SYSTEM SOON
 TO BE A REALITY

Arizona s famous north and south
 proposed highway machine is oiled,
 and the first turn to it was given a
 few days ago by the board of con
 trol at Phoenix, when the matter
 was officially considered.
 It was agreed at that time to levy
 a general tax. Following official ac
 tion the laying out of territorial system of highways, running north and south, and east and west, through Arizona, will be inaugurated at once.
 After the route it is desired to utilize for this purpose is decided up on, the territorial engineer will then take the field. He will cOnfine his work to the route selected by the board of control and will survey and locate the domain accordingly. From this field work an estimate of the cost of construction will he made, which will of necessity be dili- gently and carefully considered be- fore the practical work on the high ways is started.
 Nothing can be learned as to the route the board of control has se lected on the north and south line. It is but reasonable to state. how ever, that Prescott will be on the main line, as this road will traverse the country from north to south, but what sections it will pass through before it enters this city is problem atieal.
 On leaving Prescott for the north, the same conditions prevail as to the specific points it will tap, as it is laid out to the Grand Canyon via Flagstaff. The latter city is said to be sure of a place on the high way. At what point on the Verde river the road will cross is like wise unknown at this time, this de- pending upon the location of the bridge which is to be built across that stream. A site for this struc- ture is yet to be selected.
 Whether Mayer is to be on the main line is likewise speculation, as indeed is any settlement lying to the north or south of Prescott.
 Profting by the heavy expense an nually borne by the supervisors of this county, in repairing roads that traverse gulches and low places reached by each rain, the board of control will have the new highway skirt the more elevated points. where flood waters and cloudbursts can do but little damage. Conner ,ial advantages of the sections tp be reached on this highway will, of course. be diligently considered, but he main object of the project is to ittract travel to the country at all points, and to accomplish this the route must be scenic one to please he thousands that annually will pass 'ver it.

the sheriff s officers there. To tighten the clutch of the law on him, he confessed to Sheriff Livingston that he knew where Kid Wilson was, and told where he could be found in Los Angeles.
 "The ex-cOnvict was sent to Los Angeles from Yuma to locate Will son, and yesterday Sheriff Living ston came here to make the arrest. He and Deputy Sheriff Burdie were guided to the rooming house where Wilson was staying, and the arrest followed.
 "Sheriff Livingston and his pris- oner will leave for Yuma at 9:15 o'clock this morning, and from there the prisoner will be taken htO Colorado and turned over to the of ficials there.
 "Wilson denies his identity. but admits that he knew the Starr broth CTS, and says he has heard of Will son. He refused to say, when ques- tioned, who he is, but photographs of Wilson in possession of the Ari- zona officer seem to show him to be Wilson. the man who is wanted.'
 Starr, a member of the notorious Starr family, of Oklahoma, long as- sociated with the Dalton gang, was captured at Bouse last spring by Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis. In formation of the whereabouts of Starr was brought by an officer of Oklahoma, who came here accom- panied by the Colorado sheriff. Ac- cording to that information, Wilson was also at Bouse. but he could not be located there. It was learned. though, that he had been there with Starr in January, both of them hay ing spent couple of days in Phoe- nix before leaving for Bouse.

FINE SPECIMENS OF
 GOLD BULLION EXHIBITED
CFrom Thursdays pailxl

One of the finest looking bars of gold bullion received for some weeks by the Prescott National bank was sent in yesterday by the Poland Min ing company, which tipped the beam at just 234 ounces.
 It was viewed by many people through the courtesy of Cashier Fred erieks, and several, being practical miners, and cOnversant with mill work, pronounced it one of the best looking pieces of mineral in a crude state they had ever inspected.
 These bars are of weekly shipment to Prescott, and for several months the regularity of their arrival has been most ereditable to the Poland ground.
 In addition to the yellow output of that property, the yield of con centrates is of much importance, but of which locally nothing is learned as they pass through the city to Saseo. in the south, and to Fl Paso, where its mineral is extracted at the shelter.
 The value of these shipments from Poland could not be leaTned, but it will run well into the pure gold values.
 The same banking house yesterday had consigned to it ear load of concentrates from the old reliable Congress mine. No definite value Of this could be learned, but an ap- proximate value is over S7,0O0, based on former shipments. The cOneeR- trates from this mine are generally known as the heaviest in value of any mining enterprise in this see ton.
 Yesterday afternoon another ship ment of over 1000 pounds of con centrates passed through the city to the sampling mill of R. II. Hether- ington, from the Cash mine Ship ments of this character are now Of daily arrival, and fine yield is at tending the resumption of work or these well known claims.

c. E. FINNEY BACK
 FROM THE EAST
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

Returning to Prescott yesterday
 from New York, c. E. Kinney, form.
 erly vice president and general man.
 ager of the Arizona Smelling com
 pany of Humboldt, and prominently
 identified at the present time with many heavy mining projects in the territory, brings word that the chaotic financial conditions prevail ing for the past few years are rap idly passing away, and that better feeling is evident in all financial centers of the east.
 Mir. Kinney says that the return of better times IS due to a more settled industrial condition and that there is keen appreciation of the possibilities of wise mining and com mercial investments. Permanency and stability, he believes, are about to supercede the recent apathetic and uncertain conditions. The pulse of capital is close to the western fields. and there is a strong desire to be- come identified with good mining and particularly copper propositions.
 Notwithstanding the present price of this metal, he predicts that it will soon go to where it belongs and stay there.
 MT. Finney talked at some length on local matters, singling out the of this field, and the ben efits to be derived by the resumpt- ion of the smelter at Humboldt He says that it has been definitely set tied that the big smelter is to be operated in the very near future. It is in splendid hands b. and is well backed financially. As to the exact late at which it is to resume or to 20 on the market to purchase ores, he was not able to say, but believes, however, that it will be operated steadily, when once started.
 Speaking of the methods prevailing today at the works at Humboldt. in the general remodeling process, he says the plans as substantially out ined by him while the general man ,ger of the company, are being car lied out. When finished, the cost of abor will be brought down to the minimum and the operation of the plant maintained at a corresponding These changes over the ,ld method will give the mining fra -ernity relief, and the industry will De materially strengthened.
 MT. Kinney was cordially greeted Dy many aequaintances in Prescott, md he will remain for several days ooking after interests with which he S identified.

