Fine Plant For Monarch Property Near
 Wickenberg
Will Be On The Ground Within Sixty
 Days
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Superintendent Chas. M. Platt, of the Monarch Mining and Smelling Company, who was in Prescott yester- day, is preparing to install a mill on the property that he is now working about ten miles east of Wiekenburg. Upon his recent trip in the eastern country he arranged for the purchase of new plant, the company deciding upon a 50 ton plant to begin with, and proper power to increase it if found necessary. A cyaniding outfit will likewise be installed, and it is ex- peeted that within a short time the machinery will be on the ground.
 When questioned as to his plans for a mill, Superintendent Platt said yes terday that all preliminaries had been completed as to the class and size of the new plant. He explained that he has sent specifications to three places for figures as to the cost of the plant. and that within the next 50 days he hopes to begin with the work of installing the machinery. The new mill will be what is commonly known as a concentrating plant, and will have a capacity of fifty tons daily. Twenty stamps will be first placed in operation, and gasoline engines may be used. The mill is expected to cost about s15,0OO, although this sum may be decidedly increased if it is found necessary to pump water from creek some three miles away from the mine, and lying about 800 feet below the level of the mill site.
 This property, which came into the hands of Superintendent Platt July, 1904, has been developed steadily since that time. Capitalists of Peoria, H. linois. are interested with Mir. Platt, and thus far approximately $21 900 has been spent in opening up the group, which is made up of seven claims. It shows exeellently as a copper proposi- tion because of the immense body of ore that has already been uncovered, and that averages high enough to jus tify mill for working it.
 A 300 foot tunnel and an upraise to the surface at low point between two mills has uncovered this big body of copper ore, and the management is eer tain of fine results. once a mill is put in operation. Originally the group Of . claims was known as the Rvland pro perty, locally called the "Three Black Buttes.'
 Among those who have been given ! an opportunity to bid on the new mill plant is we'll known local firm. Stu perintendent Platt declaring that ho would much prefer to spend the money here at home, rather than in the east. if it is possible to do so without loss to his company.
 Mir. Platt returned to the mine last

evening, and expects to return to Prescott within few days. He states that as soon as he can get figures on the new plant he will waste no time in closing the deal and getting ready to begin mining in real earnest.

to the company at Yeager station on the P. and E. railroad. and hauled across Lonesome valley and up the new Yeager canyon road to the proper ty, it being the first heavy load to be hauled over the road since it was repaired. and the contractors, Messrs. Hooker & Holiday, report that the road is in good condition for heavy work. That the grades are satisfactory IS proven by the fact that only four horses were used in the work. Here after the supplies for this company will be hauled in from Jerome. as this company has agreed to repair the road to the top of the smelter hill, the coun- ty agreeing to renew the road from that point to the point where it con meets with the P.-J. road.
 The development of this property as a producer would greatly enhance the value of claims in that immediate neighborhood, especially group own ed by Messrs. Larsen Avery, which joins the Pittsburg-Jerome, as 1t almost a certainty that if ore is exposed in the P.-J. the Larsen-Avery group also has it.
 The Cleopatra. -,
 At the Cleopatra, Foreman Hubbard is in charge during the absence Of Gen eral Manager Hull in the east. A vlslt to the mine Thursday showed that work was being pushed forward more rapid ly than usual. In the south drlft there is a showing of sulphides which encourages the belief that large body of sulphide ore may be encountered at any time. In the main tunnel and Tn the north drift, the rock is breaking to great advantage, and the outlook in both places is very encouraging.
 Ore Discovered.
 On Equator hill an interesting dis covery of ore has been made on the group of claims owned by C. H. Hook CT and Geo. Brookshire. This group is located between the Equator smelt- CT and the Equator mine. The strike was made short distance south of the Hooker saloon, and the workings are now all in ore, several tones of which is piled on the dump. This ore. while it may not assay high at the ! present depth, is undoubtedly the lead | CT to what will prove a body of pay | sulphide ore, at least this is the ex- pressed belief of all who have visited | the property.
 Will Soon Start Work.
 Preliminary arrangements are being l pushed by the Jerome Mines Develop | ment Company for the commencement | of work on the Harryhousen group, To- cated north of the United Verde mine. The diamond drill ordered has eapa- city of 15OO feet, and is one of the | latest improved machines. It is now thought that the drill will he at work | within thirty days. The work on this mine will be under the superinten' dency of MT. Harryhousen, who for twelve years was foreman of the Un- tied Verde mine. All of the work will | be virtually open to the dietation of the Jerome stockholders.

 On account of an error fifty-six of the indictments that were found by the grand jury in it's recent session and which were made in the report yesterday afternoon were thrown out and the work on the cases for which these indictments were found will have to be gone over with. The mistake that caused the indictments to be thrown out was not discovered until that body had adjourned and then 1t was too late to rectify the error.
 After the grand jury had been dis missed 1t was discovered that the fore man of the jury. R. w. Huston. had failed to sign his name as foreman of the grand jury to fifty-six of the in dictments that had been returned by that body This made the indictments illegal.
 No special session of a grand jury will be ordered by Judge Miller to go over the work that 1t took to find these ffty-six indictments, The matter will rest as 1t is until the session of the City Court next January, when tnese indictments will be brought before the grand jury of that court and care will be taken that they are returned cor rectly. The matter would have prob ably been tawen up at this session of the court and another grand jury em- pannelled by Judge Miller, but it Is expected that the work of the court will have been completed by Tuesday and there would be no use of adding an unnecessary expense to the County when the grand jury of the City Court which meets in January can do the work as well.

Trouble at Thomnston.

Selma treveling man who has been working the Linden branch of the Louisville and Nashville this week brought word here this afternoon of the attempt of a mob of white citizens at Thomaston to deal out vengeance to negro In that locality a few days ago. The report is to the effect that negro stated in the presence of several persons that he was going to quit hsi Wife and would then make the wife of certain white farmer leave with him. The farmer was told of the assertion made by the negro. whose name is given as John Webb. A few shots were exchanged between him and the white man later without either being injured
 The negro then went to his home and mob of about twenty white clti- zens armed themselves and started for the negro. Webb saw them coming and barricaded himself in his house and when the mob came close enough he began shooting and held them al bay The travelling man stated that after the mob left, the negro slipped away and has not been seen since.
 No information about the affair could be obtained from Thomaston tonight except that the operator there said there had been trouble between a rsegro and some white men. but could not give any names.

Important Meeting of Eiks.

An important meeting of Selma Lodge No 167. B. P. O. F., was held at the home Friday night. The meeting was largely attended. as there were to come before the lodge several questions of vital importance to the members. Dur ing the week notices had been sent out to the members that at the meeting held last night the question as to whether the buffet of the home should be closed or not would be acted upon.
 The meeting last night decided that the buffet should be closed. It seems that for some time past this important adjunct to the home has been loosing money for the lodge. The action taken last night by the lodge has brought considerable dissention among the members, who are asking themselves how long the elegant home that the lodge has built OF the river bank at the corner of Walter and Lauderdale Streets will remain the property of the lodge
 The proceeds from the buffet have helped largely to pay the running ex- penses of the home and have also gone.
