RYAN MINE SOLD ID Il PASO
 PEOPLE
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Activity in the mining industry in the A. & c. country has recently taken a new impetus and investors are coming into the district on every train.
 One of the most important deals consummated this season was the sale by Larry Ryan of his property to a syndicate of Fl Paso people for s1O,- OOO. The first payment has already been made and the new purchasers are on the ground preparing for ex- tensive operations. They bought every foot of lumber in Salome for the purpose of erecting the necessary camp buildings and as soon as these are completed, the work of sinking a shaft will begin.
 The Ryan property is located in the Granite Wash mountains, in the vicinity of Vieksburg, and is a gold proposition. Larry Ryan, who is one of the well known prospeetors of Arizona, has owned the claims for years, and has developed them to such an etxent as to render them at tractive as a mining proposition. They are close to the railroad, with a good road leading thereto.
 The Fl Paso syndicate is said to have abundant capital and its mem bers are enthusiastic over their pur- chase.
 Ryan has many old friends in Yav- apai county who will be pleased to learn that he has made the deal.

VICIOUS BRUTE TELLS
 WHY HE KILLED MAN

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Jan. s. - William Pfannkuche took the witness stand and before o'clock had fin ished his direct examination at the hands of his counsel on the trial of an indictment. which, if the verdict is found against him, will mean a short shrift of his earthly career.
 He was cool and collected, and, aside from the same demeanor which characterized his conduct yesterday, when he declared that certain wit nesses were liars, he seemed to be labOring under less excitement than some of the witnesses who had ap- peared against him.
 "I'm sane,' was almost the first declaration after being sworn. "I was sane the night I shot and killed Asa T Hoy" said he, in response to questions by his attorneys, and then continued:
 "I did not go into the Review of fee to kill Hoy-for, up to the time of the union troubles and the strike, he had been my friend. I had been a friend to him and had loaned him money He had, been a friend to me and had nursed me through a very severe illness, when typhoid fever almost got the best of me.
 CT went to the office of the Re view and to Hoy's department where he was working on a linotype, to get $50 which I had loaned him and which I needed to go to California. I was going next day, and wanted this money.
 FWhen I entered the room, Hoy reached for his gun, and I shot him. Then I was frightened and feared that some of the rest of them might kill me. The gun pointed at Book holt went off by accident, and ' thought Arevelo would kill me, and so shot at him, too"
 This was practically the summar- izatiOn of Ffannkuche's testimony, broken though it was with questions, objections and the wrangling of the attorneys over points of law.
 Before the cross-examination began, the court took a short recess. Pfann- kuche will now undergo the supreme personal ordeal of the trial barring his wait for the verdiet-cross-ex- animation at the hands of the district attorney.

AWAIT ARRIVAL OF
 CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

WICKENBURG, Ariz, Jan. 6. - R. c. Jensen, who is to superintend the construction of the 2O-stamp mill at the Vulture, and H. G. St. Clair, who has the contract for the hauling of the material for the same, are both here anxiously awaiting the ar rival of cement, lumber and maehin- cry. Grading for the mill site has been going on for some little time and will very soon be completed and ready for the foundations. There are fifty tons of cement on the road for this and other necessary cement work. Also lumber for the building and five car loads of machinery. This has been stopped at intervals, as the freight yards here could not begin to accommodate this amount of material, and an effort will be made to handle it as fast as it comes in so as to keep the yard as clear as possible. A rock crusher will also be used in connection with the stamp mill, which will enable the plant to handle an increased amount of ore. The stamps are to weigh d600 pounds each and will thus be capable of crushing a great amout of ore. The mill and eonstrue- tion will be strictly up to date in every particular and built in a man. ner that will admit of more stamps being added at any time. Mean while the twenty stamps already at work will be kept busy, and it is thought by MT. Jensen, who repre- sents the Demerest company of San Francisco, that the new twenty stamps will be in place and ready for business early this coming spring. MT. St. Clair expects a part of his hauling outfit here Wednesday and the ear loads of material are ex- peeted to begin to arrive any day. All this looks good to Wiekenburg, and increased prosperity for the town is expected from the activity at the Vulture mine.
 Charles Niekels of San Francisco is here looking for mining inevsU- ments. He will visit the Black Rock and Blue Tank districts and perhaps others in that section, and expects to be away about ten days. Later he will take in the A. 6 c. country, and must indeed be hard to please if he cannot find something to his liking somewhere from the Hassayampa to the Colorado.

