ELKS ADOPT NOVEL
 BADGES FOR ARIZONA
From Wednesdays Daily)


 Arizona Elks should feel proud to wear the badges of their order at the coming session of the grand lodge in Los Angeles. One has been received by J. A. Jaeger, a past exalted ruler of the order in this city. For ap- propriateness, artistic effect and of patriotic design, they are unexcelled. The one on display. it is claimed, should be worn by every Arizonan, whether an Elk or not, as it is a plea for statehood, and it is suggest ed that one should be sent to every senator and congressman in Wash ington.
 The emblem is of metal and is about four inches long and one and and one-fourth inches wide. The base is of gold bronze, and suspended from the top piece is an enameled flag in blue and white. An Apache Indian of copper bronze stands in front of the flag. with a star in his right hand, in the act of placing it in the forty seventh space of the flag, that is vacant. thus strikingly appealing to the sentiment so universally prevail ing in Arizona for statehood.
 On the top section of the badge is appropriate language, and on the bottom Elk lore is seen. There is a miners shovel, agricultural re- sources. and. in fact. every other in- dustry known to our resources, repre- seuted. all congested into a space that shows the skill of the artist. No emblem ever to leave the terri tory. it is claimed. is suggestive of the true reflection of the citizenship, and none will result in so handsome lv showing the patriotism of its peo- pie. as this maguilrat little piece of metal. which this i crnal order in so timely a manner ui0rs to the att tention of the thousands of eastern people who will see it. The person who designed his work has the grat- itude of every one in the territory who has seen it.

COMPLETES WATER SYS-
 ITEM TO THE MINES
From Wednesdays DaiIy)

Q'rom Wednesdays Daily)
 An important adjunct to the Union
 and Independence mines of Hon. John Is. Jones was announced by him yes
 terday during his visit to the city,
 in the completion of splendid water service. Through this channel his
 milling facilities in the future will
 be a permanent proposition, and in
 addition to that the town of Me Cabe and other mines on the route
 of the flow will be afforded like
 facilities. Incidental to the solution
 of this problem it is the purpose of
 AIr. Jones to start up the Jessie mill
 and the cyanide works on ores from the Union and Independence veins and to treat the tailings below the
 mill. This project will start inside of few weeks. In former wears of mill work from the Jessie thousands
 of tons of tailings accumulated in
 the creek below the mill and their reduction by the cyanide method will add thousands of dollars to the yield
 that heretofore has never been con
 sidered In mine operations to be undertaken ly Nr. Jones. that on the
 Union claim is of the most paramount importance. and the development of it ti.ctlcr with that on the Indepeud- eucc is now on. The latter runs parallel to the Union, and its geo logical make up is identical to that of the Lclau. forming with others in that immediate zone and within a stone, throw of each other an at tractiye bed of mineral that is gen craIiv recognized as of the highest rating. Considerable work has been l done ou the Union and in mill runs ! the free ores were a prominent con side ton of the healthy output. and with hat the concentrates were also valual r Mir. Jones feels elated over ] the furge of that section. being broad minded enough to include other 1 interests with that of his own. specif- ically saying that the Ohio Mines
 company. which is to open up the Little Jessie. is to be commended in the work. and that the Lelan of
 Judge Wells. just above on the hill,
 with others adjoining, make up a mineral maelstrom that will in the
 very near future terminate in a
 steady stream of bullion flowing from
 that eongested sphere of mineral at
 any place dug into.

PLANET MINE SOLD TO
 LOS ANGELES CAPITALISTS
(From Thursdays Daily)

