CoCHIsE COUNTY IS
 FORGING AHEAD FAST
From Thursdays pailyl


 That there is still considerable avil- able ground for mining purposes in Coehise county that looks inviting to the miner and prospeetor is evident from the many claims of mining lcea- tions that are filed in the county re- eorder's office, says the Tombstone correspondent of the Bisbee Review.
 Since the first of January nearly eight hundred mining locations have been filed for record and during the rast month there were 427 alone. The majority of these locations came from the Turquoise district, which in- eludes the country east of South Pass Tn the Dragons and the county adja- cent to Courtland and GleesOn. This section, however, is not entirely at tracting the attention of the miners and prospectors as a number of lOea- tions have been coming in from the Swisshelms, the Johnston district, Paradise, Dos Cabezas and in the vi cinity of Bisbee as well as in the country south of Benson in the Vel lowstone and RinsOns. A large number of the locations are re-loeations of the properties that were taken up on the first of January on account of the for mer owners not having complied with the United States law that requires the annual assessment work to be done. others were amended locations made by parties to correct errors that were made in the original locations that were made in haste and proper description not given. Not few have been fractions of claims that have been discovered in the vicinity of Courtland and Gleeson that were not known to exist until surveys had been made of the various claims.
 The names that are given to the claims in some instances are very in teresting and shows the trend of the minds of the various loeators. The names of birds and animals seem to predominate while those named after wives, sweethearts and sisters are nu- merance and also the former resi- dence of city or state of the locator frequently appears. One of the most peculiar names recently filed is "Yu- bedamed," which is located in the Yellowstone district.

TAR OFF CATTLE
 HAVE LONG HORNS
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

"When I went to Mexico two years ago, I left a richer mining country behind here than any saw in the sis ter republic" said w. A. Storts, an old time miner, wno returned recently from Mexico.
 "Very little values are found in the mines of Mexico above water level. The veins were worked to the sulphide zone by the Spaniards, he said to a Journal Miner representative yester- day. "Some miners argue that mines that have been owrked in the olden times are bound to be very rich below water level. This is a mistake. They forget that the cost of operation was very small compared with the extraor- dinary expenses of development and equipment of the present day. The Spaniards made the Indians do the mining and gave them only a few cents a day. Practically all the vaiues found were profit, so that any ledge or vein that carried values could be worked to good advantage. Some of the old claims, known as 'antiguas, have proved good when developed to depth, but many have been disappoint- ments.
 "Compared with Arizona the cost of mining and equipment in Mexico is enormous on account of the lack of transportation facilities. A ten-stamp mill finished a short time ago by a company there cost over $45,OOO in gold. Other mining expenses are equally as high compared with the cost of operation here. The Hartman in terests have a number of mining en- gineers in Mexico inspecting the prop critics for sale and making estimates on the probable tonnage which will be developed by the construction of rail- roads into the most promising districts.
 "There is no demand for silver or copper mines in Mexico. Investors will not consider any mining proposi- ton except a gold one.
 "I want no more Mexico mining. l am satisfied that Arizona is the rich est mining country in the southwest, " he concluded.
 MT. Storts returned here from the southeast corner Of Sonora, Mexico. He declared yesterday that miners and those seeking mining investments made great mistakes in a financial way when they passed this territory and went to Mexico in search of min ing investments.

PIONEERS HOME SITE
 NOT YET SELECTED
(From Thursdays Daily)


 A. J. DOran, superintendent of the Pioneers Home, who arrived here yes terday from Florence, admitted last night in an interview that no site had been selected yet for the home, funds for the construction of which will be available after the territorial board of equalization fixes the territorial rate of taxation for the current year at its annual meeting in August. He is an- xious that a site for the home be se- leeted as soon as possible so that plans and specifications for the home can be drafted and that all preliminaries for the building of the home can be ar ranged before the funds for it's con struction are available.
 "A number of sites are under con- sideration," Major Doran said, "but selection mas ncG been made. Dr. Day has offered tJ deed tract of land for the home in Miller Valley. E. A. AIbertson has also offered to donate 20 acres of patented land near Lynx Creek, five miles east of the city. An other site that has been suggested is the Tritle tract, immediately east of the city limits and south of Fort Whipple. This, in my opinion, is an admirable location. While in Phoe- nix yesterday met F. A. Tritle, clerk of the supreme court, owner of the ground. He Informed me that be was not rich enough to donate a site for the home there but said in case it was selected he would make the price very reasonable and mucn lower than its real value.
 Some suggest that the site should be on land which can be cultivated and on which crops can be raised. Personally, am not in favor of a large tract of land for the institution. I believe it is better to have a small tract which can be adorned with trees and shrubs indigenous to this eli mate. A tract of five acres is large enough. This can be easily adorned with trees and shrubs and maintained at a low cost. Part of it can be used as garden if desired.
 ''Since my appointment as superin- tendent I have received many appli- cations for admission from pioneers all over the Territory. Every appli- cation received has been from a worthy person. No undesirable ones have applied for admission. am anxious to get the site selected and the construction of the home under way as soon as possible. Funds are avilable for the drafting of the plans and specifications for the building now but this cannot be done until the site is selected. The plans for the building will be governed more or less by the site.'
 Major Doran says that business is prosperous in Phoenix and Florence and that the mining industry is active in Pinal county.

