EMPIRE GROUP IS
 SOON TO BE SOLD
AlberS Goes To Boston To Close
 the Deal.

PRESCOTT, Jan. 25.-W. c. Albers, representing the owners of the Elm piTe group of mines on Groom creek, left yesterday for Boston, where the title of the property will be passed to the Alma Empire Gold Mining com pany after his arrival. He will also assist in financing the company. He expects to return here Feb. IS to re- sume work on the mines.
 Speaking to a Journal-Minef repre- sentative before his departure MT. Albers said. The mine is certainly destined to become one of the great gold producers of the Territory. The ledge shows a thickness of five feet inthe lower workings, twenty-three inches of which carries high values in gold. It is a property that will take considerable capital to get in shape for extensive development. It cannot he operated on wind. When I get back I expect to have all arrange ments made to resume and continue it's development in a large way. Every thing is in shape at this end to turn it over to the company on my arrival , in Boston. The title is pronounced perfect by the company's attorneys and subscribers to the capital stock 
 have been assured of a large enough tonnage of ore in sight to justify their Investments
 The Empire group of mines is To- cated on one of the south prongs of Groom creek, seven miles south of Prescott. The Empire claim is de- veloped to depth of over 400 feet. It is equipped with a modern hoistfng plant and all other necessary appli- ances for operation on a pretentious scale.
 There is ten-stamp mill within a short distance of the main working shaft in which the product of the mine can be delivered by the gravity sys- tenn. The mill is modern, being equipped with concentrators and oth- CT machinery as well as a cyanide plant.

The top market price is being obtained, and and it is being cut under rigid con tract according to forestry principles. Under this contract, no tree under Is inches in diameter can be cut, except those which are dead or defective, and those whose removal will benefit the rest, and no tree can be cut un- less marked by a forest officer. Two trees 16 inches or over in diameter are left per acre where needed for seed; stumps must not exceed IS inches in height; and all merchant able timber. both standing and down, as indicated by the forest officer, must be removed. Failure to remove any timber so indicated, and the intention al cutting of unmarked trees are pen alized by stumpage charge of dou- bic the contract price.
 All brush is being piled and burned, and thus the danger from fire is con siderably lessened. The sale was started during the past summer and it is expected to continue through a period of five years with a cut of z million feet year. Already about seven million feet has been marked for cutting by forest officer. The sale is progressing without friction between buyer and seller and from the start forest officer has been continually on hand to look out for Uncle Sam.

ClEGG WAS MESSENGER
 FOR JEFF DAVIS
Dies At Maricopa County Hos ' pitaI After Seventy Years Of
 Life-Had Very interesting
 Career and Well Known.

After seventy years of life filled with adventure and danger. lie spent in doing things which called for talk ing that life constantly in his hands, Thomas Clegg passed away at the Maricopa county hospital, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 An Englishman by birth, Clegg came to this country with his parents whe n but five years old. Just what he did up to the time the Civil wardrobe oal no one knows, but early in the great conflict he was employed by Jeff Davis, president of the southern confederacy, as a special messenger. Many an or der to Lee and the other Confederate generals was delivered by Clegg. Nee essarily he was constantly in danger while engaged in this occupation. Though he never talked a great deal friends have often seen his eyes glis- ten as he recalled the time when he carried messages for the famous Jeff Davis.
 How long he remoined in the employ of Davis is not known. He evidently gained quite a reputation as a neryy and trustworthy messenger. Some time, presumably about the end ot Civil war, he went to Mexico, and there became a messenger for the Archduke Maximilian. He remained with Maximilian until the Duke fell into the hands of his enemies and was shot. Clegg, however. escaped with his life and came back to the United States.
 His career from that time up to a few years ago, is known to great many westerners. He was once a scout under Buffalo Bill and distin- guished himself as an Indian fighter. The redskins wounded him on many occasion, he often narrowly saw ing his life. His body showed the scars of many bullets in tha ending of his life. It is not known whether he was ever wounded while carrying mes sages for Jeff Davis and Maximilian, but if he was he never spoke of it.
 For several years past he has been living with the family o5 q. w. Brown, seven miles from Phoenix. He was very reticent and the few facts related above, are all that he ever told, about himself. He once remarked that he had brother in New York. whom he had not seen for twenty years. How ever, he was not sure that his brother might not be dead by this time.
 A short time ago he became i'll from a complication of diseases usually at tending old age and was removed to the county hospital, where he passed away.
 Mir. Brown seems to hae been Clegg's closest friend here and it falls upon him to endeayor to locate the brother of the dead man if he is still in the land of the living

