DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES.
(FrOm Saturdays Dailv.1

Major A. J. Pickerell while in the city yesterday from the Commercial Mining eOmpany's camp in Copper Basin, stated that the main shaft had reached a depth Of nearly 300 feet, and he was satisfied with the determinations made in the ore bod ies developed. It is very probable that a system of crosscutting the formation will be inaugurated in a short time from that point, to make definite calculations of the Zone that carries the attractive mineral con ditions seen on the surface. Since resuming work in that district, the operations of the Commercial com pany have been followed with a great amount of interest, and from what they have established in their shaft work, the reviving of operations at several places adjacent is praetie- ally assured in the next few months.

IMPORTANT DEADS ARE
 REPORTED CLOSED

Reports are in circulation in this city that the taking over of the old Zonia copper mines, lying about three miles north of the Plaeeritas has been effected, and in a short time a strong operating company of Eastern investors will begin the ex- ploitation of the ground. Included in the deal are the MeMahon copper mines, making one of the largest groups in this county. c. and R. B. MeMahon, the owners of the lat ter, were in Prescott yesterday, par tieipating in the closing of the deal so far as their interests were con- sidered.
 The deals follow several weeks of expert examinations made by compe- tent engineers, the old workings of the ZOnia being prospeeted and sampled.
 Work on the Zonia group was sus- pended several years afo, but later the district attracted much interest from the development of the Me Manon mines. When worked in 1898 the method of treating the ores was primitive, and the lack of knowledge of treating copper ores was also a handicap to the development of the property.
 In mining circles the prevailing be- lief is that the Zonia system of veins is a continuation of the geological conditions in Copper Basin, which are believed to be of the same ori- gin. Intervening at various points are croppings showing the same for nations, the gossan on the Zonia be- ing of the same identical mineral family as is found in the southern section of the Copper Basin region.
 Future operations on the property acquired will be awaited with very much interest.

RECOMMENDS FORT
 wHIPPLE ENLARGED

In his annual report to the War Department, Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas, commanding the Depart ment of the Colorado, recommends the enlargement of Fort Whipple into a regimental post, that addi- tioal land be purchased and a stor- age reservoir constructed for the purpose of supplying water for the cultivation and development of the lawns, trees and shrubbery. The re- port says:
 'This post is modern and is rap idly being transformed into an ex- ceptionally desirable station for the troops, especially for those troops just returning from the tropics.
 "The water supply, the source of supply being ThOrbeeke Springs and Del Rio, is furnished by the city of Prescott; it is pure and wholesome and the supply is ample for drink ing and potable purposes. However, under the skilful direction of the present post commander, a large num- Der of trees, affording shade and at the same time adding greatly to the natural beauties of the grounds, have been set out. I therefore renew my recommendations of last year that additional land be purchased and a strong storage reservoir be construe- ted for the purpose of furnishing the supply of water requisite to properly cultivate and develop the lawns, trees and shrubbery that should be planted, and all of which are so necessary in climate like that of Arizona.
 There are many reasons which point to the desirability of this sta tion being increased to accommodate large number of troops, and I again recommend it's enlargement to accommodate a regiment of in- fantry."

Fraternal Mystic Circle May Unite With
 A. o. U. w.
Members Not Required To Stand Medical
 Examination
From Saturdays Daily)

There is before the local lodge of the Ancient Order of United. Work men a proposition to unite the juris- dictions of Arizona and New Mexico with the Fraternal Mystic Circle. Just how the local order will vote is not known. The same proposition is before all the lodges in the two Territories and the majority win rule.
 Although the Prescott branch of the A. O. U. W. is in good condi- ton. the order as a whole has been in financial difficulties for some time because of making too low a death rate in the beginning. The order is more than fifty years old, and as the old members have dropped off, the burden has become heavy on the organization, there not being enough young blood coming in to offset the increasing death rate amog the old members.
 An effort to merge this jurisdic- tion with jurisdictions of other states has proved of no avail as state laws prohibit afiliation with other organizations outside of the state. The officials have not con ferred with any other than the Fra ternal Mystic Circle, as it does not require the members to undergo a medical examination, which would probably cut off many members who have long been identified with the lodge.

