A Joyful Reunion.

There was reunion today of two
 brothers in this city, that of J. M. Ferguson, of Kansas, and c. l.. Fer guson, of Willow Creek, near Pres colt. 1t was an event out of the oIdi- nary in so far as time figures, and for this reason it is somewhat of a note- worthy one. Over forty five years ago they split blankets, one going and the other staying, and from that time of long ago neither had seen each oth- CT, and many years had also passed since they had even communicated
 The meeting today was accordingly a very pretty one in theline of "sizing up' each other, and the present day was passed and scenes of over half a century ago were threshed out time and time again. Every person in this section knows of c. l.. Ferguson. He built the first house in Prescott over forty years ago that had shingle roof on, and he has continued to reside here and devote his time to agricul- tural pursuits generally. His brother who arrived on Monday morning has stayed firmly by the Kansas idea like wise, and while he was en route from California to his home, he thought be would just drop in and surprise the long lost Arizonan. He will stay for some time, and likes the country so we'll he may possibly remain and try to be full fiedged Hassayamper like his brother is so we'll established.

miles north of town, reported yester day afternoon to Bob Young, manager of the O.K meat market that he had found the dead body of Daniel Mar ques, Mexican camp rustler about two miles from camp during the day. Mir. Young notified Under Sheriff Carter and Deputy Joe Cook and Jus tice Talbot went out to make an in vestigation, the morgue wagon being sent ont to bring in the body.
 On the arrival of the former there they found the body of Marques in a sitting posture with the back against a fence, with one leg stretched out on the ground and the other in bent position and d ghastly bullet hole through the head.
 Marques was in town on Tuesday and had been drinking considerably and left for home riding horse and driving burro on which were packed some provisions for the camp. The horse and burro arrived at camp in the evening but Marques was not seen until his dead body was discovered Saturday.
 A six shooter of 45 caliber with three empty shells, one loaded shell and one chamber empty, was found beside the corpse and all the indica- tions pointed clearly to a case of un- mistakeable suicide. The bullet had entered the right side of the head just above and little to the front of the ear and had come out on the left side somewhat nearer the top of the head. The right ear was powder marked and the hair close to the wound was also siDged. In the mans pocket was found a pint bottle nearl; full of whisky and a fifty cent piece.
 The body was brought to town and Justice Talbot will summon a jury and hold an inquest this afternoon. The scene of the tragedy was about a mile north of the target range.

St. Louis, Oct. 24.-PropelIed half way by it's own power and the remain der of the distance by wind, blowing at a rate of ten miles an hour, the air ship Arrow, owned by Thomas S. Baldwin, of San Francisco, in charge of A. R. Knabenshue, made an unan- nounced ascension from the aeronautic concourse to the Worlds Fair grounds today, aLd landed near Cahokio hills, a distance of nearly ten miles, after a flight that attracted the attention of thousands who cheered the big fly ing machine as it passed over the fair grounds. Soaring above the fair build ings the ship took a course over the residence and business sections of the city high above the highest buildings Until accident to motor necessitated a landing, Knabenshue maneuvered the machine perfectly, making circles in the air, steering the machine in any direction. Passing over the business section nearly a mile high, the ap- pearaHce of the ship caused the great est comnotion, all business being temporarily suspended. Once across theS Mississippi river hes brought the ship to the ground near Cahokia in order to repair the motor. Flight oc- cupied one hour.

 in Yavapai. His speech was cheered and that he is sincere as usual for the advancement of his old county there is no doubt. He is a jealous citizen, and meeting without him or his good advice would be misfortune to the people who have the welfare of the country at heart.
 E. s. Clark, candidate for district attorney, followed, and the clear and honest manner in which he discussed the United Verde tax case the Farley and other matters. won for him the regard of all as a true and conscien- tious official. Mir. Clark has record of the best in the interest of the tax payer, and he defined every thread officially he was identified with in the interest of the people to the astisfac- tion of every one. He was caustic in his reference at times, but always right, nevertheless. EHe will be elect ed, as he deserves to be.
 D. A. Haggott, for the council, con- cluded the addresses, and he made an excellent impression, speaking earnest Iy and the people will know what to expect of him, which will be conser-. vative and an honest endeavor for the interests of all classes.

Mill Is Running Day and Night Crushing Sixty Tons of Ore
 Per Day-PersonalS.

Blanchard, Oct. 24, Special Cores pondence)-The Iron King mill is now kept running day and night and is handling on an average of sixty tons of ore per day. The main work is noe' being handled through No. ? and No shafts with development work being done at several other points by con tract. At shaft No. drifting and stopiDg is being done on the 100 foo:. level and stoping on the 175 foot lev el. This latter is now supplying 6 large output of ore and the quartz which is of good average values meas ures from eight to ten feet in width. At No. 5 shaft drifting is being done on the 100 and 150 foot levels. A good grade of lead carbonate ore is being mined from the south drift on tbe 100 foot level. This vein has been follow ed for 100 feet and has widened out from nine inches to four and one half feet and is furnishing some splendid ore. Some beautiful specimens of chrystalized lead are coming up from this point and the output is showing altogether higher. average in values. Only quartz and carbonate ores are being mined and the sulphide zone is left standing The mine continues to make increased supply of water and each foot of depth now will materially effect this flow of wat Shaft No. , is now down 42 feet vt; ;Ch is about to creek level and below the level of Chaparral Gulch. More than 16U0 feet of drifting on the vein, north and south has connected the workings of the six shafts at one or more levels and the output and development is now handled with great satisfaction and economy.
