ELECTRIC ROAD TO
 HAVE MORE CARS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 General Manager Frank Wright of the Prescott and Mount Union Rail way Company, has secured new quar- ters in the Elks' opera house building, and the entire clerical force of the street railway company will be moved into the new location as soon as the room can be made ready. The crowded quarters of the company has demand ed this change, and the new stand will be fitted to make it as comfort able and handy to both the public and to the employees as is possible.
 The survey of the street railway for it's extension to Fort Whipple, and the consequent additional business that will follow the equipment of the new line, will necessitate more room for the working force at headquarters, and the fact that the telephone system it. self requires additional office room led to this new move. Manager Wright said last evening that the new offices would be fitted out as soon as possible, and that the room would be devoted strictly to the use of the street railway line
 When questioned as to the equip ment for the extension to the post he explained that a new car would be here within the time required to grade the road and lay the iron, and that when the Whipple line should be com pleted and in running order the entire system would be much more efficient. A third car has also been ordered and will be in operation before the winter. It is the impression that this exten- sion of the line will be especially pro- fitable, and in favor during the con- struetion work to be done in the ensu- ing fourteen months at the fort, and in view of the existing conditions, no time will be wasted in getting the road in operation.
 There is one point on the new line covering a distance of about one block, where the roadway winds around the hill on entering the government reser- vation that will likely prove an ex- pensive piece of work, there being a cut necessary that will likely require the removal of earth to the depth of I3 feet. As soon as the engineer shall have made his final report on the new route. bids will be asked for to prepare ' the road bed, and no effort will be spared to hurry the construction to an early completion.

call for it, the theory being that they did not want the eastern men to make payment, in which event they could jump and hold the property. The Ora ham people, on the other hand, allege that as payment had not been made to them they were free to take possession of the property, which was then held hy representatives of the Kansas City men. The result of the controversy was that the Graham faction sent an armed force to the mine, and is now in control of it.
 The International American of Mon day says Mir. Graham had just return cd having acquired peaeeable posses sion. The operating bosses kept at their work as usual, but are now in the employ of the Graham faction instead of the Kansas City faction. The same paper says that NIT. Me Mullen, who is the only representative of the Kansas City people, in Doug los, is busy telegraphing and intimates that there will be something doing at [ the mine before the week is past.

DEATH or BEN CLAY.
Remains of the Pioneer to be Inferred
 at Phoenix.
(Frsm Fridays Daily.)

OhhyJ
 The remains of Ben Clay, who died Monday in California, passed through Prescott last evening en route to PhOe- nix, where burial will be had. Clay was taken to California very ill, some four weeks ago, and despite the best of care and medical attention, was un- able to throw of his disease. His death. while a shock to his friends in this county. was not altogether un- expected.
 He was one of the older residents of Yavapai county. and for years past has been interested in cattle and sheep business. His wife. who died some three years ago. was sister of Edward Toverea Jerome. and her remains were inferred in Phoenix. Because her grave is there it was the wish of rela- tives that the body of the husband be laid to rest beside that of his wife. Several relatives and close friends of the deceased will attend the funeral in the capital city.

B0GGS' WILL TO BE
 SUBJECT OF CONTEST
(From Fridays Daily

(Erom Fridays Dally)
 J. NJ Palmer, Jr., a nephew of the recently deceased Theodore W. Boggs, arrived in Prescott yesterday from his home in Napa, Cal He is an attorney at-law. and prominently identified with various lodges of his section. His purpose in visiting Arizona is to take steps toward contesting the will said to have been left by his uncle. and to arrange for bringing the entire matter of the Boggs estate into legal channel, through which it may be properly ad- ministered and settled.
 When questioned yesterday by Journal Miner reporter MT. Palmer re- piled that he had not yet found time to begin his investigation into the es- tate. but would not delay in getting this work under way. When asked as to his claims. he said:
 "I am a son of the only living sister of Thedorore w. Boggs, and l have no hesitancy in stating that I am here to look after the interests of relatives Tn California and Colorado. I cannot go into detail at this time. as I must first look carefully into the matter, and per haps secure an associate among the members of the local bar to assist in the work which is to be done." Without any direct statement as to the issuance of a will by Boggs in favor of niece residing in MaricOpa county, MT. Palmer made reference to report ed undue pressure having been brought to bear upon Boggs, shortly before his death. which led him to consent to making a will in favor of this niece.
 Avoiding all detail as to the cireum- stances. he gave out the impression that it would be along this line that he would take legal action to set aside the alleged will.
 Those best acquainted with Boggs and who had been more or less intimate with him for many years past. are lotl to discuss the will. and the possibility of a successful contest. but they show no hesitancy in saying that ther' may be many complications in any al tempt to bring the matter ro a fair cole clusion in court.
 The death of Mrs Wheeler about on' . month preceding that of Boggs. ana , the fact that she was interested witt 7 him in several large enterprises. II i l said. may become cause for intri ? cate legal complications should ;be es |. tate be brought into the courts for set clement.

