An Aerial War Ship.

A telegram from London says that
if the hopes of DR.. F. A. Barton are
fulfilled he will soon rise in and steer
the most wonderful and terrible air
ship in the world.
The monster, which is at once
balloon and war ship, is now in
shed at the Alexandra palace, and it
is DR.. Barton's aim to carry his craft
from the palace around st. Paul's
cathedral and back to its shed again.
The Carton airship is a combination
of cylindrical balloon with movable
aeroplanes. The latter are fixed on a
frame between the balloon and the
car and depress or raise the ship.
There are thirty of them in three
banks of ten. The balloon is the
largest in existence, being l76 feet
long and 43 feet in diameter. with a
lifting power of I6. $50 pounds. 1t has
shot. There will be captain and a
crew of six. Two will be on the mo-
tor deck, where they will look after
the fifty horse power motors and the
aeroplanes. The captain will control
all valves and pressure gauges and
communicate with the crew by tele
graph. Each motor drives two triple
six bladed propellers, three on each
side of the deck, which will make 200
revolutions per minute and drive the
vessel at twenty miles an. hour. The
which weighs l6, 900 pounds.
is steered by an immense rudder at
the stern and it is kept on an even
keel, even though the crew walk about
the deck by the pumping of water
from forward to an aft tank or vice
versa.
DIR. Barton is in treaty with several
and is asking 500, 600
for the sole rights or $50, 600 for a
single ship. As bomb dropping war
vessel it would be terrible engine of
warfare.

Account of Killing.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Nevin tele-
phoned to the sherif's office this
morning that he would be over this
evening with the Indian who killed a
fellow Indian named Frog at Cotton
wood on Monday night. He said the
fight was the result of bad feeling that
had existed for some time between
two tribes of Indians who we're camp
ed near Cottonwood, one tribe being
what is known as the Apache Mohaves
and the other the Tonic Apaches. The
bad feeling was over the medicine
men of the respective tribes. Frog,
who was killed, was the Apache Mo
have medicine man and the slayer,
who goes by the name of Tonic
Charley. was the medicine man of the
Tonic Apaches, and a quarrel arose
between them when Charley shot at
Frog who started to run. Charley
fired two more shots, the last one
Frog in the thigh cutting
large blood vessel and the wounded
man bled to death before the flow
could be stopped. Charley is said to
have been considered a dangerous
character.

Attractive Home Wedding.

The marriage of Archie f. Lockhart
and Miss Louise Marguerite Mccoy
took place on the afternoon of
I Wednesday. December %, at 30
o'clock at the residence of the BRIDES
( parents, in West Prescott, in the pres
ence of a large circle of relatives and
friends. The ceremony, which united
the lives of the two young people, as
their hearts had already been united
by love, was performed by Rev. E. B.
Taft, of the Baptist church.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. j. E. Mccoy, and is a
young lady of charming personality,
rare grace and fine accomplishments ;
handsome of feature, as we'll as beau
-tiful in character, her very presence
being an inspiration to goodness.
The parlor of the residence where
the ceremony was performed was most
beautifully and artistically decorated
for the occasion, the color scheme be-
ing green and white and the decora-
tions consisting of smilax and aspara-
gus vines, evergreens, white carna-
tions, narcissus blooms, and silk rib
bons. a canopy of evergreens trim
med with white silk ribbons was
erected on the east side of the parlor
and beneath which the marriage cere-
mony was performed.
In the dining room, where a sump-
tuous wedding dinner was served to
the guests, the decorations we're of
evergreens and pink ribbons, arranged
in festoons over the table, and de.
pending from tho chandeliers 'produc-
ing a very beautiful effect.
The groom's best man was Chester
Butuer. and the brides maid Miss
Maud Clark. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the couple we're the recip-
tents of the most hearty congratula-
tions of the assembled guests as we'll
as of numerous congratulations from
friends abroad by telegraph.
The groom has been resident of
Prescott for two or three years, and
during that time has won a host of
friends by his genial and affable man
ners. as well as by the exercise of

The Hector group, belonging to
Newton Marsh and John B. Martin
has an immense ledge of copper gold
ore, being visible on the surface for
the entire length of the claims and
assays we'll in gold and copper. The
survey for the railway crosses this

W. A. Bondurant and Mr.. Curtis
passed through Harrisburg a few days
since en- route to Quartzsite where
they will erect stamp mill for the
treatment of ores from the Plomosa
camp, in which Mr.. Bondurant is in
terested.
Quartzsite also presents very pros
porous outlook. Several sales have
lately been consummated and others
are on the tapis.
Merchants say they are buying gold
dust every day which is not surpris-
ing when one remembers that over
$50, 600, 900 have been taken from the
dry placers, within a radius of
twenty miles from Quartzsite, some
authorities even place the output at
more than the above figures. Large
bodies of pay gravel are known to ex-
list and will some day be worked when
capital can be found to place ma
chinery on the ground for that pur-
pose.
The Socorro mine will again begin
operations after the holidays. They
have large body of ore, good hoist
and equipped with a fine twenty
stamp mill, with an up to date cyan
iding plant attached, with large
amount of wood on hand and there
seems no reasonable cause for such a
property to be imperative.
DR.. o. L. Geer is working his Min
eral Belt property, north of the So
zorro, and contemplates the erection
of mill so the writer is informed
The doctor is also doing considerable
work near Micky Dolan's property, in
the Hacuavars.
Our desert city is at present a little
quiet, owing principally 10 the fact
that almost every one is in the hills
doing assessment work. The weather

CITY IN NEED OF MONEY.

