Ilany Horses Trip

On Wednesday nights passen-
ger Navajo Chief Many Horses
passed through on his way to Phoe-
nix. One Of the lady teachers of
the Phoenix Indian School had
been up on the reservation and
gathered up class Of Navajo In
dian young bloods to enter the
school. The chief was invited to
60 along with them and see what
kind of place the children of the
red man are being taken to. Uncle
Sam would do well to provide just
such a place for the schooling Of
the poor white folks as we'll as the

Financed the Welcome

Wells H. Bates has returned from
a very successful business trip to
the East, in which he succeeded in
financing the rich mining PROPOSE
ton known as the Welcome group,
which has been operated by the
Orc Concentrating Company, Of
which Mr.. Bates is the moving
spirit. The property is located
about half way between the Con-
gress and Octave gold mines and is
one of great promise, as recent de-
velopment work has opened up a
good-sized body of extraordinarily
rich ore. The property is owned
by G. B. Genung, one of the old
time mining men of the section.
Mr. Genung owns a number of
other promising properties in the
vicinity. We congratulate him in
his good fortune and wish him con-
tinued success during the new year.

BACK FROM THE EAST
Believes That the Santa Fe CUt"OT
Will Come Through

Hon. 0. L. Geer has just returned
from a three weeks trip to the
East. He went on mining bu5i-
ness, which he was successful in
carrying out. During his visit he
saw Senator Quay and talked with
him about Statehood. The Senator
does not share the feeling of opti-
mism expressed by some lesser
lights on the subject. Quay is well
known to he the best friend the
Territories have in this matter, and
when he says that it is very doubt
full as to whether the bill gets out
Of the House, every one knows
that he means it. Hence it is about
as well for US to make up our
minds that we will have to await
another whill before we shall get
any Statehood.
DR.. Geer thinks that the finan-
cial crisis which has been facing
the country is about over, and says
that as soon as the dividends are
paid at the opening of the year,
the country will not be troubled
with any further panicky situa-
tions. He will leave in few days
for his mines out to the westward.
Hc is very sanguine about the big
Santa Fe cutoff, which will open
up the entire country west.

BLACK ROCK MINE
MUCH GOOD WORK is NOW
BEING DONE
Careful Management That Will
Soon Make the Property q
Big Producer

The Black Rock Mining Com
pany, operating near Constellation,
Ariz., is attracting a great deal Of
attention in the Wickenburg sec
ton. Mr.. Bellinger, the president
and general manager, is mining
man of considerable experience
and has had the proper training to
know how to operate mine eco
nomically and successfully.
J. K. Murphy has had charge of
the work for long while, and has
succeeded in opening up a good
looking thing. Mr.. Bellinger has
been on the ground in person for
the last two months and is seeing
that everything is properly done,
A good force of practical mechanics
is at work at the mine. They have
erected cottages for the families of
the employees, and have charge Of
their own clearinghouse and com
missary. Excavations for the mill
have been completed and the erec-
ton of stock bins is being pushed
In fact, appearances around the
camp are beginning to look like a
big mine would soon be in opera
ton there. Everything has busi-
ness-like appearance and, unless
some accident happens, the mine
will soon be in successful opera
ton.
Four carloads of machinery are
Oh the ground and more is expected
in the near future. A hoist for
sinking the shaft deeper is on the
ground and sinking will be rushed
after the ore bins are completed to
hold the ole taken out in sinking.
This will be begun in a few days.
The shaft is down 200 feet and it
will be sunk to the 500 foot level
as soon as possible in order to give
more room for the employment OF
a large force of miners.
SO much has been said from time
to time of the richness of the Black
Rock ore that it is scarcely neces-
sary to repeat that at the 2)07foot
level there is a we'll defined vein
full thirty inches in width. The
quartz is literally specked with sui
phides and runs very high in gold,
as well as carrying considerable
values in galena and silver.
Considering the high values and
good indications for a continue tion
of the vein, as we'll as the careful
management of Mr.. Bellinger, the
Black Rock mine ought to be
among dividend payers by the end
of the year just beginning, and it
would not be surprising if the de-
sired result should be reached
sooner. We congratulate those
who secure stock in the enterprise
in its early stages, or. in other
words, those who go in on the
ground floor.

his late prisoner.
Once clear of the clash Armstrong
was not sparing Of a horse that belong

his neck he raced through the blind
fog, sword in hand, ready for further

man might be on foot, and
no one denied his elegance
Of bearing, he was but an
amateur on horseback, and when his
steed unexpectedly plunged forward
he relinquished the reins and grasped
the name. For one brief moment the
attention Of the troop was diverted
toward the unexplained antics Of the
maddened horse and the imminent
overthrow of it's rider. If it had been
the horse Of Armstrong that had be-
gun these dancings, his guards would
have been instantly on the alert for
an attempted escape. but at the very
moment their eyes should have been
on the Scot their attention was with
drawn. Armstrong did not laugh, but,
thrusting back his knife. whipped out
his sword and struck De Courcy's
horse twice with the broad of it. His
own steed leaped forward under the
prick of the spur, and before the colo
mel could give word Of command the
two had disappeared in the fog ahead.

Then to the oncomers he roared like
warning, which was drowned in anoth-

to be taken in, even if they had heard
the warning. With their own eyes
they had seen two cavaliers burst upon
them out Of the fog with strident cry