to decide to add an additional furnace to the plant.
 So announced Professor George A. Treadwell, president of the company, who arrived in Prescott last evening in company with Hollister Logan, one of the board of directors. They go to the works this morning to examine the property and arrange for further de- velopment work.
 Professor Treadwell is one of the best known mining men and experts that have been connected with the in- dustry in Arizona. and in New York his judgment in such matters is re- garded as of the highest authority.
 It was he who opened and managed the Vulture mine as long ago as 1878, and though it produced only low grade ore be placed it on a paying basis. MT. Treadwell was the first man who made the United Verde a productive property, and while it later passed into the control of Senator Clark, he is still large stock holder, and has had the pleasure of drawing dividends regularly, which he has in vested in other properties. From this income he put $6O,0OO in lump into buying the property which now bears his name. In this enterprise he has been backed by W. s. Logan, leading attorney of New York, who is in close touch with large financial interests, and who IS able to command almost any amount of capital for project which bears all the external evidences of be- ing a conservative and profitable pro position.
 In taking hold of the Treadwell en- terprise, Mir. Logan banked entirely upon the judgment of Professor Treadwen, and it was MT. Logan who insisted that the mine be named after his friend, his argument being that the name would inspire confidence and would facilitate the acquisition of the working capital.
 Professor Treadwell informed his associates in advance that no returns need be expected for three years, and the stockholders invested their money on that understanding. That period IS now about completed, and it is conf dently expected that the promise will be fulfilled within a short time. The company has three patented claims, the Iron Queen, the BOggs, and the Blackberry, down 400 feet, and the ore bodies of copper uncovered are of a promising character. Altogether a million dollars has thus been expend- ed in the purchase of claims, their de
 velopment and the erection of the smelter.
 Professor Treadwen expresses the opinion that the company has as big a proposition as the United Verde if not even better. This is his first
 trip here since year ago, and this i' the initial visit to Arizona of MT 1 Logan, who IS a son of w. $. Logan the financial packer of the enterprise They expect to remain at the mine
 at Mayer for a couple of weeks, and perhaps longer.

Fx.SHERIFF MUST
 SETTLE FOR WOOD
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 Ex-Sheriff Roberts appeared in the federal court at the trial of the case of the government against him and his bondsmen as sheriff of the county, for having levied an attachment upon eer- tain wood and timbers supposedly be- longing to the defunet Golden Cross Mining Company.
 The jury heard all the evidence as to the transaction, and returned verdict in favor of the government, assessing the ex-sheriff s42 in payment for the material and fuel that according to their verdict, belonged to the govern ment.
 The case grew out of Roberts ser vice as sheriff, and because there was no indemnity bond given at the time the attachment was levied, unfortunate ly, it is likely Roberts will personally have the costs to meet. The verdict as given makes an allowance of $2.75 per cord for the wood.
 Whether the case VII be carried to the higher court ~ot yet known, and no notice to tla; Feet was given during yesterdays SC -'a1. The costs in the case, which are --~~0ed to the defendant. will be several lines the amount of the judgment.
 The Wilcox = TT.
 Upon the showing E,:fc by the ter ritory in the case a~ainst Johnson Wilcox, which had been set for trial at yesterdays federal court term, the mat ter was ordered to go over to the next term. Attorney J. c. Forest, who re- presents the defendant, made a request for a reasonably light bond, in order to secure the liberty of his client pend ing the hearing, but the bond was fixed at s1,00O.
 In the absence of sureties, Wilcox was remanded to jail. The charge against the defendant is that of i'm personating postal inspector with view to defrauding one J. H. Dillon.

