I'M OW is the pilgrimage time in Ire
Nv land. There is probably no coun
try in the world that has so many holy
wells, and other holy places of pilgrim
age as has Ireland. In these modern
days of skepticism, when it is the fash
lon for every man to believe that he
himself is the most almighty being in
creation, and that though he did not
create the universe, yet if he had de-
signed to create it, he would have Gre
ated a darned sight better one than
that we have got; it is truly refreshing
to observe the simple faith that still
holds our Irish people, and that draws
them in multitudes to these annual pill
grimages- 1t is elevating on a day of
pilgrimage to stand by one of the holy
wells, out upon the wild moor, under a
blue sky, and see the pilgrims, men and
women, boys and girls, bare-footed and
bare headed, with heads bent, lips
murmuring, and rosaries slipping
through their fingers, follow the moor
path that leads to the holy we'll, and
travel the gravel path around and
around the cairns of stones that are
being piled to immense size by each
Sinner who comes adding a pebble to
each heap.
The pilgrimage to the top of the
MOUNTAIN of Creagh Patrick is a great
and famous one; but still a greater and
FAR more famous one-the greatest and
most famous in Ireland-is the pilgrim
age to St. Patrick's purgat tory, Tough
Deafg, County Donegal. In memory of
st, Patrlcks retirement to this lonely
spot for prayer and fasting, Pilgrim
age-a three days one--iS annually OBJ
served by several thousands of people
who come from various parts of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, and often
times from America, and distant Aus
tralia The pilgrimage to st. Patrick's
purgatory is observed upon a small
island, in a lonely lake, in the loneliest
part of the mountains of Donegal. The
island is very small, one might cast a
stone clear over it, yet frequently there
are several hundreds Of people on the
island at one time, and day or night
their prisons never cease. This pill
griBage begins on the first of June and
winds up on August Is: and it is one
or the most extraordinary and one of
the most elevating scenes I have ever
witnessed.

One of the surprising features of
gold mining in Alaska is the fact that
thus far nearly all the gold from the
Yukon basin, from Nome and other
districts aside from that produced on
Douglas and Unga islands and some
other places along the southern coast,
is from placers. The only noted ex-
ception being that on Solomon river
in the Nome region, where 10 stamp
mill is crushing gold ore mined in
veins of the district. The placers of
Alaska must have derived their gold
from veins, great or small, but with
very few exceptions these veins have
been little sought, or at any rate re-
main undeveloped, but the placers
will be exhausted in a few years as
they have been in other fields, and
then will ensue active prospecting and
development of the gold bearing veins
which underlies the aIIuviaIs and rib
the mountains. Mining and Scientific

THE MULLIN0 MURDER.
Florence HickIin Convicted of Man
sIauqhter-Father Discharged.

The trial of Florence Hicklin, of
Iron King, on an indictment charg-
ing her with murder, in connection
with the assassination of Jud Mullino
which was commenced on Tuesday
morning, July II, was concluded on
Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
and given to the jury which was COM
posed of the following men: Sam
Boblett G. ". Myers, J. 8. AckeE.
Weekly Arizona journal-miner. [volume] (Prescott, Ariz.) 1903-1908, 1904-07-20