for fuel and inefficient management.
 At their various mining properties the new company intends beginning a systematic campaign of develop ment, which in general will consist in sinking shafts to depths sufficient to prove each individual property; running levels and erosscuIs from these various shafts, and winzes and upraises from the latter to block out the ore developed and get each mine in readiness for operation to the largest extent warranted by the ore bodies so developed.
 At the present time work is just starting at the Tennessee mine in Chloride. Machinery has been ord cred for the Champion and Twins mines at Cerbat. At each of the latter a deep shaft will be put down immediately. A few miles away shafts are being sunk on the Silver and adjoining properties and the same will soon be started on the Summit, one of the old time rich producers of the county. On Stock ton hill work is now under way pre- paratory to the sinking of two shafts on the Banner group, one on the Prince George and others on ad- joining properties owned by the same company.
 Dr. Godshall's company has also secured the Cupel and De la Fontaine mines, two of the biggest in the county, and will start deep sinking in these in the near future.
 All in all, the significance of this vast work planned and already well under way, can scarcely be overes- timated Besides giving immediate employment to a large number of men in Mohave county, the great ore bodies assured at the very beginning of operations, their working and treatment will attract the attention of the entire mining world and must rebound to the credit of the district

SEC. WILSON HAS OWN STRONG
 VIEW
From Tuesdays Dailyl

"An impression that the national forests contain large areas of agri- cultural land to the exclusion of set tlement and large areas of untim- bered grazing land unjustifably brought within the national forest boundaries for the sake of grazing, has gained wide currency" says Secretary of Agriculture James Will son in his annual report, just made to the president.
 "'To satisfy myself on the ground as to the facts, I made personal in- vesigation of these matters during the past summer in the states of Idaho and Wyoming. Presumably the time win come when some DOT tions of the present forests can with benefit to the community be convert ed into farms. Through dry farming, plant breeding, and the introduction of new forms of useful and drouth- enduring vegetation, agriculture is steadily gaining upon the desert, and may be expected to gain on the for est in semi-arid regions. Growth in the population also will bring an in creasing demand for farm land. But it will also bring an increasing de- mand for timber and water conser- vation. The present is not the time to decide where the line should finally be drawn.
 EI found no evidence that the national forests are withholding from settlement land now in demand for agriculture. AS to grazing land, it is sufficient to say that proper ad- ministrative control of national for est grazing has neeessitated the fix ing of the boundaries where they now are, that public sentiment in the states visited is strongly in favor of the maintenance of the existing boundaries, and that representations that great areas of land are held for other than forest purposes are, in my judgment, wide of the facts. '"
 When tracts of land suitable for agriculture are found scattered in the national forests, they are al- ways, contrary to the belief of many, opened to settlement under the act of June Il, 1906, and the secretary says in his report that nearly 1,5OO homesteads, with a to- tai area of 14O,OOO acres, were list ed during the fiscal year.

CONTEST BEGINS ON WALKER
 ELECTION
CFrom Tuesdays Danyl

Whether Walker will be a wet or dry precinct is a question that will be determined in a day or two by the supreme court of the territory.
 Under the order of the board of supervisors, prohibition went into eff feet in Walker district on December I6, and since that date the saloons there have been closed until a few days ago, when Wm. Gronlund re- opened his place of business for the purpose of testing the legality of the local option election. as a result of which Walker went dry by a vote of 34 to 16.
 Gronlund was arrested, as had been prearranged, by Deputy Sheriff Frank Bunnell, and was taken before Jus tiee Johnson. He secured a change of venue to Prescott, depositing S10O cash bail. The case came up before Justice MeLane of this city, who who found him guilty and imposed fine of $10O. Gronlund then took an appeal and by a stipulation be- tween the attorneys the appeal was carried direct to the supreme court, instead of passing through the dis trict court, this being done in order to secure a speedy determination of the points of law involved. There are several points on which Gron- lund relies to convince the supreme court that the Walker election was invalid, the principal one being that the statute declares that local op- ton elections must be held under the general election laws of the terri tory. This was not done, it is al legged. in the Walker election, as un- der the time prescribed by the elec- tion proclamation issued by the board of supervisors, the usual peri cd was not allowed for the registra- tion of voters.
 Another legal argument advanced is that the full time prescribed by law did not intervene between the date of the first publication of the election call and the date on which the election was held.
 These are the main issues that will be presented to the supreme court now in session at Phoenix, and if that body declares the election in valid, as many lawyers believe will be done, Walker will again be placed in the category of the "wets."
 No contest has yet been inaugur- ated as to the local option election at Kirkland.
