TO SPEND s5o,ooo ON THE GREAT
 REPUBLIC.
(From Sundays Daily.)

"We intend to spend about $50,0OO more in the development of our mining properties before We consider the cree. ton of n reduction plant" said ]. NJ. Sullivan, president of the Great Re. public Mining and Smelling company 10 Journal Miner man yesterday.
 He said "we are now down to n depth of 725 feet in our main shaft, and in the crosscut which is being run to determine the width of the ledge at that depth we have cut through seven feet of gold and copper ore which is richer than anything yet struck in our development work. We are also run. ming drifts in each direction along the vein from the shaft in which wa expect to tap large bodies of ore which have shown up on the surface and on higher levels, and intend Co resume sinking and keep on to depth of 1000 feet as soon as these levels are run in n distance of 200 or 300 feet from the shaft. A peculiar feature of ou- op erations is that there is no water eD' countered except where we tap ore bodies. When we broke into the ore body on the 700 foot level, the water which was being pumped from the 400 foot drift gave out which proves that the ore body tapped at the 700 is the same one that we had on the 100. The ore struck in the crosscut nt the lower level is much richer than the ore found on the upper levels. which is very en- couraging to the company
 He further stated that he was max ing arrangements to start sinking on another shaft which Is now down to depth of 200 feet. and in which there was very good showing of carbonate ore, which sampled well in copper and gold.
 A large force of men have been em' ployed there for the past three years and the development work has been done with the view Of opening up the property in minerlike fashion prepar"t ory to operating 1t on n large sca'' when the time is ripe for the erection of large reduction plant

W. H. Rickey Arrested On Board The
 Train
Prisoner Pretended To Be a Wealthy
 Miner

There was quite n little wonder, no, 10 say excitement, caused at the depot last evening just before the south. bound Diamond Jo pulled out by the lively movements of the city police cf6ccrs, and deputy sherifYs. headed by sheriff Lowry, accompanied by J. E. Mccoy, in search of n recent arrival from the east, who is said to have had n check cashcd by the latter gentleman which proved on investiga. lion to be of no value, and who, in company with his wife, was about to leave the city for the southern part of the territory without rcimbursing Me. Coy in the amount of the worthless pa. per.
 The search was not n fruitless one, for the party was found in the Pull. man. with n ticket already purchased and his baggage checked and in the baggage car, when he was promptly placed under arrest md escorted to the county jail, where at the hour of going to press he was being held in safe keeping.
 Several days ago w. 1T. Hickey, in company with his wife, arrived at ,he Burke hotel, and engaged rooms there. Later on he presented n cheek for $250 to J. F. Mccoy drawn on bank in Saginaw, Mich, which Mccoy cashcd for him.
 The check was deposited in the Prescott National Bank by Mccoy, who gave instructions to the cashier to wire the cashier of the bank in Sag. naw upon which the check was drawn 10 learn whether it was good or not. Early yesterday an answer was re- eeived stating that Hickey had no funds in the bank.
 Mccoy then instituted a search for Hickey, and on finding him volunteered the information that the cheek was no good, and requested the return of the amount. This Hickey promised to do, with the understanding that no legal proceedings would be instituted against him. Mccoy called the attcn' ton of the officers to the transaction, and Hickey was kept under survcil- lance.
 About seven minutes before train time last evening, Hickey settled up accounts at the Burke hotel, engaged sn exprcssman to take his trunk to the depot. and with his wife hurriedly took a hack for the train. On arriving at the depot his wife purchased two tickets for Phoenix, and both of them secured bcrths in the Pullman, where he was arrested by sheriff Lowry and his deputies.
 During his short residence in this city Hickey represented himself as mining engineer and the owner of rich placer mines in the state of Oregon and also informed many with whom se became acquainted that his wife was the daughter of n wealthy banker of Saginaw, Mich. It is also stated that in addition to the $250 worthless check which he had cashed by J. F. Mccoy he also passed another check for sl4.5O on the same gentleman