DEMANDS FEES
 INSTEAD OF SALARY

TOMBSTONE, April 7.-Clerk of the District Court George B. Wilcox has thrown down the gauntlet to tAs district attorney, the board of super. visors, and the late legislature, and will refuse to accept the salary as al. lowed him by the new law, which goes into effect June l.
 Further than that, he has graspea the bull by the bOrns and has posted notice in his office that on and after April l the fees allowed in the United States cases will be charged by nim iR all civil and criminal cases
 Above the list of fees charged iS quoted decision that was rendered by Judge Sloan in the ease of James Reilly vs. A. H. Emanuel, which in volved the question of She amount of fees that were allowed to be charged by the clerk. Judge Reilly refused. to pay the fees demanded by Emanuel, who was then clerk, and the natter was taken into the court, and tue rul- ing of Judge Sloan was to the effect that the clerk had the right to charge the fees allowed under the Urte& States statute. The section provides for a deposit of s10 in eaea ease, as has been the rule heretofore.
 There will be TO decision of sAe district court until tomorrow, or April 10, at which time the court will be in session for a few days to elea- up the business of the October term and pass on naturalization cases.
 On that date those who have made application for their final papers and were notified to return in April for the final examination should be on hand, as that will be the only date on which the court will be in session for that purpose. There are a number of apP6- eants throughout the county who will report on this date or their cases will go over from three to six months.

SOUTHLAND TO HAVE
 TWO GOOD RAILROADS

The Courtland Times is authority for the statement that the Great West ern townsite is to have both the South ernPaeiie and Mexico and Colorado railroad stations. During the past week things have shaped themselves so that the statement of The Times some weeks back is made a self-evidene fact.
 The nam line of the Southern Pa, cifc railroad from Pearee towards Dougls has been completed to a con siderable distance below the south eastern terminal of the Great Western townsite, and after laying steel a dis tanee of about two miles or more be- low the point on the main line direct ly east of the townsite, the work was discontinued there, the force of men and Chief Engineer Jones withdrawing and going to Globe for rush work on the Phoenix and Eastern. The force was augmented, however, on the spur into Gleeson and Courtland, and tAe ground has been torn up till it is al most impossible for the automobiles in and out of Courtland to get over tae rough surface.
 The engineers have already staked off the site for the Southern Pacific Courtland passenger and freight sta tion on the branch spur at the south east end of the Great Western town site, and it is probable that as soon as this can be erected freight can come through from Pearee direct to Court land. This would have a tendency to increase building operations wonder fully in the camp, as many people have held back in the erection or structures, pending the location of freight station here. It is held by some that the freighters bring the goods as eheaply from Pearee as the railroad will bring them, but the rail road will probably take care of that feature later on.
 The Southern Pacific station will be on the knoll just to the right of the Great Western townsite as one goes down out of the new city and on the opposite side of the end of the valley from the Mexico and Colorado station There is some difference of opinion ss 4o ,rbatbar the Mexico and Colorado station will be on the Australia claim or the Fl Orc. Both of these claims ioin each other and both of them are at the southern and eastern end of the Great Western townsite. The track will come around the base of the hill on the north side of the guleh and on up into the townsite, between Man and Third streets. The station win be on a syiteh-baek, with a tail running out towards the southeast, with a connecting link running up to the city line, thus giving the opportunities for Y on wnieh to turn the trains.
 The ceasing of operations on the Douglas main line seems to be only temporary stOppage of work, brought about by the haste to complete the line into Courtland and Gleeson, where 1t is said the Southern Pacific has ore arrangements made to become opera tive at a certain date.

