Pioneer Lady Gone

Mrs. Anna Whinnen of Congress
died last Saturday at the advanced
age of IS years. She leaves a son,
Edward, and a daughter, Mrs. Chy-
noweth, to mourn her loss. The
funeral procession was one of the
longest ever seen in Congress.
Rev. Black conducted the funeral
service at the church. He delivered
an address full of pathos and ten
der sympathy, and referred in a
touching manner to the passing of
the Arizona pioneers, of which Mrs.
Whinnen was a noble representa-
tive. She lived in Tombstone and
other Arizona towns in early days
and knew the hardships of those
troublous days. Peace to her soul!

No Candidate for Queen

Congsess will have no candidate
for queen of the Prescott Carnival.
All of the young ladies approached
on the subject feel too modest to 60
into such a race, and we have given
up the job of coaxing some of
them into the race. The Congress
boys think they can bring enough
honor to the town through a base
ball game, but they would all have
been glad to have had their victo-
ries cheered by queen from Con-
gress. We are sorry the girls are
so modest this leap year. Boys,
that's a sign that you will have to
do your own talking.

Congress Baseball Team

The Congress baseball team is
preparing to cross bats with Pres
colt on May day. A large number
of boys are willing to get in and
mill what spare time there will be
left between now and that time.
The boys do not want to overlook
the fact that Prescott has one of
the best teams in the Territory and
they must get up and hustle even
to make a good showing with the
Prescott hoys. Conrad Hess has
been chosen captain of the team
and will organize and practice sys-
tematically and will, perhaps, get
up a crowd of players that will
puzzle the Prescottites some. Let
all the boys who can play turn out
and give the team plenty of mater.
ial to practice on.

Easter Services at Martinez

We were compelled to omit for
lack of space, last week, an account
of the Easter services held by the
Martinez public school. Mrs. Beat
son, the teacher, put in great deal
of labor on the entertainment, and
the people of the community were
out and enjoyed the exercises very
much. The school children nll ac-
quilted themselves creditably. The
schoolroom was beautifully deco
rated with green boughs and all the
children held lilies in their hands
througout the exercises. The parts
all deserve special mention.
At the close of the exercises DIR.
Black, pastor OF the Presbyterian
Church OF Congress. delivered an
appropriate address which was en-
ioyed by old and young.

Made a Trip to Prescott

r. r. Mcdonald, one of the lead
inc mining men of the Harrisburg
section, came up from that point
and went up to Prescott on bust
ness this week. He has some of
the most flattering prospects in that
promising section. He hopes to
have work going by fall on a large
scale. His trip to Prescott may
have been to make some arrange
ments about mining machinery.
Some of the fellows who know
INC" say that it is significant
fact that he came out on the same
stage with the schoolma 'am, and
that his trip to Prescott was a side
issue. Well, let that be as it may,
we could not blame him if It were
so, and, perhaps, the only fellow
who could blame him would be the
fellow who did not happen to have
business at Prescott at this partic-
ular time,

Township 10 North, of
Range 6 West
TWO WEEKS WORK REQUIRED
Towns of Congress and Martinez
Are Included in the Ground
Now Being Surveyed

}. f. Hesse arrived in town yes
terday with George w Cassidy, w.
w. Oliver and E. H. Lenz to sur
vey township 10 north, range 6
west, in which part of the town of
Martinez is situated. This is lit
tie trick which has been needing
doing for a long time, and we are
glad that the order for it's survey
has been made Several lawsuits
have been had here on account of
the land here being unsurveyed.
This will settle the question of title
to the lands or at least it will give
:. chance to have it finally settled.
This party will be here about
two weeks on this job. There has
been great deal of surveying done
in Arizona during the last year or
two, and there will be much more
in the near future. There is wide
stretch of country to the west of
us that should be surveyed, as the
questions of distances between va
rious points is very conflicting and
there ought to be survey made so
that these distances could be
known of a certainty.
1t will not cost any more to sur
vey the country one time than an
other, and it certainly would be
great deal of convenience to the
people of the section if it were sur
veyed at an early date. The fact
thata railroad will be built through
there in a few months is evidence
that the country should be sur
veyed. An early survey would
prevent all the vexations legal
quarrels that will come up in the
future if squatters are allowed to
settle all over the country and oh.
tain conflicting claims to the lands,
and after survey is made it takes
time to get the plats on file, so that
the public can get at the land for
homesteading. If the survey were
ordered at once and work begun at
once it would be at least three
years before the township plats
could be approved and the country
thrown open to settlers. Some one
interested directly should get up
petition and have an order made
to make the survey.

