J. A. Forbes, general manager of the Independence group of mines. in the Hassayampa mining district, came in yesterday from his mining camp. He states that the new Lane mill bas been installed at his mines and will be started on a steady run as soon as isoo feet of water pipe purchased some time ago is delivered on the ground. and the pipe line completed from the spring to the mill.
 The mill has capacity of 30 toms daily and is especially adapted to the treatment of the class of orc in the the mine, which is soft and free mill. ing.
 The mine is opened by two tunnels. which arc connected by a winze. n large amount of ore being blocked out and ready for stoping as soon as the mill is started on the ores already mined. W

PUBLICITY TO BE OWEN THIS
 COUNTY.

Mines, has entered heart and soul into the plan of advcr- tising the resources of Yavapai county. The object for which they are striving is to see Yavapai come into her rights as tho richest and best developed county in the Southwest, and Prescott n city of 10000 population, and that they will succeed is made apparent by the judicious manner in which they have inaugurated an advertising cam. paign that is bound to bring results.
 It costs money to advertise, but it pays. So thought the Publicity Com mittee. A few subscribers were seen, and agreed to pay each certain sum monthly, for one year. The Commit tee, working without compensation, has held several meetings weekly, and with the money in hand and in

MERRILL MULLER MILL RUN
 MADE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

An initial run was recently made of the new Merrill Muller mill on the prospects of the Climax Mining com. pany, in Cherry Creek, the plant prov ing satisfactory in every way, and in the opinion of mining men who saw II in action, it IS most advantagcously, situated for economic operation, the power being derived from q water wheel, eliminating the expense of op cration and repair of a power plant. Nine dollars ton ore, sampling $33, was saved on the plates, the remain ing values going into the tailings, which will be treated as soon as the new Deistcr concentrations. purchased some time ago, are delivered on the ground and installed.
 It developed during the trial run that the water supply was sufficient for plant of double the capacity of the one erected, and the company is now making preparations for the in stallation of another mill and concen. trating plant as soon as the present one is completed and in running order.
 The holdings of the company com. prise six claims, located about seven. teen miles east of Dewey, the nearest railroad station on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad. The mine is open. ed by three shafts 60, s5 and 1Ot feet deep, respectively, the paystreak show ing a width in all of the openings ranging from one to three feet of clean ore of an average value of $l2.5O to the ton in gold. The vein runs in a northeasterly and southwcstcrly dircc. tion, following n porphyry dyke, and is easily mined.
 What is known as tho Climax shaft, which is now down to n depth of s5 feet, showing a three foot paystreak all the way down, will be continued to a depth of 800 feet, levels Co bc run from every 100 foot station, as depth is gained, and the vein thoroughly ex. plored. The location of this shaft is such that the ore can be run from it into the mill by the gravity system thus afording great saving of cx. pensc in it's transportation.
 J. R. Boyer, who has had number of years experience in the mining and l treatment of the ores of the district IS general manager of the concern, and he is enthusiastic over it's great future possibilities when opened under intel ligcnt management.

GUILTY OF MURDER IN FIRST
 DECREE.
(FPom Thursday's Daiiy.)

Yesterday, in the District Court, the case of Jesus Eschcvicra, charged with the murder of Jesus Ccndiges, in Jer. ome, on the afternoon of July 20, was taken up and concluded. the jury, af. ter deliberating an hour, returning n verdict to the effect that the defend. ant was guilty of murder in the first degree, and fixing the punishment at life imprisonment in the penitcntiary.
 According to the testimony of wit. nesses, Escheviera and his victim had been drinking together in Jerome on tho day of the murder. Just before parting in the enriy afternoon, the murdered man asked Escheviera what time it was. The latter replied by handing his watch to Cendiges, both parting shortly after, Ccndigcs taking along the watch.
 Later in the afternoon they met again, and Eschevierx asked Cendiges what had become of his watch. The latter replied that it was in his pocket. This seemed to anger Escheviera, who drew knife, keen ss razor, and slashed his victim in the left side of the throat, inflicting a wound from the effects of which Cendigcs died sev. eral hours later.
 Immediately after the murderous as.  sault Eseheviers fled the town, closely pursued by Marshal Hawkins, Deputy Sheriff Owens and William Dickison. who found him some thirty minutes later in the brush bosslaring on Bitter Creek, near Jerome, feigning sleep.

SUPERVISORS WILL REDEEM OLD
 BONDS.
From Thussday's Daily.

At an adjourned session of the Board of Supervisors, held on Tuesday evening, the Board ordered the TO. demption of the outstanding court house bonds in the amount of t32, ,OOO, bearing per cent interest. These bonds were issued in 1888, in lieu of the old court house bonds then out. standing, which were taken up at that time.
 This action on the part of the Board saves the county interest to the amount of s6 a day, besides reducing tho bonded indebtedness to $33s, 900, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent, all of which, with the exception of $52,000, is covered by the P. and A. c. bonds, which were issued in 1896, and subsequent years, rcdeemable in 20 years and due iR 30 years from the date of issue. Tho $52,000 part of the bonded indebtedness includes a mum. Der of miscellaneous bonds outstanding in 1899, which were refunded at that time.
 Ten years ago, when J. II. Robinson was first appointed Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, the indebtedness of the county amounted to n sum between $6OO,0OO and *700,0OO, with not enough of cash available in the treas ury to pay the quarterly salaries of been reduced from year to year until today tho county is on sound finan. cinl basis, with all of it's outstanding indebtedness funded by the Territory.