IMPORTANT LAND DEAL
 IS REPORTED CLOSED
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

Yesterday practically closed the transfer of the extensive land and live stock interests of Harry Clark, in Williamson Valley, and follow ing that deal, the creation of the
 Williamson Valley Land and Cattle company was announced by the filing of articles of incorporation in the County Recorders office. Those des- ignated as the board of directors and incorporators are J. A. Hope, F. l.. Wright, Joseph F. Young, J. I. Rob- erts and Henry Hartin, all residents and prominent business men of this city. The capitalization is given as $1OO,OOO, with shares of the par value of s1OO each.
 The purpose outlined by the cor poration is to follow the land and live stock business, together with the acquiring of water and water rights, and everything incidental or thereto, and to purchase and sell cattle, sheep and all vari- cities of live stock. The formal closing of this purchase is one of the greatest in area of land taken over that has been effected in re- cent years in this county, 5000 acres of ground under fence being Several hundred acres are under cultivation, and pro- nouneed as good farming land as any in Northern Arizona. It will be devoted exclusively to tho feed ing and fattening of cattle, forming in that respect an adjunct of the o. K. Meat Market of this city.

WORK RESUMED BY
 MILDRED COMPANY
CFrom Fridays Daily)

NtrOm Fridays Dauy)
 Operations are to be resumed inn mediately on the properties of the Mildred Gold Mining company, sit uated near Stanton, and the exten- sive mechanical equipment on the ground is to be placed in position for immediate service, was the an- nOuneement made yesterday by Dan B. Genung, general manager of the company, who left the city to take charge of the work.
 The new ten stamp mill, recently purchased, and which is dismantled at the camp, will be erected as soon as possible and an 5000 foot water pipe line will be laid from Antelope Creek to the plant. A new hoist will be installed at the main shaft, and other lesser utilities will be erected.
 With the advancement of this work, the intention is to start mine development on the plan originally outlined. In this connection the pur- pose is to extensively exploit the veins, in which the. determinations are reported very favorable for the creating of a strong and profitable producer. In short, it is the general opinion that the Mildred properties warrant the expenditure of capital, enjoying in mining circles a favor able regard as to possibilities.
 Situated as the property is, in a new and distinct lode belt, and link ed as it is to the riches that have flowed for several generations from the rich Hill region in placer yields, very much interest follows the fu- ture of this mine as a gold pro- dueer, lying as it does on the north ern contour of the range that gave the fabulous yields of pioneer days, and distant less than two miles from whence the prolific yellow dust was taken out in such large sums.
 MT. Genung stated that he will rush the work of installing the ma ehinery, and when the mine work is started, the same principle will be energetieally followed. l.

DRUNKEN INDIAN Is
 BEATEN BY WOMAN
(From Fridays Daily.)

Attacked by a drunken Indian, while riding on horseback a few days ago, from her home in the Verde Valley, to Jerome, Mrs. Charles Durham succeeded in beat ing the brutal Apache -Mohave away without suffering harm. In defend ing herself Mrs. Durham used the brake rod of a wagon she was talk ing to a Jerome blacksmith shop to have repaired. The attempted as- sault was made in a lonely place on the road, three miles below Jerome. The Indian was arrested later by Marshal Fred Hawkins. He was lodged in the county jail here yes terday to serve a sixty day sentence imposed by the Jerome justice court.
 Mrs. Durham is receiving the con gratulations of her many friends on the remarkable nerve she displayed in defending herself She admits that she used the iron brake rod with all the vigor at her command on the intoxicated redskin, but ol account of being on horseback was unable to infliet any very painful injuries.
 After beating him away she rode to Jerome, where she reported ner experience to Marshal Hawkins, who arrested the aborigine on a warrant issued by the Jerome justice court.
 In the county jail, yesterday, the Indian admitted the attempted assault but gave no reasons for his actions further than to state that he was intoxicated at the time.

NEW HIGHWAY IS APPRECIATED
 BY MINERS Former Sheriff Lowry Is Pleased at Turkey
 Creek Route Says it Will Benefit Industry All Over
 The BradshaWs
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Former Sheriff Lowry is one of the best pleased mining men in the Turkey Creek district over the route of the Territorial road passing within convenient distance of his camp, and with other operators, ap- preeiates the stimulating effect that will be generated into the mining industry there as well as elsewhere. It. will afford many miners in that section the best and cheapest route of taking in supplies and sending out the products, serving, in short, strong inventive for the eeonom- ical development of the mines.
 MT. Lowry states that with other mining men in that field he will be within less than a mile of the new highway, and that the universal feeling in that region is enthusiast ically reflected in welcoming the ad- vent of the road at the earliest op- portunity.
 In other sections to the south, and especially in the Bradshaw Noun tains, where this highway will pass through, a like sentiment is ex- pressed, particularly so where the In- gersoll and other mines are located, the line as surveyed passing over the ground of the latter mine, and touch ing at close points in that district at least half a dozen other proper ties, all of which under present con- ditions cannot be reached other than by trail. So it would seem that from a commercial standpoint, the new road to the south of Prescott will serve the dual purpose of encour- aging mine development and afford ing pleasure seekers all that is de- sired

HoNoRED CITIZEN
 IS LAID TO REST
(From Fridays Daily.)


