RICH GOLD STRIKE
Au Eight Foot Ledge of Unusual Rich.
 ness, Near Mayer.

It has often been remarked that most been discovered accidentally What has all the earrnarks of a very important discovery was made a few days ago two and a half miles east of Mayer. says the Journal Miner. While it was not altogether an accidental find, it can be classed almost as such, as it was made in a section that has been travelled over for the past thirty years and within very short distance of the wagon road running between Mayer and Stoddard.
 The lucky discoverers are Messrs Thornton and tinsley and another man whose name was not learned While prospecting in the place named one of them noticed a cropping of white quartz, and in breaking it open found q great handful of quartz inside of il that was studded with gold The sam ple would run away in the thousands They immediately started work on il and are now down twenty-five feet where the ledge is eight feet wide and contains high-grade ore. Of course the whole eight feet is not of the uuali- ty mentioned above, but it is ricr enough to satisfy almost any one anG encourage him to keep digging.
 Samples of the ore fom the find were brought into Prescott and they are cer tainly beauties and such as would de light the heart of prospector.

HOW SHERIFF LOVIN
 TRAILED M'K|NNEY
Tho Shsriff of MohaVo County
 Knows How
The Desperate Was Chased More Than Five Hundred Miles and Driv- en to Bay by Arizona Men.

Kingman. Ariz., April 23,-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- Now that the desperado Mckinney has been trailed to his lair and slain like wild beast it may be interesting to thd readers of The Republican to learn a few facts as to how it was done.
 There live in Arizona several tribes of Indians that are perfect trailer They have been taught from infancy to notice tracks and follow trails They are frequently called on to assist in trailing escaped criminals, as trailers compared to bloodhounds the blood hounds are not in it. In fact no com parison can be made. and the blood hound is let out and discarded in Sri zona.
 For the past three days the district court has been in session and a grand jury has been ferreting out and sitting matters and now the public can in- quire and learn facts about the whole affair. I write this article to correct | many statements made by correspond | ents of the press reports. On the even- | ing of the 10th instant while Sheriff Lovin was at the meeting of the Elks he was notified that a murder had been committed near Ishrom"s ranch. located in the foothills of Wallapai mountains. It is about forty miles | south of Kingman and twelve miles east of Yucca, a station on the Santa Fe railroad. There the sheriff learned | some facts and started at once and went to the San Francisco mine To- | cated about sixteen miles east of the ranch. The sheriff on his way came to l the two dead men, Blakie and Win | chester at the mine. He notified the acting coroner to hold an inquest and take the bodies to Kingman for burial. Lovin then returned to Kingman and made up his posse-Deputies Temple man and By and Indian Trailer Prime. | He had to return to Ishrom's ranch for the trailer to see the footprints of | Mckinney and the horse tracks. The posse followed the tracks across the Santa Fe railroad near Yucca and then crossed the Black mountains by the way of Warner Springs. This was a slow and rough trail to follow. They finally reached the Needles on the 18th. to find that Mckinney had purchased supplies the 11th, fully five days in ad- vance.
 At the Needles the sheriffs party | learned that a man answering the de- script!on of Mckinney had left Iven- pah. the end of the northern railroad, on the 18th, going north. The party chartered car. loaded in their horses and were hauled to Ivenpah during the night, thus gaining sixty miles; yet
 they were two days behind the bandit
 The trail was via Rushing Springs down the Amigos river, across Death valley to near Randsburg. where they got fresh horses and continued on to near Bakersfield and assisted in slay
 ing Mckinney.
 | This party followed the trail nearly five hundred miles. Over two hundred miles of the road was uninhabited-a l desert waste. Bad men, if they come | to Arizona thinking to have a good time or picnic will be mistaken, for a
 bad man has never got away alive. The Indian trailers never fail

GOLDEN EAGLE MINE.

Thompson & Barclay and F. J. Lund have secured a lease on the Golden Eagle mine, located about a mile north west of the Black Warrior plant. and about the same distance southeast of the Sultan group of gold mines. The property is owned by the J. B. Cornell estate of New York city, who have been keeping up the annual assessment thereon for the past twenty years. pre- vious to which time 1t was worked to a considera ble extent and many tons ot ore were taken out and treated at the Golden Eagle mill, in Miami Flat which gave very fair results for those days. The lessee, on examination Of the property. found the workings ani timbers in very good condition, and found considerable ore blocked out, from which they took assay samples that gave very gratifying results. They have put several men to work and will soon be taking ore, 100 tons of which they will make a test run on at the Kasser mill, if they can secure the mill for that purpose.-Globe Belt.

LITERARY NOTES.

