RACE WAR PREVAILED FOR
 SHORT TIME THURSDAY
(From Friday,s Daily.l

For a while yesterday afternoon it seemed as if the entire Chinese popu- latiOn was in action along Granite street, the affair being an attempt, it is alleged, to wipe out that quar- ter by three Italians who were some what under the influence of liquor.
 The latter were passing along Granite street and two of them threw rocks into the Man Woo Chong store, breaking several panes of glass. One of the party was overhauled and asked to pay for the damage. He refused and struck the Chinaman a blow in the face, when several other Chinamen appeared and then com menced a fusilade of rocks.
 One hit the Italian on the head and he retreated at a lively rate to the alley and then into the basement of the Hotel St. Michael About 25 Chinamen followed him and as many more tried to overtake the other two Italians who ran into the bed of Granite creek.
 The Italian was afterward taken to the city jail and locked up by Chief Prince. He was intoxicated and the blood was flowing profusely from the wound he received. A doctor was called but an examination showed that he was in no danger, the wound being but an inch long and small artery only was cut.
 Several of his friends endeavored to bail him out, but it was deemed advisable to keep him over night, as he was still possessed of the be- lief that he could annihilate the en- tire Chinese population single hand ed and desired to do so. The Chi nese are said to be somewhat alarm ed over this affair and have asked for police protection until the trou- ble dies down.

BRADSHAW SECTION HAS
 EXCELLENT OUTLOOK

After several days spent in look ing over the mining fields of the Bradshaw mountains, A. c. Massey. the well known operator, has return ed to the city, and speaks enthusias- tieally of that entire section after making an inspection of various prop critics.
 This was MT. Massey's first visit to that district, and he says that during the time he spent in the vi. einity of Crown King, many mining engineers and investors examined sev- eral claims, taking samples of ore, and saying that mineralogical eondi- tiOns in evidence together with sur face shOwings were indicative of an attractive mineral make up. The many mining men who are coming to that section are considered as an index of the future of that district and the interest that is shown it to- day by the desire of so many to CAdhAhC the many ullucS, HdNHdulS the belief that in a few months hence it will be the scene of much activity and heavy investment.
 The recent sale of the Crown King mine is welcomed by the mining ele- ment of that country, this property serving as key to the situation gen erally speaking in that vicinity.
 Those eonversant with this prop erty are of the belief that it will be an attractive proposition and at tending its resumption by MT. Mur- phy, there IS a buoyant. feeling in all circles.
 MT. Massey earnestly believes that this old and neglected section is on tie eve of an era in active mining never before experienced, and he is faithful believer in what is in evi- lenee to make the assertion that it is one of the best looking sections he has inspected in long career in he mining business.

RANCHMAN MAKES REC
 ORD TRIP IN AUTO
(From Fridays DailY.l

Sending his Ford touring ear over the heavy mountain road to William son valley that is just at the pres ent time undergoing improvement and that IS consequently not in as good condition as ordinarily, Harry Clark yesterday established a record for auto travelling by making two round trips from his ranch to this city with out single mishap. He travelled more than loo miles.
 He left his home early yesterday morning and arrived in this city in one hour and twenty-five minutes.
 At 8 o'clock accompanied by Su- pervisOr Barney Smith, Clerk Peter of the board of supervisors and a Journal-Miner representative, he re- turned to his ranch.
 Shortly after II o'clock the party started on the return journey and arrived in Prescott again before l o'clock in the afternoon, stopping half hour en route to inspect the road work. Supervisor J. W. Stewart accompanied the party on the re- turn journey.
 The trip was taken for the pur- pose of inspecting the improvements that are being made on the William son valley road where the new scrap CT, which the county purchased some time ago, is at work This seraper is giving entire satisfaction.
 Discussing his trips yesterday, MT. Clark stated that his machine is good for several more round trips in a day if necessary.
 "There is no getting away from the fact that autos beat horses" he said. "They travel faster and if you only know how to handle them

MIDDAY MINE IS
 SHOWING UP WELL
FrOm .wednesday,s pailyl

F. w. jiroux NJ. E., and II. C. Heffelman have just returned after an examination of the Midday claim in the Bradshaw mountains.
 The work that uncovered the bon anza ore was done in a winze which had been started some time ago. After going down some ten or twelve feet ore was struck and now shows in the bottom of the winze. The work shows a good strong ledge and ore occurs on the foot wall side of the ledge. Work is now being pushed in tunnel ing to meet the winze, by this method the vein IS being prospeeted and will show just what is there
 The high grade ore samples have not been assayed as yet but the low grade samples run 225 ounces in silver and 40 per cent lead.

