GOOD REPORT ON
JARBIDGE CAMP

What is evidently an intelligent
and conservative estimate of the
Jarbidge district, to the extent that
an estimate can be made under ex-
listing conditions, is that contained
in letter just received by Colonel
George w. e. Dorsey and asso-
ciates, from w. w. Fisk, mining
engineer, who was sent by them to
size up the situation and to be on
the lookout for anything good that
might be obtainable. The good sur
face showings of the district have
apparently all been located, Mr.
Fisk says. He has seen nothing
open that is worth locating. He is
negotiating, however, for a lease or
ground near the Bourne group, with
outcroppings of the same character
of rock. No work has been done
on the prospective lease, but there
is some mineral showing and the
chances for opening good value:
are favorable.
AS a result of having examined
the more noted showings of thu
district, Mr.. Fisk says:
1.-The Bourne ledge looks good
One of my samples showed $4,000
values in panning. Several portion
of the vein show little free gol'
and more of it shows telluride. TIL

Il do not look for much in the

There doesn't seem to be much
of vein system, but there appears
to be vast territory of big chin

trict appears to be of volcanic ORR

The probability is, therefore. that

WINFIELD NOW
owns THE BUCK
THORN PROPERTY
FINAL PAYMENT OF $4,000 IS
MADE AND BIG DEAL
RECORDED.

George Wingfield yesterday COM
'pleted his purchase of the Buck
horn mine in central Nevada,
which he has been operating un-
der option for nearly a year.
The final payment OF $4,000
was made and now the property
has been transferred in toto.
Mr.. Wingfield and several east
ern associates have formed a closed
corporation to operate the prop
erty. The showings are good, but
just how good is not made public.
The Buckhorn has all the earmarks
of becoming one of the big prop
critics of Nevada. Development work
will now be pressed stronger than
ever.

DESERT MINE IS
 REPORTED SOLD
CFrom Thursdays Daily)


 The old Desert mine, located two miles north of Vieksburg and owned by the Mount Antelope Gold Mining company, with Joe Winchester as the chief stoekholder, has been transfer red to Benjamin F. Hall of New York and several of his associates, says the Arizona Republican. It was stated that the ten stamp mill at the mine will be placed in read mess and started up by October l. There is said to be enough ore on the dump and on the surface to keep the mill in continuous opera tion for the next twelve months.
 It is the purpose of the purchasers to begin mining operations as soon as possible. The mill was erected some fourteen months ago but has never been operated. It is practie- ally complete in it's equipment but there are still some things to be done before actual operations may be begun.
 Both Mir. Winchester and MT. Hall were staying at the Ford yesterday, where they met to arrange the final details of the transaction. MT. Hall has devoted the past ten years to mining. One of his investments was q CoIorado mine for which he maid s42,OOO. It produced $s7,0OO worth of metal last year. He did not care to say much about the purchase of the Vicksburg mining property but admitted that he and his associates had acquired control of it.

was also proven that Healy was moi injured, as he claims he was, and bore no marks of violence what ever.
 Assistant District Attorney Frank Baxter, who represented the proseeu. tion, admitted that the Territory had no case, and requested Judge L. E Short of Bouse, before whom the trial was called, to dismiss the ae- tion. This was done after one of the most strenuous trials ever had in that county.
 In the consideration of this case, Healy practically offered no corrob- orative evidence in his own behalf, while on the side of the defense, from the beginning to the end of the trial, the evidence of the de- fense was clear and concise at all times. Thirty-awo residents of Par ker were on trial, among whom were some of the most prominent and in fluential residents of Western Ari- zona, being MT. Dunn, the banker, Dr. Whitmarsh, a leading physician, Thomas brennan, a merchant, Post master Reany, Assistant Postmaster Griffith, Ivan Neill, a deputy sher- if, Justice of the Peace Graves, Tom Schultz and John Roberts, be- sides over a score of other leading citizens and taxpayers. Practically every resident of the several hun dred in Parker was involved direct ly or indirectly, in the proceedings, and when the verdict was announced by Judge Short, a great demonstra- tion took place in the court room and on the outside at Bouse. Later, at Parker, twenty-five miles distant, the ending of the trial evoked public demonstration, ending with a publication.
 Following the verdict of Wednes- day, it is stated that Healy will be proceeded against immediately on the charge of perjury, arising out of the testimony he gave in the case, and will be brought to trial on that charge at an early date. This ac tion is in the hands of E. S. Clark, attorney of this city, who repre- sented the defendants in the trial at Bouse, and is supported by every resident of Parker and surrounding country.

mimicking those of copper stains and misleading the prospector, wno sup poses that the vivid tints are indi- cations of copper. The ores run only about 2 per cent, but may be made to pay by proper treatment. The deposits are described by H. SI Gale.
 Near South Mountain, Pa, copper in the shape of blebs, grains and wires is associated with ancient lavas, particularly with the green stone that is so widespread in that region. Traces of copper are found for eight miles, from the Gettysburg pike to a point beyond the Mary land state line. Most of the pros poets are at stream crossings, where the overlying rocks have been worn away. The copper was brought up from the interior of the earth with the lava, but was then very finely disseminated through the mass and was worthless. Later it was con- centrated in veins by hot circulating waters, which dissolved it and later redeposited it, on the walls of cav ities, and in other places. These deposits, which are described by G. W. Stose, have been known for sev- enty years, but have not yet proved to be commercially important. Sys- tematic search, however, might re- veal valuable deposits.
 The advance chapter containing these reports is numbered 430-B, and may be had by applying to the Di- rector of the Survey at Washington.

