TURKEY. CREEK NOW MAKING
 DAILY alIIPA6ENfs.
(From wedneoday's Daily.


 "Therc have been more than . dozen different camps started up in the past month in the Turkey creek district, and shipments of ore from the Turkey station on tho Bradshaw Mountain railroad now average moro than a carload day,' said John Riley, tho mining man, yesterday to . Journal. Miner man.
 "This great activity" he said, "is the result of the blowing in of the Humboldt smelter, and the liberal terms offered by the management of tho new plant. Hundreds of tons of ore lie on the dumps of old mincs which are now being sorted out, and the develop. ment of properties having large bodies of medium grade ore, .sAt were prAe. ticaIiy worthless year ago, when smelter charges ranged from t15 to &25, is now being commenced since 1t became known that treatment rates at tho new plant averaged from t7.50 to $I0 to the ton. There is no question but that the Bradshaw mountains will be ono of the busiest sections In tho entire territory this coming summer. 1"
 The district referred to by Mir. Riley was one of the most active in north ern Arizona up to the time of the de. cline in the price of silver. It's noun. tains and foothills are intersecteo by large porphyry, iron and diorite dykes. running southwestcrly and northeasterly, along which many pro. missing mining claims are being opened, showing good sized deposits of orc car. rying values in gold, silver, and cop. per.
 Riley Ia one of the old timers of the district, who carly realized its i'm. mense natural mineral resources. He is one of the original locators of the De Soto mines, the output of which now keeps one train steadily employed between the camp and the new smelt. er where it is treated. He has q mum. ber of patented mines in the district, which he is developing in a modest way, meeting with good results.

Supervisor Barney Smith, clerk of the board of supervisors J. II. Robinson and chief of the fire department A. A. Johns, returned yesterday from San Francisco, where they delivered Ya' vapai countys consignment of three carloads oi cattle to the relief com, mittee of the stricken city. All are un. animOus in the statement that the re. ports read in the newspapers of the damage done were not exaggerated and that the wreck bcggars all dcscrip. tion. They are of the opinion that the loss of life will exceed 1000, a large number being killed and covered up in the ruins that will never be identified. On Monday last milk. man, horse, wagons and cans wee discovered under n fallen brick wall on Post street, and similar gruesome finds are almost of daily occurrence.
 When the party arrived in the wreck. cd city they were met by n number Of wealthy men well known in this city who were absolutely penniless, it being impossible to obtain any funds on account of the destruction of the buildings occupied by tho banking in. stitntions. Under these conditions the wealthy were equally as helpless as the poor who depended on n daily wage for their bread, and were compelled to nc. cept the hospitality of the nation until supplies with enough funds to relieve their immediate wants from friends in outside places.
 All three speak highly of the wei. come and courtcsics extended to them ny the city, state and government off. 'i"'s' and say that they have no fur. 'her curiosity to witness such scenes or destruction and devastation.
 On the return trip J. l. Roberts. who was one of the party, stopped over in LOS Angeles on business.

MINER INJURED BY A DESCEND
 ING SKIP.
(From Thursdays Daily)

A very peculiar accident, which luck. lily was not attended with fatal results, happened in the working shaft being sunk on the properties of the Mount Union Consolidated Mines company, in the Mount Union section on Monday last, whe Joe Pcrpich, miner cm. ploycd in the mine collided with n descending skip knocking him from the runway and breaking his collar bone, besides infiicting other painful injuries.
 From the information at hand it appears that number of miners were ascending the manway in the shaft from the lower levels when Pcrpich, for some inexplicable reason, apparent. ly not content with climbing his way out by the usual way, started to ascend on the skipway, eolliding with the de. scending skip, which knocked him to the station below, and inflicted the in. juries above described.
 The injured man was taken to the surface, and Dr. Southworth of this city notified. He immediately left for the camp and reduced the fracture, besides attending to the other injuries of the suffering man.
 On Tuesday Perpich insisted on walking around the camp with his arm released from the sling, which resulted in second dislocation of the collar bone, causing severe pain, and the phy. sici"n, after again reducing the frac. ture, ordered the patient taken to the Mercy hospital here, where he is now resting easily