ACTIVE WORK WILL
 START ON NEW ROADBED
cFrom Thursdays Daily,

Active work on She grading of the roadbed between Parker and Bengal of the A. .. C. will commence inside of one week. Three hundred teams are en route to that point from Texas and the securing of labor has been completed.
 The preliminary work of establish ing corrals at Parker has been out lined and headquarters established at that point for the direction of the work. Yesterday afternoon E. J. Scott, of St. Louis; E. P. White, of New Orleans, and c. D. Smith, of Memphis, the contractors, reached the city and will await the arrival here of the heavy equipment to be used. front and completed arrangements and state that the work will be rushed to with a strong force, the being to turn the grade over before warm weather arrives and May first is set as the date. They esti- mate that at least 1000 Mexieans and Indians wifi be employed in general labor work, but that their white la bor employed at other points will be retained and will arrive with the ami nals in a few days, passing through this city.

POWER LINE IS
 NEARING THE CITY
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

Yesterday the surveying corps of
 the Arizona Power company under
 Barton M. Jones, reached the elty
 limits of Prescott on the east and to
 the south of the Citizens cemetery. From that point the line, it is re-
 ported, will run due north to the
 Whipple milit; " reservation, where it will digress to the west and follow Granite creek south to the plant of the Prescott Electric company. This survey IS for the purpose of perma- nently locating the site of the big towers that will later be erected to carry the heavy transmission lines to this city.
 From Walker to Prescott the route has been materially changed from the original plan outlined. After the sum- nit near Spruce mountain was passed over, a direct line has been run to this city instead of following Groom creek for a few miles which would bring the line to this city on the southern limits instead of to a point that yesterdays work shows to be the final point
 Yesterday the brush men of this company reached the Midnight Test mine and that will be the permanent camp until Prescott is tapped. The force employed in this work are cleaning q path several feet wide on each side of the towers that will be erected later when the line will be strung along them. A large force of men are employed in this work which is a precautionary move to secure the structures from destruction by fire in the forests.
 About the first week in October the current will be turned on to Poland and the Poland Mining company will be the first mine on Big Bug to receive it.
 The company is also busily engaged at the present time in stringing the line to the Shylock property near Humboldt and will have the service ready at that place by the middle of October.
 A force is also at the Little Daisy nine at Jerome and that property will be connected up not later than the middle of the coming month.
 At Walker the finishing touches are being given the various departments, where a sub-station will be placed for he distribution of adjoining joints.
 In a few weeks hence the entire rev of the company should be work ng on this side of the range of noun ains and before snow flies, the cur 'ent should reach the city.

HUMBOLDT WISHES
 TO HAVE ELECTION
Rzom wsaDesoey's Daily)

C-1 "NeA5D3<s@S 1@AAJS
 Two more local option elections have practically been agreed upon by the residents of Mayer and Humboldt, and in few days hence the support CTS of these movements viii make their declarations known in long peti- tions that will be forwarded to the board of supervisors for legal author ity to this end, to test the question before the qualified voters of the two above named districts. The nee essary documents are ready to be for warded from each section and at the present time the boundaries of the sections 10 be affected are under con sideratiOn. Official action will be asked of the board at heir monthly meeting and it is the desire of the parties interested to have tn elee- tions take place at the earliest oppor- tunity thereafter
 A representative of the Mayer pro- hibitiOn league was in the city a few days ago, to make the preliminary legal arrangements, and stated that the necessary number of signatures had been obtained and would be for warded to support his side of the con troversy. He also said that a poll of the place showed that a majority of the resident voters were in favor of the closing of the saloon and when it came to the ballot he believed his cause would triumph.
 The representative of the Humboldt movement was, however, in a differ ent position to the Mayer spokesman, so far as his belief was to Nbe con sidered. He says that it is the wish of the liquor interests of that place to have a test made of the question, and he would join the Mayer people, and have two elections on the same day, in order to facilitate the con troversy, and was pronounced in his opinion that Humboldt would vote "wet." It is his desire, along with that of his co-laborers, to have a test made at the earliest opportunity, and that whichever way the verdict was given, the existence of the saloon would be settled one way or the other for two years to come.
 These are complex situations in the cause of the issues involved Mayer is earnest to hold its election, and has only those to support the issue who are hostile to the liquor people, while on the other hand the Hum boldt idea is to have "go" at the "drys" believing that the "wets" are in the saddle so far as votes are to be considered.
 The designated zones of the two elections will probably be followed out on school district boundary lines, and the same resident qualifications of voters will prevail as was observed in the Kirkland and Walker elections held on September 4th.

