known as the Prospectors' Alliance.
The object of the organization is for
the mutual protection of mine opera

who were working under contract il
mines in the vicinity of Lynx creek
were compelled to quit work and leave
their contracts unfinished and this &C

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

1t is rumored that an immense body
of rich ore has been encountered in
one of the drifts from the 400 level of
the San Francisco mine, Cedar Valley.
Superintendent Pickerell is getting
in machinery for the mill and mine,
a big compressor plant having gone
out few days ago. This plant will
be installed at the mine and air drills
put in for shaft and drift work. In
der the present management the mine
has been brought to high state of
development, so much so that it is
thought advisable to equip the mill
with late machinery and keep it run
ming on ore from the development
now being carried on. No stopping will
be done for some time. -Mohave

About two weeks ago when the
pumps in the mine of the Tombstone
mines we're forcing from the 700 foot
level >, 100000 gallons per day of q
hours, a man who stood vigil turned
the valve which he was supposed to
keep open and assembled to the surface
for an hour, says the Prospector.
When he descended, his accustomed
station was buried beneath several
feet of water; the pumps had stopped 4;
and work that had required many
months and large sums of money to
put in successful operation had been
delayed. The water continued to rise
in the big shaft until the valve was 60
feet below the surface. Two divers
were sent for, who arrived from San
Francisco yesterday, and in less time
than is required to tell this story
steam was turned Oh by them, and
the ponderous machinery commenced
to lift the water from the lower levels.

with the party of Chicago capitalists
who have been visiting the properties
of the Climax Gold company, the
Braganza Gold Mining company and
the Merchants Mining company in

they might be, for the latter two are
already good dividend payers and there
is no doubt but that the Climax Gold
company has a property that will take
its place among the regular dividend
payers in short time, as the showing
is simply wonderful, and as soon as
the mill is completed and put in
operation there is an abundance OF
splendid ore ready to be turned into

the last three weeks have had it in
one of the Phenix machine shops, or
at least the parts necessary to recon-
struct. This morning it will be ship
ped to Wickenburg and will be erect
ed on the west side of the railroad
track there and about 800 yards south
of the depot. A good boiler and all
other necessary machinery has been
purchased and the work of erection
will proceed without delay. There is
already carload of coke on hand
and they are promised that sufficient
ore to start with will be hauled in
during the next ten days This is
not large plant but the promoters,
Tom Elder, W. S. Rees and asso-
ciates think it will demonstrate
whether or not that town really wants
a smelter and if it can be made to pay
its capacity can be increased. -Repub-

Owing to an accident to the pump
ing plant for the Iron King mine the
new mill was unable to start up this
week, but Mr.. Blanchard hopes to
have the stamps dropping by Monday
or Tuesday of next week. The mill
has been in readiness for several days
but considerable difficulty has been
experienced in getting the water up
from the river in sufficient quantities
to justify starting up the big 100 ton
mill. A good stream of water was
pouring into the reservoir yester
day, however, and it is now thought
there will be no further trouble.

less Lawson was shot by an unknown
party. thought to be Burrows Shihlet,
about half past nine O'Clock Sunday
nipht July 26th at Adam Shifllett's, In
Blackwell's Hollow, in Abemarle county,
while playing in tho yard with Adam
shiflett's children, who were LaWson's
grandchildren.
Nineteen buckshot entered his back. and
one the arm, His liver, right kidney and
bowels were much lacerated. But one
shot was fired. Lawson lived but an hour
and claimed that Burrows Shflilet shot
him.
Lawson served a term OF two years
in the State prison for barn burning upon
the oath of Shiftlett, which IS to some OK
tent doubted at present. Since that time
Lawson and Shifflet were together IN
gang of fifteen year ago. and white
capped a man on account OF woman
whom Lawson has been living With since
that time.
The two men havo been enemies since
over the booty OF the victors.
About January l, 1903, the two pc
came involved In an alteration near
Shiffiott's home over this matter ano
shiflet emptied both barrels OF a shot
gun in Lawson's back.
rhereupon Lawson took out warrant
for Shiffiett, who has ben in west Vir-

1878 for the murder Of Dave Lawson.
Jess Lawson was a nephew OF Dave
awson and first cousin to Tom Law

years ago.
This makes eight times Lawson has
been hred on, five taking effect, the last
being fatal Shot once In the neck With
n revolver, once having all his front teeth
shot out and the other three shot as
just related.
So far no attempt has been made to
arrest Shtflett, who already has several
indictments against him.
He has been seen walking boldly along
the road leading through the Hollow, and
defies the officers of the law to lay hands
on him. Shifiett's Hollow lies in Green
county.

has been but one murder In this Hollow
