THE CHANGE FOR VISITORS
To Avail Themselves of Bargains at
 the Big CuriO Store.

Now, that many of the winter visi- tors are getting ready to return ito their homes in the north and east, Balke's Big Curio store is being over run with visitors. They are taking advantage of the reduced prices of the closing out sale, in which cost to say nothing of profit is being entirely dis regarded. Anything in the store, that is anything for sale (for there are a few curious articles with which MT. Bake would not part at any price,) may be had at almost the purchasers own figures.
 on account of the weather MT. Bake found it necessary to discontinue for the time his auction sale of Navajo blankets. These sales vii be resumed as soon as possible but in the mean time those desirous of purchasing blankets may procure them at the store fully as cheap as they could have done ct the auction sales.
 Mir. Bake on Saturday received three more bales of blankets from the Navajo reservation. This is another installment of the blankets purchased by him from the Indians last summer and which ought to have been shipped before the holidays. However, they must be sold and they will be sold for what they will bring.

r. B. Evans, interested in the great
salt beds near Dandy, on the line of the
California G. Arizona road, known as
the property of the Saline Valley Chem
ical Works, is in Prescott and his chief
object is to secure information as to the
probable time for the completion of the
new road.
The completion of this road will mean
a rail outlet for this company and will
permit of the construction and opera
tion of big plant for the manufacture
of the various products to be made on
the ground of the salt beds.
From the reports made by this COM
pany their property is the largest of
the kind on the American continent and
the products to be put on the market
include sodium chloride, sulphate of
soda, cement clay, carbonate of lime
and rock salt that is delared to be purer
and in greater quantities than at any
other point in America.

was shown some fine samples from
their properties sixteen miles south of

yellow metal was plainly visible in its
pure form. Mr.. Schween has spent
two days at the mines and has reported
his findings of affairs there with sam
pies, TO the vice president, d. A. Sea-
man, of Talbot & Hubbard. The hold
ings of the company consist of ten
claims in the canyon and one, the Old

large veins of gold ore. Samples sub
mitted for assay show an average of
$50 in gold and some silver and copper.

THE GREENE GOLD MINE
SHUTS DOWN FOR A TIME

Troy McCleary, the veteran mining
man, is home from Mexico. He has
been boss carpenter at the property of
the Greene Consolidated Gold company
for the past seven months. He stated
that the mines have been shut down
owing to an excess of water. The
mines of this company are located at La
Brisca. Mr.. McCleary, who has mined
for years, says that the property is very
rich. Lots of gold has already been
taken out. Work will be resumed there
in few weeks. When the mines are
running with full force about $50
men are employed. Signs are posted
all over the property warning strang-
ers to stay away and armed guards see
that the warning is needed. According
to McCleary, the expert who made the
sensational report about the mines is a
Canadian who hoped to make sum of
money by spreading false report

Rosecrans reports what he considers a
strike of much Importance in the mine
In the deepest workings he has uncov-
cred fve-foot lead which will average
about 13 per cent copper The vein
stands nearly verticle and if it is con-
tinuous will afford an immense tonnage.
A sufficient amount of work has not
yet been done on the vein to enable
him to judge of the extent of the ore
body.
About two years ago outcroppings
of coal were discovered near Morenci
which attracted much attention at that
time However, but little work was
done on the property, not sufficient
amount to determine whether or not
coal existed there IN paying quantities.
Recently arrangements have been made
with several local capitalists to exploit
the property and work will be com
menced at once. Should coal be devel-
oped in paying quantities it would be a
big thing for the mining companies of
the Clifton-Morenci district.
The Crawford Gold Mining company
last week purchased four mines and
water right from A. Lafave. The
claims adjoin the property of the Craw-
ford company upon which about $1,000

MURDERER CAPTURED.
Jim FoOte, Who Killed His Mother
in-Law, Captured Mt Bald.
win, Ill.

Mr.. Cecil Jackson arrived in Macon
last Saturday at noon, having in charge
the negro Jim Foote, who murdered his
mother.in law, Martha Payton, on the
Campbell mill place in the latter part
of January last. 1t was a most foul
murder, the woman being lured from
her home under the pretext that her
daughter was sick, knocked in the head
and her body thrown in an unused well,
where it was found a day or two after,
with a cord tied tightly around her
throat, showing she had been ~strangled
after being beaten into insensibility.
Suspicion pointed strongly to Jim
Foote, and the coroner's jury brought
in a verdict that the murdered woman
had come to her death at his hands.
Mr.. Showers went down with his blood
hounds and a strong effort was made
to capture the murderer, but he man
aged to get away and nothing was heard
of him for several months, when a gem
tleman who was getting hands to work
on a railroad brought the new to Shu
qualak that the negro was working on
q railroad in Illinois. Mr.. Frank
Jackson went up a month ago, but
failed to catch him, Mr., Cecil Jack
son is in the employ of a cotton oil mill
at Columbia, Miss and while at home
on a vacation thought he would try to
capture the negro, and succeeded. He
got two hundred dollars reward, one
hundred dollars statutory reward and
one hundreddol[ars that Sheriff Dantz-
Ter got the Governor to offer when it
looked like the negro would get away
completely.
Foote does not deny his guilt, and
speaks of it as indiiferently as if it was
an animal he had killed He says he
killed her because she had been the
cause of his wife leaving him several
times, and has implicated three women

he lured the away from her
home and struck her on the head with
a piece of wood, and the three women