Jos. Engle, Jr. j. W. Hobbs, Bob
Caldwell, W. j. Lester, Chas. Bin
ford, A. G. Burmister, A. E. Pitkin,
G S. Chick, Walter Grimmer. The
testimony in the case was very SINH
lar to that given in the trial of her
brother, Fred HicklIn, who was con-
victed the week previous of murder
in the second degree.
The jury was out until 9 o'clock
on Saturday evening when they re-
turned verdict of guilty of man
slaughter. The trial of these cases
attracted a great amount of interest
in the community, probably on ac-
count of one of the defendants being
woman, and this being the first in
stance for years where a woman has
been on trial in this county for her
life.
The defendant seemed considerabl
detected when the verdict was an
nounced although she did not mani
leSJ duy SpoCldl omOIlOD.
On Saturday morning j. H. Hick-
lin, father of the two persons convict
ed for the murder of Mullino, and
who was indicted also for the same
crime was brought into court and on
motion of District Attorney e. s..
Clark the charge against him was dis
missed and defendant was discharged.
While the father had made threats of
killing Mullino before the assassina-
tion and while he had also stated after
the murder that if Fred had not
killed him he would, there was no
evidence that the two had planned
the murder, hence the evidence was
considered insufficient to go to trial
on and the district attorney conclud-
ed to dismiss the charge. p
While there is a strong sentiment in
the county that the circumstances at
tending the crime would have justified
a more severe verdict in each case, the
law has been vindicated and it has
been demonstrated that human life
cannot be taken in this community
with IMMUNITY and on the slightest
pretext.
The time for sentencing each of the
defendants was fixed for Wednesday
morning, July 20, and on the opening
of court this morning the court room
was crowded with spectators.
In the case of Florence Hicklin her
attorneys announced that a motion for
a new trial had been prepared on the
grounds of the misconduct of the
jury, and that affidsvits in support of
the motion could not be secured for
several days and asked for a continu-
ance, which was granted, and the case
went over until Monday.
A motion for a new trial was also
made in the case of Fred Hicklin and
was overruled. A motion for arrest
of judgment was then filed and also
overruled, and the defendant was asked
to stand up while sentence was pro-
nounced, which was that he be i'm
prisoned in the territorial peniten-
tiary for a term of twenty five years.
During the proceedings Fred Hick-
lin and his sister had been sitting
side by side until the former rose to
receive his sentence. When he again
sat down Florence leaned over on his
shoulder, buried her face in her hands
and wept.

Charles Plat, of Kirkland, has a

miles south of Kirkland that looks

W. S. Wilson came in last week
from the Huacavar mountains where
he has been engaged in the develop
ment of some mining claims. He
was driven out of there by the intense
heat which prevails in that section at
this period of the year, although he
says he left very reluctantly on &C.
count of the good success he was
achieving in his mine development.
He says that every shot he put in
would expose rich gold ore and when
he left he had a body of ore 40 by
50 feet, and two feet in thickness block
ed out which he says is worth all of

Huacavar range of mountains about
twelve miles from the famous Harqua
Hala mines. He has gone about as far
as it is possible for him to go alone,
in the way of development, and the
property is in fine shape he says for
some one who is willing to make an
investment in mining with good pos
sibilities of making big profits.

G. p Harrington has arranged for
having water hauled by rail from
Mayer to Crown King and then
pumped through pipe to the Orc Bella
property in order to run the mill.
While at first glance it might not look
feasible to haul water a distance of
twenty or thirty miles for mining
operations, Mr.. Harrington has figured
out the expense aid finds that in
stead of drawing on the treasury for
80, coo or s15, GOO per month to con-
tinue operations in the mine he can
provide this money from the product
of the mill and have considerable left
for dividends for the stockholders.
The mill when in operation turns out
about 81, ZOO per day. By using the
water over again and with what is
obtained from the mine he can oper-
ate the twenty stamps continuously
on two car loads of water per day.
Mr.. Harrington is conducting opera
tions in the mine in a way whereby
he hopes to develop an abundant
supply of water very soon in addition
to opening up the ore bodies in it.

W. S. Wilson, who has just come up
from the desert section of the country
says that ten men are at work now on
the Harqua Hala mines sinking new
shaft which is down forty feet and in
splendid ore. The new shaft is being
sunk on ledge which runs parallel to
the ledge from which over 81, 600, 600
was taken, or, as Mr.. Wilson says,
the ledge of this property was split
up and this new shaft is being sunk
on a separate prong from the one
worked before and from which such
rich ore was taken. The ore body in
the new shaft, be says, is two feet
wide and will average $40 per ton.
The old workings we're only down to
a depth of about 200 feet and it is
thought that at depth of 400 feet
the two lodges will unite and the old
mine will eclipse its former record in
the production of gold. About Sep
temer an additional force of men will
be placed at work and more active de-
Velopment work will be prosecuted.

The largest bar of bullion ever sent
out from the Gold Road mill was
brought to Kingman Tuesday night
by Sheriff Lovin. The bar weighed
nearly two hundred pounds, or to be
more exact, 2084 ounces, and was val
ued at over $50, The bar was
taken from a ten days run of the
big plant and was from ore from the
surface and 400 foot level of the Gold
Road mine. The ore of the lower
level is now showing some acidity
and lime is used as sweetening, a car
load having been received from Mel
son for that purpose early last week
Since the installation of the amaIga-
majors and Iegrinding of the pulp

of the mill will be greatly increased
and extraction of gold facilitated. -