 EMULATE JOHNSON
CFrom Fridays DaiIy)

(From Fridays Daily
 Prescott is in the throes of passing through its first thrill in the appear ance of the Black Hand symbol of death and destruction, in a small sized race war which prevailed the other day, when Albert Gregg and Frank Holmes, both eolored, went at it in a dispute, with both hands, la Johnson style.
 Gregg runs a lunch counter in con junction with a bootblaek stand, near the Gurley street bridge, and Holmes wanted to buy the eombina- tion trust house.
 A dispute followed, and the two men became involved in a fight over the consideration. Later both were taken before Judge MeLane and fined in the sum of $10 each.
 After the legal bout was settled, the business place of Gregg was plae- arded with a threatening omen, with the following inscription, printed in blood-red ink, to typify the wrath of the aggrieved person: "Chieken, worms, lettuce, ham and eggs" Be- low, in prominent characters, were the death-dealing skull and cross bones, and to surmount the warn ing was the terrifying symbol of the awful Black Hand. This plaeard was painted on a board about 1Ox20 inches and was securely lodged against the front door of the busi- ness house.
 Further action is to be taken against the offender for disturbing the business. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the man ae- cused of this act, to which he paid no attention. Contempt proceedings will be the issue, and on this charge the basis of further legal action is laid.
 Sheriff Smith has in his possession the threatening literature and illus tration, and will preserve it as the first of it's kind to get into his cab inet of curious criminal collections.

HEALY'S CHARGES
 ARE PROVEN FALSE
Accused Men Acquitted and Vitriolic Journalist May be Arrested On
 Perjury Charge

James J. Healy, the vitriolic jour nalist, formerly of Parker, has again lost out in the courts of the Terri tory. After running around several months after the grand jury of Yuma county refused to entertain his grievances, ne took another turn at justice before Judge Short, at Bouse, Wednesday, and was given the worst rebuke yet administered to him, again losing his case.
 The affair has attracted notoriety all over the country. The basis of Healys troubles were due to a con- mittee of citizens of Parker for cibly taking him out of that town, on the evening of April 1st, last, and ordering him to leave the coun- try, for the publication of an article reflecting on the character of a cer- tain woman in that city.
 In the trial, Wednesday, at Bouse, it was clearly and eonelusively shown that Healy confessed openly to the party of men that ran him out of Parker, that the article pub lished in his paper, the Parker Her ald, Ieflecting on one of the most estimable ladies in the place, was false, seandalous and scurrilous, and that he sbjeetly and openly begged for an opportunity to retract it in the next issue. In addition to this confession, he signed an order, which was produced at the trial, request ing the postmaster of Parker not to send that particular issue containing the villainous article, through the mails, the issue having already been sent to the postofice. After the re- ceipt of this request from Healy, the postmaster communicated by wire with postal authorities at Washing ton, when the department ordered the papers to go as addressed, even if the article published was ibelous, and not containing such matter that would exclude it from going through the mails
 It was proven in the trial that six men among the accused, whom Healy testified positively were of those who beat and kicked him on the night of April 1st, were not present at the time and took no part whatever in the demonstration against him. It

COPPER DEPOSITS ARE
 REPORTED WIDESPREAD

Copper was once supposed to oe- cur at only a few places in the United States, but it is now known to be widespread. Most of the de- posits are of low grade, but i'm proved modern methods of treatment have made low grade copper ores very valuable. Geologists of the United States Geological Survey de- scribe the copper deposits of three localities in an advance chapter from the Surveys Bulletin 430, contain ing short pages and preliminary re- port. on work done in 1909.
 The Shasta region in California is the second largest copper region in the United States that can be con sidered a geological unit. In shape it forms a curved belt thirty-fve miles long, popularly known as the "copper crescent" Copper sul phides have been known to occur with the gold lodes of this region for many years, but were not handled until 1895, and since that year the region has produced 500,- 100000 pounds of copper. In 1909 it produced 5O,OOO,0OO pounds, which makes it rank as the sixth or sev- entn copper uistrct in the United States. The ores are pyritic and are of medium richness, averaging to 31a per cent. Some of them form the largest sulphide ore bod ies in the world, measuring 1900 by 300 by 300 feet. They represent, not the filling of cavities, but the re- placement of parts of the rock by which they are surrounded. The re- port on these deposits was made by L. c. Graton.
 In Bear Lake county, Indiana, cop per deposits occur near Montpelier. Here, however, they are mostly car bOnate and not sulphide ores. Their value has not yet been definitely proved, nor is their extent known. The chief project for their develop ment is the Bonanza shaft, which has gone down $50 feet, but has not yet shipped ore. Shales, stained green, maroon and chocolate by iron, abound in the region, the eolOrs

Summer IS extending this section its second edition of cloudbursts, and yesterday several ethereal dis turbances were recorded adjacent to this city of the greatest downpours yet to be recorded for the season.
 Returning yesterday afternoon from MeCabe, where ne was called to bury Harry Jardine, Lester Ruff ner states that on reaching Jack Rabbit Flat, a few miles east of Lynx Creek, that section was a solid sheet of water, from one point to the other, the horses passing through a depth of nearly one foot all the way on the road. MT. Ruff nersays that in all the years he has been a resident of this county never before had he passed through a sim liar rain. The many gulehes leading into that section were running full, and a cloudburst was the cause of this unusual condition.
 Jersey Mcleod, who arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from Groom Creek, conveys similar news from that section, saying that a body of three feet of water was passing down that stream, and that all the gulehes were raging with a full head above. It is believed that the road leading to the Midnight Test mine was demolished. The rain fell in torrents and the eloudburst seemed to be eentered to the upper portion of that district. Two weeks ago