TO WORK PLACERS ON
 LYNX CREEK CLAIMS
fFrom Mednesday,s pailyl


 "In an experience of 8 quarter of century operating and equipping placer mines in California, Alaska and South America, I never saw any placer ground to equal in richness or better adapted for dredging than the property of the speck Mining Compa- ny on Lynx Creek" This is the de- elaration made by Captain W. C.. Greenway yesterday to JOurnal-Min- CT representative. Captain Greenway made very careful and thorough exam ination of the placer mines last week while he had force employed doing the preliminary work of the construc- ton of dredging plant.
 ''I came to Arizona under protest, ' the Captain continued. "I had al- ready retired from active work and it was only at the earnest solicitation of W. T. Uric, inventor of the dredge that bears his name, that came.
 "My examination of the Speck properties eonvinees me that these plaeers are among the richest in the entire west. The gold is there and the only way to recover it is to go after it to the bed rock. The ground is adapted to te Uric dredge. The plant now under construction will have a capacity of 1000 yards in F hours. As soon as it is in operation the con struction of three and possibly four dredges of 4,OO0 yards capacity in 12 hours will be started. There is enough placer ground included in the com pany's holdings of 16O acres to keep these plants running many years. More important still is the fact that the yellow metal is there in plenty.
 "The dredge will be 100 feet in length and 20 feet in width. With the exception of few long timbers which are on the way here from Cali fornia the lumber necessary for its construction will be delivered in the next three days. I expect to have the plant in operation in ninety days.
 "The building of a concrete dam across the creek will be commenced at once. The estimated cost of the dam is $5,OOo. It will be a65 feet in length.
 "Watch for real genuine gold ex- citement when the new dredge starts. The richness of the Speck plaeers will startle the gold hunters of Arizona" "
 The Speck property is located on Lynx creek, five miles east of the city. It is known as the Clark estate.
 Captain Greenway built the largest dredges in Alaska for the Sehlitz Get elman interests of Milwaukee, Wiscon- sin, and operated the properties sev- eral years. He also built the Milwau- kee and Wisconsin steamboats owned by the United States and now doing service on the Yukon River. He built Uric, Bucyrus and Marion dredges in the Panama canal and South Ameri- ca, and besides mas had a wide expe- rience in the placer mines of the western states.
 He returned to his camp yesterday. He will be joined here May l by w. T. Uric, president of the Uric Snyder Dredge Company.

A FEMALE ''CoWBoY''
 VISITS THE HOSPITAL
tFrsm Wednesdays DaiIy.)

(frem Neonesday s Daily.)
 Congratulating himself Monday night before retiring that the "turkey herder" had been discharged during the day after being pronounced cured, Dave Finnie, superintendent of the county hospital and poor farm, was startled by the announcement that . strange woman had invaded the sa- cred precincts of the women's ward and had retired for the night in a bed usually occupied by another. Hurry ing into the ward, Superintendent Fin nie found female character, locally known in the Big Bug district as the "eowboy," disrobed and in bed moan ing apparently from pain. She in in need of medical treatment. He asked her for her permit to enter the hospital and she replied that she had none. He called the county physician by telephone and informed him of his strange experience. The physician stated that he had not been consulted for 2 permit and had not issued any during the day.
 In his dilemma he called the hes pital steward and requested that off eial, who was robbed in his usual white garments, to do something for the suf- fering woman. Equal to the occasion, the steward, who is a medical student, called at the woman's s bedside and af- ter a nasty examination gave her dose of a compound of azuca and agua. She felt relieved and later complained of a soreness in the throat superin- duced by a bad cough. The sore throat soon deserted the stranger after two mild doses of syrup of figs.
 Another bed was provided for the usual occupant of the couch and all retired for the night.
 Occupants of the hospital recog- uized the visitor as the "cowboy" at breakfast yesterday morning, after which she departed for the city, thank ing her host and the attending physi- elan CD for their hospitality.
 Superintendent Finne learned that the woman had been carried from the train to the county hospital in the Scopel Hotel buss from the Crown King train. He reported the matter to the board of supervisors yesterday and later was seen searching for the bus driver.
 The "cowDoy" arrived on the train from Big Bug. She complained of be- ing seriously i'll to her fellow passen- gers. She was assisted from the train by a Phoenix clergyman, who was re- turning home from the session of the Phoenix presbytery in Mayer. She en- tered the Scopel Hotel bus and srriv- ing at the hotel, requested to be taken 10 the hospital. Arriving at the gate of the county poor farm, she alighted from the conveyance and entered the women s ward.
 The woman disrobed and retired for the night and was found later by the occupant of the bed, who gave the alarm to the superintendent that a strange visitors was in the ward.

SOME GOOD STRIKES
 IN MoHAVE COUNTY
cFrom wednesday,s pailyl

While our neighbors in the country south of us have ben advertising the rich finds made on the surface, this county is modestly presenting its claims to great values which have been opened up in a number of mines at considerable depth, and which are of great importance, says the Mohave County Miner Foremost among these is the strike made in the Dandy mines, in the River Range, 27 miles west of Chloride W. H. Hall, who is the for tunate owner of the group, brought down this week samples of ore which were weighted with gold, taken from the vein below a depth of 160 feet. Just out of curiosity a run was made on this streak, which gave a return of ST, ,0GO to the ton. The mine has been working and milling three-foot streak of ore which returned in the mill values of $15 in gold, but of course such ore will raise the results far above these figures. Mir. Hall has a grip full of splendid speciments which were shown to anyone who had a taste for "jewelry ore"
 The Dandy mine has large amount of development, about 1900 feet in all. An up-raise has just, been made from the two hundred level to the surface. For a long time this development work has been prosecuted, until now more than 10000 tons of ore is blocked out. To pay expenses while this work was being done a small mill was occasion ally run, but the owner has recently secured a ten-stamp mill which will soon be in position at the mine and then much exposed ore will be stopped out
 Expansion Strike.
 Mention has been made of the rich ore which was being encountered iI the Expansion mine. at Union Pass Chas. J. Huntinson, the manager ot this property, was in Kingman thii week and gave the Miner more infor nation concerning the strike. As sink ing goes on the values increase and
