|S BURNING BRICK FOR THE vAL
 VERDE Mayer Plant To Soon
 Fire A Big @ Kiln ~
Buildings May Demand
 More of Mayer Product ..

Good old-fashioned red brick, that is to be used in the construction of all the smaller buildings at the n ew Val Verde plant, will apparently not be wanting when the time comes for us- ing it. W. s. Deedes of Mayer, who has the contract for furnishing this portion of the building material was in Prescott yesterday, and when asked as to his facilities for burning the brick and delivering it according to contract, and was not at all backward in declaring that be could turn out all that may be wanted.
 The Deedes plant, which is located in Mayer, has turned out quite lot of brick that has not only the proper con- sistency but has the bright red color that other brick of this kind made in the territory fails to show. The sub contractor when asked as to his con- tract with the firm doing the work at Val Verde, said yesterday:
 "I have been making brick for some time past, and I am now awaiting or ders as to firing the kiln. My first or der is for about 5OO,000 brick, but in case more are needed I want to burn all at once. The first order will likely be duplicated, and it is just as easy to burn a million brick as to burn half that number.
 ''I will put in the fire just as soon as I receive orders from the contract ors at Val Verde, and it is not at all unlikely that I will furnish more brick, than was at first not expected or provided for. Our brick out at Mayer have not only the proper con sistency, but we get the bright red color that no other portion of the ter ritory furnishes.''
 When closely questioned MT. Deedes said that it may be possible that he will furnish quite lot more brick than was figured on when be made his original bargain with the Val Verde people. Because Of the excel lent clay that can be secured in the district in which the brick plant IS To- cated, the output is of a superior char acter, and because of the color of the brick turned out, the product is in de mand. While MT. Deedes did Ror go into figures as to the number of brick that he might be called upon to fnrn- ish the new Val Verde smelter peO- ple, it is no secret that the first ord CT may account to more than a mil lion instead of half that number.
 While no official statement has been made by those having the work in charge, it is rumOred that there may be a change of plans as to the main building, that may require half a million more brick than was first figured upon. Contractor Deedes said be knew of nothing with reference to future work, but is of the opinion that there may be further orders for ma terial.
 It is plain, judging from what is to be heard as to the work on the new plant, that no delay in construction will be permitted unless unavoidable. Such work as has already been done indicates that the construction of the new smelter will be pushed as rapid ly as is possible, and that there will he no time wasted in installing the pew plant nor in putting it in operation.

were picked up en route added to that
 number to a marked extent. The but
 chers on the train, Messrs. Martin
 Adams, who are supposed to know ev
 erything that happens en route, were
 certain that no less than 800 people were brought into Prescott.
 To the average onlooker at the depot the train seemed to be packed to its full capacity, and the 500 mark is pro- bably not far from the proper figure. 1 Quite a number of the visiting excur- sionists had telegrapbed for aeeommo- dations in advance, but the majority were compelled to rustic sleeping quar- ters.
 As is ordinarily the case, the visiting Phoenix people were made up of 6 large percentage of ladies. Fully one-third of the exeursionists seemed to be of the gentler sex, and everyone, from the baby in arms to the aged patriarch of the family, apparently enjoyed the change from a heated atmosphere. Full ly ene-third of the men wore no coats, and some arrived with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, all loud ip their praise of a climate that will allow of a full. inhalation of cool mountain air.
 From those who were chatted with 1t is learned that it is only part of the number who will join in the excur- sions set for today to Crown King and Jerome There will doubtless be large crowd in attendance on both trips, but there will yet remain quite number who expect to spend the three days in which their tickets hold good in Prescott. Among the visitors are those who came here to visit Camp Brodie, and see their friends who are there as members of the territorial mi litia.
 It was noticeable all along the main streets after the arrival Of the train that no one who asked for information as to lodgings or the addresses of local friends were allowed to get away without satisfaction. Several self appointed committees of the young men of town made it their business to politely reply to all inquiries. At the Brisley corner one bunch did duty. In front of the Prescott hotel another gathering of local youths were in ser vice at their own volition, and along the line everybody seemed to try to be as courteous and Obhging as pos sible.
 At midnight there were few If any of the visitors who had not found sleep ing accommodations. The excursion from it's beginning to it's arrival in Prescott was without the least un- pleasant feature, and reflects credit on those who have 1t in charge. As the. train reached stations en route there was no stop made that did not add to the passenger list. At the Iron Springs station several people having friends or families stopping there for the summer left the train, many expecting to drive over to town today or tomorrow.
 The trains which will leave for Crown King and Jerome at an early hour this morning will likely be heavily patronized, not only by the wis iting folks from Phoenix but by To- cal residents as well. All in all this combination excursion scheme of the railroad company has proven decidedly successful.

EXCURSION TO JEROME.
Visitors Were Royalty Entertained
 by the Citizens.


 About 300 people of Prescott and number of visitors from Phoenix took advantage of the excursion to Jerome Sunday. Few of them had ever visited the copper city, and the big smelter and its operations were the object of much interest. Shelter Superintendent Tom Taylor kindly showed the visitors through the plant, and explained the methods of treating the ore after it came from the roast ing heaps, and upon their departure he presented each with a cup made of copper to carry away as a souvenir of the c~casion. These he had made ex- pressiy for the visitors, and his gener- os:ty and thoughtfulness were highly appreciated. Manager W. L. Clark also extended hospitalities at his of fee. and other citizens of Jerome did their utmost to make pleasant the stay of the excursio0ists. Superin- teudent Hod. Russell O. the United Verde railroad, was not 70 be outdone by his associates, and had rigged up observation ears attached to the regu- .ar train, which were provided with seats and deeorsted with American flags. Jerome is q thriving place, with handsome cottages and substan- tial business buildings, and its citi- zens were declared to be the salt of tine earth' by the excursionists upon bidding farewell to them.

