 Adviees received in Prescott yes terday were to the effect that the engineers of the Harvey House at Kansas City, are at work drawing plans for the improvement of the Del Rio farm, recently taken over from the city under a ten year lease, ana are desirous of starting the project up before March 1st.
 It is the intention to begin build ing extensive accommodations for men and animals, and to place laborers at work on the reclamation of the land. A portion of the acreage taken over is under cultivation, and the oecu- pants will be given time to vaeate the place.
 In a few weeks after the Harvey people take possession, the dairy cows at Peach Springs, Mohave county, will be brought to the place, and the farm at that point abandoned. Following

financial interests, however, who have given this matter very careful atten- tion, feel that agitation of this char acter, having been kept up for three years past, is gradually wearing it. self out, that the crisis has already been passed, and that it is alto gether improbable that the country will again be called upon to face such severe shocks as it received from the banking scandals of 1907 and the more recent exposures in connection with the American sugar investigations, etc.
 The country has entered upon what promises to be a long period of great prosperity, and it is better that busi- ness and industrial expansion should not go ahead too rapidly at first. Among the most important work to be done in the coming few years is the revolution of power generation and its application. Local steam plants will be replaced very generally by large central power plants to gen. crate and distribute electricity, and more steam railroads will be electri-
 fled. The prospect is that copper con- sumption in electrical fields will con- tinue to show a very great increase from year to year, and notwithstand ing the tremendous growth of pro- ductiOn, there is every reason to be- lieve' that metal prices will rule fully as high in the coming ten years as in the past decade.

 Attorney Stoneman for the plain tiffs stated after the decision of the court had been rendered, that he had been instructed by his clients to per feet an appeal to the territorial Su- preme Court at once and if a re- versal could not be secured in that tribunal, to carry the matter to the United States Supreme Court.
 This case has the distinction of be- ing the longest and most bitterly fought legal battle to be held in the District Court in recent years.
 When this case was on trial before Judge Lewis a few weeks ago, it oe- cupied an entire week, argument of points of law involved occupying much of the time.
 This property is considered to be very valuable and as the result of the determination of the plaintiffs 10 carry the suit to the highest court in the land, if necessary, it will probably be several years before the ownership of the property is definitely decided

 Mrs. Holmes a few months later, left the city, and the paper went into the hands of its former owner, C.. W. Beach. It was disposed of by him to the Journal Publishing com pany, after a continuous life of over twenty-five years, ranking as the pio- neer newspaper of Arizona. The con- solidation effected at that time has been maintained to the present in the Journal-Miner of today, forming an unbroken link in the newspaper life of the territory that goes back to March g, 1864, without missing a week of publication, and when it was a weekly on the border of the nation, the only paper published in Arizona at that time.
 Mrs. Holmes, some years after the death of her husband, married Colonel Cowles, who is still in service, and is stationed at Plattsburg, N. T., where she has been heard from in asking Probate Judge Hicks to re- open the old estate. The money she asks from the government is said to be due on account of the service rend- cred by her former husband, while he was a lieutenant on duty at Fort Selden, N. M., in the quartermaster s department. He resigned from the service, coming to Prescott, where he met his doom a few months after ward.

 The Arizona Bonanza company mine, J. H. Farrell, superintendent, has re- gently installed a 30-horse power steam hoist. The present 100 foot shaft will be straightened and work on a drift eastward begun. At pres ent there are about ten miners em- ployed at the mine, but more have already been found to be a necessity, and a larger force will soon be put to work. The ore already taken from these workings has been of a very high grade, and shows no decrease in values as the work progresses.
 The Mount Elliott Consolidated Mines company have in contemplation the erection of a new shaft gear and the installation of a large amount of milling machinery. They are at pres ent operating with about fifteen men, each shift, and are running three shifts A day

HOLMES ESTATE
 TO BE RE=OPENED
Petition is Filed in Probate Court After Lapse of More Than Quarter
 Of Century.
(Frem Saturdays Daily)

In the Probate Court, yesterday, on the application of Mrs. Kate H. Cow les, formerly a resident of this city, and at that time the wife of s. N. Holmes, the estate of the above de- ceased, was reopened.
 The object is said to be the col lection of a considerable sum of money, which Mrs. Cowles alleges is due her late husband while he was an officer of the army. The reviving of the name of Samuel Holmes, re- calls one of the saddesr misfortunes in the history of the city, when the Sherman House, in this city was de- strOyed by fire on February 15, 1894. MT. Holmes perished in the flames.
 At that time he was the proprietor of the Arizona Miner, assuming own ership but a few months prior to the fire, and reaching the city from the east on a return trip but a few days before this sad catastrophe. When the alarm was sounded he was at his printing office and rushed to his room on the second floor to recover a con siderable sum of money. Securing it he attempted to reach the hallway, when he was overcome by smoke, and perished a few, feet from the door. His body was afterward reeov- cred on the ground below, burned to crisp.
 The building was a shell and of frame construction. Several guests had narrow escapes with their lives, and the entire block was burned to the ground. The Sherman House was

