Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1904-01-13

Joseph Mercer and Charles Rick, who
have been visiting this city aud Nc
Cabe with the Jaeger party from Chi
cago. Both these gentlemen are con-
nected with the police department in
Chicago. They we're highly pleased
with what they saw at the McCabe
property, and think this section sure
ly has a great future in the mining
industry.
George Hamlin has returned from
couple of weeks visit in Los Angeles
and smiles in way that indicates that
he is we'll pleased with conditions.
As previously announced, his mission
was to look at mining machinery and
if possible, place an order for some
sort of a reduction plant for the Re-
lief mine, twenty two miles northwest
of the city. He reports that he found
what he wanted and placed an order.
-Phenix republican.
The Journal Miner received a
pleasant call today from George A.
Cook, special representative of the
Mining World, of Chicago, one of the
leading mining publications of the
world. Mr. Cook will spend several
days in this section in the interest of
his paper and hopes to arrange for a
special correspondent from this part
of Arizona in order that this section
may be properly represented to the
thousands of readers of the Mining
World.
Those who worshiped at the Church
of the Advent yesterday, we're de-
lighted by the rendition of anthems
at morning and evening prayer, by
Miss NJ. Gale and r. W. Logan.
LEAD Kindly Light" was sung in
the morning, and "Fear not, for
bring you good Tidings," was the
theme at night. This last was finely
given, the effect was inspiring. We
understand that it is to be repeated
next Sunday morning, by request.
Miss Bailey very artistically combin-
ed the prelude with the professional
hymn, and no doubt this plan will be
continued, as the effect is good.
Captain William F. Meeks departed
last week for New York to attend the
annual meeting of the stockholders of
the United Gold and Platinum Mines
company. In addition to being pres
ent as a stakeholder, he will present,
as superintendent, his annual report
on operations for the year 1903. This
report is said to be an elaborate one
and shows a great deal of work having
been done on roads and claims held
by the company. Mrs. Meeks and
Master Nelson Meeks met Captain
Meeks at Ash Fork and went to New
York with him. They will reside there
for the remainder of the winter.
A. j. Herndon, general agent for
Arizona for the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, today received the fol-
lowing telegram from Gage E. Tarbell,
second vice president: 1.-The new
business of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society for 1903 exceeded that
of any other year in his history by
over forty millions; its outstanding
assurance, furnishing protection to in
creasing thousands of homes, has gone
beyond one. billion four hundred
millions of dollars. The amount OF
money paid out in dividends has not
only been larger than in any previous
year, but larger than has ever been
paid by any other life assurance com
pany in single year. ="
The officials of the Bank of Arizona
we're given a genuine surprise this
morning by Robert H. Burmister hand
ing them his resignation as exchange
teller and severing his connection
with the bank, to take effect the first
of February. He has had a very fat
tering offer by the Phenix National
Bank and has decided to accept the
offer and will move his family to that
city when he enters upon his duties
with that institution. Mr.. Burmister
has been a most efficient employee of
the Bank of Arizona for the past six
or seven years, and the officers of the
bank as well as the many patrons of
that institution, will greatly regret to
learn of his decision. The Journal
Miner joins his host of friends in
wishing him every success in his new
position and congratulates the Pres
colt National in securing his services.
DR.. Criley's gentle old buggy horse
"Dick" took a few lively turns
around town today at noon that dem
onstrated that the tamest of horses
may get excited once in a while.
The horse was hitched in front of the
Hotel Congress when Frank Foster
went by in his automobile which
frightened the horse out of his wits
and he broke loose, went over the side
walk and curbing in front of the hotel
grounds, and after making a few cir
Giles around the grounds dashed down
the lot between the Prescott National
Bank and the excavation, out into
Cortez street and down Gurley with
all his might until be reached the
bridge where a man ran out ahead of
him which caused him to turn around
and come back up the hill till he was
out of wind, when he was caught. The
queer part Of the whole thing was that
nothing about the buggy or harness
was broken.
