Prescott Wins Again.

/ The second game of base ball this
year between the Prescott and Iron
King mines took place yesterday after
noon on the diamond north west Of
the Prescott Electric company's power
house, and resulted in another victory
for the Prescott boys, by a score Of
ten to five.
The Prescott nine was IN fine trim
and played ball like Ieaguers. The
Iron King team did remarkably we'll
under the circumstances and the fac.
that they held the score down to
where they did was a great credit to
them. The greatest drawback the
Iron King boys had to contend with
was the loss of their old pitcher,
Frank Demeray. This necessiTated
them putting a new man in the box,
and although it was the first match
game he ever pitched be did remark
ably we'll. Another misfortune and
one that crippled the battery was
Catcher Carroll getting his finger
broken early in the game.
Quite a good crowd came in from
the mines and vicinity to witness the
game and it Is said considerable
money changed hands as a result Of
the game.
The receipts at the grand stand
gates we're sol. Every cent Of this
money was given to the players, the
winners getting sixty per cent and the
losers forty per cent. The stand re-
ceipts VII be given to the players in
that proportion at every game so there
is no private gain to any one and the
stand should be we'll patronized by
those who have an interest in the
great game.
The following games have been ar
ranged for the future:
Sunday, May I, Congress and Pres
colt, at Prescott grounds, also Iron
King and Phenix at Granite Dells. ~r
Sunday, May 8, Iron King and Pres
colt, at the Iron King grounds near
Blanchard. -
Sunday, May 10, Iron King and
Prescott at Prescott grounds.

nix at Prescott grounds.

SALE Of THE
CACTUS GROUP
An Important Deal for
Cherry Greek.
The Company Will Begin Work at
0nce-AlsO Put in Mach in
cry and Mill.

The sale of the Cactus group Of gold
mines on Cherry creek, a brief men,
ton of which was made in the Jour-
nal Miner of Saturday evening, is one
OF the most important mining sales
that has taken place in this county for
some time, not that there have not
been some bigger sales made but one
of the items of importance in connec-
ton with this sale is that it is prob
ably the entering wedge for number
of other deals that will be made In
that district, and the beginning of
lot of development that may be looked
for. Another fact worthy Of note in
this sale is that 1t was a spot cash
transaction and the price obtained was
a very satisfactory one.
There were thirteen claims included
in the transfer and the work done on
this property amounts to over 5000
feet Over $50, 900 dollars have been
taken cut in doing this development
and it is estimated that there is more
than that amount now blocked out
in the property. The claims have been
owned by j. r. Boyer seven or eight
years and have been worked on q
small scale at various times since
1888, or for about twenty one years.
Some two years ago L. .Wombacher
acquired an interest in the property
and Messrs. Boyer and Wombacher
have been working it within their
means since that time. A few weeks
ago-a good strike of ore was made in
the property and a quantity Of the
ore shipped to the Boulder, Colorado,
smelter, the returns on which have
not been received as yet, but which 1t
is expected will give good results.
c. A. Chambers, who has closed
up the deal for the Keystone Invest
ment company, of indianapolis, In
diana, informs the Journal Miner that
the company has unlimited means to
put into the development of the prop
erty and will proeeed at once to in
stall machinery for the poper mining
and handling of the ore and also put
in a mill. The ore is free milling. A
good force of men will be put TO work
as soon as things are in readiness and
work will be vigorously pushed

J. J. Fisher returned last night
from n surveying trip of several days
in the Verde mining district, near
Jerome. While there he surveyed a
number of claims for Pittsburg Je-
rome company. This property lies
about one mile southwest of the
United Verde smelter and the surface
indications are very good for a big
property. The company has completed
arrangements for the erection of a
large hoisting plant and will begin
sinking as soon as it is completed and
intend to sink to a depth of 1000 feet
just as fast as the work can be done.
Mr.. Fisher says that district is surely
looking fine and the prospects for the
future are very bright. The smelters
at Jerome and the Equator are both
running full blast.

MAYER.-"There isn't much
news" said Joe Mayer last week in
response to an inquiry regarding the
very latest in the famous camp whose
founder is one of the most pic
turesque, popular and interesting
characters in the territory. "Things
are simply running along in the same
old fashioned groove and we are pros.
pering." From a conversation with
Mr.. Mayer the fact was elected that
he has made a good strike of fine cop
per glance over near Stoddard. at
Copper Mountain. Mr.. Mayer has a
few ment at work on the Miner and
the Copper Queen. The Mag and
the Lion are all working.
A fine large brick addition is being
made TO Mr.. Mayors store building al
the camp. Its completion will triple
the size of the establishment and make
it one of the best in the county. The
new rooms will be used for saloon and
dining rooms, as it is planned to
convert the frame building now used
for saloon into rooms for lodging.
When the chlorination plant of the
Rigby Reduction company begins oper-
atiOns it will mean an intluxsof work
men into Mayer and the prospects for
prosperity of the most prosperous
kind are excellent.
1t is expected that the Rigby com.
pany will begin laying the spur track
from the main line of the railroad tc

