the news that two English ducheSses

These duch sses have plenty OF money
and fluent tongues, and will appeal es'
pecially to the negro voters Ihsi'
advent bodies no good for the republican

most susceptible people in the worlo

SANTA ROSA.

Development work at the Santa
Rosa mine, eighteen miles south OF
Douglas, is being pushed with force
of more than fifty men. There is moth,
ing of special importance to report
concerning the work, according To
Thomas Collins who is directing it.
The old shaft is now down to q
depth Of $40 feet and the drift at the
215.foot level has been run a distance
of 300 feet No substantial ore body
has yet been encountered in this drift
though IN places some ore has been
found and some of 1t gave value OF
4 per cent. At the 300foot level Of
this shaft a station Is now being cu'
which is indicative that greater depth
is to be sought. In the first dfffi
which was run from the 115-foot level
a good body of ore was cut
The new shaft, started two weeks
ago. has already reached z depth Of
more than forty feet This shaft Il
500 feet distant from the old one anc
is only III compartment.

WICKENBURG, Jan. 20-It has
been learned that a party of Wicken-

have taken up and surveyed 1000
acres of placer ground near Wicken-
burg that it TO be worked as soon as
machinery arrives. 1t is thought that
work will be started by the end Of
this month. The ground has been
carefully examined and prospected by
Messrs Barth and Holden and has
been found 20 average about one dol
lar per ton, and there are not less
than 100000 tons of ground that can
be easily worked without even the diff
ficulty of removing builders.
The machines are now on the way
from Denver. These machines weigh
about 5000 pounds and have a capac-
ity of eighty tons each per day, and
if they are successful as said to be
at least ten different machines will be
at work inside Of another month or

Some of the directors of the Interior

Gently visited the prperty, expressed
themselves as being more than pleased
with the property and have great faith
in its future. The report of a mining
man from the east who visited the
mine some time ag had such a damp
ening effect as to cause the stock of
the company to drop from 80 cents to
abut Is cents per share. Since that
time there has been a very good strike
reported below the 300 foot level that
has done much to restore confidence
and things are running along now

the lower workings are as good, if not
better, than was anticipated. They
have cut through forty feet of ore that
average SIS per ton and the mill lately

Emil Holden of this place and T. j.
Carrigan of Los Angeles have started
a new camp on the Bill williams Fork
and force of men Will re put to work

is said that this property has an ex-
ceptionaIiy bright future, as the as
says are good, the property in a good
district. the surface indications very

indicates that the ore body is I'M

ed In the property. The Northern
Light will some time be one of the
busiest camps in northern Yuma
county.
The Arizona Copper Belt company
has been doing consif erable work on
the Texas group lately, and it is their
intention to keep right on. The com
pany is composed of wealthy men who
intend to open up a mine IL possible,
and the present indications are very
favorable. The bottom of the share
shows vein four feet wide and run
ming $40 in gold. A Hoist will be in
stalled as soon as possible so as to

It is reported that a new mining
company by the name of Great West

BENSON, Ariz.. Jan 20.-The EN-

Sinking was resumed on the two

shaft is now down about 275 feet, and
IT is the intention of the company to
continue the sinking for several hun

The rock in the shaft gets better

rock is heavily copper stained and
mixed with carbonate ore, and sui

before the shaft is continued much
deeper.
The company has some water to
contend with, but 1t is only surface
water as the water level has not been
reached yet, The company expects
to strike the main ore body at the

TO TROLLEY ORE
ACROSS GILA RIVER
Phoenix & Eastern Will Pro-
vide Against Floods at
Winkelman.

Phoenix.-To provide against floods
in the ella river at Winkelman, which
at some periods OF the year cut that
place off from ths mining camps on
the other side of the river, the Phoe-
nix & Eeastern will build trolley
across the river at that point. Gen
eral Agent Lands stated this morn
ing that the purpose of the trolley is
to provide means of bring ing ore to
Wilkelman from the other side of the
river during the flood seasons, and to
get supplies from Winkelman to the
mines. For part of the year commu.
nication between Winkelman and sew
eral prosperous mining camps on the
other side is carried on in small
boats and often at the risk of human
life. With this trolley a much easier
means of transportation across the
river will be established. and without
the risk of losing either life or prop
erty.

tain Burgess denies the truth of the
charges against him and claims he
viii be able to- disproye them without
/ any great difficulty when the matter
comes up for a hearing. Friends of
Captain Burgess claim that the
oharges made against him are only
the climax of numerous efforts tat
have been made recently to o1st him
from his position as general manager
OF the workings of the Pontotoc com
pany. On the other hand the officers
OF the company who were responsible
for his arrest claim that the charge
against him. that of having taken
StVp hOEtH q BOe0S WHICH Bau Deeu
purchased by the company, is only
one OF many which could be brought
to light. Further it is stated that if
Burgess is successful in clearing him
self Of the present charge when tae
affair is aired in court. he will be re
arrested and tried upon one of the
other charges which it is claimed
could be brought against him.
Owing to the prominence of Cap
tain Burgess and the other parties in
terested in the affair, the case has
attracted a great deal of attention
locally and undoubtedly Judge
Richey's court will be greatly over
crowded When Captain Burgess is
brought in to answer to the affair,
which will probably bessome time the
