VERY PROMISING
COPPER COMP ANY
Extensive Development
to Begin at Once.
Solid Vein of Copper and Gold Ore
Twenty-Five Feet Thick
Now Exposed.

One of the properties of this county
which offers splendid prospects for
a great future is that of the Yavapai
Development company, which recent
" purchased a number of claims OF
the Pickaway Mining company, To-
Gated on lower Turkey creek about
three miles east of Turkey station on
the Bradshaw Mountain railroad.
This is a decidedly copper property,
although it carries some values in
gold. The claim has been prospected
to a depth of about 100 feet and a
cross cut run through a solid vein Of
copper and gold ore twenty nine feet
in thickness. This work has all been
done by E. A. Haggott, superintend-
ent of the Blue Bell mine, and he in
forms the Journal Miner that the
property of the Yavapai Development
company is as near like the Blue Bell
in character of ore and formation as
any two mines could possibly be. A.
E. McManus, a prominent attorney or
Duluth, Mimi, and Lewis Merritt,
a leading broker of that city, have
been here for few days examining
the property and left or their homes
yesterday highly pleased. Mr.. Nc
Manus is the president and Mr.. Mer-
rift the treasurer of the company, and
their visit was to complete arrange
ments for the development Of the
claims in a systematic and extensive
manner. These gentlemen have been
identified with some of the big prop
critics in the Warren mining district
near Bisbee in this territory and
thoroughly understand the business
of copper mining. They decided to
start work at cnce on a three compart-
ment shaft and sink it as fast as pos
siDIe to depth of 500 feet before any
drifting was done. They will then
decide on further development, but
it is the intention to spend the next
eighteen months in purely develop
ment work. When that is done it
will be determined what kind of re-
duction plant is needed and as the
company has unlimited capital to
properly carry out its plans there Is
every reason to believe that one of the
great properties of the county will be
the result.

Fine Cash Register.

H. q. Carter, representing the
National Cash Register company left
for Albuquerque this morning after a
visit of about ten days in Prescott.
During his visit here he took an
order Tor a cash register for the Palace
hotel and bar, which will be made to
order and which will be the finest
cash register ever made by the COM
pany for similar business. 1t will
contain four cash drawers, each one of
which will be devoted to a separate
department of the institution, and in
addition to registering the amount
paid, it will be provided with an au--
tomato device, whereby a history Of
the transactions will be recorded in
duplicate, whereby the managers can
by inspecting the register tell just
from what source the receipts of any
day were obtained. The register will
be made to order and 1t will take
the company about two months to
complete it. 1t will be made to con-
form with plans submitted by the pro-
prietors of the place and will tend to
greatly simply aud systematize their
business

The following announcement ap-
pears in this mornings Courier, the
official democratic paper in this coun-
ty, and is self explanatory:
''To the Democratic Voters of Yavapai

"Owing to the fact that the major
ity of the counties in Arizona have
instructed for William Randolph
Hearst, it is self evident that only
delegates from counties instructed
for Mr.. Hearst will be selected 81 the
territorial convention as delegates to
the national convention, therefore it
is absolutely necessary to send an in
structed Hearst delegation from Yava-
pal county to the Tucson convention,
in order to insure the success of

YOUNG BURGLARS
ARE BOUND OVER
Five Prescott Lads Are
in Trouble.
Bound Over to Appear Before the
Grand Jury Under $500 Bonds.
Confess to Crime.

For several months there have
been numerous cases of house break
ing and store burglaries reported to
the officers and every effort possible
has been made to locate the thieves.
1t was naturally supposed that the
work was being done by men bat
within the last two or three days the
whole gang has been discovered and
as result there are five of Prescott's
lads ranging in age from II to 16 years
and two Mexican lads from Ell Paso
about II years of age, in Jail under
$500 bond to appear before the grand
jury.
The names of the Prescott boys are /:
Will Fitzgerald, Perry Bones, Lloyd
Farley, Nell Simpson and Swain
Spar. The gang seemed to be under
the leadership of Simpson and Fitz-
gerald. They have been operating for
about four months and in that time
have broken into and robbed the
Adams ana Cavell second hand stores,
Johnson's saloon, the Wester Union
office, Vinena Bakery, Racket Store,
the Model Cash Grocery, the meat
market near the Model Grocery, and
several other places. The night they
we're caught they had attempted to get
into Otis and Gardeners stores and
were just in the act of getting into
billions store when a night Waterman
caught them and took them to Jail.
In Jail they confessed to everything
and told where they had hid a part of
their plumber, which was in water
pipe at the corner of Montezuma and
Carleton streets. The officers got a
lot of six shooters, knives, watches,
opera glasses, etc. The boys had
secured in all something like s75 in
money all told but had spent all of
that and it was the fact of the caJui-
val being in town and their desire for
more money that made them so bold
and led to their arrest.
The parents of several of the boys
have promised to send them to Cali
fornia to school and the officers are
inclined to accept that as a cOmpro-
mise if it will tend to break up the
gang of Juvenile robbers and reform
the boys.

visit to the property of the Dividend
Consolidated Gold Mines company
and reports things looking fine at the
camp and the recent rich strike of ore
in the Galena shaft to be a wonder.
He says the rich streak is fully
eighteen inches wide. There are
two or three small parts for the new
stamps that have not arrived as yet
but which are expected at any time
and as soon as they arrive the mill
will be ready to start up and the ten
stamps will then be kept pounding
continually, as everything about the
place is full of ore with hundreds of
tons of it all ready to break down
and mill. He says he is confident
the Dividend will soon be one of the
best paying properties in Yavspai

several years, but Mr.. Clark states
that there are excellent prospects for
its being started up again soon under

very valuable one and the cause of its
having remained idle SO long was not
on account of any demerit of the
property, but was caused through the
death of some of the principal stock
holders.

H. A. Bomberger, of the White

has lately taken over the Wickenburg
smelter, was in Wickenburg last
week, says the Martinez News Her
aid. He has had an as.ayer's room
constructed and is now making gen.
ersl improvements about the works.
The smelter will be blown in shortly.
All the good that has been hoped for
by Wickenburgers from the smelter
will yet be realized. The financial
ability of the new company is such as
to warrant its success. This entire
mineral belt will be aided and slim
ulated by the successful operation of
the smelter. The company is sdver-
tising its enterprise in most of the pa
pers of the territory. This gives Wick
enburg some free advertising and the
people of the section can we'll afford
to help an enterprise which will keep
the public looking that way. Let
every one who has ore that will pay
to smelt see to it that the smelter is
we'll supplied. If the smelter fails to
run for want of ore, it will be long
time before the prospectors of the vi
cinity will have another opportunity
of proving that they have smelling
ores. Seize this golden opportunity
before it is too late.

the ground is said to be rich. A few
years ago a train man found several
small nuggets under a bridge this
side of Drake and some effort was
made to discover the source of the
gold. In the foothills to the east of
Drake there are many veins carrying
gold and it is possible that the placer
gold comes from the erosion of these
veins.-Mohave Miner.
