phillips, A. 0. Taber, carpenters,
and c. A. French, stonemason, all
of Prescott. OF the other members
of the party we failed to learn the
names. Robert II. Wheeler of Chi
cago will have charge of the book
keeping department. Mr.. Kennan
will direct the work in person.
The heavy freighting for the
camp will be done from Yucca, as
that point affords cheaper rate.
The building will be erected for
lO-stamp mill, but only five stamps
will be put in till a test run is made
on the ores. If they work to the
satisfaction of the company then
the other five will be put in at
once, The fact that everything is
to be put in readiness for a TO-
stamp mill proves that the conf
dence of the company is strong in
the property,
Outsiders have told that there is
a running stream alongside of the
property. If this is the case. Mr..
Kennan has pounced upon one of
the handiest mining propositions in

have to change or congratulations

Mrs. r. A.. Hamilton, widowed lady
living five miles east of Auxvasse, at 2