The meeting held in Hotel Burke
yesterday afternoon, from which news
paper men were not only excluded by
Mayor Burke, but who were urged not
to make any mention of the meeting,
was for the purpose of discussing the
question of raising money to extend
the city sewer from its present outlet
to a point further down the creek.
Just why the mayor should have de-
sired to keep the meeting, or its OBJ
jects secret is not apparent, as the ed
itor of the Journal Miner has been in
formed that the mayor had been re-
quested to invite the newspaper rep
resentatives to be present.
1t is mistaken notion on the part
of some people that public matters
can be kept secret, and whenever such
an attempt is made, the cause sought
to be shielded is injured more by
throwing around it cloak of secrecy
than if the proceedings were held in
the open.
The reason for calling together rep
resentative business men of the town
yesterday was the fact that the present
outlet of the city sewer is located on
the military reservation, and it is nat
urally objected to by the military au-
thorities. The city voted an issue Of
bonds some time since for the purpose
of extending the sewer to a point
further down the creek. While it is
reported that arrangements have been
made for the sale of the bonds, delays
have occurred in getting them ready
for marketing while the necessity for
extending the sewer has grown rather
than diminished.
The proposition discussed yesterday
was for the business men of the town
to unite in securing some money from
the local banks, for immediate use,
the money thus raised, together with
the interest, to be paid back from the
proceeds of the sale of the bonds. The
proposition met with favor from those
present and took tangible shape to-
wards its immediate accomplishment.

ANALYSIS OF EXPENSES.

If the figures given out in the grand
jury report is correct, and there
seems to be no good reason for disput-
ing them, the cost for maintaining
the living INDECENT of this county and
for the burial of the dead during the
years 1901, 1902 and the first three
quarters of 1903 is, respectively as fol-
lows: s1l, 677. So; SO, 1878 and So, =
077.5O. This represents four items,
the cost of maintaining the inmates of
the county hospital, our door relief,
county physician and burial of dead.
The hospital alone, runs from $500
to 80, 900 per year, the sexpenses for
last year according to this report, in
GLIDING the amount carried over to
this year amounting to SO, OF. 88.
Deducting this amount from the total
of the first nine months for this year,
and assuming that the average for the
remaining quarter will equal to those
of the first three quarters and it gives
an estimated amount of S86l7.5 for
the present year.
The table of expenditures, as pub
Hshed in Tuesdays issue, should 6e
cut out by every tax payer, and kept
for future reference, as it will bear a
close study.

Harrisburg, Ariz., Dec. 21.-The
mining outlook in this section is GER
tainly very fiattering and the usual
activity and development that has
been characteristic for the past few
months is still visible Several prom
inent mining men representing east
ern people have been looking over the
mineral resources and express them
selves as we'll pleased with what they
have seen.
Assessment work is being done and
many new locations are being made,
while several old properties are being
reopened.
The Harqua Hala mines are about
to be again operated and the enor-
nous production of the past to be re-
peated is a possibility.
The Cash Entry group, north from
the Harqua Hala properties, will be
worked by eastern parties after the
holidays are over. This property is
situated on the same contact and
dyke, and has many conditions similar
to those of the Bonanza mine and
may reasonably be supposed to de-
velop into a big producer. Mr..
Young, of Pittsburg, Pa, is now in
the east and on his return operations
will be begun.
]. W. Hobbs and Jack Arnold are
working their properties west from
Cunningham Pass, and have some high
grade ore.
VIM. Beckman and Joe Whitehouse
are opening up fine showing in this
same neighborhood.
l.. B Hogue, owner of the Della
group, with his expert, paid visit to
his property last week and will let
contracts for extensive work when he
returns from his home in California
where he has gone to spend the holt
days.
DR.. P. F. Youngling, superintend-
ent of the Yellow Bird Gold Mining
company is preparing to work more
men on his properties twenty miles
west from Harrisburg.
The Woods Investment company is
working its Wellington group of thirty
claims and has an exceptional good
showing. Steve McIntire is their sup
erintendent and knows how to work a
property to the best advantage.
W. S. Wilson has outfitted and taken
a wagon loaded with supplies to his
properties lying one mile south from
the Yellow Bird. He has large body
of free milling ore and undoubtedly
will some day rank among the large
producers of the Yellow metal.

property and repairing his ten stamp

Horrible Death of Frank Willis.

A horrible death occurred at the
mining camp of Walker this morning,
the victim being Frank Willis, a
miner. He occupied a small tent
house alone, and went to bed about
eleven o'clock last night apparently
in good health and perfectly sober.
About two O'Clock a miner by the
name of Joseph Foster discovered that
the tent occupied by Willis was en-
veloped in flames. He gave an alarm
and several other persons we're soon
on hand but the building burned so
fiercely and so quickly that it was i'm
possible to reach Mr.. Willis, Iwho
could be seen lying on his bed appar-
emily unconscious. T he body was
taken from the ruins of the building
as soon as it could be reached, but
life was then extinct. 1t is thought
by those who first saw the horrible
sight that the victim must have been
suffocsted into Inconsistencies by
the smoke before the flame broke out.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Deceased was a native of this coun-
ty, having been born and raised in the
Verde valley. He has brother work
ing at McCabe, who was notified of
the awful death and he went imme-
diately to Walker.
Justice of the Peace Ross empaneled
jury and held an inquest, after
which the remains were taken in
charge by P. Mohn & Co., of this city.
The mother of the dead man was tel
egraphed to in Los Angeles and she
will leave that city tonight arriving
here tomorrow night, after which the
