APPALLING ACCIDENT.

Three mourncrS, their pastor and
their driver sat in Il funeral coach
near HavcrStraw, \. y, yesterday
afternoon and watched certain death
come rushing on them ut 80 miles an
hour.
With screcch of grinding breaks,
heavy West Shore freight engine,
hurrying south to pick up 4 train at
Weehawkcn, crashed into the coach,
scattering It's occupants along the right

The old shaft is being used to gain depth, and is being put in good condition, while at other points the enterprise is being placed on an entirely new and mod ern basis for future handling.
 The ores from this group are free milling in character, and tests give satisfactory returns. In mining CIT cles these claims have enjoyed for many years an excellent name, and from what is in evidence with the new management of them, they should be desirable as producers when pres ent efforts are. carried out.

Last summer, while on a tour of the east, MT. Twitehell met MT. Raw le. Mir. Rawle took a contract to secure capital for the Ray Northern company. He had no trouble in se- curing money after Walter Harvey Weed and Charles Herzig, who came to Arizona several months ago, es- pecially to inspect the Ray Northern and Ray Copper Creek, had reeom- mended them for development. They would not say that they are great mines, for comparatively little work has been done upon them, but they found all indications to be quite flaw orable. Both are in a district that is highly mineralized and which is attracting a great deal of attention from investors. The Gila, Ray Con- solidated and Ray Central groups are among the most promising.

Rrom Thursday.s DaIlvl

Advices received in Prescott yes terday were to the effect that in a few days the work of beginning the installation of the electrical service of Fort Whipple would begin, and a force of mechanics would reach the city from San Francisco.
 The Central Electrical company Of that city has received the contract, running to over $15,OO0, which cov- CTS the placing of fixtures in the many buildings, and the construction of towers for the twenty-five arc lights that will be placed at different points on the reserve. Over 2,000 in- candeseent lights for the interior of the buildings are contracted for.
 The power for this service will be furnished by the Prescott Electric company, who will construct their line to the first station within the post boundaries on the street ear line, and from that point the Central Flee trie people will make connections and establish a sub-station.
 All buildings at Whipple were built with the intention of being connected up with electricity, and are ready for the current. The fixtures to be placed in them are said to be the best and the latest in design on the mar ket and will add effectively to the interior of these splendid buildings The illumination of the post grounds will also be striking and pleasant to contemplate over the present method

ROAD REPORTED IN
 DEPLoRABLE CONDITION
(From Fridays Dailyl

Unfortunate conditions are prevail ing at the present time along the road to the many mines of the Santa Maria section, from Hillside, on the s. F., P. & P.
 The wagon road into that district is in a deplorable condition, due to the heavy storms of a few weeks ago, and it is said to be impractie- able for freighting in or out.
 At Hillside, at the present time, are three car loads of machinery that is to be placed on the Neimann group, recently purchased by James H. Boyd, a mining man from Wash ington. In this consignment is a mill, which is to be placed on the ground for handling the ores from that property.
 This shipment has been at the sta. tion for several days, and is sub- jected to the usual toll for storage.
 MT. Boyd arrived in the city yes terday from his mines, to look into the matter of having the road re- paired and the machinery moved. He feels very enthusiastic over the flu ture of the group, believing that it is an enterprise that will give an ex. cellent account of itself in the near future.
 Twenty miners are employed under the superintendency of A. R. White, and good progress is being made in the work, which is practie.

VETERAN FINDS
 wICKENBURG ACTIVE
'(Wiekenburg News.)

Prof. W. P. Blake of the Univer- sity of Arizona, at Tucson, was in Wickenburg, en route to Parker, where he went to examine the mines of the Ruby Gold and Copper com pany. On his return trip he will visit the Fred Staffard property, near Wickenburg.
 Prof. Blake is well acquainted with the whole territory, and was in Wick enburg when there was but one house, and that was devoted entirely, said the professor, "to Prof. Treadwell and rattlesnakes. George A. Tread well, it will be remembered, was at that time managing the Vulture mine, and the names of both gentlemen are intimately connected with the his- tory of the Vulture when in it's palmy days it was yielding an amazing amount of gold and the accompanying excitement. He had hobby of keep ing an assortment of rattlesnakes, and usually had a number of the reptiles boxed in the house.
 Prof. Blake was very much grati- fled to learn of the resumption of the Vulture mine, and of the great sue cess it has encountered in the open ing of new ore bodies below the old workings. He was surprised to find such a nice little town as he found here, mentioning especially the fine hotel and stores and the newspaper.
 He was shown some specimens of turquoise from the Concho group, near Wiekenburg, which he pro- nouneed the genuine article. He is very much interested in the metals, minerals and gem stones of the terri tory, and has issued a list of the lat ter and the various localities in which the rare metals and gems are found. He says that invariably the rur- quoise deposits of the country have been worked by the aborigines, the evidences of which arc visible to the present time.
 The turquoise deposit on the Concho tallies with the description given in every other case, there be- ing evidence in abundance of ab- original workings, fiat beads being found on the ground.

MAYER ESTAT E
 VALUED AT s42,ooo
(From Wednesdays Daly.)