While passing through Prescott yes terday afternoon, Walter Harvey Weed, the well known geologist and mining engineer, stated that the sale of the famous Planet mine near Bouse had been effected. and in few days the formal transfer of the property would take place. In this connection Mir. Weed said that he had spent several days in making an examination of the ground, and it being favorable. the sale was closed on Tuesday by telegrams, and he was en route to make his report in full. Thirty-one claims are covered in the sale, and the price paid will run close to half million dollars.
 There is no mine in northern Ari- zona as well and as favorably known as the old Planet. It has been work ed steadily for a great many years, and several thousand feet of devel Opment is shown at various points, giving it a rating of the highest. It is situated in Yuma county, twenty five miles north of Bouse, two and half miles east of the well known Mineral Hill. and about seven miles west of the Clara Consolidated. It is about one-half mile from the Bill Williams river.
 Several thousand tons of ore are on the dump. and its product is a cop per and iron one, being self-fluxing. This character of ore is said to be desirable among investors in copper mines. and it is probably due to this mineralogicaI feature that favorable consideration was given the group.
 The heaviest interest in the prop erty is carried by Mr. Jones. who has been working the property for many years. succeeding his brother, who died some years ago. The es- tate of the deceased is also interest ed. With Los Angeles capitalists New York syndicate is identified with the purchose.
 Nr. Weed states that the property will be taken over at once and a gen eral development will follow. it being the intention of the new owners to start the work at all points and to maintain permanent camp. and that reduction machinery will be eonsid- cred at the earliest opportunity.

 THE ROBERTS GROUP
From Wednesdays DailyI

Following the purchase of the Rob erts group of mines in the Skull val
 ley region a few days ago, the in
 tention of the new owners is to he
 gin the working of their ground at
 once. This was the statement made
 yesterday by L. A. Flint. who nego-
 tiated the sale, and in which several
 Colorado people are identified with the
 new enterprise Mir Flint arrived in
 the city yesterday from the south,
 and joining him here were Mrs. Car
 rie Warren and Edgar Williams of
 Colorado, who are also interested, and
 who arrived Monday evening. They
 left last night for the camp at the
 mines, to spend several days. In speaking of the future plan of de
 velopment to be given, Mr. Flint says that the initial work will be di- rceted on the Bryan group of claims. A tunnel 250 feet long will be driven, and adjacent claims thorough- ly prOspected as well. This claim is a copper one, and is considered the most attractive in that mineral, and on which considerable work was done by Mir. Roberts. A permanent camp will be established at some site vet to be selected, and the purpose of the new company is to extend some con- sideration to general details before developing the ground, other than what is given out The is a close one and ia which a few are associated to handle

The field is a new one they nave selected, but in this they have very favorable indication to develop ,ood properties by what is shown at lear by points, and by what is in .vidence on the deeper workings of he ground they have recently ae- uired

KIDNAPER TAKEN
 BACK TO CALIFORNIA
From Wednesdays Daily

Following his incarceration of over
 week in the county jail, charged
 with Kidnapping, Rafael Munero was
 taken to San Bernardino yesterday
 morning by Deputy Sheriff George
 Aeuna. The officer arrived from Phoe-
 nix on the early train, after having
 secured acquisition papers, and re
 turned with his prisoner and the lit tie Mexican girl.
 Interest centers in this case from
 the fact that a girl of but fourteen
 years figures as the cause of the
 trouble, and for a time it was the
 general belief that the Willie Whitla
 incident in the east would be re- peated, but public opinion seems to have changed
 It. is now believed that, after all, it is but a trivial incident that takes in a few families near the famous bee town of California, and will prob ably terminate in the man retaining possession 'of the girl he is alleged to have Kidnapped.
 A peculiar feature of the ease is that the girl the man who is ac- cused of stealing and bringing her to the territory, is said to have committed the wrong as long ago as last December, and for four months of that time was resident of San Bernardino county, and for about two i months has been a resident of this | county. He maintains that he is the | father of the girl, and the girl also ! says he is her father. In addition to that the girl says he is being per secuted by a godmother of hers. The | latter, according to the story of the girl, has been keeping her under her own roof ever since the death of her mother, Lut in return for that moth srly care and the wholesome advice incidental to it, the girl. according O her own statement, has more than net the two propositions by work ng as a domestic for years, making IS high as So per week, and paying every cent to the woman for the care yiven her in having a room to sleep n. She is very indignant, and be ieves she has been nothing more han a soft snap for the entire bunch. Her father thinks likewise While he admits that she does not really ,now who her father is, she says he man does, and his statement is ,elieved because others have traced he affair. The man accused of this rime maintains an indifference. and avs that he will be discharged It is lis desire to bring his daughter up IS best his means will permit. and with this in view he has worked very day when permitted to do so. Tor several weeks he was at Nelson, m the Santa Fe, employed as lab rere in the wood camp near there.

