M|N|NGNEWSFROM W|CKENBURG
 COUNTY
Much Work IS Being Done in That
 District

WICKENBURG, Nov. 1S-The Tank
 Pass Consolidated Mining company,
 that was recently organized in Phoe.
 nix, proposes to commence operations
 at once. A. T. Pryor, president of the
 company, passed through Wickenburg
 Tuesday, en route to Salome, near which point the holdings of the com
 pany are located. He was aceompa- nied by D. w. Hall, of Salome, and
 W. J. Stoneman, of the Arizona Min ing Journal of Phoenix. They will thoroughly look over the property with a view to future operations. There have been several well-known groups taken over by the Tank Pass company, among them the Alvin De- velopment, the Ultimatum group, which they have had under bond for some time; the Copper Flat group, the Carbonate Hill and, last, the Cob rilla, provided the negotiations at present under way are carried through MT. Hall, the principal owner of the Cobrilla group, has no doubt that it will pass to the Tank Pass company within a few days. In all, there are something over sixty claims belonging to this company lying nine miles northwest of Salome and north of the A. & c. track. The claims lie parallel with the mountains east and west, and cover three miles of territory, the Cobrilla being the last group on the west. All of these groups have had large amount of work done, especial ly the Ultimatum and the Alvin De- velopment, where there is a deep well and plenty of water. The Cobrilla also has considerable development work done, and some good ore to show, as the result.
 Ward B. Smith, the vice-president of the company, is associated with A. T. Pryor in the brokerage business in Houghton, Mich. William D. Calverly is secretary and treasurer. These gen tlemen represent eastern capital, and it is their present intention to begin development at once and on a large scale. They have a property, most of it developed sufficiently to be past the stage of prospects, and well known in that section as having made good as far as developed. D. W. Hall, the superintendent and general manager, will remain on the ground and attend to the details of the work. Mir. Hall has had considerable experience in mining, having been in the business for several years past. MT. Pryor, af ter visiting the property and arrang- ing with MT. Hall for present opera tions, will leave for Houghton, Mich, He expects to return about December l and remain for the balance of the winter in this section, looking after the affairs of the Tank Pass company and also other investments in which he is interested. The Tank Pass com pany is prepared to spend $20,000 in the development of the property and no time will be lost in getting the work under way.

GOOD GLOBE PROPERTY.

The development work done by the Live Oak company at Globe, to date makes it practically certain that the property will make a big mine. The face of its long tunnel is now about 400 feet below the surface, and drifts at this depth and also from the 200. foot level of its shaft, are sulphides running from 1.65 per cent to per cent copper. The latest advice from the mine says: "Drift No. 306 is now in ore clear chalcocite, averaging 2.95 per cent copper. Drift No. 30S is in ore assaying 3:s5 per eent.''- Tucson Star.

pROHIS HAVE WIDE MARGIN
Vote on Passage of Gam Bill
Was So to ~.
Another New State Capitol Bill Introduced
in the Senate, along with other I'm
portant Measures.

Little Rock, March Especial.
SO much interest was yesterday
taken in the house proceedings,
where the Gam state wide pro-
bition bill was passed late in the
afternoon by a vote of So to FL,
that mol Interest was taken in other
important business of the day, and
the senate was absolutely a for
gotten body. AS the bill Is to be
passed along to that body before
the end of the week, and ministers
of the city claim it will pass by a
majority of two if all the senators
are present when the vote is taken,
the scene of action will immediate
ly change to the higher body and
all eyes will be centered there.
After the Simpson substitute
was defeated yesterday it was
only a matter of few hours until
the house would vote in favor of
the passage of the Gam bill. Sha-
fer of Crittenden devoted an hour
or more of the afternoon session to
the Gam measure, opposing It IN
strong terms. He said the bill
was not properly drawn and should
be amended in many ways, partlc-
ularly to make the purchaser liza
Bile as we'll as the seller when the
state becomes prohibition. He
was followed by Thompson OF
Craighead, who also devoted a
brief period to opposing the bill.
Newton of Lonoke then opened the
closing for the favorable argument,
and was followed by Gam of Ben
ton, the author of the bill. The
roll cal followed and to the sur
prise of many, Simpson, who pro-
poscd the substitute to allow the
people to vote for the bill at a
special election, supported the
measure, as we'll as Dunaway OF
Pulaski and Rove of Sebastian,
all of them opposing the Gam
measure on the floor of the house.

Both stated that they did all they
could to separate the men, but
without avail. After Mr.. Kings

DURHAM EXPIRED
LATE LAST NIGHT
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Gradually sinking from the time
he was shot, w. L. Durham died
at his home at II: 20 O'Clock last
night from the wound inflicted by
City Marshal J. R. Charles yester-
day. He lived ten hours after he
was shot and was conscious most
of time.
From the beginning, the physi-
clans who were attending him
could see no hope of his recovery,
but it was decided to call DR.. J. P.
Runyan of Little Rock to perform,
if he thought best, an operation by
which the unfortunate man might
be benefited. DR.. Runyan arrived
on the 10 O'Clock train, but when
he reached the home Mr.. Durham
was dying, and the operation was
not attempted.
Mr.. Durham's S mother and broth
er, Walter, who lived near Plumer
vile, arrived on the evening train
and were with Mr.. Durham when
he died.
Mr.. Durham was born in Con
way county near Plumerville, Aug
ust I, 1871, and made his home in
that county until 1902, when he
moved to Conway. He was mar
ried Nov. 2I, 1897, to Miss Annie
Duncan, who survives him. He
is also survived by two children,
daughter, Alma, aged 9, and a
son, Duncan, aged 6; his mother,
Mrs. M. M. Durham, two brothers,
Walter and Carl Durham and one
sister, Mrs. Julia Weatherly. His
mother, brothers and sister live at
his former home near Plumerville.
He was a member of the Masonic,
Odd Fellows and Woodmen frater-
mites.
The funeral will be held from
the family residence tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, The ser
vices will be conducted by Rev. ].
B. Stevenson, pastor of the Metho-
dist church, of which Mr.. Durham
was member. The interment
will be at Oak Grove cemetery
under the auspices of the Wood
men and Odd Fellows lodges.

County Fair Launched at
Board of Trade Smoker

clean and moral exhibitions were
shown and that no betting should
be permitted on the races. If such
were allowed, he said, it would
kill the fair quicker than anything
else. A county fair association,
he stated was not a money-making
institution, but the Johnson county
association had failed to pay div
idend to the stockholders in only
one year, and had returned to
them almost as much money as
was originally invested, leaving
the plant intact and in good
shape.
1t was then decided without dis.
senting vote to organize an associa-
ton here After appointing a COM
mittee composed of H. B. Ingram,
Pres. S. Anderson, G. L. Bahner,
w. N. Owen and w. D. Cole, Jr.,
President Frauenthal suggested
that no one should be permitted to
subscribe for more than four SIS
shares of stock, in order that the
stock might be more generally dis
tributed. Secretary Bahner called
the roll of those present and prac-
tically everyone subscribed for one
or more shares. The committee
is now at work soliciting further
subscriptions, and will continue
until the amount necessary to con-
struct the buildings and equip the
fair grounds is raised. 1t is thought
that only about S 5000 will be re-
quired for this purpose.
The smoker was pronounced
success in every particular and
Secretary Banner received many
compliments on the entertainment
provided, several suggesting that
the smoker ought to be monthly
event. A luncheon consisting of
tongue and ham sandwiches, dev-
lied eggs, pickles, cheese, crackers
and coffee were served after, which
those present were presented with
good cigars.