RAY CONSOLIDATED HAS
 MILLIONS OF ORE

The following extracts are taken
 from a report made recently on the
 property of the Ray Consolidated by
 experts representing Trippe. Thomp-
 son & Co. of New York, and serve to
 show, in meagre way, the immensity
 of probably the most enormous low
 grade copper property in the world:
 The Ray Consolidated Copper com pany may be elassed as one of the
 largest of the low grade sO-ealled DOT Phyry copper mines in the United
 States Although the property is not producing, it has long since passed out of the prospective stage and has at the present time approximately 4O,- OOO,0O0 tons of ore in the developed and probable reserves.
 The property, which comprises about
 1000 acres of mining ground, is sit uated at Ray, Arizona. The mine is connected with the town of Kelvin. where the mill is located. by the eompany's narrow guage railway, sit miles in length. The transportation problem is not a bad one when com pared with most of the large eoneen- trating properties, in that the haul is- short and the slight gradient is in the direction of the road. Surveyora at the present time are at work on a broad guage location which is praeti eally identical with the old route.
 The ground of the Ray Consolidat- ed is so located as to cover practical ly the entire width of a belt of al tered schist and granite prpohyry. The total length of the mineralized area along its strike is approximately two and one-half miles and at its western boundary, which adjoins the Gila Copper company, it is over a mile in width. The ore occurs as ehaleoeite finally disseminated or in seams ipterlaeing through the sehist. The leaehed zone varies from 70 to 40 feet deep and the average is PIT feet. This grades suddenly into the secondary ores, which average slightly over 100 feet in thickness.
 The present company began active development about two years ago and since that time the workings have been greatly extended, shafts sunk and a vigorous drilling. campaign in- augurated. which has resulted in de- veloping large ore reserves. In ad- ditiOn to the drill holes the property has been opened by seven tunnels and eight shafts. Of the latter the Ray and Sharkey are the most i'm portant
 The blocked out ore, which amounts to approximately 21,OOO,OOO tons aver aging 2.3 per cent copper, has been divided into six groups, and the aver ige thickness is 100 feet.
 The limits of the ore have not yet been determined in any of the groups md the total area of commercial ore $ being continually increased. In ad- lition to the 2l,OOO,OOO tons of de- -elOped ore, Mir. Henry Krumb es- imates that there are 1S,OOO,00O Ohs of partially developed ore, mak- ng a total of 4O,OOO,OOO tons.

A PICTURE SWINDLER
 PINCHED AT JEROME
From Thursdays Daily)

CFrOm Thursdays Dailyl
 Another film Hammer named
 Adams has been working this see
 ton of Arizona, but he has been run down at his own game and is now in the county jail
 He was caught at Jerome yester- day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Hawkins on telephone adviees from Sheriff Smith, and reached Prescott last night in the custody of Deputy Sheriff Joe Cook.
 A few days ago his namesake SC leeted the bogus cheek method of swindle, affixing the initials ''S. B.'' to his name, while the man arrested at Jerome goes under the name of F. L. Adams.
 The latter's method of securing easy money was via the picture route, and in touching up the phiz of many easy victims in the liberal Copper City he also touched their lpocketboOks to the extent of over $50. He was doing a very thrifty line of business when arrested. In fact he was filling out a neatly printed and embellished receipt when he was pulled in. He entered a lively protest, and endeavOred to impress upon the officer that he was employed by a well known and long established portrait house in Chi .cagO.
 Before the arrest was made. how ever, telegrams from that city were received saying that he was an i'm poster and that such firm as he claimed to represent was not in ex- istenee
 Following his arrest and trial, an investigation of his methods of fleecing the unsophistieated. shows that he has been at this game from Parker on the Colorado to the Verde river, with Phoenix thrown in for good measure.
 Every little station and mining camp to the county seat of Yavapai was sluiced to a fneness that not even a color of the yellow stuff es- capped his tentacles. He would take as low as 95 cents, and run up to a high dive of $1O as the custom ary first payment. In fact, if he had been pinched down to a beer check it is very probable he would have raked that in, too.
 Prescott was on his itinerary for a short stop, but this city was to be more fully worked later.
 From Wickenburg Adams took over fifty orders. with Wenden. Bouse, Sa- lOme also heavy contributors. Jer- Dme Junction also had to get in line, and some at Iron Springs were re- corded. In Prescott he secured about 1 l dozen picture orders, and the sum -otdA bA HIS OptAdblOuS VIII run piOb- | ably to three or four hundred dollars | He had no money on his person, how ever. when arrested
 The suppOsition of the officers is hat an organized bunch of film fam ners, each skilled in their respective l ines, and travelling under the as 'umed name of Adams, are securing he country. This impression comes from the fact that in less than one week a cheek artist of this name worked the city out of ,ver $lOO. and got away with it through his claim of being an Elk. The Adams in jail is not, however, | member of any fraternal order, or It least has not publicly announced hat fact. He goes to the county ail for ninety days.