DESERT QUEEN TO
 BUILD A BIG SHELTER
(From Fridays Daily

Good news comes from the Desert Queen mine at Quartzite, and according to reliable reports, it will be mining pr perty much heard of in the future. The property consists Of two groups of II claims each, and is equipped with a 40-horse power gasoline engine, air compressor and power drills, etc. The development of the property has been going on for the last five years. and about $75,000 has been expended in putting it in shape for work. The ore shoots are large, and the ore is of high grade, giving mil returns of 60 per cent copper, five ounces gold and grade of ore whose returns show 10 per cent copper, $12 in gold and 9 ounces of silver. The workings on both groups consists of big erosscut tunnels. cutting the ore lodges at a depth of from 300 to 800 feet. and of from 30 to 600 feet of drifting on veins.
 Will Erect Shelter.
 This fall the company will erect a Cotton shelter to begin with, and 6O- ton units will be added as fast as the ground can be opened. The company is composed of Chicago and Indiana capitalists, and John J. Wyatt, the manager. who resides in Los Angeles. MT. Wyatt has been the manager and superintendent of the mines and work from the beginning. He is Colorado mining man of long experience. having for a long time operated in the Cripple Greek district and in Clear Creek eoun- ty.
 The Octave Mill.
 There are about 20 men at work at the Octave mill at Octave, and times at the big camp at the foot of old Rich Hill are taking on a decidedly rosy hue. There is no doubt in the mind of anyone conversant with the facts that the camp will yet far exceed any thing which it has ever been in the past. Smaller camps in the district are livening up in consequence of the restoration of confidence by the re. sumption of work at the Octave.
 Other Properties.
 The mines owned by George Philips and associates at Copper Mountain, in Graham county, are looking doing eX' tremely well. These mines were orig Inally located in the early s0's and at that time were about to be sold tC party of Chicago capitalists, whc were then on the ground, when they

were all killed by Indians. Mir. Phil lips and associates have been in pos session of the property for the past five years. and during that time they have done a vast amount of development work. and with satisfactory results. In every place where work has been done. good copper has been found. A big tonnage of ore is now on the dump of one of the claims, averaging 30 per cent copper, and will pay to de veIop and ship. It is the intention of the owners to commence shipping soon, after which it is expected the property will pay its way.
 Another Shelter.
 F.. NJ. Carson. of San Francisco. paid a visit to Kingman, in Mohave county. last week. interviewing the people on the subject of a shelter. He proposes to build a plant of 100 tons capacity at McConieo. five miles west of King man. on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad, and Chloride branch of the Arizona & Utah road, and is ready to enter into contracts with mine owners for the purchase of ores that may be offered for sale. Before returning to his home in San Francisco, MT. Carson wis tied various mines and camps in the Cerbat range and made personal exam nations of ore sand producing possi- bilities.
 The mill belonging to the German American Mining Company at Vivian, in Mohave county, is working to its full capacity and making saving of gold values contained in the ores. The mill is of ten stamps capacity, and It handles about B tons of ore daily.

YELLOW FEVER.
There is no Occasion For Alarm
Remember the Lessons of the
Epidemic OF 1898.

AS we are now threatened with an
other visitation Of the dreadful yellow
fever 1t is well to remember the expe-
riences. of the last occasion. In all
sections where yellow fever has made
its appearance it VIII be recalled that
persons who kept their stomach, liver
and bowels strong and active we're not
affected by the disease; while others
apparently healthy were stricken
down. These latters we're all more or
less habitually constipated, bilious or
victims of Bad Digestion; as a result
the blood became impure and the vital
organs we're unable to resist the dead
ly fever germs. Now is the time to
grepare for what is to follow. Get
your family and yourself in shape to
resist the disease. You don't know
when your exposed to 1T, every man
You meet may be affected and II you
put your preparations off from day to
day you may be too late. The sensible
course is to begin at once taking Prick
ly Ash Bitters; that marvellous system
regulator and blood purifier. Use IL
regularly every day. Half wine
glass full each morning after break
fast will keep your bowels open and
healthy, it will also strengthen the
stomach and digestion, purify the
blood and by stimulating the liver
and kidneys all bile and uric acid Inn
purities will be driven out OF the
body. In short, it puts the system
in perfect order. Remember 1898.
That was a record year for PricISly
Ash Bitters. Ins salaa sections where
it was used the most there were few
est cases Of fever. You cannot do
better in this hour Of danger than to
make use Of the means which expert
ence has proven TO be the best for
fighting of this terrible scourge.
