PREPARING ID SHIP FIRST CARLOAD
 IF 0RE Black Mountain Copper Company Plans
 Improvements
Hoisting Plant And Air Compressors To
 Be Installed
(From Tucsday's Dailv.)

Hauling of the first ear load shin. mcnt of ore by the Black Mountain Copper company is in progress from the company's mines in the Black Hills and Mineral Point districts io Jerome Junction. the nearest railroad station on the <. F., F. & F., eight miles west of the camp. The ore, which carries average values of per cent in copper, is sacked in the bottom of the shaft, before being hoistcd, no as. sorting being done.
 The entire bottom of the shaft is il ore and no cross cutting or drifting will be done until the 200 foot level is reached. SO feet below The develop. mcnt of the property has encouraged the company to such an extent that q hoisting plant and mir compressors will be purchased at once and Bunk and other camp houses erected for the ac. commodation of large force of miners as soon as the machinery is in place. Another shaft will be started when the improvements now planned 'are com pletcd, and the camp bids fair to be one of the busiest in the county before many months.
 The nine claims on the group cover q series of four parallel lodges. running in n northcasterly and southwestcrly direction, associated with schist and porphyry contact about 100 feet in width. The plan of opening the prop. crty eontemplatcs the sinking of two shafts to n depth of 900 feet and the cross cutting of the contact to locate the ore bodies.
 The ore is being shipped to the plant of the Arizona Smelling company a' Humboldt and the improvements under way and the operations on the ground are under the direct management oi F. \. Logic, one of the largest stock holders of the company, and its gen eral manager.

 ING.
(From Sundays Daily)

C. M. Willard. general manager of tho White Giant Mining company, op- crating in the Squaw Creek district, is in the city on business connected with months. In addition to his interests in the Squaw Creek section Mr. Willard has extensive holdings in the Verde mining district and is also interested in enterprises in the Verde valley. In conversation with n Journal Miner man yesterday. Mir. Willard said:
 "lt seems to mo that Yavapai conn ty has n very prosperous year ahead. In fact. inc county looks better io me now from every point of view, than ever before. l notice that the Verde district is particularly active. Three new hoisting plants have hccn insalcd on properties south of Jerome within the past month fourth has been set up on q shaft north of Jerome, and still fifth has been shipped by another company to be put in place as soon as delivered on inc ground.
 "Work has been started on the drainage tunnel of the United Verde mines. This tunnel will be over 1000 feet in length and will tap the mines between the 1000 and HOO foot levels \ number of Jerome people believe that the United Verde smcltcrs will be moved to point below the mouth of this tunnel when it taps the mines and that railroad will be built from the main line into the Verde valley"
 Referring to the Squaw Peak dis trict, Mir. Willard said; "Mining is more active there than ever before and I look for some large operations ,o be started this year. At present three large concerns are developing proper. ties in the district and syndicate of Los Anugelcs capitalists is negotiating for tho purchase of the Olden group of mines, which k among the most prom icing ones of the district. v

Founder Of Pills Tells Of Some Of His
 Troubles
Must Label All Boxes Of Patent Medi-
 CineS
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Life isn't all roses these days for we who pound pills" said the manager of n popular drug store, yesterday, as he climbed down from the topmost step of n trolley stcpladder, covered with dust, his arms full of packages of patent medicines, likewise dust coy. cred. "Thcsc are pure food days, also pure drug days, and we arc busily en- gagged in purifying ours" Then the druggist explained:
 He, ike every other druggist in Prescott, is engaged just now in past ing on each and every patent medicine package little label either carrying the inspection mark and number of the department or certifying to the per. centage of alcohol in the mixtures, and often both. Most of the stamps contain the serial number of the mix. turc, obtained from the department by the manufacturers, and the legend, "Guarantecd under the food and drug act, June 3Oth. l9OG."
 ''I used to think that had pretty fair knowledge of patent medicines, - said the druggist, wearily, "and have kept in pretty close touch with the new things that come out. I knew there were n lot, but it never dawncd on me exactly how many millions of different kinds of patent medicines there were until began this job. Every separate package of each and every patent medicine or registered formula must be taken up and stamp cd with one or the other of these stamps. Each manufacturer has a diff ferent serial number, SO that for n stock like ours the task is an enormous one. IL nccessitates the handling of our cn. tire stock of patent medicines and the work will require several days to com pletc. should say that there are sev. cral thousand druggists in the United States, just now, fcrvently conlomning Congress and everything and every body else who had anything to do witl the pure drug act. although after thi, part of the work is over it will undoubt ediy result in the suPpressing of con | sidernble number of more or less harm ful preparaiions, which sail under fals, colors.

 We have ous crosscut tunnel" he continued, "into the mountain dis iancc of jlj feet, and arc still pushing ahead to the second large ledge covered by the live locations of the group. We are running drifts on the first ledge cut and have n very promising property in it. The values in the ore, which is a sulphidc, consist of gold. silvcr. lead and copper, but it K the general opin. ion that the property will develop into n copper mine when depth is reached. '
 The group owned by the White Giant company is located about six miles southwest of Camp Verde, in well watcrcd section of the Squaw Peak dis. trict. where the mountains are very prccipitous and the veins advantage. ously located for development by tun. ueling, the most economic system of mine development where the topop raphv of inc ground permits.