Two More Victims Of The Little Pest
 Reported
Goatherder's Throat and Nostri1s Literally
 Eaten Out

That the bloway has not let up on it's work of destroying human life is evident, as two more serious cases are reported from Gils county. The first case of a serious nature resulting from the blowhy vas that of the wo- man at Crooke tunnel, which was an- nsunced iu the Journal-Miner at that time. Later, Ed. Prenty of Bisbee was attacked by this pest and suffered greately from the worms, which hatch ed in his nostrils. The next cases were reported from Yavspai county, and there have been several since. The Globe Belt says of the recent cases:
 A man named John Mullet, who was formerly goatherder, working near Globe for long time, was brought to the county hospital quite delirious from 8 high fever. Dr. Maisch soon learned that be was suffering from the effects of blowfy's excursion into his nasal passage or throat.
 "He had been living in a squalid sort of fashion down Pinal Creek, below the city, and evidently slept at times during the day, as he had no regular employment. The serew-worms were in evidence, and at the first at- tack Dr. Maisch removed about sew enty-fve from his throat and nose. The passage between the nose and throat had admitted their free egress, and his condition was a nauseating sight to behold or treat.
 "Chloroform was used, as it is the best known remedy to the profession for removing the worm, but apparent ly it did not have the same effect on the eggs, as the worms continued to hatch, and at least 200 in all were removed.
 At first the patient rallied, and it was hoped to save his life, but on Tuesday he grew worse and failed in strength until Wednesday night, when he was in state of utter col lapse. He died at II o'clock this morning.
 "The difficulty in applying any of the powerful remedies, such as ear bolic acid of sufficient strength to kill the eggs, is that the tissues would be destroyed. Heroic application of the surgeon s knife seems to be the only resort in extreme cases, and it would be necessary to literally cut the victim s face to pieces, so disfgur | ing 1t that one would prefer death.
 Mrs Frank Worden, whose hus- band is an employe at the government sawmill on Sierra Aucha, was brought | to the city on Wednesday suffering with ] pains in her head, caused by blow | fly, which obtained lodgment in her nasal passage for three days. The fly was noticed as 1t made its exit | from the nose. Dr. L. E. Wightman | treated Mrs. Wordon on Wednesday night and removed in all fully 200 | screw worms from affected parts. Chlorcform was administered copious- ly, and but little difficulty was ex- perieneed in removing them. The pa- tient is apparently much better, and Dr. Wightman feels confident that she will recover. She is receiving the best of care and attention in a private family and the best results are antici- pateJ.'

BIacldo0t 9; Sugar City 8

The Blackfoot team defeated the Sugar
City team in an interesting and exciting
ten-inning game last Monday. Catcher
Fulmer, who was borrowed from the st.
Anthony team to catch the game, saved
the game in the ninth inning by batting
the ball over the left field fence. Mike
O'Leary clnched the game by batting
the ball to the fence where it rolled
under, which resulted in Mike making
home run. The game was close and ex
citing from beginning to end and was
deserving of good attendance, as it was
a fine exhibition of base ball. The at
tendance was the poorest that has
greeted Blackfoot team this year.
Steltz pitched good game and was well
supported by the team. Herwig played
the best ball for the Sugar City team;
also being handy with the stick. Mike
Cleary's stop and double play to Buckley
on second and Jones on first, from hot
grounder in the tenth inning was fine
play and deserves mention.

Under Mohammedan Masters Condl.
tions Are Not Severe.
"In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are
very slow to take advantage of the
regulations that give them the right
to claim their freedom" says trav.
eler. "They realize that SO long as
they are we'll used their position is
superior to that of the man whose
freedom is his sole asset. l have
found the same attitude in North
Africa. From Morocco to Tripoli one
sees most of the slaves well content
and fourishing. The famine, the
locusts, the drought and the tax col
lector have no terror for them; work
keeps them healthy, they have enough
to eat and drink and the future has no
meaning at all. There is promotion;
there are confidential missions to
governors and friends that elevate a
slave, If only in the eyes OF his fel-
lows, and there is always chance OF
manumission when the owner dies
and wishes to have some good deeds
recorded in the books of Islam's re-
cording angels. The sorry truth OF
the matter is that slaves under Mo-
hammedan rule are much better on
than they ever were under the rule
of white men-in America and else
where"

SUGAR FACTORY SOLD
Idaho Sngar Company Absorbs the
BlackfOOt Plant

Thomas r. Cutler, of Salt Lake, act.
ing for the Idaho Sugar Company. pur-
chased the controlling interest in the
Snake River Valley Company last Mon
day. The deal was was made in Chicago,
between Mr.. Cutler and s. G. Hotchkiss.
Mr.. Cutler bought $4,000 shares, which
is practically all the stock except that
held by the Blackfoot people. The
effect of this will be to delay the build
ing of the factory on the West Side, as
it is likely they will enlarge the plant at
Blackfoot to handle the product in this
locclity for the next year at least. The
total acrage represented by contracts
held by this company will be about
1900.
