SHELTER AT MAYER
 WILL BE REBUILT
From Thursdav,s DalIvl


 Following the arrival in this city of David Miller, president of the Standard Exploration >Company of New York, the important infOrma- ton is given by him that the inter- ests of the Treadwell Mining Com pany have been taken over by his syndicate, and he is here to arrange matters incidental to that enterprise and to regenerate the proposition.
 His intention is to rebuild the shelter plant at Mayer and to start the development of the mining inter ests, that cover a large domain. He has been to the field on an examina- tion of the ground and expresses him. self as decidedly well pleased over his company acquiring the ground passing this belief on the possibilities of the many mines that are developed to a limited extent.
 He also says the field is a good one for the treating of ores, there being an abundance within easy access of the smelting plant, guaran- teeing steady operation, and inde- pendent of the company's product. His purpose is to build a plant hay ing a capacity of 300 tons daily, treating ores that carry gold, silver and copper mainly, and later to add lead jacket for that character of the yield.
 He left yesterday for Cananea, Mexico, where his company is oper- ating extensively. He will return to Mayer next week to remain for some time to arrange for the beginning of work on his project.

TRAINMAN BEHEADED WHEN
 HE FALLS UNDER CARS

ASH FORK, Dec. 23.-One of the most frightful accidents that has ever taken place on the Santa Fe occurred this morning about daybreak when Conductor F. J. Thomas fell beneath the cars of his train in the yards here and was beheaded.
 He was engaged in making up his water train to go to Seligman and was switching cars on the side-traek, preparatory to starting on the road. He was about through with this work and was going to the rear of the train to enter his eaboose.
 Near the end of the train while it was moving slowly, he attempted to place a coupling block in position, using his right foot to make the ad- justment.
 It is the supposition that he placed his foot against the links, and that the foot on which he was standing slipped on the snowy ground, throwing Thomas between the cars. He fell across the track and was literally ground to pieces.
 His head was severed from the body and both legs were cut of at the thighs.

NICE RICH TURKEY
 FOR DESERVING FAMILY.
From Fridav,s DailvN

There is a nice, juicy, plump gob- bier waiting for the ax to swing ere he becomes a candidate for the ta- ble in some deserving home.
 The particular turkey is the prop erty at the present time of a prom inent Prescott citizen, who, believing that the "right hand should not know what the left giveth," has modestly refrained from allowing his name to be published.
 Nevertheless he has the turkey and he stated last evening that he will give the big bird an extra feed to- morrow in the hope that a few more ounces may be added before the gob- bier is led to the guillOtine.
 Inasmueh as the present owner of the turkey is to take his Christmas dinner with friends where there will be turkey in ample sufieieney, he is extremely desirous of giving the bird to some deserving family that their Christmas table may be gladdened and their appetites completely sat isfed.
 Consequently he called on the Jour nal-Miner and requested this paper to announce that applications would be received at this office from parties who are deserving of the big bird.
 All of the applicants will be refer red to the committee who had charge of the proceeds of the recent charity ball game and they will award the turkey to the party they find most deserving.
 The owner of the turkey stated that he hopes none who may deserve the bird will be held back by timidity, as he is extremely anxious that it adorn some table in a richly roasted form.

COUNTRY SNOWFALL
 BROKE ALL RECORDS.
CFrom Fridays Daily)

The storms of Monday and Tuesday show remarkable and unusual eondi' tions prevailing in several eOmmuni- ties not heretofore experienced in the history of Northern Arizona in the snowfall registered. Communication was established yesterday with nearly all points adjacent to Prescott and several arrivals reached the city, many of whom gave interesting data.
 In Williamson valley, -the record showed that thirty-six inches of snow fell, an unheard of condition for that elevation, while a few miles farther south it was fifteen inches in Skull Valley.
 Leading into Skull Valley is Kirk land, and at that point the measure ment showed a depth of fifteen inch es also. In the hills adjacent it was over three feet. This was also the greatest surprise to those residing there, not over six inches falling in the history of the settlement of that section covering over forty years.
 Leading into Walnut Grove rs French Guleh, where thirty-six inches of snow fell. This is the first time in the history of that low elevation

For many years Conductor Thomas had been an employe of the Santa Fe, reaching a point of efficiency that gave him excellent rating in the train service. He had charge of the water service between this point and Seligman.
 His wife passed away about one week ago at Seligman, after a brief illness, and this sad event oeeasioned him almost continual grief. He had spoken just a few minutes before to some of the crew of his wife-s death.
 He was an exemplary man, and stood high among his associates and with the officers of the Santa Fe- He was affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, and was a member of Winslow Lodge, F. 6 A. M., and Prescott Commandery of the Knights Templar. He was a visitor to Pres colt about two years ago on lodge matters.
 His remains will be taken to Wins low this evening, accompanied by a delegation from this place. Inter ment will be had in Winslow.