OF a promising copper proposition.
They are down fifty feet and are

KIRKLAND, April 10.-It is very
hot and dry in this section. Today
it is 81 degrees. The feed is short
and cattle are dying every day.
Within the next thirty days 80 per
cent of our cattle will be dead.
Some of the stockmen are going to
kill the calves to try aud save the
COWS. That seems a pretty hard
way to breed up a mans herd.
They are using every effort to save
their herds, or part of them.
Joe Rudy and Bert Jackson, two
OF our best ropers, are going 10 lie
Worlds Fair to teach the people
the art of tying steers. Joy be
with them.
c. w. Platt is putting in new
machinery at his mine. Next week
he will have the machine drills in
working order. Then, he says, he
will sink the main shaft 700 feet.
It is over 200 feet now, with four
feet of ore of good value. Charley
is doing good work on his property
and if there is a mine there he will
have it.
b. L. Sharpneck & Co. have pur-
chased the Morehead & Rudy mine
and are gesting ready to put on a
force of men. Sharpneck & Son
have 5-stamp mill on Kirkland
creek and they intend to mill the
ore as fast as possible. They can
crush four tons per day.
Leonard & Myers have a fine
showing about two miles from
Kirkland. They have several hun
dred feet of work. done. They have
five shafts ranging from twenty to
seventy feet, with good ore in them
all. They are running a tunnel
to tap the main lead at depth of
about $50 feet. We hope they will
find a large body of good ore, as
they are as faithful as any two
miners we have met.
T. M. Earnhart has some prop
erty near Kirkland which promises
TO become a great mine. We will
tell you more about it next letter.
Sol Jackson and Grant Garter
are not dealing in mines just now
it's water. They are going to have a
man from Phoenix with we'll bor-
ing machine to bore for water on
their farms. Mr.. Jackson is going
to try for artesian water. We can
not see any reason why he should
not get it, as his place is in lower
Kirkland and there is plenty of
high ground and water above him.
We hope he can. C.G.G.

Deserving Local Enterprise

J. w. Smith, commonly called
the Congress blacksmith, is entitled
to a little bigger name. J. K. Mil
ler, the ice man, wanted a spe-
cially' built strong wagon for his
Octave ice trade, and he gave Mr..
Smith an order for the wagon he
wanted. 1t is now completed. 1t
will bear the inspection of any
one. For neatness and strength.
as we'll as lightness of draft, the
job can not be beaten. To look at
it it is as handsome as if it had
come out of the shops of the Old
Hickory Manufacturing Company.
Any one who wants a good wagon
of any shape or style should not
think of sending away for it until
they have seen Smith and had his
figures. His work is standard" "

To the Contrary, Quite
the Reverse
THE SULTAN is YET RUNNING
Mill Was Shut Down for a Short
Time to Clean up and That
Started the Untrue Story

