important Mining Deal.

Thursday John Henderson, presi-
dent of the Porvenir de Sonora, 5. A,
bought for his company all of Manuel
Santa Cruz interest in the Proveedora
de Orc group of mines consisting of
eighty pertenencias, situated III the
U res district sixteen miles east of Poza
station on the Sonora railroad. The
VIDErTE reporter was unable to learn
the price paid by MIR. Henderson, but
it is said to have been five figures. Mr..
Henderson ownes a half interest in
the properties which are said to be
valuable and give promise of at no
distant day making him a rich man.
Just three miles from these mines Is
the Isabel gold mine owned by Messrs
Henderson and Santa Cruz which is
reported very rich.
If all signs do not fail one of these
bright days John Henderson will wake
up a millionaire and his friends will
be made happy as result. He is one
of the pioneer mining men in Sonora
and what he does not know about
mining in that state is not worth
knowing.
Mr.. Henderson is also general man
ager of the Coast Line Copper COM
pany of which he is one of the piinci-
pal stockholders, and superintendent
of the Arizona-MeAican Copper COM
pany, another incorporation in which
he is heavily interested. His many
duties keep him hustling but with the
aid of William Inman, a lifelong
friends and his right hand man-also
mining man of many years pract-
ical experience-he manages to keep
all of his appointments and ''gets
there" every time. Thursday morn
ing Mr.. Henderson left for Phoenix to
attend directors meeting of the
Arizona-Mexican Copper company,
which meets today.

Hayden soon learned the Chinaman

and as he surmised, was attempting to
get over the line. In distress the lines
of nationally are obliterated, and all
men are brothers, so Hayden asked
the syellow periP' to come in and make
use of their shelter.
Finding they could not sleep on &C
count of the bitter cold, Hayden got
the paper with the odd figures up it.,
and showing it to their visitor asked if
he knew the meaning of it. The
Chinaman took it before the fire,
looked it over carefully and with a
peculiar twinkle in his eye said it was

Machine Shop Burned.

Tuesday night the fine large black
smith and machine shop of A. S. Noon
was completely destroyed by fire. Loss
about So, 200; insurance $4,000. The
fire started in one corner of the shop
where hay was kept; how the hay
caught fire may possibly never be
known. When first seen flames were
coming out under the iron roof, which
in a few minutes was almost red hot,
and made the work of the firemen
both dangerous and difficult. The fire
boys and large number of citizens
tried to extinguish the flames but to
no avail and the building with most
of its contents was soon pile of ruins
The owner, Mr.. Noon, who is down at
the Yerkes Mining Camp superintend-
ing the erection of mining machinery,
will return home next week, and a
new building will at once be put up
on the site of the old one.

Lon Bass Killed.

Lon Bass, who was shot and in
stantly killed in his saloon at Douglas
last Sunday night by Ranger Webb,
resided a number of years before going
line.
The Tombstone Prospector of Mon
day, February 9th, says:
"From the particulars received it
seems that Rangers Webb and Nc
Donald entered the saloon of Lon Bass,
on Sixth Street, where all the resorts
are located; they had just stepped in
side of the door when Lon Bass came
out from behind the bar with a six
shooter and coming toward Webb
calling him vile names and threatening
to kill him and made move to pull a
gun but Webb was too quick for him
and got his gun out fired first killing
Bass instantly. Webb not knowing he
had killed Bass fired second shot
which missed Bass and accidently
struck his fellow Ran ger, Lonnie Nc
Donald in the stomach and seriously
wounding him"
The Prospector of February 18th
said: Ranger w w Webb, who shot
Lorenzo Bass at Duglas on Sunday
night last, was brought over this
morning by Sheriff Lewis and Captain
kynning of the Rangers and placed in
the county Jail where he will be held
until Friday, the 18th, when he will
be taken back to Douglas and given a
preliminary examination before Judge
johnson. After the coroner's jury
had exonorated Webb he was immed-
lately arrested by the officers on a
charge of murder and will be given
hearing as has been stated above. In
conversation regarding the case Cap
tain Rynning stated that wv ebb had
to kill Bass or be killed himself" and
added, She is just as anxious as anyone
to have an examination held so that
he could be cleared of the matter"
Here in Nogales Lon Bass was
known as quiet peaceable man who,
while he would not seek trouble, would
not be imposed upon. His children
of which there are four in Nogales,
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity. The two elder ones, Mrs.
Frank Main and Miss Annie Bass,
left Tuesday morning for Douglas to
attend the funeral of their father.
