 " B. Sa.e. President of the St. Louis White Lead company. is expect ed back in Prescott in abou. three weeks. at which time he will resume his negotiations for the purchase or control of the pink lead output of Yavapai county mines, says the Pres colt Herald.
 Yesterday mention was made of he visit here of Sale and three of his agents, who have been quietly work ing throughout the county with min ing men 10 secure control of the pink lead before 1t was gobbled up by agents of the Lead Trust. While here a few days ago President Sale gave it out confidently that his com pany, with the assistance of several other companies, which were operat ing independent of the Lead Trust. contemplates the erection of two mills
 for the reduction of pink lead ores. One of these plants viii be greeted in Idaho, and the other in some part of Arizona. The location of the Ari- zona mill will depend entirely Un the center of the pink lead product of the Territory. Sale did not hesitate to say that he considers Prescott the most desirable place for this plant.
 Mohave and Yavapai counties give greater promise of large pink lead output than any other two counties in the Territory, and with Prescott a logica, center for all mining operations in Northern Arizona it is almost cer- tain that the plant could be installed here. The product of the reduction works here will be shipped to St. Louis and other points, where it will be worked up into commercial articles of such va.re in the painting and kin dred trades. Such a plant i'll Prescott would have to be of large size, and woulG employ a large number of men. The plant proposed to be placed in Idaho. probably at Boise City, will nor be as large as that intended for Ari- zona. though there is now a greater production in that sIaSe of pink lead than there is in this Territory. Pres ident Sale, while here. gave it as his opinion that with a ready market promised there would be wonderful increase in the amount of white lead handled in Yavapai county. He has already found a number of mines in the county that nave leae that is no'
 turned to any advantage for the req son that no buyers have been in the field to take it off the hands of the mine owners.
 While President Sale is away from
 Prescott he will visit Wickenburg Phoenix. Fl Paso, and one or twa
 Mexican cities. As soon as he com pIetes his business affairs there he
 will be back in the county with his
 agents to purchase mine outputs oi
 he mines themselves. As staged ye.erday Sale and lis emissares are not having the field all to themselves
 The Lead Trust has had agents herC for some time. who are trying 10 gel control of exactly what is wanted by the people represented by Sale. Il lis probable that before the affair ends
 there will be some lively bidding 1T this county between the two factionz for the pink lead here. One prom

In Mohave count! some of the pink lead ores run as high
 as 30 peI cent. Some in Yayapa
 mines is said to run as high as 20 pel
 cent.