Salt River Valley, more than eighty per cent of all in the United States. The report describes an active good roads movement for which the last legislature made provision, and which is already well under way.
 Of the new railway commission created by the last legislature, the re- port says:
 "During the short time the com mission has had since its organiza- tion to determine its worth, its work has been such as to warrant the be- lief and expectation that it will prove most useful agency in supplement- ing the work of the interstate com merce commission in the territory"
 The territory derives a considera- ble revenue from incorporation fees, the favorable laws of the territory having attracted many corporations. But the governor recommends the en- actment of legislation to prevent the formation of corporations for the per petration of fraud upon investors.

Announcement was made yesterday by George Presler, superintendent of the Corona Copper Company, operating near Wenden, on the A. & C., that his mining syndicate has completed the purchase of S. E. Fuller's one third interest in the gigantic water storage project on the east fork of Bill Williams river in Mohave cOun- ty, the Corona people becoming two thirds owners of that proposition.
 The closing of this deal signalizes the beginning of work on one of the biggest water storage enterprises for power and irrigation purposes under private ownership in the west. It has been in course of maturity for many years.
 The site selected for the storing of the water was originally chosen by MT. Fuller many years ago, who early appreciated the fact that soOr- CT or later the importance of the pro iect would be appreciated.
 MT. Pressler says that in a few days several members of the Corona company will arrive in this city, the Intention being to proceed to their camp and to outline a system for the immediate beginning of work. Esti- mates gathered from engineers who have inspected the ground estimate that at least eight thousand horse power will be generated through sIor- age. while an area of several thous-

Additional interesting extracts from the annual message of Gov. Sloan to the Interior Department are as fol lows:
 "'It is gratifying to be able to state that the year was one of gen eraI prosperity throughout the terri tory and was marked by a substan- tial growth in the output of our mines and the product of our soil. None of our industries suffered dis asters of any kind. On the contrary, nearly all of them, especially mining, farming and stock growing, prosper ed. There was, therefore, satls- factory increase in the wealth of our people. Labor found employment at good wages, and there was shown a gratifying tendency on the part of wage earners to establish permanent homes where they may be employed In some of our older mining camps a larger proportion of married men appear on the pay rolls than hereto fore, and there has been consequently a corresponding demand for houses, which led to the erection of better and more substantial buildings and an increased interest in local affairs on the part of both employers and em- ployes. The assurance that our great copper deposits are practically inex- haustible encourages home building and the making of permanent i'm provements.
 The schools of the territory have experienced remarkable growth and there has been a steady raising of the standard. There is a descrip- tion of the agricultural conditions in the large fertile valleys of the terri tory of the influence of reclamation and of the growing industry of rais, ing sugar beets. Dry farming is successfully carried on in both the northern and the southern part of the ItIIlIOIy.
 There has been an increase in min ing activity and wide development of copper properties of the chief met als is more than $42,OOO,OOO for the year. The cattle and sheep indus tries are in a fourishing condition and free from contagious diseases, an immunity largely due to the vigilance of the territorial authorities. The report recommends the encouragement of sinking desert wells, a bill for which is now before the house."

that any snow whatever was seen, and much surprise was expressed over the freak occurrence. Mark Bradley, who reached the city yesterday from that point, says that the trip out to Kirk land was one of great effort and much personal discomfort, it taking the greater portion of the day to trav- el twelve miles.
 Yesterday Harrington Blauvelt, su- perintendent of the Cash mines, tel ephoned that the show measured four feet on a level at that camp.
 For the first time in history, the mail carrier between Kirkland and Walnut Grove had to abandon the trip Tuesday, reaching a point five miles from Kirkland, and turning back. The snow was three feet deep, and the animal he was riding refused to move ahead.
 Charles Born. of the Prescott Pos tai Service, who returned to the city yesterday from his mining claims near the Octave, says that six inches was the depth of snow at Constellation, which is hard to comprehend, there never before prevailing such an un- usual climatic shake-up at any time in its history. Near this point at a few hundred feet higher the depth was only one foot.
 While at the Alta mine in the Bradshaws on Tuesday, John Curtin and two companions endeavored to go to Crown King. and succeeded in reaching the Gold King, only distant mile from the Alta. where they spent the night. He says the snow was from three to five feet deep, and the greatest difficulty was expert eneed by the party in reaching their destination.

