To JOHN BENNETT, JR.:
You are hereby notified that have expended
during the years 1901 and 1902, Six Hundred
dollars in labor and Improvements upon the
Crown Point, COpperopolis and Iron Crown
mining claims, situated in the Santa Maria
mining district, Yuma County, Arizona, To-
Gated February 9th, 1897, the notices of which
are recorded with the County Recorder of
Yuma County, Arizona, in order to hold said
claims under the provisions of Section 1924 OF
the Revised Statutes of the United States and
the amendments thereto concerning annual
labor upon mining claims, it being the amount
required to hold said claims for the period
ending December 81, 1902.
And if, within ninety (90) days from the
personal service of this notice, or within
ninety (9O) days after the publication hereof,
you fail or refuse to contribute your proportion
of said expenditure as co-owner, your interest
in the said mining claims will become the
property of the subscriber, your co-owner, who
has made the required expenditure by the

Josiah Anderson was this week
convicted Of manslaughter for the
killing of VIM. Cameron. 1t bad
been the general impression among
the people of Phoenix, where the
trial was conducted, that Anderson
would be acquitted. But it seems
that the men under oath to try the
case looked on the matter differ
emily from what the bystanders did.
Anyway, we have heard some very
hign compliments of the handling
of the case by the attorneys on both
sides. And it is likely that a new

Mr., McCrary went on to Phoenix
and spent several days. He likes
Arizona, all except the hot days in
Phoenix, and so he went to Pres
colt, where he hopes to get relief
from the heat, and we are sure that
he will not be disappointed.
The Arizona News, published in
Phoenix, has discontinued for it's
regular summer vacation. The
publishers have gotten up a good
clean sheet, full of interesting news
OF Importance, and they have done
good service for the territory. Ad-
vertising is what wins, and every
paper of such high standard is
strong booster for the territory.
The News will be run again next
season as usual.
Great interest has been mani
tested in the pic mic that was pulled
off at Iron Springs today. A large
number from Phoenix passed
through this morning. The affair
had been we'll advertised, and as
result very large and jolly crowd
took advantage of the opportunity
to spend a day with nature, away
from the glories, we mean heat, of
the summer. Quite number of
Wickenburg people went up on the
excursion.
II. E. Wilson, of the firm of
Nickerson & Wilson, and president
of the Electra Mining and Milling
Co., left last Saturday for Denver,
and probably arrived Monday, and
will tell Colorado people of the
greatness of the Wickenburg dis
trict in general and the Electra
mine in particular. President
Wilson will place a large amount
OF stock among Denver capitalists,
and probably induce a number to
visit this section of the country.

the Wickenburg NEwsHERALD, re-

Wickenburg certainly has a great
future, though there is nothing
sensational taking place just now.
