TIE STARK COLD MINING co.

Among the prominent mining tran :actions of the past week. and associ- ated with the sale of the well known Hidden Treasure group. is the an- nouncement made of the organiza tion of the Stark Gold Mining company. with capital stock of s1.OOO. 900. The Incorporating of this company is the forerunner of the general develop ment If that property. The company is composed of Canton and Massillon. Ohio. people. while F.. S. Campbell, who negotiated the sale, is also iden- tiiied with them as general manager. and the practical head of the enter prise. He is well known as a miner in this section, and there is no doubt but tina. the future success of the company is assured. The Hidden Treasure ground covers several locations, and i in the operation of it 1t is favored by being in close proximity to a railroad. In the development work of the past tie best argument is made for the value of the ground at present, it be- ing a proposition which has paid it's way and in which the inability of it's owner to continue was too heavy an undertaking for individual effort. Practically all the work has been done
 
 being four shafts on it with depths of 60. 75. 100 and 175 feet respectively, in addition to which there are over 400 feet of drifting that connects these shafts. The future working of this property will be in the deepest shaft
 at the bottom of which the vein is stronger than at any point on the claim, an argument in favor of deep mining. At other workings on this claim the showing is good also, and generally considered or wherever any prospecting has been done, the results are more than satisfactory. One of the favorable features of the past work ing of this ground is shown in the extensive ore bodies that have been ! left in the mine, which together with that on the dump give measurement to justify the steady operation of a ten stamp mill for over one year, and all that is necessary is to hoist the ore to the surface, it being already block ed out, and of a paying grade. The ore is free milling, while the geological conditions are a strong Assure in the granite, accompanied by dikes of DOT phyry and diorite. the country rock being a pegmetite or metamorphosed granite. The new company has also oI dered for immediate delivery q ten stdmp quartz mill of the latest type, a 000-foot hoist pipe for their water line. all of which are to be in operation ny the first of next Januarys Build irgs are also being constructed, and business generally at the -line is ac- tive. Contemporaneously with the run ming of the mill will be the further de- velopmeunt of the mine. The equip ment ordered will cost in the 1eighbor- hood of $50 900. The sale of this prop

many Switchb2cks is seen. Some idea may be had of the highway from this point it's ruggedness and the obstacles in engineering when it is stated that in an air lire to the summit of Crazy Basin the distance is but two and one half miles, but before the iron horse reaches the summit it crawls upward to an elevation of over one thousand feet in a stretch of less than five miles From Middleton to the summit of Crazy Basin the maximum grade is three and oce-half per cent. Covering this distance there is a system of seven switchbaCks.
 A remarkable scene faces one here as he stands on the crest of the Basin and looks backward. In all the his tory of railroading it is said there is no similar spectacle presented. Look ing in an air line down the mountain for a distance of 5000 feet the track is seen clearly at five different grades. while also from the same elevation, the general panorama is indeed beau tiful and fascinating. The laying of track is now being pushed with vigor up the sides Of this mountain. and by the first of November trains will be running to the summit. where temp orary station will be esta blished. From this latter point the grade is building tc the Crown King. distant about five miles. The same obstacles face the road here as before. and the grade from the summit to the King will likewise be upward and on a three and one-half percent basis with some tun- nel work besides. In the C0nstruc- tion of this road, no other route was feasible than that adopted, nor could any other method than switch backs be introduced to successfully overcome what nature had placed in it's path.
 From Turkey Creek station, three miles below Middleton. the grade is a succession of serpentine stretches to the summit of Crazy Basin. and from CeCar Canyon to the Grown King mine. the read climbs upward through one canyon and another on three and one-half per cent. grade. all being built on a curve and covering a dis tance of nearly twenty miles. In building the roadway some idea of the expense may be arrived at by mention that there were thousands and thou

FEATS OF RAILROAD ENGINEER
 ING.

In the annals of railroad engineer ing in the west there is no undertaking that more forcibly or more agreeably impresses one thar does that today in evidence in the road that is vending its way to the Bradshaw mountains Along this highway and from where the steel bands crawl down the north ern crest of Cedar Canyon to where the grade struggles upward to the southern summit of Crazy basin. it is a scene that echoes the triumph of men in their ingenuity. There is no paral- Tel road anywhere in the west to com pare with it. From the day the road descended to the canyons or the Brau- shaw foothills and until it reaches the goal stakes at the Crown King mine. the task has been and will be one in which the ingenuity of engineering pushes aside the many obstacles na- ture has placed in it's path. At no point in Arizona or for that matter in the southwest, has there been com batted such gigantic obstacles of the creation as are here met with. l have talked with men who have followed the construction of this road from the beginning. and they are all of the opinion that it is a remarka ble rail- road l have also talked with those who are on the ground and identified with that section. and they are so profoundly impressed with it that they simply say .'it takes nerve to build it" Whether a man is located in that sec ton. or whether he be but a travel2r to it, all agree and are in harmony that as an engineering proposition, as a pilot of the mining industry, as supporter tc everything that desires material assistance, it is signal achievement of the men and the money behind it. and particularly of the president of the $.