RAPID PROGRESS IN SINKING or
 SHAFT.
fFrom snnday,a naily.l

Wonderful progress is being made in the sinking of the compartment shaft on the property of the Blackberry Min. ing & Development company, which is now down to depth of 9jO feet. The shaft K being sunk at the rate of 25 feet q week under the direction of NJ. l.. nuckley, superintendent of the con corn. on porphyry and schist dyke of great width, and on which number of vcinlcts of ore carrying good values have been uncovered, showing im- provcmont in size and values as depth is gained. The dyke cnn be traced through the length of four locations owned by the company, in q northeast crly and southwesterly direction, with an 0utcrop in which some ore of good grade has been found.
 The property is located about twelve miles east of Dewey, near Ash Greek the Cherry Creek wagon road passing within short distance of the camp The mediate section is well watercd and timbcrcd and the altitude of tbc place IS such that heavy snowfall' never interfere with operations in the winter months. The climate in mm mcr time Is ideal.

OBSTACLES MET IN IMPROVE
 MENT WORK.

Condemnation proceedings were in. stitutcd in the District Court ycstcr. day by the santa Fc, Prescott & Phoe. nix Railway company, looking to the acquiring of n portion of n lot on North Montczuma street owned by Mrs. Rose Mnrcou, which the railroad company is Jcsirous of securing for the purpose of cnlarging its yards, prcpar- atory to the building of the proposed new passenger depot.
 Other property necessary to the mak. ing of the changes contemplated by the railroad company has been secured by the <. r. r. A F. officials by purchase, but, according to the statement of one of the officials of the road, Mrs. Marcou refused 10 treat with the company for the purchase of the property, ignoring their offers, hence the condemnation proceedings filed yesterday.
 Plans of the new passenger depot, to be built on the Mission style, have al. ready been approved, and when erected will undoubtedly be an ornament to the | city. but the work of construction will not bc undertaken until the pending 
 litigation is disposed of. Meanwhile the railroad company will proceed with the work of installing n storm drain cmptying into Granite creek, to carry of the waste waters that now make the present depot fairly inaccessible at times.
 In conversation with representa- tive of the Journal Miner regarding the company's plans, m official of the road said:
 "Wc want to go ahead with tho building of depot such as few cite, the size of Prescott will be able tC boast. but the many obstacles we have encountered in furthcring our plans 1T that direction would seem to indicat. that there is absolute indifference or the part of the publi, as to whether this improvement is accomplished o not
 While We hope to get everything strengthened out in time. it may b' that we will be compelled to patch uI the old depot and use it, abandoning onr present plans for new structure Of course, we don't wish to be com pclled to do this, and the shit just flct is practically all that stands in the way of our commencing work, as soon a' the weather permits, but we can hardl, hope to have the ease disposed of be fore the next regular term of court which convcnos in May, unless th' owner of the property in question should see ft to let us havo the lot al figure somewhere near reasonaLe.'

Stnrkman was not locked in iail at inc time of his arrest. being allowed his liberty, under the surveillance of a deputy sheriff, in order to mcure bonds Later. however, the firm of Brow. Bel cher and smith sworc out warrants against Starkman, alleging that he had cashcd $50 worth of fraudulent checks in their place of business the night be. fore. This warrant was sworn ou, al, about o'clock last evening and stark man was immediately taken into GUS tody.
 Starkman. who is well known ,o Q number of business men of this city. had no trouble in cashing any of his numerous checks, inasmuch as it was known that he was supposedly re sponsiblc business man of the Shelter City, and it was thought that his cheeks were worth their face value.
 Shortly after his arrival in Prescott Friday Starkman began to woo Dame Fortune at the gaming tables. At the Palace club rooms he tried roulette, faro bank and other games. without success, until hc shortly found himself without funds. It was then that he rc. paired to the Frisch saloon where he obtained $50 on a personal check from Friscb, and later had that gentleman endorse other checks of his to tho amount of $2s0. All of these checks were cashcd nt the Palace.
 Later in the night Stark visited the Stu'hman place on Montczuma street. where hc succeeded in getting the bar. tender to cash an $s0 check. He also visited the Burke hotel, where he had registered, and secured sIeO on cheek from NJ. !. Hickey, one of the hotel proprietors. Eddie Dillon, in charge of the Dillon cigar store, also cashed one of Starkman's numerous checks for $2O.
 Yesterday morning when the Bank of Arizona. upon which the checks had been drawn, opened its doors for busi- ness, there was n food of Starkman checks, which in each instance were re. turned to those presenting them with the tcrsc remark, "no funds.'
 Search was at once instituted for Starkman by the bartender of the Stuthman saloon, who was the first to present cheek for payment. When found Starkman admitted to the bar. tender that hc had some money. and would make good the check. which he did, handing over ss0.
 When it was discovered by Mcssrs. Frisch and Bclchcr that Starkman E checks were worthless, n warrant was sworn out by Frisch and S,arkman was taken into custody. given n hearing. and bound over to await the action of the grand jury. after which he was al. lowed to depart, in the company of Il deputy sheriff, to secure bonds.
 
 Starkman claims that he has money in the Jerome bank, q branch of the Bank of Arizona, and that at the time of giving the checks he was under the impression that the Bank of Arizona here would honor them.
 Jacob Salzman, the Williams mcr- chant, an uncle of Starkmnn, arrived here last night at 10 o'clock on the southbound and arranged for bail for the defendant, who was allowed his lib- crty II is thought that all of the worthless checks drawn and passed by Starkman will be made good and the warrants issued against the defendant quashcd.
