 PHOENIX BY WATER
Verde Queen, Fifty Miles North Will Use the Salt and
 Verde Rivers.
Special to Review

PHOENIX, May 21.-Dr. H. A. Hughes consnmmated deal this morning that makes him the sole owner of the Verde Queen mine, which is located on the Verde river, fifty miles north of Phoenix.
 The ore at the Verde Queen Is a high-grade copper, with some gold. and it is said to be a valuable mine
 Dr. Hughes owned two-thirds of the stock before making this last deal He will start large force Of men at work immediately.
 Hughes contemplates utilizing tue Verde and Salt rivers for transport ing the ore to Phoenix. His idea is to construct barges, load them up with ore and wait until rise in the river brings sufficient flood of wa ter to float the barges. By this means he feels sur of making a fortune out of the mine. It is known as the old Tom sherman. or RasIered mine, and Dr. Hughes attention was attracted to it by old Joe Cox, who discovered the Red Rover gold mine.
 Cox sold the Red Rover mine. He got si0.000 cash and proceeded to blow it in like gentleman. He drank fine whisky. rode fine horses and rolled 'em high for about a year and was then forced to go to the county poor farm, where he remained until he died.
 Dr. Hughes met him at the poor farm and every time he saw the doctor who was at the time in charge of the poor farm. he talked about the marvellous wealth of his Verde mine Owing to the fact that it was a cop per claim, Hughes paid little atten- tion to the talk
 Abont three years after Cox died the copper excitement began and Hughes began to think of Joe Cox's copper mine. He made an investi- gation and found that the claim had been jumped by other parties. but his faith in Cox's mining wisdom caused him to buy an interest in the prop erty- Now he is the sole owner.