Last week we published Il state
ment that the Sultan mine had
closed down. 1t came to us IN
somewhat roundabout way, and we
thought it true. We want to pub
hsh the legitimate mining news OF
the section. and we thought no one
would say mine had closed down
when it had done nothing of the
sort. Because a stop was made to
make cleanup, some one came
away from the camp and said that
the mill had shut down indefinitely.
John Ranken of Congress was
over there last week and IS arrang-
ing to move over there and open
up business. He investigated the
situation and is satisfied with the
outlook. He says that more men
are being put on every day and
that recent mill runs have more
than come up to the expectations
of the management of the prop
erty.
What is the use of people max
ing such false statements One
liar can 90 about the country with
his poisonous tongue wagging and
keep the country in hot water He
may tell his story to some one who
does not know him and the innO
cent party will tell some else, and
-sp the tiThe-~fit-resrches the news
paper Office some friend has heard
il in so many places that he con
cludes it to be true. The news
paper prints the stuff and it turns
out to be an arrant lie at the be-
ginning and the man who had no
notion of hurting the feelings Of
any one has been placed in the po-
sition of saying what he sorely re-
grets. If such stories are given
out very frequently, 1t will soon be-
come customary no; TO believe what
we hear, even though it may be
true. This selfsame Ear might
have a wolf In his own flock some
time and might be deprived Of aid
by the fact that the public has
grown tired of his ia les. So, let it
be understood that It is better TO
tell the truth.
The moral illustrated above APP
plies to a great many more things
than to mere stories such as the
above referred to. In fact, the gen
eral rule of honesty can not be too
oft repeated in whatever walk of
life man finds himself, unless he
finds himself to be in a dishonest
calling, and then he will find it to
his advantage to reverse the rule.

X. r.. MC(Illlen or the fIacer1Ud
country is in this section showing
the sights to his young friend,
William IT. Holland of Chicago.
The boys drove over behind an
Arizona thoroughbred and went
to see how they really take out
gold from the ground in camps
where they know how and are TAX
ing her out in good shape. The two
principal camps of that kind in
this section are the Congress and
Octave, and the boys went to see
both of these camps. We are sure
that they will have several big pro-
ducers out in the Placerita country
some time soon - within a few
years.
For instance, there is the Illi-
zona putting in new machinery at
Kirkland, a short distance from
there, and G. G. Green is running
two Tremain steam stamps on the
property of the Central Arizona
Company, and seems to be making
it pay. He must have some good
ore. for his fuel costs him, deliv-
cred at Placerita, about SIG to the
ton. When conditions are such
that fuel can be had more cheaply,
there will be no reason why that
property will not he all right. And
there is the Enterprise Company,
under the management of George
Mayhart, which is getting ready
to start it's 1O-stamp mill to pound
ing away on ore. The ore is being
taken from what is known as the
Bonanza claim. H. H. Cloud is
putting on six-horse-power hoist
on the Zonia group, belonging to
the Farwell Company. 1t has an
extremely large body of $6 ore that
is being prospected. If it hold out
little longer it will be hummer.
A. S. Hickey, a hustling mining
man is in charge of the Malapai
group for some Michigan people,
called the Detroit Development
Company, and will be very apt to
make a success of that property,
as he is down $50 feet and has a
fiattering showing. He has gone
East to lay the conditions before
his people and will, no doubt, come
back ready to so on down, and, il
so, the money will be well invested
Messrs. McGillen, McKeever and
Goble have made a new find be-
tween Kirkland and Placerita, and
are highly elated over the showing

Sheriff Graham is not the kind of
man to be awel from his plain,

States would-hc ciiSic seeks to make
it appear.
The State says lof the taking Of
the negro who killed Nr McGee to
Columbia for safe-keeping by the
advice Of the Governor:
"We do not like this method of
running from MODS, etc
Well, l should judge that it has
been many u long, cold day since
Williamsburg county has done any
thing to the liking OF the Columbia
State.
Sheriff Graham has never vet been
found waiting; and for correct Level
beaded conclusions We feel that he
is the peer of any that the State
newspaper can boast of. The busi-
ness of Williamsburg county is many
times safer in the hands Of Sheriff
Graham than it would be In the
hands Of any one who could be awed
by the Columbia State into the "let-
'er-roll," knock-down and drag out
policy it advocates in dealing with
mobs. A little policy or tact is some
times like soft answer that turneth
away wrath.
Neither does the Governor Of
South Carolina need any slars o.
"pardons' from the Columbia State
to prompt him to his plain, conserva-
tive duty. Governor Heyward is
right. The prisoner is safe from
the mob law but his neck is good for
the hangman's rope, ali the same.
We want no mob law, neither do
We want any knock down and drag
out killings to prevent it when a lit
tie level-headed policy will mildly
prevent it.