 ASH FORK.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Ash Fork, the scene of two rob. berries within the past ten days, was again touched up on Monday night last, when two burglars entcrbi the room occupied by Ed. Dunham on the second story of the Ash Fork hotel and appropriated all the valuable ar ticlcs of clothing in sight.
 From the information at hand it appears that up to Monday the room was occupied solely by Dr. Dunham and telegraph operator, the latter leaving for southern California on that day, employing before he depart cd two Mcxicans to take his trunks from the place.
 One of the Mcxicans, who is minus m arm, is m old offender, and suspi. cion naturally centcring on him, the vigilance of the officers was rewarded carly in the day when he offered n pair of shoes belonging to Durham for sale at n reduced price. His arrest promptly followed, but hc refused to reveal the identity of his partner tc tho crime, who is thought to have sue cceded in making his escape from the town.
 He was arraigncd before the jus tice of tho peace there yesterday and pleading guilty, was sentenced to 60 days in the county jail. Deputy She riR Foley arrived here last evening having the prisoner in charge and | placed him in the custody of the she riff . office.

CENTURY MINE IN HANDS or
 NEW COMPANY.
(From Thursday's Daily.)

A deal was closed yesterday where by the title to the Century group of mines passed from F. N. Sanford to the Century Consolidated Mines com. pany, corporation recently organized by eastern capitalists who have am plc funds to develop tho propcties, which arc considered among the most promising in the IIassayampa district.
 Arrangements have already been per. fcctcd to continue the 2l2 foot shaft now on the ground to n depth Of GOO feet, from which n series of latcrals will bc run to open n network of five veins which have good surface show. ings
 From . mere prospect and without the aid of outside capital, Y. M. San. ford has developed the mine to it's present stage. This new deal did not involve cash payment in it's consid- cration, the company agreeing to fur nish capital to do certain amount of development work, Sanford having great faith in Its future possibilities, refusing to sell his entire interests outright.
 The group, which consists of 2s claims, is situate on the western slope of the Lynx and Wolf creek divide, overlooking that part of the Hassa. yampa river whose rich placer depos. it's as far back as 1864 induced miner, from other fields to brave tho dangers of the Apache cutthroat, and the for bidding desert to share in its golden rewards.
 Large porphyry dikes in which are associated a network of veins of good width carrying values in gold averaging over $i5 to the ton, cut through the granite formation of the | country. An analysis of the ledge matter shows that it contains IF per cent of lime, which is considered by miners familiar with this part of the territory to be positive proof of the ex- istence of large ore bodies within n reasonable depth.
 The shaft is equipped with n first class hoisting plant, and comfortable quarters for q large force of men. Dc. sides all necessary camp buildings. A good wagon road leads to Prescott, the nearest railroad station, . distance of nine miles, and a never failing supply of water, with plenty of timber suitable for mining purposes exists on the ground. The climatic conditions are such that operations can he carried on the entire year without interference from washouts or hesvy snowfalls.

TRUSTEES HOIST TEACHERS
 WAGES.
(From Wednesdays Daily.