 The mining industry in the vicinity of MeCabe has taken on a new i'm petus, as a result of the near com pletion of the smelter at Humboldt, and things are beginning to open up in a mining way whereabouts.
 The group of claims controlled by the Humboldt Consolidated Mines company, has undergone considerable improvement, in the way of several car loads of heavy timbers having been put in and new gasoline hoist erected. Eight men are at present employed there, and this force will shortly be increased to twice that number.
 The Grand Mountain, another of that group of claims, will, upon the receipt of several car loads of heavy timbers, begin the sinking of a 3OO- foot vertical shaft. After that depth is reached they will begin erosseut- ting the formation. A 2O-horse power steam hoist will shortly be installed at the mine. President F. L. Dwight of the company is on the grounds giv- ing the work his personal super vision.

COPPER OUTLOOK IS MUCH
 MORE OPTIMISTIC

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 1O.-The metal market is quiet and steady, with prices a shade lower. Lake is 1878 to If cents, and electrolytic is 135s to 1894 cents per pound. The liquidation of foreign speculative ac- counts on the London metal ex- hange is resulting in irregular and sagging quotations there, and this is to some extent responsible for the easier tone of the domestic mar ket. American producers have every confidence in the situation, however, and are firmly maintaining their selling prices.
 The domestic consumption of cop per, already at high water mark, is steadily increasing. The outlook for the coming year is very satisfactory. Undoubtedly considerably more cop per will go into consumption in 1910 than in any previous year in the historyof the trade. The belief is quite generally held in producing circles that consumption will sufici- ently exceed production to absorb the existing surplus and force prices well above 15 cents in the closing months of the year.
 A very great deal depends, Of course, upon the state of domestic business confidence. The belief is entertained in some quarters that the popular agitation of trusts, az gravated by the high cost of living; the government investigations of cor porations and the activity of the so- called insurgent faction in Congress, may unsettle confidence and cause a temporary check to our industrial ex- pansion.

COURT REVERSEs JURY
 IN LIVE OAK CASE

GLOBE, Ariz., Feb. S.-A case of signal importance to the mining inter ests of Arizona was decided Satur- day when the District Court rendered decision confirming the rights of the Live Oak Copper Mining and Smelling company to the Copper King claim, to which William Mill Williams, John Alexander, Koch - Berndt, ana Mrs. Cornelia Palmer sought to get title.
 The case involving the right to the Copper King claim was tried in the District Court the latter part of De- eember. It being an equity suit the verdict was only advisory to the court. The court, however, following the custom, called a jury to assist it in making a decision. On December 29, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs, but the court took the evidence and the jury's find ings under advisement. At the same time, Seth E. Hazard, representing the Live Oak company, filed a motion asking the court to make it's own findings in the case, disregarding the iury's verdict.
 This motion came up for argumen, in the District Court, Saturday morn ing, and was continued until late in the afternoon, MT. Hazard making the argument for the Live Oak con- pany and MT. Stoneman for the plaintiffs. Judge E. W. Lewis, after hearing the argument, dictated to the court reporter his findings, in which he found the facts of the case favor able to the defendants. In handing down his decision, Judge Lewis held that inasmuch as the Live Oak com pany had done in good faith it's work on the adjoining Live Oak claim for the benefit of the entire group, in- cluding the Copper King claim, al- though there had been differences of opinion among the witnesses at the trial as to the benefit of the develop ment work to the claim under consid eration, the Live Oak company was entitled to have permanent right to the mineral land in disprte.
 The court will expect NIT. Hazard, as attorney for the Live Oak com pany, to prepare in writing his find ings cOinciding with the courts de- cision and thereafter judgment will be rendered by the court in accordance with these findings.
 The Copper King claim, which was the subject of the suit, was purchased by the Live OaE Development eom- pany from the Live Oak Copper Min ing and Smelling company. The plaintiffs in the case relocated the | claim in 1906 on the claim that the latter company had not done its as- work. The amount of land | involved is about ten acres. The claim is located in the southern part
