at Flagstaff was great shock to his
many friends. He was a member of
a former territorial legislature and
for number of years was chairman
of the board of supervisors of Coco

A shipment of ore was sent to the
Needles smelter last week by Grant
McCesson and John Schemmelpfen-
mig, from the Good Luck mine, White
Hills, that netted nearly S40O to the
ton. The ore carried the values in
gold and silver.-Kingman Miner.
The total fees received by the ter
ritory for the month of March for
the filing of articles of Incorporation,
amount to s5,O96,2O That is the
largest months business ever done
since the incorporation business was
2 Etransferred to the Office of the audi
tor, and probably larger than any
previous months business.
The Woolley mine closed down last
week. There we're fourteen men at
work on the property. Our informa-
tion says the Woolley is good prop
erty, and that at the 300-fOot level
they have a 22-foot vein of good ore.
At the present time they are down
528 feet. The reason for its closing
we have not learned, but it will un-
doubtedly resume operations shortly.

w. C. Greene has picked up an
other big ranch and bunch of cattle.
Last week he bought the ranch of
Louis BOLIVIA, in the CocOspera yal-
ley, adjoining the Proto ranch, and
the price paid was 100000. The
ranch lands include an area six miles
square, and 5000 head of cattle are
included in the deal. The Bolivar is
one of the oldest and best known
ranch properties along the fertile
valley of the Cocospera.-
Juan Alvarez, the Yaqui who club
bed a couple of men to death at
Maricopa couple of months ago,
has been, taken to Yuma. Immedi-
ately after the killing or as soon
after as Alvarez got sober, for the
whole thing occurred in the course of
a drunken affray, he said that the
killing of which he remembered lit
tie, had been done in selfdefense.
His story of his persecution by the
two men seemed reasonable. But
when the case came up he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to twenty
years.
Word was received from George B.
Upton, superintendent of the Orc
Grande mines, that his company on
last week started a diamond drill to
work, says the Journal-Miner. The |
drill is making from twenty to thirty |
feet each eight hour shift and work
ing very satisfactorily. The Orc
Grande promises to be one of the |
biggest mining propositions in the
territory and some time since Mr.. |
Upton and his associates recognized |
that, owing to the great extent of
their ore bodies, old customs would |
have to be relegated to the rear and !
development and prospecting done
by the modern methods.
an important producer in the War
rem district, and regular shipments
of ore are now received from this
property at the Copper Queen smell
ter at Douglas. The Shattuck prop |
erty adjoins the Pittsburg and
Duluth, a Bonanza circle holding, |
which is also one of the new produc-
ers of the district. 1t is expected /
that one of the important matters to
be considered at the annual meeting
will be the provision of reduction
works for the Shattuck. 1t is known
that Douglas is a favorite location
for these works with several of the
important stock holders of the COM
pany; providid satisfactory and ad-
vantageous site can be secured

Speaking of the coal miners strike,
Henry Clews says: ''At this time it
is especially unfortunate, because of
its effect upon an over-sensitive and
somewhat hysterical state of public
opinion. The latter is considerably
iucensed at the abuses of both organ
ized capital and organized labor, and
it realizes that any concessions to
the latter must result in an increased
price for a commodity which is al
ready selling at abnormally high
figures. 1t is quite evident that
prolonged rupture between capital
and labor at this time would accentu-
ate the public demand for govern
ment interference.