 Apparently the finances of school district No. |, which is the city of Prescott, are in a healthy and plcthoric condition, judging from the action of tho school hoard, which at a recent meeting made raises in teachers sal aries that aggregate si,27j for the coming year
 Nearly half of this amount will hc drawn by the superintendent, whose annual stipend has been increased from s2,OOo to se,5Oo.
 It developed al the meeting that nt a conference held some time in the month of March and prcvious to the recent school election, between tho board and the teachers, including the principal, that all were promised rc. ncwal of their contracts, and except in . few cases at an increase of salary. The action taken at the recent meet. ing of the trustees can only be con. strucd as carrying out the policies out lined by tho former board. and keep. ing it's antc.clcction promises with the corps of teachers.
 In making the motion to advance tho superintendent salary, Trustee Clay. pool explained that tho board had promised MT. Billinghurst last year that if he would remain another year that his salary would be raised &500.
 Besides tho raise given the supcrin. tcndcnt, Miss Helm of the high school was given an increase from Sl00 to el2O per month, while her associates, Miss Globes, Miss Miller and Miss 0arnctt werc treated to a monthly ad. vance of from $i0O to $ii2.50.
 In the grade departments, Miss Beidclmsn, Miss Carpenter. and Miss Edwards were presented with an in. crease of t5 per month, their former contract calling for ssO, and Miss Catherine Allen was also given an advance from S75 to &s0.
 It is reported that several teachers who were not on the favored list. are quietly arranging to secure other posi- tions. as they resent the alleged dis cTimination.

(From ThuFsday's Daily.)


 On Monday last County Assessor D. J. Sullivan seized 2, 200 head of goats belonging to Hibben and Emmett of Coconino county, on the refusal of the owners to pay taxes on the same in this county, claiming that they had returned the assessment to the assessor of Coeonino county.
 From the information at hand it appears that Hibben and Emmett purchased tho largest portion of the stock in this county, and . small mum. ber in Maricopa county, and were grazing the ruminants in this county slowly working their way towards Co. eonino county, which they expected to reach with the herd in the month of June after the assessing season closes.
 Tho assessor, it is said, claims that inasmuch aS the stock never reached Coconino county, that the taxes on the Samc should be paid here, claiming that the herd, under the circumsta nces is not subject to the transient sheen law, which permits the payment of the taxes in the county where the owner makes his headquarters for his stock the county collecting the taxes after. wards paying into the treasury of the county through which the herds have been grazed n pro rata for the time the stock were within it's boundaries

BEvERIDoE TRIES TO EXPLAIN
 HIMSELF.

A special dispatch from Washington to the St. Louis Globe Democrat says that Senator Bcveridgc resents the recent publication which represents him as telling members of the house of representatives that thcrs would pro. bably be no statehood report from the confcrecs during this session, and that the whole matter would go over until next session. Hc also denounces as incorrect and untrus tho intimation that there has been unduc delay and no earnest enort on the part of the conference to reach an agreement. He explains that tho confcrecs have had long and frequent meetings. and, in fact, have been together and tried to straighten out the intricacies of the legislation as quickly as possible. He says tho work has been ss earnest and continuous as the discharge of tho oth. CT important legislative duties by the members of the conference committed would permit.
 He also says that he was under no special pledge to Senator Forakcr in connection with tho statehood bill Whatever Mr. Bcveridgc may say foI publication any one who knows the statehood situation and the circum stances under which he was appointed one of the conferees knows that he is peculiarly bound to stand against rc. ceding and accepting tho house propo. sition as long as Senator Foraker and the leading senators who were instru. mental in knocking out tho provisions of tho bill for New Mexieo and Arizona want him to stand. It is we'll under. stood that Beveridgc had given as surances that he would stand for the Forakcr ideas which majority of the senate had shown by their votes they supported.
 Now h is clear that Beveridgc will stand by the Foraker and the senate position in opposition to the house as long as the senate sentiment demand thnt hc do so. There is s strong be. lief in the minds of those who have watched the deelopmcnt of matters in relation to statehood that in the end Foraker and his associates will agree to the acceptance of a bill with the Foraker amendment which provides for the reference of the question of nc. cepting statehood to vote of the peo. pie of New Mexico and Arizona, and that they will rcccde from the Bur. rows amendment which strikes all ref. ercnce to statehood for these two ter. ritorics out of the bill. It will prob. ably not be worked out in day and perhaps not until the very closing hours of the session, but that this will bc the ultimate decision, conservative men of both houses agree.