aroused by the announcement of the

Thursday morning of last week
Messrs. Con O'Keefe and E. j. Snyder
of the Sonora Mining and Milling
company returned from a visit to the
company's big copper property at Tu-
butama, in the Altar district of Sono-
ra. A recent run of the smelter yield
ed sixteen tons of 81 per cent copper
bullion which will be shipped east for
refining. Owing to lack Of sufficient
water for the continual operation Of
the smelter the Officials of the COM
psny have decided to temporarily
abandon the copper properties and
devote their time and attention to
the development of very valuable
group of gold mines known as the
"Juarez Group" located about eighty
miles west of Tubutama near Port
Lobos, which was recently purchased
by the company. In the fall several
thousand dollars worth of machinery,
buildings, ETC., will be moved from
Tubutama and a twenty stamp mill
and a complete cyanide plant will be
installed, it being the intention of
the owners to work the properties on
very extensive scale. Saturday
morning Mr. Snyder started for his
home in Utica, New York, to arrange
matters at that end. He will return
here early in the fall. Mr.. O'Keefe
intends making Nogales his future
home and has taken rooms at the
Ssnta Cruz House. He intends to

J. S. johnson, of the Copper Queen
Mining company, is in Prescott from
the property which is located short
distance from Mayer. He says the
work they have been doing has opened
up some great ore and the showing
they now have fully justifies them in

of the property on a much larger scale
than they can under the present con-
ditions. Mr.. johnson expects to leave

chase the machinery and also to trans
act other business for the company.

WALKER spite of the fact that
the numerous big plants in the
Walker district are mostly inactive at
the present time, quite little devel-
opment and prospect work is going on
in a quiet way and on a small scale
along Lynx creek and among the sur
rounding mountains. Mr.. Earl has
been shipping ore from one of the
Sheldon group of mines to the Val
Verde smelter, one of the shipments
made a week ago amounting to six
tons running s37 per ton. Stukey,
the we'll known merchant, is en-
ploying a few men on the Pine Noun
tain. Max Cantin is having work
done on a few of his claims below
Walker and reports some extremely
good assays recently.
Twenty five men and more are busy
away in the depths of the Poland tun-
mel on the Walker side of the divide
and the dump from this tunnel il
spreading to such dimensions as to
form a broad white boulevard as it
we're in the centre of TIE town. The
hum of the air compressor and of the
hoist has a cheerful sound to the peo-
pie of the camp who feel that the COM
pletion of the tunnel and the conse-
quent linking of the rich Lynx Greek
section with the railroad on the other
side of the hill will make the wheels
of indsutry revolve merrily in that
vicinity. There are five mills which
will reap the advantages of rail con-
nection with Prescott and the smaller
concerns will also appreciate the con-
venience of getting their supplies by
rail. The big Mudhole mill, which
was closed last April has been kept iu
the best of condition and while moth
ing is known of the plans of the own
ers thereof it is not at all impossible
that something will be doing at the
plant after the trolley cars are run
ming through the big tunnel. Fhe
Mudhole employed 100 men before
the shut down last year.
Over across the mountain the indi-
cations are for a resumption of activ-
ity at the we'll known Pickerell camp.
Mr.. Pickerel has recently returned.
Over at the Cash mine the ten
stamp mill of the company is hard at
work steadily turning out rich con-
centrates from ore brought up from
the 400 foot level. Forty men are
busy around the plant which is one of
the neatest and best equipped in the
district.

The Journal Miner is reliably in
formed that preparations are now be-
ing made to start work Oh the we'll
known Keystone property in the
Wickenburg district. The property is
owned by the Keystone Mining COM
pany, and up until between two and
three years ago was attracting consid-
cradle interest. Something over 1000
feet of development work had been
done on the property and good ma
chinery had been installed, but de-
velopment was stopped by litigation
aud the property has been idle ever
since. The legal tangle is now said
to have been Strengthened out and it
is expected the camp will resume its
former activity. The Keystone has
produced some very fine gold ore.
f. NJ. Drescher, of the firm OF Ell
lott Il Drescher, who returned a couple
of days ago from a trip to the south
ern part of the county, informs the
Journal Miner that his trip was very
satisfactory. He examined the
Black Diamond Mining company's
property, located about eight miles
from the famous Pierce mine. He
says the company has a smelter on the
property and is smelling on an aver
age Of about $50 tons of ore per day.
| The ore is one of the finest smelling
propositions he ever saw as it will go
! right from the mine to the smelter
without a pound of fiuxing. The mine
/ is very large low grade copper mine,
but one which undoubtedly has a
great future in store for it.
W. W. Elliott, the we'll known
mill man, left yesterday on a tour of
] inspection to the different camps in
this county where the firm of Elliott
& Drescher have in course of construc-
ton several mills and hosting plants.
He will visit the Mount Union mine
where they are putting in fine new

erty where a new Huntington mill is
being installed and the Jaeger Canyon
