Scotty's Battle" a Myth.

Col. NJ. Hogan arrived in Clifton this week direct from Death Valley,
 where he had been prospecting for some months past. The Colonel left Clifton more than year ago for Gold fields and Bullfrog, where he had men prospecting on grub stakes, who made several good locations from which some rich ore was shipped, but the values failed to average more than 1908 per ton, hence at the present time the property is not self supporting,
 but it is being steadily developed. He run onto Scotty, the Death Valley mystery, and was present when Scotty's alleged battle took place. His version of the affair differs materially from that given by Scotty to the Los An geles newspaper men. The Colonel says that as a matter of fact there was no battle except in the vivid imagina- tion of Scotty. The Colonel says that he and his three partners were pros pecting in a gulch when Scotty cane along. Scotty seemed to be very nerv- ous and immediately attempted 10 draw his gun, and in doing so handled it so awkwardly that it was accident ally discharged, and Scotty shot him. self. He says that he does not remem- Der ever before having seen as awk- ward man with gun. Why, he says, Scotty could have been shot a dozen times by himself or any of his men, before he could clear his gun from the scabbard. After the shooting the Colonel took Scotty to his camp and kept him three days, until he was able to travel, when they loaned him a horse, and sent him on. Scotty's $ mule ''slim' ran away when his mas ter fell off, and eventually made h. S way back to Scotty's emp. Colon,

The question having been asked: "Where in the western states is at present the best place to prospect dur ing the next three mOnths?'' Con centrates" would suggest that southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona and southern California at present offer the best inducements to the prospe, . tor for several reasons. First, there is a large area in that desert region not thoroughly prospected, owing to diff culties of transportation, and scarcity of water: the former is, however, be- ing simplified by the construction of railroads, and the establishment of near towns and mining camps in that region from which the prospector may radiate with more safety than hereto fore. Second, the ores are often high grade and can be shipped to distant points for reduction, rendering mills or other reduction works unnecessary. Third, any promising prospect in the region above referred to could readily be sold at proper price, owing to the unusual interest at present being talk en in the mining industry there. Fourth, it is the best part of the year to prospect in the desert, the weather being generally fine and water more abundant than during the summer months. Outfits can be bought at any of the larger towns in the region, which relieves the prospector of the necessity of packing tools, provisions, etc., into the mining region.-M. x $. Press.

ton and power plant erected at that point. Carrying out of the enterprise will involve an expenditure of about 75O,0O0S which sum has been arranged for. Delay in making beginning on the work has been occasioned by ne cessity for getting government permit to cross an intervening forest reserve with the power line. Mir. Cox stated that this permit had just been secured, and that nothing now stands in the way of making beginning, which it is the purpose to do at once. The power that will be afforded Clifton and Morenci by the enterprise will be of great importance to the two big copper camps.-Douglas American.

Hogan, who is a man of renowned yer acity, says that this is all there was to that wonderful and mysterious ''bat- tie with bandits" that was so vividly described and illustrated in the Los Angeles newspapers. The Colonel did not exactly say so in so many word: {, but by insinuation he conveyed the inn pression that Scotty was eager for newspaper notoriety and had worked the Los Angeless press to a frazzle.- Copper Era.

A Globe dispatch of January 10th says: The first payment was made to- day, through the First National Bank of Globe, by Hoval A. Smith and H. B. Hovland on bonds for the Taylor, Woods, Bird and other groups, total ing 60 claims, or about 900 acres of mining land, adjoining the Old Do minion and United Globe properties. The payment amounted to 42,OOOs.
 At a regular meeting of the share holders of the Globe-Boston Copper Mining Co.,, held in this city last week, a proposition was considered for the sale of the entire assets of that corporation to A. Hoval Smith and as- sociates of Bisbee, Arizona, for the sum of 135, ,OOOS, the purchasers assum- ing a mortgage of 3O,OOOS on the mines, held by the former owners, Mir. and Mrs. w. J. Mallory. Present at the meeting were Wm. Magley, president, and E. Schaeffer, secretary of the com pany, from Cincinnati, Ohio, and prox- ies representing 1,lSl, ,55l shares of a total issue of 1,457,957 were voted unanimously in favor of the proposed sale. s. E. Hazard represented the buyers and the transfer was completed without delay. The first payment has been made in cash and approximately one-half the purchase price is to be paid within six months. The final pay ment of 7,5OOS is due January 15, 1907. All payments are to be made in cash. This deal marks the entering of the c. X A. wedge into the Globe mining district, and the dawn of the era of in creased prosperity for this camp Clifton Copper Era.
 R. J. Rice, general manager for the Hite Gold Mining Co.,, after having I searched through Idaho and other states for mining properties for his company, has decided that our district i is the most promising and has pur- chased the King Solomon's mines from i Jack Ellis, the price being 35,0JU5. Six men are now at work on the prop erty and in the near future a hoist will be erected and the development of the property will be vigorously eX- ecuted. Paul R. Brinton, one of the members of the company, has opened an assay office in the old News-Herald building and will do the laboratory work for the company as well as out side work. The King Solomon has long been known as valuable and now that this wealthy Pittsburg company has taken hold of it we may expect soon to find il on the list of big pro- ducers. In the meantime the develop ment of this property will add its share of prosperity to Wickenburg - News-Herald.

The Western Queen Mines Company, which owns a group of six claims near Poland, has started men at work get ting properties in shape for further de- velopment. In the neighborhood of l0O.OO worth of work has been done on these properties. There is a great deal of ore on the dumps and plenty of it exposed in the workings. The rise in the price of silver, coupled with the erection of the Arizona Smelling Company's plant at Hum- boldt, leaves no question about the profitable working of this property Prescott Courier.
 It is reported that big mining deal has just been completed here. It is understood that Boston capitalists have purchased property in the Helvetia district. The property which is un- derstood to have been sold is the Ome- ga, which was owned by Louis Zecken- dorf. It is understood that the con- iteration was more than POO, GODS. The Omega was one of the first patented mines in the Helvetia district. It ad- joins the Isle Royal shaft of the Hell vetia company The Isle Royal is one of the big producers of the Helvetia company.-Tucson Citizen.
 That the Senator mine, located twelve miles south of Prescott, is all right and that the great Senator tun- nel, now in over 2,5OO feet, has not been driven in vain, continues to be demonstrated, says the Courier. The latest news is that the north drift from this great tunnel, on the Ten Spot vein, has exposed a ledge eight feet wide of fine concentrating ore, while the south drift from the same tunnel on the same ledge has exposed two feet of almost solid galena ore. When it is considered that this ore is ex- posed in a tunnel driven in at the base of the mountain range, some idea may be formed of how the Hassayampa dis trict ledges ''go down." This remark able showing will stimulate deep min ing throughout the district, and the coming season will, no doubt, see hun dreds of men at work on the various groups of mines and a big reduction plant in operation at Senator.
 The new year was hailed with de- light by local shareholders of the New England and Clifton Copper company for the reason that shipments of ore were commenced on that date, which means that from now on the company will be on self-supporting basis. Ore is now being hauled by wagons from the mines at the rate of fifteen tons per day, which will be increased to forty or fifty tons per day as soon as the tramway can be completed, which will no doubt be in operation sometime in February. The company are now working forty men in their mines and a small force on the construction of the tramway, which will be increased. besides the men employed in trans porting the ores, makiny in all quite a nice payroll, which will be felt in business circles.-Copper Era.