FAKE "DEAE MUTES"
 SWiNDLE pouGLASiTES

Three forlorn, pitifui looking deaf mutes, between the ages of twelve and sixteen years, have been canvassing the residence section of Douglas hand. ing out packages of lavender with a lemon. You don't know that you get the lemon, but you do if you purchase the lavender.
 There are three of them all together. They are as i'll clad as the studied cos tune of the street urchin of the stage. They are unable to hear what you say and unable to tell you so because, as is printed op the little envelope con ;aining the lavender which they hand you when you come to the door, they are deaf and dumb and are selling these packages to earn their living. The price, it says, is what ever you wish to give. Nothing is said on the package about the lemon.
 The exposure of the youngsters fake came about yesterday in pecul far manner. One of the number, the oldest one, had worked his game on a smeletrman, Frank Speies, up town while he was of shift, and later in the day took it into his head to visit the smelter. Here ne got interested and began asking question for ais own information. Speis recognized him as the dummy he had met before, and soon put it up to him.

FIRST BALLOT WILL BRING
 TAFT VICTORY
That Is Political Dope Coming From White HOuSe-Fig- ures Given, including Two Votes For Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Politici- ans in all camps are considerably ex- ercised over the report that President Roosevelt has stated to all callers during the last few days that in his opinion Secretary Taft will be nomin- ated for president by the Republican national convention next summer on the first ballot There has been no of ficiai announcement of the character noted from the White House. But slr is not denied that the President has indulged in expressions to such effect to visitors, some of whom are not pro-Taft in their sympathies, so far as the White House successorsAip is con cerned.
 The fact of the matter Is that tbo President, and likewise certain ar dent friends of the Secretary of War outside the White House circle, be- lieve that as affairs now stand Taft's chances of entering the national con venton with full majority Of the del egates in his favor are of the best. This confidence. however, has aroused the managers of the other candidates, and vigorous efforts will be made in the immediate future to influence the country to believe that the Taft clans are greatly exaggerated. There is a fear that Taft may run away from the rest Of the procession, that his vehicle is the real band wagon. The field that is opposong Taft will do it's best to suppress the spread of this impress sion.
 Some tables were printed in the East today purporting to show the figures of the Taft managers on a con servative besis with respect to the first ballot of the convention. There will be 9S0 delegates in the republican convention, so that 491 votes will be required to nominate. The printed ta- bles give Taft 517 An authority very close to President Roosevelt went over this table today and scratched it to some extent. When the scratching was completed the sure Taft strength, according to the authority in question, was placed at 4S9, as follows:

Forest Service Is Co., Operating With War Department In Disposal of Forest Product On Military Reservations.

WASHINGTON, 25.-That Uncle Sam believes thoroug gbly in the con servatiye management cf timberlands is shown by the fact that ha is prac- ticing forestry on lands other tGan those contained in the National For ests in the West
 Besides cooperating with private owners of woodland in assisting them to apply conservative management, and with various state in a study of their forest conditions, the United States Forest Service co-operates also with the other branches of the Fed eral Government. Chief among these branches is the War Department. The Military Reservations which so far have been examined and reported upon are those at West Point, N. r.; Fort Wingate. N. NJ; the Rock Island Arsenal, H., and the Picatinny Arse nal in New Jersey. At West Point the forest consists of second growth hardwoods, and for sme time has. in part, supplied the post with cord wood, lumber, hurdle poles. tan bark and other forest products. The Forest Service made working plan for this forest in 1903 and since then cutting has been along conservative lines with view ot perpetuating the for est, and at the same time supplying the post with definite amount of wood each year. Similar plans are in preparation for the forests at the Rock Island and Picatinny Arsenals.
 By far the largest piece of cooper ative work in which the Service is now engaged is that at Fort Wingats, New Mexico. where. under the super vision of forest officers the War De pertinent is selling million feet Of