Yesterday in the probate court the inventory and appraisement of the estate of the late Joe Mayer was filed and recorded. An interesting state. ment is furnished through the re- eeipt of this instrument, which shows the wide range of the deceased in his years of a residence at Mayer, and of which place he was the founder.
 The property of MT. Mayer GOV cred extensive real estate and build ings, in addition to which was mining ground of vast acreage, patented and unpatented. He built a brick block, devoted to merchandising, restaurant, saloon and barber shop, while in wooden buildings he owned the Mayer hotel, warehouses, livery stables, blacksmith shops, and many other buildings, including nearly half of the residences, running over two score in number. In short, he was practically the owner of the greater portion of the town, that has a pop ulation of several hundred.
 In mining ground he had eight pat ented placer claims within the limits of the place, while in the adjoining districts he held nearly twenty loea- tions of quartz mines. As returned, the valuations were placed at a nom inal sum, $42,s15.95, only.
 The horses, cattle and goat in terests he owned were ordered sold at once, which was deemed expedient to reduce the cost of maintaining them. Another order was made by the court to sell all other personal property of the same character for similar reasons. For the support of the widow and a minor child of the deceased an allowance was ordered to be paid monthly. The appraisers of the estate were James E. Bark, Charles H. Hooker and L. F. Cru well.

HARVEY FARM IS TO
 BE MADE MODEL
From Thursdays Daily

l trOm InurSQdyS Odlly)
 While in the city yesterday, Carl Rees, who has municipal land at Del Rio, under lease, made the statement that in a few days he will vaeate the ground, and turn it over to the Harvey people, who have secured a ten-year lease on that area, which will be devoted to the dairy and veg etable raising business.
 A few days ago, J. A. Conforth and the superintendent of the Peach Springs farm of the Harveys, made an investigation of the Del Rio lands, laying out the ground for the cree tion of several houses, and otherwise preparing to take charge. Surveyors accompanied them. It is the inten- tiOn to get all improvements under headway before the first of March Had not the severe weather of a few weeks ago interfered men would have been on the ground before this to start the work of retaining tho vast area. It is probable that within the next few weeks the mileh eows from Peach Springs will be sent down, and that place will be abandoned The plans decided upon call for the immediate expenditure of several thousand dollars, and it is expected that before the first of June there will be a herd of several hundred in pasture ,and the series of buildings to be used will be up and ready for occupancy.
 The Harvey representatives stated that they will handle the entire six hundred acres and place it in a pro- ductive stage as rapidly as can be done. They expressed themselves as more than pleased in securing the place.
 Points east and west of Ash Fork will be readily supplied, and the dis continuance of several feeding sta tions will follow that to maintain calls for the heavy expenditure of money.
 A large force of carpenters and laborers will reach the place before March, and the preliminary work rush ed as fast as possible, the desire Of the company being to get it in run ming order as soon as practicable. The new ground will be placed under cultivation for an early crop of alfalfa.

It is ex- peeted that this experiment will prove valuable in demonstrating the utility of the air ship in war. The ease with which funds were raised in Los Angeles for defraying the ex- penses of the aviation meet shows that city to be one of the most pro- gressive in the country, and I hope Washington will have as easy a time in getting money for the pro- posed aviation meet to be held here. Sums ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars were sub- scribed in a short time, until fund more than sufficient to make the meet an assured success was at hand.
 "Arizona," said Dr. MeAdory, "expects statehood to be granted her at this session of Congress, and considering the wonderful progress that has been made in the territory in the last few years as result of the big irrigation projects which are now completed, the people believe that they are entitled to the rights and privileges that go with state- hood. The most notable improve ments in Arizona have been along the lines of the Santa Fe, where set tiers are going in large numbers and towns springing into existence at remarkable rate. Arizona's greatest resource, of course, lies in her min eral resources, and these products are receiving more attention than ever before. Not satisfied with being the greatest copper producing state in the United States, Arizona is develop ing great vigor along many other lines. One of the most attractive sections is the northern Yuma coun- try, where large sums of eastern and French capital are being expended in developing numerous rich mines.

PLANS ARE MADE TO
 GENERATE MORE POWER
From Fridays oaIiy)

Announcement was made yesterday at the offices of the Arizona Power company, in this city, that a crew had been employed and is now at work surveying the second develop ment of a water power plant on Fossil Creek, and it was probable that in a short time the installing of another generating project would be begun.
 The engineers will run lines for the intake dam at the Springs, establish route for the tunnels and water conduits, pressure pipe line, and the power house. A survey will also be made for a transmission line to connect the upper and lower plants. Through the building of this addi- tional power system, maximum ea- paeity of 5000 horse power will re- suit, which, added to the original project, will reach a total of at least 15,OOO horse power that can be gen erated.
 The second development plan un- der consideration will absorb all the power of this stream, and the com meneement of work is expected to be ordered in a short time. The var ious mining camps at present tapped by this power give a splendid &C., count of the service, and with the many new contracts coming in, it is the desire of the management to be in position to serve all future demands that may be made, and to do so the installing of the additional power will in a short time be a necessity. Construction work out of this city to camps adjacent will be resumed in a few weeks, or as soon as surface conditions will permit, and the snow disappears.

EASTERN MEN To
 FINANCE RAY NORTHERN

Eastern capital has taken hold of another mine in the Ray district. A syndicate of New York capitalists, headed by s. W. Enrich of 25 Broad street, has taken a contract to finance the Ray Northern Copper com pany for the development of the Ray Northern and Ray Copper Creek groups of claims, both of which are owned by that corporation, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 Francis P. Rawle of 6 Wall street, New York, the man who interested MT. Enrich and his associates in the Ray Northern property, arrived in Phoenix yesterday, and will leave to- morrow for Ray. He will be accom- panied by W. B. Twitchell and Rex W. Dunlap, and probably by Allen Rogers, who is expected to arrive here tonight. MT. Twitchell has been the principal promoter of the Ray Northern up to this time and ineor- porated the company. Mr.. Dunlap IS chief engineer of the property and will continue in that capacity. Mir. Rogers will be consulting engineer and special representative of Mir. Enrich and the financing syndicate. He is consulting engineer of the Chino Copper company, in Mexico, and has been associated with MT. Enrich a number of years.