Another straw which helps to show how strongly the wind is blowing in favor of physical culture for women is The Century's announcement of a gen. erously illustrated article on "Alh- letics for College Women" in it's May issue. Miss Alice Katharine Fallows visited Bryn Mawr, Wellesley. Smith, and Vassar to obtain material and facts which should prove or disprove the claims urged by advocates of ath- letics
 Five hundred Iowa farmers have tried the experiment of going into busi- ness for themselves, dealing in many staple articles used upon the farm, and buying all kinds of farm produce. In 1901 they transacted business to the amount O; S620,O0O, at an outlay of about s4000, inclusive of salaries, taxes, and insurance. In 1902, the volume of business was approximately s630, 900. Since these farmers organized their company thirteen years ago the busi- ness transacted has amounted to over GOO, and the expense of carrying it on has averaged S300O year. The story of this economical experiment, with suggestion of it's possibilities, told by w. s. Harwood. will be one of the features of the May Century.

A MINING DEAL.

One of the latest mining deals which will interest the people of this section was consummated in Tucson during the past few days, says the Citizen. It was the transfer of the War Eagle and the Lookout mines in the Yellowstone district north of Benson to the San Pedro Gold Mining and Milling com pany of Ohio. J. J. Pierce, the well known mining promoter, made the safe and it is not known what price was paid but it is known that the first pay ment of s1O.0O0 was made. MT. Pearce purchased this mine short while ago for few hundred dollars from a pros pector and developed it himself. It proved to be a good ledge about five feet wide and is rich in gold and cop per. The new company will put a force of men at work at once and de- velop the mine to it's fullest capacity. The company consists of some Ohio capitalists who intend to give the prop erty thorough test. Hoisting works and a mill will be erected as soon as the mine can be put in shape.

WICKENBURG MINES.

It is rumored about town that Ward N,rDonald and associates will soon start extensive work on their property in the Vulture district. The vein is said to be small but very high grade.
 Dr. Slusher, R. w. Jackson and oth- CTS have organized a company to ha ndle the old Ryland lead and silver mine below town. The property is a good one and considerable good ore was shipped from it in early days. being wagon freighted to Benson and San Francisco.
 Four or five men are being worked at the O'Brien mine, cleaning things up in general. preparatory to work being started on an extensive scale. A ten stamp mill is now on the property, but ten or twenty more will be added and a new pipe line put in before the mill is again started. The O'Brien is one of the best properties in this section and should make a record for the district when it once gets into active operation. News Herald.

MINING NOTES.

The Tri-Metal Smelling and Develop mert company has had the Starlight group of fifteen claims surveyed. These mines are nine miles south of San Car los, just outside the reservation line, and Kelly gulch running through some of the locations, gives abundant perm anent water. The formation is lime and porphyry and the ores are lead and copper, occurring often In pockets capped with iron. Six men are at work and a tunnel of one thousand feet will be run, and Q two thousand-foot tram way constructed. There are evidences of ancient workings all through this section, partially filled shafts and cuts, and in one place a tunnel has caved near the mouth and a pine tree more than foot in diameter Is growing on the old dump.-Globe Times.

 Professor w. H. Lampker from the borough of Silver King, paid Globe a short visit last week, says the Times.

 Improvements Proposed.

The Shannon concentrating and smelting plants are working to the en- tire satisfa ction of the mana cement, says the Copper Era. In addition to the eighteen Frue vanners two inn proved Standard tables are being add ed as an experiment. A contract has also been made for eighteen more Frues. which will be running within reasonable time. An ElspasS mill for regrinding has been put in place and will soon be in operation. The bri- quetting plant is completed and was put into commission this week. Work will soon be commenced on the grade for Q railroad above the concentrating plant which will do away with the ne- cessity of elevating the ore. survey Is also being made for a new outlet to Chase creek by which the steep grade from South Clifton to the plant will be avoided The survey will run between the Catholic burying ground and Chase creek and will connect with the Coro- nado railroad at LongfellOw, but may eventually be continued on to the mine. A store is under contemplation for the Shannon works, as well as at the mine A considerable amount of building will be done on Anderson Heights this year. It is also probable that a trolley line will connect the plant with Clifton. From this time on the town of Clifton will receive a vast amount of benefit from the Shannon company, which IS steadily increasing its force of men. A gasoline engine and equipment Tor hosting plant for the Coronado Min
 ing company arrived last week and will soon be put in place on the Sap phire mine, where the company will sink a 500-foot shaft. The Era is in formed that the company's treasury stock has been taken off the market. The stock is said to be worth about S10 per share. but is hard to get because no one wants to sell.

it was very exciting If not appreciated
by the audience, while it lasted, and the

business completely.
In some manner spark from the arc
light used in throwing the views on the
canvas came in contact with one Of the
films, and as these are made from cellu'
loid, highly iuflammable material, in
a second the whole apparatus was in a
blaze, the flames soon reaching to the
ceiling.
AS the machine was placed nearly in
the center of the audience and the peo-
pie were not aware of the fact that there
was nothing to explode about the appar-
atus, a panic was precipitated at once
and men, women and chilcren were soon
one struggling mass, endeavoring to get
out of the building.
Seats were torn from their foundation
and hats, coats, cloaks and other outer
wearing apparel was trampled over in
the mad rush towards the door, where
many were thrown down and only by
the efforts of few cooler heads, who
remained at the exit, and lifted those
who fell onto their feet again, were seri-