A fond Kensington father was giving advice to his young son the other day. Among other things he said: If you

Anvils, Forges, Blacksmith Coal, Candles, Steel, Powder, Caps..,...

 He refused to do so but told his aSsail- ants that they could say nothing that would provoke him into an encounter with them at that time.
 Whatever Anderson may be he was never accused of cowardice. He has always been ready to meet his enemies with revolver or fists and he has gen orally avoided taking second money. The men who abused him could not have been hired to say the same things to him on the desert near Agua Cali ente.
 No one was greater surprised by the verdict than he was. He was confident of acquittal. Speaking of the result in jail yesterday without any bitterness toward the jury he said he could not see how the verdict had been rendered. He believed that it practically nullified the law of self defense. He further said that the jury might have gathered from the evidence distorted as it was that he was guilty of murder, but if he was not guilty of that crime he must have been innocent of any other in the death of Cameron.
 It is learned that the members Of the jury had wide views or the subject On one ballot there were two votes for murder, four for murder in the second degree. four for manslaughter and two for acquittal

R. ?. sherman. who has for several months been acquainting hims If with the details of the business. Mir. Heap resigned this position for the purpose of giving his entire time to the man agement of the water company and the experimenting of the improvements to be made at once.
 Tn respect of these improvements MT Heap said he told the company just what had to be done to provide Phoenix with a first-class water system for grown city. He says they have plenty of wells, an ample water supply. and all the power machinery there can pos sibly be any use for. that recently in stalled being made to order and as good as is to be had. The only thing needed is q better distributing plant The gentlemen composing the company, with MT. Heap. called upon William Mulholland, who has been for thirty years the engineer and general super intendent of the Los Angeles city water company. who built the works and whose reputation as d hydraulic engineer is unquestioned MT. Mul- holland was employed as a consulting engineer by the Phoenix water cOmpan9. and to him was assigned the work of planning fer this city an up-to-date water distributing system; one that is fully adequate to present needs, ani one that can be enlarged as the growth Of the city demands. These plans aTa to be finished within the next week if possible and they will then be made public and will be open to criticism and suggestion.
 In the meantime an order has been placed for Sl5O,OOO worth of cast iron pipe. As all who are posted in such matters are aware. it is hard to get iron products of any sort on short no- tice, but the pipe ordered will be de livered as soon as possible. Mir. Heap says he does not like to set a date toJ early for fear Of being accused of de- ception in the event of any necessary delay, but he expects five carloads Of 16-inch pipe in three or four weeks and

 The construction of the new syGt9m win be under the direction of Frank C. Priestiy. who is constructing engineer for the C. C. Moore machinery company of San Francisco. the largest house on the coast, and under whose supervision the new city railroad power plant was constructed.
 Just to show that it is in earnest and proposes to make these improvements as soon as possible. the company is now engaged in laying a 16-inch pipe from the works to Washington street. along Arizona avenue. This is in addition to the Finch pipe already there. and both pipes will be used to feed the Washing ton-street main. Mr. Heap says he proposes to make plant the city will be proud of. and all he asks is to be let alone long enough ro do it.

THE ANDERSON TRIAL
Verdict Was the Principal Subject of
 Discussion Yesterday.

The principal subject of discussion yesterday was the conviction the night before of Josiah Anderson of man. slaughter for the killing of William Cameron. r. turned out that there had been an overwhelming opinion that Anderson would be acquitted. It was admitted that the jury which convicted him was one of the best that had ever been impaneled in this county. A bet ter jury could rot have been collected for the trial of d civil case. The mem bers are men of superior intelligence but it was said that they were so strongly in favor of the maintenance of law and order that a man charged with a crime would have difficulty in getting d fair hearing.
 The jury heard more of the evidence than any of the spectators but most of the spectators were of the opinion that some of the evidence against An dersOn was perjureds that there was too much feeling on the part of the wit nesses.
 A strong effort had been made by some of the witr esses in the course of the last week to make Anderson com init some act which would still further prejudice his case. Last Friday night Anderson was in a saloon when brother of Cameron and Romig the principal witness for the territory en- tered and seeing him began abusing him in the most shameful manner. One of them finally offered to go out into the street with him and shoot it out There was no expectation when the offer was made that it would be ac- cepted for as Anderson told them. he had enough trouble on his hands" and Leside he was not armed. The manner of the two became so violent that the proprietor of the saloon slipped gun along the bar within the reach Of An derson to enable him to call the bluff