TO BEGIN WORK
 ON LITTLE JESSIE
From Wednesdav.s Danvl

| (FrOm Wednesdays Daily)
 By the completion of certain tran
 sections in this city yesterday the
 Ohio Mines company will begin the general operating of its claims in
 the Chaparral country, commonly
 known as the Little Jessie group.
 This corporation some months ago
 took this property over, and imme-
 diately merged its interests into the
 above title, and since that time has
 been engaged in the work of out
 lining and perfecting a future plan
 of development. This has termin-
 ated, and it is said to be the inten-
 tiOn of the new management to be-
 gin at once a practical and extensive
 system of development. To this end
 the main working shaft will be sunk
 to a depth. of 1000 feet, of a double compartment, when the work of drift ing will follow as depth is reached. This shaft had reached 33j feet in depth under former management, and from that point it will be continued by the Ohio company.
 The purpose of the new company, it is said, is to drift to the west. where the rich ore shoots are and which were uncovered by John s. Jones at the time he resigned from the management of the old Jessie com pany. This discovery was due not | only tO the persistency of MT. Jones. | but in it he was backed by a prac- i tieal knowledge of the underground | prevailing there as well as elsewhere. This plan of the new company is well supported by com potent miners, and the belief gener- ally prevails that success will fol low the future working of the prop 'rty at this particular point, and at others when the ground is opened md de&eloped.
 Interest is keenly felt in any fu- ure work that is to be extended this property, and the general supposition $ that with its past splendid record IS a gold producer there is no ten lble ground to stand on but what Inder the new management, with practical work, it will exceed its for ner heavy yield in gold.
 Generally weighed there is no nore inviting zone in this county I han is linked to that particular site n the ChaParral Basin. On each end Ire established mines, and running 1 ,arallel to the Ohio company's mines s a system of Assures cutting through he entire country, making a perfect md complete net work of veins, all if which whenever opened, show the ! geological make up of the country to , 'e one of permaneney and richness. , The Jessie ground will again give 1 nA excellent account of itself, and he beginning of work is to be watch d by decidedly lively interest, in he belief that it will in the near z uture take its place at the top as .
 gold producer, and as prevailed in ( he nineties, when its output went 8 ID into the hundreds of thousands in ( he yellow metal.
 Representing the Ohio company on i he ground at the present time is 1 'rof. Lloyd Rieenour of Kingston, ( )hio. who is filling the position of . as well as experimenting , he affairs of the company in its con i emplated mine work. He bears an ' xcellent name as to his competency nd as a trustworthy young man. t

HUMBOLDT SHELTER
 ID RESUME SOON
Authoritative Sources Say it Will Blow In as Soon as Machinery
 Is Installed.
From Thursdays Daily)


 From authoritative sources Tn this city the Journal-Miner IS permitted to give publicity to letter which reached Prescott yesterday morning, conveying the welcome news that the Humboldt shelter IS to blow in as soon as the present plans of arranging and remod- cling the machinery are carried out, and that 1t IS the purpose of the men behind the enterprise to operate It per manently. This information comes from a source in close relation with the smelter people in New York, and that there IS now no endeavor to conceal the motive attending the work going on at Humboldt in every department at the present time.
 This practically settles the question of the resumption of the big plant Current interest IS Centered m the statement made sometime ago that the Blue Belle mine IS to be unwatered and when this IS finished the plant will again go back to its former con- dition and that 1t IS desired to repair certain machinery for a specific pur- pose only. The general work going on and the present force employed dis pelS this erroneous report. Every me chanical utility IS being either repaired or remodeled, and plans are being made that are indicative of resumption in the near future.
 The letter received here also con- veys the hope that the local field in mining will be able to supply the plant with larger tonnage than before was available, the capacity of the plant being remodeled with a view to handle any output from this field.
 Following the resumption of the Smelter there IS associated an evident interest in mineral possibilities, which will bring into this county and the fields djacent many heavy investments in new as we'll as old mines.
