Uncle John Haynie died at Paradise
last Sunday from the effects of screw
worms in the head. In response to a
telegram Thos. II. Bell went to Para
disc, but Mr.. Haynie was dead before
he got there. John Haynie was one of
the oldest prospectors in Arizona. He
came to this country in 1871 and was
at FIT. Grant when it was built. Pros
pect holes of his digging can be found
in any part of the territory. For more
than dozen years he has pinned his
faith to the Horse Shoe mines north of
Stafford. Mr.. Haynie was native of
Tennessee, 81 years old September 1.

C0CHISE COUNTY
Where Mining, the Chief Industry, is
Very Active

From FL Paso News
Harry Alexander, general manager
of the Cochise Consolidated Copper
company, at Paradise, Arizona, is in
Ell Paso and reports to the News that
excellent progress is being made out
there in developing properties already
settled upon and in opening up new
ones. Mr.. Alexander expects to leave
for the east in few days to purchase
a concentration for his company. He
says the Chricahua Development com
pany has erected some heavy hosting
machinery at its mine and that num-
ber of other mines will soon put in suf-
ficient machinery to warrant the South
western railroad in considering the
camp permanent one and constructing
a spur to it from Rodeo.
From the Bisbee Review.
A splendid building to cost $75, 900 is
to be erected on the johnson addition
as soon as the plans for the structure
can be finished. The building will be
for use as miners boarding house and
will be constructed on lines that will
make it probably the finest home de-
voted to the use of workingmen in the

Joe Trappman left recently for Lon

Trappman has promising prospect in

the ledge goes down. The assays show
that it is good low-grade milling pro-

VANADlUM DISCOVERED
IN A CHARLESTON MINE

| have just had the pleasure of visit
ing a mining property in the suburbs
of the deserted city of Charleston, south
of Fairbank, which is entirely out of
the ordinary. The property belongs to
Joe Larrieu and is within the shadow
of the crumbling adobe walls, still
standing as a reminder of the departed
glory of the Queen of the San Pedro
Valley" which flourished in the early
sos in the days when Jerry Barton did
the artistic act with every thing from
his fist to pump gun.
The property referred to consists Of
one claim, about which several others
could be located to advantage. The pro-
duct shows many different forms of
lead, some of it being steel galena run
ming as high as 60 per cent.
This feature is, however, the least
interesting in the case. The lead in the
proposition takes the form of vanad-
ium. The concentrates of vanadium,
according to Prof. Burnston of Tucson.
as good authority on metallurgy as the
territory has, are worth $1,000 a ton.
From them vanadic acid is manufac-
tured, which possesses greater harden
ing properties on steel than tungsten
and is in special demand by the Krupp
people in the manufacture of high
power guns. Vanadic acid is worth
$3.50 per pound. Vanadium was first
brought to the notice of the scientific
world in 1880 by Prof. Sefstrom and
has been in demand ever since. Mining

once did, but by working five hours a

from which so much gold was taken,

Supt. j. S. Sessions, of the Gold

ished grading for lO-stamp mill and
that they will put in cyanide plant
also, sufficient to handle from 40 to so

Wickenburg, Ariz, is to have smell
ter within short time if the plans
of the Acme Smelling and Refining
company, Los Angeles corporation
with Offices in the Hellman building,
are carried out as the promoters anti
cipate. Wickenburg is in the Black
Hills district in the central part of the
territory, and directly on the line of
the Arizona and California railway now
under construction. Surrounding it are
a number of mines which are very well
spoken of, such as the Old Vulture, the
O'Brien, the White and the Orc Grande,
some of which have established repu-
tations. The Goddard company of this
city has its properties within short
distance says the Journal Miner.
The company is organized and backed
chiefly by Arizona capital. The officers

secretary and treasurer; DIR. o. Z.

The district produces gold, copper,
silver and lead. The ore is smelling

of the district are shipped to the FL
Paso smelter, and pay freight charges
of $40 per ton. This destroys the pro-
fit on any but the higher grades. The
new establishment will be a strictly
custom plant, the company operating
no mines.

PROCLAMATION OF OFFER OF
REWARD
Bv the Governor OF Arizona

Whereas, l have been officially in
formed that Samuel S. Plunkett and
Edward f. Kennedy, citizens of Gila
county, this Territory, were murdered
on the 18th day of July, 1905, by some
nerson or persons unknown; and
Whereas, The Sheriff of said Gila
county has requested me to offer on be-
half of the Territory reward for the
arrest of the murderer or murderers of
the said Samuel s. Plunkett and Ed
ward +. Kennedy; and in support
of his request has stated that the
whereabouts of the said murderer or
murderers is unknown to him; and that
there is reason to fear that the perpe-
traitors of the said murders will escape
arrest unless reward is offered by the
Territory for their apprehension; and
Whereas. 1t appears that the said
Sheriff of ella county, and his deputies
have used due diligence in their efforts
to apprehend the said murderers, and
so far have failed in such efforts; and
Whereas, 1t appears that extraordi-
nary reasons exist for resorting to this
method of aiding in the capture of the
fugitives.
Now, therefore, l, Joseph H. Kibbey,
Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the
power and authority in me vested by
law, do hereby offer reward of Five
Hundred Dollars for the arrest and con
viction of the murderer, or of any of
the murderers, if there are more than
one, of the aforesaid Samuel S. Plum
kett apd Edward f. Kennedy, or for
the murderer or murderers of either of
them.
In Witness Whereof, have hereunto

The Weeks Mining News as Reported
by the Miner

Pilgrim mine very rich ore has been
encountered. Specimens show masses
of gold. The streak is two feet in
width and is said to run $500 to the
ton in gold, with some silver. In the
bottom of the shaft the vein is some
what broken, although it carries some
values.
Four or five feet of high-grade ore
was struck in the Minnesota Connor
mine, in the crosscut on the 800 level,
this week. The ore is of the same
character as that taken from the upper
levels of the mine many years ago by
Kelly & McKinnon, from which these
leasers made fortune.
The hoisting plant on the America,
one of the Enterprise group of mines,
is complete and the work of cleaning
out the shaft and preparing to sink is
under way. The mine shows an i'm
mense body of copper ore and it is ex-
pected that this ore will appreciate in
values below the water level. The
mine is but eighteen miles east of
kingman and in one of the most access
ible parts of the Wallapai mountain.
The Sheeptrai mill is in readiness to
begin dropping stamps and by the first
of the week the plant will be in full
operation. Some of the best ore from
the Katherine mine will be put through
the mill and will be experimental on
to get the best method of extraction.
Plates and cyanide will be used. At
the mine the shaft is being sunk in
rich ore.
San Francisco people have taken an
option on the Payroll mine and an ex-
animation will be made of the property
in few days. The mine is one of the
big properties in the Chloride section
and ought to be producing a large
daily tonnage of ore
The Arizona Mexican Mining and
Smelling company is removing the
Needles smelter from its old location
and will rebuild it some distance far

country.

arrived in Kingman Thursday evening
and departed the following morning in
company of p. McCardell to the mines.
The property is now being worked un-

feet below the old level of 81 feet. 1t
is expected that the contract will be
completed today. The JET. is one of
the largest veins in the county and car

ing company at Stockton Hill last

of which is unknown. Mr.. Godshall