and square miles can be furnished with water.
 At least the sum of 5O0,OO0 will be expended on the work. In addition to the extensive retaining of land it will furnish power for the mine work of the Corona and the cost of oper- ating that property will be reduced to minimum. Other companies ad- iacent will likewise experience the benefits of the power. From the camp of the Corona company to the dam site is less than twelve miles, while the Clara Consolidated and many other mines that are coming to a high state of development and production, are but sixteen miles away.
 The site for the storage reservoir is said to be the best obtainable in the northern part of the territory, the drainage shed covering thousands of square miles with an abundant flow at all seasons of the year.
 With the arrival of the Corona stockholders, it is probable that op- erations will be started up again on that mine A few weeks ago a tenn porary suspension was ordered from the east, at time when the under ground conditions were said to be the most attractive.
 Mr. Pressler will await in this city the arrival of the stockholders in the mine and reservoir enterprise. and accompany them to the Corona camp.

TLMORE PROPERTY NEAR
 POLAND BOUGHT.
From Thursdays Daily>

Negotiations were closed in this city yesterday by Messrs H. P. by son and F. A. Taylor for taking over the ElmOre mine, located on the ridge between Walker and Poland, owned by Dr. L. C. Toney.
 The claim adjoins the Poland Min ing Company's property and the PO- land tunnel cuts the vein at depth of 500 feet, giving it thereby valua- ble rating in solving depth. That the property is attractive and war rants extensive exploitation is evi- deneed through. it's heavy yield in past years A heavy production in very high grade ore is to its credit, and in the earlier day it was one of the notable mines of that section, making the field adjacent famous as a mining center.
 Messrs. Dyson and Taylor stated yesterday that it was their intention to begin development at once, and in this they were favored by having an abundance of timber on the ground and good wagon road reaching to the railroad.
 About a year ago these young and energetic operators become identified with the district, acquiring later the North Capitol claim. Making a sue cess of that enterprise, they secured the Eberhart, the Last Chance and the Hidden Treasure mines, taking | J. VI. Conner as an associate in the latter three The above claims prae- tieally are punched, with the exception of the transaction yesterday, permit ting operation on a feasible plan.
 From the North Capitol 200 tons of are being milled at the present time by the Poland company, and pleas ing feature of the product is that fifty per cent of the values are car ried in free milling ores, and the re- mainder in concentrates. The per ton values while not given publicity are known to be heavy.
 From the day of acquiring the first claim, the results attending the op- erations by these men have been grat' flying. They have taken out over S12,OOO in gold, and have paid for the development, and met all payments due on the options.
 They have over twenty miners at work at the present time, and will in crease the force at once. They pos sess a practical knowledge of mining and are conversant with the mineral characteristics of that zone. Messrs. Dyson and Taylor leave for Walker today to continue their work.

NEW GOLD COUNTRY
 IN SOUTHERN YAVAPAI.
From Thursdav's Daily)

A new gold mining district in
 southern Yavapai county has been
 re-discovered by T. B. Dillon, Chas. Flynn, D. J. Evans and s. J. Bar ney. says the Phoenix Gazette. This new district lies 65 miles north of the Yankee Bill district, (which is F miles west of Goddard s station, and, according to MT. Dillon, affords an excellent field for prospectors. The country has never been prOspected and while MT. Dillon is conservative in his statements he feels certain that several good mines will be dis covered in the vicinity.
 The original strike which caused MT. Dillon and his partners to go into that section was made by a man named Smith. After locating several claims Messrs. Dillon and Flynn re- turned to Phoenix, while Evans and Barney remained on the ground. MT. Flynn and MT. Dillon have already succeeded in interesting several prom inent Phoenix people in their new property.
 The ore taken from Smiths prop erty runs from $3 to $19O in gold. The formation is porphyry and granite with schist intervening. It is along the sehist that the ore occurs. The zone can be traced for three miles. All the quartz shows gold values.
 Messrs. Dillon, Flynn, Barney and Evans found two old arastras. MT. Dillon stated yesterday that he sup posed they were both used By the original "Yankee Bill" who was in that district about thirty years ago. These were the only evidences of for mer activity that they discovered.
 "There has been no work done in that district outside of that done by the old original Yankee '" said MT. Dillon. "'He used the old aras- tras to extract the gold and of course obtained only d part of the values.
 "We spent several days in this and we now have an outfit at work. It is Q good field for pros peetors for the reason that the dis trict has been neglected. That can not be denied.
 ''There is plenty of water and wood for domestic purposes but not enough wood for the generation of power.
 ''I do not like to make any state ment about that section which may sound extravagant, but I certainly feet pretty good about our property and feel sure that it will develop into something worth while"