CLAIMS IN
 BLACK HILLS --E SOLD
(From Fridays Dai1y)

(From Fridays Daily)
 Through the recording of three deeds yesterday in the county re- corder's office an important mining transaction was consummated in this vicinity. Sheriff Smith executed to c. T. Joslin a deed for the old Swastika Copper eompany's claims in the Black Hills on a judgment he secured in November, 1908.
 Following this transfer MT. Joslin later disposed of his interest in the same property to T. c. Jordan and after this transaction was perfected MT. Jordan gave a deed to the La Gracia Gold and Copper company, the consideration named being $5, 72I.5O, and ten claims are mentioned in the sale.
 Linked to this transfer to the La Gracia people is another transaction that was perfected some time ago when this company secured the Red Bluff or Morrison group, which has been merged with other property owned and aggregates in the sale of yesterday a group of twenty full claims. Through this merging or all interests the Swastika and the Long Beach and Arizona Mining company become extinct and are absorbed un- der the corporate title of the new company known as the La Gracia Gold and Copper company.
 In speaking of the purpose of the latter organization yesterday, T. c. Jordan, who is at present in the city, gives an interesting statenent of the purposes of his corporation. He says that the efforts of his company are at present centered on a demonstra- tive test of the Red Bluff ground to make determinations of the extent of the Cobalt ore that was recently discovered.
 On the surface the vein carrying this character of ore was but ten inches wide but since reaching a depth of from ten to fifteen feet it has widened to nearly four feet. The outcrops can be traced around the mountain for a distance of nearly one mile. 4 carload of this ore has been taken out and will be shipped in a few days to Perth Amboy, New Jer- sey, for treatment.
 At this point is the only public reduction works in the country that is capable of treating this particular production, and it is the intention to have that amount handled ill order to be governed in future develop ment. MT. Jordan is also preparing to go to Washington, and will take a shipment of one hundred pounds of this Cobalt ore along and submit IL 10 the government chemists m that city for a thorough analysis. He is over the possibilities of not only the Red Bluff ground that yields this ore, but since the new company has merged all of the many locations of the old enterprises and the development they show at many points, believes the big group is an attractive zone in its mineral pos abilities.
 The La Graeia properties are situ- lted in Gravevine canyon, eight miles from the United Verde, occupying the southern slope of the same range 1f mountains.

GREAT ACTIVITY IS SEEN NEAR
 COLUMBIA
Improvements Are Being Made in That Mining
 District
(From Saturdays Daily)

Private advices from Humbug dis triet state that considerable mine de- velopment is going on around Colum- bia, and following the work at sev- eral claims more attention IS being shown the district than has prevailed in many years. Attention is directed to that section from the fact that the proposed territorial north. and south road will probably pass close to or through Columbia and in its trend from the Bradshaws will cut through the main gold region adja- cent. The mining element along Car penter Gulch, where the main gold belt of the district is located, are active in their operations and some sales are anticipated in the next few weeks.
 John Ravello's mines have lately been examined and sampled by out side parties and if the assay returns reach the figure expected a sale will be closed. Some interest is being shown the Robert Lee ground and he has a carload of high grade ore ready for shipping to Fl Paso. The most enthusiastic miner in the district is George Carey, who has run onto two feet of free gold ore that assays four ounces to the ton. MT. Carey is a pioneer of this district, and has de- voted years to mining at this one point On the old Tip Top ground Frank Wager is earnestly and hope fully erystallizing plans for future work. He is supported in the move ment by every miner along Hubbug who is eonversant with the property and its yield in the past. The re- sumption of work at that point is being generally discussed, and linked with the gold output along Humbug the silver values that will come from the above proerty will bring this sec tion into its old time rating at one quick bound. MT. Wager in his pres ent operations is fortified behind a quarter of a century of practical min ing, and during that time has spent the most of it on the belt that GOV CTS the Tip Top locations. He is, ac- cordingly, familiar with the miner aIogieal character of that zone and the belief prevails that he and his associates will make a success of the enterprise when present plans are matured and the property is under operation again.
 Chairman Harrington of the board of supervisors and Territorial Engi- | neer Girand of the good roads pro ject, was expected to reach Columbia at the time the letter was written, and the entire community would ex- tend them any courtesy and assistance within their power to make a temper ing community believe they are en- titled to consideration and above all other things they wish an outlet as well as an inlet to the field they have been struggling for years to bring out. Accordingly they are an ticipating that this road will run through at some point and give Hum bug an open door for once. This dis trict is the earliest in gold produc- ton and independent of its quartz makeup it is yet to be the center of heavy placer yield when maehin cry can be brought into it. The road movement is the all absorbing ques- tion at the present time and through it will the district leap into promi- hence and regard.
