 John Boyle and Edward Wyman
 will go to Needles this week, where they will install plant of machinery of new type. This new machine will develop energy from solar heat, the rays of the sun being projected against water-jacketed generator, which will raise the tempature of the
 water to from 160 to ITO degrees, and
 which gasifies the liquid in the gen. orator, creating great pressure. This gas is then used in an engine the same as steam. After passing through the exhaust port the gas is condensed and pumped back into the rrp 1rr- the operation. The plant is of six teen horse power capacity and will operate a centrifugal pump. If the test is successful the machine will work a revolution in the operation of irrigating and other machinery in this country, where fuel is one of the problems to be reckoned with.-King- man Miner.
 The "blow" fly is certainly getting in its work in Arizona. Bisbee now has two cases where this fly has en- tered the nostrils of people, laid its magot-produCing eggs and the eggs have matched and a terrible condi- tion has resulted. Last night sixty or seventy worms were taken out of the nose of Ed. Prenty and there is a patient in the Copper Queen hospi- tai who is undergoing treatment for this same trouble. The local doctors say that the danger is in the daytime when anyone lays down and falls asleep. The blow fly, like many other breeds of the fly family, sleeps at night, but in the daytime is ac- tive. It is advisable for those who sleep in the daytime to cover their faces with a mosquito netting while this plague is flying about in the air. Ed Prenty is able to be about the streets this week, but his condition is none too good, and he may be se- riously ill as a result of the work of the little hy.--Miner.
 Judge Sloan rendered decision in favor of the Yavapai Copper com pany and against the county which is of interest to mining men in general. The Yavapai Copper company had applied for q patent to twenty-five claims in the Black Hills section. The patents were advertised for in a Prescott paper; final proofs were made and final receipts issued. Then a Jerome paper entered protest against the legality of the patents, for the reason that the law requires for patent to be pub lished in paper printed nearest the claims. The contention of the Je- rome paper was sustained, and two years later the patents were repub- lished in the Jerome paper. In the intervening time, the claims had been assessed for taxes, and on the suit brought from the taxes Judge Sloan decided against the county, holding that the property was not legally subject to taxation, for the reason that it's owners had not full title to same from the gov ernment: the gist of the decision be- ing that until such ownership was had the land would revert to the public domain upon failure of holders to do annual assessment work. Only improvements on unpatented claims are aSsesSable under the law Courier.
