PEEPLEs VALLEY
 RESIDENT IS INJURED
From Wednesdays Dany>

CFrom Wednesdays Daily)
 T. Akard, of Peoples Valley. was brought to the Mercy Hospital, yes terday, suffering from a serious frae- ture of his hip, sustained in an ae- cident near Dan Genung's mining camp, Tuesday afternoon, as he was riding home from Congress Junction in his wagon. Particulars of the ae- cident were learned yesterday from B. Hilton, who was at the Mildred mine, and who says that MT. Akard had a very narrow escape from death.
 MT. Akard was driving along at a slow gait, when without warning the bolt that holds the pole in place dropped out of it's socket, releasing the horses. While endeavoring to cheek them he was thrown violently on a boulder, striking on the left side of his body. In this position he remained for over two hours, and during that time was unable to rise or assist himself in ary way. Later he erawled a considerable distance from the scene of the accident and was found about two and a half hours afterward by two miners who were passing through en route to Wiekenburg. The miners found the horses and hitehed them after the wagon was temporarily repaired, and returned with MT. Akard to the Mil dred camp.
 He was exhausted and after re- eeiving all the care possible from MT. and Mrs. Genung, was taken to Con gress Junction early yesterday morn ing and placed aboard the train for this city.
 The attending physician states that the injuries are not serious, but that his hip is badly fractured. MT. Ak ard will be confined to the hospital several weeks.

ELKS MEMORIAL
 SERVICES NEXT SUNDAY
CFrom Sundays Daily)

tFrom Sundays Dally) That the memorial services of Pres colt Lodge, No. 33O, B. P. O. E., Sunday, December 4th, will be more impressive than any ever held by the local lodge, is the statement made yesterday by Milton Tregalles, chairman of the Committee of Ar engagements. Elaborate plans for the exercises have been perfected and the floral decorations will be the most appropriate and beautiful ever seen in the Elks theater.
 During the year ending December list, six members have been called by the Grand Exalted Ruler of All. This is the largest number added to the roll of deceased members of any one year since the organization of the local lodge. The program will be a fitting tribute to the memories of the absent Brothers, many new de- tails being introduced adding to the solemnity of the occasion.
 Since the institution of No. 330 the annual memorial services have grown to be a feature of the life of the city. The exercises are open to the public and many avail themselves of the opportunity to join in paying their respects to the memory of their friends who have been mem bers of the order.
 The eulogies delivered on these occasions have almost invariably been classics of their kind. The ad dresses of Governor Sloan, two years ago, and Henry F. Ashurst, last year.. are still fresh in the memories of those who were present.
 Reese M. Ling will deliver the eulogy, this year.
 Music will be furnished by the Smith Orchestra, and the program includes numbers from a quartette and several solos from local vocalists.
 The hour of converting the lodge of sorrow and program will be an nouneed later.

RICH STRIKE IS z.., ... ..,. .-.,.' gee REPORTED ON ToMBoY
From Thursdays Dailyl


 Arrivals in Prescott yesterday from Wiekenburg convey the important in formation that a strike was made a few days ago on Tomboy No. 2 claim of the Arizona Mines com psny, which is creating considerable discussion and some excitement among the mine owners of that district A three foot body of malaehite ore was cut at a depth of 125 feet in the main shaft. This character of ore indi- cates that the permanent sulphide zone is next. It is regarded as the best determination yet made on the property.
 The mine was equipped recently with a new hoist, and a single shift of miners employed until the work reached the stage to warrant day and night shifts. Since the discovery was made, the management intends to start three full shifts soon.
 The company recently entered that field, and revived old and well known ground that produced handsomely from surface workings in early days. The property is situated in Castle Creek district, near Wiekenburg, in this county.

BIG PUMP COMES
 TO THE LITTLE DAISY
From Thursdays Daily)

Information was received yesterday by J. J. Fisher, superintendent of the United Verde Extension Mining company, that the new big pump for the mine had arrived at the June tion and that it would be in Jer- ome today. This pump will lift 72,- 900 gallons in twenty-four hours a height of 500 feet As the present flow of water is 3O,OOO gallons, the pump has a capacity that, it is be- lieved, will take care of all future contingencies. Even though its limit should be exceeded, another pump can be installed, the capacity of the pipe line being. sufficient to carry the water that would be raised by both pumps. s7 t=-'- E -"~
 The mine was shut down recently, owing to the extraordinary. flow of water that was developed, but opera tions will be promptly resumed after the installation of the pump shall nave been completed. When this water came in, the miners were work ing in ground that contained copper glance, and Mir. Fisher is of the opin- ion that soon after work is resumed a large body of sulphide ore will be broken into. Should this occur, the market value of the stock will, it is predicted, take a sensational jump. The stock is listed on the Boston Curb, and trading has been active for the past week. The Boston Financial News of Friday, which ar rived yesterday, reports that sales were made at $9, while four days previous it was selling at s2.5O. For new stock, with no important de velopments reported from the mine that could affect the market, this is considered as quite an advance.

Winslow, the initial point of the new double track system of the Santa Fe, to the Coast, is now con nected with improved service, and rails are laid for several miles from it toward Canyon Diablo. At the latter point, where the high bridge spans the deep gorge, it is the inten- tion to widen that structure, for the second track, which will entail a heavy expense.
