accept vague and unsupported the
cries is furnished by the brief career
of the Roll Flyers. a sect led by Wis
ions Of judgment more than by Wis
ions Of industrial effort, which recent
Iy appeared in the South They be-
Heved that none of their band would

from Northern Kentucky in search of
the promised land where they should
abide in peace and plenty till all
things should be made new for their
sakes- At Bowling Green they held
meetings for a while and a man Of

There has been also some effcrt to

Price and Murphy Indicted

Eleven joint indictments have
been found against Messrs. Price
and Murphy of the Surveyor Gen
erals office. This case is of espe-
cial importance to mining people,
for it involves the question Of
whether it is right for the Surveyor
Generals office to charge extra fees
for it's work in connection with the
patenting of mining claims. The
Government holds that it is not
legal, and hence not right. The
Surveyor General holds that it is
legal, because it has long been Gus
tomary. And there you are.

Congress and Octave. He has con

near Prescott. Mr.. Cooley may be
what the vernacular of an ungodly
Westerner would term a tender

peaarnce of sucker" nor does he
pursue the way of a ''greenhorn."
He is visiting the big producer

so that he may be able to see what
mining is in all branches and in
all stages Of its advancement. II
more people would adopt his style
there would be proportionately less
distrust of, and fewer losses in the

SUCCESSFUL RUN
Has Been Made by the Wickenburg
Smelter

The Wickenburg Mining& Smelt-
ing Company made it's first sue
cessful run Thursday and was fol-
lowing it up by another one yester-
day morning. We were informed
that Garcia, the assayer, had tested
the tailings and found that prac-
tically all the values had been
saved, and the matte showed very
high percentage of purity. Seven
5O0-pound bars of copper matte
were turned out Thursday. This
has made the hearts of many Wick
enburgers glad. Indications now
are that the smelter will be big
success. The ores in that vicinity
will stand smelling, and, now that
the smelter men have proven their
ability, it will be the easiest mat
ter in the world to get an abund-
ance of ore. Three cheers for the

A SUCCESSFUL RUN
OF THE ORC CRANDE'S NEW
STAMP MILL
Twenty Tons Of SIS Ore Sue
cessfuIIy Run Through
the Stamps

The 5 stamp mill on the Orc
Grande mine has been at work for
several days. Mr.. Upton made a
trip up to Prescott this week, tax
ing along the result of short run,
which averaged about SIS per ton
on the plates. Some of the same
people who have always had so
very much to say about the Orc
lGrande mine have recently been
making smart cracks about the
5-stamp mill that the company has
had put up in order to make sure
that the ore could be successfully
treated by the process proposed. If
these peoples knocking propensl-
ties could be stilled, or they could
be made to attend to their own
business, it would be good thing
for the country. The Orc Grande
mine is we'll developed PROPOSE
ton, having an amount of good
ore in sight, besides a large amount
of pay ore on the dumps. The
company knows the uncertainty of
all mining propositions and wanted
TO make sure that they were right
before putting up 100-stamp mill.
The ore that is being milled now
is being taken from the mine and
is really the result of a lot of sam
Piles taken from all parts of the.
mine From twenty tons a $500
bar of fine bullion was taken out.
This was not sample from any
particular pay shoot, but was re-
suit of samples taken throughout
the entire property. Af'er few
more test runs the property will be
equipped with the increased num-
ber of stamps and put to work on
a hig plan that will make Wicken-
burg still more famous as a mining
center. Hurrah for the historic
burg on the Hassayampal Here's

A. A. Ireland is taking steps to

Ireland has done more work and
less talk than most mining men.
He does not need nor care to talk.
Every one knows that Burt is a
mining engineer himself, who does
not need to ask the advice of some
expert as to the value of his prop
erty, and hence the local mining
people know that he has a good
showing, or else he would not be

Work on the Angel is still in