 In the presence of the entire pop ulation of McCabe and many of his former eitizens in the Big Bug and surrounding districts, the remains of Thomas Houston MeCarty were low cred into a grave in the McCabe Min ers' Union cemetery, Tuesday after noon. Rev. Weatherford of Hum boldt, conducted the obsequies.
 MT. McCarty was born in Mississ- ippi, January 20, 1844. He moved from his native state to Texas in 1851, and lived in the Lone Star State until 1887, when he came to Arizona. He lived in McCabe nine teen years prior to his death, Aug ust 29tn. His death was not en- tirely unexpected as he had been af- flicted with palsy several years.
 He served throughout the Civil War on the Confederate side, in the command of General Bragg, partici- pating in many hard fought battles. He was married August 10, 1865, to Miss Martha Ellen Nall, who sur. wives him. Ten children, five sons and five daughters, also survive. They are Thomas, Daniel, James, Taylor and Jack McCarty, and Mrs. E. Houser, Mrs. s. B. McCauley, Mrs. Allen Johnson, Mrs. Charles Cobie and Mrs. E. P. Wilson.
 MT. McCarty was in every way an exemplary citizen, and his death is deeply regretted by a wide circle of friends, who held him in the high est esteem.

It is the be- lief of Messrs.

Engine Throttle Breaks Allowing Train To
 Run Wild
Possible Collision | Averted By Swift
 Work of Crew

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 2.-One of the most remarkable accidents in the history of railroading occurred on the main line of the s. P. east of Tucson. The throttle by means of which the engineer controls his train, was broken off, and the driver was left without any power what ever, and without any method of stopping the train.
 The air brakes could not be used so long as the machinery of the en- zine was driving the train forward. It was a heavy Overland train, on which were many passengers, and the situation was a decidedly tick fish one. Fortunately, soon after the accident the train struck an up- grade, and the engineer and his as- sistant went to work to "kill" the engine. It took half an hour to put out the fires and bring the train to a standstill, and the passengers never knew what a close call they had.
 If the train had been going down hill instead of up, or even had it been on a level stretch of track, no power on earth could have stopped it, or even reduced the speed, and a terrible wreck would almost eer- tainly have taken place. There were many Phoenix people on the train. Railroad men say that there are few instances on record of a similar aeei- dent.

He will rear the best breeds on the market, and after months of observa- tion has selected the Rhode Island Reds as the most suitable for the climate of that section, ordering sew eral hundred from an Eastern fan eier. They are prolific layers, and their product commands an attractive price wherever placed on the mar ket. In size the breed is larger than the celebrated Plymouth Rocks. Mir. Meek is considered an author ity on the chicken industry.

PACIFIC MINE IS
 COMING PRODUCER

Recent developments in the 300 foot level of the Pacific mine in the Silver Mountain district have de- monstrated beyond doubt that the size and grade of the ore bodies un- covered several months ago are mer- chantable. Samples show values rang ing from $2O to $24O a ton. One drift has been run eighty feet through a body of first-class milling ore from four to seven feet in thick ness.
 A winze has been started on the level and is now down twenty-five feet in four feet ore body showing values from $3O to $6O a ton.
 Operations of the last few months have resulted in the accumulation of several carloads of ore. Immediately after the completion of the wagon road from camp to Harrington three carloads of the heavy copper sul- phides will be shipped on which test runs will be made. The road will be open for traffic about September 15
 The new hoisting plant recently pur- chased will be installed as soon as the road is finished when sinking of the main shaft will be resumed:. The shaft is now 300 feet deep. It will be sunk to the 800 foot level as rap idly as possible and extensive lateral work started from that point. It is the intention of the Pacific Copper Company to erect a reduction plant as soon as the ore bodies are develop ed sufficiently to insure a steady ore supply.
 The property is located in the Brad shaw mountains south of Harrington The company is building a road from Harrington to the camp at an expendi- ture of several thousand dollars. It is the first wagon road that has ever been constructed through that region. The development of the district has been retarded many years on account of the lack of transportation facilli- ties. The preliminary survey of the territorial road from Prescott to Phoenix passes through the district within a short distance of the Pacific and other properties of proven merit.
